City Attorney Connell has put a de-
cided quietus upon the smallbore
schemers who are trying to vent their
spleen against Mayor Moores by making
deductions from his salary warrant for
the few days which he has been con-
fined to his house with serious illness
Omaha never had mayor who devoted
more time and attention to the public
business than Mayor Moores. If the
council wants to go into the docking
business it should begin at home and
start on the salaries of its own mem
bers, not one of whom would be exempt
from the enforcement of such a rule.

The courts are finding holes in the
interstate commerce law faster than
congress can possibly patch them up.
The facility with which lawyers when
they become judges can find flaws in
laws which they themselves in many
instances assisted in framing is de-
cidedly discouraging. The public may
not be blamed for thinking that even
the judges themselves could not frame
laws they would be willing to stand by.

NOVELTIES IN INVENTIONS.
No Decndencc of the American Habit
of pntenting.

New York Sun.
Recently a disappointed inventor lamented
/ the decay OF American ingenuity because OF
the alleged supineness of the Washington
patent Office and the greater security and
protection given byi'it to foreign inventors
abroad, but this diseouraging view is not
sustained by the facts. So far from dec in
ing in number and Variety there seems to
have been a decided. increase in the de-
velopment of ingenious or curious devices
submitted to the government for entry and
register. .rr
For instance, a Vermont man has applied
for letters patent on a mechanical device
under the workings of which a bell rings
automatically when the water in which
eggs are boiled reaches the ebulliticn point
An inventor at Helena Mont, has patented
horseshoe sharpener. Two women of Har-
risburg, Pa, have patented, jointly, a.
Serving maids stepladder," guaranteed no
to upset when in use. Wisconsin man
has patented collapsble coffin, separated
into subsections and as portable as a hand
satchel. Minnesota man has patented
disappearing visor or peak whereby me-
chanically soldiers hat may be turned
into polo cap by pressing a button to be
found over the left ear. more practical
invention is that of an axe the handle of
which is held in position by roughenel
metal handlehole, which makes Slipping
off, impossible, and a Rhode islander has
devised an electric nail, the attractive power
of the head of which gives inordinate power
to the hammer As yet we have heard of no
patent for any contrivance to prevent stove
pipes from separating into their customary
joints when handled by a househoder.
Obviously, then, there has been no decadence
in Americans of the patentng habit, ana
assertions to the contrary are no more
credible than the war news of a k,ffir
runner.

An Interestirg Idol.

Attorney Atkinson, who has taken
a great interest in Hawaiian curios,
has secured an idol which recently
was found in the EVA District,
where virgin soil was being ploughed
and turned over.
The idol is Of very ancient date
and the Ohia wood in which it is
carved has become black from the
water aud moist soil which perhaps
for centuries have covered it.
The idol is fine specimen how
ever, and all experts have proclaim
ed it most valuable find. 1t is for
tuuate that Mr.. Atkinson happened
to be on the spot when the relic was
found or some superstitions native
might have destroyed it.
Mr.. Atkinson purchased the idol
at onre and il he should be willing
to part with it, it is hoped that the
Bishop Museum will secure it, or
that it will 60 to one of the private
collections of Hawaiian curios.
The features OF the idol reminds
