TIE TELEPHONE LITIGATION.

The patents of the Bell Telephone
Company have expired. yet the COM
pany still holds its monopoly. 1t seems
TO be a plain case of reform needed in
our patent laws.
The federal court decision In the Ber-
liner case holds out promise OF cheap
or telephone service to the people, but
it will doubtless be a considerable time
before we get IL. The Bell Telephone
Company announces its intention to
appeal the case, and no matter how it
goes there must be several years Of de-
lay which mean so many years added to
the Bell Telephone Company's monop-
oly. IL can take the case first
20 the court Of appeals and
afterward to the United States Supreme
Court and in the meantime the public
must continue to pay the monopoly
whatever it chooses to charge, which
means additional millions to it.
It is suggested by the Minneapolis
Tribune that it would be protection
to the public if in such cases the COM
panies utilizing disputed patents could
be made to give bonds for resti-
tuition of all royalties collected
during the pending OF litigation.
If that were the rule, the monopoltsts
would not be so fond Of "lawing." As
is, the company has every advantage,
for every years delay is worth millions
to it.
Il is evident that our patent laws
need radical revision. The application
for the Bsrliner patent was filed in
1877. It's issue was re-lssued and a
suit resulted, but In short time both
sides of this suit fell under the
control of tho Bell Company,
and by collision it was kept in
court for many years for the specific
purpose Of delaying the issue OF the
patent. The object was to wait until
the original patent was about to expire
and then to get q new one which would
would be available for seventeen years
longer. If the decision of the court at
Boston shall be sustained this game will
be blocked, but not until the monopo-
lists have enjoyed several years Of fat
pickings, which the decision shows they
are not fairly entitled to.

The witnesses in the jamestown,
NY, case who claim they saw in the
dead woman's eye a photograph Of such
= man as her murderer is supposed to
be, are perfectly credible aud their tes-
timony on any other point would be &C
eepted, but the scientific investigators
tell them to step down and out Of the
witness box. They simply don't or
won't, believe in any such human testi-
mony.
This is not proof By any means that
the aforesaid witnesses did not see what
they claim to have seen. 1t is, indeed,
accepted, we believe, as fact by science
shat the retina OF the eye retains a last
impression for time after death. In
the present state Of knowledge
on the subject such testimony would
not be fair evidence and would not be
admitted in a court Of law, being too
uncertain and indefinite. But the day
NAV come with the establishment of the
primary fact when such testimony will
not be barred as entirely valueless. It
probably never will be admitted as con-
elusive, but it must be given the weight
which the element of fact in it will IN
doubtedlY entitle it TO.

PARTISAN OPPosITIoN

There is no reason on earth why the
proposed improvement Of our currency
should be made a party question, since
the imperative need of it is universally
recognized. and it is only the blndest
partisan folly on the part Of the Re
publican obstructionists, who think it
good politics to embarrass the admins
tration regardless Of cost, that it has
become so.
They evidently don't like the idea Of
allowing a Democratic Secretary of the
Treasury to reform in one bill the
abuses Of thirty years OF Republican
financial legislation. 1t would be an
object lesson they don't want presented
so the people.
It is unfortunate, under the circum-
stances, that the Democrats do not also
take a partisan view of the matter,
since the opposition will have it so,
and stick together on some
plan to relieve the Treasury and
improve the currency, But they
won't. It's not the Democratic style.
Hence, the compact Republican minor
ity find it easy work to embarrsss the
divided Democratic majority, and they
devote themselves to so doing and to
playing to the galleries, without max
ing any effort to present a solution Of
their own of the pressing financial
problem before Congress-the result Of
bad legislation Of their own party.
With these spurious statesmen it is
ever an effort to make party capital.
They do not seem to think they we're
elected TO legislate for the country.
The country is sick of this kind OF
DOlirics

SEVEN YEARS PUKIFICATIoN.
How to Unite the Mind and the sOul-A
Theosophists Views.

CincinndI Tribune
Claude Falls Wright, of London, Eng,
for several years Nine. Blsvasky's prl-
vate secretary, lectured before the
Theosophical Society in the Lincoln Inn
Building last night. His subject was
"Theosophy and 0ccultism." In sub
stance he said;
Theosophy is system OF philosophy
presented to the age by the seers or
wise men of the East, ana such men
have existed In every age, but rarely
have volunteered to help this race In
the West. That is because, while the
philosophy has been we'll known all the
time. nevertheless America and Europe
were not prepared for 1t. 10 the pres
ent day in India the philosophy exists,
but is not comprehended by the Hin
docs because they have become too ma
terialistic.
'These sages live now in Thibet and
China. Nine. Blavatsky was their
messenger. Theosophy means divine
wisdom, that is, the knowledge OF the
divinity in nature.
"Occultism is the practical study OF
the self The lower occultism deals
with hidden forces in nature. The
higher deals with the souls. The phil
osophy OF Theosophy outlines the po-
sition tie mind should hold. Occult
ism shows how to practically deal with
that. The philosophy defines man as
an animal overshrouded with a soul or
spirit.
THAT soul produces the mind or ego,
but the latter being associated so with
the animal passions cannot comprehend
the soul. By certain practices the mind
can be united to the soul. That Is, by
seven years publication and determin-
ing TO turn the nature upwards.
at takes seven years hard work to
succeed. AT the end there is change
in a minute like the twinkling OF the
eye. and the man becomes Christ But
unless there is no evil thought all that
while, then success does not crown the
efforts, and more and sustained efforts
have TO be made. These are absolute
rules of nature, and have been known
in the East for ages"
A general discussion on the subject
followed, when the lecturer concluded.
Next Thursday evening Mr.. Wright
will speak before the society on Con
centration OF the Mind" He will also
deliver one more lecture Sunday night
next, on which occasion he will dwell
on "The Constitution of Man."

ticus Ct tie Mills bill. They did not
ash for tie 700 increases OF the McKiO-
ley bill-mcst of shsm for the benefit Of
trusts aza n~hopoliss, as the voters be-
lieved."
The two leading Republican papers
of the West, the Tribune and the Ut.
Louis Globe-D-uocrat, are asssiling
tho Mckinley act as vigorously as the
Democrats ever assaulted it. at is very
certain" proclaims the former. "that
the Tribune is not going to help puff
the dead Mckinley bill into living
issue in 1896, adding;
.'There was nothing which happened in
the year following the passage OF the NC
Kinley bill during Harrison's term, AFTER
making allowance for the good crops Oh
some years aud the bad crops Of others, to
indicate that the country was enjoying an
unusual prosperity which could be credited
TO the account of the Mckinley law. IL
was simply an unnecessary, tmpohtlc, IN
wise scheme, which nearly ruined the he
publican party st the elections"
Referring to the Mckinley organs OF
the East, the Tribune declares it pre-
fers to stand their scurrilous abuse AID
malicious invective than to divide the
odium and evil of defeating the party
by forcing it into positions which the
voters condemn and repudiate.
1t is pretty fight that is going on
amongst our friends the enemy,
and is significant OF the fact oft stated
in Democratic newspapers and sneered
at by the Republicans, that Mckinley
ism 10 dead.

WHEAT FREDINs STATISTICS.

Large Amounts Being Fed to stock in
Several states.
CHICAGO, December 24.-The Farm
ers' Review tomorrow will say: Re-
ports have been received by the Review
from correspondents in Illinois, Indi-
ana, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Dakota on the ex-
tent TO which wheat is being fed TO cat
tie. In some parts of Illinois wheat
has been fed largely, especially where
markets are not easily reached, or
where other feed crops are short. In
other parts, however, less has been
fed than in some other States, appar-
emily because no other farm product is
found so salable. So agood many coun-
ties report little or no wheat being fed.
Indiana is feeding probably little
larger portion, and in some counties q
third of the crop will be disposed of In
this way. Ohio is feeding the crop
freely, and 10 localities more wheat than
corn is being fed Over large part Of
the State half of the crop will be mar
keted in the form of live stock, and
there are counties where the proportion
of the crop fed will not be less
than 20 percent. In Mich
igsn the amount fed varies greatly,
some counties feeding none ana others
nearly all of the crop. Reports OF so
and 40 per cent. being fed are quite
common. Kentucky reports large guam
titles being fed. Missouri reports like
condition, Kansas and Nebraska are
feeding very largely, the low price
there making it very economical food.
In some counties in Iowa il Is being
fed largely, even up to half OF the
crop. but 10 other counties 1t is receiv-
ing little attention as feed. In Wis
consin, Minnesota and Dakotas consid-
cradle is being led, but the practice is
far from universal.
