Tho financial outlook is not altocetl

The financial outlook is not altogeth.
er encouraging. Failures in different
parts Of the country are continually
reported. The most notable of recent
failures is that of the Marine National
Bank of New York, consequent upon
the speculation of Grant, Ward & Co.,
prominently identified with the bank.
Such failures involve other failures
and embarrassments in their train of
results; and SD we find in few days
following, a suspension of the North.
western Car and Manufacturing Com.
pany, at Saltwater, MIMI, which is
claimed to be directly owing to the
failure of the Marine bank. All such
failures have tendency to disturb
commercial relations and interrupt the
course of trade. Nor is there likely
to be any permanent improvement in
the condition of trade until after the
presidential election. And just here,
we think Is an argument In favor of
extending the presidential term to
seven or eight years. There is always
more or less feeling of uncertainty
just prior to presidential election as
to its probable effect upon the finan-
cial condition of the country; and
when this event is preceded by a sch.
son of financial depression the results
cannot be otherwise than serious. We
may be encouraged with the thought,
however, that there seems to be no
danger of panic, and that as soon as
the presidential election is over, gen.
eral feeling Of security will revive and
trade will resume its unimpeded chan.
nels.

The Hand Grenade Fire Extinguisler
was again exhibited before large num-
Der of business men and others, on the
vacant lot back of Security bank. Ahuge
bonfire, covering 225 square feet of sur
face, was constructed of piano. organ and
dry goods boxes. kindling and shavings,
all thoroughly saturated with two gal
Ions of kerosene oil. Many predicted,
that the wind blowing as it was, when
fired, it could not be extinguished by the
grenade. But ween Mr.. Butz, of Butz Il
Mendenl.all, the general agents for the
grenade, broke a couple Of the grenades
by striking them together as near as the
heat would permit, huge sheet of flames
towering some twenty-five or thirty feet
fell in an instant, anu before another
could be broken the fire WINS completely
and effectually extinguished. For the ben
fit of those too late to sec it done, MIR.
Butz re-kindled the fire bv feeding the
fame by oil till the whole was again en-
veloped and the fire under full Roadway,
when two or three grenales again did the
work in sucl, neat, quick and decisive
manner as to astonish all, and loud were
the ordinations of praise for..the hand
grenades. Mr.. Butt has just returned
from an extended trip in Iowa where
large sales were made while establishing
agencies. The following is letter re-
ceived from the Chicago house.
