sioner Mitchell, after becoming satisfied
that the evil existed, throttled it by
amending the rules of practice before his
office by the addition of these words:
"That no person who has been employed
in the patent Office shall be permitted to
act(as an attorney or agent in any case in
connection with which he had taken any
action while so employed" This will
put an end to the rejection of meritorious
applications for patents by thrifty ex-
aminers, in the expectation of after
wards getting an attorneys fee for get
ting the same application allowed by an
other examiner, and is real favor to
the inventors of the country,
1t is reported that the leaders of Tam
many have concluded to 60 outside of
New York for Democratic presidential
candidate. This conclusion, it is further
said, is cOncurred in by Governor-Sena-
tor Hill. The first statement may be
true, the last is exceedingly improbable.
The candidate said to be chosen by Tam
many is Governor Robert d. Patterson
of Pennsylvania. The reason why Tam
many wants to elect Patterson is that he
will be available both in the east and in
the west. In the east, as. president of
National bank, he will suit Wall street {;
in the west, his report recommending the
conference of the Union and Central Pa
cific railway. would make him exceeding
ly popular with the Farmers Alliance,
and the other people of that section,
who are endeavoring to destroy all prop
erty rights. If Tammany proposes to
adopt Patterson, he will secure the New
Y ork delegates, as Tammany is all pow
erful in that state when in accord with
Goyernor-Senator Hill.
The Democratic and Mugwump news
papers are endeavoring to make capital
out of the failure of the Key Stone Ma
tional bank of Philadelphia, with nearly
million dollars of the state and city
funds deposited in it by City Treasurer
Bardsley. The most malignant papers
of that class, like the New York World,
the New York Times, and the New York
Evening Post, are devoting great deal
of space to the effort to show that
Postmaster General Wannanaker is in
some way connected with this failure be-
cause he happened to be one of the lead
ing business men of Philadelphia, who
was large depositor in that .bank. Mr..
Wanamaker need hardly have troubled

VIGOROUSLY inaccurate, partisan, and fall
styling newspapers as the World, Times
and Post, but he has done so in a state
ment which completely exonerates him
from the slightest imputations put upon
his conduct or integrity as man.
1t is stated that President Harrison and
Senator Quay on Pennsylvania held a
long conference of the political situation.
The president expressed himself as only
anxious to be succeeded by Republi-
can, and is not pressing himself forward
as a candidate in any sense of the word.
He declared, as every one knew he
would, that he would not use the FEEDER
al patronage to advance his personal for
tunes as candidate, but would use all
the legitimate methods to secure the
may be. Senator Quay said that so faI
as the east was concerned, the Republi-
can outlook was good, but that he had
not looked into the western situation and
was unable to form an opinion as to the
strength of the Farmers Alliance in that
section.
Director General Davis, of the World s
fair, said while here this week that the
following gentlemen would shortly go
abroad to see what they could do to-
wards attracting foreign exhibitors to
the exposition: Hon. Thomas M. Wal
ker who will be president; M. p. Handy,
Hon. Carl Schurz, Ex-senator Eustis
and Hon. Benjamin Butterworth. There
may be another member added before
the commission goes away, and Mr.. Ives
of St. Louis, the chief of the art bureau,
will also be sent abroad.
The fool papers, there are great many
of them in this country, are making a
great talk and reiterating it, as a parrot
at cry, "Polly wants cracker" about
the I" billion dollar congress" Some of
them in every issue have more or less to
say about the "billion dollar congress-
1t is true that the last congress appro-
priated nearly billion dollars. 1t would
have been greatly to the advantage OF
the country and the people of the coun-
try if the appropriation had greatly ex-
ceeded that sum.
Sevellon Brown, chief clerk of the de-
partment of state, left here yesterday
morning in charge of a special train
carrying the diplomatic corps to Chica-
go, where, upon the invitation of the de-
partment, they go to see fol- themselves
what progress has been made towards
the great exposition. The following
countries were represented in the party
France, Turkey, Nicaragua, Switzer-
land, Belgium, Norway and Sweden.
Spain, Austria, Russia, Great Britain
and China.
The president has named the judges of
the new private land court, and three of
them are Republicans and two Demo-
Gratis. They are, Joseph M. Reed of
Iowa, chief justice; WILDER F. Stone of
Colorado; Henry G. Sluss of Kansas
Thomas c. Fuller of North Carolina,
and w. w. Murray of Tennessee, associ-
ate justices. M. G. Reynolds of Missouri
has been appointed attorney for the
