JUDGE GRESHAM AND THE LOTTERIES.
The United States Government will no longer
be n partner Of the Louisiana Lottery Com
pany. This is the meaning of Postmaster-Gen-
eral Greshams decision, which cannot be too
highly commended A single lottery company
has been permitted for years to use the mails,
while all other companies were excluded, and
the sole basis OF this strange monopoly has
been the claim that this company was char
tered by State, and Therefore could not be
considered as fraudulent lottery COM
pany. The statutes governing registered let
tiers and money orders declare that they shall
not be delivered or paid to fraudulent lot
terry companies. The State-chartered Gem
pany, holding that il cannot be considered
fraudulent, claims as the converse OF this law
that it has the right to use the mails.
The undisturbcd exercise of that right was
maintained for several years in curious way.
Postmaster General Key forbade the issue OF
mail to thus company. His order was approved
by the District courts, but he agreed TO suspend
il until the United States Supreme Court should
decide upon the controversy. Then the com
pany, through an understanding with the
Solicitor General, withdrew the appeal. The
case has no YER been decided, and the Suspended
order has never been revived until now. 1t
would certainly seem that some influence.
favorable to the Louisiana Company, had been
at " ork underneath the surface in the Wash
ington Departments.
Now the law distinctly declares that Sno
letter or circular concerning lotteries. so-called
gift concerts or other similar enterprises offer
ing prizes, shall be carried IN the mail" No
State charter can give tho right to break the
laws of the United States.

Failures AND WHAT THEY MEAN.

FdlLCHED, AND UBAl InE1 MEAN.
Some interesting facts appear in The report OF
failures for the first half of 1888 by the
Mercantile Agency. AT first glance, the report
appears decidedly unfayorab The number
Of failures for the half year Is 4.637, against
1887 last year, and 2,S62 In 1881. The
amount of liabilities for The half year is &c.,
1873, 1884, against $50, 5SO,92O 10 1882 and
S4O,S77, $50 in 1881. The Increase seems large
and the losses seem heavy. But there are some
circumstances to be considered. In the first
place the business of the agency has extended
to Idaho, Montana, New Mexico Utah and
Wyoming, whence no reports of failures were
received during the first half of ast year,
while 55 failures, with liabilities Of $394,O0O,
are reported this year. The enormous increase
in the population and the number of traders In
these regions would of Itself account for some
increase In the number of failures, and this ia
true not only IN the Territories but in the States
that are now rapidly filing with population,
towns and railroad stations. An increase of
81 failures in Texas, for instance, must
be small in comparison with the increase in
the number of traders in that vast State.
A very large proportion OF tho increase in
number of failures is in few States. There is
an increase of 100 in Illinois, of which 50 are
in Chicago; of 1872 in OH o. of which IL are
in Cincinnati; and of 1872 in Iowa--so that
almost half OF the increase comes from three
States. To some extent il is evident we are
merely clearing away wrecks caused by the
disasters OF 1881, when the crop in those States
was especially unsatisfactory. To some extent,
too, the increase is due to the bad Goa dition Of
the iron business, and an increase OF go in the
number of failures in Pennsylvania, and of Sc
in Michigan, is in part due to the Same cause.
But large number of failures has bsen due to
the reckless speculations OF the past six months
in products, and particularly in grain and pro-
visions. OF this We find abundant evidence
when We look at the return Of liabilities. Here
the increase In the whole country is less than
$16,000,000. But the increase in Chicago
alone is S6, 600, 200 in New-York $5,800,000;
in Ohio outside of Cincinnati, So 200, 900 ; and
in Pennsylvania, on side of Philadelphia,
So, 800,000-in two cities aud two States
$18,200,00o Taking all the rest of tho
country together. the liabilities of firms failing
were much smaller than In 1882, though tho
number Of failures was larger. In Chicago
and Kew-york the grain and provision deal
came to grief, involving In disaster many small

firms located elsewhere. In Chicago, Cleve-
land and Pittsburg, moreover, the heavy ircn
failures occurred, and these also dragged down
not few dependent individuals and firms else
where. In short, but for reckless speculation
In grain, provisions and iron, and its conse-
quences, 1t is evident that the return would
compare very favorably with that Of the first
half of 1882.
1t Is not we'll, Of course, to underrate the evil
dence of unsoundness In business. Little harm
would be done, in fact, If misconception OF the
returns should induce somewhat greater eau
ton than may be strictly necessary. But the
fact that failures are often remedial-not 30
much evidences of unsoundness as producers OF
better health-is by many overlooked In times
like these. The collapse Of a great gambler
who has been trying to make corner In lard Is
public blessing. not only because 1t tends to
restore natural prices, but because it deters
many others from gambling. When an iron
market is overstocked and production must
stop somewhere ia order to be profitable any
where, IL ia not an unmixed disaster If the most
widely expanded or reckless concerns are
driven to the wall. When whiskey distillers
and dealers have continued for years to cram
public warehouses with superfuous whiskey, in
the hope that some political bargain or trick
may remove the tax, 1t clears the air to have
the conspiracy end in failure. And when small
traders have multiplied in any branch OF bust
ness or in many branches, far beyond the
needs of the country, 80 that reasonable profits
can no longer be secured by the most expert
enced and capable, it helps more than it hurts
to have some welded out. Failures fore
shadow general disaster only when they dis

sion of credits. In the published returns for
1883 little evidence of such unsoundness

TIE COUNTY DEMoCaAcY's HARD LUG

THE COUNTY DEMOCRACY'S HARD LUCK.
For an organization that started out with
such flourish Of trumpets and such brilliant
prospects. the County Democracy has had un-
commonly lard luck. 1t was born, as may per-
haps be remembered, of great popular upris-
ing against the methods and practices, the cor
ruption ard tyranny and the one-man rule of
Tammany Hall. Great expense attended its
ushering into the world; it was heralded by
bands of music and there were many preambles
and resolutions of the highest possible tone
over it, with outpourings of much el0quence
from many orators The drift of all the pre-
ambles. the point of all the resolutions. the
end and aim and purpose of all the abundant
oratory were that Tammany fall was corrupt,
mischevous and wicked concern, and must be
exterminatcd as q political power. Nothing
was said about the Republicans. For the
moment they were forgotten or ignored. Mr.
Edward Cooper, MI. John Develin, MI. Abram
s. Hewitt, and other eminent Democrats con-
cerned in the enterprise, were thoroughly reused
to the Importance Of crushing out forever the
political influence aud the life OF Tammany
Hall. Worse names were applied to it, and to
Mr.. John Kelly, the Boss y of it, than were
ever applied to Republicans In the hottest part
of the most exciting campaigns. The sole
reason for being of the County Democracy
was incorporating and undying hostility
to Tammsny. Its watchword was @Tammany
must be destroyedr'
There was something almcs. pathetic in the
apparent earnestness and sincerity with which
these single-mnded patriots set about the
W x they had assigned themselves of puri--
flying the Democratic party and reforming
municipal and State politics by the elimination
of this corrupt and mischievous factor. Good
citizens, whose desire for honest rule and eff
cient administration rose above party attach
ments, were encouraged by the movement and
looked on II with great hope for and confidence
in its success. IL seemed 10 be in the hands Of

nounced as the result Of second series of reports
from tho principal wheat-growing districts Of the
Union, made by Its own correspondents, that
there would be probable yield Of
400 900 600 or 400 900, 900 bushels Of wheat In
1883" This was considered by some. who were
more anxious to keep up the price of wheat than to
ascertain facts, as an over sanguine esti-
mate. Time has, however shown that
The TRDUSE's views wero thoroughly
sound. The latest review OF the yield just pub
lished by Bradstreefs estimates the product Of
winter and spring wheat this year at over
40, 600 900 bushels. Persons who had conf
dence in The TRIBUNE figures six weeks ago are
doubtless now reaping their reward.
