H.—Not much, wife; only about one thousand dollars. (Wife thinks and husband contin ues reading his Journal.) W.—Say, pa, what did Mr. Usury want this morning? H.—He wanted to loan me $10,- 000 for twenty years at 5 per cent interest payable semi-annually; both principal and interest payable in gold. W.— But, pa, you don’t need it, as, you can easily borrow of your neigh bors to pay what you owe, and you surely are not going to borrow that much money, are you? H.—I have decided to be.row the $10,000 of Mr. Usury. Wr.— Why, pu? H.— Why? Well, because he wants me to. He says it will be a good investment for him, as the proceeds of the farm are ample to meet the interest, and the farm itself is good for the principal. W.—But, pa, we don't need the money. The proceeds of the farm will more than pay expenses, and the surplus stock we now have will more than pay your debts. What will you do with the money, pa? H.—Lock it up in our big safe in the bedroom and call it our “ reserve fund.” WT .—But, pa, why should you put me and our children and our grand children under obligations to Mr. Usury for twenty years simply to have such a useless and unnecessary thing as that “reserve fund?” Pa, I don’t believe you like me and the children as well as you do Mr. Usu ry’s people. [Wife begins to cry.] H.—Say, ma, don’t cry. You see you don’t understand the money question. I read the Journal and it says that such a financial policy is right. The government has beei following it for years. John Sher man, John G. Carlisle and Wall street men say it is the correct thing, nnd I have concluded to run our business on the same line. I see by the Journal that “ a national debt is a national blessing,” and since n na tion is but a family on a larger scale, why should not a family debt he a family blessing? Again the Journal j says, and it never lies, that “debt is ! an evidence of prosperity,” and j hence it follows that the bigger the debt the greater the prosperity. I could, I suppose, get alrtng without the “reserve fund,” hut Bly. Usury wants a good, safe place for his money for a long time, so he will not have to bother with reloaning it every few years, will be drawing him interest in good, honest money; so, for his accommodation, I have decided that we will brace up, aud for the brief period of twenty years, carry an “evidence of prosperity.” [Wife calls in the neighbors and the family doctor, and the sanity of the husband is investigated.]—Ex. payment of an extra cent’s worth of interest. HOW CAN THE GOVERNMENT DO IT. In the first place we have been unable to find a single line of road in the United States that is paid for, and if they ever are paid for the people will have to do it with high freight rates. The problem is easily solved. We are informed by the public prints that there are now 153 railroad companies in the hands of receivers. When a railrond or tele graph line goes into the hands of n receiver the court appoints the man aging officer and that road is then under government control. If a general law was passed that would provide that whenever any railroad company was found to bo incompe tent to protect the interests of the investors therein aud shall he placed in the hands of a receiver, a board of competent appraisers be ap pointed who shall ascertain the total valuation of all the property belonging to the company and also all debts of every kind and decide on the per cent on the dollar that the company can pay its creditors. The road should then remain in the hands of receivers in perpetuity, who should set aside all of the net earn ings of that road aud apply it year by year on the debts of the company. In the course of time the road will pay for itself in freight rates and pas senger fares. Now, after the road is paid for, who should own it, the men who wrecked it, or the people who paid for it? The old party lead ers, not the voters, say Messrs. Van derbilt, Gould it Co. should own the road, because they built the road nnd wrecked it. But, sir, the people having paid for the road, in all jus tice and equity the road should be long to the people. The innocent purchaser of stock and bonds of American railroads should he protected and their earn ings returned to them (all except such as have been robbed from thorn by railroad wreckers) nnd the Goulds and Vanderbilts should receive their share of the value of the roads. Some such carefully diawn law that would give railroad investors their rights and not rob the people of theirs, is the demand of the hour, and we believe that some such law will ho passed into effect just as soon as the voters understand the question and discontinue the prac tice of electing railroad attorneys to legislative offices.—Allen (Neb.) News. GENERAL NEWS. How Can Governments Buy Railroads? A short time ago only a few men could be found in any community who would honestly admit that they favored the government owner ship of railroads, and many who are now opposed to that idea don’t want the government to go into debt to the enormous extent of purchasing the railroads of this country, watered stock and all. Neither do we. Neither do we ad vise the wholesale confiscation of the railroads. The roads can be Absorbed by the government in a term of years without the expendi ture of an extra dollar for their pur- v hasc. the issuing of a bond or the Farmers' Tribune: The best argu ment we have yet heard in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver is the hitter denunciation of this measure by the hunkers. Na ture's first law is self-preservation. That is good for the banks, hut hard on the other fellow. Give us the dollar of the daddies for the people and let the hanks howl.

New York, Sept. 10.—The inves tigation of the police department * hb resumed tisiay by the Lexo-v committee of the state somite. Mr Goff was inquisitor-in chief. He first stretched Detective Sergeant Charles A. Hanley upou llte rack. The Itandsoiue gold watch which Hanley carried served for a text for Goff's mtei rogations, which I were directed to showing the police were U|s>n too friendly terms with the pa»nbrokers for the good cf ! the public, and that it was not ui- | common for pawnbrokers to sell officers valuable articles at ridicu lously low prices. Goff also ques tioned Hauley as to bis relations with Jimmy McNally, well known as “Green Goods Jiiu,” the inter rogations implying the thief-taker had accepted gifts at the hands of the man whom he deuouueed as a thief. The detective was asked if he ever received money from Mc Nally, and made an equivocal answer. This was followed by the question if he had not received from McNally two handsome ban quet lamps. His reply was: “I don’t know anything about the lamps. My wife got them.” stoned a king. Berlin,' Sppt. 9.—The Frank- forter Zeitnng publishes a report of a hostile demonstration agaiust King Alexander of Servia recently.

A DRUGGISTS’ BOYCOTT. Ashvjlle, Sept. 8.—The Ameri can Pharmaceutical Association today voted to boycott manufac turers who furnish physicians with their manufactured products for use in dispensing prescriptions. Another action taken was with ref. erence to the recognition of the profession of the plian acy in the •irmy and r.avyof the United States. The conventicn then adjourned. A MEAN SUBTERFUGE.

There was never a time in the his tory of our country when the de mand for inventions and improve ments in the arts and sciences gen erally was so great as now. The conveniences of mankind in the his tory and workshop, the household, on the farm, aud in official life, require continual accessions to the appurtenances and implements of each in order to save labor, time aud expense. The political change in the administration of government does not affect the progress of the American inventor, who being on the alert and ready to perceive the existing deficiencies, does not permit the uffairs of the government to deter him from quickly conceiving the remedy to overcome existing discrep ancies. Too great care cannot he exercised in choosing a comjictent and skillful attorney to prepare und prosecute an application for patent Valuable interests have been lost and destroyed in innumerable instances by the employment of incompetent counsel, nnd especially is this advice applicable to those who adopt the “ No patent, no pay” system. Inven tors who entrust their business to this class of attorneys do so at im minent risk, as the breadth and strength of the patent is never con sidered in view of a quick endeavor to get an allowance nnd obtain the fee then due.

The said company is pre pared to take charge of all patent business entrusted to it for reason able fees, and prepares and prose cutes applications generally, includ ing mechanical inventions, design patents, trado-marks, labels, copy, rights, interferences, infringement«, validity reports, and gives especial attention to rejected cases.

A “ Reserve Fund.”Wife—Pn, what is our farm worth?Husband—About fifty thousnud

dollars.W.— Are you in debt, pa?H.—Not much, wife; only about

one thousand dollars.(Wife thinks and husband contin­

ues reading his Journal.)W.—Say, pa, what did Mr. Usury

want this morning?H.—He wanted to loan me $10,-

000 for twenty years at 5 per cent interest payable semi-annually; both principal and interest payable in gold.

W.—But, pa, you don’t need it, as, you can easily borrow of your neigh­bors to pay what you owe, and you surely are not going to borrow that much money, are you?

H.—I have decided to be.row the $10,000 of Mr. Usury.

Wr.— Why, pu?H.—Why? Well, because he wants

me to. He says it will be a good investment for him, as the proceeds of the farm are ample to meet the interest, and the farm itself is good for the principal.

W.—But, pa, we don't need the money. The proceeds of the farm will more than pay expenses, and the surplus stock we now have will more than pay your debts. What will you do with the money, pa?

H.—Lock it up in our big safe in the bedroom and call it our “ reserve fund.”

WT.—But, pa, why should you put me and our children and our grand­children under obligations to Mr. Usury for twenty years simply to have such a useless and unnecessary thing as that “ reserve fund?” Pa, I don’t believe you like me and the children as well as you do Mr. Usu­ry’s people. [Wife begins to cry.]

H.—Say, ma, don’t cry. You see you don’t understand the money question. I read the Journal and it says that such a financial policy is right. The government has beei following it for years. John Sher­man, John G. Carlisle and Wall street men say it is the correct thing, nnd I have concluded to run our business on the same line. I see by the Journal that “a national debt is a national blessing,” and since n na­tion is but a family on a larger scale, why should not a family debt he a family blessing? Again the Journal j says, and it never lies, that “debt is ! an evidence of prosperity,” and j hence it follows that the bigger the debt the greater the prosperity. I could, I suppose, get alrtng without the “reserve fund,” hut Bly. Usury wants a good, safe place for his money for a long time, so he will not have to bother with reloaning it every few years, will be drawing him interest in good, honest money; so, for his accommodation, I have decided that we will brace up, aud for the brief period of twenty years, carry an “evidence of prosperity.”

[Wife calls in the neighbors and the family doctor, and the sanity of the husband is investigated.]—Ex.

HOW CAN THE GOVERNMENT DO IT.In the first place we have been

unable to find a single line of road in the United States that is paid for, and if they ever are paid for the people will have to do it with high freight rates. The problem is easily solved. We are informed by the public prints that there are now 153 railroad companies in the hands of receivers. When a railrond or tele­graph line goes into the hands of n receiver the court appoints the man­aging officer and that road is then under government control. If a general law was passed that would provide that whenever any railroad company was found to bo incompe­tent to protect the interests of the investors therein aud shall he placed in the hands of a receiver, a board of competent appraisers be ap­pointed who shall ascertain the total valuation of all the property belonging to the company and also all debts of every kind and decide on the per cent on the dollar that the company can pay its creditors. The road should then remain in the hands of receivers in perpetuity, who should set aside all of the net earn­ings of that road aud apply it year by year on the debts of the company. In the course of time the road will pay for itself in freight rates and pas­senger fares. Now, after the road is paid for, who should own it, the men who wrecked it, or the people who paid for it? The old party lead­ers, not the voters, say Messrs. Van­derbilt, Gould it Co. should own the road, because they built the road nnd wrecked it. But, sir, the people having paid for the road, in all jus­tice and equity the road should be­long to the people.

The innocent purchaser of stock and bonds of American railroads should he protected and their earn­ings returned to them (all except such as have been robbed from thorn by railroad wreckers) nnd the Goulds and Vanderbilts should receive their share of the value of the roads. Some such carefully diawn law that would give railroad investors their rights and not rob the people of theirs, is the demand of the hour, and we believe that some such law will ho passed into effect just as soon as the voters understand the question and discontinue the prac­tice of electing railroad attorneys to legislative offices.—Allen (Neb.) News.

How Can Governments Buy Railroads?

A short time ago only a few men could be found in any community who would honestly admit that they favored the government owner­ship of railroads, and many who are now opposed to that idea don’t want the government to go into debt to the enormous extent of purchasing the railroads of this country, watered stock and all. Neither do we. Neither do we ad­vise the wholesale confiscation of the railroads. The roads can be Absorbed by the government in a term of years without the expendi­ture of an extra dollar for their pur- v hasc. the issuing of a bond or the

STOOD IN WITH THIEVES.New York, Sept. 10.—The inves­

Hanley upou llte rack. The Itandsoiue gold watch which Hanley carried served for a text for Goff's mtei rogations, which

I were directed to showing the police were U|s>n too friendly terms with the pa»nbrokers for the good cf

! the public, and that it was not ui- | common for pawnbrokers to sell officers valuable articles at ridicu­lously low prices. Goff also ques­tioned Hauley as to bis relations with Jimmy McNally, well known as “Green Goods Jiiu,” the inter­rogations implying the thief-taker had accepted gifts at the hands of the man whom he deuouueed as a thief. The detective was asked if he ever received money from Mc­Nally, and made an equivocal answer. This was followed by the question if he had not received from McNally two handsome ban­quet lamps. His reply was: “ Idon’t know anything about the lamps. My wife got them.”

PATENTSNOTICE TO I.WIYIIRK.

There was never a time in the his­tory of our country when the de­mand for inventions and improve­ments in the arts and sciences gen­erally was so great as now. The conveniences of mankind in the his­tory and workshop, the household, on the farm, aud in official life, require continual accessions to the appurtenances and implements of each in order to save labor, time aud expense. The political change in the administration of government does not affect the progress of the American inventor, who being on the alert and ready to perceive the existing deficiencies, does not permit the uffairs of the government to deter him from quickly conceiving the remedy to overcome existing discrep­ancies. Too great care cannot he exercised in choosing a comjictent and skillful attorney to prepare und prosecute an application for patent Valuable interests have been lost and destroyed in innumerable instances by the employment of incompetent counsel, nnd especially is this advice applicable to those who adopt the “ No patent, no pay” system. Inven­tors who entrust their business to this class of attorneys do so at im­minent risk, as the breadth and strength of the patent is never con­sidered in view of a quick endeavor to get an allowance nnd obtain the fee then due. THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY, John Wed- derburn, General Manager, C18 F street, N. W., Washington, D. C., representing a large number of im­portant daily and weekly papers, as well as general jteriodicals of the country, was instituted to protect its patrons from the unsafe me:hods heretofore employed in this line of business. The said company is pre­pared to take charge of all patent business entrusted to it for reason­able fees, and prepares and prose­cutes applications generally, includ­ing mechanical inventions, design patents, trado-marks, labels, copy, rights, interferences, infringement«, validity reports, and gives especial attention to rejected cases. It is also prepared to enter into competi­tion with any firm in securing for­eign patents.
