Great Increase in the Number OF APP

WASHINGTON, Feb. Reconnaissance
of Patents Montgomery has forwarded to
congress his annual report for the calendar
year ended Dec. 81, 1885. 1t is recon-
mended that some provision be made by
which the Office should be furnished with
complete records of patent cases decided in
federal courts for publication in the Ca
zette. The commissioner says the examin-
ing corps Is wholly insufficient to perform
lis important duties, and an increase of the
number OF employees is recommended, as
well as general increase in other divisions.
The allowances for salaries of assistant ex-
aminers are said to be inadequate, and the
practical result of the small salaries is that
many of the most valuable examiners desert
their employment every year TO enter
more lucrative field. 1t is also
recommended that the salary of
the assistant commissioner be increased
from IS, 600 to IS, 500 per annum. Atten-
ton of congress is directed to the fact that
there is at present no statute empowering
or directing the attorney general to insti-
tute proceedings in the name of the United
States, or otherwise to cancel or annul a
patent which may have been fraudulently
obtained or unwisely or inadvertently
granted and which may work great injury
to the public. In conclusion the commits

feat of enterprise that can be accomplished
in Chicago. And now it turns out that the
only object the Chicago people had in invit-
ing the noted Southern evangelist to their
city was to make money out OF
his eccentric genius. While Mr.. JOKES
was preaching what he supposed was
free gospel TO the spiritual
paupers of the Lake City the enterprising
book publishers of the city were busy at
work putting his sermons into book form,
and then copyrighted them so that now Mr..
JONES cannot even read his own sermons
without paying heavy royalty to the Chi
cago book publishers. The only surprise is
that these enterprising book dealers didn't
get copyright on the Sermon on the Mount
and the Lords prayer.

OUR PROGRESSION.

1t seems but little while ago that the
names of HENDRICKS and MCCLELLAN,
of SEYMOUR and HANCOCK and GREELEY
and BLAIR were the rallying cries of the
national Democracy, and yet they are all
gone. And that other grand old Demo-
cratic leader-SAMuEL j. TILDEN-whose
name has been a Democratic taIisman for
more than a quarter of century and whose
sagacious craftsmanship has more clearly
than any other power carved out career
of success for the party whose leader he
was. has passed beyond the three score and
ten years allotted to human life and now
stands on the brink of the grave which
must receive him into final rest before many
more months have gone by. Thus it is
we are brought to face the realiz.
alton Of the fact that the national Demo
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1886-02-14

cratic party has passed entirely into the
hands of a new leadership. The men whom
it knew as leaders but a decade or two ago
are now known no more forever. While it
seems as but Yesterday that the names Of
SEYMOUR and MCCLELLAN and HANCOCK
were household words in million of Dem
ocratic homes in America, it is singular
fact that the names of those who are now in
the lead of a successful Democracy were
totally unknown to fame.
These facts are not only evidences of the
general progressive spirit of American
thought and action. but also of the progress
siveness of the Democratic party. So forci-
bly, is this fact impressing itself upon the
minds of the whole American people that
even in the Republican party strong effort
is being made to cut loose from the leader
ship of the men who have controlled the or
ganization for the last twenty-five years.
The BLAINEs and the SHERMASs and the
LoGANs are not regarded as proper men to
mold the policy of political organization
which is to leave the past behind it and is
to keep its face TO the future. We are
progressive people; the nation IS forging to
the front, not sliding backward. And so
impressively is this fact stamped upon every
movement of national import that the po-
litical party which ties itself to
a leadership quarter of century old Is
left behind and lost in the progress of our
national events. In the rapidity and multi
formity of changes which occur in our ma
tional existence, no school of political
thought can exist over twenty years. The
issues that were prominent twenty years
ago are now dead. The men who were
most prominently identified with those
issues have dropped out of sight with them.
The issues and the men now most promi-
nent twenty years hence will have passed
out of public sight, and new men and new
issues will occupy their place. Thus it is
that our progression moves with rapidity
that dazzles and bewilders the fossil gov
ernments of Europe.

Jensiek's Victims in n Critical Com

Special to the Globe

Special to the Globe.
CLEVELAND, o., Feb. ia man who
has Just returned from Mortified, o.,
where Charles Jensiek's victims, Maria and
Mary Hoar. aged 80 and "a, respectively,
lie Frustrated from their wounds, says
that in neither case has the crisis yet been
passed. the detailed description of the
wounds only adds to the horror of the first
story. Maria has ten distinct wounds about
her head. All her front teeth were knocked
out, her nose was crushed and her
upper lip cut in two. Her left ear hangs
by bit of skin and cartilage, and it is
thought that there is fracture of one of
the parietal bones of the skull. Mary,
though struck but six times with the muir
derOus bludgeOn, has two fractures of
the skull, a jaw bone fractured, and all the
molar teeth on one side knocked out. Her
condition remains critical. Within ten
days when fever sets in it is thought her
wounds must terminate fatally. The doc
tors say that the worst has not yet come and
the girls both tell of a terrible struggle
with Jensick, and once they succeeded in
putting him out of the house, but he re-
turned and resumed his hellish work to the
bloody end. The clothing of both the young
women was completely soaked with blood,
anu the klIcnen was IalTIy SpaJJered WITH
it, The present outlook is that Jensick
will be tried on capital charge and there
is no question about the verdict. The
prisoner is poor brute de-
void of intellect. He says that
if mob comes he hopes will
be shot neatly and quickly. If he has to
hang he will be contented, provided he is
given gallon of beer, beef steak. dozen
potatoes and half peck of apples to feast
on before he hangs.

LAID TO REST.

Americas model soldier is at rest. Yes
terday the grave closed over the most mag
niticent soldier and citizen of this genera
ton. In all that goes to make up the
accomplished soldier and patriotic citizen
Gen. HANCOCK was faultless. He was
just as superb In character as he was in APP
pearance In all the disgraceful jealousies
and rivalries which existed between the
prominent generals of the war Gen. HAN
COCK was never known to play a part.
He was conspicuously free from all
attempts of winning his military reputation
through the newspapers as so many
other prominent officers won theirs. His
modesty was only equalled by his merit.
With the quality of true soldier he inyar-
iably took the post assigned him without
questioning the propriety Of the assign
ment. All the distinction he gained was
honestly and honorably won. His services
were entitled to more recognition by the
government and the people than they ever
received. But he never complained of any
lack of appreciation of what he had. The
consciousness of duty performed was the
only compensation that a man OF HAN
COCKS character and disposition wanted.
Station and authority were not the objects
of his ambition. His patriotism was
of the LEoNIDAs and WAS HING
TON type-he would rather save a
nation than to destroy a world. His
ambition was that whatever he did to do well.
And so strong was this characteristic that
his position as commander of the Grant OBJ
sequies was probably the immediate cause
of his death. He insisted on giving per-
sonal supervision to everything that was
done, and while he was man of great
physical endurance the task was too much
for him. 1t is stated that during the trip to
Mt. McGregor he signed nearly 5000
telegraphic dispatches, insisting on signing
every one of them. and for several days
afterwards his right hand was rendered use
less. This instance illustrates the conscien-
tious disposition of the man to perform his
duty to the very letter and to the minutes
detail.
But with all the glory Of his military
career the brightest spot in his public record
was the lesson he taught and enforced
while in command of the department OF
Louisiana and Texas, of subordmating the
military to the civil power. 1t was an act
of more substantial benefit to the character
and perpetuity of American institutions
than all the distinctions ever won on :
battlefield.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The latest
annoyance TO which Land Commissioner
Sparks has been subjected by the land
thieves and the attorneys who are unceas-
ing in their attacks upon him. Is their cir
culation of a story that after listening to
an appeal of certain citizens of St. Paul,
Secretary Lamar issued peremptory order
to the commissioner to answer within
twenty-fOur hours why he had made his
order of last year suspending final
action on land entries and why it
should not be rescinded. Gen. Sparks
said to-day that this story, like
many others circulated by the same per-
sons, was lie, made out of whole cloth.
No such order has been issued by MIR.
Lamar, who knows what Gen. Sparks is
doing to save the country from wholesale
plumber, and who stands ready to sustain
him in the fight against the would-be
plunderers. While not denying that he is
sometimes annoyed by the succession OF
lying reports about himself and his Office,
Gen. Sparks has no fears that his enemies
will succeed in their apparent purpose OF
trying to wear him out, and forcing him TO
resign his office.

ITHACA. Y. Y, Feb. 13.-The junior
class of Cornell university had its annual
ball here last night. Despite the torrents
of rain that poured down, the affair
was one of the most brilliant and
successful society events that have ever
taken place in Ithaca. The armory was
artistically and 8sthetically decorated with
flags, bunting. banners. and the teSselated

states of Minnesota, Massachusetts, Con-

Illinois and Michigan. President and Mrs.
Adams, together with a number
of professors and their wives, as
sisted in receiving the guests. The
ball was great success socially and nu-
mericaly, and reflects no little honor on
the men of 81. The high water here
which has already submerged part of the

The Broadway smrsace Franchise.

NEW YORK. Feb. 13.-The Broadway
railroad franchise investigation was CON
tinued to-day. James W. Lyddy, law
yer testified as to suit which he brought
on behalf of his brother, John, against the
board of alderman to prevent
the granting of the franchise
but that he compromised the
suit for Sig. 500. Lawson w. Fuller, who
was interested in the cable company, which
offered 81, 600 600 for the franchise, said
his company was beaten by the Broadway
company, which offered no bonus. James
w. Foshay. president of the Broadway and
Seventh Avenue railroad, testified that his
road he guaranteed the bonds of the Broad
way road because he thought it to the inter
est of this company to form an alliance with
the new road, whose competition was
feared. The result was that his road was
canning $50, 900 month more than 1t did
before. Ex-Mayor Edison testified he voted
the ordinance granting the franchise to the
Broadway surface road, subsequently
passed over his veto. because such a road
would not meet the requirements Of travel
on Broadway and because he believed the
franchise should have been sold, not given
away.
