Patent ONCE Policy of Infamy.


Another telephone patent, the application
for which had been lying in the patent of
flee for many years, has just been issued.
In this case the application was filed four
teen years ago. applications may be kept
alive" explains an employe of the patent
office, "by amending them every two years,
until the applicant concludes to take out
his patent" In this case the issue OF other
important patents has been delayed for
ordeg d hat the e. peeunIaTY interests poFf of some ne
powerful corporation might be promoted.
The granting OF the Berliner patent was
thus postponed for fourteen years, although
the government asserts that in this in
stance the slight precaution of amending
or taking some other action was neglected
years, an omission which the patent office
kindly consented to overlook. The atten-
rected to this highly Objectionable practice
of delaying issues, by commissioners and
others, who have suggested remedial leg
islatlOn, but the suggestions have been
made In vain.

TIE BR1zILIAN REprBLtC.

The Brazilian minister at Washington has
received official information Of the result OF
the first general election under the constitu-
tion Of the United States Of Brazil, which
was proclaimed three years ago. When the
provisional government was formed Marshal
da Fonseca was at it's head and he was sub
sequently confirmed as president by the
constitutional congress, General PeiXoto be-
ing at the same time made vice president.
The former was forced to resign within
few months after his confirmation and was
succeeded by Peixoto, whose political methods
we're the ostensible ground of the insurrec-
tion against the government which now
seems to be nearing the end
The man whom the voters of Brazil have
elected to the presidency is DR.. Prudempte
da Moraes, president of the Brazilian senate,
of experience in public affairs, and an
earnest supporter of the republican system,
with the establishment Of which he had much
to do. He is distinctly a civilian, with no
taint of miltarism, and it is said of him that
IL there is any one in Brazil who really be-
lieyes in a republic or has a clear idea of
what a republic means it is he. 1t appears
legality of the election, but the Brazilian
minister shows that there is no ground for
this view, with regard to the election of
either president or congressman. He eX-
plains that the elections were not held, as
claimed, under martial law, but were en-
tirey free from government pressure. Da
Cana, it appears is willing to accept the
election of president, but objects to the
election of congressman as not having been
legal although both were held at the same
time This is an attitude not likely to COM
mend the leader of the insurrection to
fair-minded men in Brazil as one who de-
sires the peace and welfare of his country
and will not, it is safe to assume, gain him
any new supporters.
However, the indications appear to be that
the insurrection cannot last much longer, and
with it's termination will doubtless close the
public careers of the men who are respon-
sible for it. The election of DR. da Moraes
demonstrates the popular desire for con-
stitutional form of government. and this
the leaders of the insurrection have de-
clared is all that they desire. The high
character of the distinguished citizen chosen
to the presidency warrants the ex-
pectation that he will follow strictly the
lines marked out by the constitution and
will do all in his power to perpetuate the
republic and to promote the prosperity of
the country. Perhaps after all the insur-
rection will have done some good in bring
ing the people of Brazil to a clearer ap-
prehension Of the advantages of relying
upon constitutional methods for the remedy
of political abuses. The southern republic
has the best wishes of the American people
for it's peaceful progress. 1t is country
of splendid resources and capabilities, to
tho development of which wise and orderly
government is essential. There is now
favorable promise that it will secure this.

WINTER FISHING.
Outing for March.

Outing for March.
Away from the desk! Away from the mart!
To the frozen cove from the fetid room
Where the bracing nerves and the bounding
heart
Shall paint the cheeks a ruddier bloom.
Come weld the chisel each hole to pierce,
Then set the line with cunning fine
Lo! here your guerdon-a pckerel fierce,
Or giant perch on the speeding line!
OF klink! klinlS! Ilink! the chisel rings,
And the ice chips twinkle and flash
and fY.
And loud and glad the fisher sings
In the bright sunshine of an azure sky.
Ho! Sing of your trout in the spring be-
When birds are mating and leaves are
green
Hoi sing of your bass in glowing rhymes
When autumn shines in her golden sheen!
But give me winter morn and ice
on the frozen cove foot or more,
And pike and perch that our lures entice
To the holes we cut near the shelving
shore;
And klnk! klnk! klink! the Chisel rings.
And ice chips twinkle and flash and fly,
And loud and glad the fisher sings
In the bright sunshine of an azure sky.

According to the usually we'll informed
Washington correspondent Of the New York
Journal OF Commerce there is good pros
pect of some substantial results from the
opposition Of democratic senator's to certain
radical features Of the tariff bill. Senator
Hill has been particularly active in demand
ing that the interests OF his constituents
shall receive some consideration, and is
said to have given assurance to those most
concerned that he will secure some radical
changes. The substitution OF ad valorem
for specific duties in the few cases where the
latter were retained by the house has en-
countered his determined opposition. OF
course his colleague from New York is with
Senator Hill in the opposition to the radical
amendments of the senate finance commit
tee, or the members of 1t charged with re-
vising the Wilson bill, and probably also
Brice of Ohio and the Maryland senators.
AS to the expressed apprehension that the
finance committee will not pay much at
tention to the requests of the conservative
senator's, the correspondent of the Journal of
Commerce observes that the combination of
the eastern senators and those from the sugar
states is TOO strong TO be ueIeateu So iOhS
as the members stand together. There has
been fear among the opponents of the
amendments that party discipline would
force a majority to vote for any bill which
might finally be put upon its passage, but
the declarations that the proposed amend
ments would undermine the democratic
party in New York, New Jersey and New
England, and even shake its hold on Mary
land, seems to be having a marked effect
upon the senators from these states, and
they will resist some of the committee
amendments to the end il the committee
does not abandon them when it finally re-
ports the bill 1t is easy to understand
why Senator Hill should feel very strongly
in this matter, for his political ambition is
not limited to a term in the United States
senate, but he will have no chance beyond
that if New York is held by the republicans
during the next two years, as it certainly
will be If the proposed tariff bill becomes
law.

Tobe Castor claims to have gone to
Washington expressly for the purpose of
getting DR.. Miller appointed to the vacancy
on the Interstate Commerce commission
caused by the death of Judge McDill. This
report has the elements of truthfulness
which are lacking very often in the reper-
toire of the Burlington railroad right-of-way
man. Dr. Miller's selection would doubt
less be eminently satisfactory to the rail-
road wing of the Nebraska democracy, but
the men who pay the freight would prefer
to see Dr. Miller in some position more
fitted to his training and natural bent Dr.
Miller would have made an excellent cabinet
officer or foreign minister, but he is scarcely
fitted for a position that requires a man of
legal training and endowed with judicial
mind. DR.. Miller has, moreover, been a
pronounced opponent of railway regulation
in any form and the, interstate commerce
law in particular. 1t certainly would be
improper to place a man in position to do
a thing which he believes to be improper
and detrimental to the public welfare. Ne
braska is by rights entitled to a member of
this commission, but the man for the posi-
tion should be lawyer of known ability
who is free from subserviency to railroad
corporations. We have a number of such
lawyers in Omaha and other cities. If Mr.
Morton's man Friday really has the influence
to get the appointment he will have no diff
Guilty in finding man qualified for the place
If the railroads are to have the naming of
the man they might as well take Peter E.
Dey of Iowa, who is a railroad engineer by
profession and has been one of the railway
commissioners of Iowa for many years.

Another verdict for damages has been

When the democrats Of Nebraska are con-

mention the number of populist votes Sc
duced by democrats in this state in the last

A FAULTY DOLLAR.
A Badly Made Coin That Escaped the
Eagle Eye of the Department Clerk.

1t is a rare thing, in fact. extremely
rare. that one of Uncle Sans money fac
tories turns out faulty coin, yet there
seems no doubt that this is the case with
silver dollar which is now in the possess
sion of Clerk Bait at the De Soto hotel
The coin is of this years mintage and
TO all appearances is just out. Its two
faces have been stamped all right and
the fault consists in the milling, which is
peculiar. Just half the thickness of the
coin has been milled, while the other
half of the rim is as smooth as any sill
Yer disk would be before it goes through
the milling process. Just a little more
silver. therefore, has been left on this
coin than is found on the ordinary DOL
lar.
The coin was received by the hotel
from one of the banks in package con-
tanning twenty silver dollars, and as the
coins are usually received when new
from the minis by the banks, there can be
little doubt about this coin having left
the mint in a faulty condition. If the
error could be traced back to the en-
ploye who is responsible for the faulty
coin getting into circulation, substitute
would no doubt be found for him. With
a rare exception every coin that goes from
the mint is carefully weighed and tested
before it is sent out, and in this way it is
a hard matter for faulty piece to get
into circulation, but this time the close
inspection seems to have been over
