PROPERTY IN MENTAL PRODUCTS

While Congress adjourned without re-
considering its action on the Interna-
tional Copyright bill the subject is by no
means lifeless, and its advocates will push
its claims in December on the reassembling
of Congress, and in the meantime continue
the agitation theoretically. Among those
who have very recently debated the issue
is the distinguished thinker, DIR. Howard
Crosby. He takes the position that there
is no such thing as literary property. a
point he makes is, that if there were, Con
gress would not be called upon to put
limitation upon its enjoyment by enacting
a copyright law. Copyright, he adds, is
but courtesy extended to the author; his
production by mere kindness OF the Gov
eminent is made property for a brief
time.
Dr. Crosby is at least for once in his life
in serious error. It is perfectly evident,
from the expression quoted, that he has
not given the subject the study that it
OBSERVES j ne Jaw HAS Always iStOS ilA@cN
the property right of an author to his
manuscript, which may be the object Of
larcenous taking, and this does not relate,
as in the case Of book, to the value Of the
paper and the binding and printed page
alone. It relates to the formulation Of the
idea and the right of the author to keep
his production secret. But when he prints
his essay or other work it becomes neces-
sary to protect him from thievery Of the
legitimate profits of his labor, and hence
we have copyright, just as we have patent
laws.
The justice of the judgment of men has
all along recognized the product OF mental
labor as property, as much as the product
of manual labor, and hence we have local
copyright. 1t may be said that copyright
is after all, not SO much protection as II
is an invasion of the right Of the author

A pocToR,s REFUGE.
Immensely More Mischief than is Gem
orally Suspected.

DR.. King, the eminent medical writer, In
a learned disquisltion on our national COM
plant, constipation, says
The great quantity of cathaTtic pills, etc,
which are taken by the people OF this coun-
try are productive Of immensely more mis-
chief than is generally suspected. True, the
physic unloads the bowels, but its action
tends 10 diminish tho tone of the intestines;
30 that, instead OF removing costiyeness, IL
aggrayates It, leaving the bowels IN more
torpid condition.
Joys Vegetable sarsaparilla was designed
to fill just such q contingency as the doctors
Rrraignment anticipates, viz: instead Of be-
ing powerful mineral purgative, 1t is q
mild vegetable laxative, that, owing to its
solvent and gentle stimulating properties, is
80 certain relief in constipation that it has
been given away to hundreds, not to be paid
for unless it was of positive benefit 1t re-
places constipation almost Immediately
with a natural easy habit, and is so mild
that, unlike drastic purgatiyes, it can be
taken indefinitely with perfect safety.

VIENNA, October 7th.-A crime. CON-
mitted for the qualification of private
malice, has been made public by the arrest
of a scullion named Lederer. employed in
the kitchen of the Archduke Sigismond at
Gmunden, Illyris.
The charge against the prisoner is that
he put arsenic in the food prepared for the
table of the Archduke.
The Archduke and his suit partook of
the food and were all taken sick. The
doctors arrived in time to neutralize the
effects of the poison. Lederer's sole object
was to effect the dismissal of the Arch
dukes chief, who had incurred the enmity
of the scullion.

Rumors of Fresh Revolution Cause the
Government Some Anxiety.

Rumors of a Fresh Revolution Cause the
Government Some Anxiety.
BuENos AYREs, October 7th.-A panic
was caused here last night by the rumor
that fresh revolution had broken out.
Troops were called out and patrolled the
streets during the night. The police were
rapidly armed with rifles and held in read
mess at the central station.
A special train was dispatched to Zarata
for reinforcements of artillery, which ar
rived this morning.
The cause of alarm was the report OF the
police agent that attempts had been made
by officers to subdue two regiments.
The situation is believed to be grayer
than at first supposed.
Many Deputies and Senators passed the
night at President Pellegrini's house, and
it is stated that The Minister of War took
the President and Minister of the Interior
Boca to the barracks for safety. Admiral
Bordero has prepared the fleet for action.
LATER.-The President has ordered the
troops to proceed to Santa Catalina and 60
into camp, leaving one regiment in the
city. Fears of revolution in La Plata
have been dispelled.

The 4" rhunderern stin sneering.


LONDON, October 7th.-The Times has
another leader on the American contribu.
tons for Ireland 1t says: 1.-The promoters
of that ingenious bit of electioneering, the
American Irish Famine Fund Committee,
are naturally ruffied at the detection of
their very simple plan. Brief notices
published to-day of some of the more
prominent patrons of that single eyed
charity show how fully justified was our
description of these philanthropists as
politicians and journalists. The fund will
be a hindrance and not a help to the
champions of the plan of campaign"
Morley Replies.
LONDON, October THIN an address at
Swindon, tonight, John Morley replied to
the criticisms of his recent speech. He
ridiculed the idea that because he had
been a Cabinet Minister he should be
blindfold to the affairs in Ireland. Every
word he had told was true, and he was
glad to have helped in the exposure of the
magisterial authorities. After describing
the distress in the congested districts Of Ire
land, Morley suggested that a remedy was
available by renewing the proposals as to
the Irish land rule in 1886.
Riot in Brussels.
BRUSSELS, October 7th.-A public cere-

crowd, and the demonstration became so
violent that it was necessary for the gen.
darmes to. interfere. This made matters
worse, and riot took place. Several riot

rested.

THE day is very near at hand when
registration for the approaching election
will cease. Yet there is very large
number of voters unregistered. 1t is the
duty of every citizen 10 vote in State
election. He owes it not only to himself,
but to his fellow citizens to exercise the
sovereign right with which free govern
ment has invested him. The danger to
our institutions is greater from the indiffer-
ence of voters to their solemn obligations
to take a part in Government-making
than from the assaults of the vicious or the
chicane of bosses. Let every citizen who
esteems his citizenship Of any value what
ever see to it that his name is placed upon
the Great Register and at once. The
neglect or refusal to register and to vote is
a political crime.

When copyright law is erected, it really
is the equivalent of arbitrarily saying
that, except for limited period, the
natural right of the author shall not be
enjoyed under protection of the Govern
ment, as other property is possessed
and enjoyed. Except in the matter of
methods and means employed, the result
Of mental labor, as property, does not differ
from goods and chattels made by the skill
of man and the exertion of physical force.
If one writes book, there is recognition
by the law, as stated, of his property right
in the matter written. If he prints it in
book form and gives it out, it is for the
purpose of being read, not to give another
the opportunity to reproduce and sell it
for profit. A copyright law is therefore
not for the purpose of creating a property
right, but to afford one protection in the
enjoyment of a natural right. We cannot
understand how such man as DIR. Crosby
could have been led into occupying posi-
ton so opposed to the truths we have thus
briefly indicated.
