No Boom Yet.

The republican party Is continually prom
ising to do great Things for the country, but
in almost every instance it fails to fulfill its
promise 1t is given 10 too much Boosting,
but generally It's vaingorlous assertions
won't bear investigation. Last fall its
stump speakers said that big boom in bust
ness would follow if Gen. Harrison were
elected president; that an era of prosperity,
such as had rarely been experie iced, would
dawn upon the country. The continuation
Of the high tariff system was to be the main
factor OF tn boom.
Gen. Harrison was elected, but the prom
ised boom has thus far failed to materialize.
A comparative statement of business fail
ures in the country for the first six months
of 1888 and of 1889, furnished by Brad
streets mercantile agency, shows that here
were more failures from January to july.
1889, than for the corresponding months Of
1883. For tho first six months of 1888,
there were ), 254 failures for the same time
in 1889, there were 5,9lS-an increase of
664. Tue figures for some of the states
which ara reliably republican possess a
peculiar interest. For instance, in PennsyI-
vanla there were 656 failures, with habili-
ties amounting to 81, 4S0, 255 for the first six
months of 1889. and for corresponding
period of the preceding year the number Of
failures was 5S5, and the liabilities were
S5,447, 939. In Massachusetts the figures
are as follows: 1889, 564 failures. with liza
bllties amounting to S17,675, 1872; 1888, 594
failures with liabilities amounting to
$3,976, 464.. In Maine the failu es for the
first SIX months of 1889 numbered III, and
the liabilities amounted TO St51 $40, and for
the first six months of 1889 the failures
numbered %, and tho liabilities amounted
to 1885, $50.
During Mr.. Cleveland's administration
there was a high degree of confidence in
business circles, and the country was in
very prosperous condition. Il is evident
tat President Harrison's administration
will not be conducted on as sound bust ness
principles as M. Clevelands was. and it
seems that the effects of the change from
business standpoint were bad, and that they
are already being felt

Big Suits Agsinst Cities.


Instances in which parties have euterel
suit against cites for large sums, repre-
senting the estimate value Of parts # those
cities, are qIite nlmsro4s. Tae ptrties be-
leve, or pretend to believe that theY were
defrauded If nsideraJle parts Of the city
sites, but such suits arc very rarely decided
IN their favor. Generally they are dro7psi
before a decision has been reach q. A year
or two aZJ a Eelt.eIan start u out 10 OBJ
tain a fortune in such a suit against
Philadelphia, but he concluded prob by
that be hadn't good c,se. for nothing
has since been heard Of him OF mis- suit Sew
eral cases Of TIE Kind have been entered
against New York, only TO be dropped af er
oct while, and the other day it was an
nOunced tina, q New York man mad begun
suit against san Franci CO for a very large
sum, tie case b3ing based upon his claim to
part Of that city. Mrs Nyra Clark
Gaines spent a good many vars of her life
in pushi & her suit against New Orlea IS,
and while she did no; i've to see the end Of
1t, Ter heirs succeeded in obtaining iudg-
meut for q considerable sun.
One Of the cases OF tlis kind thus far
succt ssfui is that OF . wealthy New Y Drser,
Frederick c. Prentice, against the city of
Duluth, MINI. 1t was decilei the other
day in Mr. Prentcs'5 favor About half
century ag, MIR Prentice purchased from
Benjamin Armstrong q part of what
l. now the site of Duluth, but Mr.. Arm
strong 3fterTard illegally disposed of it to
some OIe else. As the land was not very
valuable at that time, Mr.. Prentice paid
but little attention TO the second sale, and
it was only after Duluth had become
prosperous city that he brought suit The
case remained in court number o. years,
aud if the decision should stand, Mr.. Prem
tice will be wealtnier BY about 10000, 00O
Sometimes the reports Of such decisions
are incorrect, but several of the New York
newspapers say tn t t ere is nothing of t 10
western fairy story abous this 0 lie. They
h vel terviewed Mr.. Prentices man of
business in that city, and while he would
aot talk freely. he said rough to convince
the repOr ers that the suit had really beeu
decided in Mr. Preusce's favor.

From the shay pavilion overlooking Berke-

Many OF the boats all but went over. and the
three wise men were co h1ently expecting to
see some one take ducking when a party of
five came down upon the ghlrf.
Three ladies and one gentleman had been
helped into their places. and the last of the
party was just about to get aboard when one of
t4e three interested spectators said: Just

The boat was showed of and the dude referred

The Governor Was in Earnest.

/ Some Of Q no thern newspapers have
been sneering at Gov. Lowry, Of Missis-
! sippi because he failed o prevent the Sulii-
van-hiiraiu fight in that state Not fe =
/ Of them went so far as to insinuate that he
was not sincere, and that be was in SYM
pathv with the fighters. 1t was like a
/ Mississippi governor said a republican
| newspa er Of Chicago, so thunder in the
index and 80 no further; TO promise much
and do little
The Mississippi governor, however, was
in earnest, and meant all he said II bis
orders had been obeyed there would have
been no fight in Mis-, 5sippi. His p ans
were well laid, but his subordinates failei
to do their duty. His failure TO prevent the
law Of his state from being violated, there
fore, was not due to any lukewarmness or
laches on his part.
Sullivan and his chief hacker were ar
rested on his order at Nashville yesterday.
What better proof is needed than his, that
be was not merely dulging in alittle blus-
ter when he declared that if be could pre-
vent it the fight should not take place on
Mississippi soil!
He may not be able to get Sullivan back
into Mississippi, bu. If be does he will make
II exceedingly uncomfortable for the cham
pion. The law against prize Fl ,hti in
that state IS pretty severe. Il was ena ted
IN March, 1882, and provides that the pm
clpals in fight shall be punished by i'm
prlsonmentia the pc itentiary for not less
than one nor more than three years.
Tbs energetic course which Gov. Lowry
is rursuing will doubtless cause those of the
northern newspapers which have been say
ing that there is little if any public senti-
ment IN the south against prize fighting, to
express different opinion if they desire TO
be just ard fair. The fact is, as the MORN
ING News has pointed out, there is just as
strong public sentiment IN the south as in
the north against prize fighting The Phila-
delphia Times, in an article on this subj .ct
IN its Wednesdays issue, came very near
the truth. 1t says: ut is easy for north
ern journals 10 criticise the south because
the great battle of the prize ring brutes was
fought on southern soil but when it is re-
membe. ed that the contract was publicly
signed in a northern state for this
battle; that tho stakes we're openly
deposited In a northern state; that one
Of the pugilis S was trained in New York
without any attempt at concealmenU; that
the other was trained in like ma ner in
Ida yland; that the purp Sc of the contract,
the stakes and the training were avowed as
the preliminaries to a priz9 fight that is
forbidden in every S ate and territory of
the I'm on, and that every hing relating to
the brutal violation OF every law, bat the
fight itself, was done in the north, we sub
nit that it Ill becomes the no tn to look
upon the south, and hypocritically give
hanks that it is not as the south in this blot
upon our civiiiza ion"
