OBITUARY.
Horace Binney, Jr., Esq.

Horace Btnney, Jr., Esq.
This community has sustained by the hand of
death loss of more than usual severity, in the
person of Horace Binney Jr., Esq, who died
last evening at his residence on Sixth street,
below Walnut, after a severe illness of only two
weeks duration, brought on paralytic
stroke. The deceased was the son of
Horace Binney Sr., whose name has been inti-
mately associated with the history of Philadel-
phia from the opening of the century. Mr..
Binney, ST., was born in this city in the year
$780, and is now in his ninety-first year. He
long since retired from public life after having
held for years the position of one of the most
eminent jurists of the country, serving also as
director OF the old United States Bank, mem
Der of the State Legislature, and a Representa-
tive In Congress, and having been one of the
first and foremost in the ranks of that courage
GUS band OF men who strove against the accursed
institution of slavery in the days when it re-
quired more than an ordinary share of
courage and humanity to assail it. And
now, at the venerable age of ninety
years, he is called upon to follow to
the grave a son who had himself almost
attained the allotted threescore years and ten,
and whose long public and private career has
cast no reproach upon the honorable name
which was not the least of his inheritances
Horace Binney, Jr., was born in this city in
the year 1S06 and had therefore completed his
sixty-frst year at the time of his death. After
receiving thorough preparatory education, he
entered Yale College in 1924, and graduated in
1923 with the highest honors. The eminent sue
cess already achieved by his father at the bar
naturally fixed his choice upon the same calling,
and Immediately after leaving college the de.
ceased became a law student in the Office of his
father. On being admitted to the bar he soon
attained an enviable position, his practice being
confined for the most part to the consultations
Of the Office, but hia kaoWleage Of the most in

interests.

The STATE HISTORIAN may be very import
ant and useful officer, but we are not aware
of the fact, and we are disposed to consider
him decidedly more ornamental than useful.
The results of his labors have never come
under our observation in such a way as to in
duce the opinion that he might not be dis
pensed with altogether without serious detri-
ment to the public interests, and we are very
confident that hisservices are not worth the sum
of $500 in the way of salary and expenses, the
expediency of paying which is now being con-
sidered by the Legislature. A bill making
this appropriation was considered in the
State House of Representatives yester-
day and was laid over. The best
thing that the House can do is to lay it over
for good, or else to cut it down to something
like reasonable proportions. The people have
to pay too much now for the support of greedy
and useless officers, and such a sum as this to
be paid out of the Treasury for the benefit of
the State Historian is perfectly needless
piece of extravaganza that deserves prompt
condemnation. If the Office of State Histo-
rian was to be abolished altogether, we would
probably manage to get along very comforta-
bly,, however important it may be to have our
annals written.

MANY of the old-fashioned ideas about
usury have been materially modified by the
requirements of modern business transactions,
and money is now considered in mercantile
circles to be commodity that is worth Just
what it will bring, and that the holder is en-
titled to dispose of on the most advantageous
terms that he can obtain. The six per cent.
rate of interest authorized by law in Penn
sylvania has placed it at decided disadvan-
tage in competition with neigbboring States
where the rate is higher. The seven per cent
rate in New York has drawn an immense amount
Of capital away from us, and modification
of our usury laws, to place us on an equality
with our neighbors in this respect, has long
been demanded. Therefore the bill intro
duced in the State Senate yesterday by Mr.
White, providing that the legal rate of in
terest shall be seven per cent, and legalizing
special contracts not exceeding ten per cent,
will meet with the general approval of the
mercantile portion of the community. Indeed
there is no good reason why special contracts
for any amount should not be permitted by
law. Practically such limitation will be q
dead letter, for men who need money will
have no hesitation in paying for it according
to their necessity, and those who have money
to lend will take what they can get for it in
spite of the law. The only effect of such a
restriction is to make it more difficult to bor-
row where the legal rate is not of sufficient
induoement to the capitalist, and it is him
drance rather than protection to mercantile
interests

THE BILL authorizing the Thirteenth and
Fifteenth Streets Passenger Railway to lay a
track on Locust street was opposed in the
State Senate yesterday by Mr.. Nagle, for the
reason, among others, that ''the company
had no claims upon the Legislature" What
does this mean2 Did the company fall short
in the matter Of 'divvy," that,:.in the opinion
Of Nagle, it had no claims. upon the Legisla-
ture2 We can understand Nagle's objection
in no other light than this, for if the Thir-
teenth and Fifteenth Streets Company asked
for an extension of this franchise in order to
accommodate the public in matter the pro-
priety OF which is generally admitted, there
oughtto be no necessity for them to put forward
any other claims upon the consideration of
the Legislature. Objections to the laying of
this track from the residents on Locust street
asd the directors Of tae Academy Of Agaic,

The LEATHER MANUFACTURERS should enter
an energetic protest against the bill intro
duced in the State Senate yesterday by Mr..
Connell, to repeal so much of the law autho-
rizing the appointment of a leather inspector
of Philadelphia as requires the appointee to
have served seven years apprenticeship, un-
less the same bill provides that some definite
term, as five years for instance, shall be
served. Very few apprentices at the present
day are required to pass seven years in learn
ing a trade, and these would be no objection
to amending the existing law with regard to
the appointment of leather inspector so as
to make it conform to the customs of the
times. To do away with this very just
and necessary safeguard altogether, how
ever, would to place the Office of Leather In
spector in the hands of some professional
politician, and this we have very little hesita-
tion in believing is the sole object of the bill
presented by Mr.. Connell. Every man in
the leather business is interested in having a
competent Inspector, and in keeping the Office
entirely free from the contamination of poll
tics. There are too many politicians already
in important and responsible positions of
this kind, and the public as well as individual
and trade interests demand that the sphere
of action of this very Objectionable class of
individuals should be restricted rather than
enlarged.
