THE Press has not published corporal GER
tifcate for three days. What is the matter?
Does it tire thus early in the combat upon the
great issue?-Argus.
The general impression is that the Argus
tired of that issue the day after it was ad-
vanced and fastened to disayow it.

THE Boston Post is not swift to spread
false reports. 1t waits until their falsity is
exposed and then repeats them. At least
that is the course it has pursued in regard to
the extravagant claim of reduction of State
expenditures made by the leaders of the
shameless coalition in Maine. The Post
ought to know that the reductions made by
the fusionists are less than $4,000 instead
of nearly $500, 900, and that difference in
expenditures between one year and another
frequently exceeds the lesser sum. If the
Post wishes to look at the figures it is re-
ferred to the article from the Somerset Re-
porter published in another column.

THE Democratic Baltimore S,n, is getting
alarmed at the news from Maine and says
the Democratic leaders in Ohio feel that
Gen. Ewing's prospects will be materially
injured if the Democrats in Maine adhere to
their announced purpose of voting for the
Greenback ticket rather than for DIR. Garce-
lon, since any indication of the greater
strength Of the Greenback party in Maine
will give fresh courage to that following in
Ohio, which will take thousands of votes
from Gen. Ewing and give them to the regu-
lar Greenback candidate. The Democrats
are between the devil and the deep sea.

the Democratic back-down: 'They began
by saying to the President, Sign our politi-

President still unmoved, they cried out, If
you don't back down we will refuse you

they finally held back 5000, 900 and ran away.

A writer in the New York Htrdd esti-
mates that the amount of gold brought from
Europe this year will he double that of any
other year in the history Of the country.
About $4,000, 600 have already arrived,
some IS, 0O0, 600 ere afloat and it is expect
ed that 81, 600, 900 will have arrived before
New Years Day The current of trade has
been flowing in favor of this country for
three years, hut immense quantities of our
bonds have been held abroad, and these have
been bought up and shipped hithcr instead
of money To pay for our goods. II is est
mated by competent authorities that not less
than 5000, 900, 900 Of our bonds have thus
been returned from abroad. The amount
held in Europe is now 50 small AS To practi-
cally prohibit their expectation, since the
purchase of any considerable amount at once
puts the prices up 50 high that it is cheaper
and more convenient Ia send gold. This be-
ing the case, the immense quantities of grain
we are shipping must he paid for in gold

not accept tine stamps OF the British and the

that IT would require AN immense deal of
