The admirable investigator Glover has a.
cheved another success. There was Dir.
Hanbleton, who was the clerk of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means in the last Con-
gress, but on its being discovered that he had
Inflicted on his infant sou the name of John
Wilkes Booth--a fearful baptism--he was dis
charged. He has cotton claim against the
Government originally for 200 bales, but now
swollen to 2, 200 bales after having been once
adjusted at 80 bales. Glover has put him as
an expert to examine the Captured and Aban-
doned Division of the Treasury, and there
will be another swell on that cotton claim.

Mr.. Edison, who, it will be remembered, is
somewhat deaf, writes to Boston gentleman
that he has invented new diaphram which,
attached to his ear, will SO gather and condense
sound vibrations as to enable him to hear
with ease the slightest sound, even that of
the dropping Of a pin. 1t is his intention in
the future to apply this to the phonograph, so
that speeches or debates may be registered at
distance from the speaker. At present one
may apply it to his ear in crowded assem-
bly, and catch the words of speaker at an al
most incredible distance

''LET those who think alike act together"

Communist Kearney. 1t would be well for
the believers in hard money, the friends of an
honest currency, to heed these cries, to pool
their issues, to act together. Let us post
pone the discussion as to whether the curren-
cy shall be issued by the Government or by
the banks until we achieve the result at
which we are all aiming, the redemption of
that currency in gold. Let us pool those is

think together act together. and vote for no
man who is infected with the Greenback her
esy, who wishes to postpone resumption or
who believes in any currency except that
based on coin.

"TALK about honest money! cry the
Greenbackers, eff the currency we now have
is not honest, why did the Republican party
issue it?" The Republican party issued the
greenback under the solemn promise that
the Government would pay it as soon as able.
The Government will be able to redeem Ii
next January. If the Government, then
able, does not redeem it at the time appointed
the Government will do a dishonest thing,
and the currency will be dishonest curren-

ing the promise it made. The Nationals
and far too many of the Democrats-wish to
break it. That is why Republicans say that
the greenback will be dishonest currency
unless it is made redeemable in January.

Maine will be held at
Bangor, Wednesday and Thursday, Sept
4th and 5th.
The several Conventions holden under the auspices
OF the Reform Clubs Of this State have been exceed
ingly beneficial in their results and we trust that
this one, which is soon to convene in the Queen city
OF the East, may not only awaken new interest in
the temperance work in the old county of Penobscot
but may be instrumental in forwarding the grand
mission of reclaiming men throughout the length
and breadth of the Pine Tree State. With this OBJ
ject in view, we trust the various Reform Clubs in
this State will send full delegations to the Conven-
tion and thus aid in "rescuing the perishing' and
eevating humanity.
The following arrangements have been made with
the railroads and steamboats, for the round trip

ISN'T it a little queer that Gen. Anderson
who refused to follow Ben Butler into the war
for the preservation Of the Union should so
readily follow him into war for the destruc-
tion of the national honor and credit? When
Butler was battling for the safety of the coun-
try Gen. Anderson had no sympathy for him.
Now that Butler is battling for the repudia-
ton Of the debt incurred to save the Union he
has the warmest sympathies of Gen. Auder-
son. Come to think the matter over it Is not
50 queer after all. Gen. Anderson probably
holds to the good old proverb that there is
more than one way to kill cat.

THE Shoe and Leather Reporter takes a
common sense view of the situation when it
says: The suherings occasioned by the pam
ic were an inevitable consequence of the
struggle to maintain the integrity of the I'm.
ion. The efforts to alleviate them by resort
to empirical expedents only made them the
keener when the futility of such artificial
remedies became manifest. If the contrae-
tion which ought to have followed immedi-
ately upon the return of peace had been vol
unfairly accepted as a necessity, less cf 1t
would have sufficed, and the troubles would
have been over long ago. But nations, like
individuals, rarely have the courage and wis.,
dom to pu sue path that is strewn with
thorns, even though it may be ever so plain
that no other road will bring them to haven
of safety. Eight years were permitted TO
elapse before any effective measures were tax
en- to remedy the evils of redundant and
irredeemable currency. Even after nature
had asserted herself so forcefuly as to leave
no doubt that her laws could not any longer
be transgressed with impunity, there were
importunate remonstrances in many quarters
against the adoption of the vigorous policy
which could alone retrieve the errors OF the
past.
