Reorganization of the Arena Publish
ing Company.

On petition of the creditors of the
Arena Publishing Company made Oct
l, 1896, before Judge Dunbar to APP
point a temporary receiver, A. D..
Chandler, Esq, was appointed for the
protection and adjustment of the in
terests of the creditors during reOr-
ganization of this company. The Off
GERS of the company did not contest the
petition, feeling that it is for the best
interests of all parties concerned as an
equitable plan pending the business
changes TO be made.
The Arena Company will be recapi-
talized by experienced business men
and placed in new hands and on firm
financial basis, the mag zine to be an
open court for the PRONUNCIATION of all
authoritative and important opinions.
The business of the Arena, both as a
magazine and as book publishing
house, has had quite phenomenal
growth, but had not sufficient capital to
handle the business into which it had
developed. With the reorganized COM
pany the Arena will be enabled to ex-
tend its growth and add to it's reputa
ton now so well established, in the sue.
cess of which all readers and thinkers
feel personal interest on account Of
the national influence which this publ
cation has attained.

A Melancholy Anniversary.

December 7 was the ninth annivers-
airy of the memorable message which Mr..
Cleveland devoted exclusively to the
subject of the tariff; the condition,
not theory" message of December
6, 1857.
The conditions which confronted US
that time was revenue producing
about $18, 100000 in excess of the gov
ernment's annual expenditures.
The condition which confronts Con.
gress to-day is revenue producing for
the present fiscal year at least $751;
100000 or $S0,000,000 less than the
necessary expenditures of the govern
ment; an annual deficit of $75 200, 900
or $50 100000 to be made up by bor-
rowing money and paying interest
thereon.
Such was the beginning and such is
the end of the nine years. period of ex-
perimental craftsmanship in the re-
form of the national finances by the
Hon. Grover Cleveland and his fol-
lowers.
Well, it is over, and the b ook is about
to open at new chapter; and exactly
how much has been lost by the country
since the Cleveland experiment began,
