doomed, after few years experience, TO dis
NAL failure" If this is the result OF bank
ruptcy legislation in Great Britain, with Its
homogeneous population, what are we to ex-
| pect here, where the circumstances OF life vary
| all the way from the agriculturist OF the Far
West to the dense and metropolitan conditions
of New York ?
The utmost that the most sanguine legislator
can hope to accomplish Is to PROFOUND some
scheme which, while meeting the wants of the
one, shall not be wholly unsuited to the other
No bill drawn in the interest of either section
has a chance of success. The rival schemes
now under consideration are the embodiment
of two principles entirely opposite. The
Lowell bill is almost wholly @unOflicial" in its
provisions, while the Senate draft is the most
official measure ever suggested. The first
leaves all important matters to be decided by
majority of the creditors; the Senate bill
places everything in the discretion of the
Court. The Lowell bill is drawn on the lines
of t1e English Act of 1869. 1t proposes the
same machinery. The debtors estate is to be
liquidated by an assignee who is to act under
the advice of % committee of direction. Both
the assignee and the committee are under the
inspection of a supervisor, who, in his turn, is
amcnable to the Attorney General of the
United States. The jurisdiction of the Court
is reduced to little more than an arbltrative
power to he called in when the creditors fail to
agree, and this modified control is to be eXer-
cIsed by registers or commissioners in bank
ruptcy, not by judges whose position commands
respect. BY certain section of the CONNER
cial public Of New York this bill has been re-
ceiyed with chorus of approval. 1t is, say its
supporters, so good that the Senate bill should
be summarily rejected in its favor. The Ju
dietary Committee of the Senate, however,
after months of correspondence with lawyers,
bankers and merchants all over the country, has
passed over this elaborate draft and adopted a
brief and simple bill of their own. Perhaps
they may be possessed of facts and figures
which prove the impOssibilty Of adapting the
Lowell system to the Western States.
1t is stated with some confidence that
the Judiciary Committee of the House Is
preparing third bill which is to be
compromise between the Lowell and the
Senate bills. We by no means regard these
differences of opinion as an evil. AT the pres
ent time both the creditor and debtor sides of
the question are ably represented. But it is
important that the matter should be settled
during period of prosperity, and not left until
some future financial reaction, when ameasure
entirely in the interest Of the debtor is sure to
be passed.

the canals and prisons is the work OF the man
who occupied the Executive chair from JAN
uary |, 1875, until January l, 1871 Our
readers are aware that THE TRIBUNE has not
been chary in its Acknowledgements of MIR.
Tdens services as canal reformer Not
content to follow our example and give him
his due, The Times is preposterous enough to
give him the Republican party's due. For the
canal and prison amendments owed their in
ception, progress and adoption to the Repub-
lican party.
The public is aware that Mr.. Tildcn cannot
hope to win the nomination from his party
this flll on his record as it is. The ArTts and
The Times, in their desperate attempt to evolve
a brilliant "annex" for that record out of
their own inner consciousness, merely succeed
in emphasizing that unpleasant fact.

THE RIVAL B.fNKRCP1CY ELLIS.

The bankruptcy question has passed into .
new stage. The opposition of which we re-
Gently spoke has for the moment subsidized and
is succeeded 10y violent partisanship in favor
of one or other of the two proposed bills. Both
parties state their case as if there were nothing
to be said on the other side, and seem bent on
carrying their fayorite scheme even at the risk
of preventing all legislation on the subject.
The arguments used and some of the docu-
mcnts issued display a very limited knowledge
Of the subject. They are evidently addressed
by those who know little to those who know
less. If we had not the experience of Great
Britain before us we might hope to see a law in
operation which would give general satisfac-
ton. But Mr.. Chamberlain, the President of
the Board of Trade, when Introducing his
Bankruptcy bill into the House of Commons
last year, admitted that the history of past at
tempts to deal with the subject was such as to
depress anything like exaggerated eXpccta-
tions. A" 1t was IA history of continual, he mi ght
say repeated, changes involving much vacilla-
:" tion on the part of Parliament, following the
current of public opinion, each in turn the
subject OF great anticipation, and each

The Presidential Count bill passed the Senate
yesterday without amendment. This is the
measure prepared by Senator Edmunds shortly
after the Electoral Commission, which the
Democrats fought bitterly so long as they had
a majority in Congress and wished to retain
the power to count the next Electoral vote In
their own way if it should be close enough to
take advantage of. There was little Op-
position yesterday. which fairly illustrates the
peaceful temper Of the present Senate.

The action of the clergyman who has ac-
ccptcd call to the pulpit of the baptist
Church in East New York, L. l., on the con-
dition that he shall not be PAID any salary,
will be an encouraging sign to those discouraged
persons who have complained from time to
time that it is certainly no great hardship 10
preach Christ cruciied in fine church, with
$4,000 a year and possibly a parsonage
thrown in. 1t may be remarked that, although
this preacher is employed in the Custom
House, his conduct cannot be regarded as con-
flicting with Civil Service regulations touch
ing the right of Government employe to
hold any other official position, for 1t was an

Grounds and give the season an eXceileho
start. There is no sport III which college lheH
engage that has more advantages lor Iheih
than baseball. 1t is exciting and health
full, and interferes less with study than boating
or football. Playing with the professional
teams stimulates the college mines TO strive
harder than if they contested only among them
selves and the presence Of the students on the
grounds does away with some OF the objec-
tionable features of the situation when the
games are between clubs that have money

A correspondent wishes for some explanation of
the astonishing attitude of The World newspaper to-
ward Minister Lowell. There are many things
about that silly journal which are beyond any
rational explanation. Still we feel tolcrably safe
in saving that at present it is endeavoring to work
up boom in favor of sending O'DonOyan Rossa
as American Minister to the Court of st. James.
And now the "reguar' Democrats in the Legis-
lature are beginning denounce Speaker Pattel
as irregular As Mr.. Patterson had previously be en-
denounced by Tammany, and still rests under their
displeasure, his present position, with brickbais

The bill providing for a State Board of

as the Baker bill, was ordered to third read

affairs have just now been finally wound up
The reasons for the lack Of success are said
to be inadequate custom and bad manage
nent-two elements which enter largely into
almost every business disaster. Some of the
managers of this store assert that competition
is so keen in NewYork and the margin of
profits so small that no project of this kind
can succeed here We do not agree with this
view. Cooperation succeeds admirably in Lon
don, and there are more sharp bargains driven
there and more disputes over every penny
