OBITUARY..

Mrs. Hannah J. Latimer was born April
5th, 1922, in Thorn township, Perry ooun-
ty, Ohio. She was married TO Mr.. James
H. Latimer, Jan. 11th, 1s49. Her hus.
band preceded her to the spirit world some
16 years. This happy union resulted in
the birth of six sons, FIVE of whom mourn
her loss.
She united at an early age with the M.
E. Church. She has been . member Of the
reformed church for q number of years, du-
ring which time she lived An exemplary
Christian life. She has truly been . pa
tient sufferer for about twenty years, during
which time she was often prostrated nigh
unto death. Yet she trusted in her low
ing Savior who has ever enabled her to
bear her suferings in patience. During
her last illness she was calm and composed,
and ready to be offered up, confident of the
rest that would remain hereafter. She was
released from her suffering on the morning
Of the 10th of July, when she calmly fell
asleep in Jesus, who truly made her dying
bed feel soft as downy pillows are. Her
age was 81 years, 8 months and days. Her
funeral services took place July 18th, at
st. Paul's church. Remarks BY her Pastor
were based ON 2 cor. 5: l. A large con-
course of relatives and friends followed her
to her last resting place. M. L.

PLAIN UoRDs FOR Young roTlRs

Nearly one million of young men will vote
next year for the first time at Presidential
election Many of them have east or Will
cast their first vote this year. II they are di-
vidcd in number rs the adult and voting
population is now divided, about 500, 600 of
them are of Democratic parcutagc or asso-
Citations.
What are these young men going to do ?
In the State of New-York they may have a
perceptlblc influence on the result. About
90, 600 or 10000 young men will cast their
first Presidential vote next year, in this State
alone. Proud and hopeful young men do not
want to tie themselves To Il dsgTaccd and
defeated party. at the outset. The thought
of such a mistake will linger with them long.
With what pride and joy the men who voted
first for Fremont mention the fact. They
were at the birth Of the great parry which
has ruled the country for twenty years and
has changed the history of the world. Does
anybody ever mention with pleasure that he

it be granted that Buchanan was an honest
man, who gave no willing or intentional aid
10 the rebellion which aftcrward dcugcd the

4 NEW B4NKREPT Lar.

Ii j. n little more than one year since the
National Bankrupt Law ceased to exist. and
there has been a fair opportunity 90 test the
chances OF creditors under forty bankrupt
laws instead of one. 1t would not Toe correct
to s1y that there i. universal feeling arts
Ing from this experience in favor of a new
National law, but it is unqucstionab.y true
that a strong sentiment is making itself felt
in that direction. The talk, which are re-
ported elsewhere with various members OF
the l,gl profession and merchants SNOW
how wide this tendency is. though there
is at the same time opposition to
q National law on the part of some
prominent merchants, with much diversity of
view among its advocates as To what II
should contain. Some feel That the cd Bank
rupi Act exceeded the limitations OF the Con-
,titution. and that if there Is q new law is adj
mini~hation should be- left 10 the several
States. The majority seem TO believe that
the execution of the old system was unncccs-
sinly expensive, and that III any fresh lcgis-
lation more care should be taken TO see that
proper share of the assets gets past the
officials and reaches the creditors. No one
of the business and professional men whose
utteIanccs arc reported elsewhere has
hearty word to say in favor of the existing
State law, under which so many abuses arise.
But il should not be overlooked that two or
three of our bcst-knOwn merchants manifest
Indifference on the whole subject, and make
the homely suggestion in substance, that hon
est men will pay their debts if they can.
under any law. and that tn" best of laws can
hardly save the creditors of dishonest man
from being cheated.
The repeal of the old Act was undoubtedly
in obedience to public sentiment. 1t Is
great gain in one respect, fOr If II Nati0na.
system Is essential, here is the opportunity to
begin afresh The errors of the old Act and
of the State law, of which we have had
years experience, can be avoided, and the
desirable features of the long established
English s-stcm can be adopted. If there is To
be a new law at all, it should be well nigh
