Because of lack of funds the Secretary of the Interior has furloughed without pay the following special agents of the land of- fice: Alfred R. Bone, George Carmichael, Wm. C. Crawley, Frederick 8. Goodrich, W. F. McCarron, Thomas J. Matthews, J. O'Brien, Terrence E. Ryan, W. F. Sherman and John 8. Stidger. These agents were engaged in field duty and re- ceived $1,200 per annum in addition to $8 per day for expenses. The depleted funds for this work will re- quire a further reduction in the near fu- ture. eS The Basis of Credit. From Hardware. A man’s past record, with but few excep- tions, should determine the question of his eligibility for credit in the future. If he has been slow pay in the past he will prob- ably be slow pay in his next purchases; if he has been prompt and satisfactory he ll likely be the same again. As an in- stance I might mention a case which re- cently came under my notice. A trader who had gradually got to be slow and un- satisfactory was compelled to assign. His failure was not due to any misfortune, such as fire or flood, but seemed the natur- al consequence of his incompetence and lack of management. A wholesale house which had been supplying him lost heavily, but compromised, and as he continued they still sold him, but on thirty days’ time. For a while he promptly attended to his payments, but after a time he got slower and slower, and as he was a liberal buyer and his purchases were allowed to accu- mulate he soon owed a bill far larger than his means would warrant. As this dragged along for some years a compro- mise was granted upon this indebtedness also. Still he clung to his old creditor, ana again ordered goods, promising to send the money within thirty days. But his past record was too much even for so lenient a creditor. He was told plainly that he would get no more on credit, and that if he ordered anything cash must ac- company the order in every case. Now, a man of this stamp is a positive detriment to a man who pays his bills. After thus being refused credit by the old house he will try and get it elsewhere, and no doubt will succeed. But if his record is known it should be @ final answer to the question |. of granting him credit.
