Inc Chicago journal says editorial
ly that it is definitely announced that
Col. Thomas A. Scott, tho great rail.
road magnate, has failed.
1t is further understood to be cor.
rect that Commodore Vanderbilt ar.
other railway king is seriously Grin.
pied, if not on the high road to abso-
lutte failure, and further, that his SON.
in-law Clark recently deceased, has
really left no estate, when at his death
it was supposed that he died worth
many millions.
Imitation by watered stocks and
schemes of railway building far be.
You'd practically healthy condition.as
we'll as visionary enterprises in various
other directions,in the pursuit of which
men have sought and thought they &C.
tually realized sudden and immense
wealth, have turned to ashes in their
grasp; the bubble has burst down the
stocks of such institutions have tum-
bled and the immense fortunes of men
whose whole souls were given up to
their requirement and the centraliza-
ton in themselves OF corporate power
and OF wealth, have vanished with
these stocks. True it is that such con.
vuisions effect for the time being the
serious discomfort OF the whole people,
by creating panicky feeling, and con-
scquent stagnation in business, but in
fact the nipping in the bud of the
grasping after the immense consolida.
ton of railroads already attained by
Col. Scott, and still further pursued
by him,ifmade eGectual by his failure,
is real blessing in disguise.
We have frequently called attention
to the great abuse Of the patent privi.
legc in this country under the laws as
they now are, and especially is this
abuse discernable in the matter OF
sewing machines. The Changers OF
the country are especially urging that
the laws shall be amended in respect
to the patcnting of inventions and that
legislation in regard to the extension
Of patents shall be more in accordance
with justice. II is demanded that in
granting patents 3 reasonable royalty
shall he placed upon them for reas.
enable number Of years and then ex.
tend the right of manufacture to any
one who will give the proper security
for the payment Of the royalty. W.
will not attempt to say what may bt
best in the premises, but that Congress
should this winter take some decisive
, steps to prevent the shameful abuses
arising under the patent laws does mo-
seem to us topermit of question. IL
the one article Observing machines inn
mense fortunes have been amassed
rendering the operators so wealthy
that by means of powerful lobby In
flnences they retain their hold upor
the people. These machines should
be furnished to the people at nearly
two thirds less than they are.
i In behalf of the people we demand
the attention of Congress to this mat
ter and that a remedy be provided a,
the earliest possible Gate.

THE HEART.RENDING AFFAIR AT
ALTON.
A Full Account OF the Drowning Of
the Three Little ROya.
From the Alton Tribune, Nov. @.

From the Alton Tribune, Nov. O.
Last Saturday morning about ten
O'Clock, the terrifying cry was heard
on the street that q number Of little
boys had broken through the ice on
the Railroad Reservoir, and were
drowning. Everybody rushed to the
spot l. G. Lilly, G. w. Beymer, j.
NJ. Flemming and Charley Rogers APP
pear to have been the first to reach
the water. When they arrived, Curtis
Heating, Franz johnson, and Charlie
jackson were in the water, clinging
to the edge Of the ice. These they
succeeded in rescuing, when it was
learned to the dismay of all, that
Willie Racquet, Clarence Hammer and
Leroy Heating had been on the ice
when it broke, and were no where to
be found. Measures were at once in
stituted to make the search complete.
In q short time little Clarence was
discovered under the ice, his muller
having caught on the edge prevented
him from sinking to the bottom. He
was taken ont, and strong hopes were
entertained by the agonizing mother
and sympathizing friends, that life
was not extinct-that he would re-
vive to life; but the most exhaustible
efforts were expended to no avail.
Probably an hour was consumed in
searching for the others before they
were found, they having gone down
in water more than ten feet deep, and
no one having any positive knowledge
Of the exact spot. When they were
finally recovered no hope of resusita-
ton could be entertained, though
prompted by sympathy for the par
ents and friends, everything to that
end, known to medical science, or that
love could suggest, was done but to
no avail. The sad reality was forced
upon the minds of all. These three
bright little boys, who at O'Clock had
with Q mothers fond kiss gone TO play
SO full of life, hope and Joy, were
gone-snatched in moment from the
very embrace of love.
Sabbath nlorning-the saddest ever
known in Acknowledgements were
completed and funeral services were
announced for two o'clock r. NJ, at the
Presbyterian Church. At that hour
the mortal remains of the three boys
were conveyed to the church, and
very impressive services were conduct
ed by Rev. Boag, assisted by Rows. st.
Clair, Moore and Prof. Bush--sermon
by Rev. Boag. At the close a pro-
cession, the largest ever witnessed in
Alton, followed the remains to the
cemetery--the last resting place OF all.

former and loveable patriot SO gallant
and true to his country in her peril,
gloriiies thnsly over what he feigns to
think is sign of Democracy return

Al hail the people!
Tuesday was a glorious day for the
Democracy and the people OF this
cOuntry-a day that saw the begin
ming Of the end of Radicalism; the
tide of corruption and oppression
turned back, aud the sunlight of hon.
esty and hope let into the darkened
places Of government.
Steady mo,o along the line,
1t is the time for the exercise of
cool judgment; it is the time to do
nothing hastily. We have gained
glorious triumph; let us use it ju-
dicionsly. The work is not yet done.
When we have thrown up our hats at
the victory won, it will be our duty to
come down again to earnest work.
Let the solid columns of the Democ-
racy be advanced for the fight of '76.

NEW YORK.

New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE general
road and steamship ticket agents held
a meeting to-day and formed o perma-
nent organization for the purpose of
maintaining passenger rates, and pro-
lection against the railroad managers
to abolish the business of commission
agencies. Every agent in the city was
present, and steps were taken to unite
the agents throughout the country. A
committee was appointed to represent
the association at q railroad meeting
In Chicago on the 10th inst.
At a meeting Of the Directors of the
Hannibal & st. Joseph Railroad, A.
w. Lamb, of Hannibal, was elected
President of the company.
BY q boiler explosion on Fourth
Avenue this afternoon, seven persons
were killed and several injured.
The officials of the Hoboken Saw
ings Bank, which has been suspended
nearly ten weeks, report that Fisk &
Hatch will soon resume payments,
when the savings Bank will again open
for business.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE failures
in the tea trade yesterday are attribu-
ted rather to competition, which is
growing up in the west, than to panic.
The Great Western marts, it is said,
are receiving their teas mainly by way
of San Francisco, and many smaller
firms here have been wound up owing
to this withdrawal of trade. The de.
creasing trade is mentioned as the
cause Of one of the heaviest importing
firms advertising two vessels Of their
fleet for sale.
At q cabinet meeting yesterday q
Washington correspondent makes the
President say that he had read that
eighty Cuban insurgents captured as
prisoners of war had been shot on the
field, and while the report lacked con-
firmation he was prepared to hear of
its confirmation. After what had al
ready occurred in Cuba, he was salts
fed that the Spanish government did
not and would not approve of such
butchery. It was q matter, however,
which an enlightened nation could not
overlook, if indeed this warfare was
necessary to the support of the Spanish
republic. Individually he could not
wish such government prospect -
If the Spanish people in their effort to
establish republican form of govern
ment could not control their possess
sions in Cuba, then in the interests OF
humanity he thought it time to inter-
fere, not to encourage the struggling
Cubans, nor embarass the Spanish re
public in any way, but wholly in the
interest of civilization and humanity.
L -
New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE financial
situation is improving and the money
market has fairly settled down to sew
en- per cent. with nothing doing above
that rate. Some trouble is found in
many quarters in placing money at
this rate particularly for government
bonds as security.
The banks have made further gain
of twelve thousand dollars in legal
tenders to-day, making the total now
held by the Associated Banks at twen-
ty-six million two hundred thousand
dollars.
Relief, or loan certificates, issued to
banks during the heaviest panic pres
sure upon them, are being liquidated
gradually, SO as not to bear too heavi-
ly on merchants.

Make it point Of unwayering con-
science to do to others as you would
have others to do to you. There is no
way in which this rule is violated and
the want of love evinced more than in
SANDER. This is the great besetting
sin of the christian world. You can
scarcely spend an hour in company,
even with professors of religion,
without hearing some tale of SANDER
or some disparaging remark. It
ought not to be SO. You have no
right even to reveal a truth against an
absent person unless called to do so
by an imperious duty. The man who
is in the habit OF doing this, I would
never select for my friend. Mark
him, turn from him, and pass away.
The back-biter, the tale-bearer, the
tattler, the gossip, or by whatever
name the wretch is called, is probably
the village caitiff that escapes the hal
ter and the prison. Let justice, can
dor and kindness mark all your inter-
course with your fellow men; let
magnanimity and forgiveness cover
their faults.--Se,moa DR.. Griffin.

The Financial Chronicle, excellent
authority on all business questions,
has no sympathy with the feeling Of
dependency which exists in some
quarters, growing out of the stoppage
Of manufactures in various parts of
the country; and it administers
severe and well-deserved rebuke for
the commercial and monetary distrust
switch designing persons and papers
are attempting to excite 1t says:
There is undoubtedly weak spots in
every trade, and time like the pres
ent tends to bring them to the surface.
But as a whole, the mercantile COM
munity is. beyond doubt, sound and
in better condition than for years be-
fore to meet such a strain as the pres
emit and as money has again became
easy to obtain by all who have un-
doubted security to offer, and is sure
to grow more abundant, there are the
best reasons for viewing the situation
with hope and confidence rather than
with dependency.
This, also, is the view taken by the
New York Bulletin, another able au-
thority on matters connected with
trade and finance. Discussing the
several features of the situation, that
paper observes:
The manufacturers retire, as it were,
before the panic in good order and
condition. When the blow struck
them, they were, as rule, doing a
large and profitable trade, and from
no quarter are there any complaint OF
over-production. Stocks are general.
IL very light, and the credit and re-
sources of employers are comparative
ly unimpaircd. They are all, or near.
ly all, in excellent condition to start
again at any moment. In this very
important and essential respect there
is abundant ground for favorable
hopes of the future.
The Ec0nymist holds similar Ian.
guage declaring that "the alarm man.
ifested during the last few days
is excessive, and to considerable ex.
tent groundless.
The truth unquestionably is that
there is great deal more trouble or
paper than in fact-the result, princi.
pally of the labors of that obnoxious
class Of people and papers, who, fol-
personal or partisan purposes are al.
ways striving to promote furries and
panics. But whatever tends to lower
confidence depresses trade. Let us
have more working and less vvaiIino
