A Republican Ornament.

John P. Evans, pardoned by Govern
or Foraker and released from the Ohio
penitentiary where he had just COM
menced serving sentence for ballot
box stuffing. points moral and adorns
a Republican tale. The whole thing is
characteristic of Bob Kennedy, the
Rump, and Foraker, the chief engineer
of the dirty partisan business. Evans
is remembered by the writer, in his
wild and incoherent testimony before
the Legislature Investigation Commit
tee, as a witness to whom lying was
mere pastime, and perjury welcome
employment. He was both formally
and informally impeached, fatty con-
tradicted by reputable witnesses, the
testimony of the ballot-box itself,
and completely broken down on
cross-examination. A more pitiful
and disgusting spectacle of per-
jury exposed was never wit
messed. 1t even sickened Governor
Noyes, one of the counsel for the con-
testers, and yet to manufacture capital
for the Republican party of Ohio this
convicted perjurer, upon an evident
agreement with the Governor of our
State, went before the Hamilton grand
jury, repeated his lying statement, was
convicted, and promptly, according to
contract, made the subject of Executive
clemency. To this dirty complexion
the Republican party of Ohio, under
the leadership of Foraker, has come at
laSt-TOLed0 Times.

A True Parallel.

The Republican party is catching it
from all sides. 1t is hard to say any
thing sensible nowadays without hit
ting that organization back-handed
lick in some part of its anatomy. Mons.
Henri Rochefort, IN discussing "Re-
publicanism in France" gives it left
handler square on the nose. He says:
political parties have at least one
trait in common with dramatic writers
that is their extreme reeugnance to
recognize that almost always their de-
feats should be laid to their own faults.
It is extremely rare, indeed, for an
author to explain his want of success
otherwise than as due to the incapa-
bility of the actors, or to the rain
or snow, or to excessive heat,
or to some other climatic con-
dition apt to exert an unfavor-
able influence on the public. Un-
doubtedly it would be much simpler to
admit that the piece was Kissed solely
because it was poor; but that is the
last explanation of which the un-
fortunate playwright will dream. In
the same way parties, when they be-
hold public opinion abandoning them,
never look upon this general detection
as direct consequence of their own
detestable policy; on the contrary,
they exert all their ingenuity to dis
cover remote causes, of a machiavelic
and most complicated nature, and
thus free themselves from the necessity
of admitting their own errors and al
low themselves to continue in them. "
This is as true in America as it is in
France. 1t is strikingly true of the
Republican party now. 1t attributes
its losses to every cause but the true
one-namely, its own bad policies and
purposes. Moines Leader.

Some Cold and BIighting Figures.

The cold figures of the returns are as
blighting to Mr.. Blaine's hopes for 1888
as were the fatefuI l, 149 which told, in
1884, that he had then lost all in losing
New York. He has deliberately and
even ostentatiously invited the result
of this State election as a criterion of
his strength; and to the end that it
should be sweeping victory-not for
the Republican candidates, whose cleo
ton was a foregone conclusion under
any circumstances-he has vigorously
participated in the campaign himself
and invited assistance from every
available quarter. 1t may be noted,
parenthetically, that the failure of this
invited assistance to respond is not the
least significant feature of the whole
affair. Logan, Sherman and Evarts,
who were especially solicited, were
conspicuous by their absence, and of
all the other eminent speakers an
nounced only Senator Allison. of Iowa,
and John D. Long, of Massachusetts,,
responded. The dispatch from his own
home, announcing that while "both
the Republican and the Democratic
vote show falling off from that cast
in 1884, yet the Republicans have suf-
fered far more than the Democrats"
ought to sound the knell of the Blaine
Chicago NeaDS.

HINTS TO INVENTORS.
What a Man of Experience Has to Say
About Inventions in General.

What q Man of Experience Has to Say
About Inventions in General.
This is the counsel that an old and
somewhat successful inventor gave me
to-day: ''My advice to everybody" he
said, sis to have nothing to do with in
venting. 1t is more absorbing, dissi-
pating and disappointing than gambling.
Not one in one thousand inventions are
new and useful, and not one in one
thousand that are new and useful are
ever introduced. The Patent Office
contains million splendid devices that
have never been put on the market If,
however, you are bent on inventing
something, then l have some additional
advice. Don't waste your time and
ornamental or luxurious. The only in
vention that is profitable is a money
saving device, and if you find that
your mind is running on any thing
else, drop it. Don't be afraid
too soon that somebody will steal your
invention, for as a general thing your
invention is of no earthly account, and
people would no more steal it than they
would steal the smallpox. Don't work
too long on an idea until you have
learned the state of the art. The prob
ability is that your machine was patent
ed sixty years ago, and was found to be
worthless. If you really hit upon some
thing good do not file caveat. Wash
| ington is full of sharks who watch the
caveat record for good inventions, and
who, as soon as they find one, immedi-
ately set to work to prove prior inven-
ton. Finally, never have a partner in
your invention. A partner can make
ruinous contracts, or assign your patent
without your knowledge or consent, and
| you can't help yourself except by end.

"High-Minded" Criticism.

The Republicans, finding no legiti-
mate cause for the criticism of Presi-
dent Cleveland, are driven to straits
which create almost as much amuse-
ment as they do disgust. Here are
samples from the Commercial:
"The President thinks he is before the
country in the act of heroic adventure when
he sits in a wagon or boat and is pulled or
hauled thirty or forty miles day through
country roads or on alleged lakes"
1.-THE President is having his ponderous
person hauled over mountain roads and
through mountain lakes, in the idea that the
Nation is gaining strength by the resting of
the meat on his lazy bones"
The President is taking such a brief
annual vacation as is usually allotted
to every hard-working employe. He,
like many intelligent men, prefers to
get his rest on fishing trip. He has
his wife and his wife's mother with
him. To the utmost of his power he
has made the trip a thoroughly quiet
and transformations one. We modestly
submit that such stuff as that quoted
above Is . disgrace to American siti'
