Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1893-08-25

Tore the election Mr.. Cleveland express
| ed to his friends his qualification. an,
after the election he sent TO M. frol,
Albany in writing his compliments Ill.
tnankS.
My special justification, if l needed
any, was to be found in the unworth,
opposition to Mr.. Cleveland on the par
OF certain Catholics because of his
manly and truly American attitude to
| ward certain measures when he was
governor OF the state of New York
one OF these measures was for ar
appropriation of $4,000 to the Catholic
protectory il Westchester county
which passed both houses and was We
toed by Nh. Cleveland. In the mem
orandum accompanying the veto Mr.
cleveland said: That apart from the
doubtful constitutionality of the meas
ufe ne felt that the appropriation was
hardly tit one since the charity to be
benefited was purely local one and il
no sense general to the state More
over, he was assured that the institu
ton was bountifully supplied by the
city and county Of New York.
L felt it my duty not merely as 8
citizen, but particularly as Catholic
and priest, to rebuke the unworthy
effort on the part of some of the basel
New York politicians to satisfy their
private ends by dragging religious pre-
JUDGES into the political arena. They
appealed in order to satisfy their srud
geS against a man who would not be
sufficiently SubServient to them. [ felt
as l still feel that it would be IN un
speakable calamity for the best inter.
ests Of our country if our politics
should be controlled by religious and
race prejudices- 1 felt and feel with
equal conviction the danger in all this
to the best interests of the Catholic re.
ligion and all religion.
The anonymous writer complains of
me because as an American citizen,
who never abdicated his citizenship
when he became a priest, should hold
himself free after the partial righting
OF the wrong that had been done to
him, to address his fellow-men upon
political and economical subjects of
common interest to all. Surely, it is toe
late in the day to assert or imply that
am teaching political or economical
doctrines at variance with religion, and
especially with the Catholic religion,
since the apostolic delegate and four
learned theologians have found in my
doctrines nothing contrary to the
teaching of the Catholic religion. Since
the holy father himself, Pope Leo
XVII, satisfied with the decree of his
delegate which preceded my restora-
ton, cheerfully confirmed the already
completed act of my reconciliation.

Are XOul Ambitious?

Especially, are you a woman anxious to
make a career for yourself? Then you will
be more than interested in '"The Road to
Fame or Fortune" published in Demorest's
Family Magazine for December, which is a
faithful chronicle of how ambitious girls de-
sirous of becoming successful business women
live and labor in New York, giving sugges-
tions and valuable information that cannot
fail to be of inestimable benefit to all talented
and ambitious girls. And this is an ideal
Christmas number, also. The lovely water
color "Did Santa Claus Bring You ?" will APP
peal to eveyone, young and old. Christmas
Eve at Bethlehem" with it's numerous Illus

hundred who are competitors for the "Baby
Prize" offered by this magazine. Indeed, the

NOTICE TO
ILLINOIS.

There was never a time in the history OF
our country when the demand for inventions
and Improvements in the arts and sciences
generally was so great as now. The cOnven,
fences of mankind in the factory and work,
shop, the household, on the farm, and in
official life, require continual accessions to the
appurtenances and implements of each in
order to save labor, time and expense. The
political change in the administration of gov
eminent does not affect the progress of the
American inventor, who being on the alert,
and ready to perceive the existing deficien,
cies, does not permit the affairs of govern
ment to deter hin from quickly conceiving
the remedy to overcome existing discrepan-
cies. Too great care cannot be exercised in
choosing q competent and skillful attorney to
prepare and prosecute an application for
patent. Valuable interests AVE been lost
and destroyed in innumerable instances by
the employment of incompetent counsel, and
especially is this advice applicable to those
who adopt the "No patent, no pay system.
Inventors who intrust their business to this
class of attorneys do so at an imminent risk,
as the breadth and strength of the patent is
never considered in view of a quick endeav0r
to get an allowance and obtain the fee then
due. The Press Claims Company, John We'd
derburn, General Manager, 6lS f street, N.
W., Washington, D. c., representing a large
number of important daily and weekly papers,
as well as general periodicals of the country,
was instituted to protect Its patrons from the
unsafe methods heretofore employed in this
line of business. The said Company is pre-
pared to take charge of all patent business
entrusted to it for reasonable fees, and pre-
pares and prosecutes applications generally.
including mechanical inventions, design pat
ents, trademarks, labels, copyrights, inter
f~erences, in~fringements, validity reports, and
gives especial attention to rejected eases, 1t

No Blanks I'm This Competition.

This is q 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 Compauy's offer is something different.
Each person is asked merely to help himself,
and the one who he ps himself to the best add
vantage is to be rewarded for doing it. The
prize is only a stimulus to do something, that
would be well worth diving without it, Tie.
architect whose rampetitive plan for a cIni,
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 a simple
and useful device in the Press Claims Com
pany's competitions, need not worry if he fail
to secure the prize. He has a substantial re-
suit to show for his work-one that will COM
mand its value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to i'm.
prove it 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 the better. The person who best
succeeds in combining simplicity and popular
ity, will get the Press Claims Company's
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading newspa-
pers of the United States.

EDITOR COURIER:
The cotton harvest ip1, this part of the
country has about come u @ close. The fair
weather which has preva led all along since
picking commenced has enabled the farmers
to do good and steady work. So much So,
to-day the crop of 1893, is harvested, ginned
planter in this country that is holding any
cotton-he is able to do so-the majority have
sold their cotton, and at prices not at all en-
couraging to them. 1t was strongly urged
by those who favored the repeal of the Sher-
man bill and its final repeal that the price
of cotton would improve, but it has not and
will not for months to come.
The tariff reformers are in the way now.
Manufacturer are fighting shy, taking very
little raw material. Should cuts now being
made by the tariff reformers go too deep,
mills may be forced to close or in a manner
so, then the bottom will be knocked from
under the fleecy staple, prices will 60 down
and down to a gold appreciated standard.
But the late Republican victory may have a
tendency to check the Free Trade reformers
and leave matters more at an equilibrium, by
that means save the principal southern ill.,
dustries-sugar and cotton.
You will have to pardon me for injecting
so much tariff talk into this letter, but the
tendency of the times, the misgiving and
feeling of unrest clearly proves that a great
change has been wrought in this land by the
force of England's Free Trade principles,
hence can't see otherwise than we do.
The cane growers in this locality have sue
ceeded we'll thus far this year, and have
mad money.
The farmers on Elm Bayou have done ex-
ceedingly we'll this season, their corn and cot
ton crops were excellent, and will make meat
to do them.
Mr.. VIM. Nelson of Cocodrie had a narrow
escape last week, his gin caught on fire by
a master effort Mr.. Nelson with the help at
hand checked the flames and saved his gin,
but had his left arm seriously burned.
The yield of cane this year per acre on the
Bout is something phenomenal, running
along at 30 and 10 tons, nothing like it for
years.
Mr.. JAS. Ii. Kennedy, Engineer on the Poca-
hontas plantation and refinery, 1.-THE old Star
plantationl informed me a few days past that
the crop of plant cane on that place would
average 33 tons per acre. The indications
from all points are of the best. With the
splendid weather we have had plantation
work has made rapid progress. Cane growers
highly pleased with results.
Yours, ILLINOIS.

to fail. If given freely as soon as the croupy
cough appears it will prevent the attack. It

points them. There is no danger in giving
this Remedy in large and frequent doses, as
it contains nothing injurious. so cent bottles

than any plaster. When the Lungs are sore
such an application on the chest and another

will often prevent pneumonia. There is moth
