FREEHAND, PA., AUGUST 12, 1897. Wearing the Collar of a Boss. Richard Harding Davis, tho noted writer, has about completed a series of articles on "The Inauguration'" In Har per's Monthly. His last installment on this interesting subject contains a few paragraphs of interest to those voters who are over willing to wear the collar of a political boss and to parade their servility before tho populace on any and all occasions. Mr. Davis says: "There was one feature of the great parade which would have puzzled the foreigner had he understood its signifi cance, and which was a commentary on our political system. It was the number of clubs and organizations which bore the name and existed for the personal and selfish aggrandizement of some one man, and that man seldom a great man. or a wise man, or a man of whom man\ people outside of his own city had ever heard. "Every one must recognize the im portance of political organizations; and when they are called the Junior Politi cal Club of the Fourth Ward, or the Un conditional Republican Club of Albany, or the First Voters' Republican League of Detroit, their object for existing i;> obvious and may bo approved by every one, be lie a Democrat, a Mugwump, or a Populist. "Hut when 300 men inarch under a banner bearing the name and features of 'Matt' Quay, or 'Tom' Piatt, or •Dave' Martin, the spectator is remind ed not of a republic where every citizen is supposed to vote freely and as bis conscience dictates, but of tins feudal days, and of the baron, bis serfs and retainers. It is easy to understand why tho political boss exists, from the point of view of the boss, or why a slave-holder should be willing to hold slaves. Hut it is difficult to understand why tho slaves themselves should rejoice in their de gradation and wish to publish it abroad. "Any one might be proud to march in the ranks of an organization that bore the name of an American who had ac complished something Tor his country, who had lived and died for a great truth, or who had represented a noble idea. Put why should men wear the collar of a boss where every one can see it? And why should they, for fear every one should nut see it, hire a brass band to draw attention to the fact that they have It on? "These gentlemen who inarched on inauguration day were, so the papers said, prominent business men, lawyers and bankers. Many of them certainly looked as if they belonged to that class, but if they were men of intelligence why could they not see how undemocratic and unAmerican they were in giving t heir .consciences into the hands of one man? "One organization of nearly 1,000 men had as its motto, 4 We follow where Quigg leads.' Now, Mr. Quigg may be, probably is, a well-meaning young man; but why should 1,()();> men travel all the way to Washington j when representatives from every part of the Union are gathered together there and proclaim that they are no longer free-born American citizens with a sacred right to vote as they please, but merely tools and heelers for 'Quigg?' "These are, the very same Americans who boast of their independence in the smoking-rooms of ocean steamers and in the railway carriages of Continental railroads, forgetting that there are few people in Europe that are ruled by such a boss as this or that one designated on these banners. If they are so ruled they are ashamed of the fact and do not paint his face, on a silk banner as though he were a saint: and bow down to it, or carry a gilded pennant bearing liis name at the point." Subscribe fur the Titiut Mi, WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, August 10, 1897. There are many opinions as to why •John Sherman should have returned to Washington and take charge of the state department at this time. Some say that the old man intends to make a light to knock out the Hanna-McKinley plan of kicking him out the cabinet after the Ohio election; others that he has a scheme of his own to get even with the administration for the treatment he has received by getting it into some new foreign complication, but the generally accepted idea is that he is in Washing ton solely to enjoy bossing the state de partment, a privilege that is denied him when Mr. McKinley and Assistant Sec retary Day are in town. Mr. Sherman's virtual acknowledgement of iiis ignor ance of the nature of tins instructions given to Minister Sewall concerning Hawaii is proof of how little lie knows of the important part of the foreign policy of the administration. Mr. Day has had exclusive charge of all matters relating to Hawaii and Cuba. Patent oilice officials have testified in the dhbarrment proceedings against John Wuddorburn V Co., now going on, that practically one-half of the nearly 3,800 applications for patents filed by Wedderburn A- Co., during the past two years, have been for what was unpat entable, and that a large percentage of tho remainder, which contained devices that were patentable, were of such trifling nature that it was practically wasting money for their inventors to pay for obtaining tho patent. They also testified that either knowingly, or through lack of knowledge that should be a part of the equipment of every patent .attorney, Wedderburn & Co. have sought to secure money, and often secured it, from these would-be inven tors as fees for applying for foreign patents and for advertising for sale ' these unpatentable devices. Of course every man has a right to have and express an opinion upon sub jects before the public, and yet opin ions may be expressed in such away as to make a man appear to bo gloating i over the misfortune of something that i he opposes, which causes them to strike | most people as being in bad taste, or i even worse. To the latter class belongs j the publicly expressed opinion of Mr. ' i'reston. director of the United States ! mint, on tho decline in the price of sil ver. With the usual gall of tins know it-all Mr. i'reston tells the public not only that he knew the decline in price ! was coining but that ho knows the do- j clino is going to keep on until the price ! gets down to 40 cents an ounce. Tho belief is irresistible that Mr. Preston's talk represents his wishes rather than ! his knowledge on this subject. Tho order just issued by Commissioner of Patents Hutterworth, providing that all attorneys practicing before tho patent oilice shall be registered, and prescribing the rules which must be complied with in order to get upon that register, is one of the most important ever issued by u commissioner of patents, and reflects credit upon Mr. liutterworth both as a lawyer and as an ollicial. Ills laudable aim is to raise the tone of the patent bar, which lias suffered in credit by the toleration on the part of the patent oilice of loose practices on the part of a few of its members. The Spanish minister has only to tip t he wink to the secretary of the treasury to put all of the machinery of the United States customs service to work at lilli buster hunting. His latest was an alle gation that arms were about to be shipped from Kridgeport, Conn., or thereabouts, to the Cubans. Special orders were at once sent to all the offi cers of the customs service in that vicinity to turn themselves into detec tives to please the Spanish minister. John W. Foster, the gentleman who is credited with having written the in structions to Ambassador Hay that were signed by Mr. Sherman, has returned from iiis sealing mission to Europe. lie says it was successful; Prof. Elliott, of the Smithsonian Institution, says it was a Hat failure. Which of them is right will not lie known until after the inter national conference, which meets in Washington next October, shall have been held. Not a little joking has followed the the naming of the now submarine' torpedo boat, which a small party of officials went over to lhiltlmoro to see launched from the Columbian Iron Works. "Teddy" Roosevolt, who is al ways trying to do something out of the common, christened the boat "Plunger."
