The number of failures in the United


The number of failures in the United
States for the three months ending the
thirtieth of September, was 2450. with liza
bilties amounting to SAT, S57, 900, against
1744, with liabilities amounting to $43,-
III, 900, in the previous three months, and
2S06, with liabilities amounting to $64,-
GA, 900 in the first three months of this
year. 1t was hoped that the number of
failures would be reduced as the year ad-
vanced, and it is somewhat surprising to
the casual observer that the number is SO
largely increased. 1t is to be borne in mind,
however, that the improvement in business,
now so apparent, did not set in until within
the last month of the quarter, and so long
as the depression continued a number of
those weakened by previous losses, as well
as those who started IN business on q small
capital expecting revival of trade, woul
necessarily succumb to the inevitable con-
sequences of the situation. The number OF
failures in the third quarter of last year
was 177l, having liabilities amounting to
$54, 32S, 900. 1t is gratifying to note in all
these comparisons that the amount inv we'd
is much less in proportion to the number of
failures. This fact shows two things: fis-,
that the Indebtedness of those who have
been carried down has been reduced; and,
second, that the disasters are among the
smaller class of dealers, and therefore not
likely to be so calamitous or widespread in
their effects. Certainly it would appear
from these figures that less is lost in bad
debts in proportion to the number of those
who fail.

sions of patriotism will convince anyorc
that he has been UT justly attacked. In thi
speech lie claimed that if there is any CUES

finance. THIS may have beea intended a,
joke by his Excellency, or it mas be a
fact. 1t would be some excuse for his tinan-
cial blundorJ to believe that finance was
the only question he does not understand.
II he does understand it he showed himself
doublY culpablc for ;he outrageous and
f:ightful Increase of the State debt since
he has been in Office. He claims
great credit for funding the public debt.
The Radical party has done the same with
the debt of the United States, and yet we
have failed to hear sny Democrat admit
that it was q great achievement of states
manship. The truth is that a bankrupt
might give his note for all of his debts, but
it would neither decrease his liability mol
benefit his creditors. If solvent man was
to shave his own notes in the market at u
heavy discount TO raise money with which
to pay his debts and repeat this from time
to time, he would soon find himself ruined,
and instead of being called a great tinan-
cier would be considered a great fool
This is exactly what Governor Coke has
done. Every time he wants money, he
trots a financial agent off to Wall street
and sells the Understanding bonds of the
State. Now, how are these bonds to be
met and how Is the interest on them to be
paid 2 Why, selling more bonds. and they,
IN their turn, will be redeemed in the same
manner, every time increasing the debt
The people of the State pay about Sc, 900, =
900 taxes per annum, yet the debt is con-
tinually being augmented. II this is 'finan-
ciering' we are tired of it, and the less we
have Of it, the better"

Ell. STkwARr AND BILLY THOMPSON
ARREsTED. sunset Thursday even
ing Ed. Stewart and Billy Thompson, both
of this county, were arrested by ten of
Major Jones's men, commanded by Capt.
Sparks, at old man Gains, about twelve
miles northeast of this city, just as they
were penning drove of ninety head of
cattle, which they, with several other par
ties, were driving in the direction of Rock
dale for shipment. To get the particulars
regarding this affair. Friday, We called
upon some of the rangers, who stated that
drove of cattle had been stolen in the
counties Of Llano, Mason and Gillespie, and
that they had followed the drove from those
counties. They did not say who had stolen
the cattle, but that they had received a
warrant from this county for Stewart, who
was known TO be one Of the principal men
in charge Of the drove. They stated that
they arrested Thompson with the hope of
getting rewards, which they were informed
had been offered for him for the killing Of a
United States soldier in this city some eight
or ten years ago. and for the killing Of a
sheriff in Ellsworth, Kansas. The rangers
also stated that the drove OF cattle had
been separated somewhere near this city,
one portion Of which had been regularly
inspected, having passed nesr this city,
sud the other, which had all been stolen,
around the city. Stewart and Thompson

of the Austin city precinct, in regard to
the establishment of graded schools, is the
correct one, and should be in force in

500 REwARD.-We take pleasure in call
ing the attention of farmers, freighters and
others TO the celebrated LaBelle and late
improved Jackson wagons, which are the
best manui acturcd, and we will sell them
at bottom prices to suit the times. Certain
parties in Austin take pains to tell custom
ers that we have had wagons returned, ties
to set, hub bands set, etc. Such is false.
We will pay 800 to any party who can
prove that we have had any such repairs to
the present date. As to the reverse, we
have given entire satisfaction to all. Ask
those using our wagons for reference. We
refer you to all of them. They are the
highest draft and most durable; the wheels
are rolled in boiled lInseed oil. See them
before buying. We Won't be undersold on
the same class of material and work. Every
