The OIdeat Patent.

The question as to the holder Of the
eldest patent in this country has brought
out from the heirs Of Joseph Jenoks
some additional facts which tend to
show that he was the first inventor in
this country Patents granted from the
sovereign power Of England for land,
water and other privileges were not un-
common In early colonial times Joseph
Jencks of Lynn, Mass, a number Of
years previous to receiving patent for
an invention of scythe had been
granted one for IAN application Of wa
ter power to mills. Biographical notes
state that Mr.. Jencks introduced TO the
Massachusetts colony the idea of patent
ing inventions, and that he might pro-
teot and introduce his ideas seems to
have been reason for coming to the
new country. The grass soythe patented
in 1862 was perhaps the most valuable
of his inventions The improvement
over the old English soythe, with it's
short, thick blade, like bush scythe,
consisted In frightening the blade,
making it thinner and welding square
bar at the back and strengthening it.
Today this soythe, practically unohang-
ed, is used in Europe and America. The
patent was withheld from Mr.. Jenoks
for nine years. as 1t was thought to be
too valuable to be monopolized. Hart

presented to him by the state Of Louis

honor of doing most of the work on the
sword presented to you by the state Of
Louisiana. I should like to ask If it
was just as you would have chosen"

The average Democratic voter still
finds difficulty in getting it through his
head why an insignificant man named
Crane, whom he never heard of before
has been made the Democratic candidate
for governor. The Newark Daily Nea0s,
a widely influential independent journal,
thus explains the affair: On his merits
and popularity, Mr.. Crane would never
have had a ghost of chance of being
nominated for governor of New Jersey
by the Democratic party in this year
1898. He is practically unknown in the
state, outside Of Essex county. AS can
didate before the people he is untried
Outside of Essex he had strength for one
reason alone, the fact that Senator Smith
finally decided in favor of his nomina-
ton for governor. The reason why Sena-
tor Smith wanted to have him nominated
is plain. Senator Smith is extremely
anxious to elect seven Democratic assem-
blymen from Essex county next Novem-
Der. An Essex candidate for governor
might help him do that, particularly an
Essex man at the expense of whose can
didacy the assembly ticket can be assisted.

REPUBLICANS must be pretty hard press
ed when they are compelled to rush to a
Democratic newspaper to explain their
position. In the Herald last week, one
who claims to be Republican, had a
communication referring to the recent
caucus in Mansfield, In which lot of
soreheads, with more desire for personal
revenge than for party success, defeated
Assemblyman Wright for delegate to the
State convention. If those fellows would
apply the same energy toward beating the
Democrats, it would be more to their
credit but they seem to be bent only up
on raising mischief in their own ranks
and aid the Democrats by helping to edit
the papers of that party AS in other in
stances those who are foremost In the
matter are persons who have been fed lib
orally from the public crib
