WONDERFUL RACE.

The most marvellous race of the age
IL the one now being seen by President
Mckinley and Governor Russell, and it
seems that il will remain an unsolved
nroblem for all time to come which won
in this ignoble contest. Each one, 1t
seems. sets out to see which could find
the most Incompetent and unfit man for
a high office, and Mckinley hit upon
Bernard for United States District At
torney. ANA Russell hit upon John r..
Smith for Commissioner of Agricul-
tire. Both have succeeded, but which
got ihe lowest down will ever remain
in doubt. The appointment of men to
high and important official positions so
unfit and incompetent as these men are
universally known to be, can but bring
the administration of the law into ridi-
cule and contempt. Let us hope that in
the appointment of these men the bot
tom has been reached. From Polk
and Nc Geehee to John r. Smith. From
Busbee and Aycock to G. M. Bernard.
What a fall! Is there anything worse

of failures shown of about half of one
per cent. while compared with 1892 there
was an increase of ~ per cent. Liabili-
ties of those fang constituted one OF
the smallest totals of recent years,
amounting to only 1856, 10000, a de-
crease of 81 per cent from 1891, but a
eain Of AZ per cent over 1892. The least
favorable showing is made by the East

when the depth Of depression following
the panic may be said to have been
reached; 5 per cent over 1893, the year
of widespread disaster in financial and
commercial circles, and only seven per
cent smaller than the total of 1892 when
the boom following the large foreign
demand for American bread-stt1ffs and
other products reached its height. -
Practically the entire grain elearings
in 1897 was concentrated in the last
six months, and it is a significant fact
that the heaviest monthly total reported

month of December. Grains were
heaviest in the Northwest, the Middle
