The above taken from the Daily Inter

is for one part OF the States to decry an
other portion. When thecopper deposits
were first worked in the neighborhood Of
Butte City some of the Lake people
claimed that not enough copper would
be found to make cowbell. Surely the

cursion Route Book This work is de-
signed to provide the public with short
descriptive notes of the principal Summer

routes for reaching them, and the rates of
fare. There are over four hundred re-
sorts in the book to which rates are quoted,
and over fifteen hun dred different routes
or combinations of routes. 1t is compiled
with the utmost care, and altogether is the
most complete and comprehensive hand

public.
Its 219 pages are inclosed in hand
some and striking cover, in colors. Sew
eral maps, presenting the exact routes
over which tickets are sold, are bound in
the book. 1t is also profusely illustrated
with fine half-tonc cuts of scenery along
the lines of the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad and
elsewhere.

careful examination of the contents of
this publication.

PATENT OFFICE SCANDAL.

EDITOR ENQUIRER:-It is not remark
able that a Bill has been introduced in
Congress imposing heavy fine or i'm
prisonment upon alleged patent attorneys
who offer prizes and medals as an induce
ment to apply for patent. A more taking
scheme for obtaining money has seldom
been invented. Thousands have been
caught by it, and have lost, not only the
money they have paid the attorney and
the Government, but, in jack O. lantern
pursuit of fortune, in a promised but new
er to be obtained patent, have stopped
work and even mortgaged or sold their
property. The aggregate misery from
this source is pathetic to contemplate.
These attorneys have advertised far AMI
wide that ideas are patentable, and have Il
commercial and marketable value. A
most delusive and hurtful deception. The
lists of patents wanted" which they send
to stimulate invention, as matter of
course, embrace classes in which there are
already from 10 to 100 patents granted
Indeed, it is impossible to print list of
100 inventions, without mentioning at
least SO that have been each covered by
many patents.
1t is kindness on the part of the Gov
eminent to refuse the grant of patent, as
it does in nine cases in ten, to these de-
luded applicants, for the grant of t1imsy,
worthless patent for an almost obsolete
device would only involve the owner in
further fruitless expense
All these attorneys have SO called sale
agency annexes, and, under the pretence
of being able to sell the patent, still further
fleece the poor men and women by getting
their money for advertising. OF course
they never sell, for the patents they pro-
cure are weak and worthless, and no one
posted in the class of invention to which
they pertain would accept them as a gift.

THE LAMBETH CONFERENCE

Bishop Paret, of the Protestant Episco-
pal Diocese of Maryland, will sail from
New York for London to morrow on the
Atlantic Transport liner Mohawk. He
expects to return to Baltimore between
the 1st and 18th of October. He expects
to spend July attendin the Lambeth Con-
ference of Bishops
The Lambeth Conference is an assem-
blage of the bishops of the Anglican COM
munion throughout the world. 1t gener-
ally meets every ten years at Lambeth, the
palace of the Archbishop of Canterbury,
the last conference having been held in
1888. In order that the bishops might
unite in celebrating the thirteen hundredth
anniversary of the landing of St. Angus
tine, the first Archbishop of Canterbury,
the interval has this time been shortened
to nine years.
Although possessing no definite author
ity or power, or even definite organiza-
ton, the conference eXerts a great intlu-
ence in the Anglican Church. Some of the
subjects to be considered this year are:
Critical Study of Holy Scriptures
"The Organization of the Anglican Com
munion."
Duties of the Church to the Colonies
international Arbitration"
THE Office of the Church with Respect
to Industrial Problems
Further Consideration of the Subject
of Church Unity in Its Relations to the
Churches of the East, to the Latin Com
munion and to Other Christian Bodies"
Reformation Movement on the Cont
nent of Europe and Elsewhere
THE Relation of Religious Communi
ties with the Church to the Episcopate"
THE Book of Common Prayer"
Degrees in Divinity"
Much persuasion was required to induce
the Bishop to make the trip, and it was
only after the earnest solicitation of some
friends that he consented to go. While
his recent trip to Jamaica did him much
good he is still in poor health, and his
advisers believe that long rest is needed
to fully invigorate him. 1t is not i'm
probable that he will seek relaxation and
quietneSs in some retreat in France after
the adjournment of the conference.

NEARING A CRISIS.

A crisis on the Cuban question is
rapidly approaching. The reports of
Consul General Lee and Commission
er Calhoun will certainly call for diplo-
matte action by this Government
There seems now to be every incentive
to prompt and decisive action. The
Philadelphia Times says: THAT the at
tempt to suppress the Cuban insurrec-
ton is an absolute failure on the part
of Spain, and more hopeless now than
it was one year ago. In the meantime
American interests, involving nearly
100000 900 of investments in the is
land of Cuba, and American citizens
who were driven from their homes by
Weyler's brutal policy of congregating
the people in the cities where they are
without food and employment, demand
decisive action Oh the part of the
President, and all advices point to a
positive movement for the independ-
ence of Cuba within the next few
weeks.
at is possible that Spain may de-
clare war against the United States,
not because we have given any cause
for war, but because Spain must do so
to prevent revolution at home. Only
by war with the United States can
Spain surrender Cuba without domes-
tic CONFUSION, and declaration of war
against the United States by Spain
would only be public confession on
the part of Spain that Cuba cannot be
held as a Spanish province.
"To surrender Cuba to independence
would overthrow the ruling Spanish
dynasty, but if once involved in a war
with the United States when Cuba
would be captured by this country
within fortnight, it would open the
way for negotiations for the freedom
of Cuba, possibly under an American
protectorate that would give stability
to the government and credit of that
ill-fated island. The Cuban crisis is
close at hand. and we are ready for it.

LYNCH LAW IN SOMERSET.

William Andrews, colorcd, was taken
from the officers of the law by mob
near the Court House in Princess
Anne, Nd, on Wednesday, and lynch
ed. He had just pleaded guilty to the
charge of assaulting Mrs. Kelly, on the
afternoon of May 5th, and been SEN
fenced to be executed. He was being
taken to the Jail when the crowd seized
him. The affair has created quite a
sensation, as evidences of mob vio-
lence are of almost daily occurrence.
Scarcely a newspaper is issued that
does not contain an account of some
such tragedy. The occasions for tbs
exercise of lynch law do seem to abate,
and the sentiment of people in every
part of the country is nearly the same,
and nothing restraints the fearful and
deadly expression whenever and
wherever the provocation occurs. 1t
is a race problem and social problem
that calls for most serious thought
"The usual reflections are suggested
by the terrible lyinching which occur
red Wednesday at Princess Anne, says
the Baltimore San. ain this case the
action of the mob was as illogical as it
was brutal. The man had been con-
victed and sentenced to death, and
there was no doubt that he would pay
the penalty of his crime. The people
OF Somerset could have afforded to wait
for the execution of the law sentence
To forestall it in the fierce fashion they
did was serious blow at themselves
and at the foundations of order upon
which the general safety and happiness
rest We feel sure that no one will re-
greet this violent outbreak more than
those citizens of Somerset county who
participated in it when they come to
themselves and realize what they have
done. Their otiense is not that they
have done to death savage wretch
who richly deserved the fate which the
representatives of justice had decreed
for him, but that they have lifted up
their hands against the sacred majesty
of the law and treated it with contempt
and contumely. Such crimes as that
committed by this negro naturally ex-
cite the strongest Indignation, and
every offender should be promptly
punished. But the punishment Of
crime belongs to the law, and no mat
ter how vile and abominable the cul-
prit, no man or set of men can under
take to superscde its authority without
being guilty ofvirtual rebellion against
the society of which they form a part.
What is needed in all such cases is the
prompt legal punishment of offenders
Justice following swift and certain
upon the commission of the crime
Passion and violence begct like mani
festations and do not cure the evil at
which they are aimed"
