Evkky indication got'H tonhow that if
there id not an immediate “boom” in
prospect, there are unmistakable evi
dences of a sure and steady improvement
in business, and a healthy and sound re
vival of prosperity. This is better than
a “boom.”
Tint democratic newspapers of Mr.
JJandall’s way of thinking are already
arguing that it won’t do to revise the
tariff when congress meets again. The
hick of time is the reason assigned. An
eternity would scarcely be time enough
if left to the Handallites.
Tun expenses nt the white house have
been less during the lineal year ending
Juno doth last than for any year except
ing one for a decade. The past year they
were $l,i id 1.10, and in IN77 wore SHI,80S.
5n 1882 they were $0,00!!. 14, and fhe year
before $0,000.80. An appropriation of
$8000 was made last year, and a little
iver half of it used.
Tim Ilrookiyn Eagle, a democratic
journal, says that Henry George an
nounces himself as a .lell'ersonian demo
crat. There are already so many diifer-
ont styles of .lell'ersonian democrats that
the addition of the Ilenry George style
can make but little difference. Most
people long ago abandoned all hope of
linding out exactly what a Jeffersonian
•democrat is, and are accordingly undis
mayed by the intelligence of the discov
ery of any new specimen.
The strike of the l.d.OOO pork packers
■ of Chicago against the ten-hour edict of
the employers promises to be serious.
The beef packers, numbering 7)000,
threaten to join the movement. At ibis
season of the year such a strike, if pro
longed, would he most unfortunate. Il
•would alleet the meat markets of the en
tire country. As yet no conflict is re
ported, Imt the butchers are an ugly
crowd to deal with, and a slaughter may
fake place before the dilliculty is settled.
Tun Russian government recently gave
un order t<> a Glasgow manufacturer for
a number of steel armor plates for the
ltlack sea licet. <hi arrival of the plates
at Sebastopol over 'St per cent, were re
jected as useless. Russian papers pro
claim that the English armor plating is
thereby proved to he inferior to the Rus
sian, as the plates coming from a Russian
factory all stood tlie test. English papers
declare that there was unjust discrimina
tion in favor of the Russian plates. It
-vines* not seem to occur to the Russians
■that the Britishers may have purposeh
sent them inferior armor with a view to
making the task of British guns in knock
ing it to pieces one of these days a com
paratively sell job.
Veeoltnixti to the record kept by Brud-
street’s t'omitiereial Agency, the failures
throughout the 1’nitcd '■hates, for the
nine months ending with the lirst ot
September, aggregate 77)82, or Sit less
than the number for a like period of last
year. The assets of those failing in busi
ness this year amounted to $:!7..'!!i7,07>ii,
against .>4!!,Siil,Si)0 Iasi year, and the lia
bilities were $77,110,81-1. against $!H1,!>7(>,-
57)8. This shows an improvement over
any year since ISM!. Notwithstanding
tl»e fact that there lias been a large in
crease in the number of linns and the
amount of means embarked in business,
there lias been a marked decrease in the
number of failures and the amount of
.capital n reeked.

There ran he no doubt that public
prosperity is flourishing. The slowly-
growing confidence ns to the permanent
character oftlie revival in trade has been
strengthened by the experience of the
past week. Bradstreet’s reports the bank
clearings in thirty cities for tlie week
preceding October 0th at(1,300,255,487,
as against $t)t)(!,H4.'l,528 the week before,
and against $!l!!ti,7!5H,l!)7> for the corres
ponding week last year. The increase in
railroad earnings is well maintained and
1 lie manufacturers are busy, especially
those of metals. Dig iren lias advanced
$1 a ton, and the furnaces north ami
south have large amounts of orders
ahead. There lias been a continual stif
fening in the prices of wool
and cotton fabrics also. Breadstuff's
and hog products are exceptions
to the general rule, remaining depressed
notwithstanding an improvement in ex
ports. So far as the local business here
in Columbus iH concerned our manufac
turing industries are all as busy as bees.
The cotton mills were never before with
so many orders ahead as they are at this
time. (tne of the prominent manufac
turers tells us that it will take him sev
eral months to till the orders now on file,
even should another one not be re
ceived.
This is, indeed, a gratifying state of
atrairs, and all the more so from the fact
thut the pessimistic republicans proph
esied that the democratic administration
would ruin the country. But it seems
that the country and democrary arc
alike nourishing. A cotemporary
makes the very truthful statement
that democracy is growing and gaining
strength from harvests of its own sow
ing. J’ublic prosperity is not always a
necessary sequence of honest and wise
government, but it is very certain that it
can not long subsist without its care and
hoi11. The changes in business conditions
in the first year and a half of a demo
cratic government arc extremely impres
sive, and they’ have occurred not only
without any special and extraordinary
developments especially promotivc of
commercial prosperity, like that unpar
allelcd commercial epoch of I.S7.S-
81, hilt with decidedly more than
ordinary disadvantages to con
tend with both at home and
abroad. But a great transformation
from depression to buoyancy, from inertia
to vigorous activity, from a condition of
all-embracing adversity to general pros
perity lias transpired, mainly by force of
the operation of confidence, of reliance
upon the bounties of providence under
the fostering care of an honest and wise
government in sympathy with the
masses and adverse to their oppressors.
The work has begun, as the democratic
party lias been mainly getting the use of
the long disused implements and under
a preliminary training, and 1ms given us
only reform in methods. The reform of
innovation and construction is yet to
come.
A not her thing which is a subject for
hearty congratulation is the national
debt, fhe condition of the national
treasury continues to improve under
democratic auspices. The monthly state-
monl for. April I, 1887), showed interest
hearing debt amounting to$l,2li(>,778,11■_’,
and interest due on it $ll,ll.>7,402, total
$1,2.2,7!!'Mil l. The statement for Sep-|
tember, .'50, Is.sii, shows principal $1,181.-
77>7..8I2, and interest $11.UTi.SI 1, total
$l,lil. , !,Gi)t,12M, This is a reduction of
$7P,0.‘!li,4bl since President Cleveland
took charge, eighteen months. The total
debt, including that on which interest
had ceased and thut without interest,
was on April 1, issj, $1,KS.->,S)88,:57(5, and
on September :!i), ISSI5, it had fallen to
$l,7-l'- , .. , i(l!l.!i.‘!2. This is a reduction of
$l-l!5,tils,444, and is the true reduetionnf
the debt, the other referring only to in
terest bearing debt.
in the state. The state revenue from saloon
licenses In the year omllng .July 4, 1888, was
| ,532,257. In the last year of the old low-license
system it was $190,000. The number of saloons
in ttie sta*e has diminished from 4144 In 1884 to
2878 a reduction of 1288. Of course this reduc
tion of nearly one-third in the number of saloons
means less drinking and less disorder and a
marked progress in sobriety and thrift. There is
no other state in the union, except Georgia, per
haps, that can make a better showing than this;
and tt is a striking evidence of the steady pro
gress of the state tn the cause of temperance
under democratic rule,
l-nlith nl Points,
The prohibitionist is the political bull with the
hay on his horns in New Jersey. He is worse to
the old politicians than a starved gadfly among
horses in the dog days and just as obstinate.
Gov. Pattison, of Pennsylvania, lias been offer
ed democratic nominations to congress in three
strongly republican districts, and doesn't know
whether to ^consider himself complimented or
not.
With six independent democratic candidates
for congress in the field, and with a colored bolt
from the only republican member of the present
delegation, the mixed state of politics in North
Carolina is apparent.
Wisconsin presents the anomaly of a man
nominated for congress who declines the honor
in a district where election was -assured. The
oddity of the affair is heightened by the fuct that
the man is a renulilican, who has served one
term. Verily, the millennium must be near at
hand.
President Eliot, in recent discussions on the
question of politics as a career, says young men
of culture are deterred from entering polttics,not
because they are disgusted witli what they see in
such a career, but because, having to earn their
own living for the most part, they readily see
they cannot afford to risk living on the pay which
goes with public otllce.
