Cuttina Coal Rate..

TOLEDO, OHIO, June las a result of
the aggressiveness of the Chesapeake,
Ohio and Southwestern road in cutting
coal rates, a meeting of traffic officials OF
lines interested was held here to-day and
cut of 20 cents ton decided upon from
the Ohio mines and from the Pittsburg
district. The Michigan Central protested,
but it went unheeded. The cut is not ex-
pected to stop at 20 cents, and the board of
control of the Joint Traffic Association will
be powerless, because coal was exempt
from the agreement. The war is expected
to affect the alleged coal trust in the pub
lies favor.

One day, when lying grapevine tel
egram of Union disaster had enabled
the brokers in Wall street to swoop
down OH the national credit and buy
themselves rich in a few hours, the
gaunt Lincoln went over to the war de-
partmert. hoisted himself with swing
on to long oak table, and bringing
down his clinched fist like maui said !:
"Stantor, do you know what think?
think that the men who are speculat-
ing in the life blood of this nation, as
those fellows in New York are doing,
ought to be hanged. Don't you?"
At all events. the national debt was
confirmed and made valid by the recoil
at Gettysburg. The people did not then
know that the debt was to become the
great fundamental fact in our subse-
quent history. The people We're intent
ON the battle. They were glorious in
their. determination to see the battle
through. While they were fighting it
out victoriously an enemy took posses
sion of the house, whose expulsion has
not yet been effected and who now OPEN
ly advances his pretensions to be tho
original owner Of the premises. He says
that the American people, being bound
to him in contract which he has al
ready changed three or four times in his
own interest. must now either discharge
their mortgage with a dollar worth 70
cents, or else he will rightfully fore
close on the farm and make them all
tenants at will forever. 1t is bad bust
ness. Gettysburg made the flag supreme.
Our conste llation of stars has spread to
a cluster of 46, but Gettysburg also
brought to loyal Shy lock such an oppor-
tunity to spoliate the world as he had
not enjoyed since the Napoleonic wars.
The recoil of the Confederacy on the
Sd of July determined the general linn
its of the conflict. The war lasted for
81 months and 6 days, but never after
ward was the impact of the southern
armies what it had been before. The
Confederates fought Oh, but it was a
sullen, heavy, defensive, despairing
fight. There was no abatement of
courage or Of the declared purpose to
win or die, but the fury and arrogance
of the Confederacy were gone, never to
return. Lee and Johnston knew it. Da-
Wis and his cabinet knew it, and it was
not long until the whole world knew it
also.
After Gettysburg the descent Of the
secession cause down into darkness and
the oblivion of the underworld was
constant and irrevocable. No power
could shore up the tottering fortunes Of
that brave, i'll starred, reckless thing
called the southern Confederacy. Iu
prize fight there is always critical
blow. Sooner or later one of the COM
batants receives a shock that reaches to
the nerve centers and weakens him from
head to foot. He staggers to the ground,
but rises on time and smiles He throws
himself into posture, and his hackers
shout and bet more money-and lose it,
Their favorite has had blow from
which he cannot recover, and ere long
he goes to his corner in the unconscious
ness Of semideath and despair.
The strong and defiant south stood

thus in the arena on the Sd of July,
1853. About o'clock in tho afternoon
a blow was delivered by the Union
army which, falling over the heart Of
tho enemy. laid him low on the bloody
slopes. That blow made all his future
risings and fencings and bravado to be
no moro than the expiring rounds and
dragging afterplay of contest that was
already decided.
The political structure of half the
world was affected by the shock of Get
tysburg. A poet, musing Oh Little
Round Top in the twilight Of that awful
day, might see Sedan as we'll as Appo-
mattox in the distance. The French
army occupied the City Of Mexico on
the 10th of June, 1868. Lee had already
crossed the Potomac. The foreign regen-
cy was established while he was at
Chambersburg Seven days after the
great battle the hereditary Mexican
monarchy under Catholic emperor was
proclaimed. Napoleon III, that son Of
Hortense and Somebody, hybrid Of
sphinx and Mephistopheles. had care
fully planned to profit by our wreck.
His idea was to enrich the Latin races
with the f1otsam and jetsam Of tho
American catastrophe And things went
we'll with him until the recoil of Lee.
That event showed that the Confed-
eracy was for the pseudo Bonaparte q
delusion and snare. If Lee had won,
Napoleon could have supported his
usurpation in America. His farreaching
intrigue might have been successful, for
who was there to impede his purpose:
We may still see the political complex
ion of France changing-as Eugenie's
countenance changed-at the news of
Gettysburg. The break Of Picketts col
umn was also break in the dikes Of
the second empire. Napoleon g abandon
ment of Maximilian and his shrinking
back under the menace to Grant was
the emperor's first retreat. After that,
retreating became his mood and habit
until he found himself at last begirt
with hellfire in the crater Of Sedan.
The poet Of Round Top, still rapt in
vision at the tremendous sundown Of
that day, might see Jefferson Davis,
with few remaining comrades, flying
before the Union cavalry from Charlotte
into the somber woods of Georgia. He
might also see the tall figure Of Maxi
milan standing in the morning light
before the leveled muskets of the aven-
gers outside the gates of Queretaro. He
might also see at the back door of the
Louvre at midnight on the Sd Of Sep
tember, 1870, the Count de Lesseps,
with the fallen empress of the French,
flying to the English coast, and might
hear as the carriage rolled away the
gamin cry, "There goes Mrs. Bona
