many to enrich the few, they are right
They sllege that the public health and
convenience demand the dyking that
would confer such enormous personal
benefit upon them. That sort Of thing
has been popular for twenty years, It Is
the "Huckleberry do" idea.
In spite of that threat the EvENIEa
JOURNAL opposes the expenditure Of the
enormous sum Of the peoples money to
advance private speculation. The city
might as well buy the Sunday Sewer,
clean and fumigateit, ana then tell Bach,
Bell and general scavenger to run IL.
We cannot advocate either. Both are
opposed to public policy.
The temerity that we have exhibited
has brought upon the EVENING JOURNAL
the anger Of the Cherry Island magnate
and the vituperation Of the only 5000
writer in Wilmington.
There have been many newspaper
writer's Of various degrees of ability
and disability, here, but there
was never a writer who was known
TO the public as purchas-
able commodity tin the "snarllng
hound" graduated and got his degree in
Delaware Republication.
After the public threats Of the Cherry
Island magnate, no writer who had not
already acquired reputation as chronic
failure in the legitimate discussion OF
public questions; or who had not become
known as a person whose itching palms
turned backwards and upwards foi
bribes because he Is unable to earn the
legitimate rewards Of journalism, would
advocate the scheme himself or vilfy
those who had opposed it. Writers whc
accept fees for advocating that schem,
or vilifying those who oppose Il, make
their own beds. They proclaim theii
own calibre and composition. II thel
rest comfortably in those beds it is NJ

PATENTS.
Notice to Inventors.


There was never time IN the history
OF our country when the demand for in
ventions and Improvements in the arts
and sciences generally was so great as
now. The conveniences of mankind IN
the factory and work shop, the household,
on the farm, and ia official life require
continual accessions to appurtenances
and implements OF each In order to save
labor, time and expense. The political
change IN the administration of govern
ment does not affect the progress of the
American inventor, who, being on the
alert, and ready to perceive the existing
deficiencies, does not permit the af.
fairs of government to deter him from
quickly conceiving the remedy to over
come existing discrepancies. Too great
care can not be exercised in choosing a
competent and skillful attorney TO pre-
pare and prosecute an application for
patent. Valuable interests have been
lost and destroyed in innumerable in
stances by the employment of incompe-
tent counsel, and especially is this ad-
vice applicable TO those who adopt the
"No patent, no pay system. Inventors
who entrust their business to this class
Of attorneys do 80 at imminent risk, as
