HE Coal TRApE.-A consultation Oh the
authorities of tho State Of Maryland and the
Ghesapcake AID Ohio Canal Company vas held
10 Baltimore yesterday. The Gazette says that
/. was definitely determined to reduce the rates
# toll On the canal to meet the reduction made
hy the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Official
action will bc taken in the matter at the next
meeting Of the canal board. The exact amount
ri TIC reduction has not been fixed, but it Is
understood that the rate from Cumberland to
Georgetown will be about % cents less than the
rate charged By the railroad from Cumberland
to Locus. Point, rs it requires Tor the canal to
compete with the railroad that its tolls shall be
that much less than the railroad charges, the
cost Of traus.hipmeut at ueorSetown, the ter.
minus Of the canal, over Locust Point beiaG
about % cents per ton.
The Cumberland News 0! yesterday has the
following toms -
"A considerable impetus was given the bust

The New York World well says: Employ
ment, the security Of his household the educa
ton of his children. all depend for the Amer
lean working man upon the supremacy of law
and upon the prosperity of the community
No decent and respectable man can expect
any good to come out of riot and disorder, nc
matter on what pretext they originate
Men do not gather figs from thistles mol
grapes from thorns; and fair wages and
steady employment and the confident faith
of capital which leads to enterprise cannot
live in one land with the wreeking of rail
roads. Even the tramps. oilers and knaye,
who rush into a civil broil on the theory that
their lot can be no worse are always sure to
find that disorder makes it worse. Society
is a great ship to which all mems lives and
treasures are intrusted ; and not even a
steeragc passenger can afford to take part in
a mutiny or to scuttle the vessel in the blind
hope of being avenged upon the people in
the cabin. Our tradcs-unioniSts may see
something Of their own work in these dis
orders Their procliyity for Incorporate
discussion, their distrust of employers, their
incorporate inyectiyes against capital and
"sOulless corporations, have unquestionably

The Presidents order Defined.

At the regular monthly meeting Of the
22i ward Republican association of Brook
Ign, n. Y, held July 18th, Corporal james
Tanner rendered his resignation as mem
Der of the association lie said he was led
to this course out of respect to the request or
order Of the Executive of the nation. lie
would state in this connection that in the
course of n somewhat lengthy conversation
with the President yesterday afternoon, he
(the speaker asked him explicitly if it was
intended that the order should apply to
membership in Ward associations, and also
to the right to vote at primary elections for
the choice of candidates, or was it not in.
tended to 90 so far. The illustration which
the President used completely shut him of
as to any ambiguity in the Interpretation Of
the order. The President, he said, stated
that it was his purpose to eliminate Office
holding from party politics and that in his
opinion there was no use in continually lop-
ping of the branches when the whole sys-
ten could lie dug up at the roots The
Presidents opinion is that the root of the
whole matter is in the primaries and mem
bership in Ward associations. If thing is
done there all further action was rendered
unnecessary. The President further stated
to him (Isan.rl that he did not propose in
the slightest degree to interfere with any
man right TO express his opinions, or in
writing or publishing his views upon polit-
zeal topics, but he wanted officeholders to un-
derstand that they should
NOT TAKE PART IN POLITICAL CONVENTIONS.
The speaker said the order of the Presi-
dent would certainly make him feel little
more independent, little more like free
lance. 1t gave him some qualification to
know that severing his connection with the
Ward Association gave him the high pre-
rogative of an individual citizen to approve
or disapprcye of candidates for Office lie

hunting ground OF the past
