It seems that the constitutionality of
the supreme court commission has not
been definitely settled, for the Missouri
Pacific railroad company has taken steps
to carry the matter to the United States
supreme court. When that court passes
on the point litigants may know what
authority the commission has to review
cases.
The Sntrar Bounty.
Omaha Bee.
It is to be hoped that the decision of
the democratic members of the ways and
means committee, to retain raw sugars
on the free, list, reduce the duty on re
fined, and not to abolish the bounty at
once, will be sustained by the house.
There ought to be no doubt that this de
cision will be concurred in by the repub
lican members of the committee and of
both branches of congress, for it ia at
once a concession to republican policy
and an act of justice to an important in
terest which promises to become in a few
years the source of generous prosperity
to a very large number of our people.
The redocticn of the duty on refined
sugar from One-half of a cent to ona
fourth of a cent per pound would not
make any material difference in the
revenue from this source. ' The proba
bility is that the imports of refined sugar
under the lower rate would be consider
ably increased, and this could hardly fail
to be the case unless the price of sugar
should be reduced to a figure with which
the foreign producer could not compete.
In that event the 'whole body of sugar
consumers would be benefitted. Reduc
ing the duty on refined sugar and retain
ing raw sugars on the free list would un
doubtedly force tbe Sugar trust to lower
tne price, and it is to be presumed that
everybody not interested in the trust
would be satisfied with such a result.
Tbe policy of the present tariff law re
garding sugar has not operated to the
benefit of the consumers to the extent
that vas expected. The trust has been
able to continue its exactions and to
make an inordinate profit. Any lepsla
tion which will deprive this monopoly of
tbe power to plunder the public will be
universally approved. If that proposed
should fail to accomplish this another
congress may find it expedient to'put all
sugar on the free list. , t :
' A to the bounty it would manifestly
be a gross injustice to those ulo have
invested their capital in tlie business of
tevekjping tbe sugar industry to at once
strike down this support to their enter
prise. They were induced to embark
their capital in tbe business by, tbe as
surance that the bounty would be con
tinued for a sufficient 'period to' demon
strate whether the production of sugar,
particularly beet sugar, could be devel
oped to such an extent as to become a
valuable national resource. A brief ex
perience with the industry under the
th&ulatiag influence of the bounty war
rmsie the belief that this can be done and
fOmi before the expiration of ten years
tits United States will produce, if this in
tm) he properly fostered, a very con
stimbU proportion of the sugar coti
aanaai by the people. In the meanwhile
defskyiueut of the industry must
aariassrily tend to prevent any extreme
(Oat sa tbe price of sugar, either as a
mmnnmm of monopoly or diminished
tKpf elsewhere. ' Of course the true

PATENTS.

. There never wu a time in the history of
our country when the demand for Inven
tions and improvements in the arts and sci
ences generally waa so (treat a now. The
conveniences of mankind in the factory and
work shop, the household, on tlie farm, and
in official life, roqnlre continual accessions
to the appurtenances and implements of
each in order to save labor, time and ex
pense. The political change in the admin
istration of government docs not effect tbe
progress of the American inventor, who be
ing on the alert, and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, docs not peruiif the
affairs of government to deter him from
quickly conceiving the remedy to overcome
existing discrepenclcs. Too great care can
not be excercised in choosing a competent
and skillful attorney to prepare and prose
cute an application for patent. Valuable
Interests have been lost and destroyed In
innumerable instances by the employment
of Incompetent counsel, and especially la
this advice applicable to those who adopt
"So patent, no pay" system. Inventors
who entrust their business to this class of
attorneys do so at iinnieneiit r'-jk, as the
breadth and strength of the patent Is never
considered in view of a quick endeavor to get
an allowance and obtain the lee then due.

Sioux county is the northwest county
of Nebraska. It is about thirty miles

Its grasses are the ricbost and mobt nu

it is unexcelled.
The soil varies from a heavy Htiv to a
light sandy loam and is ca4.hle f pro

The principal crops are small Krain

The county is practically out of debt
and has over forty-live miles of railroad
within its borders, has a good brick court

been one dollar of counjy bonds issused
and hence taxes will be low.
The Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri

Would you like to make twenty-live;
hundred dollars? If you would read
carefully what follows and you may see j
a way to do it. j
The Pre Claim Company devoeU
much attention to patents. It has hand
led thousand of applications far inven
tions, but it would like. ' to handle
thousands more. There is plenty of in
ventive talent at large in tha country
needing nothing but encouragem&nt to
produce practical results. That encour
agement tho Press Claims Company
proposes to give.
:;or no hard as rr kerhs.
A patent strikes most people as on
appallingly formidable thing. Tha idea
is that an inventor must be a natural
genius, like Edison or Bell; tlmt he must
devote years to delving in complicated
mechanical problems and that lie must
spend a fortune on delicate experiments
before he can get a new device to a pat
entable degree or perfection. This delu
sion the company desires to dispel. It
desires to get into the head of the public
a clear comprehension of the fad that it
b not thegreat, complex and expensive
inventions that bring the best returns to
their authors, but the little, simple anil
clieap ones the things that seem so
absurdly trivial that the average citizen
would feel somewhat ashamed of bring
ing them to the attention of the putunt
ollice. ,
Edison says that the profits he has re
ceived from the patents on all his mar
velous inventions have not been suffi
cient to pay the cost of his ex eri merits.
But the man who conceived the idea of
fastening a bit of rublier cord to a child's
ball, sthat it would come back to the
hand when thown, made a fortune out
of his scheme. Tlie modern sewing
machine is a miracle of ingenuity
the product of the toil of hundreds of
busy bruins through a hundred and fifty
years, but the whole brilliant result
rests upon the simple device of putting
the eye of the needle at the point in
stead of at the other end.
TUB 1JTTLK TUI50S THE MOST VALUABLE.
Comparatively few people regard
themselves as . inventors, but almost
everybody has been struck, at one time
or another, with ideas that seemed cal
culated to reduce some of the little fric
tions of life. Usually such ideas are
dismissed without further thought.
"Why don't the railroad company
make its car windows so that they can
be slid up and down without breaking
the passengers' backs?' exclaims the
traveler, "if I were running the road
I would make them in such a way."
"What was the man that made this
saucepan thinking of?' grumbles the
cook. "He never had to work over a
stove, or he would have known how it
ought to have been fixed."
"Hang such a collar button!'1 growls
the man who is late for breakfast." "If
I were in the business I'd make buttons
that would'nt slip out or break off or
gouge out tho back of my neck."
And then the various sufferers forget
about their grievances and begin to
think of something else. It they would
sit down at tlie next convenient oppor
tunity, put their ideas about car win
dows, saucepans and collar buttons into
practical shape and then apply for pat
ents, they might find themselves as
independently wealthy as the man who
invented tlie the iron umbrella ring or
the one who patented the fifteen puzzle,
A TKHPTLNO OFFER.
To induce people to keep track of tlieir
bright ideas and see what there Is in
them, the Press Claims Company has
resolved to offer a prize.
y To the person who submits
to it the simplest and most
promising invention, from a
commercial point of view,
tbe company will give twen-tp-five
hundred dollars in
cash, in addition to refund
ing the fees for securing the
patent
It will also advertise the
invention free of charge.
This offer is subject to tbe following
conditions:
Every competitor must obtain a pai
ent for his invention through the com
pany. He must first apply for a pre
liminary search, the cost' of which will
be five dollars. Should tbe search show
his invention to be unpatentable, he can
withdraw without further expense.
Otherwise be will be expected to com
plete bis application and take out a pat
pense, including government and bupaau.

Thi is a competition of ratlur u un.
usual nature. It is common to uflW
prizes for the bast story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of lelr ftml t,a
successful one merely sellrr.g his for the
amount of the pris. Hut the Press
Claims CaiuMiy' offer ' something en
tirely different. Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to.
be rewarded for doing it. Tlie prize is
only a stimulous to do something that
would be well worth doing without it.
The architect whose competitive plan for
a olub house on a certain corner is not
accepted lias sjient his labor on some
thing of very little Use to hint. But tho
person who tenU a simple and useful
device in the Press Claims Company
competition, need not worry if he fail to
secure the prise. Ho has a substantia!

will command its value in the market at
any time.
