Hayti Must End Anarchy

intervene in Haytain affaris. An ulti- matum will be delivered to that country on October 1, demanding that the anarchy reigning there shall cease within thirty days, failing which the United States will step in and enforce order. This is the conclusion that has been reached by the president after carefully studying the situation and consulting with cabinet officers and senators. He is satisfied that the trouble there cannot be settled without the intervention of a strong power. ,.and that this duty falls upon the United States rather than upon any European power.
 The German gunboat's action in destroying the Crete-A-Pierrot came dangerously near involving the United States with Germany. Certain ele- ments in Hayti are doing their best to bring about such complications. The president. fears that prolonged confu- sion in the island may bring about a controversy with some European power: and feels that the interests of that country are best subserved by prompt settlement of Haytis troubles, even though :.force may be necessary to- ac- complish this end.
 Three elements in the island are endeavoring to embroil this country with Germany, in order to bring about intervention by the United States. These are business men, who are threated with ruin by the chaotic con- ditions second, foreigners, who for years have been scheming to obtain concessions for railroads and other enterprises; and third, three parties in the field, any two of which will stir up trouble if the third gives signs of gaining control of affairs. The business element has already made representations to Minister Powell, which lave been forwarded to the state department.
 The president, according to persons who are in his confidence, believes that by reason of the operations of the Monroe doctrine, the United States is morally bound to preserve order in Hayti, if its people cannot do it for themselves. It is not his intention to acquire the island, but certain officials in the State Department are of the ;opinion that such will be the eventual outcome of intervention, even though the intervention is friendly and disinterested. Haytians are ex- tremely hostile to American control and would be suspicious of any inter- ference, probably to the extent of open revolt. Secretary Moody is fully ad- vrised of the situation, and is in readi- ness to act promptly upon the expira- tion of time set for an ultimatum. The disposition of the Atlantic fleet is such that the ports of Hayti could immedi- ately be taken, and some sort of gov ernment established without dely un- less, as is feared, the Haytians them- selves attemt to resist the United States.
 The proposed course of the presi- dent has met with the approval of every senator with whom he has consulted. The matter is to be dis cussed in detail the president having asked Senators Allison, Platt of Con- necticut, Aldrich, Spooner, Lodge and Hanna to visit him. Lodge and Spooner are members of the Committee on Foreign Relations. Platt is con- sidered the ablest man in the senate in regard to our relations with the Antilles.

ENGLISH P1TENT LAWS.

Inventors and manufacturers In the United
States may find 1t To their advantage to watch
the progress of a scheme to reorganize the
patent system of England. The fact that the
practice of the two countries is different in
many respects is of little account. perhaps, be-
cause the points of dissimilarty are well recog
niZed. But inasmuch the custom Of taking
out patents abroad as well as at home Is stead
lily growing in favor on this side Of the At
lantic, any material alteration of foreign laws
in relation thereto may appreciably affect Amer
lean interests.
commensurate with the agitation which has led
the government TO take the matter up. The
movement will hardly be without result, how
ever. Some of the proposed amendments have
been advocated by such leaders of science as
Lord Kelvin and Sir William Crookes and
others have been backed by captains of in
dustry" whose names are known all over the
civilized world. All of these suggestions have
not been embodied in the bill that has now
gone to Parliament but the discussion In that
body promises to be animated, and the measure
may be made more radical before it is finally
enacted.
One feature of the bill as it now stands is a
close imitation of American usage The chief
condition on which patent is granted at Wash
ington is the novelty of the invention. In order
to ascertain whether this exists an elaborate
search of the Patent Office records is made BY

SOnE WATER EXAMPLES.

The movement toward Kidding London of the
tyranny of private water companies and giving
il municipal supply has not Yet been crowned
with complete success. though that it will be IN
the near future seems well assured. Meantime
1t has ELECTED some interesting and instructive
revelations of the ways and means of water
companies and of the contrast between their
service and that of well appointed municipal
systems London ii will be remembered. is the
only large city in England or in the British
Isles that has remained dependent upon private
water companies. 1t may be added that of all
those cities il has the poorest supply, in quail
ity and quantity 1t will be instructive TO note
some of the financial features of the case.
In Birmingham under municipal ownership,
the water supply costs consumers 81 40 per
capita yearly and pays nearly 100000 year
into the city treasury. In Manchester the cost
per capita is 81 80 and the municipal profits are
more than $4,000 year. In Glasgow water
costs consumers only 81 a year each and pays
profits to the city treasury of nearly 100000.

A NEW INAUGURATION DAY.

The national committee. which has been in
sense directing the movement for q change Of
the date of the Inauguration of Presidents from
March 4 10 the latter part of April is appar-
entity hopeful of practical results from its
labors There would seem 30 be no doubt that
the scheme long advocated in a somewhat list
less manner, now commands a considerable de-
gree of public interest. The Governors of most
of the States have consented TO serve on the
committee. and their approval Of the projected
change may perhaps fairly be assumed TO indi-
cate the existence of a favorable sentiment
throughout the country. Heretofore the pro-
posal has failed of adoption. not because it
has aroused formidable opposition but because
f. has not commanded that resolute and con-
tinuous support the part of powerful public
men which is essential 10 any remodelling of
our national institutions. and without which q
scheme involving a constitutional amendment
can hardly obtain a hearing. 1t is universal
ly conceded that March is an unsuitable
date for an open air celebration at the ma
fional capital. it is always reasonable 10 ex-
pect bad weather in Washington at that sea
son. and the expectation is frequently fulfilled
with lamentabe completeness. If there is no
positive proof that the first Harrison died in
consequence OF his exposure TO the elements on
the day Of his Inauguration. ii is certain that
many Presidents have risked their lives for the
sake Of following the custom and gratifying
their fellow citizens; that vast numbers of spec
tafors Of the quadrennal show have suffered
manifold distresses. and that physicians and
underfakers have been almost the only benefi-
Charles of an ancient mistake
Until now those who have interested them
selves IN the project under consideration have
generally recommended April 30 as the best
date for future inaugurations, partly for the
sentimental but respectable reason that Wash
ington took his first oath of office President
on that date, which is as likely also as any
other TO satisfy the requirement of favorable
meteorological conditions. But the committee
promoting the change has abandoned that
choice and agreed On the last Thursday in
April. on the ground that II is advisable TO adopt
q day in the middle Of the week, for the con-
venience Of travellers and In order to preclude
IN occasional postponement on account of Sun
day These are considerations Of some impor-

tho examiners The same thing will now De
done in England The change Will Involve au
ditonal labor and expense on the part Oh tne
government, and these may add to the amount
of the fees eXacted. The applicant Will doupt-
less meet the additional charge cheeriuily'
though because his patent, if he gets one at ali'
will be a quasi guarantee of the originality OIL
his invention. and thus enable him to make oet-
ter terms with a manufacturer. 1t has occa-
sionally happened in the United States that the
courts fnvalidate a patent. The issue of such
a document to q man is BOT an aDsoiuteis

search. with special reference to novelty, has
been made by the government is unquestionably
an advantage to the patentee. The adoption OF
this plan. therefore. Is distinct Improvement.

of the proposed law which seeks to insure the

a German or an American to take out patent
in England, manufacture his invention only III
his own country. and then persuade the Engnsh
to import his goods The existing statutes Ill
rect that an Englshman who is DESTROYS or 90

machinery for doing so moves slowly, now
ever and in consequence the law is practically
a dead letter English manufacturers have long
felt sore over this defect in their patent system
They hold that the latter should not only en-
courage ingenuity, but should also build up
home industry and look to the employment or
British labor. Such a view of the matter savors
of protection. perhaps, and if it is made effective
by Parliament n few American manufacturers

one.
