/" disastrous than in the Eastern and Middle

" disastrous than in the Eastern and Middle
Estates" but it is fair to question whether It
is not also due in part to greater comparative
completeness of reports from the Western
States. Undoubtedly the agency is in that respect
the more valuable, If this be so, to the East
ern merchants, whose chief anxiety is to ascer-
tain the standing of distant applicants for credit.
But the value of the statistics in the uses OF
economic science depends greatly upon their
completeness in different sections and at differ
ent times. We know that they have grown
much more complete in the country as whole
within six years, and may fairly presume that
they are still more complete in some sections
than in others. To what extent this affects
the conclusions suggested by the proportion OF
firms to failures we are not prepared to say.
On the whole, the report for 1875 is not
discouraging, because it shows that the aver
age of liabilities to each failure is lower than 1t
has been in any year since 1864, If this indi-
Gates, as is generally believed, that the aver
age of commercial Indebtedness has been ma
terially reduced it is another proof that we
are nearer the solid bottom. upon which we
can build with safety.

cOAEIING REDIyITTS

The appointment Of Mr. A. b. Cornell to the
Naval ONCE will provoke neither surprise nor
much regret. lie was thrown out of the
Western Union and had no way Of making
"a living; he has been a faithful party
worker and may be thought by his associates
entitled to party support; and no is at any
rate better man than Mr.. Latin, whose place
he takes. So, considering that this is still Gen.
Grants Administration, we may be thankful it
is no worse.
The appointment shows that Mr.. Conklng
is busiy repairing damages and getting ready
for fresh campaign. Mr.. Cornell has been
his most efficient and faithful supporter; and
at Saratoga last Fall had some reason
to think (and, it is believed, to say) that the
Senator did not treat him handsomely. The
Senator has made it UP now. has rewarded
faithful service, and probably secured future
support. SO, only few days ago he took care
of Gov. WOOdford. II the genial Brooklyn
orator had not been eloquent once too often,
in his spirited speech for Conkling at Gin
cinnati. he might quite possibly have had
Wheelers place. At any rate, men COM
mented on il at the time as an in
stance of prompt retribution, when he

significance of decisive defeat OF Butler ana

now once more that any Republican in Massa-
chusetts may bolt the nomination OF MI
Butler, and that so far from losing standing III

to strengthen himself by inviting an opposition
that helps more than hurts, and builds up

Massachusetts politicians are learning gradu-
ally but surely that after all manliness pays
in politics as In everything else. MIR. Hoar is
the Senator-elect from Massachusetts to-day, be-
cause, first of his own ability and high ciarac-
ter and his honorable public record, and second
because he is known by the people OF his
State to have acted up to his own convictions
of duty in opposition to dictaton from caucus
or party, and in spite of either bullying or
Establishments. That sort of thing does pay
in the long run. In this case Mr.. Butler has
made one Senator by his opposition aud un-
made another by hi Ostentatious support.
