The Democratic press will undoubtedly
see in the fact that Gen. Grant went to
Chefoo in gun boat, new evidence that he is
training himself to assume the military die
tatorship. A man in gunboat is as dan
gerous to the liberties of country with as
much sea coast as ours as man on horse

Mr.. SPRINGER's attempt to introduce into

at the polls is interpreted to mean that the

is complete surrender of the first Demo-

MOST curious comment is made on the
Greenback platform by the North Star,
which last year supported DR.. Ladd for Con-
gress and swallowed the worst features of
the Lewiston platform without intimating,
so far as we remember, that they were at all
unpalatable. 1t pronounces the Portland
platform as perhaps as reasonable and ac-
ceptable as could be expected where so many
different opinions existed; says some of the
resolutions need explanation; approves the
reputation of communism, and the refusal
to pass resolutions endorsing the action of
the Democrats in Congress on the ground
that party made up of Democrats and Re-
publicans can allow no expression of senti-
ment on national affairs; and is glad to
know that the ''wild and irrational scheme
of issuing paper money on no coin security"
will require no defense this year. 1t believes
the true policy of the Greenbackers is to nail
their colors to the mast, and not for the sake
of temporary success to surrender what they
have devoted their best years to obtain
What idea the North Star intended to convey
by all this we do not know. The principal
idea it has succeeded in conveying is that
the Greenback campaign of last year was
one of falsehood and deceit; that the Green
hackers advocated an irredeemable currency
well knowing that it was ''wild and ira
tional scheme" and that the only sound cur
rency was one based on coin, as the Repub-
licans taught.
The New York papers give fuller details
of the report of the parliamentary commit
tee on the electric light The drift of it is
that the new light is suitable for large areas,
open or indoors; that for lighthouse pur-
poses it is excellent and has established it
self; that it cannot yet compete in domestic
matters with gas; that it is not time yet to
allow streets to be torn up for electric light
ing; that there is still doubt whether it or
gas is cheaper; and yet that it is the public
duty of all municipalities to assist the de-
velopment of the light in every way, as cleo
tricity is certain in the future to become an
indispensable lighting medium, and also a
valuable source of power.

When Commodore Vanderbilt was

way, by uniting vast lines and their tri-

thus capturing all rivals, by sharing with
them the immese pool of profits were
made by his skilful manipulation.

Heavy Wheat ReecfDts.

1t is stated that for the past ten days
or two weeks the receipts of wheat and
corn at the Canton elevators, via North
ern Central railway, averaged 325 car
loads day, and that ON Friday 600 car
loads We're blocked on the tracks. The
capacity of the elevators and the railroad
were taxed to handle the receipts. ON
Saturday five vessels were loading grain
at the time of the storm, but the wind
dld not STRIKE in that quarter and no
damage was done there. Those graf
merchants who were short of wheat for
June delivery expect relief from the re-
celpts which will be reported ss inspect
ed at Canton by noon today. 1t Is said
the heavy receipts were on contracts
made at low rates for carrying some
weeks ago, when the Pennsylvania aud
