COPYRIGHT LAW.
Congressman Treloar Will Introduce a
New One-Authors and publishers
Are Both Unprotected.
From the st. louis Star Sayings.

IDU ~ 90
w. M. Treloar, Republican Con-
gresham elect from the Ninth Mis-
souri, District, who defeated Champ
Clark, one of the Democracy's big
gest guns, last fall, is in st. Louis, n
was hobnobbing with the politicians
at the Laclede Hotel Thursday.
Prof. Treloar, as he is better known,
will make his first trip to Congress
when the regular session opens in
December. He is chiefly interested in
the enactment of a new copyright law,
which is greatly desired by every
publisher and author in the United
States.
''The present copyright law" said
Mr.. Treloar, sis defective, in that it
does not protect the American pub
Usher and author. For instance, every
popular piece of music or book is re-
produced in Canada, ar some other
country, and then shipped to America
and sold at greatly reduced prices.
The present law comes far from pro-
tecting the American copyright, and a
change is greatly desired. The Music
Publishers Association, in particular,
is pushing the matter vigorously. j
had a conference last month with the
publishers of New York and Boston
with regard to the best kind of a bill.
I expect to introduce a suitable bill
early in the session, and / am con-
fdent that it will be enacted"
Speaking of the political situation in
his district, Congressman Treloar said
everything was quiet, and that the
silver agitation was dying out rapidly.
Mr.. Treloar is here to attend the
Fair and Exposition, and will leave
for his home in Mexico, Mo-, Friday.
Many merchants are well aware
that their customers are their best
friends and take pleasure in supplying
them with the best goods obtainable.
As an instance we mention Perry &
Cameron, prominent druggists of
Flushing, Michigan. They say: ave
have no hesitation in recommending
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to our
customers, as it is the best cough
medicine we have ever sold, and al
ways gives satisfaction" For sale at
25 and so cents per bottle by G. A.

A Word With the Popullsts.

- EAOhA - = - -
The Populist party is q poor place
for Democrats. Yet we find here and
there Democrats who say they will
vote the Populist ticket.
Missouri Populists, processing
friendship for free silver and low tar
riff, succeeded last year in electing
to congress a dozen or more Republi-
cans who oppose free silver, tariff re-
form and western interests generally,
In the ninth district Populists cast
enough votes to defeat the eioouen,
and fearless Champ Clark. In the
fourteenth district Marsh Arnold was
berten by Populist votes. Bland.
Morgan. Heard, Ellison and Hatch
would have been congressman to-
day had the Populist not run forlorn
hopes of their own.
The Populist party in Missouri is
assistant Republican. 1t has no ex-
cuse for existence except to erye as
q sideshow for Filley.
