The Sentinel opposes any attempt to
reduce the expense of elections under
the new law, and says the Journals
statement that general election now
costs $4,000 is nonsense" "There
are." says the Sentinel, "about three
thousand precincts. The per diem will
not average over 50 for each of the five
officials of a board. That is $50. Room
rent will not average over $40. All
other expenses will not average over $40.
That would make a total of $4,000 for
the entire State" The expenses en-
brace many items not included in the
above estimate, unless they are Jumped
in other expenses. Among these are the
printing and handling of the ballots; al
lowance to every county clerk of 5 cents
per mile travelling to and from the capt.
tai to obtain ballots; printing ballots in
two newspapers In each county and
printing sample ballots; two election
sheriffs at each precinct in the State,
making six thousand in all, at $3.50 each
per day; printing placards instructinR
persons how to vote, at least twelve for
each precinct. We think general cleo
ton under the present law costs good
deal nearer 100000 than S15O,OOO. At
all events, it costs more than twice as
much as formerly, and much more than
there is any necessity for.

The expiration OF the patent on the Blake
transmitter, one of the principal adjuncts
OF the Bell telephone. is not likely to Sc
riously interfere with the monopoly of the
Bell company at present. though it may do
so later. in connection with the expiration
OF other patents. The patent for the Blake
transmitter was issued Sept. Is, 1881, and,
under our patent laws, 1t would have run
seventeen years. or till Sept. Is, 1895. had
not the inventor, Francis Blake. of Wes-
ton. Mass, taken out q patent on it in Eng
land two years before he did in this coun-
try. Under our patent laws q patent for
an invention that has been previously pat.
ented In another country expires stimuli
taneously with the foreign patent. The
English patent on the Blake transmitter
was issued Jan. 90, 1879, for fourteen years,
and as that term expired at midnight op
the Goth inst the American patent expired
at the same time. But, while the original
transmitter is no longer covered by o pat
ent several improvements on II are still
covered by patents of later date than the
original. The main patent of the Bell
company will expire on the 7tn of March
next, but it is understood that before that
time the company will apply for patents on
many improvements in the hope of secur-
Ing a continuance of the monopoly. This
will not be accomplished without hard
fight. Meanwhile the Bell company has
the advantage of owning franchises ana
plants in all the cities and large towns of
the country. and whatever may happen in
regard to patents it will probably continue
