d. Thompson & Co., st. Louis, Mo-,
and New York. This work is sold
through agents exclusively. 1t is de-
signed, not only to serve the popular
taste and want in giving, exhaustive
ly, the facts in the boyhood and man
hood of the candidates-their private
lives and public services-but to have
a more enduring interest than the
ordinary campaign book. To this
end the publishers have engaged on
the work a corps of skilled designers
and engravers to elegantly and pro-
fusely illustrate the scenes and Incl
dents in the lives of these eminent
men, now so prominently before the
people. Personal anecdotes and rem
iniscences will constitute leading
and certainly most entertaining and
instructive feature of this timely
work.
Col. Triplett has marked ability,
and enjoys especial distinction as a
biographical writer. While exhaust
i've in the recital of facts, his powers
of analysis, and his keen insight into
the philosophy of events and meas
u"es, give him special prominence
among American writers of personal
history. 1t is not too much to say
that he is better prepared for the
work in hand than any other Ameri-
can author.
The books from his pen, Of which
several have been published, have
met the popular taste and been more
ordinarily successful. They have
gwen him high rank among Ameri-
can authors, and the public men of
the day. This has given him I'M
surpassed facilities for procuring all
the material for the work now in
land. AS book of fascinating in
terest, beauty and profuseness of fact,
it will commend itself to every voter.
To the book agent this rare combi-
nation of authentic history, pictorial
illustration and brilliant authorship,
will at once suggest the universal de-
mand it will create, and also the adj
vantages in interest it has over the
ordinary campaign book, and the
grand opportunity it offers for profit
able agency. We advertise it in an
other column.

Eastern Tieacs of the Coat Trade

-New York. -Bituminous quiet with
the usual range of prices and quail
ties. Concerns are Offering coal at
very low prices, both here and in
Philadelphia, with effect to depress
the market. The transient trade is
of small moment.-Mining Record.
In the soft coal trade there is real
~ so little that is new or worthy Of
record that the situation may be fair
ly expressed in the report of low
prices, goodly toMnages and an ex-
tended range Of qualities. With
prices favorable to consumers as at
present, it wouId be more than sur
prising if there were not a large in
crease in the tonnage produced.
This quality OF coal is apparently uo
longer sold on its merits as steam
producer, in comparison with hard
coal. but each and eyerY concern in
the trade seems to be engaged In "a
fight for position on the tonnage re-
ports. A concentration Of interests
sending their product to competitive
points is the only feature that can
offer an improvement in prices.
Some of the best coal known to the
seaboard trade has been sold here at
$500 unloaded, while other Goals
having not so good u standing haze
beaten this price very largely.-Coal
Trade JouyRul.
The market is extremely dull.
Prices remain low aud freights con-
tinue unprecedentedly favorable to
shippers.
Philadelphia. - The bituminous
people have very little TO say.
BOstOa.-We hear of rather more
bltuminous trade than usual for July,
not in the way of large contracts, but
in transient business. There is
tendency on the part of those who
began the year on anthracite to con-
tinue on bituminous, and it is be,
lieved that this causes much of
the trade now reported. Prices re-
main very low, and a cargo Oh the
market, as one of Cumberland coal
has recently been, is hard to dispose
of much above $3.50 delivered. We
quote a range OF $3.6O@$3.70 for
coal with a reputation. Engineering

PRESIDENTIAL nominees are be.

PRESIDENTIAL nominees are be-
ginning to appreciate the gravity of
the situation. The ghouls are at
work in that part of their private
lives best typifed by graveyard,
and nameless crimes are coming to
the surface. Mr.. Cleveland is under
going this ordeal with grim serenity,
and the shadow of similar charges
are threatening Mr.. Blaine's pathway.
Aside from the unwholesome suggest
iveness of such details, the moral
sense Of conscientious people is shock
ed and driven from a choice of the
best good to a lesser evil. To a
stranger on our shores it would seem
that political parties make it a point
to select the worst men to lead them
to what they call victory, and at the
same time that the grade of personal
baseness grows in inverse ratio to
the magnitude of the Office sought.
All this demonstrates that the man.
agement of our politics is in the
wrong hands, just as was the prosecu-
ton before our Saviour of the woman
taken in adultery. This gigantic
scandal business should stop, else the
politician electors of all parties
should select their candidates from
among the angels.
