The Greatest Failure.

We regret to criticise the usually accurate Dun’s Review, but from its summary of failures for the first half of 1895 there is a great and unaccountable omission. It is only one failure, to be sure, and Dun has collected the evidence of 6.657 others. Yet the liabilities of the 6,657 were only $88,839.944, while those of the one were $336,000,000. We refer to the Cleveland administration, which by falsifying its books, endeavoring to deceive its creditors, and, in part, temporarily suspending payments, conceded in bankruptcy on July 1. The assets are a fishing-rod and a large collection of first personal pronouns.”—N. Y. Press. The Missouri and lowa Democrats occupy opposite positions on the silver problem. Now the question is, how will they vote in 1896?
