The Seeet Archives Of the Patent Office
A or.vsy.rd Of Human Hopes.

1 a Aossvvy eso W sA"sss@u AAcFSSs
| Since the beginning Of the Patent
System the United States Govern
ment has issued nearly 600. 900 pat
ents upon about 100000 applica-
tions filed. It is an easy matter TO
speculate upon the vast impetus CIV
en- to human progress by the pat
ents issned. Every retrospective
Fourth of July orator loves to dwell
upon the story. But who shall tell
the tales Of disappointed hopes rep
resented by the half million applica.
tions which never matured into pat
ents?
In round number 10000 applisa.
tions are filed in the Patent Office
each year, and $4,000 patents are
issued. 5000 applications are allow.
ed which never boone patents, form
failure of the inventors to pay the
final fee Of $4,000.
When an application has been
pending for two years, from the last
action by the Office, it is marked
abandoned" on fee books and sent
to the graveyard where it is plac-
ed in SITS proper position in ths
ranks OF those that have gone on be-
fore. It is necessary that they should
be kept in order as they may be call
ed up at any time by the inventors,
o. by the Patent Office officials.
When an application is found al
lowable, notice is sent to the in-
ventor to that effect, and six months
are given him in which to pay the
final fee. At the expiration OF this
time, if the fee be not paid, the case
is stamped "foreited", and if not
renewed within eighteen months it
is declared abandoned and sent be.
low with the others.
In the crowded condition of the
Patent Office building it is serious
problem to properly arrange and
Sore this constantly increasing
quantity of dead material and keep
it away from the pryine Of inquisi-
tive idea" hunters. Among the
many thousands of applications
which were found on careful exsmi.
nation to be allowable, but which be.
came forfeited and abandoned,
there are dubtless scores Of exceed.
ingly valuable inventions.
The visitor is permitted to 60 to

his comments upon the State Normal
schools voice a condition which has
Ions been apparent. and yet which both
Republican and Democratic Legisla-
lures have failed to change. A Gov
ernor can do little in this regard with
out legislative backing.
The comments upon the physical re-
sources of our State. its past develop
ment and its future promise, are not
open for criticism. while the treatment
of The subjects of trusts and similar
combinations is diplomatic and general
TO the point Of semi-transparency.
Both ends and the middle of the sub
J 5ect are grasped, and nobody's feelings
are hurt
As a whole, the address has a good
sound. and will provoke little hostile
criticism. The Governor should keep
a copy pasted in his hat, and consult it
frequently. Performance, and not
promise. will be the final test.

Not necessarily. On the contrary, it
would have been much better to have
said it is the paramount duty of Con-
gress to keep the appropriations well
within the billion dollar mark, in these
times of popular financial distress, and
thereby prevent an excess of eXpendl-
lures over revenue.
The declarations of Republican hos
tility to trusts will provoke a smile

The statement that reforms in the

The friends of Cuba will look in vain
for anything upon which they can hang

policy is cloaked in commonplace pla-
titudes.

is urged as the first business.

1t points no way to prosperity, EX-
CEPT through increased taxation, and
he does not even recommend economy,
except in the event that the present
revenues are to be continued. 1t is the
old Mckinley in a higher station, with
no added wisdom and with no new de-
vice for the public good. Business con-
ditions are TO be further unsettled by a
new tariff bill, taxation is to be in
creased. and the additional money
hoped to be raised will be spent
through a continuation of Republican
Congressional extravaganza. And this
is to bring better times! We shall see.

There is every reason why there
should be a thorough investigation Of
the suspicious circumstances attending
the fire at No. 291O Chapline street,
where two lives were lost a few days
ago.
The results Of this fire were very ser
ious. many others in the house, in adj
dition to the victims, were put in peril,
and surrounding property was threat
ened
The ascertained facts strongly point
to a crime fearful in its conception,
careful in its execution, and awful in
its results.
For any newspaper to ridicule the
circumstance as they exist, or TO laugh
at the demand for action by the author
tiles. is to set a very bad example and
to encourage crime, even if there was
no crime in this instance. Such a
stand by a newspaper can have no en-
couragement in this community.
The facts are suspicious, and suspic-
ious facts should always be carefully
investigated. where there is loss of hui
man life. If a thorough enquiry shall
result in a conclusion of accident, well
and good. No harm has been done. If
the opposite result is reached,
good again. for the proper thing has
been done.
Let this matter be settled and with
out undue haste as to a conclusion.

Statistics are proverbially dry read
ing. and vet some curious facts and not
little amusement can be gotten out
of an examination Of the detailed re-
turns of the last Presidential election.
For instance Irishmen are generally
set down as Democrats. while during
the last campaign it was currently re-
ported and generally believed that the
German-Americans would vote the Re
publican ticket nearly unanimously.
I'm Clinton county. Ill.,. there are two
neiehboring townships, known official
Iv as Irishtown and Germantown, they
taking their names from a preponder-
ance of these uationalities. In Irish
town Mckinley received 1877 votes, to
ga for Bryan. while in Germantown
BRYAN received 295 votes. and McKin-
ley but rs. This almost solidly Ger
man community was the strongest Bry-
an township in the entire State Of Hi
nois.
The returns from Texas possess a
good deal of interest For instance,
Armstrong county cast 1870 votes for
BRYAN and but s for Mckinley, Briscoe
county cast 175 for Bryan and but for
Mckinley. CoIlingsworth county cast
1876 for Bryan and but for Mckinley;
King county cast IS votes for Bryan
and 1 for Mckinley. Randall county cast
124 for Bryan and for Mckinley, while
JEFF Davis county cast but As for Bry-
am and 102 for Mckinley. Sherman
county cast but IA votes in all for Pres
ident. of which Bryan got 6 and Nc
Kinley s. while Greer county did not
cast vote. Texas is known as State
of phenomenal Democratic majOritles,
vet there are Republicans there, as is
shown by the returns from some of the
counties I'm Kinney county for in
stance. Bryan received 149 votes and
Mckinley 467. and in Marion county
the BRYAN vote was 704. while the Nc
Kinlev vote was 1.40S-eXactly double,
while Gillespie county returned 45S for
Bryan and 1864 for Mckinley. Proba-
bly, the closest county, politically, was
Hansford. where the Bryan vote was
rs and the Mckinley vote II.
In Greene county, Mississippi, there
were 300 votes for Bryan and none for
Mckinley. and in West Carroll parish,
Louisiana. there were 537 for Bryan and
/ for Mckinley. Per contra, in Unicoi
county. Tenn. there were but SO for
Bryan and So4 for Mckinley, and in Or
leans county. Vermont, there were
42 for Bryan and S.444 for Mckinley.
Cook county, Illinois, gave both the
Presidential candidates the largest vote
of any county in the country, Bryan
receiving 152146. and Mckinley 221,S23.
Neither candidate received so large a
vote in New York City by many thous-
auds

STUART WILL BE RICH,
II file Disposes of All the Seats in the
Carson Ampitheatre


Carson, Nevada, March 4.-The first
official statement of seating arrange
ments was given to the Associated
Press this morning The arena has
twelve large sections and is not Octa-
gonal There are twenty-eight hun
dred box seats, groups from three to
twelve in a box, forty dollar seats, five
thousand four hundred and thirty-siX
reserve seats at twenty dollars, five
thousand seven hundred and twenty
eight at ten dollars, and twelve hun
dred and lightweight at five dollars
each, making a total seating capacity
of fifteen thousand two hundred and
fifty-twO
Should all these seats be occupied at
the Corbett-Fitzsimmon fight, the re-
ceipts would amount to two hundred
and eighty-four thousand dollars.
Space has been set aside for operat-
ing the kinetescope, also about two
hundred and forty seats for members
of the press. in two rows against and
entirely surrounding the ring. The
ropes. posts and padding for the ring,
the same as used for the Corbett-Shar-
key fight, will be here to-day. The
platform for the ring is now up. The
boxes will be completed to-day. In
fact the arena will present an almost
finished appearance at the close of to-
days work. The big pugilists took to
the road this morning, pleased with
the mild spring weather.
sitzsimmons made his usual visit TO
the postoffice, but Corbett, who seldom
is seen in town, took the opposite dl-
rection over the foot hills. Concern
ing charges of drinking that have been
made against Fitzsimmons the general
opinion seems to be that he is doing
nothing to injure his chances in the
fight. The saloon in his gymnasium
gives ample opportunity for FitzsIm-
mons to drink in private if he desired.
While he has been seen in saloons
with Julian and others, no one has
been found who will assert having seen
the big fighter INDUCING in liquor TO
an extent producing any signs OF IN
toXication.
