expended thousands OF dollars in de-
tending the products Of his inventive
skim and laOorious experimentation on
" to nnd in many instances that the
infringers succeeded in enriching them.
selves from his invention while he was
waiting upon the slow and tedious
processes OF the courts
MIR. Edison fought in the courts Of
this country for fourteen years and
spent one million dollars trying to es-
tablish his claims to the little mean
descent lamp, although his claim had
been protected" by letters patent from
the patent Office. At the expiration Of
the fourteen years there were but three
years left for the patent to live. Speak
ing OF the impoteney of our patent sys-
tenn. Mr. Edison said;
An inventor has no show these
days, The moment he invents some
thing that is an epoch marker In the
world Of commerce or science there are
pirates who spring up on all sides to
contest his rights to his ideas. These
pirates can readily get millions at
their back. They so TO the courts and
enjoin the inventor from using his own
creation. The inventor always gets the
worst Of it in the courts, even though
he may hold in his hand the patent
from the United States government"
The inventor is entitled TO full pro-
lection Of his ideas and devices against
infringement. and If the present laws
are inadequate they should be strength
ened. 1t may be necessary to make
suit for infringement criminal instead
OF a civil action. 1t is not easy to
difCerentiate between the theft Of
mans invention and the theft Of bis
money. The people are not prepared
to assent to the populist idea that pat
ents create monopolies and therefore
should be abolished.

BRYAN LOSES FAITH.

An invitation to give his views on
the wisdom OF asking the Beers to
enligrate to the United States has
drawn from William Jennings Bryan a
Macedonian cry" to them to come over
and save America. He said:
I wish they could come soon enough
to help save this country from the i'm
psrlalism that is driving them from
South Africa"
1t win be dark day for this coun-
try when 1t has to ask Boer or BritOn
to come over and save it from itself.
for seIf-destruction is the only peril
that can threaten this republic.
When one reflects that the Beers in
South Africa fought not for liberty but
for slavery. not for justice but oppres-
sion. not for equal political and social
rights but for taxation without repre-
sensation. not for government by the
people for the people. but Of the people
by corrupt military oligarchy-it is
difficult to comprehend Mr. Bryan's
anxiety that they should come over
and save this country.
There can be no objection to inviting
individual Beers to emigrate to the
United States. But when they do come
they win be required to submit to the
laws that recognize no abridgment of
the rights of citizenship ION account
Of race, color or previous condition of
servitude." They will have to take
their chances along with 7S.OOO.OOO other
Americans. and they viii have to beat
their Maussrs into pruning hooks If
they wish to avoid being run over in
the race.

The idea is becoming more general
among democratic politicians that a
man from New York state must be
nominated for viee-president. The lead
ers argue that such a nomination would
greatly improve the chances of carry
ing New York for Mr.. Bryan, and
that as New York must be carried to
elect democratic president, the only
thing TO do is to choose some demo-
crat from that state upon whom all
factions can unite. Elliot Danforth is
most prominently named. o. H. P.
Belmont is ambitious. and the fact
that he could make a large campaign
contribution does not hurt him. Judge
Parker still has advocates. and George
B. McClennan enjoys boom, and Rep
Sulzer has an ante-boom.

All arrangements for the republican
national convention at Philadelphia are
completed. The convention hall will
seat sixteen thousand people. the stage
alone giving seats for fifteen hundred.
The hall is admirably ventilated; the
press facilities and telegraph accom-
modations are splendid. In fact. those
who have visited Philadelphia and
inspected the convention hall say 1t is
better than any previous hall occupied
by a national convention. Judging by
the way in which hotel accommoda-
tions have been gobbled up. there will
be an immanse crowd in attendance.

EDISON ON THE PATENT LAWS.


The action Of Thomas A. Edison, the
famous inventor. in allowing seven Of
his patents upon his electric devices
to expire without making any attempt
10 secure renewals is a matter Of con-
siderable interest to the mechanical
and scientific world. and suggests that
the action Of the populists in demand
ing the abolition Of all patents may af-
ter all have been pervaded by more
sanity than appeared on the surface.
Millions of dollars were made out
Of these patents by the corporations
that have operated upon the Edison
systems while they were under the pro-
lection of letters patent ISSUED by the
government. These inventions now be-
come public property, and anyone who
chooses to embark in the enterprise may
derive profit from the inventive gen.
ius and labor of the wizard of Menlo
Park.
The reasons assigned by Mr.. Edison
for his disinclination to apply for fur
ther governmental protection from in
fringements must attract the serious at
tention of inventors and legislators.
1t is we'll known that Mr.. Edison, from
long and costly experience. does rot
place a high value upon the govern
ments guaranty against infringement
as embodied in letters patent. He has

KILLED IN THE WOODS.

Last Friday while James Whiting
ham was at work in the woods near
Norrie he was struck by a falling tree
and was so badly injured that he died
on Sunday
Deceased was comparatively a young
man, being about 80 years of age and
was married, and by his death leaves a
wife and three children and also par
ents, living near Norrie. He was an
engineer by trade, but not finding work
in his line that suited him, he conclud
ed to work in the woods during the
winter Not having a knowledge of
the work, and being unfamiliar
with the woods, is probably res
ponsible for the accident occurring,
for he had worked not quite day when
he was struck.
The tree struck him across the Shout
ders and neck, and although medical
assistance was summoned, it was plain
to be seen that the man could not live,
and nothing could be done except to
relieve his suffeFings as much as posi-
Die for the short time he had to live.
The funeral will take place tomorrow.

NEW INSTITUTION.

w. III. Deakin, of Lima, Ohio, has
been in Wausau the past week making
arrangements for the starting of new
store. The only trouble which he has
encountered is to secure rooms large
enough, in the right place. He found
pretty close to what he wanted aud
with the proposed addition, hopes to be
able to have one the largest stores in
Wausau and one in which he will have
no trouble to display goods He has
arranged for the store now being built
by G.. Anderes, on Scott street which is
80x100 feet, TO this will, in time, be adj
ded another story which will also be
used by Mr.. Deakin From 1870 to 1880
Will Deakin resided in Wausau and is
therefore well known TO many of our
citizens. He is a brother of Mrs. D. w.
Parcher who resides here. For thirteen
years Mr.. Deakin has been in charge
and was one of the owners of one of the
largest furniture aud house furnishing
institutions in Lima, Ohio. This bust
ness was sold out last summer and inn
after Mr.. Deakin came to
Wausau to look over the situation with
a view to locating. He decided at that
time to come and has since been max
ing the necessary arrangements. He
departed for his home on Saturday and
will spend his time, the next eight
weeks in selecting his stock, moving
his family to this city and he expects to
be able to open business about March
