The He publican ad ministration has been elected under a pledge to the people to reform the tariff and its duty to this country is to proceed alxiut that business at the earliest possible moment and eith >r to keep its pledge or make it manifest that it Is impossible to do so.

The director in his report states there Is no doubt that the silver coins of the fritted Staten are now )«*ing counterfeited, exactly similar to the genuine in size, weight and devices. Some of these coins cannot be distin guished from the genuine, even by ex perts. A very dangerous counterfeit silver half dollar has made its appear ance in the East and West, the weight of which is 192 grains, with n fineness of .867%, while the weight of the gen uine is 192.9, of the fineness of .900. The profit to the counterfeiter is now about 100 per cent. So far, the best known protection against the counter feiting of coins has been found to be the lettering placed on the edges sim ilar to that on the first coinages of the United States, or of the 5-franc piece of Fiance.

RuCCURC^o OF ALABAMA. Recited in the Inaoffnnii AddrfM of Governor *IoIin*ton. Governor Joseph F. Johnston was In augurated governor of Alabama Dec. 1. Before taking the oath of office he de livered a long address, sounding the keynote of his administration, which Is to promote the development of Ala bama's resources and Improve the con dition of her people. Speaking of the resources of the state he said: "With an area of but little more than fifty thousand square miles, there Is no territory of like size In the known world so prolific In the variety of Its resources; were a wall erected around our state, cutting off all access, we could produce within our borders everything necessary for the comfort or convenience of man. Great veins of Iron ore and seams of coal put at our command almost boundless re sources In fuel, Iron, and steel. Splen did forests of yellow pine here stand ready to build homes for millions of people. Building stone and marble, fire clay, kaolin and lime exist In great abundance; walnut, maple, oak, cherry, ash and other hard woods await the hand of man for manufacture or the adornment of our homes. In the pro duction of pig Iron we take rank as the fourth state In the union; In iron ore, third; In coal we stand fifth; In the production of cotton, fourth, and In Its manufacture, fourth. In lumber we are near the head of the list. It would be unjust should I fall to In clude In our minerals copper, lead, graphite, marl and gold; Indeed, the only mineral that we seem to be with out and to want most Is silver. Leav lng forest and mine and coming to our fields we find that they produce gen erously cotton, corn, wheat, rye, oats, tobacco, rice and the grasses and here Is the home of the pear, the peach, the grape and all small fruits. Vegetables are grown with great success, and this Industry Is steadily developing. Our splendid rivers, the Alabama, Coosa, Tallapoosa, Warrior, Cahaba, Illgbee and the Tennessee, are the liquid ar teries of the commonwealth, fed by In numerable creeks, all fruitful In power to convert our raw products Into arti cles of merchandise. Over 3,000 miles of railroads traverse our state from north to south, and east to west, fur nishing quick transportation to market for our products. When we come to cur climate we find that the Giver of all good things has not stayed His hand, and that He has blessed us with opportunity to labor twelve months In the year without detriment to health or comfort. Indeed, we can scarcely ap preciate the blessings we enjoy In this respect when compared with Ibsb fa vored regions, for even now we are seemingly unconscious that roses are blooming In our gardens, and the fra grant air is sweet with their perfume. • * • With a profound gratitude to the God of our fathers, that our lots have been cast In this sunny land, let us beseech Him to send warmth and vitality and enduring growth into every field of endeavor, that will make us strong to accomplish the things that make a state loved at home and re vered abroad.” Fitzsimmons In Court. Man Francisco, Dec. 5.—Bob Fitz simmons, through his attorney, com menced suit in the Superior court to restrain the Anglo-California bank from paying Sharkey the 310,000 purse awarded the sailor by Referee Karp.

In connection with the charges of pernicious activity in politics, it is claimed that Mr. Allen, us editor of his paper, has allowed no opportunity to pass for roasting Presi dent Cleveland und all of his friends.

Leland of Iowu asks: “Is there any law or decision to prevent any per son from making and using a patented article for himself only, although he have not got permission of the owner?" Yes. A patent gives the owner the exclusive right to make, vend and use the invention for seventeen years. Xc person has a right to make und use a patented invention for his own use without a license. If one person could do so every other person would have the same privilege, anil a patent for art invention that can be easily made would go into general use without profit to the patentee. A patent has been allowed to F. C. Stevens of Sac City. Iowa, for a hose nozzle adapted for throwing a straight solid stream, a radiating spray or sheet all around, a spray and solid stream at the same time, or a spray only half way around, at the pleasure of the operator.
