An Idaho Invention.

We take pleasure in calling the at-
tention OF the public To an invention OF
Thomas Elliot, OF Rexburg, Idaho, for
which patent has recently been al
lowed. The device Is such that any
one can instantaneously open, with the
single movement OF the right hand,
any book Of consecutive entry to the
page on which he Il going 10 work.
The idea has been used by several
large firms in Idaho and Utah for the
past six months, and the testimonials
from these firms frankly state that
books manufactured hereafter, having
this device attached, will be used Ia
preference to any others.
New inventions generally meet with
more or less opposition, but this one Il
remarkable, In the fact, that IL meets
with universal appreciation from all
who become familiar with il.
Correspondence has been opened I'm
with several large firms looking to a
contamination OF contracts giving them
authority TO use the invention. We
are satisfied that IL Is well worth the
attention OF any book manufacturer
who desires 70 furnish his patrons
with something that is OF the mos,
practicable, useful, convenient and
time-saying device brought TO the az.
tention Of bookkeepers. For simple.
lily and practical utility It canno, be
over-estimated.
The invention Is owned by Messra
Thomas Elliott, George B. Rogers and
Lorenzo II. Thomas, and these gentle.
men, under the firm name OF Elliott.
Rogers 4 Thomas, will at once take
steps to place the invention before the
public.

s+~ JNO. G. BROWN.

THE following extracts are taken
from the Chicago Tammany Magazine:
'.No principle OF politics can live
without men 20 impart heart and soul
to It. No principle Of politics deserves
TO survive that cannot command al
ways and ever the respect, confidence
and undivided support OF patriotic cit
liens. This IL the essence, this Is the
foundation stone Of true Democracy.
Any sentiment that falls short OF this
splendid ideal in its practical workings
Is sham.
sThe doctrines enunciated in the
National Democratic Convention Of
1885 stand unchallenged in their essen
tial truth. and eternal right, before the
world They voice the beliefs Of our
people-the common people Of our be-
loved country-as against corporate
greed, capitalized corruption, organ
lied and Incorporated appetite; and
they speak out in tones never TO be ST.
fenced by the tom-toms Of protected
robber haFons, the brass bands OF le-
galized trusts, or the cymbals Of Wall
street stock iobbers."

THE proposition for a union Of the
silver forces and for state and county
tickets pledged to an honest and eco
nomicai government may meet with
opposition from some office-seekers, be-
cause these would lessen their chances
for nomination, but such opposition
would be as idle as "a painted ship
upon painted ocean" The man who
will stake his personal interest in get
ting an Office against the best interests
OF his county and state is unworthy oil
an Office. This is the year when the
fittest should win. and will win.

Washington, July 2s.-The French
embassy has called the attention or the
state department to the circumstances
connected with the seizure OF the
French merchant steamship Ollnde
Rodriguez, and has requested the I'M
mediate release of that steamer. The
action was taken simultaneously with
a protest from the French Trans-Atlan-

seizure. The department has submit
ted all the pa pers in the case to the de-
partment OF justice. with a view or get
ting an opinion on the legal questions
involved.
The grounds of the representations
by the embassy are that the Rodriguez
was engaged in ordinary mercantile
pursuits, and also had on board the Of
icial mail Of the French government,
destined to the French minister at Port
au Prince. IT is said that her manifest
shows she was not intending to enter
a blockaded port. The representa-
tions are hose usually made in behalf
of French interests. and there Is no
disposition at the state department to
regard them as other than a friendly
inquiry.
