keptucky's New Senator,

There is considerable interest in the
man whom the Kentucky Democrats
have selected to succeed United States
Senator Blackburn. who has been for
80 years a picturesque figure at the
national capital. This man is Thomas
II. Paynter. who is known as Judge
Paynter by virtue of the fact that he
has been a member Of the Kentucky
state court Of appeals for the past 10
years. His selection is a result of the
bitter factional fight among the Ken
lucky Democrats. Paynter being the
candidate of the aggressive and reck-
less Goebel wing of the Democratic
party in that state. which has alenat
ed and driven from it most Of the for
mer leaders of the party. This radi-
cal faction is now supreme in Ken
lucky. Governor Beckham is a lead
er of this faction and hopes to succeed
McCreary as United States senator
when the latter's term expires in 1909
Before being elevated to the bench
Judge Paynter represented Kentucky
from 1889 TO 1895 as member of the
national House. so he is not wholly
an unknown figure in Washington. al
though there have been vast num-
Der Of changes there in the past IL
Years. He is 80 years of age, being n
| dozen years younger than Senator
Blackburn whom he will succeed
when that veterans term expires in
| 1907. Blackburn has been guilty of
| many political vagaries. but his Ken
| lucky stories have been a solace tn
| the wearied members at the capital.
and his colleagues, regardless Of party,

The relatively low mercantile NOR
tality is best shown by comparisons of
liabilities TO the number of firms in
business and to the solvent payments
through the clearing houses. In the
first ratio, it appears that the average
loss for the last twelve months was
less than $50 for each firm in business,
against sl11. 80 i'm 1904 and S290.65 in the
year 1893. Probably the other parallel
is the most instructive, as it presents
the bad debts in contrast to the
amounts actually disbursed in bank
exchanges. This comparison shows de-
futs of less than one tenth of one cent
during the entire year 1908, liabilities
averaging less than one dollar to each
| 81. 900 of clearing house exchanges,
whereas the ratio was sI.2s in the pre-
vious year and sG.39 in 1888
The failures of 1905 here in Maine and
throughout New England We're also
fewer in number and in the amount of
liabilities. as they We're in the country
at large Here in Maine. there Were
| lS9 failures i'm 1905. against 1872 in 1904
the liabilities being $1,24S.i07 i'm 1905. as
against sl,1524lO in 1901. In New Eng
| land as whole, there We're 1922 fail
u:rs i'm 1905. as against 1851 in 1904 the
liabilities being S12o3o.o6l in 1905. as
against sl9.53s.47 in 1904. Thus. while
| the de, rease i'm the number of failures
| was not Il very large one, the decrease
in the liabilities was exceedingly graft
| flying The fact that the failures We're
| fewer in number and that the decrease
in the amount Of liabilities was ever
more marked. in spite of the steadily
growing volume Of business, is 4 most
impressive proof of our national pros
perity.

The Failures of 1905.

The complete returns of Dun's mer-
camille agency regarding the failures
of 1905 support the earlier estimates
made that the number of failures in
that year, in spite of the vastly in
creasing volume of business, was
smaller than it had been for several
years. There were 1850 failures in the
country in 1905, as against 1888 nj 1904.
the liabilities in 1905 being s102,616.172
as against $144,20e.3ll in 1904. The
striking decrease in both number and
liabilities Of insolvencies in the year
1906 as compared with the previ-
Gus year is most encouraging
evidence of the stronger position of the
business community. and the compare
son with 1903 is still more satisfactory.
During the past 20 years the amount of
capital invested in the various gainful
occupations has increased almost
steadily and the volume Of trade ex-
banded so remarkably that it would be
logical to expect the amount of de-
faulted indebtedness to rise in SINH
lar ratio. That it has not done SO is
conclusive evidence of progress in the
right direction, of the more cOnserva-
tive methods prevailing ard the
generally healthier situation. In the
two decades just ended there have been
mary years of prosperity, yet 1899 is the
only year that recorded smaller liabili-
ties than 1905. The number Of failures,
the amount of liabilities. and average
amount Of liabilities each year since
1879 are given below:

it was believed that the gods had in

1t has been frequently remarked for
some time past that industrially and
financially Belfast is in a better condi-
ton than at any time in the past 81
years. The local review of the year
1865. published in the Belfast Journal
sustains this view. There has been no
boom. but steady, healthful growth
OF existing industries. while the in
creased deposits in the financial insti-
buttons show that the prosperity is
general. The Leonard K BarrOwS shoe
factory has largely increased its pay
roll during the past year; the Duplex
Roller Gushing Co.. n comparatively
new industry. has added to its facilities
and increased it's business and the
number of its employees. Mathews

received good prices for their products
Of all kinds. There have been no fail.
ures in business. and it is rarely indeed
that such occur there.
