onnAffizixo TIM /
The contest ever the organization of
the legislature which Is to convuno nt
noon tomorrow is actively in progrcsa at
the stnto capital. Neither republicans ,
populists or dornocr.Ua are in position
to orguiiso olthor of the two houses
without combining with numbers of ono
of the two opposing p n ties. The dwno-
orats are miking a desperate olTort to
orgnni/o both houses against the repub
licans. With this end in vlow
they have made ovortuios to the
indopcndenU for combining their
forces nnd holding them together
until Iho United States senator nhall bo
chosen. Such a combination , if ofloctotl ,
would fully justify the olmrgo that
the populists wore nothlnir but ctti-
p iws to pull democratic choUnuts out
of Iho lire During Iho campaign the
populists most strenuously donlotl that
they Had any grc.itor afllnltv to the dem
ocrats than to the ret ) ibllciun. They
ucio equ.illv bitter In do lounclng both
of thu old parties , although most of
their campaigners'took grovt plns to
pour nil their shot and aholl Into the ro-
publicun puty. The excuse for this
'loiro wn-faro upon the lopubll-
can pnrly was that Iho populists
\vero mrajcd ag.ilnst the party in
uouor and not tig ilnst tlie party out of
power Now that the democratic p.u-tv
il about to rmumo mtioual cintrol the
tables are turned. No honest populist
will content ! that Iho third pirly can
prollt by coilttion with the pj.-ty in
now or. The populists have not us much
to hopa for front Grover Ulovol.ind in
the direction of their picu lar i&sins
than ihoy have from the lopubli-
cms. Thej eertilnly have much loss
to ho J for from the democrats
in the legislature whoti It comes
to the enactment of laws for which
Iho psptihsta are coutonding . The
dcmociala will agico to deliver thoit
solid support to Iho candidates up n
whom tlio populists can agree for
spiniltor and cloi ks of the two houses.
They nro willing to give them the lion's
ahsu'o of or even all legislative p iti on-
ago from posliuisto's and sorgeants-.it-
arms down to pages and spittoon clean
ers. But they no\ur will vole \vlth the
populist ) when it comes to u maximum
into bill , Iho anti-froo-pass bill or any
other tadical leslriction of raihoad eor-
p nations. They are w lllng of couraj
tot'ndoolT all the "mall oflk-os for the
United Stitos sonitorship just as an
ndioit chess player will trade off his
pawns nnd minor pieces for the queen.
On the other bund the . ploltinir ,
scheming and trafficking on the pai t of
republicans to capture the lower house
is not in the interest of the party or of
good government. Up to the presant it
is being engineered in the interest of
the combination between the railroad
lobby and the jobbers and contractors'
lobby. Whatadvjnlago will the republi
cans gain for their party in organ i/-
ing the legislature if it can only
bo accomplished by corrupt. u als and
oledgoa to assist corpo-ations in
defeating legislation that the people
want nnd thut the party has pledged
itself to onaot ? Thu pirty that elects
the ollicerbof thologislatuto wilbecoino
responsible for its work. Unless the
republicans can aleet an upright and
unpinchasiblo man us spoulcor by the
unbought votes of independents who
dosiie to redeem their own pledges to
the people that elected them the party
will bo doomed to disaster in the next
camnaign.
It is afe to say that the keynote to
the election of a republican senator lies
in this duoctlon. If the republicans
show a disposition to tcsort only to
honorable means in the organisation of
the legislature and m the sonaliorial
contest they stand a fair chance of elect
ing a Bnnntoi by the help of independ
ents. If they are simply.bont on carry'
ing out the old policy of jobbery and
lobbory which has been BO disustrout
heretofore they donot deserve success
nnd they ought.to fall.

English oinissirioi are endeavoring tc
create a feeling In the Hawaiian islands
acninst the United States The idea is
to cro'iCo opposition to closer commercial
i ulations with this country , especially
whore the exclusive usoof Pearl Harbor

ation to bo granted to tlio United States
But this is not' the only ground upor
which the indictment of Great B.-ituin
rests. Notice has lately boon taken ir
Washington of newspaper articles am

efforts tno being made to divert tin
Hawaiian trade from San Francisco
The attacks upon the United States art
believed to have their origin in the
doslro of Gioat Britiin to exclude this
country entirely from the islands. Mud
is made of the idea that this countrj
has designs upon the Hawaiian islands
and as evidence the fact is pointed oul
that this government has declined tc
join England and franco in a treaty b ;
which each binds itself not to take pea
eoB.-iion of the islands.
Another point mud In the secret oain
palgn of this agents of the Kngltah go\
ornmont is the Indolinito doaign of tin

It is announced that the commissioner
of patents is going to work , when con
gress loasaombles , to urge the passage
of some ono of the bills which have
bocn icportod by ( no house and senate
committees ou pa touts. He is not con
fident ot success , but ho will endeavor
to have nisaed tlio bill introduced by
Senator Platt of C'oniiputlcut , extending
lo trade murks uiol in interstate com
merce tne provisions of existing law
legarding Irtido marks used in foioign
countiies. The courts overturned the
old trade-mark law so far as it applied
to domestic trade-marks upon the giound
that congress had no constitutional nu-
thoi Ity to LMiact such legislation. Sena
tor Platt and the commissioner of pit-
cnts believe , however , tliat congress has
power to regulate tiado-marks used in
intorslale commeroo and that this will
practically accomplish nil that is neces
sary in a trade-mark law , as few articles
of importance are made for consumption
within state limits.
A moro elaborate bill than that of
Senator Platt lias boon leporteu to the
house , but there is stu ill probability
that any nation will bo taken on it. It
is understood that the commissioner of
patents will recommend to the house
committee that a provision bo inserted
in its general patent bill for settling
interference cases in the courts
without requiring the commission
er to pass upon them at all. This
is a reform which the commissioner has
long favored , because nearly all inter-
fotonco cases are appealed from tint
officer to Iho courts , and ho regards the
examination of them by the commis
sioner as a needless duplication of labor.
Ho has no power lo compel witnesses to
proceed piopcrly and his decisions are
of less force as procodiints than formal
adjudications by the courts
The patent laws undoubtedly need re
vision or amendment , but in order to dc
this as proposed in the house bill would
probably require more discussion than
there will bo time for during the present
congress. There oughtto bo no difficulty ,
however , in passing the simple measure
introduced by Senator Platt. It is interesting
torosting to note in this connection
that the inventive genius of the
American people seems to grow will
progress of tlio country. The busi
ness of the patent olllco for the las
-fiscal year was very much larger that
four years ago , and the commissioner it
his annual report asked for addiliona' '
room lo properly accommodate th <
working force of the oflico. The sur
lus earnings of the oflico lor the las !
'fiscal year amounted to upwards o
$134,000 , ana there is now in tin
national treasury to the credit of thi
palent fund over 84,030,000.
The beginning of a now year draw :
oul a larger amount of money lhan a
any other limo in Iho piymontot interest
torost and dividends. The general government
ornmont will this month payout sovora
millions of dollars ns interest on bond ! :
the slates will make similar payments
and there will bo dividends paid b ;
banks , railroads and other corporations
Thus the amount to bo dlsbursodtukinf
the whole couulry through , will bo vor ;
largo , and Iho greater part of It will gi
into the hands of people who will loin
vest it.
For several woolen there has boon i
stringency in money , hue this ought t <
soon disappear as the result of th
January disbursements. There exist
no reason of a practical nature for Ib
monetary Htrlngoucy , and it is to b
accounted for solely by the fact thnt tin
banks and money lenders are taking till
plan to inlluonco imrronoy logisli
lion by congress. The flnanulr
pjworoftho country wants the sllve
purchase nut repealed and It is scoldn
to impress upon congress that there is
feeling of distrust and approhonsio
which can only bo relieved by stoppln
the government purchases of silver , A
oflort to do this will bo made as boon r
congress reassembles thla week. Thoi
is not much prob ibility that a bill to n
Deal thn silver purchase law can I
passed In the pcosont congress , 111
friends of silver being lee numerous i
both branches to allow suoh a moasur
to got through , unless something shoul
bo done for silver equally as favorab
as the Ittw , and In thut case there woul
bo nothing gained by repealing the uc
The chances aio , therefore , that tl
matter will bo loft to bo treated by tl
next coupross and administration.
In the meanwhile it is quite possib
that there will be periods of uioneta
Htrlngoncy , prompted by Iho BUUIO m
live that was at the bottom of the rocoi
stringency , though in the event of
continued outflow of gold a bubstnntl
louson could bo urged for a contrautit
in financial operations. Secretary Fc

ia-olOi bushels , or 80-lll,77J bushels

the Inferior quality of the corn Iho price
