DENVER, Dec. 6-Hon. G. s. Thomas,
national Democratic committeeman
from Colorado, expressed his opin-
ion regarding the presidents mes

affairs the president is Democratic, and
therefore right. His attitude is that Of the
vast body Of his countrymen. On inan.

wrong that none save the Wall street in

ory is that he must be right and, therefore
everybody else must be wrong"

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Dec. 6.-The Amer
lean Federation Of Labor holds its an
nnal convention in New York, commence
ing next Monday, the membership being
from South America. Canada, Mexico and
the United States. There will be proba-
bly, 400 delegates in the convention next
week. The Illinois State Federation will
DO represented by Joseph Ferris, Of this
city. The Illinois Federation has a mem
bership Of about 10000 Among the
moro important questions that will come
up before the convention will be measures
calculated to open moro opportunities for
labor, rather than to regulate the supply.
The Illinois federation in its annual ses-
sion at Peoria instructed Ferris to use his
influence and power to have the national
body take cOgnizance of the matter. The
state federation argues that while there
are three men for two positions the condi-
ton OF the masses can only be improved
when there are two men for three posi-
tiOns. Experience demonstrates that the
army of the unemployed stands in the way
of the successful working of this matter,
who from force Of necessity take the places
Of strikers.

Pixies on Patents.
How to get $|00 and Perhaps
Make a Fortune.

We secure patents and to induce people to
keep track of their bright ideas we offer
prize of one hundred dollars to be paid on
the first of every month to the person who
submits to US the most merltorious invention
during the preceding month. We will also
advertise the Invention free of charge in the

lished in Washington, d. c., which has an
extensive circulation throughout the United
States and is devoted to the interests of in.

Nor so HARD AS IT SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent something
trikes most people as being very difficult;
this delusion the Company wishes to dispel.
1t is the simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount ofmoney and
the complex ones are seldom profitable. AL.
most everybody, at some time or another,
conceiyes an idea, which, if patented, would
probably be worth to HIM fortune. Unfor-
tunatey such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple invention like
the car window which could be easily slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan, the collar button, tho
nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way of improving upon, and it is these kind
of inventions that bring the greatest returns
to the author.
The prize we offer at the end ofeach month
will be paid, whether the application has
been acted upon by the Patent Office or note
Every competitor must apply for patent on
his invention through us, and whether he Sc
cures the prize or not, the inventor will hav
a valuable patent.

WASHINGTON Letter

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON. d. c., September 23rd, 1895.
President Cleveland's position in the
coming national campaign is the subject
oftenest discussed by who are interested
in politics. Everybody has theory as
TO Just what that position is, but, strange
to say, nobody pretends to speak by the
authority of Mr.. Cleveland himself. A
gentleman whose personal and political
association with Mr.. Cleveland is of the
closest nature spoke very Interestingly
on this subject, but under circumstances
which prevents the use of his name,
which would add much weight TO his
words. He said "Few presidents have
allowed their intentions to be r1isrepre'
sentod to the extent that Mr.. Cleyeland's
are being misrepresented today. Nobody
knows this any better than he does. He
isn't scheming for another nomination
from his party, although he would prob
ably accept it if he thought it necessary
to carry out the idea which governs the
most of his official acts. The idea is to
prevent the silver men controlling the
next democratic national convention.
Mr.. Cleveland could, with five words,
put an end to the mention OF his name
in connection with another nomination,
but he has an idea that his name will
aid the antisilver men to control the
convention and for that reason does not
speak them. Whether those words will
be spoken when sufficient number Of
delegates have been elected to make it
certain whether the convention will be
silver or anti-silver, or whether by that
time Mr.. Cleveland will have decided
that his name must 60 before the con-
vention anyway, is at this time a matter
ofdoubt andwill doubtless be determined
largely by circumstances, but whatever
Mr.. Cleveland does you may be sure
that it will be part of his general plan
to keep silver down. He is thoroughly
saturated with the idea that the gold
men of the world regard him as their
special champion, as he also regards
himself
Attorney General Harmon bows
gracefully to the mighty power which
the law gives the Comptroller of the
Treasury, by informing the Secretary
of Agriculture, who had asked an official
opinion Of the Department of Justice
concerning his right to make certain
expenditures, that he had applied to
the wrong shop; that in all matters
concerning the expanding of public
money the Dockery reorganization law
had made the comptroller opinionmore
powerful than that of the Attorney
General of the United States.
The energy and success with which
government officials are running down
filibusters throws very substantial
doabt upon the periodically reiterated
rHmor that the administration is pre-
pairing to recognize the Cubana. In
this world it is nearly always 'like
master like man." IL the administra-
ton did not want these filibusters head

of the heart followed later by sharp pains,
palpitation and weakened pulse, resulting in
fatal heart disease. 1t also causes loss of
vitality.
