4 Word to Colored Voters.

Ny colored voters. This is a
very importent election, great
crisis is at hand. Mr.. Bryan in
all his travels and speeches has
been speaking abont thousands Of
labores, farmers and poor people
being robbed of their rights in the
commercial world, yet he never
mentions that there are thousands
and thousands of colored men in
the South debarred of their equal
privileges or sovereign rights as
citizens to vote. IT he is honest
and sincere why don't he include
them and mention the fact to the
world that there is a great wrong
a great injustice done them. If the
editor of the Solicitor, St. Joseph
Mirror or the Indianapolis World
would happen to live in certain
sections of the South and 90 to
polls to vote even though they
advocate Demo populistic ideas
they would not be PERMITTED to
vote. In Mississippi the census of
80 shows the fact that there was
$50, 469 colored voters to 100, Gil
white voters despite the fact of
thousands of white republican
voters that state casts every year
immense majorities Tor Democracy
Is it justice to debar the colored
man from voting or not count his
vote when cast. Any colored man
that stamps the approval OF such
actions by his voice or vote is an
enemy to the progress Of his race.
My colored voter if you have had
an inclination OF voting the free
silver ticket controlled by Jones,
Tillman and Watson, | ask you to
pause a while and think. Think
of the 500, 600 negro voters voice
less as a sphynx. cut off from every
essence of citizenship.
See that every Republican voter
is registered.

Waller in SaIina

SALINA, KAN. Oct. H.-John L. Waller,
ex-consul to Madagascar, delivered a
speech here last evening under the aus
pices of the Young Mems Republican club.
1t is estimated that he had the largest au-
dience which has gathered at a political
meeting in Salina during this campaign.
Both the parquet and the galleries Of the
opera house were packed until there was
no standing room, people even crowding
the wings of the stage. After that hun-
dreds of people were turned away, Waller
made strong Republican speech, dealing

The silverites need waste no
time in sending emissaries among
the colored people with the view
Of winning them over to any such
party. It may be good policy
for the race to divide but this is
time when the good Of the people
and the credit Of the country.
demands that the colored people
remain loyal to the principle Of
sound money and protection Of
American industries This issue
has been clearly and closely drawn
and as the people believe in good
government and honest money
their votes should be cast for the
Republican nominee in November.

After careful canvass of almost

Bystander is prepared to give our
readers, what will be a very cons
servative estimation of the of the
States, and the number of electors
in each State and for whom they
will vote. From the present out
look, we are satisfied that Mr..
Mckinley will carry Kentuckey,
Maryland and West Virginia
Mr.. Palmer and Buckner will
draw more from the Chicago cand-
idate in the three States. than any
below the Mason and Dixonline,
Palmer and Budkner are both
Kentuckians and that alone is
worth many votes for them. Ill
inois, Kansas and Nebrask is no
longer doubtful, Mr.. Mckinley
will have a big majority in each.
Illinois will give him 100, 900
majority over the boy orator. Mr..
Mckinley chances are as good in
Texas and Virginia as Mr.. Bryan's
are. The conservative Democrats
of these two states would rather
be beaten as democrats, than win
as Populists. This safe estimation
will give Mr.. Mckinley 302 of the
AT electoral votes and the chances
are for more. 1t Mr.. Bryan
should carry Texas and Virginia
he will only have 145 electrol
votes. The The following is how each
State will 90.

EXPENSES OF PATENTS.


The goyesnment has ref emily granted
two patents, which cover probably the
most intricate and complex machine
ever constructed. II is claimed that be-
fore. the first machine was perfected
tho company constructing it had ex-'
pended II, ,3OO, 900. The first applica-
tion filed contained 204 sheets Of draw
ing3 having over 1000 separate views.
During the eight years the case was
pending in the Office before allowance
the number Of sheets was reduced to
163. When it is remembered that Che
majority Of patents have but single
sheet Of drawings, and that to require
- many 40 ten sheets is qnite un excep
ton, the magnitude of the inyention
can be understood. The fees charged
by the patent Office are uniform for all
cases, no matter how complex or how
simple-$15 for fling the case and 500
additional on allowance OF tho patent.
When this ca1e was fled it WINS turned
over for examination to an examiner,
who received salary OF 81, 500, and he
spent six weeks in studying the case
before being able to make the first ac-
tion. The entire specification was twice
rewritten. each time by different at
torney. How much this cost the invcn-
tor is not known, but it is rumored
that the attorney who first prepared the
case received fee of 10000 and an
allowance of $4,000 extra to pay for
the drawings. While the case was pend
ing the examiner who first had it in
charge resigned from the Office, and it
was turned over to another assistant
of the same rank This assistant went
over the entire ground three times.
consuming several weeks, and finally
he was authorized to go to Chicago
and spend a month in examining a
working machine. When the request
was first made Of the commissioners
that the examiner be permitted to make
the trip it was promptly refused. For
argument the chief Of the division then
carried in the papers, making pile
some two feet thick of unfolded draw
ings and typewiitten specification, and
the commissioner said: ''He cnn 60"
The machine is for the setting, justify
ing and distribution of type. 1t COM
prises no less than 18, 600 separate parts.
The patent Office is q money making
institution. It earns, above expenses,
about 100000 per year, and now has
deposited in the treasury neat little
balance of over 900. Upon this
job, however, it 'ost about 81 ,000 worth
of time of the various patent office Of
ficials before maturing into patent,
and when issued the patent rule had
to be followed of preparing copies for
sale at the regulation price of ten cents
each. The 244 sheets of drawings had
to be photo-lithographed end tie entire
body of the specification and claims
set up in type, costing TO the third edi-
tion, as estimated by the ordinary rules,
few cents over six dollars per copy.
These copies are sold to the public for
ten cents each, or 20 cents for the two
patents, covering the entire invention.
AS soon as one edition is exhausted
another 10 ordered. A great many peo-
pie order copies of the patents just
for curio0ities.-WashinR Star.
