The appointment of committee to in
quire into the whole financial question
and to evolve some substitute for the
Sherman law is suggested by Senator
Morgan, and the idea is receiving the en-
dorsement of the silver men. While in
vestigation is well in many cases it would
do little good here. The financial prob
lens which are before Congress are no
new ones They have been discussed for
a great many years, and they have never
been so definitely and corclusively settled
as to command unanimous acquiescence,
and they probably never will he. A COM
mittee after it had peram bulated the
country would come back with mass
of contradictory testimony and conflict
ing opinions and the questions at issue
would be no nearer settlement than now
Probably the reason the silver men favor
the scheme is because they think it may
be productive Of delay and tend to
postpone action on the Sherman bill.

STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The joint fisheries commission, of
which Professor Rath bun, on the part
of the United States, and Dr. Wakeham,
of the Dominion department of Fisher
les and Marine, with their respective as
sistants, are now devoting their attention
to the waters of the St. Croix, making
minute examinations of dams, fisheries
and distractions or aids to the migration
of fish, from the Ledge to the river S
source at the lakes. United States Fish

The friends sof Attorney General Pills
bury, who are pushing his claims to the
Republican nomination for governor of
Massachusetts,, have found it necessary
to publicly explain that his failure to
conduct the Borden case was not due to
any fear that his connection with it
would prejudice him politically, but was
simply the result of physical weakness
consequent upon.the attack of diphtheria
which nearly proved fatal. The explana-
ton appears to be conclusive and to ac-
quit Mr.. Pillsbury of any intention of
Sinking his duty.

The Grand Army has voted to test in
the courts the legality.ot the suspensions
of pensions which have taken place since
the Hon. Hoke Smith assumed charge
of the Interior Department No body
can find any fault with that If the
legal rights of the pensioner have been
invaded by the scheme of reform which
was.hatched by Mr.. Smith, he has redress
in the courts and is entitled to appeal to
them. By essentially modifying his
first ruling the Secretary has practically
acknowledged that that ruling was not
fair even though it nay have been legal,
but the legality of a ruling that reverses
the presumption that man who is on
the pension rolls is there lawfully is very
doubtful.

The Fish Commissioners have made
satisfactory arrangements concerning
the private hatchery near the klneo
House, Moosehead Lake. Mr.. .Dennen
and his associates of the hotel company,
with the assistance of the Maine Sports-
mems Fish and Game Association, will
put the hatchery in good condition for
use, and the commissioners will furnish
landlocked salmon and trout spawn and
provide a man to take charge of the es-
tablishment. Landlocked salmon once
thrived in Moosehead, but in late years
they have almost disappeared. 1t is now
proposed to stock the lake abundantly
with these fine game fish, and also to
put in plenty of smelts for food.

The investigation of the Chester disas-
ter has not proceeded very far,ssb it has
proceeded far enough to make it pretty
certain that the giving way of the bridge
was due to gross carelessness o rignorance.
It seems to be pretty clearly established
that the bridge had been weakened by
withdrawing great many rivets pre-
paratory to putting in new ones In
view of the fact that the bridge was be-
ing strengthened for fear that it was not
equal to the strain put upon it by the
heavy locomotives and cars it is amazing
that it did not occur to any of the work
men that the temporary weakening of it
might be productive of disaster.

NO BLANKS In THIS COMPETITION.

This is a competition of rather an
unusual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss Of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for
the amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different. Each person is
asked merely to help himself, and the
one who helps himselfto the best ad-
vantage is to be rewarded for doing it.
The prize is only stimulus to do
something that would be .ell worth
doing without it. The architect whose
competitive plan fora club house
on a certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something of very
little use to him. But the person who
patents simple and useful device in
the Press Claims Company's competi-
tion' need not worry if lie fail to secure
the prize. He has substantial result
To show for his work-one that will
command its value in the market at
any time.
The plain man who uses any article
in his daily work ought to know bet
ter how to improve il than the
mechanical expert who studies it only
from the theoretical point of view.
Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth
patenting. The simpler tie better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the
Press Claims Compay's twenty-five
hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be judged from the fact that its
stock is neld by about three hundred
of the leading newspapers OF the
United States.

Comparatively rev peopio regard
themselves as inventors, but almost
everybody has been struck, :at one
time or another, with ideas that seemed
calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions Of life. Usually such are ideas
dismissed without further thought.
"Why don't the railroad company
make its car windows SO that they can
be slid up and down without breaking
the passengers backs?" cXclaims the
traveller. "If were running the road
| would make them in such way"
,'What was the man that made this
saucepan thinking off" grumbles the
cook. Gle never had to work over Il
stove, or he would have known how it
ought to have been fiXed."
"Hang such a collar button!" growls
the man who is late for breakfast of
were in the business I'd make buttons
that wouldn't slip out, or break off, or
gouge out the back OF my neck"
And then the various sufferers for
get about their grievancet and begin
to think of something else. If they
would sit down at the next convenient
opportunity, put their ideas about car
windows, saucepans,a ,and collar buttons
into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves
as independently wealthy as the man,
who invented the iron umbrella ring
or the one who raten, ed. the. fifteen
puzzle.

NOT so HARD AS 1T SEEMS.

A patent strikes most people as an
appallingly formidable thing. The idea
is that an inventor must be natural
genius, like Edison or Bell; that he
must devote years to delying in
complicated mechanical problems and
that he must spend a fortune on
delicate experiments before he can
get new device to patentable de-
gree of perfection. This delusion the
company desires to dispel. 1t desires to
get into the head, of the public clear
comprehension of the fact that it is
not the great, complex, and expensive
inventions that bring the best returns
to their authors, but the little, simple,
and cheap ones-the things that seem
so absurdly trivial that the average
citizen would feel somewhat ashamed
of bringing them to the attention OF
the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has
received from the patents on all his
marvellous inventions have not been
sufficient to pay the cost of his eX-
periments But the man WHO conceived
the idea Of fastening a bit of rubber
cord to cliild.s ball, SO that it would
ccme back to tie hand when thrown
made fortune oat Of his scheme. The
modern sewing machine is . miracle
CT ingeruity-thc product Of the toll
OF hundreds CT busy brains through a
hundred and fifty years, but the whole
brilliant result rests upon tie simple
device of putting the eye Of the needle
at the point instead OF at the other end.
