the iron and steel industry
Although packer hides are active
and firm. tanners discriminate in IA
vor of late saltings, which is causing
some accumulation of less desira lie
quality. Imported hides are steady
at the recent decline, arrivals being
promptly absorbed.
Failures this week numbered 226 in
the United States, against 2O6 last
year, and II in Canada, compared
with a year ago.
Bradstreet's says: The situation is
rather more irregular. Distributive
trade, stimulated by better weather in
some sections, has improved, but is
still behind a year ago. Cereal crops,
prOvement, but cotton reflects drouth
by conditions in the South Atlantic
and Gulf state, While good reports
come from west of the Mississippi.
The industrial situation is hardly so
satisfactory, slowing down being
noted in many leading industries; the
number of idle persons is growing and
unskilled labor shows in some sections
a Woeful lack of foresight and knOWl-

RAILROAD EARNINGS.

New York, May 2s.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Retail trade is stimulated by sea
sonabIe weather and the industrial
outlook is brighter on the whole, al
though adverse factors have ap-
peared. The big dry goods auction
sale opened with an unexpectedly
large attendance and good prices were
secured. It is particularly gratifying
to note that retailers rather than
jobbers have made most of the pur-
chases, thus providing prompt distri-
button into consuming channels
throughout the country. Manufac
turing lines report a slight improve
ment at wooden mills and shoe fac
tories. and while there is more idle
cotton machinery it is worthy of note
that the last Fall River statement
showed very little reduction in divi-
dends. Railroad earnings thus far re-
ported for May fall SO per cent short
of the same time last year, but foreign
commerce at this port for the last
week shows gains of 1857, 200 in ex-

In his preface to the volume, George
w. Martin, secretary of the State His
torical society, says:
kansas has closed the first half
century of her organized existence. AS
this publication goes to press a general
observance of the anniversary of the
passage of the bill creating the terri
tory of Kansas, May 80, 1854, prevails
through out the state, in the schools
and clubs, and miscellaneous gather
ings of people. Wonderful results fol-
lowed the opening of this fair terri
tory, consigning to our pioneers the
greatest issue that ever confronted the
nation for settlement through the doc
trine of squatter sovereignty.
Hence the absorbing interest
| everywhere and at all times in the his
tory of Kansas. How the people love
to linger and revel with the story of
the territorial days of Kansas! What
an interminable history this people
! have made! Examine the papers in
this volume and then consider how
| tightly they touch the semi
NAL period. There are forty-seven
contributions in this publication, EN-
/ bracing three of a prehistoric char
acter, fifteen territorial "reminiscences,
I six relating to our Indian predeceS-
/ sOrs, six treating of John Brown and
1 the territorial conflict, six of the Civil
war, five of "reminiscences since state

 WARM CAMPAIGN
DEMOCRATIC MANAGERS CLAIM GOVERNOR DAVIS WILL RE. cEiVE PLURALITY OF 5o,o0o. RACE QUESTION FIGURES.

Little Rock. September 3.-The state campaign closed today and the election for state and county officers will be held Monday. An active canvass has been made by both democrats and republicans, and the latter are claiming tonight that they 10 majority. Other than a nominee for governor, Harry H. Byers, the republicans have no state candidates. Governor Jeff ferson Davis Is the democratic nominee for & third term. The other candidates for governor are J. b. Wilmans, prohibition ist; and William Penrose. socialist. The democratic state ticket, except for gover- nor, has no opposition.
 Two proposed amendments to the consti- tuition will be voted upon. One increases the number of supreme court judges from and second-class cities to Issue bonds for public Improvements.
 Approximately 15O.000 votes will be boiled, and the democratic managers claim that Governor Davis will have a plurality of 50,000 or more. The republican managers claim that many democrats will scratch Davis and vote for Myers, and that the latter will receive a large vote While state issues have figured largely in tho campaign, Governor Davis, in his speeches throughout the state, has em- phasized the race question. He has vol- untarily pledged himself to recommend to the legislature that the school funds be divided so as to make the negro public schools dependent upon taxes paid by the negroes
