A National Bankrupt Law.


 There seems to he determination on the part. of certain members of Congress to force through q per,nanent national bankrupt law. There are of course insolvent laws in the sev- eral states, such ss meet the ordinary demands of business, Twice within cur recollection, in seasons of extraordinary depression. nation al bankruptcy courts have been established but with the emergency tLe extraordinary re- medy has been abolished. It was in each case . measure such aa enabled the victim of tilose financial hurricanes which wreck even the most prudent, to avoid by the sacrifice of all his existing property the crushing effect of Q mountain of debt upon his future career. But no bankrupt law has yet been devised which did not also protect the fraudulent debtor in obtaining that full discharge from all liabilities which should only be granted to the honest lnsolvent '.,a''l ,,,y ii afs ask fs13 ,al The worst feasure of all, perhaps, was the expense of oankrupscy proceedings under the federal laws They swallowed up the small estates and decimated the large ones" And this, we claim, sisa necessity under any na- tionai system. The state has such superior facilities, such machinery already perfected for the work, that no federal court can possi. bly equal them in economy. In Connecticut, for example. we already have over an hundred probate courts, to whose jurisdiction over the settlement of all estates of deceased persons can be readily added jurisdiction of, insolyent N.FaH.n sa---1 FA.f f-Al estates, There are also the Superior courts of eight counties to which appeal can be taken. The United States, on the other hand. has no existing judicial machinery to which bank ruptcy. business can be attached, .,r It must create numerous small offices, to be paid at great expense either from the estates adminis- tered, or from the, natiopal treasury. It has but single court of appeal for tho whole State. Under such circumstances. it is inn possible to devise any inexpensive scheme of national bankruptcy. ...' 1ie .g si'r
 There arises the further consideration whether facilities for wiping out obligations are desirable permanent feature for either 6 state or 8 national code of laws We greatly doubt it. There may be times when business men are nearly all embarrassed when inr solvency is . misfortune and not . fault, At such times full discharges may be wisely al- lowed unfortunate debtors. Ia ordinary times we doubt either the justice or the expediency of legislation offering such facilities i to fraud or imnr~-ia~.ve, .r 4fiA.s-l.4 .s--s3 2 ]
