The Week.

Dun's Review.
The full statement Of about $500
commercial failures for the third
quarter of 1895 will be published
next week, and will show liabilities
of about S3O,OO0,O0O of which about
$ll,OOO,O00 have been of manufac-
turing, and ST, 100000 of trading
concerns. In the same quarter of
last year the failures were 2,8G8, and
the liabilities $40 All, 1876, of which
sl2,33l, 1872 were of manufacturing,
and $l5, 5,lSl ,230 Of trading concerns,
while in the third quarter Of 1898 the
commercial failures were 4,0l5 with
liabilities OF $82 2,469, ,s21. In the
three quarters of 1885 the CONNER
cial failures have been about 9,400,
with liabilities Of about $llS,000000
against S13l,l44,502 last year, and
$25l 1884 ,265 in 1898. The liabilities
in manufacturing failures this year
have been about ISL 900, 900, against
$53, ,SGa,l4 last year, and in trading
about $G3 100000, against s66, 6,527,-

ufacture, but not as satisfactory re-
garding iron, woolen, leather or silk
manufactures. The volume of busi-
ness represented by railroad returns
for September thus far is 3S per
cent. larger than last year, hut ll.s
per cent. smaller than in 1892. The
exchanges through all the principal
clearing houses have been 81 4 per
cent. smaller than 1892. It is the
future, rather than the past, npon
which men are trying to base husi-
ness calculations, and at present the
outlook as to future busines is nearly
as encouraging as it was a week AGO
The one drawback is that while im>
ports of merchandise continne about
80 per cent. larger than last year.
the exports of cotton, the main re-
lance at this season for debt paving
are likely to be materially restricted
by the great advance in price.

The Campaign.

Nobody seems to be worrying
much over the campaign in this
State, and yet it is worth remember
ing that all election will be held on
the fifth of November. The disor>
qan,zed and dismal condition of the
State Democracy takes the inter-
est out of the campaign, and ma
joriiy of the voters would probably
have difficulty in telling, otf-hand
what officers are to be elected.
For the information ofall interest
cd in public affairs it may be salo
that a State Treasurer and sever
Judges of the newly created Superior
Court are to he elected, and tina
each voter can vote for cne person
~. Car Treasurer, and six persons TO
Judges. Each parry H..has nominated
six men for the Office of Juo. 'ge, 81
1T is as certain as any future evert +"
can be that one Democrat, and no
more, will serve on the Superior
Court bench.
The situation having been thus
outlined, the duty Of patriotic citi- !,
zens in relation to it is clear and :
easy. Democrats who cling to the
effor of their ways, despite the illum-
mating experience of the past two
wears, will vote the Democratic
ticket as usual; but citizens not thus
enmeshed in error will vote for the
Republican candidates and endorse $
the Republican policy. The is 'ue is 6
a square one between Republicanism
and Democracy. and is easily settled
on partisan lines. There are no
complications, no side issues, but :
simply the old familiar contest be-
tween two parties whose policies
and histories are familiar. No one
can make any mistake this year.
