The Cain|iai|!n. Nobody seems to be worrying much over the campaign in this Slate, and jet it is worth remember ing that an election will be held on the fifth of November. The disor ganized and dismal condition of the State Democracy takes the inter est out of the campaign, and a ma jority of the voters would probably have difficulty in telling, otf-haud, what officers are to be elected. For the information of all interest ed in public affairs it may be said that a State Treasurer and seven Judges of the newly created Superior Court are to be elected, and that each voter can vote for cue person Treasurer, and sis persons for Judges. Each party- ,v. .bus nominated six men for the office of Juu w I ue is a square one between Republicanism and Democracy, and is easily settled on partisan lines. There are no complications, no side issues, but simply the old familiar contest be tween two parties whose policies nnd histories are familiar. No one can make any mistake this year. The Week. Dun's Review. The full statement of about 2.800 commercial failures for the third quarter of 1895 will he published next week, and will show liabilities of about $30,000,000 of which about $11,000,000 have been of manufac turing, and $17,000,000 of trading concerns. In the same quarter of last year the failures were 2,808, and the liabilities $29 411,196, of which 9 12,331,892 were of manufacturing, and $15,181,230 of trading concern?, while in the third quarter of 1893 the commercial failures wore 4,015 with liabilities of $82,469,821. In the three quarters of 1895 the commer cial failures have been about 9,400, with liabilities of about $118,000,000 against $131,144,502 last year, and $251,334,265 in 1893. The liabilities in manufacturing failures this year have been about $51,000.000, against $53,868,148 last year, and in trading about $03,000,000, against $06,527,- 208 last year. The week's reports are highly en couraging as to monetary matters, although exports of gold still con tinue, and also as to the cotton man ufacture, but not as satisfactory re garding iron, woolen, leather or silk manufactures. The volum* of busi ness represented by railroad returns for September thus far is 3 8 per cent, larger than last year, but 11.8 per cent, smaller than in 1892. The exchanges through all the principal clearing hou«es have been 21 4 per cent, smaller than 1892. It is the future, rather than tlie past, upon which men are trying to base busi ness calculations, and at present the outlook as to future btisinea is nparlv as encouraging as it was a week aoo The one drawback is that while im ports of merchandise continue about. 30 per cent, larger than last year, the exports of cotton, the main re liance at this season for debt pa\ iner are likely to be ma'eviallv restricted by the great advance in price. The speculation iu cotton hasjift ed the price five eighths during the past week, and quotations here are BO much higher than nt Liverpool that free exports cannot be expected. It seems no longer possible to hope for a good crop, and Neill Bros. have issued a circular predicting a yield of only seven million bales. TUe accounts of injury and loss grow more dismal each week, and while (bey may be somewhat exaggerated, the general outlook is decidedly un - favorable. But Tor llio cxirnoriHuary Hiipplica carried over from last year, the manufacturer here and abroad would be in trouble. B and this affront to the moral sense nd enlightened progress of Texas averteu ' " So much so & "'ood, but the Govern or reckoned witliou. ""t his host, 01 rather without his hostess. While the ink was hardly dry on his pri, Initiation Mrs. Culberson was on her %vay to Texas post haste, stopping long enough in Chicago, however, to express herself very forcibly in favor of the prize light. Among other things she said: "I have met a nn.ub«-r of promi nent business men from Texas this sum ner an on, and here the Governor is trying to stop something the popular sentiment is in favor o( having. It's ail foolish ness, uul I've tohl him so. I said: 'V°u are elected to carry out the will of the people anil you are not doing it at all when you oppose what they want.' " Here's a how de do ! Here's a change in the home department! Truly, the Texas Legislature will be the cynosure of all eyes to-day*. Who will win ? The Governor and a stringent prize tight law or the Governess and a free light and no tavor iu Texas ? It is an interesting situation, and suggests much as to what we may expect when "lovely woman stoops to politics and pugi list! LIU HIKING'S WORK. Four lIorNPN Hilled «t the Fair Gronuils Yt'Mterilay Afternoon A terrible thunder, lightning and rain 6torm, which resulted in the death of four horses on the fair grounds Thursday afternoon, passed over that section soon after one o'- clock. It came up very suddenly, and almost before the vast throng of people assembled on the grounds, were aware of itsaj-prraeh it was up on them. The grand stand was near ly filled with people ready to listen to the speech of Chas. Emory Smith and tlie storm coming from the west beat into their faces and there was such a rush for the upper seats that it was almost a miracle that no one was irjured. A goo! many people were sitting in wagons about the grounds, and soon after the storm broke there was a vivid flash of light ning, and terrible crash, an 1 at least a half a dozen horses at the lower end of the grounds fell to the ground. Three of these do*n near the new buildings never moved again, being instantly killed, and another stand ing near a tree up near the watering trough below the grand stand was also killed, the others l>cing only stunr ed. Two of the horses killed belonged to Mr. J. C. Pet.tes, of Orwell, one to Frank Bowan, of South Towanda and the other to a Mr. Arnold, of Windham. Mr. and Mrs. Bowman were silling in their wagon at the time, but were not injured by the shock. The most remarkable thing about it is that there is not a mark on the animals, and the only mark anywhere about them was a small hole in the ground, looking as though the electric fluid had entered.—To wanda Rep.

It was understood that the old soldiers would meet in the court house, Monday, but because of the cold weather and no lire in Un building they were compelled to look up other quarters. Tais was not a very warm reception to the old soldiers, so far as those in charge ot the courthouse, was concerned and the soldiers and citizens felt it and did not hesitate to express thei. feelings of the matter. INDIANA, Sept. 25: —Last evening David Hughes, formerly of Butler county, after an unexplained absence of 30 years, joined his family of wile, daughter and son, who have resided here about eight years. The renuion was most joyous. Hughes was wounded during the war and came home an I married Miss M. P. Heed, of Kittanning. In 186-1 he returned to the army and in 1805 was honorably discharged. In stead of returning home Hughes burried himself in the pineries of Wisconsin. llis wife mourned him as d'.ad, Hughes has never Been his son, now thirty years of age. Hughes has accumulated consider able wealth and says he is too happy with his family to discuss the par ticulars of his long absence aud con tinued silence.

The election tlii# year falls on Nov sth, and it will therefore be seen thut delinquent tax paytrs must settle with the col lector within the next two days or be debarred from voting. '1 his it an important matter, aad shoull be kept in mind by voters. William J. Lawrence the peopled candidate for Prothonotary, is going to receive a vote that will be surpris ing to his friends. Mr. Lawrence is the kind of a roan the peopln want for Prothonotary, judging from the expressions that have been heard with respect to his good qualities as a citizen and as a candidate. He is going to receive a much larger vote than any person has an idea of, and it will be large enough to insure hit triumphant election. Free 1 To Niagara J?alls and R-uturn.
