Bill Of Complaint.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The at
tOrney-general has caused to be pre-
pared u bill of complaint bringing suit
against Magnus Swenson, the purpose
being to cancel the sorghum sugar
patei.t which has been taken out by
him. The document sets forth that
Swenson's discovery was made while
he was an employee Of the government,
receiving II salary for the conduct OF
experiments in that line. That the
improvement is of great public import
ance, and research has been made by
the department. OF agriculture to this
end; that thisindustry should be made
available and remune"ative 20 all citi
zens who desired to engage therein; /;
that the respondent is demanding large
sums OF money for the use of this pro
cess so as to establish monopoly, and
grievously oppress the people upon in
valid patents.
The commissioner OF agriculture, re.
ferring to the bill, says that he is in
formed that trust is being formed to
control the manufacture OF sorghum
sugar by means Of Swenson's patent.
He says that the case Of the govern
ment is very strong.

Harry GorQon

Harry Gordon has recently received
n fish pole which is the latest and best
invention in tho line OF fishing tackle.
1t is composed of hollow steel tubes,
which fit into each other, as in reg
ular jointed rod, but the line instead
of running along the side through
rings, runs through the inside of the
tubes, coming out of an aperture just
above the reel. This arrangement is
u great advantage, and will he appre-
ciated by any fisherman who has ever
tramped through brush, and either
had to go to the trouble Of unjointing
his rod, or untangling his line every
few steps. The pole obviates bo,h
these difficulties, for the rod is simply
slid together aad the limo reeled up,
the pole turning into small cane.
The steel tubes give elasticity and
greater strength than wood. Mr.. Cor
don's pole only weighs eleven ounces,
and he is willing 10 wager that it will
lift more than any wooden pole of the
same weight. The invention is val
liable one and will doubtless find great
favor among anglers. 1t can be seen

street

put up on Hyde block. The flags
have arrived, but now it appears that
there is no proper support on the roof
for the pole, Mr.. Stewart, the signal
officer, states that while he would be
willing and glad to regulate the flags
# they were placed on Hyde block
where he could easily reach them
from his office, he cannot spare the
time to attend to them il they go else
where. They would be great con-
venience and it is 10 be hoped that
some arrangement can be made to
fly them from the building originally
proposed.

A VERY trying ordeal is a city cleo

newspapers than to Individuals, for

the responsibility Of an open fight
against IL candidate, while paper, II
IL does not assume u neutral stand
(and that Is next to an impossibility),
must take one side or the other and
make the fight to the best of its ability.
There is nothing that II paper can do
that will make for itself more lasting
enemies than by taking sides in u
municipal contest, and there is no
controversy that the average journal
ist enters with more reluctance In II
city of this size where everybody is ac-
quainted, there must necessarily be
friends on every ticket in the field. A
paper may be opposed to gentlemen
with whom the publishers have always
been Oh the most intimate terms, both
socially and in every day business
transactions. 1t is hardship to work
against that candidates, and the party
cannot forgive the paper for so doing.
And in choosing ticket to support, no
matter il the motives are the puriest,

does the paper lose the friendship of
the imme linte candidate, but II muni-
cipal campaign is always hot and
acrid. and friends Of the candidates
opposed are drawn in and the acrimon-
ious feeling becomes wide spread.
However much these facts are deplor-
ed every annual election finds the peo-
pie divided, the press takes sides and
the brief campaign before the election
is short and sharp. 1t proves all the
same whoever is elected. The city con-

house and expressed his views in re-
gard to Whites proposal to send a
congressional committee to investigate
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railway strike. "You can say for me"
said Sargent, "that we are perfectly
willing that any committee composed
of practical railroad men should exam
inc and pass upon our demands at any
time. We have been ready at all
times to meet the officials of the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy, and settle
our grievances in an amicable way.
We are not asking them to pay any
more wages than are paid by all lines
running out OF Chicago. and are per-
fectly willing to have congressional!
committee examine into the matter
and see if it can bring out state
ment. This strike is not of our seek.
ing, but we know that the demands of
the men are just and we can readily
convince intelligent men OF the fact.
Would the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy officials to-day accede to our
demands, which are namely, three
cents per mile, passenger service, four
cents per mile freight service, sixty
per cent of the above rates 20 firemen,

permitted the impecunious citizen to

refinery, water front and railroad facilities
