SINCE 1881 the first quarter of each
year has shown an increase in business
failures in the United States. For the
first three months of the aforemention-
ed year the failures did not reach two
thousand. In 1882 they numbered p
lag; in 1888, 3,lS9 and Bradstreet's re-
ports $500 for the quarter ended March
81, 1884. Among the failures of the
present year fifteen are reported as
having liabilities in excess of a quarter
of a million dollars. The aggregate
liabilities of these amount to 1914, 1863,
and the assets to S3,7O3,6 ,666, or about IS
per cent. of the liabilities. And this
state of affairs is what our Republican
friends call prosperity. The g. o. p.
must certainly go.

THE oldest public building in the
United States has been sold at auction.
1t has for over century been known
as the Senate House of TIT, and is loca-
ted on Clinton Avenue, Kingston, New
York. 1t was built by Colonel VESSEL
Ten Broeck, in 1876, and is of the queer
old fashioned style of architecture of
those primitive days of American his
tory. The front portion is of stone, and
is two feet in thickness; the rear is of
bricks imported from Holland, In
those days, and, indeed, fora hundred
years afterwards, it was cheaper to i'm
port bricks than to manufacture them.
1t is, even to the oaken beams, in per-
feet state of presentation. 1t was in
this building that the State Senate sat
in 1777, during the adoption Of the first
Constitution.

THE old Seneca County advertiser
last week entered upon its And volume,
Just ten years our senior, and at that
time Hon. L. A. Brunner assumed a
partnership in the paper, and intends
to give it his attention, we are told,
which means that the advertiser will
be kept up to its old standard as one of
the best papers published in the State.
By the way, we have warm feeling
for the Advertiser, for in that Office, un-
der the proprietorship of the Hon. w.
w. Armstrong, we learned how to stick
type, wash rollers, and in fact learned
every branch of the business. 1t is our
alma Mater.

THE Chicago Herald gives brief les
son in natural history: 1.-THE Mug
wump' is a New England product. 1t
is little man in big place, who has
not been found out. 1t is also big
man-in his mind--in little place,
who labors under the impression that
the place is big one, and that he feels
it. A man may be a mugwump be-
cause his father was, or by marrying q
mugwumpess. They are said to feed
upon political pap and office pickings."
1t is possible that the term may be
adopted, like the word "dude," as ex-
pressive of an idea that can not in pure
English be conveyed with word.

THE Steubenville Gazette says: The
amendment to the Scott Law providing
for the repeal of the "McConnelsville
ordinance" provision, and making the
collection semi-annual instead of annual
has been passed. This is all that has
been done to the Scott Law. The
change in the time of payment will
make the tax come lighter on the saloon
keepers, while the local option feature
of the law was a fraud and snare to
catch senseless temperance people, and
its repeal only removes a lot of trash
from the law. The taxpayers of the
State can be congratulated on the result

In view of the fact of SO many defal-
cations of cashiers and treasurers, the
st Louis Dispatch suggests that women
be employed in such trusts. They
neither gamble in stocks, smoke or
drink whiskey. The young men
should note this suggestion. There are
thousands of intelligent women fully
competent for this class of work in

The fish laws have been amended so
that fishing will only be allowed with
hook and line from March 20 to April
20, in any body of water, except in the
Mercer and Licking reservoirs, or lakes.
--Findlay Jefersonidn.
If any such law as the above has been
adopted, the members of the Legisla-
ture who voted for it ought either to be-
tarred and feathered or tapped for the
simples. Fishing with a hook and line
seldom commences before the 10th OF
April, and continues good until about
the first of June. But Democrats are
liable to do any rascally thing.-'Mgnal.
Ifsuch a law has been passed, it is in
deed foolish one, and something un-
heard of before in the civilized world.
But if such law has been enacted, we'll
bet our old hat it was done by Republic
can votes, and that it isl law which
will never be enforced.

TILDEN favors the nomination of
Hon. Henry b. Payne for President for
three reasons: "First, Mr.. Payne has
invariably been right on every one of
the questions that have divided public
sentiment during the past thirty years.
Secondly, his nomination will not
frighten the business element of the
country into anotheroutpouring of cash
to aid the Republicans. Lastly he has
the ability to conduct the canvass, the
wealth necessary to its legitimate ex-
penses, and the vigor to undertake re-
form after the election. These three
things are hard to find combined in
one man."
