Senator Quay has reason TO feel
gratifed at the reception ibis idea. for
the retirement Of the greenbacks 10
meeting from, Senators and Represen-
1tatives, even il it does not get adopted.
His idea is to, remove the opportunity
for raiding the gold in the Treasury By
replacing the greenbacks with, notes
payable in gold at the optioni of the
Government. He thinks these, notes
would everywhere be regarded as gold;
thai they would be used by the, banks
10 maintain their gold reserve, and
that their use would put an end to the
much talked about .'sndless chain"
Men who are opposed to- further issues
Of bonds take kindly to Senator Qpay'a
plan, and il no legislation increasing
the revenue can be. had this winter,
they may try TO put it through. Con-
gress, provided that it liis endorsed BY

There is q decided revival of thel
talk Of organizing Patent Bar, with6
Rules of Practice. strict enough tod
make the profession of soliciting pat-I 4
ents as honorable as that of practicinga
in our highest law courts. tiAnd there
is reason enough for the revival, too.
The honorable patent lawyer Doesn't
like to be considered in the same class
as the green goods man. the bunco-
steerer or the illicit vender of; lottery
tickets. But il something isn't done
to stop and to prevent the bunco offers
Of alleged would-be purchasers Of pat
ents and Of lottery prizes for ideas
whether patentable or not. there Is
grave danger that they will be 90 ssso-
eiated, certainly in the minds of those
who are buncoed by these schemes Of
doubtful legality and Of certain inn
morality. But after all, it is the in
yentor who needs protection the most.
The q. s. Courts will give 1t to him
after he gets his patent, but it is be-
fore he gets his patent that be is
skinned, il he doesn't exercise good
judgement enough to make bis appli-
cation through honorable, patent law-
yers, such as would scorn the intror
duction Of lottery methods into their
business for the sake of enticing adj
vance fees from the pockets Of invent
ors. II an Inventor doesn't know Of
such . firm be should inquireof friends,
and take no chances.
Secretary Herbert's report will not
not be made public until the last Of
this week, but 1t can be stated upon |
good authority that twill take strong
grounds in favor Of the continued in
crease Of the Navy and will recon-
mend that three new battle-ships and
Een \ torpedo boats be provided for, At |
ibis session Of Congress-. 7.u.5,a 4ssss!,I
