Counterfeit Coins.

New counterfeit silver coins, in
denomination of quarters and dimes,
are said to be in circulation in large
quantities. They are said to be good
limitations and hard to detect. The
pieces are said to bear date, 1875
One feature by which the counterfeit
may be known, is the number of
claws on one foot of the eagle, there
being four, while on the genuine
there are but three. A very success
full counterfeit of the dime is also re-
ported, 1t is said to be made of
glass mixed with some base metal.
Its texture is friable, and it can be
pulYerized easily. When broken the
pieces resemble glass IN everything
except color. The particles are said
to be of dull color, and the coin is
dated 1855, so as to give the impress
sion that the coin is old, to account
for it's dull color. The ring is good.
Ordinary workers in metal and glass
cannot account for the amalgamation
ofglass and the metal, as glass only
weighs one-tenth that of silver, land no
base metals approach the weight OF
silver.

The Prohibition Party,

The prohibitionistsw who met in cor
Yention at Pittsburg are intelligent
men. They are staunch believers in
the doctrine they seek to promulgate,
and they combine in their support of
prohibition an earnestness and en-
thusiasm which come only of firm
convictions. So wrapped up are they,
indeed, in their temperance labors,
and so closely are they bound to
every prohibitory interest, that they
are in danger of going too far in their
efforts to secure a result which, if Sc
cured at all, must be brought about
quietly and slowly. Their zeal car
ries them beyond the point where
ordinary discretion would advise
them to stop. This is clearly shown
in their determination in putting a
national prohibition ticket in the
field, thereby making prohibition
paramount to every other interest
affecting the nation. They should re-
member that there are other issues of
a more direct Importance to the coun-
try. The tariff, civil service reform,
our finances, our commerce, the Nor
mon problem and other questions of
like prominence must be consider
ed, and the election must largely de-
pend upon the manner in which these
subjects are interpreted by the poiti-
cal parties to the people. The Pro
hibltionists have not the remotest
hope of electing their ticket, and the
vote they will poll will be very small
in comparison with those of the two
leading parties. Prohibition, strictly
speaking, is not at present a national
issue and it will be found that in
those states where progress has been
made with local option as local
question, there will be falling-off in
the Prohibition vote. The reason
therefor is evident. Locally voted
upon, Prohibition in many sections
can be made success nationally it
cannot. Its strength is too small COM
pared with the opposition, and peo-
pie who look at the situation calmly
are not going to throw away valuable
votes which may WELD the deciding
power in placing the next occupant
in the Presidential chair. 1t is hard
ly good citizenship to vote for an iso-
lated principle which, at least for the
present, is national forlorn nope,
and disregard all the other issues up
on which depend the honor and pros
perity of the country.
The best course for the friends of
Prohibition is to cast their votes
where they will WELD a direct in
fiuence. The temperance people will
serve their cause best by examining
the two tickets nominated at Chicago,
and by de termining to cast their bal
lots for one or the other. Vote for
the party candidates who represent
the safest principles. the highest mo-
rality, and who possess the attributes
which should be inseparably attached
to the representative men of free
government. BaLtO. american.

Mr.. Cyrus W. Field, who knows thing or
two about electricity, in addressing the stock
holders of the New York elevated railways at
their annual meeting the other day, made
special reference to the probability that cleo

as the motive power in the comPany's engines,
and stated that the change might possibly be
made during the coming year. MIR. Edison
has undertaken the solution Of the problem
of generating electricity directly from coal,
but he admits that the task is so difficult that
five years may be required for its perform
ance. In the meantime, however, be is ready
to begin the operation of trains on the elevat-
ed railways by electricity, as soon as his BUSH
ness associates will permit him to undertake
the experiment.
