BANKRUPT Law .

We observe Nat our Delegate in Con-

resolution intoihe House of Representa-
tives, which was adopted, requiring the
Committee on the Judiciary, to inquire
and report whether the District Courts Of
the Territoryha had jurisdiction over cases
in Bankruptcy, and if not, 10 bring in q
bill exten9ihgto them such jurisdiction.

asmuch as many ofonr citizens have al.
ready been at considerable expense ahd
trouble without certainty Of having pro.

give our approbation 70 the provisions Of
the Bankrupt Law, yei we think it's far
better that the proc lings already com
menced should Be- legalized, than that
room should be lcftsfor endless litigation
hereafter.
