The typical legislature or city coun-
Gil or (elected) board of education, says
an anonymous writer in the March
Forum, consists of members of whom
one-third will vote as they think, or at
least as they prefer to vote, regardless
of possible advantages or disadvant-
ages to themselves. The votes of an
other third are merchandise pure and
simple. The remaining third consists
of debatable men, usually respectable
in private life, and with honest inten-
tions to do their public duties, but
often rather weak in character and
likely to owe money that they cannot
pay. Whether men Of this class serve
out their terms honestly depends on
the temptations they happen to en-
counter. If repeatedly called on to
vote on questions affecting large COM
peting private interests, their chances
of remaining honest are very small.

The Astorian received yesterday from
Bradstreets a small volume compiled
with great care, and containing con-
densed record of business failures in
the United States and Canada for the
year 1892. Among it's its many inter-
esting discoveries it finds that in point
of numbers failures in the United
States due to lack of capital continue
to take the first place, the total for
1892 being 3343 out of 1920 per cent,
though it is gratifying to note the pro-
portion is smaller than in previous
years. Liabilities of those which failed
last year from this cause were less
than one-half of the corresponding to-
tai in 1891. Failures due primarily to
Incompetence have not varied quite as
much within three years, numbering
1916 last year or 18 per cent. as COM
pered with 16 per cent. due to that
cause in 1891 and 10 per cent. in 1890.
Fainlures due to disaster numbered
fully 1874 in 1892 Q9.2 per cent?, as con-
trasted with 1871 per cent. in 1891 and
1877 per cent. in 1890. There has been
an increase of so per cent in failures of
this class within the middle states,
and that on the Pacific coast has also
been notably, but there has been no
great change reported year by year in
the eastern, western or northwestern
states. Southern states, where crop
conditions and floods have had some
influence, report 55S failures in this
class in 1892, against only 1893 in 1890
accounting for more than one-half of
the increase from 1890 to 1892.
The record of failures due to fraudu-
lent disposition of property in 1892 is
not encouraging, comprising 1913 per
cent. of the whole number, as COM
pared with per cent. in 1891 and only
4 per cent in 1890. Liabilities due to
fraudulent failures aggregated $1O,194,
900 in 1892 out of a total of liabilities of
all failing traders of sos, 900, about
9 per cent. There is seen to have been
moderate increase in number of fail
ures, due primarily to ineXperience, to
granting credits unwisely, in embarras-
ments due to failures of others, as well
as those due to personal extravaganza,
or neglecting ones business, to excess
sive competition and to- speculation
outside ones. business. There have
been decreases in total liabilities of
failures caused by lack of capital, 35
per cent. from 1890 to 1892, due to dis
aster SO per cent, to failures of others
65 per cent, and to granting credit un-
wisely 36 per cent. Liabilities of those
failing on account of fraudulent dispo-
sition of property show an increase
from $6,612,OOO in 1890 to $1O,194,OOO in
1892, after having aggregated $1S.1S9,-
GOO in 1891.

A representative OF the LEADER
i'll company with Senator Crosno
and Albert Peterson on Tuesday
week visited the Ayles coal mine,
which is located in section I3, about
a mile and half west of Toledo.
We found Captain Ayles very
pleasant gentleman, who showed
us their prospects. They are run
ming a tunnel about 5x6 feet and
have gone into the mountain side a
distance of I45 feet. They expect
to reach the vein within the next
thirty feet The Captain has good
experienced men, and is building
good tunnel, timbering and log
ging it in a good substantial man
ner. The mine is located one-hali
mile from tidewater, and if sufficient
coal is found will be very easy oi
access. We hope that the company
may realize their fondest hopes, as
such enterprises are the making o
our country.

we often hear our business men

farms and develope our resources
as best we can, and be in good
shape to enjoy prosperity and good
times The trouble in all new
countries is there are certain class
ofpeople who want to sell out and go
farther west, as soon as civilization
advances. This is all right, but il

strong for Mrs. Young to hold onto

off the raft into the river, but she
hung to the rope and pulled for

exhausted. Meanwhile the raft

children was speeding down the

a more muddled condition than
ever before. The matter of the
confirmation of the recent sale
came up for hearing at Corvallis
last Tuesday and upon the showing
made by the various and conflict
ing elements the court refused to
confirm the sale.
Just how the matter now stands
is the most difficult to say. We

about next May.
We are free to say that we dom
see any possible solution to the
matter at this time. We wish W,
