A STUDY IN FAILURES

y RADSTREETS commercial state
~ ment for August, 1902, contains
some figures that make an interesting
study. An attempt is made to make Re
publican capital out of the statement
that the total liabilities for last month
are somewhat less than for the CORE
spending period in 1901. But the argu-
ment that this shows increasing gen
eral prosperity falls TO the ground
when the statistics are studied care
fully
They show that In 1901 there were
fewer commercial failures than in 1902
So that, Notwithstanding the decrease
in total liabilities. the aggregate num-
Der of bankrupts for August, 1902. was
greater than in August, 1901. The aver
age indebtedness this year was a lit
tie more than $4,000. In 1901 it was
more. than $1,000. There is a reason
why THIS should be true and why it

THE LIVESTOCK SUPPLY.

A SALT LAKE BUTCHER said yes
II terday that he was compelled 10
charge from 20 TO 30 per cent more for
meat now than he charged some
months ago. because he had TO pay the
packers that much more for the car
casses. Not long since, when the out
cry against the meat trust was most
general, no attempt was made to deny
that the prices of meat had been ad-
vanced considerably.
BY way of justification the trust set
up the plea that they were compelled
20 pay more for their cattle. that the
supply was very far short Of the sup
ply in former years. Later on they
said that as soon as the grass-fed cat
tie began coming in the prices would
be lowered. Well, CRASHED cattle are
coming in now. but there has been no
lowering Of the schedule of prices. If
in the opposite direction.
That the trust deliberately attempt
ed to deceive the public about the sup
ply. is shown by an extract from a
circular issued by the bureau of
statistics of the United States treasury
department, covering the receipts of
livestock at the important slaughter
ing centers. This report, the accuracy
of which may be depended upon, says
that during seven months ending July
81, 1902, the receipts of livestock at the
five markets of Chicago. Kansas City,
st. Louis, Omaha and St. Joseph were
"a. 922 .O94 head.
During the corresponding period in
1901 the total receipts at the same mar
kets aggregated S5,S23.972 head. There
was a decrease. but 1t was only about
one-thirty-f fifth of the total, or con-
siderably less than per cent. Never
| theless the packers combine consid-
cred it sufficient TO justify a price in
crease of from 20 to 80 per cent. This
is the trust that President Roosevelt

Not long ago l was asked whether
Joel Chandler Harris had eyer writ
ten novel, and IL took some little
skirmiShing in memory to make a re-
ply. 1t seems surprising that this
writer should have established such a

short fiction alone. AS a matter of
fact, however, Mr.. Harris first long

a story of Georgia during the recon
struction days. A number of charac-
ters from his former short stories make
their temperance in this novel. The
publishers say that if the story has a
purpose, other than that of making en-
joyable reading, il is TO show the evils
and inJusuces of the carpetbaggers
from the north to organize the negroes
and influence them against the whites.
II must not be imagined, however, from
this that Mr.. Harris has written the
story in the spirit which characterizes

Right here enters a great question
among the publishers: What rights
have they, as publishers. to make
changes in the manuscripts of their
authors, is a problem always. IL is
true that the work of many writer's is
carefully edited, and this is doubtless
as ii should be. In the case of IN
known writer's, the publishers are re-
sponsible to the public for having is
sued their work. 1t would seem that
the publisher has some other function
IMAM that Of mere manufacturer and
seller of merchandise. But, when an
author has established himself, il is
not likely that the publishers care to
disturb his work. II is a case OF take
II and publish it as it has been written
or leave il alone. There are many
| firms, however. who find it difficult to
draw the line. They feel a certain need
Of maintaining the reputation which
they have established with the public
on the one hand, and they have the
Keen desire, on the other, to secure the
work Of famous authors who may
oVerstep some OF their stern rules as
to the class Of books which they shall
issue.

be distinguished by a large increase in
these fine examples OF the bookmakers'
art. The Dent edition OF Hazlitt stands
perhaps, first 1t is. strange to say.
the only complete edition OF this great
critics writings ever gotten out. and
the edition Of this special issue is linn
tied TO $50 copies for this country.
An American work. Of vastly more
popular Importance, is a forthcoming
edition OF Edgar Allen Poe. which, as
in the case of Hazlitt, is also elaine:
10 be the first complete and accurate
edition Of the author. The publishers
of the new Poe edition say that the
editors have endeavored to reproduce
the work of Poe just as il came from
his pen and not with the cancellations
and many changes which have been
made in previous editions. IL is un-
fortunate that the authors most con-
cerned with postarity cannot them
selves arrange their work Just as they
would have it appear after their death.
IL is possible, of course, that the future
editor of Poe may find no further
changes 10 make In his writings; il is
possible also that many changes may
be made which the author himself
would not have dreamed Of having had
made. Perhaps the authors themselves
do not care very much how their work
appears after they have gone. Some
one once called Rudyard Kipling's at
tention TO the vast amount of talk his
illness had caused and what had been
said as to what posterity would think
of him.
What do care for posterity," Kip
ling replied. "Posterity Will take care
of itself. l will not be alive then TO
see what it cares for me-" Yet il must
be remembered that among all authors

his work. What he has written thus
tar has been gone over most carefully
by the author. and it is well known
mat he desires II TO stand as he has
thus let IL.

Hon. Solomon Luna returned last
night from a visit to Washington,

worked hard and successfully for the
advancement of the best interests of
New Mexico. He believes that the
chances for the admission of the ter

that favorable reports upon the pend

be made by the senate and house CON-
mittees on territories and that the pas
sage of the bill is very probable this

to be done. In the matter of appoint
