MORE FAILURES.

New York, Dec, 1.-THE Post announ-
Ces the suspension of the old dry goods
and jobbing house of Adriance, Robbins

assigned are the losses by bad debts and
the shrinkage of values.
New York, Dec. 13.-James Leahy an
importer of white goods failed. His lia-
bilities are placed at $150,OO0, one half of
which is due abroad The outstanding
assets are reported weak. Troubles with
government officers and very extensive
business are the asCribed causes of fail
ure.

Savings Institution, the largest in the city,
chartered thirty years ago, has just been
taken charge of by Chancellor, on the
petition of its managers to ensure equal
distribution of assets, and prevent Unfair
ness from possible run.
The bank has about $l2,000,00O assets,
including deprecated securities, and

ONE of the greatest financial calamities
Canton ever experienced, is undoubtedly
the failure of Ballard, Fast & Co., on Fri.
day last. Mr.. Fast, the financial head Of
the firm, died on the Sunday previous
but no one thinks the assignment could
have been averted ifhe had lived. Our cit.
izens had implicit confidence in the com.
pany, and it seems many elderly people,
widows and others, had their money
loaned there, feeling quite secure that all
was well. Alas, for the uncertainty in
human affairs and business promises
these alarming times
We do not learn that there has been
any lack of demand for their manufac-
lures, largely reaper and mower knives,
saws, buggy and wagon springs. They
employed about 1875 hands, and the
works were constantly and vigorously
run. We learn that even now they have
plenty of orders untitled. We hope ar
rangements will soon be made to contin-
ne running the works, Report says the
immediate cause was the failure of a
house in Chicago with which they had
been reciproCating financially, and on
whose paper Ballard, Fast & Co., were to
large amount. However that may be,
the failure is great misfortune in every
respect, to the proprietors, the workmen
and the Confding and numerous Credi-
tors.

comments severely upon one of the gen.

whelmingly in favor of any one of the
eminent and able gentlemen named in
connection with the position, they would
faithfully carry out that expression, even
if by 80 doing they would sacrifice their
personal prediction, This converging
Of public sentiment is going on, and is
finding expression, and our members are
gentlemen who mingle with the people,
and will not fail to learn Democratic
sentiment in Stark on the Senatorship.
No doubt they desire to do so, with a
view to enable them to act understand
ingly in the matter, and also with view
of fully satisfying their constituents, and
preserving harmony and cordiality with
in the party. This we look upon as all
important, and this harmony, so far as
they are concerned, would be endan-
gered should they disregard entirely the
will of the Democracy.

GEO. B. LOUD was superintendent oi
instruction in the third Congressional
district of Louisiana under the Kellogg
administration, and the true inwardness
of his record, which has just been pub
lished by the New Orleans Times, is in
perfect accord with the facts developed
by the Returning Board investigation
when the legality of Nichols election
was disputed. The Times says:
The United States District Attorney
has filed criminal information in the
u. s. Circuit Court against Geo. B. Loud,
charging him with inducing an officer,
by illegal means, to violate his duty in
regard to a certificate as to the result of
the election in the parish of Iberville,
for representation in Congress in the Sd
Congressional district. 1t seems, accord.
ing to the evidence on which the infor-
nation is based, that Geo. B. Loud was
instrumental in having about l 900 bal
lots, on which was the name of Darral,
abstracted from the ballot boxes of the
parish of Iberville, and about that mum.
Der with the name of Acklin upon them,
placed in the boxes, thus changing the
result of the election. 1t is claimed that
this change was discovered when the
ballots were recounted under the act of
the Congressional Committee to take
testimony. Two or three of the parties
who, it Is said, assisted in this transac-
ton, have made statement of the part
which they took in it.

WE admire the judgment Of our mem
Der Of Congress, Major Mckinley, in be-
ing instrumental in securing gentleman
at Washington for editor-in.chief of the
Canton Postofice organ, whose energy
and ability is bound to put life in the
old thing. 1t will wake us all up, per-
haps, and encourage discussion. 1t is
not best to wholly ignore the Postofice,
however, as it is emblematic of the "civil
service REFORM" Of their fraudulent Pres
ident.
The Majors vote, too, in the House,
against the bill to repeal the Sherman
Resumption scheme, should not be for
gotten; and the Repository ought to elab-
crate on this from time to time, and use
whitewash profusely. The abuse it is
Just now heaping upon Joshua Wood, a
Republican, and one Of the County Com
missioners, groundless and villainous as
it is, matters not, so long as it lauds and
whitewashes the gallant Major, who rep
resents this district in Congress. The
Repository, under its present management,
will be assiduous in delicate attentions
to our Honorable M. @.
The Sherman condition of things in
Canton just now is serious, but the Nc
Kinley editor will not say much about
it, at least the Republican party and
John Sherman will be innocent crea-
lures. True, our robbed citizens, many
of them impoverished widow ladies ad-
vanced in years, and laboring men
thrown out of work, may not take the
Repository view of the situation. But all
this will not matter, the Repository must
howl in another direction to save the
blessed Republican party and John Sher-
man, and keep the Major in Congress,
and laud Mr.. Hayes. The new editor
must do all this.

THE Repository claims to have dis

on the part of the Commissioners Of

The gas petition presented to our City
Council on Monday evening was for
midable demand. 1t asked for change
of the late ordinance to 1925 in the win
ter and 1915 in the summer and signed
by 2O7 consumers, representing four
ffths of the gas consumed by private
consumption, and representing, also, a
majority of tax paid. Only six consum-
ers refused to sign, and the rest were not
called upon for lack of time, but the
Council were assured they would nearly
or quite all sign if requested, and an offer
was made by the gas company to procure
their signatures.
After such an expression our "City
Fathers" will doubtless comply. The
right of petition is ssacred in, this country,
as, indeed, now in most monarchial
countries, In this country Members of
Congress, of Legislatures, and City Coun-
ellis are for the time being representa-
tives of the people. A representative,
therefore, is not apt, in this land of gov
ernment by the People, for the people, to
put on airs of authority and superiority,
and disregard an expression such as this.
The right of petition and trial by jury
was pronounced in the Revolution to be
"rights inestimable to the people, and
formidable to tyrants only"
Patrick Henry's rousing words in bis
speech, in the House of Burgesses of Vir-
ginia, were, "0ur petitions have been
slighted-our supplications have been
disregarded, and we have been spurned
with contempt from the foot of the
throne"
