The HERALD 70 indebted 70 Mr.. GEORGE
OHoND. the Dallas manager OF L. g. Dun
& Co g Mercantile Agency, for some very
interesting statistics Of the failures occur
ring throughout the country during tho
year 1888 Tho total number Of failures In
the southern states amount TO Si4; midd
states, 2, 1876, eastern states, l,l07; Teslern
states, . 98l; Pacific states and territories,
0l6. Thenumbsr OF failures in Texas are
800, the amount OF Liabilities amounting to
S3.057 $50 The failures in Louisiana are
III in number hut the liabilities in that
state are $685. .G7s or $Z77 in sxces, OF
our state. In New York city alone the
number OF failures are 5a5 and the LA
bilities are SOS .2l0. 2D, with Boston follow
ing with liabilities amounting TO $50 ,9os,-
s5s, and Chicago close TO Boston with $751;
So3, 30, while 81. Louis shows only 81
252, 262.
In the annual circular Of the failures Of
1883 Texas makes good showing, the
amount OF liabilities not amounting in he
whole state TO hardly one.ninth.. sof the
amount in New York city alone and less
than ono.seventh of the losses in Chicago.
The failures whioh have occurred In IL
United States during the year 1888 number
9,ls4. The failures in 1882 were In number
6,73s. so that last year an increase is shown
Of 2, LAG, or equal to 30 per cent AS COM
pared with 1850, IN which year the failures
were only 1875, the increase in 1888 10
0,l8 shows difference of over 100
per cent. As In 1880 the failures
reached the lowest point, so in 1873 they
reached the highest, the number attaining
l0,47S. The liabilities of the past year
amount to l73 millions, as against 10l mill
ion, IN 1892 showing that the increase in
failures has been greater in number than in
the amount OF indebtedness. Compared
with 1880 when the liabilities were only 6j
millions this shows a very great advance.
But they are far less than in 1878, when tho
indebtedness Of the 10000 parties falling

The percentage Of the failures in the dill.

as follows: In the eastern states, In every |
7G in the middle states, in every 1913; In
the southern states, in every 70; in the
western states, / in every 100. From this g. |
will be seen that the prosperity and progress
OF the south IL on firm basis, making
better showing than any other section of
the country. This Is certainly very graii-
flying, and If at tho end Of 1884 we can pre-

The Democratic State Convention.

We publish elsewhere the proceedings of
the Democratic State Convention held in
Richmond last Wednesday. 1t was an able
and patriotic body, and, as the Lynchburg
Vwginian says was, in every sense, a rep
resentative body; and thus presented a
striking contrast to the Convention held
there few weeks before, that received
orders from room in the Wing Building,
where the Boss had taken up his quarters
for the express purpose of running" the
so-called Convention. Fresh from the peo-
pie, from whom they received their COM
missions, and under whose authority they
were acting, the members came together
with no cut and dried resolutions, and had
no programme of action prepared for them
by single man. Itwas an able and pa
triotic body, that met to deliberate; and
not to ratify the edicts of Boss. 1t did
it's work-did it well, and adjourned, to
submit what was done to the sovereign ar
bitrament of the people from whom its
powers were derived. Refusing to instruct
5he delegates of the people to the nomina-
ing Convention, but leaving them to act
Is may seem best for the party and the
country when the EFFICIENCY arrives, it thus
strongly emphasized the difference between
party of the people, and the party domi-
rated by, and controlled in the interest of
ne man.

DEATH OF CHARLES OCoNOR.-Charles
O'Conor, of New York, died at Nantucket,
Mass, on last Tuesday morning. His
death had for few days been momentarily
expected. He occupied distinguished po-
sition among the great lawyers this country
has produced. His prominence was in
creased by the success with which, i'll con-
junction with Mr.. Tiiden, prosecuted the
ring cases against the municipal officers of
New York in 1878, breaking up the Tweed
regime and accomplishing a peaceful revo-
luton in the government of that CITY,
Born in New York in 1904, soon after the
arrival Of his parents from Ireland, he OBJ
tanned the clements of classical education,
and taking up the study of law, was in 1924
admitted to the bar. He was EN- ployed in
the Forrest divorce case, the Lennon
slave case, and other important cases, some
of which involved large amounts. A zeal
Gus Democrat, he has been frequently
urged to accept nominations to the highest
offices, but has always refused. AS long
as December, 1875, Mr.. O'Conor's life was
despaired Of but his wonderful constitution
and great power of will enabled him to sur
vive what for while was thought to be a
fatal attack. For several years past he
lived in retirement at Nantucket, Mass.

CUISINES MEN, FOR ARTHuR.-The
Philadelphia Press calls attention to the
fact that among the signers of the 'busi
ness men's' call for meeting to declare
for the reelection of President Arthur the
following names appear: Geo. I. Seney,
president of the Metropolitan National
Bank, which closed its doors last Wednes-
day; George McGourkey, president of
the same institution; D. B. Hatch, of the
firm of Hatch & Foote, brokers, who went
to the wall early in the fight, and Joseph
c. Williams & Co., who failed early in the
day, and helped to lead the stampede which
followed. Abiding to the announcement
that the meeting is to be strictly ga spon
taneous demonstration of business conf
dence in the administration, the Press
suggests that 'sin view of recent experience
there might be some. propriety in revis-
ing the list of gentlemen who are to furnish
the spontaneity."
