THE BUSINESS DISASTERS on 1885.
r. g. Dun u Co.'S mercantile agency ropor
that the total number of business failures in
the United states during 1885 was 1867, with
liabilities of little more than one hundred
twonty.ionr million of dollars, as compared
with lO,gGS failures In 1881, with liabilities of
two hundred and twonty.six million. While
the failures for 1855 are only per cent less I'm
number than In 1881, the liabilities have de.
creased nearly 30 per cent The number Of
traders reported In business in 1885 was 9l9,99l.
OF these one in every Sc failed. In 1873, with
$4,000 traders, one in 81 came to grief The
average amount of liabilities of each failure In
1885 was Sll G7s, against sO,632 in 1881, and
22,3G0 in 1878 IL Is seen from these figures that,
while business casualties have decreased but
slightly in number, they arc far less significant
In amount and Importance.

THE DISTRICT FAIR.

Next week the District Fair will
be held at st. Cloud, and lit is very
desirable that western Stearns be
fully represented. The managers
have shown unusual enterprise and
liberality in arranging a programme
of interest through the week. The
exhibitions in the several depart.
ments will be attractive, and it will
we'll repay any ono to visit the
grounds. The Farmers Institute
advertised TO continue throughout
the fair we'll prove a most interest
ing and valuable feature. These in
stitutes should command the atten-
ton Of every farmer who has any
ambition to improve his methods
and thereby make agriculture more
profitable and pleasant. "1
The District fair appeals to local
pride, and that should assure a large
attendance. This section Of the
state is unrivaled in advantages for
successful farming, and by. compar-
ing products and methods greater
excellence will be attained. As an
investment, the money spent in at
tending the fair will prove profitable
beyond possibility of expression,
while the pleasure to be derived will
fully compensate one. Let us then
determine to spend at least one day
at S.. Cloud during the coming week,
and as much more as circumstances
viii permit.

The terrible accident which result
ed in the death of Miss Ella Allen,
an account of which will be found
elsewhere is not without its lessons.
The railroad company is censured,
and very justly, for the reckless
speed maintained at crossings, and
on bridges. A team or an animal on
the crossing might have wreck ed the
train, with results fearful to con.
template. On the other hand it fur
nishes warning to persons to avoid
the railroad track as a highway.
There is statute against walking or
being upon any railroad track in the
state, and it is very evident to any
one that the practice of walking up
on them is highly perilous. Let this
a ccident serve as warning.

For state senator on the demo-
cratic ticket Henry Keller is an as,
pirant, and the ambition on his part
is perfectly laudable one. No
higher honor can be conferred upon
any Man by his constituents than to
make him a direct representative in
legislative halls either of the state or
nation. Mr.. Keller Is a democrat,
and with his politics the HERALD
has no sympathy, and will support
for the position the nominee of the
Republican party, and do its utmost
to secure his election, and Mr.. Kel-
lsr's candidacy would not even have
been mentioned but for tho out.
rageous misrepresentation to which
he has been subjected. Unworthy
and unmerited attacks have been
made upon him. and while it is
true that they have Injured to his
benefit by raising up friends for him,
yet it is only justice to an enterpris.
ing citizen to put him right on the
reco I'd. ".- .t",
1t is recognized fact that Stearns
county has never had a more en-
thusiastic advocate than Henry Kel.
Ter. He is widely known, and his
influence both at home and abroad
has always been felt for the advan.
tage of his own town and county.
He has used his capita as freely as
his ntterance in building up the
community in which he lives. He
is broad-gauge,e nterprising and &C
tive man of business, successful and
reliable. He. has shown his faith
In tie people and the country by
engaging in extensive business en-
terprises here, and it is quite natur-
al that he seeks the honor, of repre-
senting the district for which he has
done so much. In point of ability
he is not deficient, nor will he suffer
in comparison with other aspirants.
His integrity is unquestiened, and
his party will certainly make no
mistake in confering upon him the
honor of nomination. -"

A meeting Of the dire ctors of the

resignation of S. NJ. Bruce as presi-
dent and G. NJ. Sprague as secretary
and treasurer were received and ac-
copied. They also resigned as d.
rectors of the company both having
sold their stock in the company.
Win. Reylick was elected secretary

coed Mr.. Sprague. The directors
took occasion to visit the factory
and look over ME works, and ex-
pressed themselves fully satisfied.
An amendment to the bylaws was

MR.. GILMAN's CANDIDACY.

The candidacy of Hon. Charles A.
Gilman is meeting with favor
throughout the state, notwlthstand-
Ing the unfair means employed
by the political managers of Ramsey
to deprive him of any representa-
tion on the delegation from that
county. The snap conventio on
which gave Mr.. McGill the twenty.
one votes from Ramsey will prove a
boomerang for that candidate. The!
moral influence of the undivided
support of that delegation will
prove demoralizing to his cause, on
account the palpable injustice of the
methods resorted to forsecuring it.
County conventions will Iebuke this
system of tricksry by naming dele
cations pledged to oppose its insti-
gators. The twenty-one votes so Sc,
cured there will ALLEVIATE twice that
number elsewhere 40 Mr.. Gilman
may contemplate with complacency
the Ramsey County unfairness, for
he, not McGill, will be the gamer.
II now remains for Hennepin to as.
sure Mr.. Gilman's nominate n by a
repetition of the program. Those
who were led to believe that Mr..
Gilman's strength was concentrated
in the Fifth congressional district
have a startling surprise in store for
them. From one end of the state to
the other he has friends who will
strain every nerve in his behalf.
His ability and fitness for the po-
sition are recognized by all who
know him, and they desire some.
thing more than respectable msdicc.
rity at the head of the executive
branch Of the state governme emit
Skilled in state craft,he will bring to

knowledge of the requirements

cations of the other leading candi.
dates. They are neither scoundrels mol
idiots but honorable and intelligent
men, good citizens and are engaged
in exercising a laudable but hope
less ambition. TO say that they are
inferior to Mr.. Gilman in all the re
quirements which constitute a de-
sirable governor of this great state
is not reflection upon either theil
integrity or their ability. But sucf
is the case. Mr.. Gilman is peculi
arly fitted for the Office to which III
aspires, and his success will be fol
best interest of the state.
