CARLYLE HARRIS HOPES.
Said to be Based On Richard Croker's
Influence.

Said to be Based On Richard Croker's
ALBANY, April 5.-If Carlyle Har-
ris is fortunate enough to escape
the electric chair he can thank
Richard Croker for it, for word
comes from New York that the
Tammany chieftain will come here
for the express purpose of interced'
ing for the condemned man with
Gov. Flower.
That the Harris family, mother
and son, have been buoyed up by
some such hope las been made
manifest by the sudden disappear
ance of tf 9 mother from the pubic
gaze since the murderer was taken
to Sing Sing, and by the almost un-
natural cheerfulness which Harris
has displayed in all his public utter
ances, and whenever be has placed
himself on exhibition to crafty the
whims of the morbid and the curl
Gus.
Gov, Flowers policy since Re-
corder Smytn resen,enced Harris
has been dignifed and noncommit
tai in the extreme. Petitions and
letters have been received by him
by the bushel in favor Of Harris.
Scarcely en- hour has passed daily
that his opinion has not been asked
touching the guilt of the pri oner,
or as TO whether he would exercise
the highest prerogative bestowed
upon his office and commute the
sentence. On these occasions the
Governor has sbown the qualltca-
tions of good listener and poor
talker. Even his closest friends
have struck a reluctant streak that
discouraged persistent questioning
To one of the most influential men in
the State, who asked him for an
opinion as 10 his probable action,
the Governor made this reply;
There will be time enough TO de-
eide when the question comes up y

COTTON dropped again heavily

This has led to similar movements

We entirely sympathize with the
idea that the salaries at Washing
ton need revision Most of the
bureau salaries are too low to at
tract the right sort of men. Living
is quite high in Washington City,
and men of established business
and frst-rate ability are seldom
willing to break up their customary
mode of living, and move their fam
lilies to Washington on pay that will
not support them A few may be
attracted by the official honor; some
may be temporarily out Of work; but
for the most part, the c. mpensation
is inadequate to command the right
class Of men
As an instance, the position Of
Commissioner of Pensions may be
cited. The salary is but five thous-
and dollars. That office disburses
one hundred and fifty millions a
year Any nan who can efficiently
administer that Office should com
mand ten thousand dollars for bis
services. Agaln the places OF As
sistsnt Secrettr es have such small
salaries attached to them, that men
of mark must submit to grea,
sacrifice in taking them. That thew
do sometimes, is doubtless owing tc
the distinction which go with
such honorable places. But mer
should not be paid in honor,

THE turn OF THE TIDE
Decided Signs Of Improvement in
the Business World.
FEWER FAILURES OF IMPORTANCE

A Distinct Improvement in the Demand
for Manufactured Products = The Re-
covery Which Began with Repeal Con-
tinues with Increased Strength.
NEW YORK, Nov. n.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says; The turn of
the tide has come. Since the elections
there has been distinct improvement in
business. and particularly in manufactur
ing. There Is some increase in actual
transactions and much more in the tone
Of business. Men of all parties feel that
there is ground for greater confidence, the
silver question being put definitely out OF
the way, and the chance of disturbing &C
tion in other respects being lessened.
While it is yet too early to look for great
changes, there is already distinct i'm
provement in the demand for manufac
tured products since the action on the sill
yer bill, some increase in the output Of
pig iron and in the sales of wool, in tn,
building trades in several cities and tn,
failures for the week reported show lower
liabilities. In brief, the recovery which
began when the silver bill passed contin
ues with increased strength.
The first week of November has passed
and thousands of business men breath,
more freely because the apprehended fail
ures in dry goods have been much les
numerous and less important than wa
feared. No doubt it is true that man,
concerns have been carried over by exten
sion, but even a moderate revival OF trad
will enable most of them To weather tn,
storm.
The volume Of domestic trade, though
smaller than year ago, shows consider
ably less decrease than appeared in Sep
TENDER or October, the exchanges at tn
clearing houses outside of New Yorl
houses being only H. smaller than for tn
corresponding week last year.
The failures for the past week have beer
96l in tho United States, against 2lo 70
the Same week last year, and in Cansd
81, against 90 last year. There were fail
ures with liabilities between 100000 an,
$500, 900 each, and SO with liabilities be
tween &, 900 and si0o,000 each. The liabil
tiles of failures for last week reporte,
show avery encouraging decrease, amount
ing to only ss,457 900, against 81 900 70
the preceding week, and IL is noticed tina
while the number of failures does not ma
terially decline as yet there are fewer o
importance.
