4 Voting Contest.

Ellsworth has never had a voting
contest through the newspapers. We
propose to fill this "long- felt want"
We have at our disposal three ''schol-
arships" of the Shaw business col
lege, a well-known Maine institution
By scholarship We mean tuition fees
one for six months, one for three
months in the stenographic course,
and one for three months in the regu-
lar course.
We offer these scholarships free
to the three young men or women in
Ellsworth whose friends give them
the largest number of votes between
now and September "a. This offers an
opportunity for three young persons
DESTROYS of business education to
get start tuition free. We have no
doubt there are many young persons
in this city who could manage to pay
their board for three or six months,
Or their tuition, but who cannot af-
ford both. 1t is persons like this
whom this scheme will help.
We ourselves are not entirely dis
interested in the matter; we expect
10 gain new subscribers by it. If we
don't, we lose what the scholarships
have cost us, but in any event we
shall stand by our pledge.
For the time being, then, the con-
testants become our canvassers; every
new subscriber means thirty votes; the
hyeliest hustlers will secure the schol-
arships. 1t will not be difficult to Sc
cure subscriptions to THE AMERICAN;

sentative paper OF the county; the

Seems as if all the things we like disagree

The second quarter of the year
closes with most encouraging returns,
says Dua,s Rerieu. Failures have
been a little larger than in the first
quarter OF the year, whereas a de-
crease of 90 per cent. might have
been expected from experience of the
past ten years, but with that allow
ance a difference of only $500, 900
can be charged to war and fears of
war, whereas solvent payments
through clearing houses for the quar-
ter were over $4,000, 100000. In the
very best years defaults range from
an eighth to fifth of l per cent. of
such payments, and in bad times from
third to half of per cent. or more,
but this year the proportion is less
than fifth. The quarterly statement
shows an aggregate of S34, 49s, 074,
which is smaller than in the second
quarter of any year since 1890 except
one, and the average of liabilities de-
faulted to firms in business, and to
exchanges through clearing houses, is
also smaller than in any year except
one of the past seven years. The re-
markable decrease in failures for
small amounts, and especially in fail
ures outside the principal centres of
credit and trade, deserves especial at
tention.
