birth, has resigned his position on that

CONGRESS DOING ITS DUTY.

Tho Republican majority in the For
tieth Congress are doing excellent SER
vice for their country, and, consequently
for their party. Every possible facility
is sought oct and offered to the recon-
strueting States to restore themselves to
civil rule and full national relationship ;
tho financial affairs of the country are
being handled with much skill and with
q conscientious regard for the credit of
the Republic; and, as all must rejoice
to see, Senator Wilson, Chairman of the
Military Committee of the Senate, has
introduced q bill for the reduction of
tho army to peace basis. There is a
most encouraging prospect that the re-
bellion which four years of loyal effort
were consumed in suppressfng will be
6nally superseded by acceptable civil
governments throughout the South by
the time the succeeding four years of
Congressional legislation are completed.
The obstinacy which the President has
shown IN opposition to the plan Of re-
construction devised by the representa-
tive branch of the government, and the
no less fsctional position assumed by
<he Democracy in their National plat
form, asw that the restoration of the
Southern States is a fact accomplished.
and the insolent defiance of the loyal
purposes which are evinced by the NOM
fnation of Seymour, has had the effect
TO strike anew the lines which, at the
breaking out of the war were drawn be-
tween the friends aud enemies of the
government. The campaign opens aus
piciously and the wise and moderate
action of Congress adds to the strength
of the Republican party everywhere
Grant and ColfsX will receive the lar
Gest popular vote ever given to any
candidate for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency of the United States.

| SALVATION To BosroS. -" Roland" the
| Union tells of the following grand scheme
for the reconstruction OF bus mess in Boston;
Still another scheme for arresting the
commercial decay of Boston has been
| preached within few days, anu its spon-
| sors confidently assert that it is the panacea
the cure-all OF buston business ills.
think there is much il it. TIE new pro-
| ject is to erect an immense building for an
| Exchange, which shall accommodate every
| branch of business carried on in the city.
| and combine under one roof the Brokers
| Board, the Shoe and Leather, Corn. Wool,
| Cotton, Manufacturers Exchange, and con-
s,itute the headquarters OF business men IN
all departments.
To illustrate II Western merchant
comes on here to transform a shipment of
grain into domestic goods, gong to the Ex-
change, say at p. NJ, he finds the grain
merchant, who will buy his grain, the dealer
in cotton goods who WI sell him what he
wants, ard the railroad freight agent who
VIII give him the rates of freight for the
grain he wants TO bring aid the goods he
wants TO send. In word, the object of this
new enterprise Is 10 centrallze busIness-to
secure unity of action by all business men.
The contrary policy has been pursued here,
heretofore, and has resulted very DISASTROUS
ly to the business interests of Boston. We
have taken a lesson from the Western cities,
where representatives of all business inter
ests move as one man. This project was
conceived by the Reception Committee at
the recent Commercial Convention-forty
Young merchants and business men, MANY Of
whom were previously unacqualnted with
each other, but VINO, in their meet ings with
reference to the affairs of the Convention,
became convinced of the advantages Of har-
monious action. They have maintained
their organization and have held monthly
meetings ever since the Convention in Feb
ruarv, and the project is the result Of their
deliberations. A Committee, appointed for
the purpose. have secured the finest site iI
the city-the land between Mix and Water
on Washington street. and including the
Old South Church property, and it is pro-
posed TO erect thereon a building az a cost o
$500, 900 for a General Exchange. The ha If
nj l'i"n j. to be raised by 2 900 subScr iptions
of S250pach, and the rent Of stores in the
lower story of the building, it is believed,
" i'll pay at least three per cent. on the in
vestment A moderate fee fer membership
will be charged, and ultimately stock in this
exchange will become, i, is thought, highly
re- nu1erative. The scheme is il the hands !
Of our Young merchants active, hopeful and
intelligent men. Our retired capitali>ts-
men who made their money in former |
age and who can do nothing now but take |
care Of their wealth. and deplore the COM
nercial decay Of Boston-are left out in the
cold. 1t has been the grand mistake Of our
business men within the last dozen years
they have trusted to these fossils 70 look |
But for the welfare of the city this mistake
S seen now, and l hope a brighter era is
about to dawn upon us.

A Suggestion and a Questior.-e Old
Fashioned winters" dc.

EDITORS TRIBUNE believing that your
numerous agricultural readers may benefit
each other by "giving in" their experience
on subjects relating to the farm and the
garden, and knowing that two heads are
better than one, though one may be cab
bage head, and willing, moreover, to prac-
tice what preach, by way of encourage
ment, and to gain information, ask the
following question;
Will super phosphate, or any other fertil-
izer, sown on wheat in the spring, soon af.
ter the frost leaves the ground, benefit the
growing CROP
Mr.. Coursey, in his interesting communi-
cation in your last number, does not speak
on that point If he, or any other OF your
readers has had experience in that way,
would be glad to hear from thtm.
| AS to our winters becoming mildcr there
are two sides to that question. know it is
a common remark that they arc milder than
they were in "old times" That of 1929
was undoubtedly hard one, but that date
can hardly be classed with the ancient win
tiers our fathers told of, but belonged rather
to modern times, going to prove, so Tar as
it does go, that we are not much further
from the north pole than we were hundred
years ago. The winter of 81 is rather furthe
back, and was so mild that the ground wa
not frozen at any time sufficient to proven
blowing i remember hearing an cd farm
er say he had a yearling calf which lived gu
the whole of that winter without any fodder
and kept in good condition. The truth i
we know but little of the tdso, if there i
one, which regulates our exceedingly
changcablc climate. Without knowing til
actual facts of the case, venture to CUES
that at the average temperature of our win
tiers be increasing or otherwise, the ertreHe
are greater than formerly. Or in othe
words, the range of the thermometer
greater during our winters than it was fift
years ago. Who knows?
The present winter has been very favor
r able one so far, for fruit buds and vines.-
But II is rather early yet TO make predic
tions as to the coming crop. Better nc
, halIoo until we are out Of the woods.
