IT was, to some extent, the character
of the men appointed to responsible pO-
sitions by the late Legislature, and not
q desire to assume unusual powers, that
led Governor Hovey to test the legis-
lative authority in the courts. That he
was wise in so doing, and his action
beneficial to public interests, is proved
by the result in the Supreme Court COM
mission case. The fact that the decis-
ions of the court are adverse to him in
the cases of the trustees for the public
institutions affords no cause for regret
that the suits were brought, but the
contrary, since they afforded an Oppor-
tunity for the settlement of doubt
full legal points beyond further
controversy. 1t is to be regretted that
the law gives him no power to undo the
work of an INSCRIPTIONS and corrupt
Legislature by appointing to the posi-
tions named men who are at once trust
worthy and capable of performing their
duties intelligently. AS it is, these in
situations will come under the control of
men who have no more knowledge of
their needs or personal interest in main
tanning a high standard of efficiency in
their management than had their imme-
date predecessors, which is putting the
matter very strong. The only thing
the public can do is to keep a sharp eye
upon the new incumbents, with the hope
that espionage may restrain them from
mischief in some degree, and to look
forward hopefully to time when the
institutions may be placed under nom
partisan management.

time extending the same order to the four
passengers inside the coach. O1e OF the
passengers clinched pistol in his hand
and began firing at the robber. The des-
peralo returned the ire, and although Il g
driver whipped the horses into gallOp, his

ceded that he will not get the nomination
on the fret ballot, but after this is cast,
his friends expect that he will get the
msjority of the votes cast for Kline and
this will give him the nomination. Meals
friends are confident and are working
hard. Several of the northern counties
will send mass delegations and the
Neal men claim that they will have these
votes. This. however, is not so certain.
This convention will be in strange con-
trsst with the late one OF the Republicans.
That convention nominated man who
was disliked by the leaders Of the party
who did not have the support of single
Republican Congressman, and who was
forced on the convention by the dictation
of gang OF FOraker's choosing. 1t was
Foraker's convention and he nominated
himself. Bat the Democratic convention
will be a convention OF party; there
will be no gag Law, no bOssism. II will
not be packed in the interests OF fany one,
nor will it be dominated by sdministra-
tion myrmidons.

A BIG SOFT COAL DEAL.
All Plttsburg Coal to be Handled by One
Company-Details of tho Plan.

All Plttsburg Coal to be Handled by One
Company-Details of tho Plan.
PITTsBURd, August 26 A company TO
control the Monongahels river coal is ready
to do business.
The new company will buy out all the
coal lands, Improvements and other
properties along the river.
The old coal coal operators are to hand
over the buainess they built up to men
who have acquired capital in other
branches of commerce and manufacture.
This deal is not the consolidation talked
of come months since; it is case of buy
and sell, wherein the seller can take the
cash or stock in the new company, or ne
may take part cash and part a;ock.
The buyers are Eastern and Eastern
capitalists who are represented by one
Pittsburg and one EASTERN man. William
p. shinn is the Eastern representative.
There is now scarcely doubt that the
deal will 20 through. Several quiet meet
ing of the heavy operators have been held
lately, and nine of the biggest concerns
have placed prices on their plants. 1t has
been decided that it will require $l3 600,
600 to swing the deal, including the sggre-
gate the sellers are willing TO take.
The heaviest firms who have given OPP
tions sre Walton & Co., Browns Sons,
Thos. Fswcett tS Sons, John A. Wood &
Co., S. S Orump, Rsher, Blackburn,
Grand Lake Company, Horner q Roberts,
Geo Lysle & Sons, J. s. Neel, Snesthen x
Wilson. which, with nine of the above, in
clults the Pltisbure Southern.
"Yes, it ia true that we have named our
dgures for all cur property" said Capt.
Sam Brown to-day, land it now remains
for the buyers to send on their engineers
and experts to make their estimates.
As l understand it, every heavy opera
tor has named his figures. Those
who don't care 20 take stock in the new
| company will be bought out root and
branch. Yes, may take stock in the new
concern if it is organized on principles OF
vh'ch 1 approve; if not, there may be q
transfer on q clear cost basis. The purchase
of the property OF each concern includes all
coal franchises, landings, steamboats,, bar
yes, good will, etc. Money? Certainly
there Is money in IT, Why, in the matter
of Office expenses alone the new company
can save SlO0. 600 per year. Moreover,
each large operator employs mine SUI
perint3adent. This position can be
handled by one man and an assist
ant That will save at least 500 d
year, and in the matter cf coal ship
ments a greater saving than all is possible
Where Individual firms send out boat
with half tow there need be no boat "a
ont without a full to8r That will cut ex-
penses in this department fully so per
cent. Furthermore, there is big saving
in the matter of mining, craft, etc. Alto
gether figure that the saving will amount
to S25O. 900 per year, and that is more than
enough to pay per cent. dividend on the
stock. In that saving has not been in
cluded retrenchments in lower ports where
one landing and one agent will DO the work
of dczsn."
1t ia understood that Mr.. Shinn is to be
the President Of the new company, with
headquarters in New York.

DAYTON, o., August 20 Judging
from present indications there will be o q
immense thIo1g of enthusiastic Democrats
at the convention. Almost oil the
prominent politicians are he'e. Re
publican organs are trying to make cspi-
tai Of the fact that there are three csndi-
dates in the field. This is the mereat bosh.
There is no. the least bitterness or per-
sonal animosity in the contest, and there
never, perhaps, was a contest carried on
in Ohio politics with lees. Never we're
the Democrats so united az at present
there is not single sore-head IN the party.
Whoever eets the nomination will
be sure to have the hearty support
Of the defeated candidates. Republicans
90 not appear to remember how many
candidates there were before their conven-
ton and also the disreputable methods by
which the nominees secured the pr'1s.
