Abolition OF Laws for the Col
lection of Debts.

We find the annexed article on The pro-
posed abolition of the law for enforcing the
payment of debts, in the financial depart
ment of the New York independent. The
subject is one that is beginning to attract
a good deal of attention, and the more it
is agltated the more favorably it will be
regarded by the public. Credit is now too
cheap, and in this respect measures of re-
form should be adopted. For this there
is a growing necessity, and there is no
plan that will meet the case more fully
and speedily than that proposed:
Abolish all laws for the collection of
debts, and leave creditors to their own
powers of discriminating character when
given credit. This is the point to which
our growing civilization tends, and to which
practical wisdom and philosophy point.
We have long since abolished the inhuman
laws which used to imprison debtors, in
which abolsion we took the lead of old
Europe. We have to lead the way in
more important reform. A great proper
ton of the bad debts made arise from the
rushing OF business on imprudent BUYERS
extending credits, and in relying on the
law for enforcing payment. When without
remedy at law, ;he seller of goods would
look exclusively on Observation-Disclosures
character-whereve credit was given:and
credits would be more proportioned to the
known means of the debtor, both as regards
amount and time.
The expenses attending the collection of
debts are very great, and absorb large
proportion of the profit. In cases of fail
ures among the dealers, their debtors are,
as is well known, apt to take advantage,
and delay, if not altogether refuse, payment
of their debts. The law is resorted to by
them for evasion. The moral effect of this
proposed abolition of the law TO compel paw
ment of debts, which it does so imperfectly
ana at SO great IN expense of money and
time, would be great. 1t would be felt by
all traders, and to obtain any credit, a rem
utation for character must first be obtained,
and constantly maintained. 1t would also
be felt by the seller that it would not an
swcr to tempt buyers to buy TOO much.-
The seller would be more cautious. BE
sides, cash transactions would increase.
and speculative dealings diminish
The evasion of the present laws for the
collection of debts is very easy to the dis
honest man, aided by professional advice;
and numerous instances abound of men
having become rich by running largely in
debt, putting their property so acquired out
Of reach, and setting all laws at defiance.
Rich men abound, whose property is all
settled on their wives, or held in trust for
them by others, which, in the absence of a
bankrupt law, cannot be reached.
Indeed, If no law existed to enforce pay
ment of debts, men would look into the
moral habits of their debtors before trust
ing, and not atterward. They would not
be so ready to seduce, by illicit means, any
set of men to make purchases. Men SO
facile of character as to he led are never
reliable.

Ireland and France.

The world knows that bond of BROTH

and their brothers of France By the
arms of the latter the former fondlv hope
for redemption from British rule. And it
seems to be generally conceded that the
Gallo, Celt is quite willing to have dash
at the Saxon. More than that, all parties
are beginnsng to discuss the subject, par
ticularly the Catholic cIergy-to discuss,
in France, the claims which the Irish have
on the Gallie Cock and to talk of how
French soldiers would oe received as broth

Disc Of the Last Half
Century,.

There has been no period since the com
mencement of the world in which so many
Important discoveries, tending to the ben
nefit of mankind were made as in the last
half century. Some of the most wonder
full results of human intellect have been
witnessed in the last fifty years. Some of
the grandest conceptions Of genius have
been perfected. 1t is remarkable how the
mind Of the world has run into scientific
investigation, and what achievements it has
effected in that period. Before the wear
1900, there was not a single steamboat in
existence, and the application of steam to
machinery was unknown. Fulton launch
ed the first steamboat in 1907. Now
there are three thousand steamboats, ira
versing the waters of America, and the
time saved in travel is equal to seventy
per cent. The rivers of every country
in the world, nearly, are traversed by
steamboats,.
In 1900, there WAS not single railroad
in the world. In the United States alone
there are now S,797 miles of railroad, cost
ing S236,000,000 to build, and about o.
900 in England and America. The loco
motive will travel, in rs many hours dis
tance which in 1900 required as many
weeks to accomplish In 1900, it took
three weeks to convey intelligence between
Philadelphia and New Orleans; now it can
be accomplished in minutes, through the
electric telegraph, which only had its be-
ginning in 1913. Voltaism was discover
ed in 1900, the electro magnet in 1921.
Electrotyping was discovered only a few
years ago.
Hoes printing press, capable Of printing
ten thousand copies an hour, is very re-
cent discovery. Gas-light was unknown
in 1900; now nearly every city and town
of any pretense is lighted with it, and we
have the announcement of a still greater
discovery, by which light, heat, and motive
power may be produced from water, with
outscarcely any cost. Daguerre communi-
Gated to the world hisbeautiful invention in
1889. Gun-cotton and chloroform are
discoveries of but few years old. hstro-
nomy has added number Of new planets
to the solar system.
Agricultural chemistry has enlarged the
domain of knowledge in that branch OF
scientific research, and mechanics have in
creased the facilities for production, and
the means of accomplishing an amount of
labor which far transcend the ability OF
united effort to accomplish. What will
the next half centu ~ accomplish? We
may look for still Tgrss. rs ..<->discoveries; for
the intellect of imam is awake, exploring
every mine of knowledge. and searching
for useful information in every department
of art and industry.-Phitadelrh'a A'd-

KARL RIrTER.-Another of tho distin-
guished scholars Of Germany has passed
away from the world. Karl Ritter, the
greatest geographer of his day, died at
Berlin on the 2Sth Of September last, in
the eighty first year of his age. He was
born at Quedlinburg on the 7th ofAugust,
1879, and was only ten years the
Junior of his eminent friend, Humboldt
His life like that OF Humboldt, had been
devoted to travel and study, and like him
he had contributed largely to the extension
Of the domain of science In 1917 he
published his great work. entitled, "Geo,
graphy, in its relations to the Nature and
History of Man" which WAS compre-
hensive and philosophical survey of the
influences Of the earth upon the condition
OF man and society and established his
fame at once as a leading authority in that
department knowledge Itwas followed
year later, by his Europe: A Geopra-
pho, Historic, Statistical Picture" which
sustained and even added to his already
high reputation. Ritter was regarded as
the founder Of what may be termed the
Science OF comparative Geography, and
was held in universal esteem by the learn
ed men OF the world, as we'll as of his own
country. Humboldt gladly acknowledged
his services, and was proud to reckon him
self among the number of his friends.

ORIcIS OF PAPER MONEY, and h0C it
came INTO use.-lhe Count de Tendlla,
whilst beseiged 10y the Moors in the fortress
of Alhambra, WAS destitute of gold and sill
yer wherewith to pay his soldiers, who be-
gan to murmur, as they had not the means
Of purchasing the necessares of life from
the people Of the town. = In this diem
ma says the historian, what does this
most sagacious commander lie takes a
number Of little morscls of paper, on
which he inscribed various sums, large and
small, and signs them with his own hand
and name. These did he give to the sol
diery in earnest Of their pay. How, you
will say are soldiers to be paid with little
scraps Of paperj Even so, and we'll paid
too, as will presently make manifest; for
the good Court issued proclamation or
dering the inhabitants to take these morscls
ofpaper for the full amount thereon sub
scribed, promising To redeem them at a
future day in gold and silver. Thus by
subtitle aud most miraculous alchemy did
this cavalier turn worthless paper into
precious gold AMI silver, and his late i'm
poyerished army abound in money" The
historian adds: The Count dc Tendilla
redeemed his promise ike a royal knight,
and this miracle, as 1t appeared in the ewes
OF Agapda, i the first instance on record
of paper money, which has since spread
throughout the civilized world The most
unbouuded opu!ence.'

The midshipman then took leave and
hastened up the Battery, The lieutenant
then returned to the group and taking
aside the masters mate, whom he knew,
laid briefly before him his project. The
old tar entered into it with all zeal. To

They were not long in discovering such a
