COSTLY ~ENpERIENCE.

Serious and indignant complaints have
been made TO the highest authorities in
the government against the continuance
of the imperfect and unsatisfactory pho.
to lithograpic work of the United States
patent Office. Public and individual in
terest in patents for inventions and for
trade marks, labels, etc is almost uniyer-
sal, and therefore the subject of these
complaints is Of general concern. The
important nature of the work in question
precludes the idea of mere ~CEeapness in
its execution. Misguided experiments in
the direction of supposed economy in
this class of work have been heretofore
made, and always resulted in lamentable
and humiliating failures. The trouble
now is of the same natur 1t is the out
come of the attempt by the commissioner
of patents to effect a reduction in ex-
penses where cheap work is wholly insp-
prOpriate and unwarrantable.
With the alleged purpose of reducing
the expenses of his office-which, blythe

AS TO INSURANCE.

Al the recent meeting Of the National
Board of Fire Underwriters in New York
the usual complaint of the unprofitable-
ness of fire insurance was of course
heard. The president of the association
in response thereto urged as a practical
means to increase the prosperity Of the
business, the reduction of expenses and
increase of income. In view of the fact
that the fire loss in this country for the
year 1892 is reported at more than $151,-
OO0,O 00, and the actual amount of insur-
ance paid by the companies exceeded
$S1 600, 600, a very commonplace eXpe-
dent would seem to be to Curtail these
heavy losses by taking greater precau
lions against fires. One of the surest
means of accomplishing this would be by
securing Improvement in the construc-
ton of buildings, especially in the char
acter of those used for commercial and
manufacturing purposes. The report
shows that the fire loss last year was a
large increase over that of the year pre-
ceding. The building and legislative
committees of the board could not more
proftably engage their time than by de-
voting attention to this matter. The
most disastrous fires occur principally in
large towns and cities and is attributed
principally to the faulty construction of
the buildings. Wise municipal legisla-
ton in reference TO the character and
style Of architectural construction, the
increase Of safeguards and Improvement
Of fire extinguisEing service, greater pre-
cautions against the origin of fires and
vigilance in The suppression of i~ncendiar-
ism are some of the matters that might
prottably engage their attention

A GOOD BUSINESS PLAN.

Mr.. 4. IA. STOKES, chairman Of the
board Of county commissioners, has a
new scheme and We think a good scheme.
1t is a scheme which will save the county
about six thousand dollars a year, and in
these times We need several such schemes
as that.
1t now takes in round numbers $4,000
a year to support the poor farm and
work house. OF course the convicts
work on the roads as it is, but they do
not work all the time. The amount Of
money paid into the road fund and dis
bursed by different supervisors amounts,
in round numbers, to about $ 6 5000 a year.
And the truth Of the matter is, the
supervisors in many cases, and this to
our knowledge, have not been much on
business in disbursing the funds.
The scheme of STOKES, and we believe
it good, is this:
He proposes to take the six thousand
dollars Of road money and with that en-
ploy convicts at the rate Of say forty
cents a day, until he expends the amount
now expended, 81 900 a year. This will
give him then a surplus of two thousand
a year, which he will put into the general
fund, and carry it from year to year and
finally pay the court house debt, which
is about fourteen thousand 1t means a
big saving to the county. 1t will give
the overseer of the poor house work all
the year round it will, we believe, lessen
crime, because when it is known that
yearly work will be exacted from all who
are sent to the work house, there will be
less of devilment.
There is a question of whether the law
is exactly plain on this point, but the
probabilities are that Mr. STOKES will
try the plan, and test it. The supervisors
who now get employment for themselves
and favored %neighbors will kick like SAM
HILL, but let them kick. The county
can save money it will have work judi
ciously done, which in many cases is not
done now, and we will have better roads.
In this way we can buy road machinery,
we can do much that under the present
system seems impossible, simply because
those who have a finger in the pie want
to feather their own nests.
We hope that every taxpayer will co.
operate with MIR. STOKES and see to it
that his scheme is carried out.
1t is a money maker for the county
and all will see it in this light except the
precious few who now live off the county
without much work.
