WORSE FOR PIERCE.

It is said that at the beginning OF
the year the Rev. G. NJ. Pierce made
statement to one Of the CONNER
cial agencies to the effect that his
assets and liabilities were substan
TALLY as follows, in round figures
assets, $4,000; liabilities, bank
loans, $4,000; private loans, $1,000;
merchandise bills, S3,0O0-total,
$4,000. Mr.. Pierce would dislike to
have anybody doubt his word in a
matter of this kind. It is not con-
sistent with his profession to make
false statements or deceive. Now.
Il his showing were correct in Janu-
airy, he has been having high old
time financially since then. His
liabilities now are seen TO be some
where in the neighborhood Of
$4,000, an increase of about $1,000
in the nine months, or at the rate of
$500 per month. His stock has
been reduced one-half, to $1,000,
which amount should be added to
his other losses, making his average
loss about $500 per month, in
business that could not have
amounted, all told, to more than
$4,000 per month. The show
ing is exceedingly bad fer
the reverend gentleman, placing
him in an uglier posi-
ton than ever. What his unfortun>
ate creditors would like 10 learn is,
not how to recover their money,
for that they do not look Or hope
for. but what Mr.. Pierce did with
the money. It has been disposed Of
In some manner-been gottea out
of sight, and widows, orphans and
Others would like to know the holes
into which it has been sunk. It
seems impossible that a person of
economical habits, engaged in
fairly prosperous business, in which
the legitimate expenses are light
and the profits large, could honestly
sink $500 month, when that sum
would have entirely restocked his
store and paid all the expenses every
four weeks. The more this matter
is looked into the blacker it gets for
Mr.. Pierce. who has certainly
proven that ne is not much of an
ornament to his profession.

NOT GROWING GROUND.

The Republican organs continue
to congratulate themselves over the
result of last weeks election in
Pennsylvania, just as if some great
victory had been won. There
wasn't one intelligent Democrat
which is equivalent to saying there
was no member of that party-in
the land who thought the Demo
Gratis would carry the Keystone
State in 1889, Or who expects they
will carry it in 1884. For quarter
of century Pennsylvania has been
Republican, and it is likely to con-
tinue under that political organiza-
ton for some time yet. In 1882
there were two Republican tickets
in the field, and Pattison, Demo
cratic nominee for Governor, slipped
in between the two. A light vote
was po,led and Pattison lacked
3,541 votes Of having as many
as the combined opposition.
It was not a Democratic triumph
but Republica Ell. In 1880
an enormous vote was polled, and
Garfield had a majority Of 1926
over Hancock. This year, on a
very full vote, the Democrats have
cut down that majority to less than
1900, hence if there is anything
over which to crow, the Democrats
have it. In contest between par
ties, Pennsylvania is not debatable
ground, belonging to the Republi-
cans without question or dispute.
Only when the Democrats are
united and the Republicans divided
do the former hope for anything in
the Quaker commonwealth.

NOT GENERAL.

Several of the newspapers are
speaking of Sheridan as having sue
ceeded to the rank of general. This
is not correct. The rank of general
goes out with the retirement of
Sherman. Sheridan is simply what
he has been for some time, lieuten-
ant-general, though he has come
into the command of the American
army. He has all the power and
authority possessed by Sherman,
and enjoys the highest rank in the
array. there being no general, or will
be none when Sherman receives his
discharge and is placed on the re-
tired list. The rank of general was
created for Grant, and was after
words conferred upon sherman,
both OF whom won in the field the
right to wear it. Sheridan is no less
worthy than they. AS a military
leader he stands with them, being
behind in neither military science
nor bravery. Grant has said of him
that he is zone of the very ablest
living generals" It would be a
pretty and appropriate act for Con-
gress to revive the rank of general
and confer it upon Sheridan, who
fought by their side, and was hero
in the same war that made Grant
and Sherman generals. He has sue,
ceeded them in regular order in the
command Of the army, and should
be allowed to wear the special rank
that was created for the sole purpose
of honoring the heroic leaders.
After Sheridan's death or retire.
ment the rank might with consist
ency be permitted to lapse until
another war developed military
genius, and enabled soldiers to dis
tinguish themselves in such a man
ner as to deserve the high honor,
more than the extra power, that the
rank of general was intended to
confer.

PREPARING FOR THE STORM

A very shrewd business man who
was about to place an order in Chi
cago for S12 900 worth of merchants
disc, chiefly staples, for a country
supply store, has concluded to wait
few weeks. He has observed that
city merchants are loading Them
selves down with stocks, taking
advantage of the cut rate
in freight to pile up car load after
car load of goods, and understand
ing very well the capacity and capa-
bility Of the community to con-
sumo, very wisely concludes that
before the winter is half over this
will be cheaper market in which
to purchase than Chicago. He
says that it is impossible that
half these goods can be disposed
Of within Unable period, unless
the population should double during
the next three months, Of which
there is not the slightest prospect
or promise. The result will be, the
sacrificing of merchandise to
avoid bankruptcy; and even
then he expects many who
are overstocklng themselves will
be unable to pull through
the dull season safely. We believe
the gentleman's course of reasoning
to be correct, and that before the
winter has gone many merchants
and traders will have occasion to
regret their haste in making such
unusually large purchases. To our
certain knowledge some merchants
are paying high rates of
interest on money with which
to meet freight bills, and unless
they are fortunate enough to make
quick sales, the interest charge will
soon amount to the difference be-
tween the present and the former
freight rates. Salt Lake merchants
are proverbially cautious. They
have the name in the eastern mar
kets of being the most careful buy
ers in the country, their purchases
being very closely gagged 10 the
ordinary requirements of Their
trade. In this way thay have bsil'

up and ~ aintained good commercial
standing. Business failures are
rare occurrences here, It is there
fore matter for apprehension and
regret that some of our dealers have
suddenly lost their heads through a
freight cut, and are recklessly plac-
ing their credit and prospects in
jeopardy.

More Frnuds on Pensioners.

Junius B. and Charles Kaufman, father and
son, of Lancaster Pa were arrested on the
9th ult., on the charge Of post-datiBg of youch-
ers. 1t is also charged that the accused have
for years held certificates of pensioners, upon
which it is presumed they advanced money for
a consideration. The prisoners were arraigned
before United States Commissioner Edmunds,
entering bail in the sum of $500 each for
trial.
Another pension fraud also came to light
recently, in the arrest of Captain Jacob Keifer,
of Philadelphia, Pa charged with forging the
name of Philip Streble TO an application for
pension in behalf of David Rentschler men,
Der Of company d, Twenty seventh Pennsyl-
vania volunteers, who was injured at the battle
of Cross Keys. The accused was held in $500
bail, by Commissioner Edmunds, to appear the
next day, failing TO do which the money was
declared forfeited, and warrant issued for his
re-arrest.
Sill another fraud has been unearthed in
the person of jeremiah Bellies, who was arrested
at Waynesboro', Pa, on the 26th ult., and placed
in the Franklin county jail. charged with
swindling widows and orphans of soldiers. lie
promised to secure their pensions for them
sooner than by having them pass through the
