Editor The Washington Herald.
The Washington Herald of the 11th OF

trast between the patriots of "ye olden
time" and those Of the present. The
writer tells of the services Of Christopher
Columbus, VINO discovered the Land of
the free and home of the brave" and
was satisfied with the per annum salary
OF $32o
This picture of a unique immolation.
self-denial, and courageous enterprise
should not be forgotten, nor how the
great rulers Of Spain, Ferdinand and Isa-
bella, pawned their Jewels to raise funds
with which 20 equip this small expedi-
ton which accomplished such heroic re-
suits, when our present rulers are cry
ing out for a great navy and ships
and subsidies galore which never yet
have accomplished the results those three
ships effected. May the good Lord keep
the American peoples heads level The
question arises, Where is this nation
drifting to, and when shall We be ship
wrecked on the rocks and ragged shores
Of destruction. which this ruthless dis
regard OF the expenditure Of the reve-
nues Of our government will finally force
US TO? These revenues come from the
grinding taxation of the toiling masses,
while our Congressman are crying out
for more pay.
Simple American life is good enough
for them. No need because they 90 10
Congress that they should join in the
who can afford to give precedence and
practice to spectacular and Floro5ora
exhibitions. These members of Congress
very soon after their arrival in the
metropolis become infected by the fad
Of automobiles. French maids. and chefs.
They represent the common people and
have no business with such, for their
plain duty is 70 look after their Constitu-
ents and keep these milli1naires from
defrauding the people Of their just rights
in this Land OF the free and home Of the
brave But instead of that the social
bee" gets into their heads and minds, and
they have to have more money TO demon
strate their ability 10 be participants, if
not leaders, in social circles. This is not
what they are commissioned by their
people to do. 1t is their business to en-
force laws which stand in the statute
for the protection of our humblest citi-
zens, and not go hobnObbing and trading
for personal advantage with their tempt
ers, who have all the money they want
and more 10 corrupt honest men.
Truly we have. as a people, departed
from our ancient renOwn when our
rulers are clamoring for more pay. This
call Is discouraging and mOrtifying 10
those who have sent them there 10 de
fend and protect their equal rights Pub
lie officials get now more than they earn
or deserve The subalterns and people
whose noses are to the grindstOnes, who
have to pay enormous prices and taxes
TO keep up this royal panorama ought

GRAPHOPHoNE COMPANY WINS.
Gets Three Favorable Decisions I'm
Patent Litigation.

H c. Grove, manager of the Washing
ton Office Of the American Graphophone
Company. said yesterday that his COM
pany had been awarded three separate
decisions in the United States Court Of
Appeals Of New York, Of much interest
to the talking machine trade and to the
holders Of the stock OF the company in
this city.
The rival companies engaged in the
manufacture Of disc sound records said
Mr. Grove, the American GraphOphOne
Company, makers Of Columbia records.
and the Victor Talking Machine Com
pany, which manufactures Victor records,
have both sought TO obtain control of the
business under the patents respectively
owned by them.
After a long and interesting litigation
the court has sustained the GraphOphone
C0mpanys patent and given it a broad
construction so as 10 cover all disc rec
Ords as now made in this country, and
in separate decision has held that the
material used in Columbia records does
not infringe the Victor patent.
The effect Of these decisions will be TO
give the American GraphOphOne Company
complete control Of the manufacture and
sale of disc sound records in the United
States The Victor company has secured
a license under this patent"

INADEQUATE APPROPRIATION.
Board of Charities Says Hospital BIZ
Does Not Provide Funds Enough.


The Commissioners yesterday reported
unfavorably on House bill 2O255, ''Estab-
fishing in the District of Columbia a
neurological hospital for the insane, and
for other purposes" The bill carries with
1t an appropriation OF S5o0.c00 for the con
struction and furnishing of the necessary
buildings
The Board Of Charities, to whom the
bill was referred by the Commissioners
for report states that the number OF in
digent insane in the District of Columbia
is at present about ZOO. At d very low
estimate il would cost 5000 per bed to
provide accommodations for these pa
tents. or Sl,2OO,OOO. 10 say nothing Of
equipments. 1t would cost at least
10000 to erect and furnish buildings
for the care of the INDECENT insane. which
Is three times the amount specified in the
bill.
The estimates for the fiscal year 1903
include an item Of 5000 for modification
and improvement of the old almshouse
building at the Washington Asylum for
the purpose Of providing temporary care
for acute cases OF insanity so that such
persons as recover within a compare
lively short space OF time may be re-
turned to their homes without being COM
mitted as insane persons. It Is pro-
posed to provide for inebriates at the
same institution
The Board OF Charities suggests that
some economy might be effected by pro-
viding an institution where persons suf-
fering from senile dementia and other
harmless cases Of a more or less chronic
nature might be cared for at a less cost
than that charged at the Government
Asylum for the Insane. A hospital for
the purposes indicated, they say, should
be erected as soon as other more urgent
needs have been provided for.
