Volcanic Eruptions.

The Fusionists are on the ragged edge of de-
snair. The detection of the Bangor Messenger,
which Is making it hot for Gov. Plaisted in its
appeals to the people of the back lots and cross
roads. worries the fellows who have yielded
their convictions in an unholy coalition. Re-
ports we're in circulation some days ago that
the last of the Bangor weekly Fusion organs,
the Freebooter, was about to relapse or col
lanse. These were followed by other reports
that the alarmed Fusionists had fixed" it.
This was confirmed by the open boasts of those
connected with the paper. to the effect that
Mr. Iadd had furnished the wherewithal to
print an edition of many thousands, with prom
ises of more And now comes Mr.. John White
in letter to the publisher of the Freebooter,
which he prints in the Messenger as follows:
III j. BaqstoR:
Daar Sir:-I am now in Foxcroft and am in Dos
session of your last issue of the Freebooter in which
Won attack me in a manner which know You will
sav when you see me, is merely political and in O
manner YOU will say if taken for the truth by your
readers is ridiculous in you. You know very well
that f. ~ Pratt has not sold out to the Republicans
and that his sympathies have always been with our
ticket and our cause You know we'll that some five
weeks ago you of your own free Will, set up your
paper for our state ticket and ASKED me to assist
Won You well know that the next day your paper
came out for Fusion and was noted for its confusion
and nothingness. In two days after that, entered
your office and you asked me 70 forgive you, and
ing me letter from one of the owners of your pa
per- stating that if you out for Solon your pa
per would be taken from you. You said they gave
you $500 to it in their interest. You was hired
and driven to do what you did not want to do, and
E. d. Pratt has hired from all the money he has
received and its allows him to do as he chooses
without any compulsion. Shall tell who wrote
that letter? You did not tell me not to do so.
Levant, Aug. Ia, 1882. JOHN WHITE.
This is mighty interesting reading. The
editor of the Freehelder should authorize Mr..
White to name the author of "that letter" by
all means Verify, Fusion requires good
deal of substantial coaxing this year to keep ii
in line.

That Excuse.

From the Argus Report of Senator Frye at Alfred)
Mr. Frye said he was opposed to the vicious River
and Harbor bill and had voted against it. If Con-
gressmen Ladd and Murch had done the same thing
the bill would not have parsed over the Presidents
Veto Mr. Frye probably knew better than that
He knew that Messrs Laid and Murch were paired
with two Republicans one of whom WAS Represen-
tative Lindsey If the two gentlemen spoken of had
been in their seats they wonld in all probability
have voted against the BILL but it is not at all prob
able he Republicans would, therefore, the result
would have been the same. Blu Mr.. Frye thought
he saw a chance to get in little cheap clap-trap.
The Argus reporter who penned the above
has put his foot in. Mr.. Ladd was paired with
Mr.. Lindsey, who was i'll at home on questions
on which they differed. But on this question,
the pair did not prevent Mr.. Lsdd from voting
nrovided he WAS opposed to the BILL because
NJ Lindsey, if illness had not prevented him
from being present, would have voted against
the hill and to sustain the veto.
Mr.. Murch was not paired With anyone up
IN the time the veto was received Alb at the
time the vote was taken he paired himself not
With a Republican, but with Democrat
CLARK of Missourl--who had not been present
for n onths. and could not possibly be present
to vote. His pair did not withhold Clark
vote for the bill, because he could not be pres
ant. Then, one negative vote was equivalent
to two affirmative ones, because the bill re-
onired two-tlirds' vote to pass ovec the veto,
and hence no man who wanted to defeat the
bill would pair evenly with even present
member Bnt to pair with an absent member
was q farce and cheat.

BosToN Herald: Yesterday, when COM
menting upon the opening sitting OF the
bankers convention, we stated that Mr. Coe,
the president of the association, had given
an admirably lucid description of the work
and duties of bank. He was especially H.
luminative upon one point az to which pub
lie opinion is sadly in need of clear drec-
ton. He showed that banks are not deal
ers in money" but only in pconey's worth.
They are an indispensable part of the ma
chinery for the manufacture of goods and
the distribution of merchandise. They act
as the agents of the community in the pro-
duction and exchange of commodities. When
a bank discounts the note of a manufactur-
ing corporation it assists in the conversion
of cotton and wool into cloth. The credit
which it has granted represents and is based
upon, the bales Of woven goods. Again, in
discounting mercantile paper, the credits OF
a bank stand for some form or other of mer-
chandise. The bank aids in distributing the
goods as fully as if it actually handled the
barrels of -four, the drums of figs or the
boxes of sugar, which lie behind the notes
that it has taken. Mr.. Goes address was
in the main SO sound and acceptable that
we could wish to dispense with unfavorable
criticism. But we are constrained to say
that bis condemnation of government debt as
the basis of national currency rests upon an
obvious misconception. This debt is backed
by property quite as perfectly, to say the
least for it, as mercantile credits can claim
to be. The public debt is founded upon and
propped by all the taxable property in the
country. Indeed, government bonds are in
comparably superior to commercial paper as
the basis of the note circulation, because
the bonds are convertible on the instant,
and to any amount, while the paper is not
convertible in an exigency unless by slow
process, and to very small amount.

ACCORDING to the bureau of statistics the

ACCORDING to the bureau of statistics the
emigrant arrivals from Ireland in 1851
reached their greatest abundance, the num-
Der being 221,2 1858. Thirty years later, in
1881, they had fallen to less than third
to 10000 il the greatest of all immigration
years. In 1877 they dropped to only 1871,
or to less than one in sixteen of the amount
quarter of a century before. In the two
years, 1851 and 1852, nearly 100000 Irish
landed in this country. During the last
thirty years the immigration from England
has as steadily increased as that from Ire
land has fallen off. In 1851 the immigra-
ton from Ireland was more than 250 times
as great as that from England; but in 1851
the English i'm migration was more than
5000 larger than the Irish. In forty years
our English immigration has increased from
only 147 in a year to 76,547.

the number of miles constructed during the

The Republicans of New Jersey have a
more than even chance for electing United
States Senator to succeed Mr.. Mcpherson.
In the present Legislature ten Republican
and five Democratic Senators hold over.
The Republicans have to elect one of the
six Senators to be chosen this fall to retain
majority in the upper House. They are
confident of doing better than that. But, if
they do only that, and elect 20 of the go
Assemblymen, they will have majority of
one on joint ballot.

No one can have clear and fair complexion un-

compliment from the Tribune which says: "Dr. G
W. Benson's New Remedy, SKIN CURE, is received
by the public with great confidence, and it is re-
garded as a very generous act on the Doctors part
to make known and prepare for general use his val

skin diseases in which he took great delight He
was for a number of years Physician in charge of

thing from his hands is at accepted as authori-

attack the disease, both internally, through the
blood aud externally, through the absorbents, and
is the only reliable and rational mode of treatment
These preparations only put up for general use
after having been used by the Doctor in his private
practice for ears. with the greatest success, and
they fully merit the confidence OF an classes OF sun

The Campaign.

Reports from all parts of the State are OF
uniform tenor, and most encouraging to
Republicans. From every quarter comes
information that we are gaining and the
Fusionists losing; the gain may not be large
nor the loss great-"Tis not so deep as a
well, nor so wide as church door; but tbs
enough, twill serve" The Republicans are
elate, the Fusionists respondent. Unless
the conditions change,-and there is no ap-
parent reason why they should've shall
carry the State by a handsome majority.
The only mistake we are seriously liable
to is over-confidence. That wrought our
loss in 1880. We must not repeat it. The
reports are so favorable, the canvass so
promising, that sanguine Republicans feel
liks slackening their pace, believing they
are so far ahead that their opponents cannot
lap them. To these we commend the fable
of the tortoise and the hare.
