BRADsTREETS REVIEW.
Analysis of the Failures For
the Last Three Years.

New York. June Brad
streets publishes this week the
result of what is claimed the
most important statistical in
vestigation, ever made concern
ing business failures in various
lines of trade. 1t covers the
last three years and the sum-
mary of its results presents
the total number of failures
in lines of business in which
there were ten or more annual
ly during the three years nam
ed. Purely commercial enter
prises, wholesale and retail,
are seen to furnish 10 per
cent of the business failures
each year, and the manufac-
turing embarrassment about
20 per cent. Out of the in
crease of nearly 2Ioo failures
in 1896, compared with 1895,
1915. or more than one half,
were of retail commercial con-
Germs. The counting of total
number of individuals, firms
and corporations in business
in thirty-seven groups OF more
important lines of trade is an
unprecedented work. The
totals constitute what may be
termed the business popula-
ton of the country and permit,
with the totals of failures in
these lines, the calculation of
the commercial death rate in
in the departments or lines of
business specified.
This record shows that in
1896, II, out of every 1000
clothing concerns and 81 out
of every 1000 bicycle houses
failed in business, the two
lines having relatively the best
commercial mortality last year.
The rate throughout the coun-
try in all lines lastyear was IA
commercial beats out of every
1000 in business.
Commercial failures were
relatively more numerous al
ter the two lines specified
among manufacturers and
dealers in hats, furniture, glass
ware, dry-goods, notions, jew
elry, woolens, lumber and hard
ware. After that the rate Of
embarrassment approximate
more nearly the normal.

DLSTRlBUrING FISH.

Advices from San Marcos are
to the effect that the hatchery
there has commenced to distri
hute fish, black bass, to the
streams throughout the State,
and that at the present rate the
streams will all be stocked, if
the supply of young fish holds
out.
Representative SIayden has
interested himself very greatly
IN the matter of stocking the
streams in this district with
game and food fishes, and some
time ago took the matter mp
with the fish commissioner who
assured him that every effort
was being made to furnish the
Texas commissioners OF agricul
ture with a supply of fish for
stocking the Guadalupe, Comal,
San Antonio, Cibolo, Medina,
Frio, Nueces. Llano, Blanco
and Ccncho Rivers, and now,
it appears, the distribution has
begun aud those who are in
tsrested in the matter should
see that their interests are not
overlooked.
Ia order to maintain a good
supply of fish in the streams,
after they have been stocked,
the fish aud game laws must be
enforced and public sentiment
In this direction must be edu
Gated. Representative SIayden
says Mr.. Savers told him that
one Of the chief obstacles to
securing the hatchery at San
Marcos was the wretched laws
Ia Texas which permitted the
destruction OF fish. These laws
have since been amended, aud
though they are yet lacking in
efficiency if properly enforced
will do much toward protecting
the fish from wanton drstruc
lion.
There are hunting and fishing
clubs all over the State and
every member of each and all
of them. should exert himself
90 secure the rigid enforcement
OF the fish aud game laws and

The people "up North, y
whose hands are ever up lifted
in horror at the lawless South,
for the fate so often dealt out
by Judge Lynch to rape fisnds,
have had another shock right
in their own midst. A negro in
Ohio, who had Drutally outrag
ed a refined white lady. was
tried aud sentenced to twenty
years penal servitnde-,he ex
IRENE sentence allowed by OHIO
law-but the people of the
community uprose in their
might and, setting the law at
naught. lynched the man after
the Southern fashion. In the
face of the most determined re
sistance of The officers of the
law, who were assisted by the
Ohio militia, the mob carried
out its purpose. Four citizens
were killed by the soldiers and
number wounded, In the
struggle. yet the firnd who was
thus protected was wrested
from the hands Of the officers
and given the death his crime
deserved. There was no doubt
of his guilt, and the details of
the deed were so sickening,
that the respectable colored
citizens of the town met and
declared the brute should be-
hung. Ohio should now make
haste to amend her laws so as
to punish such criminals as
they deserve-with death on
the gallows. 1t must bo admit
ted that there was more justifi
cation for this lynching than
there usually is for such deeds
In the South, because the law
of Ohio does not properly pun
ish the crime of which this man
was guilty, while every south
ern state does prescribe death
for such a deed. But the occur
renee shows that, after all,
human nature north Of Mason
aud Dixon's line does not diff
fer greatly from that on the
osuth Of it.
