NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

,Lohn G.. Whittier, the venerable poet OF
freedom, in a recent letter said in reference
to the emancipated race. "They are not yet
in the full enjoyment of their civil rights IN
many sections, and they need still the care
and labor Of love which should be our bless
ing to give. The time has not yet come
when it is safe to place our government III
the hands of those who have persistently
denied them the rights and privileges OF
citizenship" That is quite true. The ke'
publican party may NOT be able to secure for
the colored race full justice anywhere, but
if the Democratic party were in power what
sympathy, or encouragement, or help could
they expect ? What outrage and wrong
would not be perpetraied upon them at the
South? To what extent would not their eX-
ercse of the elective franchise be suppressed
or perverted Furthermore Demo-
cratic victory would mean the loss
of all that has been so painfully
and toilfully gained il the way OF
civil service reform. 1t would make no
difference who the Democratic candidate
would b.. lie must hc more than human,
to successfully resist the pressure that would
be brought against him. The sentiment
which defeated Senator Pendlcton for
reelection because he was author and
advocate of measure for The re-
form of the civil service is the
dominant sentiment of the pirty,
and it would certainly prevail. The
President would be as powcrlcss
against it as was Mrs. Darlington with her
broom against the Atlantic ocean. And
with the abrogaion OF the civil service rules
would come clean sweep of all the public
offices, to the ncaculable detriment of the
public service aud to The corruption Of the
public morals consequent upon 50 shameless
division of the ''spo,ls.'
And Democratic rule, with all its
attendant evils. Will not if that
party is successful next November,
be mere four.ycqrs' experiment on
the part Of the coun'ry-thoush four years
would be far too long. A Democratic vic
tory mex November means Democratic RUE
in the Nation for not less than twenty years
and probably for Il ncraton. Win the
Government in their control and with The
time serves aud the whole vcnal clement OF
the country added to their ranks it stands tC
reason that they would erpeiuatc their Lease
of power. A vote for the Democratic tickc
next fall, then, means not merely vote FOL
M Cleveland or Mr.. Bayard for four years
IN the White House, but "A vote to install il
power for score Of years the dangerous
clements which constitutes the substance O.
the Democratic party.
To those who are not wavcring in ;heil
allegiance to the Republican party no sucl
arguments are needed. To those who hest
tate, we say better four years of Mr. Blair'
than twenty years of the Democracy.

Only NO ballots were required IN eithcr
of the last two Democratic National c1nvcn-
tons. In 1876 Tildcn received Oh the first
ballot All votes, the remainder of the 13S
votes dividing between Hendricks, Hancock,
William Allen, Blyard aud Joel Parker on
the second ballot Tilden received within 20
votes of the necessary two-thirds, and before
the result was announced changes began
which ended in giving him j3) and the nom
nation. In 1880 Hancock led on the first
ballot, but he had only III votes, eight
others dividing the other thrce-quutcrs OF
the convention, ranging down from Bayard'S
153l to Scymour's s. The second ballot,
which was not taken till the following day,
gave Hancock 3l0, or .1i3 short of two
thirds, but before the result was announced
changes were made which ended 10 giving
him 1Oj votes, or nearly the whole convcn
tiOn.

TIE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The failures ia the United States for the
first half Of 1884, are 500 in number, an in
crease of 873 failures, as compared with the
first six months Cf 1888 or about IS per
cent. The liabilities, however, for the first
half of 1884 show an enormous Increase,
amounting to 1924 900 900, as compared
with $780, ,OO0 in the same period in
1888, or nearly double. The enormous
growth in the liabilities is, however, direct
" traceable to the recent panic, which has
mainly centered in New York city, in which
locality the liabilities Of the last quarter
comprise more than Onc-half Of those noted
in the entire United States, in that period.
A comparison of the failures OF the six
months ia numerous States, Indicates, in
some cases, only slight increase in failures
and liabilities, showing that the disasters IT
the last six months, great AS they have been,
have not been nearly 50 universal as has
generally been supposed. Thus, deductne
