ingenious fraud.
Under the circumstances Of this
case the conduct of the defendant
in rejecting all existing names, and
in coming a new name which con-
veys to the eye and ear so closely an
imitation Of complainant's trade
mark, seems to indicate design to
impose his article upon the public
as that of the complainant, or at
least to obtain the substantial BEN

Neither does the fact that the de-

As an illustration of the economy
of the Republican administration
of Michigan, we quote below from
the Detroit Journal, which surely
is not Democratic source. Read
err, bear in mind that state taxes for
the last two years are higher than
ever before, and yet the treasury is
empty:
Auditor-General Turner came in
from Lansing on Saturday night
with the startling statement that
the state treasury was empty and
must be replenished at once. His
first visit was to the Wayne county
auditors where he demanded a por-
ton of the tax due the state from
this county.
"But it is not due until March, "
was the reply of Auditor Burt, the
only one on deck.
THAT doesn't cut any figure"
was Turner's reply. 1--WE are out
of money and must have it. Wayne
county has helped the state out of
hole before and she will have to
do it again"
This morning the auditors had a
conference, and voted to advance
the state $4,000 on it's share of the
taxes now being collected.

SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT ACT
To Suppress Fraudulent Advertise
ments of Worlds Fair AWards2

Letters from both the Chief of
Awards (on Agricultural at the
Chicago Worlds Fair, Mr.. j. S.
Browning, and the Judge of Awards
on Baking Powders, expose the fall
sity of the claim made in behalf of
a Chicago baking powder that it
received the highest award for leav-
ening power, keeping qualities, pur-
;ty and general excellence.
The Judge Of Awards says that
this claim is false, that no such
award was given to that baking
powder.
Mr.. Browning in his letter al
ready published also shows that
there was no award given to the
Chicago company for the best bak-
ing powder.
It now appears further that the
analyses Of the powders exhibited
showed a baking powder made in
New York altogether the superior
of the Chicago powder in both pur-
ity and strength.
The Government has prohibited
the use for advertising purposes Of
the medals awarded by the Fair. Il
would be great protection to the

The Private Soldier.


Capt. Charles S. Morton, u. S. A.,
who has been in charge of the re-
cruiting station at Milwaukee some
time, is at the Ebbitt and will soon
leave for Fort Sill, in the Indian
Territory.
"There never was a time," said
the captain, when so many men
applied for enlistment in the army.
Hundreds have tried to get in and
been rejected because there was no
need of them. The result has been
that we have been able to pick the
very best men, and only first class
material stood any show of entering
the service. Applicants who could
not pass a strict physical examina-
ton and whose moral characters
were unsatisfactory were turned
down. Men who wanted to re-en-
list were, of course, given the pre-
ference. as there is every advantage
in taking a man who has been test
ed and who desires to continue in
the army to accepting raw recruits.
The cutting down of the enlisting
period from five to three years has
been of marked advantage. The
common soldier of the United State>
is a distinctly higher grade man
than he was some years ago. His
environment has changed for the
better. Though his pay is the same
all the conditions of his existence
are improved, and, really, though
the life is somewhat monotonous.
there is little of hardship in it, and
there is always chance for promo
ton. w ashington Post.

The Education of the Blind.

The Midland Republican of Dec.
7, says:
Samples of cookies and biscuit.
made by girls totally blind, can be
seen at the Republican Office. These
samples are from some that were
taken Tuesday from the school for
the Blind Cat Lansing) to Adrian
for exhibition in connection with
the convention there of the State
Board Of Corrections and Charities.
A hammock and various samples of
needle work made by the children
at the school, were exhibited, also
"A book of raised point letter
{ Braille) which was stereotyped and
printed at the school, and best of
all, four of the children were there.
two girls and two boys, who read
from the books and the stereotypes
with their fingers, played the piano,
sang, wrote Braille from dictation,
gave recitations, etc, arousing great
interest in those who saw and heard
them. They were under the i'm
mediate care of Supt. Church and a
lady teacher, and remained through
the entire convention, also visiting
the industrial Home for girls. The
children enjoyed the change from
school routine immensely and sat
with great patience through the
long sessions, IN which some most
valuable papers and discussions were
given.
Hon. L. G. Storrs. Secretary of
the State Board of Corrections and
Charities, says that the school for
the Blind was never in better con-
dition than now.
This school is state institution
and is located at Lansing. Blind
children are boarded and taught free
of charge. Further information
may be obtained by addressing the
Superintendent of the School for
the Blind, Lansing, Mich.
Any person knowing of II blind
child, or one so nearly blind as to be
unable to learn in the public schools
should encourage the parents or
guardian to have such child sent to
the school at Lansing.

Cottolene Trademark,

An important and interesting
trademark suit. which has been be.
fore the courts for some time, has
recently reached decision in the
United States Circuit Court for the
southern district of New York.
Judge Townsend presiding. The
evidence shows that the word Got
toleo" is not formed in accordance
with any established rules for the
formation of new word. Colt is
merely suggestive of cotton oil. II
does not describe it, and oleo NAV
describe or refer to oleomargarine,
as well as to oleostearine, or to other
oils. Oleo is ordinarily used as a
suffix, and it is shown to be the
rule in coming compound words
that the name of the more import
ant article is placed last.
There were various other words
in common use in describing the
product when the defendant coined
the word. 1t does not, therefore,
come within the principle of those
cases where there is only a single
name to designate thenew article, or
where the new name is used mere
ly as descriptive of the article.
Defendants theory that where a
suggestive trademark has been
adopted, another desiring to obtain
the benefit of the trademark. may
coin a word not already in the ing
uage and not made according to the
regular rules for coming new words,
yet sufficiently indicative of the
quality and character of the article
to be invalid as q trademark and
sufficiently like the trademark in

public if the Government would
also prohibit the publication Of false
claims such as those that have been
exposed in relation to such awards.
The only official competitive test
of national character, from which
consumers can obtain the actual
facts as to the relative values of all
the principal brands of baking pow
ders of the country, is that made by
the Agricultural Department at
Washington, d. c. II so happens
that this was conducted by the same
eminent chemist who acted as Judge
of Awards at the Chicago Column
bian Fair. As has already been
published at this examination, the
Royal Baking Powder was found to
be the superior and highest in leav-
ening strength.

Professor Albert Bushnell Hart, Of
Harvard, has written for the January
number Of The Forum very thoughtful
and timely article entitled Are Our Nor
al Standards Shifting?" Among the in
eIesting and significant changes of pub
lie standard to which he calls attention
are: the growing Impotence with legal
and constitutional methods OF bringing
about change Of laws, whereby unpopu-
lar statutes are practically abrogated by
ignoring them; the disposition of public
officers to draw their salary and leave
their duty to be performed by deputies;
lack OF effective public sentiment against
pension frauds; the state Of public mind
with regard to the relations OF employer
and employees growing discomfort with
corporations; and the deplorable change
OF the public conscience with regard to
crimes, and violence accompanying
strikes, by which the criminal Ia given O

Submarine Cables.

There are now twelve transatlan-
tic cables connecting Europe with
Canada and the United States, and
steps have been taken to lay cable
across the Pacific. from British
Columbia to Australia by way of
the Fiji islands. The circle of the
earth will then be completed, but
not 80 directly as would be by cable
from America to Japan.
There are now $4,000 miles of
submarine cable, in round numbers,
of which 10 per cent have been sup
piled by various governments and
the rest by private enterprise. They
connect into one system over 2,OOO,-
600 miles of land wires, ramifying
in different countries. The cables
have cost about S4O,000,000 sterl-
ing, but the money has been well
spent, for the benefits of the tele-
graph are incalculable.
It controls the commerce of the
world, which has risen to nearly a.
600, 100000 sterling a year, or more
precisely 81 $40, 100000 sterling of
exports and 81 ,720,000,000 sterling
of imports. 1t enables information
al disputes to be settled without re-
course to arms, as in 1881, when the
British cabinet was in direct COM
munication with the Boer leaders of
the Transvaal. 1t brings a war
that has broken out to a speedy con-
clusion, and keeps the public in
formed as to its hourly progress, as
in the case of Egypt, where the
bombardment of Alexandria was
known in London few minutes af-
ter the first shot was fired, and tele-
grams were dispatched from the bat
tlefeld of Suakim, in the eastern
Soudan, while the fight was going
on.
Above all, by putting the remot-
est parts of the world in contact
with each other, it tends to destroy
barriers of isolation and prejudice

pathy and hatred to loving kind

Call in the Legal Tender Notes.

As long as the present condition
of the currency shall exist, with the
government borrowing gold to re-
deem its notes and re-issuing the
notes and redeeming them again
whenever there may be demand
for gold at home or abroad, the
banks can continue to pursue their
present policy--which amounts to
a suspension of gold payment-and
the treasury can only defend itself
by further borrowing.
There is only one honorable and
safe way out of this coil. That is
to fund the floating debt, and call
in the greenbacks and treasury
notes and destroy them. Any other
course is to make slow progress
toward partial reputation and such
commercial and Industrial revulsion
as would be involved in a failure of
the public crsdit.--Philadelphia

Fair Award.

John Boyd Thacher is laconic
and decisive in his statements
During the lively campaign just
closed In New York, this marked him
especially as chairman of the DEM
ocratic State Committee. 1t was
equally true of him as chairman of
the Executive Com mittee on Awards
at the Worlds Fair. This is the
positive and sententious way in
which he verifes in an official letter,
the honors won by DR.. Prices Bak-
ing Powder: 81 herewith enclose
you an official copy of your award,
which in due time will be inscribed
in the diploma and forwa ded. y
Thus the question respecting the
award, raised by an envlous New
York rival, is settled beyond cavil.
This same rival by the way is wide
ly advertising an award for itself.
The official records prove this claim
wholly false as they show the New
York pretender was not so much as
an exhibitor at the Worlds Fair.
