How n Counterfeit Cnn be Defecieh.

A circular issued by the United States Treas
nry sounterfeit Detector states that the new
counterfeit ten-dollar. Treasury note. which
was recently reported rs Of the series of 1878.
Is Of 1875 instead. In some respects this coun-
terieit is very well executed, while in others
The work is very bad. All Treasury notes Of
The series Of 1875 are printed on the fibre paper
known as the Wilcox patent. The fibre has
The appearance Of coarse black hairs scattered
ihrough the paper, without regard to regular
ity, and may readily be seen in the open panel
on the back Of the note. The counterfciters
could not set this paper, but an attempt has
been made to initiate it by printing black lines
on tho surface. The difference between the
black lines and the fibre can be readily detected
by the use OF a magnifying glass Or by tearing
she paper across one of the fibres. In tho
border at the top Of the genuine note, the
words; "Ihis note is legal tender for ten
dollars" are distinctly separated from each
other. In the counterfeit the letter "a" and
word "legal' form one word as do the two
words "for" and ten." The last four letters
OF the word 'printing" in the line below the
one referrel to are in italics in the counterfeit,
while the balance OF the line is in Roman.
ThoTed ink used on the counterfeit is poor
and Of brck-red color, while tho ink on the
Original is Of bright carminc. The geomet-
rical lathe work in the upper left hand corner
OF the counterfeit surrounding the tx" is
good, while that on tho upper right hand cor
ner is very poor, and the lines in the work can
not be traced as they can in the genuine bills.
On the back of the counterfeit the word "This,"
beginning tho phrase "This note is legal
tender" ETC., is printed "Tms." There are
Other slight errors in the printed law on tho
back Of the counterfeit. There are no coun-
,erfeils on the series of 1869, 1873 and 1880

A Short Crop OF Hay.

Beports to the Ne,0 England Homestead from
a95 ponts, covering the British Provinces,
tSe J bay crop lust harvested is nearly 80 pc,
cent. less than last year. The average Yield
of the several sections is as follows; Maine,

massachusetts "a; Connecticut, G3; Khode
Island, SO; New York, n; and the Provinces,

are higher than last year, when the crop was
very heavy in the great shipping COUNTS no s,oc

and cheese in Vermont and in the great cheese

GALvESTON'S COMING RIVAL.

Heretofore San Antonio has been con-
tent to enjoy the wonderful advantages
and attractions which nature has given
it, and has not busted itself much about
outlets and gulf ports and extensions of
it's trade, and has grown bigger and
richer year by year just because it
couldn't help it. 1t is bestirring itself
now, and proposes to put that Gulf road
which has been one of the local tradi-
lions of the Alamo city for a quarter of
century into active operation at an
early day.
The road will run from San Antonio to
Arkansas Pass, and the men and money
are said to be within ready reach to in
sure speedy construction. San Antonio
ought to have built this road long since.
1t ought to have had a short, direct line
to Rockport or Curpus Christi years ago,
and had such a line been in operation
for any considerable time past, we
should long since have had harbor in
that quarter such as we have not now
got on our coast.
If one-half, yes, one-fourth, the sum
that has been literally thrown away at
Galveston had been expended at Arkansas
Pass, we should to-day have first
class deep-water port there. With $780,
600 depth about equal to that at Gal
weston has been obtained, and the engi-

THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY AND THE
PUBLIC DOMAIN.

While the subject Of the public lands
and the actual settler is absorbing the
attention of our citizens in the matter of
State politics, the same subject, in n
slightly different shape, is one Of the
livcst issues in the National campaign.
IfTcXas has in the past been careless
and even criminally negligent in the
disposition of its public lands, the
general Government has been equally if
not more so.
Millions of acr cs Of the finest public
domain on earth have been literally
forced upon foreign syndicates and rail
way corporations until the public lands
have about disappeared. A vast
portion OF this domain was
conferred upon these railways
upon conditions that have never been
performed to this late day, but the COM
panies have owned the land and indeed
disposed of much Of it. Other portions
they have never assumed active control
over, leaving it in way in Government
hands to avoid taxation.
If there was any one positive declara-
ton of policy by the Democrats during
the past session of Congress it was with
reference to these public lands. A posi-
tive resolution was adopted pledging
the party TO oppose any further DISPOSE
ton of the public domain, except to
actual settlers. Afterwards a number Of
bills were introduced to declare for
feited all unearned railroad grants, the
amount proposed to be forfeited reach
ing some SO,OOO,0OO or 90,000,000 acres.
Some of these bills were passed by the
House only to be consigned to a long
sleep in the Republican Senate, while
MANY others were never reached.
But the noticeable feature in all this at
tempted legislation was the fact that the
Democracy came up solidly for the bills
as they were reached, while the Repub-
licans fought and fillibustered against
them all. And they did this ia the face
of their party's platform, unequivocally
declaring for the forfeiture Of these un-
earned grants.
By their fruits We shall know them!
The party in power wasted this great
public domain, and refuse to assist the
Democracy in regaining it for the use of
the actual settler. 1t will be impossible
to bring these 100000 acres back to the
public domain so long as Republicans
control the Senate or the administration.
What landlord BLAINE would be after
four years occupancy of the White
House! If any of these land forfeiture
bills should barely squeeze through a
Republican Senate MIR. BLAINE could
sell his vetoes and would sell them for
broad acres by the thousand, by the side
of which his Little Rock Il Fort Smith
land grant bonds would prove but a
drop in the bucket. Even the guano
beds would grow small by the side of his
landed estate.

A GREATLY ovERRATEO PARTY.

lne Man ana Express, one Oh lne lew
decent papers in New York, supporting
MIR. BLAINE, assuming as do all Repub-
lican papers and orators, that the Re
publican party destroyed slavery, then
proceeds to remark that ''the Mormon
organs feel and know that the Republi-
cans mean to destroy the surviving
twin relic of barbarism.'
This is the old cry. Why hasn't this
twin relic been destroyed ere this"
The Republican party has been in power
for quarter of a ccntury,m its platforms
at least the sworn foe of Mormonism,
and vet this new and corrupt creed has
grown all this time with amazing
strength and swiftncss, and to-day
laughs at the puerile philippics of the
Republican Statesmen and the Repub-
lican press.
This reform is just like all other re-
forms by the Republican party-in
future. They are always meaning to do
something. 1t is constantly their pur-
pose to do so and so and accomplish
great things, but the rotten spots still
infect the body polite and the putre-
faction is yearly spreading and threaten
ing the very vitals of the Government.
Not to have checked or destroyed
Mormonism ere this, is the best cvi-
dence that it never intends to destroy
it, that it cannot destroy it, and that its
pretended devotion to reform of any
kind is the merest sham.
The fact is, the Republican party is
the most overrated political organiza-
ton in history. 1t claims and is genel-
ally credited to have stricken down
slavery and preserved the Union and
stamped out multitude of dangerous
political heresies in the United States.
1t is Justification of history to admit
this claim.
OF the 100000 to 4,000,0O0 men who
emancipated the slaves and put down
the rebellion, not more than one-half Of
them were Republicans, and not more
than one-half of them remained Repub-
licans after the war. OF the three or
four thousand millions of money re-
quired to wage that war successfully,
the Northern Democrats contributed
more than their share. Democrats in
the ranks and Democratic Generals,
backed by Democratic money, made
success by the North possible. 1t was
the North that freed the negro and over
run the South, and not the Republican
party at all.
The Republican party assuch, and I'M
aided, has never accomplished one sim
gle reform or thing of value to the
United States, and to retain the organi-
cation in power so long, has been to rob
men who were equally entitled to re-
ward at the hands of a patriotic people.
AS an organization it has accomplished
nothing of historical significance, and
It's whole record as an unaided party,
has been the elevation of corruption to
high places, and systematic robbery of
the people.
