NEW YEAR ADVICE TO POLITI-
CLANS.

The Baltimore San, in calling attention
INDUCES several timely reflections as to the
mistakes of public men, which may be
protitably repeated.
"There are many men in public life, ;"
says the Sun, wise in their ways and in
the ways of the world who are vet not
wise enough to restrain their ambition or
greed when they have reached point in
their careers when further progress appar-
entity can only be made by ignoring the
rights, feelings and privileges of others.
The highest and most unselfish patriotism
in such cases would almost invariably prove
the most practical wisdom. But it is Just
here that the selfish and unpatriotic public
man shows himself sh0rt-sighted and foolish
His ideas of patriotism are measured by
his own personal advantage, and he cannot
conceive of the public welfare apart from
his own. In ''plaving politics. he is an
adept, hut when the situation demands I'M

the height of the occasion His sover-
eighty has been the reign of cunning and
c0nceited mediocrity which has sought to
reduce all forms of excellence to his own
lcvri-or a point Just below his own level
and to keep it there Necessarily such
men must in time ovcrrcach themselves as
was the case last year. A momentous
crisis comes: a great question is at issue and
they endcavor to apply to it their petty and
selfish methods and principles. They esti-
mate it simply by its special effects on
themselves, by the opportunities or glory
which they think it may offer to possible
rivals, or the chances which it seems to
present to them for advancing their own
personal or political fortunes. And then it
is that they are weighed in the balance and
and found wantng that they fail to mea-
sure up to the occasion: that the terrible
searchlight of public scrutiny is turned
upon them and that they are revealed in
their true proportions as petty, shallow,
selfish tricksters instead of the great men
they would have the country believe
them.

is hopelessly torn and distracted and
practically incapable of legislation either
with or without the aid of the Republicans
The Republicans do not care to be saddled
with the responsibility of Strengthening out
the blunders of Democratic mismanage-
ment, and are doubtlest averse to an extra
session. but the outlook now is that they
will be compelled to face the situation and
that President Cleveland will have no
escape from issuing call for an extra
session in the spring.
The country has so little faith in the
present Congress that it will be inclined to
favor the transfer of this delicate and diff
cult problem to Republican Congress, if
for no other reason than that the political
conditions which will prevail after the 18th
of March will make possible a more careful
and dspassionate consideration of the
whole question than can be expected in
the hurry of short session. With a
Republican House, a Senate under the
absolute control of neither party and Il
Democratic President, there should he
abundant opportunity to frame measure
of financial reform which will be free from
the vices of mere partisanship.

The battle in Delaware if not on the

the aroused feeling for purer democratic
government that is now so stirring New
York and other places.

AN IMPROVEMENT IN TRADE.

D"n's Rcric,r of the year 1894, which
was issued last Saturday, is encouraging in
that it shows an improvement in trade
over the year 1898 While it was worse
year than 1899, its improvement over 1893
is welcome evidence that the country is
steadily recovering from the financial
depression and gives bright outlook for
the new year. The Reric'r states:
Commercial failues in 1894. already re-
ported to r. G. Dun & Co.. number II 292
against 1920 last year. with liabilities of
1853, 23s. 40i against 1916. 10, $50 last wear.
Next week the final report for 1894 will
probably include about 100 more failures,
with liabilities of about s. 600, 900. From
these accounts, banks bankers, financial
and transporting companies are excluded.
Manufacturing failures already number
>, 156 against 3 422 last wear, but labili-
ties are only SCI, 49l .2s7 against SIG
$50. 091 last year The trading failures
already number 11.31l against | .512 last
year, but liabilities are only Ss7. 800. 051
against $50, O62 3333 last year The state
ment by sections on the next page shows
decrease of about two-thirCls in defaultcd
liabilities in Middle and Central Northern
States one-half in the West and Southwest,
and a third in other sections.
Wages actually paid in November are
compared to-day with working hours in
establishments Throughout the country. and
in about 80 branches of industry the aver
age being 235. 4 hours per hand this year,
2lS.1 last year and 2i3.2 in 1892. The
wages paid per hour were 1.2 per cent less
than last year, and $50 per cent less than
in 1892. As the hands employed in estah-
lishments reporting were s.53 per cent
more than last year. hut 1902 per cent
less than in 1899, the total wages paid in
these establishments in November was
1863 per cent more than in November.
1893, but PHI per cent less than in No
vember, 1892. Thus the decrease in pur-
chasing power of the working force is found
to be due mainly to decrease in number of
hands and hours of work, rather than to
reduction of wages paid per hour
