The decision of Judge Treat in the United States circuit court at St. Louis , which was rendered last week , is a serious blow to the barbed wlro monopoly. Two years ago Judge Blodgott , of the federal circuit court , In Chicago , affirmed the "broad claim" of the patents hold by Wash- burn & Moons'of , Worcester , Mass. , for barbed fence wire. The decision assured roj allies to the amount of (2,000,000 ( annually , some say $4- 000,000. Judge Treat's opinion declares the claims under these patents Invalid. This mikes Inevitable ho appeal to the supreme court at Washington which the monopoly has > oen so long and so skillfully fighting , [ "ho practical result will probably bo ho overthrow of the patents anil a eduction in the cost of barbed wk-e , if Thlch 80,000 tons , or 600,000 miles , are used yearly , from ton cents o five or six cants a ponnd or lees. Fhero Is scarcely a farmer east or west , the cost of whoso fencing will not bo decreased by the probable re sult of Judge Treat's decision , while ho ozponso of Improving western ranches will bo cut down nearly one- half. O/dlnnrlly , in a patent case Invplv- ng million ? , an appeal from an nd- erse decision follows as a matter of course ; but Washburn & Moons , the owners of the vital Hunt & Glldden patents on which their monopoly rests , lave found It wiser , when a lower court had once given thorn a legal title , o open the deere and take In every rival by offering a share In profits argo enough to go around among the dozen firms parties to the Chicago suits. An agreement was then on- orod Into under which these contest ants agreed to soil the barbed wlro at a special rate , dividing the royalties upon the basis of their manufacture , In which , ho enormoni establishment of Wash- > arn & Moons on joyed superior ad vantages , Ono of these firms , at a ator stage in the negotiations , de mandcd and obtained an Increased share , a proceeding which led to an ntrloato law-suit for a now division of profits , brought by another firm In the monopoly. By the skill of tholr counsel and tholr own enterprise and illbloncy , the great monopoly has : iold its own against farmers' assocla- tlona all over the west , which have snacsslvoly succumbed , the only two surviving being one In Iowa and a mot of manufacturers In St , Lauls , who have won the present case. Jndgo Blodgott'a decision , upon which the monopoly rests , turned upon ; wo polute ; first , that barbing wlro for 'jnolng was a patontablo Invention and not a mere "device"and , oooond , ( hat the rolasno of the original patent to Gllddon wan valid In its enlarge ment of tha claim raado when the pat- out was first granted. It does not ap pear that Judge Trot ban pained upon the first point , nor that ho has dealt with the claim that barbed wlro had boon In use prior to the alleged discov- cry. Judge Treat has refused to for bid the St. Liuls defendants from con tinuing to make and sell barbed wlro fencing , upon the ground that the reIssue - Issue Invalidated the original patent by cx'ondlng it outoldo the limit ot the first specifications. Slnco Judge Bled gott rendered hla decision two years ago , the supreme court has used de cided languigo on the subject of rev Issues , and greatly restricted the loose doctrine accepted boforo. In a recent decision on turbine water wheels , and handed down kit winter on a now milling process , the Washington court ruled that the ro-lssno of a patent must bo limited to the earlier specifi cations. The application of this prin ciple has probably guided Judge Treal in deciding against a monopoly whoso profits have boon equalled by the spoils of few patents. < SECRETARY HIND , of the Connecti cut state board of education , has been tolling some unvarnished truths to the people of that part of New Eng land , whore ho Is engaged In educa tional work. He declares that the ad ministration of education In some parts of Connecticut has suffered greatly from neglect , that no less than two hundred country school houses are "poor , battered , rottou and un tidy , " that fifty-threo schools have an average of loss than throe scholars , and 352 have lost than ten , and that "thoro is actually a demand for poor teachers the pay not being sufficient to secure capable ) instructors , " Mr. Htuo , who will bo remembered as the principal ol our high tchool , no doubt contrasts the Interest taken in educational mat- torn In Oinneotlont with that which ho found In Nebraska. Wo scoured the seeds of our common school sys tem from Now England , but the plant has thriven best In western coll. It Is to that part of the country thai Ilea weal ot the Allegheny mountains that wo must look for the best common schools the most thoroughly equipped system of school administration and the larg est popular Interest in matters relit- ing to free education. The East la now supplied with Westers sapciin- tondeutr ; Western Instructions take the lead la the dhcnsilon of educa tional problem * In the proas and the convention , and Western sohpol methods are transplanted to Now England to take root , as the Qalnoy and the Parker systems in Puritan soil. soil.Mr. Mr. nine , who spent nearly three years with us hero In Omaha , is quick to BOO the difference between Nobras- tcn'a enthusiasm In educational matters and the apathy Into which Connecti cut has permitted herself to drift. Elonco his eye opener , THE STAR ROUTE TRIAX * The verdict of acquittal in the star ronto oases will surprise no one. Utovo Donoy expected it from the start. Bab Ingorsoll boasted of its anticipated arrival , and the entire gang of Brady's papers at the capital have bad their editorial comments on the result ready for nearly twelve months. The public which ordinarily finds no difficulty In seeing through a millstone with a hole in It , would have been most agreeably disappointed had the clerk of the court boon called upon to record a verdict of guilty , But they iavo had no reason to anticipate any such conclusion to the case. All the circumstances have com- Dined to favor the escape from justice of the gang of official thieves who robbed the government through cor rupt manipulation of the star routes. The atmosphere of Washington was alnted for years with tholr lavish irlbea. A chain of subsidized organs n the national capital joined In man ufacturing sympathy for the accused. The counsel for the defense were the ablest that could bo procured , while ho voluminous testimony bronght In ] y the prosecution and the endless speeches and arguments of the gov ernment lawyers , who were paid by the day , needlessly protracted the trial , disgusted the jury and preju diced them against the prosecution and its attorneys , Bat whlld the thieves oacapo the punishment of the law through a flagrant miscarriage of jostles , the verdict of public opinion will not bo reversed. No ono who has road the tontlmony upon which the Indictments were framed , or who has watched the course of the defense aluco the trial begun moro than a year ago , will doubt that Dorsoy , Brady , Minor , Valllo A Co , richly deserved the peniten tiary. Nor will any ono who has watched the rambling methods of the prosecution fool Inclined to question the statement made last week by a prominent government official , that under Drowsier and Bllas' conduct of the ciso a verdict of guilty would iavo forced even Bob Ingorsoll to bo- love ID miraIcs. WHILE the democracy are hunting around for a candidate for 1884 , the claims of Abram S , Howltt ought note o b3 overlooked. Mr. Hewitt h&s a argo bar'l.

TUB Now York corroupondont of the Philadelphia Record tclla a good story about Col , Tompklns , for a tlmo depot quartermaster In the former city dur ing the war. Ho had served for years ou the frontier , and had there acquired a blunt , brntqua manner. Ho had ono peculiar notion , in effect that women had no business with the army , either as nurses or negro mis missionaries or visitors. Nurses might bo allowed , but there was absolutely no exsnse for the otheri. The corre spondent was once in his office when the wife of Btlg.-Gon. Moallle swept In , gorgeous In silks and satins and diamonds and laces : "Col. Tompklns , " she said In a queenly way , "I want a permit to go to such and such a place In South Carolina , where my husband is stationed , on the troopship sailing to-morrow. " "Can't have It1 growl ed Old Cerberus , scratching away at his tiled-up papers. "Why not , I would like to Know } " asked the mag nificent Mrs. Mcalllo. "Ship's full , " responded Old Tompklnc ; "full of mon. " "But I must go , " said Madame ; "besides , hero Is my pass from the Secretary cf War. " ' Can't help It , " said the Oclonol ; "youcan't go ; besides , that's noplace for women. " Perhaps you don't know who I am ? ' said Mrs. Mealllo , bridling up with Indignation. "No , I don't , and I don't want to , " said the frank quartermaster , "Well , " eald madame , almost beside herself with rage , "I am Mrs. Brig.'Gen. Meal lle. " "I don't care If yon'ro Mrs. Brigadier Angel Gabriel , " snapped Old Tompklns ; "you can't go. " And aho didn't. Uollroad Storm In California. Cblctfo Trlluno. In recent Interview In Now York Leland Stanford , ono of the Central Piclfia syndicate , stld that the com- muntstlo spirit had died out of Cali fornia with the recovery from the panic that followed the oollapso of the great bonaEzi. By communistic spirit that gentleman means the spirit which has attempted to regulate the railroads and the other anti-social combinations cf capital In that state. By the same reasoning ho regards ai communistic the spirit which refuses to transfer to him and his associates the laud grant of the Texas Pacific , The lajcst news trom California Indi cates an Impending revival of this com- mnnlstlo spirit. A plpilar cyclone Is brewing in the air of California. A great mass meet ing was'held last ( Saturday ) night at San Jose by .the people of Santa Clara county , who hayo at lost risen In pop ular Indignation against the "out rageous exactions" of the Cen tral and Southern Pacific railroads. The call for the meeting was signed by hundreds of the leading mon , by ex-judges , mem bers ot the legislature , by republicans and democrats alike. This Is under stood to ba the first of a series of up risings that will extend all through the state. They will be specially aimed at procuring the Impeachment cf the railroad commissioners , who have proved themselves the tools of the Huntlngton and Crocker crowd. These demonstrations were suggested by the governor of the state , who Bays : "The anti-monopoly Issue Is the Issue of the ago. " It is an good a proot as any of the tightness of the grip which the a Irotd corner has on California that the rail road commission , which was thought to bo ono of the chief achievements of the now constitution , should have broken down so com pletely in praotlo3. ID oth- ur states the Institution has worked admirably. It has done a great deal of good In Illinois. Its operation In Mtsaaohunotta , In Bag- land , and In various otlur states , has boon so tatlsfacitry lh i there are now railroad cjunniMioiie : a In twenty- five states In thla country. 11 Cali fornia alone has the cummltslon proved an entire and calamitous failure. This Is limply and solely bncauso there Is nowhere else In the United States a combination of capitalists of the same pitiless greed and ironhanded - handed despotism as these who con trol the railroads of that state. No railroad man has ever as serted the defiant doctrine that the railroad owes the public no duties and Is subject to no public control as Leland Stanford , of Cali fornia , has done No mon In the United States with possibly the ex ception of the Standard Oil corn- puny , have used public franchiser chisor with so shameless a disre gard of public responsibilities as the Central Pacific syndicate. * There has not been developed elsewhere in the United States so striking an In stance of what stood forth so clearly In France at the end of the last cen tury the anti-social tendencies of privilege , whether that privilege bo priestly , political or monetary. The telegraph Saturday morning announced that llio railroad commis sioners of OViformi had proposed a reduction ot 23 par cent in the freights and f xn a of the Central Pacific. This is an u'ttoiptto avert the storm of juat wiath which Is rising in Callfor- ulit. It is to bo hoped that it comes too laio to arrest the proceedings which shall disgrace those who have betrayed tholr trust and shall put a more efficient check on the Cantral Pacific syndicate , which is ono of the moat dangerous aggregations of capi tal which has arisen in the United States. Ariotnor Dtnrir News. The pensioners ore preparing for an other tussle with the next con great. They are organiz'ng ' to defend tholr assumed rights nnd to levy a freoh contribution upon the treasury. Tholr main right seems to bo to get nil the money they can , and to clamor f jr moro. Tholr organization Is powerful , and as it has the treasury for an objective point , there Is no reason to cupposo that it will booowo Icaa aggressive with the lapse of tlmo. All the indica tions go to.show that It will grow atrougor nnd more urgent from yoir to year. So many of the soldiers of the union armies have already tholr names placed upon the pension rolls , and the amount paid them an nually has become DO vnat , that it Is hard to find roasona for cxaludlng others equally deserving. The people of the north especially are willing to be most liberal lu deal- lug with the mon who fought for the preservation of the union , and this willingness Is made moro than cm phatio by the politicians who are bound by the exigences of tholr occu pation to cater to the desires tf "the soldier vote. " But the taxation made necessary by the vast augmentation of the pension roll is fast becoming the most serious burden the people must bear , and it li worth while to aikIf the line should not be drawn somewhere in extending the benefits of the. pension system to the veterans. Thousands and thou sands of men who never received a wound or contracted a lasting disease In the army , are now drawing cay from the treasury for faceted injuries , and other soldiers with whom the world has not gone well of late , are naturally arowlng restive under this exhibition of seeming favoritism. To put all the claimants on the same footing would bankrupt the govern ment. It Is not easy to find a way out nf the present difficulty , as there are very few congressmen who have the cour age to veto against an increase of pen sions. The soldiers themselves can supply a remedy by showing as patri otic a doslro for the preservation ol the government now as they displayed during the war , but it Is expecting a great deal of them to think that they will shut the door of the treasury In their own facer.
