Failures in 1891.

According to Bradstreet's record there
were more failures in 1889 than in 1890.
In view of the financial troubles Of the last
few months Of 1890 this statement will sur
prise most people. In 1889 there were
II, 700 failures, and in 1890 10,673.
But when the assets and liabilities of the
business wrecks are considered a different
state of affairs appears. In the failures OF
1889 the assets were $40, 200, 600 and the liza
bilities $14O, 900, COO; in the failures of 1896
the assets we're 500, 900, 900 and the liabill.
ties Sl7b. 100000. 1t is apparent, therefore,
that 1890 stands far ahead Of 1880 in the
amount Of money involved in the failures.
1t is worthy of notice, however, that the
estimated assets and liabilities were closer
together in 1890 than 1SS9--that is, that the
failures were not 50 disastrous. the proportion
of estimated assets to liabilities in 1890 being
53 per cent. while in 1889 it was only 80 per
cent. This would seem to indicate that
business was not on a shaky foundation. but
that lack of money prevented many Of
those who failed from utilizing their credit
for all it was worth.

People have strange fancies. Eyraud. the
Paris stranger, who is under a sentence of
death, has a wife and daughter who are in
defatigable in their efforts to make his
prison life more cheerful, and who are max
ing extraordinary exertion to get the presi.
dent to commute his sentence. The dsugh-
ter is very intelligent and rather hand
some girl, and number of unknown ad-
mirers are possessed by an extraordinary
desire to marry her. Several written pro
posals of marriage have been sent to the
unfortunate girl, and oven Nine. Eyraud
has been tormented by wealthy admirer
who declares that he is ready to share his
life and fortune with her. Since the con-
viction of the notorious murderer his wife
and daughter have been compelled to change
their address no less than three times tC
avoid the opportunities of photographers
trades people, religious enthusiasts aud
others. What queer fancy it is that some
people have for great criminals, or for any
body connected with them.

over to sleep again. after making his sixth res

The Vice President and His Party.

The Vice President and His Party.
There is the faintest suspicion that there
is not entire harmony between Vice Presi-
dent Morton and the republican senator's
who are trying to pass the force bill Some
remarks which he has made within the last
few days seem 70 point TO the conclusion
that be does not consider that be IS bound to
aid them in carrying out their partisan pur-
pose. Il will be remembered that on his
return from the south several
months ago he took occasion to say
some very kind things about
the southern people, ami Senator VOORHEES,,
q couple Of weeks ago. in a strong speech
against the force bill, complimented him on
his fairness and impartiality as the presid-
ing officer Of the Senate. A senator, speak
ing Of the part which the Vice President
would have to play when the struggle to
get vote on the force bill came. said, a
day or two ago, that the Vice President
had not as yet given any indication Of an
intention TO submit to caucus dictation.
He realizes, said the senator. that he is Vice
President of the whole country, and that,
although a republican, he is not bound TO
submit to or even agree with the results Of
a republican caucus.
Before the force bill can be passed a
closure rule must be adopted, and it will be
difficult to reach vote on the adoption of
such a rule unless the Vice President, as the
presiding officer. follows the arbitrary
course which Speaker Reed pursued when
he disrsgarded the rights Of the minority
of the House.
It has been suggested that il 10 the pur-
pose OF the republican senators to induce
the Vice President to take trip to Florida
when they are ready to bring the closure
rule to a vote. But could he be
induced TO abandon his post and permit il
to be filed by partisan who would obey
the republican caucusl The opinion is
pretty freely expressed that he could not.
He would hardly think it consistent with
his dignity to shirk the responsibilities of
his position. and, besides. if he is correctly
understood, be has very high appreciation
of the duties of his Office, and believes they
should be conscientiously performed.
The Vice President, therefore. may be a
serious obstruction to the programme of the
force bill senators. II he refuses to submit
to caucus dictation and declines to let some
one who will submit to it preside in his
place the difficulties in the way Of adopt
ing a closure rule may be insurmountable.
II the Vice President should pursue a
course which all fair minded men could ap-
prove he would give an Importance to his
office in the eyes of the people that it has
never yet had, and would win such distinc-
ton as no other Vice President has ever
euioved

Chicago Now Has a Chance.

Preparations for the Chicago worlds fair
now begin to assume tangible shape. At
least the proposed plans indicate such a de-
sirable condition. About 200 acres of
ground are comprised in that part of the site
that Is on the lake front. All the principal
buildings are 10 be grouped at one end of
the enclosure. Railroad tracks are to enter
the grounds and large depot to be used for
executive offices as well as a passenger sta
tion is to be erected. All of the buildings
are to be much larger than those used for
similar purposes at the Philadelphia centen-
NAL exposition. But when that is done
Chicago will have little or no room for such
extensions and special buildings as Philadel-
phia found necessary.
Here are the dimensions of the principal
Chicago structures: Main building, 750x
1900 feet; machinery hall, 400x2, 800 feet,
with 150x2, 800 feet added for locomotion.
Agricultural hall is to be 700xS00 feet.
Electricity has a separate building, 350x700
feet, all to itself, and the mining interests
are given about equal space.
Some idea of the relative size of the pro-
posed buildings may be conveyed by a
comparison with those of the Philadelphia
centennial. Chicago main building, 1900
900 square feet; Philadelphia main building
and annex, $40. 400 Chicago agricultural
hall. 100000 square feet; Philadelphia agri-
cultural hall, 292, $50. Chicago horticult-
ural hall, $40, 900; Philadelphia 81, 900.
At the Chicago exposition machinery hall
alone is designed TO cover more floor space
than the four largest buildings at the Phila-
delphia centennial From this the public may
judge that the show promises to be some
thing positively immense if the plans are
carried into effect Now that the commits
sioners have official authority to proceed
with the great enterprise they should lose
no time in doing 80. What they most need
now is to get together and waste no
more precious time in unseemly and idle
wrangling All the world is now gazing
upon Chicago.

Parnell, it is said. is willing TO retire from
the leadership of the Irish home rule party
In favor of Mr.. U'Brien. If the statement
is correct. Mr.. Parnell is letting common
sense control his course of action. The fact
is, he should have retired Immediately when
he found that his retention of the leadership
would cause discussions. O'Brien will not be
as good leader as Parnen was. but he will
do much better than Parnell under existing
circumstances. Parnell, after he marries
Mrs. O'Shea, as, it is understood, he has
promised to, may make his way to the
head of his party again.
