Fewer Failures In 1892 than In Many
y Previous Years.
Liabilities are also Lower-io,270
Firms Go Down with Liza
bilitics Aggrcgating
Sos, 5OO,OOO.

The failures in the United States dur
ing the year 1892, according to Brad
streets report, amount to 1920, while
the liabilities amount to $I0s, 800, 900 and
the assets to s54, 100000. This is smaller
than has been reported for any year since
1888, with the single exception of 1882.
This Is true both in the number OF fall
urss and in liabilities.
The total business population Of the
United States In 1888 was $4,000 COM
mercial and industrial concerns, individ-
uals, firms and corporations of sufficient
prominence and standing to be recorded,
and the number of failures in that year
was 10, 200, the first time the aggregate
had passed the 10000 mark. Yet in
1892, nine years later, with business
population Of l,035 900, gain of q per
cent, the number of business failures is
only 1920, or about the same as it was
nine years ago, while the debts of the
failing trades are 40 per cent. less now
than then.
The decrease Of 2,124 failures this
year, as compared with last, reduced to
figures, shows that Southern trades fail
ures have decreased from $50 ,000,000 to
$l8, 900 900; in Western states from $42,-
00o, 900 to $4,000, 900; in Northwestern
States from $l3,000,000 to so, 000, 900;
Pacific States from 100000 to $1,000
600; Middle States from $59,000.O00 to
$4,000, 900, and New England States
from $S3,000,0O0 to $l6,000,0Oo. The
heavier decreases show in Massachusetts,
New York and Pennsylvania, but other
striking reductions are seen in Connecti-
cut, New Jersey, Kansas, Kentucky,
Missouri. Ohio, Nebraska, Iowa, Texas,
Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee. Florida,
Virginia and Arkansas. Bradsirset's
further says: 1.-THE moderate increases
In liabilities reported from Michigan,
Minnesota, Montana and South Carolina
are due to local disturbances, and in no
way point to growing causes Of CONNER
cial unsonndness."
r. G. Run & Co.'s Mercantile Agency
gives the following report:
The year 1892 was remarkable for fewer
failures than have occurred in any otker
year since 1886, the number being 10, 344,
or 2,02l less than in 1891. The indebt-
edness OF firms falling was but $1i4,000,-
900 in 1892. against $l5o, 900 ,09o in 1891,
and about the same in 1890. The aver
aye liabilities Of firms falling in 1892 has
been only 1000. the lowest average re-
ported since 1873
The largely increased number OF trad
ers, and the enormous increase of trans
actions for the year render these figures
most significant. In 1892 only one IA
every 1l3 traders failed, against one in
every ninety-three in 1891, and one in
every 102 in 1890.

MONSTER PREHISTORIC TIDES.

time when ii was only one-sixth part OF
that distance away, or say about 10000

logical epoch, Probably 1t was at the
time when the cocoon lived. The OBJ
ject OF this "note," however, is not to
speculate on the remoteness of the time,
but upon the powerful effects our "silver
sister world" must have had on this
earth, its waters and its atmosphere.
AT the present time theaverage beighth
of the tides is only about three feet. In
the far away time alluded to (when the
moon was only 10000 thousand miles
away they were 216 times as high as at
present, or GAS feet in heighth. Such
tide as that would wash st. Louis off the
face OF the earth, throw n flood of sea
water on the Chicago water works tower
and drown out almost every place of Inn
portance in the United States. Three
quarter tide would leave but few Of the
tallest chimneys and spires in st. Louis
above water, and full tide would run
well up into the pineries Of Canada.
But this would only last for few hours
at time. In less than five hours the
whole OF this vast food would have re-
treated.
Not only would it leave Missouri and
all of the remainder OF the United States
high and dry, but would probably drain
the Gull OF Mexico and leave gravel
and shell paved path from the mouth OF
the Mississippi to Cuba and Jamaica. A
few ''dry" hours would pass and then
the whole land would again be inundat-
ed, only to soon be abandoned.
These mighty tides are the gifts which
modern astronomers have made to the
working machinery of the geologist.
Who can doubt that they constitute a
terrific power while aiding in the work of
stratifcation2

BEATING THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT SYSTEM
Scheme Perfected fer Excepting
Track CT voHai Voters by
Tkcir Purchasers.

Los Angeles Gal Express: The willy
and ingenious political hecler has asserted
himself under the Australian ballot sys-
tenn as successfully as under all other
systems of balloting heretofore known,
and certain ear marks on ballots in GER
tain OF the wards show that at the cleo
ton votes we're purchased and were fur
nished upon as wide commercial scale
as ever heretofore.
Many persons who stood around the
polls election night and watched the
counting of the ballots were puzzled to
observe the great scattering vote on
members of the board OF education.
1t seemed that all the names known to
common and uncommon life were writ
ten ON the ballots for members of the
board OF education.
A singular coincidence occurred also in
that the ballots that bore strange names
in lead pencil for members of the board
of education we're all straight democratic
ballots.
The observer at the polls was also
struck with the great and steady interest
that gentlemen, not officers of election,
appeared to take in the result, which
impelled them to remain at the several
polls all throughout the count, studiously
keeping record of the votes. If the OBJ
server had peered over the shoulder of
these gentlemen he would have found their
keeping accounts was confined to taxi
ing down these lead pencil names written
upon the ballot for member of the board
of education and putting mark opposite
each name if the ballot bearing such
name was straight democratic.
If the observer had gone further he
| might have watched around certain head.
quarters or Offices next day and found
them beseiged by certain persons, and il
he had understood the reason why they
were thus congregsted he would have
known that each man had slip Of
paper bearing some kind of private mark,
and that that piece of paper, presented
to the proper authority at the Office OIL
headquarters aforesaid, would have been
taken up and the sum of $3.50 paid for it.
The bottom of all the business is this

"You 90 in the booth with your ticket

board of education. Then you don'i
stamp any of the names you find on the
ticket for this office, but write the name

The vote buyer then says: 81 will

"When hear the name John Jones
