PATENTS
Notice to Inventors

--
There was never a time in the his
tory of our country when the demand
for Inventions and Improvements in
the arts and sciences generally was so
great as now. The couveniences Of
mankind in the factory and workshop,
the household, on the farm, and in Of
fetal life, require continual accessions
to the appurtenances and implements
Of each in order to save labor, time
and expensel The political change in
the administration of government does
not affect the progress of the Aneri-
can inventor, who being on the alert,
and ready to preceive the existing de-
hclences, does not permit the affairs
Of government to deter him from
quickly conceivlng the remedy to oyer
Gene the existing discrepancies. Too
great care cannot be exercised in
choosing a Competent and skillful at
torney to prepare and prosecute an
application fer patent. Valuable in
terests have been lost and destroyed
In inuumerable instances by the en-
ployment Of incompetent counsel, and
especially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, ne
pay" system. Inventors who intrust
their business to this class OF attorheys
do so at imminent risk, as the breadth
and strength Of the patent is never
considered in view of a quick endeavsr
to get an allowance and obtaip the fee
then due. THE PRESS CLAIMS

Mr.. Catron did not, and that portion
of the brief attacking the indictment
was written by Mr.. Catron and in pre-

The Southern Pacific train crews
are reported to be getsins very handy
with their six-shooters. There have
been reported several instances Of
tramDs being shot in what was called
self defense. There are cases, how
ever, which would be far fetched to
call self defense. Not long ago a
BRAKEMAN and a tramp had a dispute
at Separ which ended in the tramp
speeding across the plain, while the
dust was kicked up arodid his heels
by balls from the angry brakeman's
six-shooter. That the Company does
not make a Practice Of tiring fighting
men is shown by the saBdued action
Of train crews when they are tackled
by express robbers. Why a brakeman
should be any fef6er In protecting the
Southern Pacific road from a tramp
who wants 10 steal a ride than from a
bandit who wants to rob the express
and hsil cars Is a mystery. OF course
1t would be hazardous TO make a gun
play on an express robber and 1t is
comparatively safe to run a blazer on
a tramp. Bearing this ia nina it is
easy to see that afdsh car acquire the
reputation of being a "bsd man with q
gun" very cheaply. The LIBERAL is
glad to know there are comparatively
few Of the train men who seem to be
desireus Of obtaining this reputation,
although there are enough to give
their comrades a hard name.

regrettable instance of gluttony and
some insect, the gypsy moth, is reported from
Maiden. Mass, a central spot of its ravages.
1t will be recalled that this pest was intro
duced into America by misguided zealot In
entomology, who, not content with the informa-
tion he could get of 1t from foreign sources, i'm
ported some specimens. His treasures escaped,
and then tho trouble began. In the last Con-
gress Massachusetts, sought unsuccessfully to
get an appropriation from the Federal Treasury
to aid her in exterminating these moths. q work
which she had been carrying on for several years,
at cost of nearly four hundred thousand dollars.
During the debate, Mr.. LODGE gave some notion
of their rapacity By saying that "they destroy
practically every growing thing, particularly
trees. They destroy all the products of the
truck farm. They destroy corn. They will de-
stroy grass II there is nothing better to take"
However. the Senator's tribute to the impair
tiality of their appetite fell even short of the
facts. Recent experiments show, 1t is said, that
they consume even the arsenic, Paris green. and
London purple with which the bushes and trees
have been sprayed In order to destroy them,
and positively flourish on these condiments
The inference drawn is that such labors OF tho
Massachusetts, Commissioners intrusted with
the task Of exterminating the moths have un-
Willingly been directed to sustaining them.
Congress may be congratulated on not under
taking task which did not belong to 1t, while,
on the other hand, 1t may be hoped that after
those surmises as to what tho gypsy moth
thrivos on, something in the way Of food may
be found which will mako its voracity fatal.

terial one-ffth OF the railway and two-fifths
Of the canal freights are such products.

ceeded $s0,000,000. The value of the exports

So much of Mr.. SHEARMAN's speech at the
prayer meeting is necessary in order to un-
derstand the gentle, dignifed, and truly
Christian reply from Mother RICE" which
we print in another place. This venerable
and noble woman is one of the very few sur
vivors Of the generation OF missionaries
which GoDKIN and SHEARMAN seek to vii
ify. She is known and loved throughout
the Hawaiian Islands, and almost equally
well known among the churches in America
which have watched and helped the progress
Of Christianity and civilization there. She
was early in the field, and for half a century
she has shared the labors and the triumphs
of the men in whose defence she now writes,
at the age of nearly eighty, the most effec-
tive Of replies to these amazing ISLANDERS of
ignorance and wilful Misrepresentation.
Let every honest and fair-minded person
read Mother RICE's letter from Honolulu and
then judge between her and Mr.. THOMAS G.
SHEARMAN; between her and GoDKIN of the
Evening Post. The simplicity, the SINGER
ity, the forbearance, of her rebuke are crush
ing, although not Intentionally SO; for there
is nothing, save kindness, in this good
woman's heart, even for liars We think a
perusal of this letter will cause Mr. SHEAR
MAN to be ashamed of himself That it will
make GoDK1N experience single pang of
shame nobody can expect or hope.

The war waged in London between
WHISTLER. the nrtist, and MOORE, the novelist,
is rather entertaining. The latest report from
the battlefield is that WHISTLER is to paint q
picture of MOORE which will mako him an OBJ
ject of detestation forever, while MOORE, In his
next novel. is to introduce a description Of
WHISTLER which will hold him up to the scorn
of the ages II the novelist does his job well, he
is likely to come out the winner in the war; for
1t is not probable that anybody will ever buy
the picture of MOORE by WHISTLER, while
MooRE's novel about WHISTLER may sell by
hundreds and make him rather rich. WHISTLER
is a smarter man than MOORE, but his weapon
is n poor one compared with his enemy's. 1t
would be better that both men should show up
each other In deathless novels. Besides. each
man can put pictures Of the other one, lots of
them In his novel.

The New Torpedo Boats.

Secretary HERBERT has awarded the con-
tract for all three Of the new torpedo boats
to the Columbian Iron Works, instead of
giving that firm two, and calling upon the
Union Iron Works for a 26-knot boat, at a
higher price, as the first reports indicated
that he would do. The Baltimore bid was
the lowest for three as well as for two boats,
and by accepting it the price is brought
down, we believe, to s97, 800 each, exclu-
sive of armament, instead of S1O3, 900 each
had only two been awarded, and that is GER
tainly a very moderate cost for boats of
about 1873 tons displacement, making a
speed of about "a knots. The Ericsson, of
about 12O tons, and guaranteed to make
that speed, cost Sl13,500. The 26-knot
boat would have been larger and costlier.
But Secretary HERBERT's administration
is not to lose the well-deserved honor of
setting far ahead the speed standard in our
navy. Three other torpedo boats are to be
built, under the recent Naval Appropria-
tion act, and for these the available appro-
priations are much larger 1t is said that.
accordingly, Chief Naval Constructor HIGH
BORN has been directed to prepare plans for
lS0-ton boats, to make 27 knots an hour.
In that case, the reason for the final de-
cision on the three boats just awarded be-
comes clear, and we may look forward to
still better results by little delay.
The contract speed for the fast new British
torpedo boat destroyers, like the Havock.
Hornet, Ferret, Ardent, Daring, and so
on, was ~ knots; and as SONG of
them have greatly surpassed this, SO it may
be with our next series of boats. 1t is true
that boats like the Hornet are Of about ego
tons displacement and that even the sppro-
pration for our new trio is not large enough
to justify expecting a speed like hers But
the ScHIcHAU boat Adler, built years ago,
made ga knots as the mean of four runs
on the measured mile, on about $50 tons

Business Men and Politicians.

One very great advantage to the people
in the present municipal government is
that it will put to the test of actual expert.
ment the much-extolled advantages of an
administration Of the affairs of the city by
so-called business men. Mayor STRONG was
elected as Mayor on the theory that bust
ness man, a dry goods merchant, is presum-
ably and necessarily more competent for
bossing the affairs of this town than a mere
Democratic politician like Mayor GILRoY
or Mayor GRANT.
Mr.. RICHARD CROKER, who is not dis
tinctively business man, except that the
judicious and profitable use of racing horses
requires the exercise of human abilities in
their widest range, had expressed doubts of
the wisdom Of restricting the employment
of political services to men who had no
actual knowledge and experience in their
discharge. The purely ornamental places
in the service Of the city he was ready to
give to distinguished members of the Cham
Der of Commerce, bank Presidents, social
leaders, and the like. but when it came to
offices really requiring hard work and actual
knowledge in the public service, he con-
fessed that he preferred politicians.
Really, this was not an exhibition of de-
plorable political heresy on the part of Mr..
CROKER 1t was merely an indication that
he had profted by his observation of the
past experience of business men in the City
Hall. A better man than the late Mayor
HAvEMEYER could not have been chosen by
the people of New York Mayor OPDYKE
was man of the highest respectability
IN oil pir .;nI -.
Swamp contains no merchant who en-
joys greater esteem than Mayor SMITH
ELY, Jr. In all business circles Mayor
EDWARD COOPER is trusted absolutely
A better man than he does not live in
New York or anywhere else. If we were
asked to point out the man in this COM
munity who rs much as any deserves the
esteem Of his fellow citizens, we should not
hesitate to indicate Mayor ADRIAN S. HEw-
TIT. He is sometimes inaccurate in state
ment, he is always imprudent in politics, but
there is no inhabitant of New York who will
question the soundness of his heart or his
absolute devotion to the welfare of the peo-
pie; though we are sorry that he consented
scheme Of the Chamber of Commerce for
piuuuelihS GHe CiIy iOT tHe DeuellL OIL an
absurd rapid transit scheme.
Mayor STRONG as a business man is there
fore not an unusual experiment for New
York. Perhaps as representative of the
dry goods district purely, he is peculiar in
the City Hall. Mayor HAvEMEYER was in
different line Of trade. Mayor CPDYKE
was dealer in woollen goods before he be-
came a banker Mayor SMITH ELY ,Jr was
notable as leather merchant in the Swamp
Mayor COOPER was distinguished in the iron
and glue industry. Mayor HEWITT is dis
tinguished by his mere personality.
After all, the best Mayors New York has
enjoyed during this generation have been
two men who were not men of business, but
distinctively politicians, Mayor HUGH j.
GRANT and Mayor GILRoY, so valuable
as an administrator. Perhaps, then, Mr..
CROKER was not SO far wrong in his esti-
mate of the qualifications requisite for use
full political service in New York.
