Representative Lore has introduced
bill in the House to repeal the Paten
laws now in force and establish an en-
tirely new system. The bill provide!
that instead of granting to an inventor
patent for period of seven years hi
patent shall be only for one year. A
the end of that time, if the COmmis
siOner of Patents shall be satisfied tina
the invention is a valuable one, h
shall submit it to a committee of ex
perts, who shall decide whether it j
valuable, they fix the amount of value
not to exceed two hundred Thousand
dollars, which must be paid the invent
or or his representatives out of tn
Treasury. If they decide that tn
patent is without value, no payment
made.
&" Mr.. Bayard. it is believed, will renal

next Senatorial election in Delaware
Gray term will expire next March. 1t
believed that Gray would not contest for
reelection against Mr.. Bayard, with III
understanding that the Bayard inhunenC
would be for him when the election OF
successor to Mr.. Salisbury takes place
the Winter Of 1888 and 1889. .'-Nel0 YoT
World
There may be lots of truth in thi
We believe that Mr.. Bayard ought
have remained in the Senate. n
doubt. if he wishes to 60 back he WI
be sent there by the faithful. We
not believe that Mr.. Gray will succet
Mr.. Salisbury in 1888, because th
county wants the Governor, and havir
the Senator, it would look like that
wanted all. There will be rattlir
of the dry bones before long. -Nelca
