some o. the coalition papers claim that the
same Der eentsge of liberal gain in other states
as IN Maine and Vermont will elect Greeley but
quite certainly they don't believe it. 1t NAV
be, as they assert, that New England opinion
Gees not reflect that OF the middle or western
states; but that is 10 be settled by the October
elections. There is not in the September cleo
tons one cTGmb OF comfort TOR the liberal cause,
and 10 affect 10 believe il, argues want OF candor
Tie Spr ngfeld RsputIicrn, Oiberal,) while
holding q at the Grant victory in Maine scom
plete as it Is in its general result and its details
does not decide the national contest in favor Of
the administration party, yet refuses to stultify
itseli by claiming any encouragement for the
liberal iT' N the results there. That paper SAYS:
But u ither side has yet, or has ever had,
TIE rlsht 20 claim success assured. At the
same me IL IL evident that the tide of publi,,
ItehbS = no" setting against the liberal candi-
dates, and bat their chances OF success will q,
pend upon the Introduction Of some new ele-
nent INTO the campaign, or upon some turn OF
ahalrs which shall 10 as much for them as the
iast nye weeks have done Tor their opponents"
One thing has been shown by the result in
Nalne, and that Is the utter mscalculation and
rnisconception of their strength by the liberals.
While the republican committee, by their care
full eanvassiDg bv townships, had come to the
CONCLUSION that their majority would be about
1900, and were under the mark at that the
liberal committee readily adopting the hurrah-
boys, tidal-wave, groundsw theory that
everything was lovely, made the astonishing
miscalculation of expecting to reduce the repub-
hcan majority to six or eight thousand, and
some were ssnguine enough to believe that they
would overcome il altogether. II may be that
the nberal-democratic organization Is better
in some of the middle and western states; prob
ably it is in Pennsylvania and Indiana, but we
suspect that everywhere IL will show much the
same elements of weakness, and uncertainty as
to numbers as in Vermont and Maine. The
public will at any rate be apt to place more
reliance on the estimates of republican COM
mittees than on those OF the other party.

TIE fact that Rev. DIR. whittingham. the
Episcopal Bishop OF this (Naryland) diocese
has, by invitation, gone TO Germany to
take part in the deliberations of the
sold CathOlics' at the conference to be
held az Cologne this month exeites discus
sion. Tie Old Catholics, so-called, while ad
herring largely TO the doctrines of the Church OF
Rome, deny the intauibility of the Roman Pom
tiff, and also his supre macy over other bishops,
thereby occupying somewhat the same ground
a. the anglican Church. This explains why
Bishop Nottingham and other bishops of the
Episcopal Church have been invited to co-op-
Ierate with them. II is stated that one or two
OF the FL gish bishops VIII attend the confer
nee as loCkers-on; acting under instructions TO
watch any opportunity that may be presented
10 promote the cause Of unity" without sacri-
kcing the faith or doctrines of the churches
from which they arc accredited.
The Evs"gelcal party in England, and in
this country, seem to apprehend danger from
this movement, and show some jealousy of
the High Church party IN this connection.
II the Old Catholics desire to unite with the
Episcopal Church, they say, the way is open to
them at al times, without compromise or con-
d.tions; hence they cannot recognize the neces-
sity OF any formal negotiations with them at
their conference at Cologne. They fear tina
the English and American bishops, in their
aspirations after Christian unity, may be per
suaded 10 pledge themselves to a lowering
he Angl can standard on some essential pofn.
OF doctrine in order 20 make the road eas for
the Old Catholics-wholly in conflict with thei.
Protestant character.
As the Old Catholics still adhere to the con
fessional, the doctrine OF penance and other
doctrines repugnsnt to the Evangelicals, the
latter seem 10 think that unity with them mean
halfway step TO Rome. On the whole it seem
probable that these suspicious and misgiyings
Will prevent any practical cooperation between
the EpisC opalians and the "Old Catholics,

The following slightly sarcastic allusion by
the Cincinnati Enquirer (good democratic au-
thority) to the anti-improvement men of that
city, Is worth the attention OF the Patriot.

shows that that production is steadily on the in

but during the months of July and Au-
gust large trade is not expected. In
the Wholesale line business has been
good; our large horses, Schwabacher

increasing their outside trade. The
Country merchants have found that they
can buy their supplies in Seattle cheap

by shipping.
The Coal Company are taking out
some 80 tons per day. The demand is
such that they have not been able to fill
