The report Of failures for the month
Of November IS extremely gratifying
because It shows not only a decrease in
number and a smaller amount Of llabll-
tiles than in any other month except
ing three summer months since the
monthly record began. but because
careful analysis shows a striking inn
proyement both In the small and IN the
large failures and in nearly all classes
Of industry and trade. Considering that
failures are usually smaller IN summer
months than in November, the monthly
return may be considered about the
best ever made and shows an indlca-
tlon OF financial soundnesS never sur

works entered into an agreement by
themselves and hxed their scale q

lombard HAVANA.

The American people will not be sat
subdued. Land an army and form a
junction with Gomez, move up within
striking distance of the town, notify
Blanco to remove the women and chill
dren within twenty-four hours, and
then at the expiration of the time rain
shot into her streets, knock her ruins,
and fill her forts and sand fortifca-
tons with sizzling, bursting shells, IN
til white flags of truce take the places
Of the Spanish colors on every ram
part. There will be uneasiness and
criticism until Havana is reduced, and
Havana must be reduced before Cuba
can be free. Spain will show no signs
of surrender, nor will there be any
steps taken by the powers to force her
to yield to the inevitable until the cap
ital of Cuba is Knocked out. The Span
ish naval feet is far away and the
time is opportune. Americans cap
tured Havana once and can do it
again.
Turn to your histories. Havana was
once bombarded by Americans and
taken. 1t was more than a hundred
years ago when about 1900 troops,
chiefly from the American provinces,
were landed by a British fleet, a few
miles east Of Havana, on June 6, 1852.
The Spaniards offered a brave resist
ance and were aided by the ravages
of death which famine and the CHI
mate causes in the ranks of the enemy.
On June so an effective fire was open
ed on the forts of MORO Castle. The
British fleet of ships of the line under
an admiral were forced to retreat early
in the bombardment. The castles guns
were nearly all silenced, and on June
II the ditch, an outer work Of the cas-
tie, was gained by the besiegers. A
breach was made and a body of
Royal Americans" charged into the
opening. surprised their enemy and
captured the fortress. The city was
compelled 10 surrender to the British.
but was returned to Spain the follow
ing year. Americans captured Ha-

LEEDY's PLUMBERS.

Governor Leedy by keeping his
mouth shut and permitting the dogs of
Egypt to do the barking acquired some
standing as a more than ordinarily
level-headed Pop. But the response
bilities imposed by an actual state OF
war have exposed his inherent weak
ness. 1t is possible for an official to
be partisan and yet remain fair, but
1t takes a lear-headed man to play
such a role. Leedy in ignoring the
regularly organized militia of the state
or rather in humiliating the officers
and members Of the national guards
by depriving them of their arms, strip
ping them of their uniforms, and re-
fusing to accept them or admit them
into the service of their country, COM
mitted an outrage for which there can
be only one Of two excuses. either OF
which is unworthy. He either COM
mitted this wrong because these
guards were made up of and princi-
pally differed by Republicans. or 9TH
erwise because Of an oVerweening de-
sire to serve his party in offering the
Kansas regiments with his Pops. AS
there are only a dozen or so Of these
officers as against several hundred of
national guards. the mistake is plain
upon its face. The men whom he Will
commission can do him or his party
little good, while the hundreds Of loyal
boys whom he has Inundated, to-
gether with their thousands Of friends
and sympathizers, will not forget Gov
ernor Leedy's selfish and inexcusable
action when the day of reckoning
comes around, and that day is not dis
tant.

hostilities does not go beyond the af-

there is the example of Lincoln. When
he found a vacancy in the war depart

from a long line Of illustrious ances.

CLEAR FOR CONGRESS,

The complications growing out Of the
contest for the nomination for con-
gress in this district, if there ever were
any Of a serious nature, are rapidly
adjusting themselves. Senator Bent
ley's withdrawal leaves a clear field to
Chester I. Long, unless, which is alto
gether improbable, some other man
should want to test his strength as a
vote-getter in the convention. Sena-
tor Bentley's candidacy for the time
expended by him in making a canvass
was somewhat formidable and GER
tainIy very complimentary. The last
few days, however, has demonstrated
that Mr.. Long would have the con-
vention by a large majority. This,
with the fact that Mr.. Bentley is
warm friend of Mr.. Stanley and is
anxious for his nomination, and that
his candidacy might in some way
embarrass Mr.. Stanley's friends, de-
termined his course. He thus steps
down, losing none of his friends, and as
a matter of fact making many new
