THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1887.

It has been a frequent remark, in mticism ot the alleged looseness with which the business of the Patent Office is conducted, that comparatively few patents will stand the pressure of a determined legal investigation without revealing some Haw or irregularity fatal to their validity. Statistics, however, do not bear out this assertion. It seems that from the years 1776 to 1835 suits were brought tc test the validity of 983 patents. Of this number only 268 were annulled while 714 were daolared valid in whole or in part. According to these figures 73 per cent of the patents upon which suit was brought were sustained and of oourse there were thousands of others left entirely undisturbed. This is not a bad record for the Patent Office.

ITALY'S Queen lately sent a novel she had written to an Italian publisher. It was sent anonymously so that the publisher did not know that he was rejecting royal writing when he returned it to the author as being unworthy of issuanoe in book form. When it leaked out, as such secrets always will, that the Queen had a novel of her own writing in manuscript, she was at once besieged with offers from publishers. Not one of them cared a cent for the contents of the book. They e-pec ted the toadies to buy it for its authors sake. Title pages are seldom adorned with so high a title as that of Queen.

BE had thought of a good thing at breakfast, he said,addressing the assembled editorial talent,and had dropped on his way up town to tell it. He had discovered that the letter "s,"which, by-

the-by, said looked amazingly like the dollar mark (8), would, if properly used, have saved the Fidelity bank at Cincinnati from ruin. The horse editor pricked up his ears at this. He is a callow youth and on the lookout for "straight tips," as he calls them. He Had several "tips" at the state races which were so straight that be has had to economise lately and is unusually wide awake when anything is said about money. So he brightened up perceptibly when he heard that the proper use of so insignificant a thing as the letter "a" could have saved a great bank from ruiu and wanted to know immediately how that could be. Well, said the caller, if the vice-president of that bank had pnt a letter "s" in front of his name that would have made him SHarper and if he had been sharper he never would have tried to fill the Chicago rat hole with Cincinnati money. And then he laughed, {but a melancholy fell upon the office dense enough to cut with a knife and the horse editor swooned. A half bottle of Mustang liniment had to be poured down the poor youth's throat before he revived sufficiently to call for water.

AN ex-rebel who is now a Republican is a patriot of the purest ray serene in the eyes of candidate John Sherman An ex-confederate who is a Democrat is a traitor and a villain of the deepest dye according to this same John Sherman. For President Cleveland to appoint one of this latter olass to office is to encourage treason and put a premium on disloyalty. For a Republican President to appoint an ex-rebel to office, provided only he is a Republican, is patriotism pure and undefiled. Thus when President Grant appointed Mosby to a foreign consulate Senator Sherman voted for his confirmation with cheerful alacrity. And yet, next to the Guerrilla Quantrell and Wirtz, the ineffable scoundrel who starved and shot our poor prisoners at Andersonville, this same Mosby was the most cold-blooded and cruel ruffian that bore arms against the government. Bepentant or unrepentant, with or without the oath of allegiance and irrespective of anv parly to which he claimed to belong his record, got as a rebel but as a violator of the rules of civilized warfare, should have forever barred him from an appointment to any federal office. When he voted tonfirm Mosby Senator Sherman took up his residence in a glass house and ordinary prudence would suggest the propriety of bis not throwing stones.

OF swindlers and swindling there seems to be no end. With some persons a dollar secured in devious ways is as preoious as a dozen made by honest labor. They are aa prone to cheat their fellow mortals as sparks to fly upward. And to their devioes for doing this there seems to be no limit. A new soheme has just been exposed by the Waynetown Hornet. It is ingenious as most of these projeots are and have to be in order to be successful. The Hornet tells of its working in the vicinity of Waynetowa as follows:

For the last three weeks parties in Kansas have ben sending letters to farmers and business men in this state that are perfect swindles. Last week Uncle Georg* Green received one, it said that a young man who had been working on a large ranch had been thrown from a pony and instantly killed and that he was not known by anyone on the ranch. The only information bein,* an unfinished letter addressed to Mr. George Green, Waynetown, Tnd., and from the writing it was supposed he resided near this place. The writer said he had paid the funeral expenses and that if Mr. Green would send him the amount 14.75 that he would s»nd the young man's watch which was gold and his revolver so that it could be plaoed in the hands of his relatives, rhs letter was signed Sect. Wichita, Kan., land and cattle company, A ocpy of this letter has bees sent to parties all over the state with no other intention thin getting $4.75 from them and in some cases reported the money has boen sent. It is a fraud and should be looked after by the authorities.

THE fellow who said it was impossible to punish a rich rascal in this

OOTID

try

was a liar and tlie truth was not in him. Jacob Sharp's conviotion is the latest of a multitude of instances in recent years that the mills of the Gods grind with their old time fineries, that they are not nearly as slow about it as they formerly were and, most pertinent of all, that their favorite grist is the wholesale dealer in rascality who has feathered his nest by plucking the feathers from a whole community of geese. In flight, not fight, is their only safety and when our reciprocity treaty with Canada is revised on the basis of oommon sense and common honesty flight will be a difficult matter. A poor devil throwing himself on the mercy of the court has a better show than a big thief before a jury.

The order made by the board is as follows: "James Hook, the contractor for furnishing the material and performing the carpenter work at the new Court House, having now received the full amount dne him for such work and materials,

It is therefore ordered that no farther estimates be granted to him on said oontract and that he be so notified."

Superintendent Stansfield is quoted as saing that it would take $4,0U0 additional to complete the contract. Captain Hook is a good builder, has in fact put up a large number of the leading buildings here, including the Opera House, but he almost invariably bids too low and loses money or would lose if sums were not advanced on the original oontract price. In the present instance he bid $8,400 to furnish the material, lumber and hardware (locks etc.) and do the inside work in the court house. The next lowest bid was $14,000. Of oourse the contract was let to Mr. Hook, as he is an old citizen and filed a perfectly responsible bond On account of the great difference in the bids it is claimed by the frieods of the bondsmen that an extra allowance should be made to enable him or some one else to complete the contract. It is thought a great hardship that two bondsmen should have to assist in building the court house.

On the other hand it is urged that this would be a dangerous preoedent and that bonds are required for the express purpose of compelling the fnlfillment of contracts. By such underbidding other bidders are deprived of contracts at whioh they might have, made'money while oausing the commissioners no annoyance and the county no

That Pimento Relitrious Debate. Editor GAZETTE: Through your kindness Dr. Mattox and myself were allowed to call the attention of the public to a proposed discussion of differences in dootrine and practice between the churches with whioh we, respectively stand identified. And I now desire a word of explanation whioh, we hope, will be final.

Mr. Treat of Martinsville, Ind., and Mr. Potter of Cynthiania, Ind., were obosen as representatives in every way capable to discuss these questions to the edifidation of the people. But DrMattox informs me privately that the Baptist ohurch at Pimento have, on their part refused to entertain the discussion. Whether this grows out of tbe fact that Mr. Potter has agreed to defend "Baptist Succession," or for fear of the results of such a debate (on general principles) we are not informed. But, at any rate, the "back down" is complete. This we regret, for we regard Mr. Potter as the ablest Baptist debater in the state, and withal a very fair man. But his friends have taken offright and, for the present, there is no hope of a discussion. We exonerate Mr. Potter from all blame in the matter, and only desire the public to know why the debate has failed to come off aocording to the agreement.

Very respectfully your friend, June 27 tb 1887. W. P. SXKOUB.

fBE GAZETTE: TERRS HAUTE,. INDIANA, THURSDAY. JULY 7.1887.

M: UnZi.,

It has been known for some time that James Hook, who has the carpenter work contract on the new court house, would fall far short of completing the contract for the sum specified in his bid, which was $8,400. It is calculated that not less than a gross sum of $12,000 or $14,000 will complete the contract, or four to six thousand additional. The board of county commissioners on Monday last made an order declining to allow any further estimates to him on the ground that he bad already received the full amount specified in the contract. The actual amount drawn by Mr. Hook is $8,655.99, or $255.99 in exce&s of the contract. Mr. Hook's bondsmen, Daniel Reibold and C. W. Brown, are naturally much interested in the matter, as the loss will fall on them if Nr. Hook does not himself complete the contract.

CLAUS SPRECKLES.

Supar Monopolist, Accused of Attemoting to Incite Rebellion In the Little Kingdom.

There unquestionably is trouble in Hawaii, but its extent, and whether it is dangerous or not, does not yet appear. Arms are being shipped to the islands in considerable quantities, and two warships are said to have been dispatohed to King Kalakua's dominions by British Government. It appears to be pretty well established that the King has disaffected subjects, and enough of them .to create uneasiness. They are said to be chiefly foreigners, and to be only a small proportion of the population.

The assertion is made that Claus Spreckles, the American sugar monopolist, is t'ying to preoipitate a revolution, or at least to create an outSide impression that Kalakaua's throne is unsafe. At one time he and the King were friends, and he has lent His Majesty, it is

Baid,

over a million dol

lars. These two men have quarrelled, and if Spreckles wants to injure Kalakaua seriously, he. of all men, has the power to do it. The treaty between Hawaii and the United States operates virtually to give Spreckles the entire sugar trade of the kingdom. He is rich, and commands incalculable influence there, and is reported to have boasted on one occasion that he carried the King and the Legislature in his pocket, and could do what he pleased with tbem.

The man who is said to have made this foolish boast is a native of Hanover, Germany, poorly educated and of humble origin. He cama to the United States about 1830, and opened a grocer's store in New fork city. When California became the shrine towards whioh myriads of pilgrims travelled in the hope of wealth. Spreckles joined the great procession. He opened a grocer's store in California, and made money fast. A later venture was to buy an interest in a brewery. After a few years he sold out, a large gainer, and invested his money in the bnsiness of refining sugar. He now controls the sugar business of the Pacific coast, and, as before stated, has the monopoly of the trade in that staple with Hawaii.

When Spreokles was a poor young man be married the woman who is now the wealthy Mrs. Spreckles of San Francisco, but who was then a German girl iu domestio service. They have four sons and one daughter. The father and sons are popular members of the Paoifio Club of San Francisco.

The Fidelity Officers Deeper in the Toils.

The Government to Prosecute the Cases Vigorously.

CINCINNATI, June 30.—United States District Attorney Burnett today requested Commissioner Hooper to increase tho bond of E. L. Harper, late Vice President of the Fidelity National Bank, to $200,000, and that of Beoj. E. Hopkins, late Assistant Cashier, to $100,000, and it was done. This action confirms the fict that the policy of the government is to deal with the strictest severity with all who are culpable in the Fidelity catastrophe.

The District Attorney today filed proceedings brought by the Comptroller of the Currency to forfeit the charter of Fidelity National Bank and wind up the affairs of the corporation.

Mr. J. F. Larkin, who yesterday resigned the Presidency of the Cincinnati National Bank, has executed mortgages to all his creditors upon all his real estate. He transferred to the bank yesterday apiece of real estate valued at $65,000.
