A NEW and dangerous gold counter
felt has appeared at Evansville, Indiana.
The old-fashiOned large one-cent pieces
are cut the size Of $40 pieces, and the
edge niched and the sides worn down
so as to extinguish the letters zone
cent" On the face of the coin is the
American eagle, and on the other side
is the head of the Goddess of Liberty.
The coin is then washed in gold, and is
hard to detect as counterfeit by many.
By letting true coin and the counter
felt one fall on the counter it is impos-
sible to tell the difference in sound.
Several of these coins have been passed,
and the one which was detected was
given a lady at a prominent retail store.

The Philadelphia Times says that
''the present outlook promises not less
than 10000 votes for Wolfe in Philadel-
phia, with the possibility of increasing
it to 10000. In that case, the three can
didates for State Treasurer would go
out of Philadelphia with about 10000
each. The bosses will grimly smile at
such figures, but if they will carefully
note the lessons of each day, they will
see how 10000 votes for Wolfe may turn
up on the election night.

WOLFE, independent Republican can
didate for State Treasurer of Pennsyl-
vania, charges in his prepared sp ech,
that Governor HOyt, Secretary Quay and
Blake Walters, cashier of Treasurer
NOyes, speculated with the funds of the
State, and holds himself in readiness to
take the witness stand and prove his
allegations. Neither of the gentlemen
charged have attempted denial, and
the public looks for some explanation
of the grave charge.

THE publication of the letter of Sec
retary Blaine to General Garfield, of
December 20, 1880, accepting the Office
of Secretary of State, and pledging him
self to aid in the reelection of the
President-elect in 1884, has attracted
much attention. The Philadelphia
Press explains it got the letter from a
friend of General Garfield, in Western
Pennsylvania, to whom he gave copy
at Mentor, but it was hardly published
without the writer's knowledge. Mr..
Blaine's statement that next to Mr..
Garfield himself, he could contribute
more to the denomination and re-elec-
tiOn of the latter in 1884 than any other
person could, may seem trifle egOtis
tical; but it was entirely true, as the
Chicago Tribune shows in the annexed
extract from its columns:
Mr.. Blaine has larger political fol-
lowing among Republicans than any
other man. The delegates to the Chica-
go Convention from the States that chose
Republican Electors in November were
divided as follows among the chief can

In the case of the Iron Mountain Rail-
way robbers justice in Arkansas was
swift. The robbery occurred September
%; the robbers were arrested six days
later, and on Friday last, after a swift
trial, each sentenced to seventy years
imprisonment; five years on each of
fourteen indictments. The Missouri
train robber got twenty-five years. This
is much better than lynch law.
