fcoi.shasss of the Senators from the
 Miniug Camps.

Mhnlu& NdmRss
 It has pleased n majority of senators 10 make show of their foolishness. It is commonly supposed that "horse sense" is a quality largely developed In new states and mining camps, but not q solitary one of the senators who have spent a month over the silver bill has the slightest notion that it can possibly pass. They are perfectly aware that it will not even be consid- ned i'll the house, as it is an imperti- nent alteration of measure passed by the latter body in response to the presidents urgent appeal for power to meet thc necessities of the treas ury. It is likely that some of the sen aters who voted for silver coinage in place of a bond bill did so because they were opposed to any more issues of bonds or borrowing of money while the treasury confesses a monthly def icit, but if there are such senators it would have been more manly and more sensible to vote against the bond bill without taking months time to fasten upon it a coinage bill which they knew neither the house nor the president will approve.
 But it seems to be q condition on which senators from silver states get office that at least once in each con- gress. whether with the slightest prac- tical reason or without any, they should make loud noise for free silver and pass a free coinage bill if they can. It is a pity for constituents to have such senators, or else it is a pity for senators to have such constituents, be- cause no good whatever, but some harm, is done by this biennial exhibi- tion. If there were any chance that free coinage bill might become a law, the recurring effort would receive and be entitled to more respectful atten- tion, as an honest, if mistaken, en- deayor to meet wishes of constituents. When it is made repeatedly without even the pretense of hope that a bill can be passed, the effort has tendency to disgust and even to affront many who have been we'll inclined toward bimetallic views.
 This vote ought to be regarded by the financial world as bit of sheer silli- ness, which can have no influence upon the welfare, the good faith or thefuture policy of the nation. The difficulty is that all men are not intelligent enough to understand it thus thoroughly. In foreign countries. it is probable, there will be found not a few competent in- vestors and capitalists who will look upon this action of the senate as only new disclosure of the downward tendency of public opinion in this country Such men will be apt to for get that the senate has voted more than once in the same way, and with the same entire want of practical re- suit. Necessarily the influence upon the public credit must be injurious to some extent, and it is possible that it may result during the coming months in some further outgo of gold.-N. !. Tribune

Decision in Favor of the De Long Hook
 and Eve

Judge Acheson, in the United States Circuit Court at Pittsburgh, has just rendered, in the case of Richardson & BeLong Brothers vs. Campbell & Smith, an important decision of great interest, sustaining letters patent owned by Richardson & De Long Brothers, which were granted to Frank E. De Long for bumped hook and eye, and enioining the defendants from selling the .sGolden Spring" hooks and eyes.
 The hooks dealt in by the defendants were manufactured by the Golden Spring Hook and Eye Company, of Springfield, Mass. In these hooks the positions of the straight and curved portions of the De Long loop were re- yeTsed. The Court held that this did not void infringement, and directed a decree to be entered for the plaintiffs.
 The case, which was test one of great importance, was contested at great length, and has been pending for almost two years.
 Messrs. Richardson 6 De Long Broth CTS were represented by Messrs. Straw bridge & Taylor, Bradbury Bedell, and John G. Johnson, of Philadelphia, and Frederick P. Fish, of Boston, and the defendants by Messrs. Allan Webster and William L. Pierce.-N. Y. Times, February 3, 1896.

AMERICAS GREATEST SEED GROW.
 FRS.

FRS.
 Thirty years ago when the Salzers were conducting in a small but profit able way, a market garden and green house business in La Crosse, Wis, they little dreamed that within third of century they would be the leaders in the seed growing and seed-selling industry of America. The secret Of this phenomenal success was quality, liberality, push. Nothing in the world advertises itself quicker and better, and more lasting than quality and to the superior merit of Salzer's northern grown seeds; to their unusual life and vigor and to their absolute surety of growth, in conjunction with their great producing qualities, and this coupled with the great liberality of the firm in the way of rare and many extras to each order and push back of all, has placed the firm in the van and en' titles them to the proud distinction of Americas greatest seed growersl The production of rare vegetable sorts and new farm seeds has long been 8 great speciality with this company, owning and operating many thousands of acres of land. Their great eight hundred acre rial farm in South Da. kota was visited by thousands inter- ested in higher farming, and all rail roads gave half-fare rate within the state to any wishing to see the farm. The salzers pay great attention to the new grasses, clovers and fodder plants, and their catalogue contains inc largest list of rare farm seeds found in America.
 A strong point of the John A. Salzer Seed Co. is that they keep large stocks of everything in the seed line on hand, so that customer ordering of them IS always sure of getting what he or. ders.
 A slight idea of the magnitude of this firms business can be gathered that they issue probably the largest num- berof catalogues fany American firm; that they use oyer $60,0o0 postage a wear. employ in the packing and dis tributing of their seeds upwards CT six hundred hands and require for their distributing warehouse over ten acres of floor room.
 A five cent postage stamp sent to the John A. Salz.r Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis., will bring you their great catalogue.
