The West, which clamOrs wildly for repu-
diaion, is in better condition financially, and
better prepared to meet the strain which
change in the measure of values inevitably
involves, than the East, which still firmly in
sists upon return to honest money. Another
and very conclusive proof of this fact has
been presented i'll the Quarterly report OF fail
nres bv Dun, Barlow g. Co. As is usual, the
number of failures reported is much less for
the second quarter than for the first quarter
of the year. but the increase III number,
comparing the second quarter OF 1877 with
the second quarter of 1876 is greater than
the increase in the first quarter. Moreover
decidedly encouraging reduction OF average
liabilities to each failure was observed III the
last quarterly return for the first three months
of the year the average was only $l9,OlO
against 1913, OBS for the corresponding quarter
last wear. But the average for the three months
ending June 80 is $23,972, exceeding largely
the average for the first quarter this year or
last year, and closely approaching the average
for the second quarter of 1876.
These are not encouraging facts. They
clearly indicate that at least III some part OF the
country. there has not been the steady change
toward more prosperous business which many
have expected. The April return, when atten-
lively examined, pointed to a revival of steady
and heathfu business III some quarters, but
also showed that the point OF Improvement,
either in number of failures or magnitude OF
LOSSES had not yet been reached in other To-
calites The same conclusion must be drawn
from the latest report. The losses on the Pacific
Coast have been surprisingly large and numer-
Gus. In Maine, the city of Boston, Rhode
Island, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania Maryland
and the District of Columbia, the losses have
been greater in the second than in the first
quarter of the year. thus reversing the usual
relation. At the West, however, marked in
crease appears only in the city of st. Louis
and moderate increase only in Michigan, Min
nesota and Nebraska, while all the other
States report decrease of liabilities of
firms failing, and of number of fail
ures. and even in the Western localities
named, except Nebraska there is decrease in
the number of failures. An improvement so
general and extending over so many States
and cities, cannot reasonably be attributed to
accident-it clearly indicates more heaithful
condition of business at the West The
destruction of crops in Minnesota and Ne
braska, and the collapse of certain speculative
institutions at st. Louis, account for the
changes there. while the improvement at
Chicago and Milwaukee is the more encourag-
ing because it occurs in spite of heavy losses
resulting from the great speculation based
upon the outbreak of the war;
Not only the Western, but nearly all the
Southern States, show improvement. 1t is per-
haps curious that Louisiana, Florida and North
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1877-07-16

Carolina are the exceptions, but the evidence
of more healthy condition of business APP
pears in every other Southern State. In brief
there Is nothing disheartening in the returns,
excepting from the Pacific Coast and the East
ern and Middle States. In this city the gain
is very large. and it is not small in Philadel-
phia. But in the Eastern and Middle states
generally, outside of these cities, the number
and magnitude of failures indicate that the Pc
ROD of steady convalescence has not yet been
reached. Probably the same reason Will
occur to every intelligent observer In tins
section, thousands of persons have suffered
severely through the collapse of corporations
and the loss of investments i'll railways, bank
ing and insurance. The rottenness OF corpora
tons in which large share OF the earnings
of the Eastern people had been placed, affects
most unfavOrably the resources OF many Hhdl-
viduals, their means of payment or purchase
and the general condition of trade.
But even at the worst, the number of fail
ares is small. compared with the number OF
firms reported as solvent 1t Is an evidence,
we hope. rather of natural increase IN the ell
ficiency of the agency, than OF greater crowd
ing of the already Overcr0wded commercial ana
manufacturing pursuits, that the aggregate
number of firms and individuals reported Is
now 701 $50 against 69l, 154 SIX months ago.
But there can be no doubt that the wlp-
ing ont of rotten insurance companies ana
banks, and the enforced reorganization OF
bankrupt railways, though disastrous to indi-
viduals, is necessary preparation for healthy,
honest business hereafter. In many respects
it is to be regretted that exposure and formal
recognition of bankruptcy have been delayed so
long. The losses to individuals have been
thereby sweled and the period of commercial
distrust prolonged. But the very section
which suffers most, and in the nature OF things
must suffer most from any severe STRAIN III the
financial system, is most anxious to have the
agony over, to get rid of all the rotten cor
Germs as soon as possible, to find out just
what must be counted loss, and to reach the
solid foundation upon which trade and INDUS
try may rebuild with confidence.

good many purses which have way OF clos
ing in Summer for repairs. This was very
different case from those which the Society OF
Prevention of Cruelty to Children has recently
discovered In those it was the drunkenness OF
worthless parents which brought misery and
starvation upon the helpless children. But In
this case the parents seem to have been sober
and willing to work, if they could get work to
Go. And yet this family of five have had no
beds but such as they could find in lumber
yards and parks, andtoo often-no food
at all. Where so many such instances
are discovered, the charitable do not need the
sharp touch of Winter TO remind them that the
poor, as well as the rich, must eat all the year
round.

Senator L. Bradford Princes announcement that
he cannot again accept nomination for the Legis-
lature because he is pecuniarily unable" TO spend
anv more of his time in the service of the State is
another reminder of the unfortunate condition of
too many of our public men. Mr. Prince has served
seven years in the Legislature, and has made the
reputation of a singularly laborious and yglant
member. Now when he has really accumulated
valuable experience he is forced to retire, because
he has sacrificed his private interests just as tar as II
is possible for him to do When men OF wealth
and leisure seek public life one Of the most honor
able roads to prominence, or when some one shall
have devised an unobjecionable method OF endow-
ing a promising public man, there may be fewer OF
these anomalies. Meanwhile it only remains to eX-
press the hope that Senator Princes vague antlcpa-
ton that he may be enabled some day to return to
public life will be fulfilled.
