EDITORIAL LETTER. .
WASHINGTON, D. 0., Feb. 10, ’90;
DEAR GAZETTE :——Tbe triumph of Speak-
er Reed‘s common sense position that
when a member is in his seat he is present
whether he answers to the roll call or not,
was made finally triumphant by the pres-
ence of a full quorum of his own party
and all sustaining him. The whole coun-
try has become tired and sick of the con-
ditions, which have for years obtained in
the lower house of of congress, whereby a
minority on mischief bent,or a disgruntled
individual, could arrest all legitimate busi-
ness and deprive the House of any power
to act. In the last congress it was the
republican party in the minority and seek—
ing every possible parliamentrv advantage
over the democrats. ln tnis congress the
conditions are reversed, and the demo-
crats adding all they had learned from the
republican minority of last year to their
own special talents as obstructionists had
determined in advance that neither should
the new set of rules for the government of
the House.prepared by the majority, nor
he consideration of any contested election
case, whereby a sitting democrat could be
unseated, be considered so long as they
could by filibustering defeat both. It is
but another effort of the democracy to
carry out the old, Old game of “heads I
win, tails you lose." In the present case
their hostility cannot avail if the republi-
cans have a quorum present when the
question is finally settled. The people
will be glad that rules are to be adopted,
and the public desires a House of Repre—
sentatives that has not voluntarily relin—
quished all its legislative functions, is
sufliciently strong to prevent any general
protest against rules that tend to enable
the House to do business. The chagrin
and mortification felt by the average
democratic congressman over Reed’s sig—
nal triumph is aptly epitomized in the
following incident reported to the Post .°
“Where are you democrats going to let
Reed drag you ?” said a “majah” to a
democratic congressman in frt-ut of Wil-
lard’s yesterday.
“Don’t ask me,” replied the congress-
man. “I am like the Irishman who was
leading a bull into a small country town.
Pat was going along smoking a short clay
pipe, with the end of the rope, (the other
end being attached to the bull’s horns),
wrapped around his. wrist. Suddenly the
bull threw up his 1.1L..tl and started on the
run down through the town. He first
whipped Pat around one corner and then
around another. ‘
“‘Whei'e are you gorug, Pat?‘ asked
one of his friends.
“ ‘Bedad, i don’t know; ask the bull,’
shouted Pat.”
A camp“ or PATENTS.
Commissioner of Patents Charles E.
Mitchell, of Connecticut, sent to congress
last week the annual report of his bureau
he is by law required to make. It
is a carefully prepared and unusually
interesting and valuable paper. In pre-
faclng the account of the Operations and
needs of his bureau he calls attention to
the fact that this is the hundredth year of
the American patent system. The num-
ber of patents granted during the first
year was three. The number granted
during the first fifty years was 12,421.
Since that time, under the act of 1836 and
subsequent statutes based upon the same
general principles, ahiarveious growth
has attended the system—a growth that
has been signalized by the corresponding
development in every department of
American industry. So vast has this
growth become that during the last calen—
dar year—a year nearly coincident with
the centennial year of the patent system
nearly 24,000 patents were granted,
making the whole number of mechanica
patents granted prior to January 1, 1890:
428,622. The number for the entire cen—
tury, ending April 10, 1890, with approxi—
mate 437,000.
During the last calendar year 22,080
patents were issued to citizens of the
United States, including 224 to citizens of
the District, and 2,003 were issued to
citizens of foreign countries. In Connec—
ticut one citizen out of every 700 got a
patent; in the District, one in every 792;
in Massachusetts, one in every 873; in
New Jersey, one in every 1,086; and in
Rhode Island, one in every 1,115. These
were the states receiving the greatest
number of patents in proportion to popu-
lation. The least inventive state was
Mississippi, where only one person in
23,574 received a patent. The commis-
missioner says :
“From the cODSideration of the fact that
inventors and persons interested in inven-
tions have during the past year paid into
the Treasury of the United States the sum
of $228,772.09 over and above all the cur-
rent expenses of the patent office I turn to
the consideration of its pressing needs.
“The first need of the office is additional
room. Iconld afford to be silent upon
this subject in View of the urgent words
on behalf of the patent office of the honor-
able Secretary of the Interior in his recent
report if it were certain that my silence
would not be misinterpreted. The pres-
ent situation is most deplorable. Almost
literally speaking the patent oflice is
crowded into a corner of the noble build-
ingwhich was paid for by its patrons and
which bears its name. The necessity for
more room and better facilities has been
urged upon congress by commissioner
after commissioner and has become more
imperative every year.
‘ “The subject is one in which the deepest
interestis felt _by inventors and by the
very large portion of the American people
who are directly or indirectly interested
. in inventions.
feeling that the large excess of fees over
expenses should be devoted to affording
facrlities for the conduct of the business
of the office. There can be no doubt
" There is a widespread .

, .
i whatever that this feeling isa: reasonable
one.”
He also urges an increase of force.
“The work of examination,” he says,
“cannot be conducted under whip and
spur. Its very nature implies delibera-
tion. No matter how extended or care-
ful the investigation, if one decisive an-
ticipating reference is overlooked any
patent that may be granted is worthless.”
It is not surprising that a distinguished
statesman, late prime minister ofEngland,
recently said of the United-States: “In no
one country, I suppose, is there so careful
a cultivation of the inventive faculty.”
' CONVENTIONS.
Washington has unquestionably become
the fashionable “convention” city of the
republic, as it has long since become the
universal Mecca to which bridal pairs
“most do congregate” from every state in
the Union and many European countries.
During last week such important gather-
ings were held here as the National Board
of Trade, the National Shipping League,
the National Guard Association, the Na-
tional Association of Post Office Clerks,
and the National Colored People’s Conven-
tion,and yet this city needs a large public
hall as sadly as Norwalk borough needs a
new hotel.
At the National Shipping League Con-
vention it was stated that the present con-
dition of the merchant marine of ., this
country is a standing menace to American
prosperity, and that if the carrying trade
ofGreat Britain were suddenly withdrawn
as in case of war it might be, there weiild
be a financial panic here. The question
of American ships for American cargos is
one of the higher economics, and no mat-
ter what the point of view of the citizen
on the tariff question may be, it should be
favorable to a restoration of the national
merchant marine. ' The chairman of the
committee on resolutions read the report
of the committee favoring action by con-
gress to restore the American merchant
marine. 1t recommends the House bill
known as the Farquliar bill subsidizing
American ships, on the ground that it
would place our marine on an equal foot-
ing with that Of other nations. It also
urges congress to improve the coast de-
fenses, both on the lakes and seaboard; to
build a strongjand efficient navy; to im-
prove our harbors, and tajcause all United
States mails to other countries to be car-
ried by American vessels, for which ser-
vice they are to receive just remuneration,
no matter how cheaply the ships of other
nations would performthe same service.
Dr. Sheldon Jackson, delegate from
Alaska, spoke of the greatness of that
land of sailors and boat makers. He said
that with the advent of the stars and
stripes the ship yards established by the
Russians before the purchase of Alaska
have all been closed. The system of
mails, too, is most inadequate. A small
Section. has two mails a month, another
small section but one, while a large part
of that great country is entirely without
mail facilities. The natives of Alaska are
natural born sailors and ship builders,
and with aid and education they could
man a navyin a manner unequalled by
the people of any nation.
A series of resolutions passed by a com-
mercial conference, held in San Francisco,
urging congress to protect and subsidize
American ships was read, when Irving
Scott, of California, said that his state
was interested in the purposes of the
league and was doing all she could to de-
velop and maintain the shipping interests
that are of so much value to that coast.
He also spoke of the necessity of subsidies
to a merchant marine. Concluding he
said : “I have circumnavigated the globe
and never seen but one American flag on
the whole trip, and that was on the ship
in which I sailed.”
Captain Slocum, the American sailor
who, when wrecked on the coast ofBrazil,
with the aid of his wife alOne built a small
Vessel and sailed home, was called upon
and made a few remarks urging the needs
of proper protection for the merchant
marine. He said that good sailors were
needed to man good ships. There are no
better sailors than fishermen, for the fish-
ery industry is the very nursery of the
sailor and there are no greater fisheries
than those along the shores of Alaska.
At the National Guard Association
statistics were 'given showing that there
are in the militia of the United States
with only a portion of the states heard
from, and the regular army not counted,
this great and glorious republic of ours
shows a fighting force of 8,052 officers
and 103,292 men, with a reserve of 7,352,-
171,
The conventiou of post office clerks
.c—ogsidered many questions affecting the
efficiency of the service as well as their
Wanamaker and First Assistant Post-
master-General Cla rkson heartily seconded
the objects and action of the convention,
and will aid them in securing needed
legislation by the present congress.
The Colored Convention adopted an
address to the people asking for fair
treatment and urging certain legislation
upon congress for their relief.
EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY.
Baron Fava, the Italian minister and
the dean of the diplomatic corps, has sent.
messages of condolence to Secretaries
Blaine and Tracy for their late bereave—
ments, to which Secretary Blaine very
very equuently and feelingly responded,
In this connection a staff writer on the
Post doesasimple act of justice to the
President, who too often has been accused
of being possessed of a consuming self
conceit and cold selfishness. The writer
says:—
It has been the fashion, with very little
foundation in fact, to speak of President
Harrison as a man- of chilled blood, and
lacking in human sympathy. His acts
this week in respect to the bereavement
own personal benefit. Postmaster-General
of members of his political family not only
give the lie to all such imputations, but,
in the opinion of the average citizen, will.
outweigh a thousand cold-shoulderings of
political bosses and all the chilly finger-
tips extended to importunatc office seekers.
President Harrison went himself with his
wife, instead of sending a clerk or a letter
of condolence, to the sorrowing Blaines,
knelt at the bedside of Secretary Tracy,
with his coat off, laboring with his cwu
hands to restore him to consciousness.
It was a thoughtful thing and genuinely
sympathetic to take the remains of Mrs.
'i‘racy to the White House, there to be
prepared for burial, and the President
gave a crowning evidence of his consider-
ate kindness in dismissing the rest of his
household and remaining up until half—
past one o’clock at night, after that long,
long day, to meet the stricken Secretary’s
son and make him welcome as his personal
guest. There is a tincture of old-fashioned
neighborliness about all this which will
touch the heart of the country.
FEMININE COURAGE.
In front of your cor-respondent’s resi—
dence one day last week one of a fine
pair of horses slipped and fell on
the slippery pavement and in its Struggles
to get tip its mate’s shoe caulk cut an
arteryi‘n the fallen one’s leg and it was
fast bleeding to death when a delicate
looking, fliixen-liaired lady, apparently
not twenty, in passing, halted and quickly
picking up a stick, stepped from the side-
walk to the wounded horse, whipped out
henda'iuty white handkerchief and in-
stantly tied it above the wound, inserted
her little stick, made a turnequet that
would have delighted Veterinary Surgeon
Bridges, and stannclied the Spurting
blood, and then tripped away, but she
had saved the valuable animal’s life. The
two older ladies in the carriage, who
looked on in amazement, simply exclaim-
ed: “Oh, my, how could she do it!”
It transpired that the young lady was a
Miss Clara Bates, a recent medical gradu-
ate.
“ALL’s WELL,” ETC.
Late Thursday p. In. the President sent
up a batch of appointments to the Senate,
and among them was that of Mr. George
B. Edmonds to be collector for the district
of Fairfield. This is the appointment
that so many earnest Bridgeport republi-
cans have felt was so unreasonably delayed
by the President. The democraticincnm-
bent was notified by the Treasury depart-
ment months ago that his continuance to
hold the office of assessor of the city of
Bridgeport would be deemed a resignatiOn
of the collectorship, as it was a distinct
violation of an order regulating his gov-
ernment office. No notice was paid to
the Treasury admonition by Mr. Goddard,
and no further attention was taken of his
continued malfeasance by the Treasury
department. Congressman Miles had early
recommended Mr. George B. Edmonds,
of Bridgeport, for the place, and never
doubted that when the President got good
and ready his endorsement would be lion-
orcd as it now has been. Later on Mr.
William E. Disbrow started out in a race
for the place, but failed to capture the
prize as Mr. Miles had already endorsed
Edmonds, and both senators and our two
remaining republican congressmen politely
declined to interfere with an appointment
strictly belonging to Mr. Miles’ district.
So “all’s well that ends well,” though
many of the President’s best friends and
supporters, who believe that he is
sure to do the right thing at last, are
decidedly of the opinion that he is too
prone not to do the right thing at the
right time.
Superintendent of Census Porter has
appointed Samuel M. Hotchkiss, the com—
missioner of the bureau of labor statistics
of the state of Connecticut, special agent
in connection with the collection of sta-
tistics Of manufactures.
Congressman Russell has also been suc-
cessful in swapping postmastcrs at New
London.
The Washington Star says that in this
country “office seeking has become a
disease.” It continues :
These “hustlers” after government po-
sitions are not as a rule vagabonds and
ne’er-do-wells. They are not dependent
on the public treasury for support. They
have something to do at home. The
trouble with them in many cases is that
they think they will exchange a life of
toil for a life of comparative comfort and
dignity of influence. Just here is. the great
mistake. Few government posrtions are
remunerative, but they create the disposi-
tion to spend quickly what is earned with
out a great struggle and the fellowship
principle that causes a man to do things
in the way of display above his real ability
because he sees others do the same thing.
The above sentiments would seem to be
in a measure verified by the fact that
among ahalf dozen appointments made
last week in the,1nterior department, one
was a lady from Wyoming, another a lady
from South Dakota, another a. lady from
Montana, and, last, a Miss Ball from
Alaska.
