THE POLITICIAN.

1t is matter for congratulation to
President Mckinley that his admins
tration has furnished SO little cause
for legitimate criticism that the oppos-
ition has been driven to the manufac-
ture of faults to criticise. The assas-
sination of the Spanish Premier and
the consequent stir in Spain has been
made the foundation of many sensa-
tional stories concerning alleged
changes in the intentions OF President
Mckinley as to his Cuban policy, and
Secretary Shermans being at the head
of the State Department has caused
him to figure conspicuously in most OF
the stories. There is absolutely no
foundation for any of these stories.
There has been no change and none is
contemplated.

Commissioner Butterworth's new
rules to govern the practice before the
U. S. Patent Office would have been
cordially welcomed by the honest mem
bers of the patent bar at any time, be-
cause they know the need of reform,
but the state of affairs shown by the
testimony at the hearings in the dis
barment proceedings against John
Wedderburn & Co., has made the gen
eral public understand as it has never
understood before the value of having
a man like Ben Butterworth at the
head of the Patent Office while the
purging process is going on. 1t is IN
evidence that Wedderbum 81 Co., re-
peatedly deceived their poor clients by
advising them that patents could be
obtained for old and valueless devices
and that the same could be sold for
high prices, taking advance fees for
prosecuting applications for patents,
both in the U. S. and in Europe for
what was clearly unpatenta ole and
money for advertising them for sale
How extensively this sort of thing has
been done may be judged by the testi-
mony of officials, which says that dur
ing the past two years more than
/ 800 applications for patents filed by
& Co., about one-half of
the total number filed by them, have
been rejected as unpatentable, while
Of the remainder not more than 200
have been of sufficient value to justify

THE AGENT GETS q GUESS.

II has been our custom. and We will con-
Time IT, TO allow the agent a guess I'm the
contests that are running for every yearly
s,,hscriber he sends in. This does not in
tarfere with the subscribers taking a guess
nor with the premium paper or book or
dered Tor the subscriber. The agent stands
n showing to get a prize as often as ne
sends a yearly subscription. In the con-
test on the number of bales of cotton at
New orleans out OF the nine checks that
we mailed six OF them were sent to agents
VINO had filed guesses with the subscrip-
lions they sent In.
There is no reason why an agent having
more chances at the prize should
strike II rather than a subscriber: this is
not a discrimination against the suDscrib-
er. If ne gets a guess right ne will receive
his money, no matter who lie may be

II IS strange, too thai many agents who
secure several hundred guesses during

10 mere than ten or twenty chances arc
successful; they are better guessers. that
Is all.

have long since given up coming to Athens,
as they can make no money there. The
Greeks pride themselves on their democra-
cy. They respect the king but they dont
think that he is any better than them
selves, and they say that they believe 50
much in equality among Greeks that they
