NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.

The idea of being able to invent something strikes
most people as being very difficult; this delusion the
Company Will dispel. 1t desires to get into the head Of
the public the fact that the things which seem so absurly
trivial that the average citizen would feel ashamed to
bring them to the attention of the Patent Office are the
most valuable. 1t is the simple things and small inven.
tons that make the greatest money, and the complex ones
are seldom profitable. Almost everybody at some time
or another conceivcs IN idea which II patented would be
worth a fortune. Unfortunately such ideas are usually
dismissed without thought. The simple inventions Ike
the car-window which could be easily slid up and down
without breaking the passengers back, the saucepan
collar-button, nutlock, bottle-stopper suspender-button,
hook, buckle, and snow-shovel are things that every on.
sees some way of improving upon, and it is such simple
inventions that bring the greatest returns to the author

tween respectable Washington and the vice
that finds expression In threats and worse
than threats against those whose duty 1t
Is to preserve the peace and uphold the
law. While Sergeant Daley cannot be
otherwise than at least inwardly disturbed
over the designs Of those to whose progress
in crime he is an obstacle, he must feel
complimented because Of his being singled
out as the one whose death would be of
most Importance to the men and women
who should today be within the walls Of
penitentiaries. The attention of Gov.
O'Ferrall has repeatedly been called to the
fact that at jackson City and Rosslyn and
thereabouts there have for many months
past been congregated some Of the vilest
elements that trouble reputable society to-
day. Were those places within the control
of the District authorities they would be
purified in less than twenty-four hours,
but being on the sacred soil of the proudest
Of states the carnival of trangression con-
tinues unhindered. When will Virginia
awake to realizing sense of her tacit

Evening star., 1895-04-22

There is every appearance of truth in the
confession of criminal, now a prisoner in
this city, to the effect that a combination
of Jackson City habtues and the desperate
element among the unlawful sellers of
liquor in this city had plotted to bring
about the assassination Of Sergeant Daley,
one of the most active and efficient men,
bers of the Metropolitan Police Force.
People who are conversant with the shady
side of current history in the District of
Columbia know how much Sergeant Daley
is hated and feared by the lawless. and
especially by those who are engaged in the
creation and encouragement of vice by the
surreptitious selling of intoxicants; it is
matter of record how the sergeant has sue
cessfully pursued. without fear or favor,
all such offenders. His removal would
therefore be, from the standpoint of the
criminal, a most desirable happening and
with Jackson City as a rendezvous for
dangerous conspirators, 1t was not unnat-

Senior Dupuy De LONE, Spain's principal
diplomatic representative to the United
States, is opening up new chapter in his
career in very undiplomatic way. Senor
De LONE is in Havana, where for the pres
ent he Is engaged in doing what he can
to assist the Spanish authorities in quelling
the revolution now in progress. The most
Lotable of Senior De Lome's achievements
in Cuba is an Interview mainly as to the
American press; an interview in which
Senor De LONE sows wind enough to guar
antee him reasonably large whirlwind
when the season for reaping arrives. This
Castilian grandee declares the American
newspaper to be sensational and gossipy
by temperament and custom, and so in
consistent that it cannot be taken in earn
est; furthermore. it does not express the
opinion of the government. 1t is the latter
weakness that causes Senior De LONE so
much anguish and impels him to utter
ances that in the near future may disturb
rim considerably. Apology by an Ameri-
can newspaper for the inability or lack of
desire by the American press to represent
the government of the United States would
be somewhat unseemly-The Star sincerely
trusts that Senor De LONE will not insist
upon ft-but it Is entirely proper to briefly
call attention to the difference between the
American press and the press which Senior
De LONE doubtless regards as ideal, as to
tEis very important particular 1t is un-
deubtedly true that the Spanish press re-
meets the opinions of the Spanish govern
ment. This Is not always so because it is
tne desire of the press; it is very frequently
the result OF governmental action of sort
"hich world, in this country. be termed
marsh. and that might easily result in revo-
lutionary proceedings. In the United States
there is none of this. nor is there likely to
be any of it, even though its absence
should cause Senior De LONE and those
who may sympathize with him much an
xiety and many uneasy periods of what
might otherwise be delightful existence.

The Investigation now running its off,
cial course at the District building relative
to the right of the Belt Line Company to
use the public streets as a stable appears
to be progressing. This morning the gen.
erai superintendent Of the road, accom-
panied by his counsel. was granted the
privilege of giving his version Of the case
behind closed doors in the presence Of the
Mystic Three. Taxpayers and complain
ing citizens were for awhile, and reporters
were entirely excluded from this hearing
at which 1t Is presumed the case of the
railroad company in all its intricacy of de-
tail and ingenuity of argument was cIev-
erly presented. The accommodating police
force kindly postponed the court proceed
ings. which had been set for this morn
ing, In order to allow the superintendent
(who by the way had at his own request
not been served with a warranty to keep
his engagement with the District Commits
sioners. Offenders against the public rights
AMI against the laws of the community
are seldom treated with this consideration
and Mr.. Schoepf should CT hgratulate him
self upon holding 80 high a rank. in the
corporate world as to receive such extraor-
dIary favors.
Hearings given by the Commissioners to
corporations accused by citizens of infring-
ing upon public and private rights are
public in their nature, the people are en-
titled to be fully informed concerning every
detail of such proceedings, and the Com
missoners fall into a serious blunder in
excluding the press and public from what
have heretofore been open-and-above-board
proceedings, converting them into the
secret sessions of a star-chamber.

From the Philadeiphia Ledger.

The Presidents financial letter has al
ready had the good effect of arousing the

active in support of their doctrine as the
advocates Of free and unlimited silver COIN
age have recently been upholding theirs.
Besides having that excellent result, it has
most vital questions Of the day, inaugural
ing campaign of education" which can
not fail to have gratifying consequences.
To this campaign Secretary Morton's state
ments of the clear and determined none
tary policy of the administration is an ex-
ceedingly valuable contribution. There ia
no other question which so affects the well
fare of the entire country; none which so
greatly requires that the proper answer
shall be given 1t.

The ability and energy which have been
SO strongly in evidence in the career Of
Mr.. Kohlsaat make it certain that his most
recent journalistic venture-the purchase
of the Chicago Times-Herald and the Chi
cago Evening Post-will be in every respect
successful. Chicago has many busy men in
its midst, but those who would travel ahead
of Editor Kohlsaat must needs move with
remarkable rapidity; he possesses all the
qualities that are necessary to the con-
struction of an American man of affairs.

The .washingtonv Ball Club.


Out of the Quaker city, where the grass
grows meath your feet,
Where yesterday seems like the future, so
slow do their pulses beat;
Where the trolley spiders spin their webs
to shut out the shining sun,
Came base ball club, and-here lies the
rub-they christened it Washington -
They come with a flourish of trumpets;
their wagons parade the street,
And the gamns gaze as they go their ways
to unvarying defeat.
Oh, why leave Philadelphia. where they d
smile when you slowly run?
A losing score that stands twelve to four is
a libel on Washington.
A glorious dream is base ball team, and
the public will never fail;
But there's little charm in baby farm
where players are raised for sale.
And the rooters sigh as the hours go by,
Its bad enough to be done
BY gentle f1im-fiam; but why, oh, why,
should they christen you Washing

All the spars of the cup defender
arrived from Boston Saturday afternoon.
The mast Is about one hundred and ten
feet In length. The rest OF the spars con-
sist of gaff topmast, boom, bowsprit,
jack yard, topsail yards and several spare
yards. The mast Is OF immense size and
IL seems almost impossible for a vessel of
the Defenders dimensions TO carry it. IL
is the largest lower mast they have ever
used, it being considerable larger than
that OF Vigilant or Colonia. The lighter
spars are being removed to the works to-
day by craymen, but the mast will
probably be fioated TO the works.
The work on the boat is being pu he'd
