[Tho Examiner of Sumlny, Dec. 29, contains this sweet morcenu for the masses of citizens to ponder on as the days go by.

Don’t try to elect them in wards where you have no influence, but concentrate your efforts where they will. Give me Lyman J. Gage, Charles B. Fsrwell, E. G. Keith. Let them come to tho council Mon day evenings, and they and you will learn something.” When Mayor Swift sat down a something or other settled down on the banqueters resembling a great sorrow-. There was some applause at first, but it was evident the speech was not what would have been ordered had tho guests had their Cain among the recorls of earthly saints.” V. “ A few weeks ago, in Baltimore, Mrs. Edholm, the apostle of the Woman’s Rescue League, went on a slumming tour. She found some good-appenring young women in the haunts of shame. ‘Whero shall we go ?’ was the earnest question of one of the young women. ‘What shall wo d o?’ Then one Hpoke up earnestly and said, ‘Before you como here to get us away, go over to ------ ’s factory, and get them to pay their girls moro than two dollars a week!’ There was no reply to be made to that. “ * Why do you pay your washer woman a dollar, when you can get the work done for fifty cents ?’ was the seemingly innocent question asked of one woman by a supposedly Christian woman. I did not hear tho answer; but there was a sad heart turned away in hitter contem plation at the traffic in human blood, in the oppression of the poor —-for f>fly cent « ! “ I wonder who of us is not guilty! This matter is so far reaching that it applies not only to the rich but often to tho lesser well-to-do. How we like to buy things at ‘less than cost,’ though generally tho people who buy in that way are deservedly swindled; but we try it at least It has come to pass that the battle is to the swift, and the profits to the few, and all because of the traffic iu human blood. “ But the cry goes up to G o d !

There was never a time in the his tory of our country when tho de mand for inventions and improve ments iu tho arts ami sciences gen erally was so great as now. Tho conveniences of mankind iu the fac tory and workshop, the household, on the farm, and in official life, require continual accessions to the appurtenances and implements of each in order to save labor, time and expense. The political change in tho administration of government does not affect the progress of the American inventor, who being on the alert and ready to perceive the existing deficiencies, does not permit the affairs of the government to deter him from quickly conceiving tho remedy to overcome existing discrep ancies. Too great caro cannot he exorcised iu choosing a competent and skillful attorney to prepare and prosecute au application for patent Valuable interests have been lost and destroyed in innumerable instances by the employment of incompetent counsel, aud especially is this advice applicable to those who adopt the “ No patent, no pay” system. Inven tors who entrust their busiuess to this class of attorneys do so at im minent risk, as the breadth and strength of the patent is never con sidered in view of a quick endeavor to get an allowanco and obtain the fee then due. THE FRESH CLAIMS COMPANY, John Wed- derburn, Genoral Manager, 618 F street, N. W., Washington, D. C., representing a largo number of im portant daily and weekly papers, as well as general periodicals Af the country, was instituted to protect its patrons from tho unsafo methods heretofore employed in this lino of business. The said company is pre pared to take chargo of all patent business entrusted to it for reason able fees, and prepares and prose cutes applications generally, includ ing mechanical inventions, design patents, trade-marks, labels, copy rights, interferences, infringements, validity reports, and gives especial attention to rejected cases.

Everybody knows what magnificent papers tho “Examiner” and “Call” of Hun Frtiucisco are, as also the Thrice-a-Week New York W orld aud Twice-a-Week Boston Traveler--each of which nre worth theprice asked. The Home) and Farm is a splendid agricultural and family jour nal, large 16-pnge paper, and of itself worth tho price of both papers, Womankind is a most attractive and entertaining home monthly, heartily welcomed by nnd instructive to the mothers and daughters; and the Farm News is edited by a staff of experienced agricultural writers, is handsomely printed, and contains what the practical fanner wants. Word nud Work« is Rev. Irl Hicks’ paper of Ht. Louis. This is a scien tific journal and is full of excellent reading inntter. The Almanac, given with the paper, contains 100 pages of forecasts and other useful infor mation and is a valuable book.

Our Nation's Crisis is best advertised by saving that it is owned and edited by Gov. Waite, Colorado’s great Populist governor, tlio War-horso of the Rockies. It is good reading.
