The democrats profess 10 favor a
fair trial OF protection during the
Mckinley administration. While
they make this loud profession
they engage every resource known
to political obstructionists to defeat
all reform measures that come be-
fore congress. 1t is legitimate
procedure to vote and present ar
gument to influence others to vote
agains. the policy of the party i'll
power; but it is not consistent with
public welfare to defeat the will.of
the people by the jobbing methods
Of the obstruc,iNists. especially
when the will OF the people has
been pronounced at the polls as il
was last November. The Dingley
bill is the plan Of the majority fol
the promotion OF prosperity. Its
effects upon the country are de-
layed by partisan violence upor

and no evidence that the delay In
granting the patent had been brought
about by the company. The delay
was through the fault OF the patent
Office. Justice Harlon dissented.
Justices Grey and Brown, it was an
nOunced, took no part IN the case, pre-
sumably because they were interested.
The court held that in order to set
aside n patent the government must
establi sh grounds as clear and satisfac-
tory "a to set aside land patent. All
! the other allegations Of the govern
ment beside that of delay were over
ruled. This decision sustains the
lower courts.
The case has attracted wide attention
because Of the extensive interests in.
vOlved in its settlement, and the Opin-
ion of the court has been closely
awaited.
The suit. /. was claimed, invo,ve,!
the practical control of the art Of tele-
phoning. 1t originated IN u charge OF
collision In the patent office, aud was
brought to Obtain the repeal and can
collation. of letters patent Of the United
States No. 483, $50, dated November l,
| 1891, granted to the American Bell
I Telephone company as assignee OF
Emil Berliner. the alleged inventor.
The repeal and cancellation Of the
patent was sought upon the ground
| that the application for it, while filed
in 1877, was not issued until 1891, and
this delay was charged to De unneces-
sary aud improper on the part Of the
patent office and the Bell Telephone
company, which, as Rerliner's assignee
controlled the application. 1t was
asserted that the company had ac'
guessed in and promoted the delay in
their own interest, thus defraudine
the public of its rights.
1t was claimed that the Berlinel
patent practically controls telephony
IA 1t has to do with both the transmits
sion and receipt of the sound, and the
delay thus secured until 1891 operated
to prolOng the control Of this act for l;
wears beyond the time of the expira
ton Of the B II patent.
1t was also asserted that he patent

which a uatent had been granted III
1880, and that the principle was

The question of public bridges
over one or both Of our rivers
should be seriously considered
upon the approach of the city cleo
ton. 1t rests within the province
of the city council to bridge tie
Clearwater river. BY bonding the
city tor a reasonable sum this pub
lie work could be prosecuted and
the present Indebtedness could be
placed in better condition. The
bridging of the Clearwater would
be good undertaking in a finan-
cial sense. A SMALL toll would pay
the interest OH the bonds and create
a sinking fund to cancel the prin-
ciple when due. The expenditure
Of the money, which would not be-
come burden upon the taxpayers
because the money would be re.
paid by tolls and not taxes, would
revive tagging industries and give
employment 10 idle laborers. This
enterprise would give impetus to
the city development that would
make Lewiston truly great before
it subsidized There is time fol
every community to take the
elixer of lite and Lewiston shoulC
take the medicine Just now.

Bell Company Wea.

Washington. May lO.-The Bell
Telephone company has won the case
brought against II by the United
States t. annui the last Reriiner patent.
This decision has the effect 0f contin-
uing the control Of the telephone by
the Bell company for Is years from the
date Of the last patent granted, 1881.
The government asked tO have the
patent set aside on the ground that the
delay Of Is years in the patent office
was fraudulent, through the fault of
the telephone company. and that the
patent Issued In 1880 covered the same
ground on which the new patent WAS
applied for in 1891.
The supreme court, In an opinion
delivered today be- Justice Brewer, held
there was no evidence OF corruption or
undue influence exercised over the

Tell II to the World.

In our mountains we have mines
that would bring about the inn
mediate development Of every re-
source Of the Lewiston valley, if
the facts could be effcctually pre-
scented to the world. Individual
effort is not effective in the promo
ton Of great enterprises. Cities
and communities are built up by
public enterprise. This city and
this valley possessed from the first
more natural advantages than any
other district of the Northwest and
there have been in our midst from
the first some very enterprising ill.,
dividualS, but the absence OF public
energy has kept Lewiston and
Lewiston valley for behind some
other communities which were
f'vored much less by nature.
IF the mines Of our mountains,
at this time, could be publicly adj
vcrtised the good effect would be
immediate. There i, surplus OF
capital in all commercial centers
that is available for mining enter
prises. IF the bald facts Of our
mineral lodges and placer deposits
in Elk, Pierce and Florence were
known to the world millions would
come to our country without delay
In along the ramihcations Of the
Clearwater there are 1000 quartz
locations. Many OF these offer a
hundred fold upon the money in
vested for their development
These facts should be impressed
upon the commercial world by EN-
phatic public endorsement. And
this is the time to promote great
enterprises that offer sure returns
for the money invested. There
was never before SO much money
lying idle. The factories and tht
farms no longer offer inducements
tor investors. The old channel!
Of trade are supplied with all thu
money that the profits will justify
The time Is ripe tor new fields ane
the mines of this district offer alb
soiute sure and ample profits TO
money invested. Why should thi
fact not be made KIN own by publi
effort?

Protests against the prosecutions

Protests against the prosecutions
by the Turks of Armenians es-
pecially and all other Christians
who are subjected to the dominion
of the Sultan have been registered
by every one of the powers Of Eu-
rope in the past. The Greeks who
have ever been friends of the cause
Of liberty were appealed to by
their brothers in the I,ie OF
Crete; and thay responded with an
armed force to relieved their peo-
pie from persecution. Every
Christian nation in the world had
expressed sympathy for the suffer
ers and abhorance for the tyrants;
and the Greeks believed they
would have the support of all the
Chri ,,ian powers. With the Greek
sentiment is above political inter
ests. They went to war for prin'
ciple and the powers who acknowl'
edge the justice of their cause have
contributed to their defe at and now
aid in their humiliation by dictat.

The Sweetwater Ditch.

The Sweet wa,er ditch since its
is assured is regarded
BY the public as an enterprise OF
great importance to the Lewiston
valley. The water supply will be
sufficient tor ali purposes until late
in July. The crops OH the land
covered by this ditch will be fully
matured before the season Of low
water arrives. All of the land be-
tween the Clearwater and Tam
many can be supplied with an
abundance Of water for irrigation
through June. 1t is a peculiar
condition Of this district that only
the first hot days of summer ser.
iously effect the crops. Without
irrigation all vegetation revives
from the moisture of the soil in the
latter part Of the summer. Even
with winter irrigation this subarid
district will produce certain crops.
These facts make the Sweetwater
enterprise one Of great importance
to all the farmers Of that fine belt
Of farming land adjoining this city
ON the east and south.
1t is a part Of the plan Of this
company to furnish water for the
residents Of the Hill. A reservoirs
system will be prepared for This
demand. The state law protects
the patrons Of all irrigation works
in their demands for domestic use
This feature will give to the house.

There IS an ample flow in the
Sweetwater creek all seasons fol

the year for irrigation of all the
fields Of the Tammany district
This supply can be economical b,

A couNTERFElTeR CAUGHT.
The Police of Syracuse Make an I'm
pOrtant CaDture


On Monday the 18th Harold Marquisee, of
Utica, n. Y, was arrested in Syracuse, n.
Y, on warrant sworn out by the DIR. Viii
liams' Medicine Co., charging him with forg-
cry. On the 18th of December Marquisee
visited photo-engraver in Syracuse, say
ing he was the representative of the DIR.
Williams Medicine Co, and arranged for the
making of full set OF plates for the dlrec-
ton sheets, labels, etc. of the famous DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. News
of this reached the home Office, and no time
was lost in arranging for his arrest when he
should return for the plates. lie returned
On the 18th. and was accordingly arrested
and is nov in Jail in Syracuse awaiting ex-
animation, which occurs on March I'd.
This arrest proves to be an important
one. In addition to various plumber, such
as medical books, typewriters, rugs, etc,
found in Marquisee's trunk when arrested,
the police also found counterfeit coin both
in the trunk and on his person; and IN a
search of his apartments IN Utica found a
complete outfit for counterfeiting consist
ing of crueibles, bellows, nickel, lead,
bismuth, anthony, a small blacksmith
forge. charcoal furnace, and several plas-
ter-of-paris molds. The United States mar.
shals want him Just as soon as DIR. Williams
Medicine Co. are through with him, and, no
doubt, he viii be sentenced for long pc
Rod.
In selecting IT. W hnafns rink Iliis ioF
his counterfeiting operations, he showed his
knowledge of the proprietary medicine bust
ness; for these pills are in such great demand
that they are easily sold at any drug store in
the United States. His scheme was TO work
the country druggists and sell his imita-
tions at discount of FROM per cent. to 5 per
cent, explaining the reduced price by the
fact that he had picked them up in small
lots and at a discount from dealers who were
oyerstocked Rv WORKING fast and making
long jumps. he would have secured many
hundreds of dollars in a short time. The
proprietors Of DIR. Williams Pink Pills are
most fortunate to have caught the rogue, be
fore he had fairly started, and to have thus
kept these spurious goods out of the market.
