Morgan and Hill Interests Said to Control
the Great Western.
CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-The Inter- Ocean,
in commenting upon the recent advance
in the securities Of the Chicago Great
Western railway, gives currency to a
report that the j. P. Morgan interest,
which now controls the Northern Pa
ciic, and the James J. Hill party,
which owns the Great Northern rail-
way, are TO- in possession Of options
representing the controlling interests in
the Great Western.
This, it is said, will perfect a for
midable combination which will min
imize competition in the carrying trade
of the Northwest. The Chicago Great
Western will give the Northern Pacific
Great Northern interests its own line
from st. Paul to Chicago. 1t is pro-
posed by the new combination to make
an attempt to control the transpacific
carrying trade by means of an alliance
already perfected and in operation with
the Nippon Gusen Kaisha, or Japan
Mail Steamship company, which has
the largest fleet and the second largest
tonnage rating of any steamship com.
pany in the world.

store, mentioned that Mrs. Joseph Moore was
q firm believer in their efficacy. Pursuing
his quest, the Tribune man paid Mrs Moore
o visit the next day.

most respected. The Squire is carrying his

for over fifty years they have travelled the
pathway of life together. In ls4s they emf
grated to this country and settled IN Derby,
Conn.,, where they resided for a number OF
years. While there Mr.. Moore, who was
highly respected by his neighbors, was elect
ed a member OF the State Legislature in 1867.
During his residence in the United States
he has been q constant reader OF the New
York Tribune, and wes an ardent admirer
Of its founder and great editor, Horace
Greeley, and a firm believer in that notable
writer's opinions. Through those mediums
he was influenced to come to Greeley in the
early spring Of 1871, and here he has resided
ever since. During his residence in this
beautiful section of northern Colorado, he
has held many responsible public positions,
notably that Of Justice of the Peace, an Office
which he occupied uninterruptedly for eight
years; and four years ago was reelected TO
another term, his name being placed in
nomination at the convention without his
knowledge.
The n~ewsgatherer was received cordially
and in response to his inquiries. Mrs. Moore
stated that her health commenced falling
several years ago but like a great many wo,n-
en-, she scarcely knew the meaning OF the
name sickness in relation 10 herself. She
refused medical attendance or treatment OF
any kind. barring that which she drew upon
from the family plarmaeopMia or diSrensary.

PATENT
The Vast Majority of Those Sent to Wash
ington Are Rejected.

The Vast Majority of Those Sent to WASH
ington Are Rejected.
The applications for patents filed av-
erage about 1875 a day. There are 35
principal examiners, with perhaps 200
assistants. Every examiner and every
assistant examiner has his own special
ty. Let US take the case. say, of q poor
inventor living in Oregon. He makes a
valuable invention and desires to OBJ
tain a patent. He sends his application
with $15 to the commissioner of pat
ents. It is referred to the examiner hav-
ing charge of that peculiar class of in
ventions. 1t is his duty to reject it if
anything can be fosnd on which to base
a rejection. Nearly 60O, 900 patents
have been granted in the United States,
and probably more than 1000. 600 in
the rest Of the world. If any of these
anticipate the invention, the examiner
must reject the application. It is not
necessary that exactly the same thing
should have existed before, for if any
thing substantially similar can be found
the applicant must go to the wall. But,
more than this, if anything similar has
been described in any printed publica-
ton, in any language, anywhere in the
world, or if without being patented or
described in print it has been used any
where in the United States, the exam
liner should reject.
The rub comes all the time upon the
degree of similarity which will consti.
tute an anticipation Of the invention.
A tremendous responsibility, it will be
seen, is thus thrown upon the examiner.
He wants to be safe. It is both his
pride and his duty not to allow a patent
to go out that ought to have been re-
jected. The consequence is that a great
many examiners reject almost every
thing on the first examination. No mat
ter how broadly new the invention may
be, something can always be found that
is akin to it. The nearest thing that can
be found is used as a basis for rejection.

THE PEEPUL SPEAK AGAIN.

Hughes, YOest, Gilmore, Miller and
Cheath the Orators.
The "Peepul's Party" orators
spoke again to large crowd at the
Court house Wednesday night.
Leonhard Hughes was the first
speaker, and he had not fairly
started before he pitched into the
HERALD-or the "Christian Advo-
cate" as he called it-for the scurri-
lous attacks it had made on men Of
the town. IF Frank Lander was
the secretary Of God Almighty" he
said, "he would send every whiskey
man to hell tomorrow He said
the HERALn's editor had devoted
column after column in trying to
teach the mothers of the town how
to raise their boys, young man
though he be and with only one
child, and he hadn't taught him yet.
The HERALD had forgotten that in
the past it had advocated race
tracks, which allowed betting,
gambling, chicken fighting, etc.
He thanked God for the "Inde-
pendent" That was the paper of
the peepul, and if anybody ever
wanted to know who wrote any GER
tain article all he had to do was to
go and ask it's editor.
He said If he couldn't make a fight
in better manner than the HER
AID was doing, "he would bury
himself and dig his own grave"
The Peepul's Party, he said, was
not made up of Building & Loan
men, MONDAY prayer meeting men
(although he had nothing against
the prayer-meeting), bankers, nor
men who owned the capital of the
town; but their ranks were com
posed of men who toiled daily for
their bread. He was for the peepul
and God knew he loved them.
"Why are the whiskey men
opposed to the Reformers?" he
asked. Because they had passed a
screen law" which they should
have known was unconstitutional,
and thereby imposed an expense of
about 5000 on them and the other
tax payers. He thanked every
whiskey man for his support of the
"Peepul's" ticket. r
The "Peepul's" ticket was not sup
ported by any rings or cliques. II
he should say that the Building 4

eron and others-was ring" OF
the Reform party, the next editorial
in the "Christian Advocate" would
enounce him as a lie. Yet it wOulC

proper name), and other whiskey

IN report of Mr.. Figures speech
at Gholston's Hall, in last weeks
HERALD, two errors were uninten-
tionally made. Mr.. Figures said the
big Three" had given Bob Guest a
salary of 5000 year and not 800 a
month, as stated in the HERALD.
The HERALD also said that Mr..
Figures was the first man who ever
offered a gold medal to any pupil
in the Columbia Public Schools; it
should have said any cOLOred pupil.

IN his speech in the court-ho uGe
last Wednesday night, Leonh ard
Hughes is reported as saying that
''if the editor of the HERALD had
his way, he would send every saloon
keeper to hell" That statement is
not true. The editor of the HERALD
has no malice or hate against any
man engaged in that business. What
we would like to do is to save them
from the curse of their own bust
ness, and prevent them from sending
themselves or anybody else to hell.
1t is the traffic we are against, not
the men.

and deception from its incipiency.
He was not against the men on the
Reform ticket, but he was against
the 'power behind the throne" Mr..
Yoest hit about promiscuousiy, ridi-
culing the law prohibiting the sale
of ice after 8 O'Clock on Sunday, the
'goody -goody reform fell ows," etc.
Rev. Gilmore (COIOred,)
was called to the stand after Mr..
Yoest had finished. He said he had
religion and as much of it as any of
the hypOcrits in town. He didn't
like whiskey, but he believed that if
any man was given license to sell
l., he ought to be allowed to do his
duty as much as any other mer-
chant. He was mad because the
Reformers, at their NEE ting in the
courthouse week before, had
placed him back In the rear of the
audience. But the "PeepuI' had
given him a seat down in font, and
he had as much right there as any
of the poor white men at the Reform
meeting who paid nothing but their
poll tax, while he had tax receipt
for SIP. He was loudly cheered, and
Lee Miller (Coiored),
was the next called for. He said he
had been away from Columbia for a
long time and had been reading one
OF the Columbia papers, and thought
when he returned he would find the
town only three miles from hell.
He didn't know the whiskey men
were all on his side, but If they were

men. He had never seen Mr.. Yoest
in "Rufe's" place of business, and
he went there very often.
He then endeavored to defend
"Old man Lazarus" as he called
him, on the public school question.
He said that w. S.. Fleming-that
immaculate angel, just ready to
wing his flight to heaven, and who
never told lie in his life"-knew
some things, as President of the
Board of Education during Mr..
Lazarus aldermancy, that he saw fit
to keep quiet. "Why do you,' he
said, 80, grave man of God, keep
still?"
Mr.. Hughes said it was impossible
to stake twenty-five men and rule
$500 and not get one id rascal
in the crowd, to save your life." He
would not say who the odd rascal
was, but they could guess, and no
doubt they would guess the whole
crowd"
lie then plead for the colored peo-
pie. He said the Reformers had
gone to Nashville and said DON'T
give Tie any more eolored alder
men" He asked them if they would
vote for a party that tried to usurp
their rights.
Mr.. Hughes, having finished, Jake
Barker said let Mr.. Yoestspeak. and
Jake, being "Sir Oracle" of course
Mr.. YOest spoke.
Mr.. YOest
said he would start where he left of
at GhOlstOh's hall. He denounced

voted to approve the bill; yet, as he
said, his prime cause for voting to
abolish the Board of Education was
that they had expended forty cents
for brooms and thirty cents for coal
oil.
For the mere sum of $27.40 Mr..
Lazarus wanted to abolish the
schools of Columbia, thereby rob-
bling the poor man of chance to
give his children an education, and
turning them out upon the streets to
wander into the saloons and dens
of vice.
n Mr.. Padgett closed by making an
appeal to the voters to cast their
ballots for men who they knew
would befriend them.

CoLoRED PEOPLE INTERESTED.

They Organize in the Interest of the
Reform Movement.
The colored people in sympathy
with the Reform movement met in
Gholston's Hall last Tuesday night
and organized for work. Some of
the best colored people in town were
present, and each pledged his sup
port to the Reform ticket.
Hon. Jas. A. Smiser opened the
meeting with stirring speech, and
he was followed by Marshall Lewis,
Rev. Lawrence and Prof. Robt

lent addresses for Reform.

Yet there is poison in the veins of the
body polite. 1t threatens the liberty
for which our fathers fought. 1t leads
us to fear the suppression of the public
fluctuation Of thought that puts each
party on its guard 1t may precipitate
again the conflict that watered our
birthplace with blood when men de-
manded their right to be represented.
That poison is BOSSISM. Think for a
moment what things bosses set out to
accomplish and you will realize how
abhorrent such people are to the Ameri-
can instinct. a boss has no genuine
political beliefs; he will as gladly deal
with the boss of different stamp, as he
will listen to his own helpers. Unlike
leaders who are called forth by the
compelling voice of a people who recog-
nize merit, bosses are the cunning users
of fortuitOus circumstances, Placed in
some temporary position of power, the
boss plots to make his hold permanent
and panders to the lowest instincts Of
greed in gathering around him cring-
ing sycOphsnts ready to do his will. A
boss will sit down months before q cam

paign and plot while men of upright
thought are all unsuspicious. His fol-
l'wers will "fiX up" primaries, rush
through estates" unbroken, pack con-
ventions and so make our glorious heri-
tage of free and unbiased voting a mere
farce and a mockery. Not necessarily
himself holding public office, the boss
places public men under such obliga-
tions to himself that they yield him I'M.

vide with him the spoils, for the sake of
| his continued maintenance of them in
their positions. These are they who
have made the stock-eambling of our
Senate possibility, shame and scan

have degraded politics until to 60 into
the highways of public life tests a mans
probity of character more than to the
full. These are they who have at
I frighted good men, and before whom
voters are dumb, like sheep before
shearers. These are they who sell legis-
lation to highest bidders until all law
making is coming under the ban of sus-
picion. These are they in short who
are more dangerous than nihilsts; who
are driving us forward to a national out
burst. "The people" are slow to anger
but the dav of reckoning with perverted
justice, and purloined privileges is
bound to come unless we right wrongs,
and that right speedily.
