ENUME RATION AND REAPPORTICNMENT

The Democrats of the Assembly doubtless
have no idea that either of the bills which their
representatives on the Enumeration and Reap
portionment Committee reported will get through
the Republican Senate. Their Enumeration bill,
that is to say, their bill providing for the
enumeration of the inhabitants of the State, was
justly characterized the other day by General
Hustled as "faroe." 1t is just that 1t was
introduced for politics only-for the purpose of
vindcating' Governor Hills amazing blunder
in vetoing the Enumeration bill of 1885 which
was passed by Republican Legislature. The
true inwardness of that veto is an open
secret. The Governor killed the measure, and
thus defeated an express mandate of the Con-
stitution simply because it gave, or he thought
that it gave, the Republicans large amount
of patronage. lie insisted in 1885, and has in
sisted ever SINCE that the Legislature should
pass an Enumeration bill conforming to his
views rather than their own. The measure
which he vetoed was modelled after the
Enumeration bill which Governor Tilden signed
but he would have none of tit placed Ger
tain amount Of political power in the hands of
the Republican Secretary of State, and that was
enough for peanut politician like Hill. The
Democratic Enumeration bill of this year is
substantially the Hill bill-the one which he
tried to extort from the Republican Legislature
OF 1885. Ii it gets to the Senate the farce
| will be consigned to a committee, and that will
be the last OF it.
The bill for the reapportionment of the Con-
gressiona districts is destined to meet with the
same fate This also is partisan measure. 1t
is brazen attempt to advance the political
fortunes of the Democratic party OF New-Yorli
at the expense of justice. 1t was evidently pre-
pared by those who know a real nice gerry
mander when they see it. "The Albany Jour
nal,' in its review of the BILL points out three

First-It gives NewYork lower range OF population

THE FAILURES.

The report of failures for the first quarter
Of 1891 is not on the whole dscouragng
when it is considered that the increase in num-
Der is only about 10 per cent, and the increase
in liabilities but little more, and that many fail
ures were due to the severe pressure and dis
turbance last fall and winter. but in another
aspect the returns are decidedly less encouraging,
for they disclose most unsatisfactory state of
things at the South, just where the largest cot
ton crop ever grown and the rapid increase Of
manufacturing establishments had given reason
to expect improvement. To show the great
difference between the sections in this respect
the following has been compiled, giving the
amount of liabilities to each firm in business for
the first quarter of 1891 and 1890 in each Sec
ton, and also the ratio of liabilities of firms
failing to the exchanges through clearing houses
in each section:

In 1880 the Republican votes cast In the same
States numbered "a $50, and after eight years
increase of population the votes were fewer ny
nearly 10000. This is the system OF wholesale
robbery which the Democratic party knows to
be necessary to its existence, and which 1t IN
sists upon perpetlating at any cost. At the last
session the whole body of Democratic Repre-
sentatives and Senators plainly ayowed a deter
mination to defeat any and every other meas
ure if necessary, in order to prevent the passage
of any which would give the colored voters
chance to recover their rights. Better that the
wheels of government should be blocked, they
openly declared, better that any loss whatever
should fall upon the people and any disgrace
whatever upon the Government, than that this
wholesale robbery should lie in any way. checked
or restrained.
These facts are now submitted for the benefit
of those who hope to organize new party. They
are counting upon the votes OF colored members
of the Farmers Alliance and imagine that the
crimes perpetrated for the acknowledgements or
colored men cannot be repeated for the dis
franchisement of Alliance members. But they
will discover their mistake in time. The South
ern conspiracy Of Democrats, which surrounds

own tools to receive the votes, and makes such
returns as it pleases after the votes have been
cast, will conduct the election in Southern States
whenever the Alliance threatens Democratic sue
cess. If the truth were known, that is the
secret of the obstinate refusal Of Democratic
managers in Southern States to cOuntenance an
Alliance National ticket, because they know that
they would then be prescribed DISTINGUISHED
and counted out by the same conspiracy which
has manufactured Democratic majorities to order
in times past. Only this week war has been
formally declared in Mississippi by the Demo
cratic leaders against those who adhere to the
platform of the Alliance, and the event serves
warning upon Western supporters of the organ
izaton that the Southern States, by fair means
or by foul, are to be kept solid. When the
Western farmers get their eyes open they will
see that they are doomed to defeat in Southern

1t will be noticed that the average of liabil-
tiles to firms failing in the NewEngand, Mid
die, Western and Pacific sections was about the
same in 1901, and in three of these sections the
average was not far distant in 1890. But in
the Middle section the average had been I'M
usually large in 1890. because of well-remem-
bered disasters growing out of the recurrence of
open winters, while this year in that section the
average fell back to that Of other sections. On
the other hand, the Southern States recorded
an average not widely differing from the West
ern or ew-England States in 1890, but this
year the average has suddenly almost doubled.
SO great change cannot be attributed to ordi-
nary causes. Ii is even more significant that
the ratio OF liabilities Of firms failing to ex-
changes through clearing houses in the differ
ent sections shows great change. Though the
ratio differed in 1891 from that of 1890 not as
much as 81 per 81, 900 in any other section, it
rose at the Sonth from S11 33 in 1890 to S23 SO
IN 1891. This is not because the infreQuency
OF clearing houses al the South and the habit
in that section OF making settlements largely
through New York or other Northern cities,
make the ratio of liabilities to exchanges larger
there than elsewhere. The number of clearing
houses included each year was the same, and
they presumably reported substantially the same
proportion of the entire business transacted.

at the South comes in spite Of good croDs At

THE GREAT ROBBERY.

Thanks to all the Democrats and rev ne
publican Senators, about 6OO,OOO Amerlcah
citizens were robbed of their right OF suffrage
in Southern States last fall. The census OF the
colored population in Southern States has been
completed, and while only the aggregate 1or inc
different States has been made public, the num-
Der of voting age can be closely estimated In
the five Southern States having the largest pro-
portion of colored population its increase mas
been 16 per cent and there were 0lo'o3o COL
ored males of voting age ten years ago Inc
number DOW should therefore be about ioo'ooo'
But last fall there were no Republican votes
cast in South Carolina, Mississippi or georgia
about IA, 600 in Louisiana and 42,OoO IN Ala
bama. At the Presidential election two years
ago there were 172,176 Republican votes cast
in these five States, though the number OF col.

a million greater. The following shows inc
