made against him before the county
commissioners, and published in the
last issue of the Times says that John
Martin is former peanut vender and
tin-horn gambler, which is begging the
question. Petition does not deny any
of the charges made, but to divert at
tention from himself says that if he Is
thief he is excusable, because some
one else had been stealing before he
did. He accuses E. L. Mendenhall
Of charging the county larger prices
than those agreed to, something over a
year ago. Mr.. Mendenhall will answer
for himself in another column of the
Times. Some of our friends have told
US that We should take out warrants
and have him arrested and prosecuted.
The evidence was submitted to the
board of county commissioners, and by
a majority of that board deemed con.
elusive. They are the guardians of
the county fund and are the parties
who were deceived BY Petition, and we
think should prosecute him in the name
OF the state. If I should begin the
prosecution he would raise the cry of
persecution, and say it was the old
fight between the Times and Democrat
and there was nothing in it but person.
al spite. 1 have two propositions to
make to Mr.. Petition. The first is
that if the board does not prosecute
him, and he will in his paper publicly
deny having sworn to bills against the
county, which he knew at the time
were for more than the agreed price
for the work, or if he will deny in the
same manner that he swore to a state
ment that he furnished the coroner
with linen letter heads when he knew
they were not linen, then l will agree
to have = warrant issued for him on the
charge Of perjury, and give him
chance to vinSlcate his character before
a jury Of his peers. The second pro-
position is, that if he will agree to
place in the hands of the county attor-
ney the identical book, in the same
condition, that he used before the COM
missioners and represented to them as
a genuine price-list of Geo. ". Crane,
then will agree to have him arrested
on charge of changing and using
forged price-list for the purpose of de-
ceiving the commissioners and defraud-
ing the county. These are plain prop
ositions and Mr.. Petition is at liberty
to accept one or both. of them. Mr..
Petition has been in the newspaper
business from five to eight years and
has presumably used and been familiar
with Games price list, and we think it
is doing the baby act to try to make
the public believe that he has been u.s.
ing an altered price-list for the last six
months without knowing it had been
altered. As to the insinuation that
Mr.. Mendenhall or myself distracted
the orders from the clerks files, it is
absurd on the face of it, as we wanted
the orders there to prove that only
500 blanks had been ordered, while it
was to his interest to make way with
them if he wanted to make his pencil
mark stand good for 1900, but Mr..
Lahey's evidence settled that matter in
short order. Now, Mr.. Petition ac-
cept one or both Of the above PROPOSE
lions, or acknowledge that they are
true, and lets have done with the mat
ter. JOHN s. MARTIN.

FOUR YEARS FAILURES, UNITED STATES AND

The mercantile mortality list for the United
States for three months past shows q decrease
as compared with a like period in 1889 of 243,
about per cent, but within the past six years
there were fewer failures during the first quarter
of 1883. 1887, 1886 and 1884. Decreases have been
reported compared with last year in all the
groups of states except the Middle states, in
every one of which increases have been reported,
notably in New York state, where the total is
A. against 372 in the first quarter Of 1889. Minor
increases have also been reported in Mississippi,
Tennessee, Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota,
South Dakota, Oregon and Washington.
The total liabilities OF failing traders for the
quarter of 1880 amount to S33, 8l4 ,301, against
81 ,76l 696 in 1889, which is almost exactly a
versal of the comparative totals for the first
quarters one and two years ago. The decrease
this year, as compared with last, is more than
20 per cent; last year, as compared with the
year before. the increase was u per cent. The
augmentation in the first three months of 1899,
against 1888, was almost exclusively due to fail
ures in Massachusetts,, where this year, as
against the initial three months of 1885, the de-
crease of liabilities is $40, ass, 600, about so per
cent.
On the other hand, there has been an increase
of liabilities of failing traders in New York state
this year amounting to about So, GOO, 0O0-more
than 100 per cent.
The assets OF failing traders this year, to April
/, aggregate SIG, 0S2, PIP, as compared with $2O,
&c. 79S in a like portion OF 1SS9-a decline of 20
per cent. also.

The general markets, produce, etc., are well

and tsst5Ts succeeded in making material de-
cli9skt6 few stocks, which they attacked with
sufi$tent vigor. News from the West this morn
ilse~as not assuring, and the government crop
6<5ort was an ducement to dealers, while the
zsGobability OF gold exports was used as bug
sbear to brighten timid holders.
Somt attempt was made to manipulate the
money market late in the day, and reports were
circulated that the bank statement tomorrow
viii show a material decrease in the surplus
serve, which, if true, would wipe it about out.
The list was, as usual, dull and steady, within

mated than any previous day this week.
Brokers were on the aggressive through the
day, and the market clio sed quiet but weak. with
