TRENTON, n. j., March 2S.--Judge
Green of the federal court filed a very
important opinion this noon in the case
of the Edison Electric Light company
against tho Westinghouse, Church, Kerr
u Co., in which he upholds the Edison
patents. The suit was brought to decide
the question whether the devise used by
the Trenton Electric Light company for
the distribution OF the electric current
is an infringement of the Edison patent,
and the court virtually declares that it
is. Millions of dollars are involved in
these rights throughout the United
States and will accrue to the Edison
companies. The patent in question is
that covering the consumption and feed
ing wire method of distribution. Edison
obtained it ten years ago.

OFFICIAL TIME X EEPEE.
W. T.. ~Chamberiain Appointed to This
Onice by the Great Northern.

W. T.. Chamberlain Appointed to This
ONCE by the Great Northern.
}. w. Forsinger. the chief time in.
spcctor for the Great Northern railway,
has been here for a day or two perfect
ing arrangements for the inspection Of
the time pieces used by railroad men in
this section. He selected W. +. Cham
ber!ain. the well known iewelcr Of this
city. for the Office, and his bailiwick will
extend from Minot to K~alispell on the
main line, and from IIavrc to Helena on
the Montana Central. This will n%ecessi-
tate the opening of Il branch Office at
llavrc by Mr.. Chamberlain.
Although few persons are aware Of
the fact, the time department is one of
vast importance to a railway company.
The standard watch required by the
Great Northern is a full jewel, patent
regulator, adjusted to heat and cold. 1t
must not vary more than sixteen seconds
per week, and must be inspected weekly
and the record sent to the general office
at st. Paul by the inspector. The en-
DlcN cS VI tlo IOdu WIZ dIc oDliSCu ~
comply with the rule are trainmasters,
train despatchers, engineers, conductors,
yard masters, station agents, bridge fore
men, foremen of extra gang, round
house foremen, baggagemen, and brake
men who have been in the employ of the
road for two years and are liable to be
called on to run a train. Watches CON-
ing up to the standard cost at least $40

railroads can fully realize the import
ance of a uniform and reliable system of
time among the men who are directly
responsible in the running of trains, and
and the perfection Of the system by the
Great Northern is an indication of its
purpose to use every precaution for the
comfort, safety and expedition of its pa
irons.
Mr.. Chamberlain is an expert watch
maker, and is therefore admirably quail
fed to look after the time pieces OF this
division. He is an inspector who will
certainly inspect.

AS TO THAT CHINAMAN.
a Correspondent Objects to the Remarks
of the Rev. Mr. Reid.

VI III IseN. If. INeIu.
To THE EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE:
Sir: The pulpit and the press are rec
ognized as powerful factors IL moldiug
public opinion and should b pported
and encouraged when they discharge
their duty to the public from an impair
tial standpoint, but the pulpit utterance
Of the Rev. Mr.. Reid in his Sunday ser
mon lacks that important essential. even
worse, it is t!nged with bla%ckguardism.
an argument that never c%onvinccs.
The men concerned can well defend
their action without wearing Il sneak
hief cCuntenance and without wearing
Christianity as a shield to hide their by
pocrlsy. lney saw it was their duty to
be always watchful and alive TO the
rights aud wrongs of things and were
ready to bring the weight Of their dis
approval to bear instantly at that point
where the public morals were involved
by the presence of a slavetrader.
The men concerned are men who be.
lieved that slave labor must in reality be
abolished and that free labor must be
he CONSERVATION of its own interests.
There is Il great principle underlying
this entire question which Mr.. Reid
would do well to study before posing as
the champion of degraded people whose
only virtue consists in working for -
cents a day.
We have in this country at the present
time 2,OOO,OOO idle men (enforced Idle
ness, and about one-fourth AS many idle
girls girls dependent upon their own ex.
ertions for a liveiihoodl, and yet the
New York chamber OF commerce., the
American board Of foreign missions and
other luminaries of Mr.. Reds caliber
want our ports thrown open to the 400
100000 Mongolians, one-half of which
that country can spare, to be used
against American labor to still further
subdue the already oppressed toiler.
If the clergy would encourage the en-
forcement of the Geary law instead of
decrying the same working people could
afford to tolerate the few that are here
now and let them live and die in peace.
Respectfully. NJ. CoRBETT.
We apprehend that Mr.. Corbett mis-.
CONSTITUTES the meaning of Mr.. Reid at
several points. We do not understand
that Mr.. Reid regards the Chinese as Il
valuable acquisition TO our population
but simply that common humanity and
treaty pledges must be as relIgiously adj
hercd to with respect ~ a Chinaman as
IN the case of any other foreigner. There
will be kicking galore when ironclal re-
strictions are placed on other immigra.
ton, and we shall then know 10y expert.
encc how the Chinese feel about it.

time past and footed up a total of nine
teen cars. The Moulton sent out nine,
the Queen of tine Hills five, the Gait

has arranged to ship regularly ten cars
a week.

CONGRESS OF THE WEST.
The Great Meeting to be Convened at
Ogden, Utah, April -.

II Great Meeting to he Convened at
Ogden, Utah, April -.
A congress of the western states will
assemble in Ogden on Monday, April n
next, and be in session five days. 1t is
known as the Transmississippi congress,
and the territory embraced in its repre-
s~entation is all that part of tho United
States west Of the Mississippi river. 1t
embraces twenty states and territories.
This congress was first organized at
Galveston three years ago, and gave
voice to the demand for deep water on
the gulf coast, that was followed by an
appropriation of %SG,OO0,OOO by the gen
eral government for the Galveston har
Dor. Its subsequent sessions have been
held in Denver, Omaha and New Orleans
The last session, the one at New Orleans,
gave prominence to the improvement Of
the Mississippi, and called the attention
of the country TO the Nicaragua canal, in
connection with its ownership by the
United States. At each session of the
congress many measures affecting the
genera welfare of the IranSmisSippi
country have been endorsed, and oln of
them have since become laws.
The congress is growingin popularity,
and its beneficial results are increasing
as it becomes better known. 1t is OK
pected that the next session at Ogden
will be the largest ever yet held. 1t will
precede the ~reconvening of the Brussels
conference by about thirty days and
will speak to the world the sentiments
of twenty-five stGtes of the great Ameri-
car republic on the 81 yer question.
1t is assured success for any move
ment in the west, upon which congress
at Washington is to legislate 70 secure
favorable action, embodied Ia suitable
resolutions by the Transmississippi con
gress, when followed by reasonable en-
ergy.
A more compact feeling of harmony
and unity Of interest is needed in the
western states regarding legislation by
u national congress. 1t will enable
the west to accomplish much more in
the future than it has in the past. The
president of the congress is ID. Brad
ford Prince and the secretary is o. ".
Crawford, both Of Texas.

cluded to take the back track. as they
feared they would be frozen to death il
they continued the journey. They were
between 80 and 60 miles on their journey
when they turned about. The Austrians
and German We're not so easily scared
and determined to brave the dangers
and kept on their journey, striking the
Great Northern railroad near Malta on
Saturday, and came though to this city
yesterday. They were three days and
