The Rights Of Inventors.

Rudolph G. Solomon, of Newark,
claims to have discovered valuable
secrets in connection with the manu-
facture OF Cordoyan leather, and for
coloring kangaroo. alligator and snake
skins. He employed a bookkeeper and
a superintendent, with the understand
ing that they were not to divulge the
secrets of the business. They, how
ever. after learning his methods, made
arrangements with two strangers to 60
into business in Newark and compete
with Solomon. Chancellor Runyon
has issued an injunction against them,
holding that "a discoverer of secret
process of manufacture. whether patent
able or not, has property therein. -

In tho following the Houston Post
is simply just and fair towards agen'
tleman who has recently received but
scant measure ofiustice and fairness
from the partisan press and public
OF the State
The Post published this morning
an open letter from Hon. Marion
Martin, OF Navarro county. Mr.,
Martin writes n good letter. He tells
some strong truths, and tells them
well He has been accused OF hay
ing designs upon the gubernatorial
chair, and this letter would seem to
give color TO the accusation. In fact,
ho is candidate. There is nothing
wrong in this. Mr., Martin is O good
man, an honest man, capable man,
and man with n laudable ambition.
He would make n good and consci-
entious executive, and so far rs the
Post is concerned it would infinitely
prefer him TO some others who have
been mentioned for the position.

Marion Martins pronunciamento

much easier to shy brick at it than
it is to grasp it squarelv and tackle
it point by point. There be many
who will object to it in general

tie with its special statements. There
is more wisdom in it than in the
speeches of Ross and Swain. He III
diciously avoids the rocks on which
they seem to strand and in disputed
matters takes a well selected middle
ground. The document presents as

State Lnnaile Asylum.

While At Austin on Sunday We again yia
tied this institution. There we enjoyed Al
interview with our friend, Miss Coleman
recently Of San Marcos, and were pleased &
make the acquaintance Of Miss burbank
who also resided In our town some year
ago. Both these worthy ladies are official!
connected with tho institution. Miss Evans
Of Davenport, former acquaintance wa

DIR. Denton, tho Superintendent, ant
Mrs. Dentoa returned in the evening from
Nashville, Tom, bringing homo theil
daughters, Miss Alice aud Miss Fannie, who
have been attending school there, aad who
appeared to DO delighted to get homo again.
Miss Alice graduated.
In the morning, by favor Of the doctor,
we supplemented our observations OF the
improvements which have been made since
our former visit in July last, The extcns
i've line OF these then in progress had
reached the north building. These We now
found completed The substitution Of elo-
CANT and substantial iron stnirways for the
former wooden ones, IL most marked i'm
proyemout The farm aud garden connect
cd with tho asylum exhibited fine crops,
which only need timely rams to make n
profitable yield, The grounds in oultiya-
ton are being extended aud will soon reach
$50 acres. a fine largo barn to hold tho
farm products is another admirable improve
mcnt. II is the only r6di burn we have
seen since wO came TO Texas, and reminded
us forcibly of old times in "tho States.n
Some Of our large farmers would do well to
go and see this barn; il might give them
some valuable hints. Its accommodations
for horses and mich COWS are particularly
noticeable.
But by far tho most important improve
ment since our last visit is tho addition Of
nm hospital building, where the sick inmates
can be separately cared for The building
will accommodate some 80 patients with
the nurses and attendants. Everything is
classified and the entire concern
kept in the best style.
DIR. Denton expects to appeal to the Leg |
stature for an appropriation for one further
viz: an extension of the
buildings so as to enable him TO separate |
The white aud colored male patients, which
cannot mt present be done. He will urge |

Justly, holds that his plan IS preferable,

We must say that the worthy superintond-
Mt possesses among the requisite higher
organs of constructive
ess and order (phrenogicaly spoahing) in
n extraordinary state of development and
ctivity, and that very few men in his place
,ould take the same interest and pride in

Senator Coke Right.

Senator Coke said on the 18th
inst:
No one could road the history of
railroad development, without feeling
profound Indignation and disgust
that a system which, like that of rail
roads, had become SO indispensable u
necessity to civilization, should be an
instrument in the hands of II few indi-
viduals for systematic robbery of the
people. 1t was to pay dividends of
watered stock that wages on rail
roads were reduced The evil would
never correct itself. The state gov
ernments and the United States gov
eminent, while united to protect
property, as they should protect rail
road property and the interest of the
public from assault or damage, should
also unite TO crush out a practice
which led to the labor difficulties that
had become so serious a feature of
the railroad problem.
1t is but seldom so much is said
in so few words. The ground is
taken that the state and federal gov
ernments have concurrent jurisdic-
ton and duties; and that labor and
tho entire country have grievances,
while railroads are invaluable. As
corollary, Mr.. Poverty, who opposed
wrongs, was in the right in seeking
Justice for labor. p.

This from the Fairfield Recorder
will rejoice the heart OF Brother Gran,
| fill
Avery largo brewery, which started
operations about year ago in Dallas,
has failed. This is indeed hopeful
sign for Texas. We well remember
when the cornerstone of the building
was laid, abont year ago 1t was
done with n great "Hourishing Of
trumpets," so to speak. If we mis-
take not, hundreds of whiskymen pa
raded the streets, headed by brass
band; whisky, or rather beer orators,
made speeches, showing how Dallas
was growing" and hailed the new
"drunkard mill' as grand institution
for the city. Several of the Dallas
papers wrote up the occasion in high
sounding rhetoric, and seemed as
proud of the brewery as if lnagniii-
cent university was going to be
erected. But after all the brewery is
dead. We are always glad to write
up such funerals.

we have been instrumental in doing

lady friend of ours, on the staff of the
chronological Journal-daughtor of
q Methodist preacher-to whom we
sent some descriptions Of our town,
suggested to us that if we could fur
nish illustrations, one or more of the
descriptions would be published in
the chronological Journal. As we
had the engravings on hand-of river
and Chautauqua scenes-we sent
them, and our friend advises us the
matter and illustrations will appear
in the June number OF the Journal.
II has q circulation of some 10000
copies among the most intelligent

1t is announced by authority that
Mr.. Charles +. Clint, of Dallas, will
be candidate for tho Office of attor-
general. Mr.. Clint has been
county attorney of Dallas county for
several years, and as prosecutor has
no superior in the State. He is the
same gentleman who got his name in
all the newspapers and in the mouths
of all the good citizens u few years
ago by the successful war which he
waged on the gambling fraternity
If every county in the State had such
county attorney as Charles L. Clint
the dirty vice of gambling would be
almost unknown in Texas, and crime
of every kind would be greatly di-
minishod. We do not doubt but
that as attorney general OF the State,
he would be equally vigilant in On
forcing the law under all circum-
stances. The whisky and gambling
rings in towns and cities will oppose
Mr.. Clint with all their strength. The
law and order loving citizens Of the
State should attend tho county con
ventions and rally to his support.
The News is for Charles F. Clint be-
cause of his record and of the enc
mics no has made.-Paris News,

the sentiment of the people, vote for or
against prohibition itsclC Y mere opinion
rs to the cHpedicncy of continuing or diScon-
tinuing the legalized traffic in whisllcy is
4 small matter, when compared with tho

right. The people have not asked our Lcg!S!a-

a law OH tho subject Of prohibition. They have
merely asked their representatives to enact

AS u matter of fact, we have our doubts
about a collcgiatc education of any kind be-
ing of any special benefit in the art of farm
ing. or course, to be a successful farmer re-
uurcs first, that the farmer should possess
within himself the clements of success, and
then he must apply himself, and inform HIM

are no cast iron rules by which the farmer
can be governed, because Of the variety o
soil, and climate, as we'll as for the great di
versity of products.
