An exchange says it is a deplora-
BILE feature of our political life though
not the fault of the system, that the
elections for the choice of State off
GERS who frame and administer laws
that most closely relate to the vel
fare of the common wealth, usually
call out a far less proportion of the
voters than the Presidential cleo
tions. A comparison of the vote OF
a few of the States at Presidential
elections with the vote of off years,
shows that practically the theory on
which our Government is based, that
the majority shall rule, is inopera-
tive, if it is not often reversed. In
New York the difference between the
vote cast in the last Presidential
election and election of 1877 was
529, 900. In Pennsylvania the silent
VOTE in 1877 was 209, 900; in Ohio,
95, 200. The vote in. Illinois in 1916
was 1S9, 900 more than in the State
election next preceding. No further
illustration is needed to show the in.
difference of a very large proportion
of the people to the immediate ques
ton of home rule. 1t is this indif
%erence that d~etracts from the char
acter of our State Legislatures, and
often makes the minority the govern
ing class.

The authentic figures of actual
failures all over the United States
during the third quarter of the year
have been awaited with more interest
than usual, owing to the large num-
hers who sought to avail themselves
of the national bankrupt law prior to
its expiration, September 1st. The
statistics for the quarter and for the
first nine months of the year are now
furnished by Barlow's Mercantile
agency. The number of failures for
the third quarter of 1878 was 1858,
as compared with 1916 in the same
quarter last year. The liabilities for
the last quarter are 66,0O0,00O, as
compared with $42, 600, 900 in the
same period of 1876. For the first
nine months of 1878 the failures
number 1878, as compared with $685.
for the same period in 1877. The
liabilities for the first nine months
of 1873 are $197, 600, 900, against
Sal, 000, 900 for the nine months O.
1877. 1t is admitted that the petit
tons in bankruptcy, filed in the pc
Rod named, considerably exceed thu
figures given above, but it must b.

the applicants for relief were eithe
those whose failures had been pre-

more han a quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
