10 Don Cameron a Fool "A Painful!
COnundrum.

We have always insisted that
Secretary Don Cameron isn't foot;
but if he'is correctly reported as to
his Inauguration of violent military
operations in South Carolina, to be-
followed by like usurpations lis
Mississippi and Louisiana, he
must either be simple beyond what
even his worst enemies have ever
charged, or lie must mean TO elect
T,ltien President. Ii he is 80 stone
blind as not to see that Ohio, La
diana and West Virginia, voting
under the Inspiration OF a P1esiden
tial election. have matle a most
lmperious demand for peace in the
south. las is TO be pitied, for the
man who runs may read it SCI, and

According 10 the last repor: OF
Dunn's Commercial Agency, which
is standard. authority on such mai
fers throughout the world, the com
mcrcial failures in the United
States from January LIST to October
ls', 1916, are fifty per cent greater
in number, aud twenty five mil
lions of dollars or cater in amount
Of liabilities than from the LIST oil
January TO LIST Of October, 1875.
The number of failures for nine
months in 1876 is seven hundred
and niaety -uine, or about Is per
cent greater than for the whole
twelve months of 1875.
This exhibit is really appalling.
and is More significant because an
increased number of failures show
thai the bankruptcy is Spreading
among the smaller houses. and into
the rural districts and interior
towns.
1t Is to he feared that ul!css
something occurs to check it, in the
way Of some change to inspire
greater confidence in the CONNER
cial commu sity ,.that the disasters
will increase even in greater ratio
than the last and hardest q 1arter Of
the year. These unquestiunable
facts efectually dispose OF the ar
gument so much Urged of late, that
times had already grown better
and there WAS cons. queniiy nc
longer any necessity for change
n public affairs generally, or the
financial policy Of the country. We
wish times really were better, Tut
it is only toe plain that the Centen
NAL excitement and natural ami
nation of early Fall trade have
been mistaken for permanent re
vival Of prosperity.
The rush of Centennial travel has
made show of increased business
about railroad tines and the hotels
Of certain large..cities, but the sad
story of a frighiful increase OI
bankruptcy proves that we are still
Oh the downward path, and mas
in prudence try some other road
than the one now leading us to
ruin.

opposed Mr.. Gays position on tie
United States Bank question, aud
gradually drew nearer to Gen.
jackson, whose naturalization
course he earnestly supported in a

Kentucky. One article attracted
Jackson's attention, and resulted
in Blair, who had never seen the
President, accepting an offer to go
to Washington and edit Jackson 8
organ, The .Gto6c, soon to be establish

ducted the Globe through both of

insisted on Blair giving way to

wards besought by President Polk
to resume his old pfare, refused to
do SO. He also declined the Span
