Gov. Morton. in his great speech in
Indianapolis few days ago, in sum
ming up the work Of the Confederate
House made these truthful observa-
tiOns:
With majority of nearly two-thirds
io the House. they have wholly failed
for eight months to produce any plan
scheme Of relief, or policy, upon the
subject of currency, banking, tariff, or
any other economic question. While
abusing everything that exists, they
produce nothing, can suggest nothing.
They have displayed Imbe ;ility, in
capacity, and upidy of thought and
conception heretofore unknown in the
history of parties. They have shown
strong predictions for the detective
business. but have done nothing to
elevate it's character or remove the
suspicion that naturally attaches to it.
Utterly unable to build themselves up,
they seek to pull others down.

CoMPREHENDs THE SITUATION
The Chicago Times doesn't share the
convictions of some of the lesser lights
of the party, that Tilden is certain to
be elected. In the course of an arti-
Gle reviewing the situation, it says:
"New York is not carried yet, and
it has disagreeable way of casting it's
vote against any candidate dwelling
within it's. own borders. Indiana is
far from being sure thing now that
Ben. Harrison has been placed at the
head of the state ticket. IF Scott
Lords resolution is. anything more
thar a form of words for northern
consumption-if it means fair show
and no intimidation or improper in
auences- Mississippi, Louisiana, and
Florida may give their votes to Hayes
and Wheeler. The political future is
too uncertain for the prophets to make
any very definite calculations upon it.
All things considered, it will be as we'll
for the friends of Tilden and reform
to postpone their Dragging, and expend
their energies ID persuading voters for
the next two months at least.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1876-08-30

The Chicago Post says: Crops are
good, means of transit to the seaboard
for surplus productions are easily avail
able, and rates are cheap. With set
tied putlic policy on money matters,
judicious economy, activity in bust
ness, and determination to be salts
fed with small profits and quick re-
turns, there is no reason why the peo-
Pile cannot 90 on steadily making and
saving money. If we will cut down
our ex1ravagant expenses, spend at
homo. or keep actively employed, the
millions annually squandered in Eu.
rope, aud generally work to build up,
in legitimate every day manner, the
business we may happen to be follow
ing. we will easily bring back good
times. We believe that in Chicago
the opportunities were never better to
purchase properties Of substantial
value, such as real estate that can be
made available for some useful rur.
pose. 1t is lower than for years, and
so low that, with the least revival Of
business, it must pay a high interes,
on anything invested in it.

Cheap Coal.

New YoRK, Aug. 23.-I The Boarc
of Control of the Associated Goa
Companies met Monday afternoon at
the Coal and Iron Exchange to con-
slider the present position Of the com.
bination Representatives of several
companies were present. The meet
ing was held with closed doors and
lasted abou; forty minutes. at the end
ot which it was stated that the Asso-
ciated had been dissolved Members
were reticent as TO the proceedings
but SAID that ,he debate had been ca Im
and wlthout heat. The Bourd of
Control Dire II series of resolutions
exp aiming the rea ols for dissolvlng.
The glst OF hem was to show that the
Lehigh Valley Company had not abd..
ed by the compact Of the Association.
In April last the quota of the Lehigh
valley region was IN excess over 100 :
600 tons, and the representa- 'es OF
that region admitted their inability to
pay the penai'y provided for ip the
aruc.es OF ASSOCIATION. and owing to
this tact resolution was passed at the
meeting of the Board of Control on
May last, to discontinue he Associa
'ion. The Lebigh valley region ex-
ceeded It's quota in the mouth Of June
by rs 555 tons. aud in the month of
July 81 45l tons
Following the resolutions came the
announcement that four stron. com
panies-the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western, the Delaware and Hud
son, the Philadelphia and Reading
and the Pennsylvania Company had
agreed to combine and sell at public
auction. August 20, 100000 tons OF
coal, and les the osher TWO companies
take the consequences.
Mr. Sloan, of the Delaware Lacka-
wanna and Western Company, said
the Lehigh Valley Company was prim-
arily responsible for the disruption Of
the com mbiDation. 1t had .evaded its
obligations, and when called upon to
pay the penalty refused and sought to
temporize.
The theory on the street is that the
strong companies intend to punish the
weak ones SO badly that they will be
only too glad to re enter the colnbina-
ton, and adhere to the compact. The
sale of 100000 tons this week is in-
tended to be the first chastisement.
