Mr.. Murphy, the temperance speaker, has, for

The Memphis (Tenn.) Appeal, albeit democrat

the incentive for living an upright, useful life.

A Bad Time to Fail.

Three years ago, men who failed 10 bus
mess easily frightened their creditors, and
when they returned large indebtedness
with small assets, they were able to make
settlements on their own terms. Some of
these men who have never lessened their
family expenses, after having paid their
creditors the small per centage they were
induced to take, and got rid of their legal
responsibilities, are now engaged in busi-
ness transactions that indicate little dim
mutton either in capital or credit. Two
years ago these easy settlements were pos
sibe, but only a good reputation or mis-
fortunes that were due to no fault of his
own could carry a man through bankrupt
cy without an investigation of his affairs.
Creditors had become suspicious. but they
were not unreasonable. They had been
over-reached by men of such note that
they had suspected no trickery. They had
been victimized by sharpers, notwith-
standing the exercise of ordinary pru-
dence. They knew the times were hard,
and that there must be failures. and they
only desired protection for themselves and
justice TO others. The experience of the
past two years has had hardening influ-
ence upon men, and when Il man fails,
creditors want reason for 1t. Ii he has
had money, they propose to find out where
II has gone. People have been cautious
about lending, and it has not been easy to
get credit of a million of dollars on as
sets of only hundred thousand, and
statements placing Indebtedness largely
above assets now invite severe scrutiny
where they once secured easy compromise
1t is not good time for man to fail the
day when creditors quietly set down bad
debts in the account Of profit and loss has
passed, and the more magnificent the TAIL
ure the greater the suspicion and the more
scrutinizing the inquiry. Business men
believe they are on the threshold OF better
times, and they do not propose to have
them postponed by unnecessary failures,
or by settlements with bankrupts that
shall keep from them the dividends to
which they are entitled. OF course there
will be res,-there must be,-but for
all that 1t is bad time for man to fail,
as some are finding out.-Bost0n Trarel

THE COMMUNE IN OHIO POLITICS.
From the Phila. Times.
Every honest laborer as well as every
man who owns or hopes to own dollars
worth or property, should stripe Judge
West and Senator Matthews in pairs from
one end OF Ohio to the other. Both are
lawyers; one has been judge and admins
tered the laws, and the other Is paid tens OF
thousands annually for protecting the pro-
pelty of corporations and individuals, and
yet both crawl down into the mire of the
Commune to carry an election. Their hol.
low, lawless professions are palpable false
hoods and deliberate insults to every man
who would earn an honest living by honest
labor. They assume that the laborers OF
the country are idlers and agrarians, igno-
rant and unreasoning, and every friend OF
a prosperous industry should resent the
false teachings of the blatant demagogues
VINO come with studied deceit to plunge the
whole labor of the country into anarchy.

SHORT OF PROVISIONS.
General Gourkha has sent word to

Strong reiaforcements have already
