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. I A new international trouble hsi Oru Tennessee eoteuiporarie.- are rather I the northwest. A young man rough on General Sherman in regard to lie Jell'. Mavis matter. The Knoxville tournal savs that Mr. Davis denounced I)H)IO< lilt V AM) IJtIM STItV. 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.
