general purposes. We believe there have
been but two general bankrupt laws in exist
ence for 50 years. The one enacted in IS4I,
and the other that was lately repealed. There
are many objections to a permanent law of
bankruptcy, the chief Of which is its availa-
bility for purposes Of fraud. Corruption in
its most odious forms instinctively laslen to
estates that pass through bankruptcy and all
usually rot in cold obstruction, or, in other
words, never get through. The debtor is en-
titled to his discharge when his surrender is
fully made and no question remains in which
he is concerned touching the ultimate disro-
s.ton Of the estate. Whether any portion Of
breaches his creditors, or all is spoliated in
the transition can not effect his light to a dis
charge. Such right can only be affected by
accusations Of fraud.
In Louisiana the predecessor Of Billings,
who played so conspicuous political part in
recent history constituted a partnership Of
himself and a carpet-bag knight named Nor
ton, who appropriated all bankruptcies which
were passed into the hands Of the latter as
public administrators. But the spolia,ion is
not always thus done by wholesale, not all
estates pass into the hands Of a single adj
ministrator, nor without some forms Of surety,
however unreal. Nor is any bankrupt his
tory to be found in the past Of such criminal
proAigacy as that Of carpet.bag days.
There is no time at which a universal
bankrupt law is not wanted. Every year
there are many failures, causes are constantly
occurring and recurring that precipitate the
most cautious and honest merchants upon
misfortune, and as these untoward commercial
events occur, there should be judicial process
awaiting the honest debtor, by which he may
pass into other hands the trusts that are no
longer rghtfully his. Such course is designed
to open for him without delay the world of
commercial adventure anew.
The operation Of State bankrupt laws is
far less salutary because not general. Whether
the Texas, or Louisiana, debtor will be dis
charged from the debt due the New York
creditor or not will depend upon manufactures,
and proceedings at the meeting Of creditors
which are quasi judicial, and not upon judicial
proceedings. And what the operation Of the
discharge may be will depend a1erward upon
the interpretations Of local courts. That Con-
gress may construct a general bankrupt law,
provisioned with a view to permanence and
specially guarding against those dangers
which attach to the ultimate liquidation Of es-
tates, there should be no doubt There is no
limit to the forms by which the law may
guard against insecurity.

Love


Never be ashamed OF having loved any one.
II, Perchance, you have hated, then blush for
it, but not for love. 1t does not matter at all
whether the person on whom your affections
fix themselves reciprocale the sentiment,
Where there is no shame in loving, in itself,
the fact of having given love without reward
can bring none with it, You have only
bestowed gift, more priceless than any jewel
can be, upon one who did not thank you.
Since there is sorrow to ones self in it, it is
best to struggle with the heart and keep it
until ask ed ior but il it goes irrevocably forth
despite all effort, no need to feel ike a guilty
thing and long to hide it from your very self
Providence gave you that great love, and
believe that somehow it will mingle with the
lie OF the one it hovers over, and shed per-
tune and lend a sweetness TO it, though it
never has been spoken.
Many woman's life has shriveled away
under the weight Of disappointed love"
merely because her shame in it was great
The false sentiment that teaches her to scorn
a natural feeling has worn her beauty away,
and robbed her Of all hope in the presence 10
the future. | think it would be better il even
woman dared to say, ~ loved him, but he
did not love me, with the same sweet sadness
with which, when years have elded away,
she can utter the words, 81 loved him, and he
died"

If the next Congress is to be exclusively a
political session, that is to say, il members
are to recompense the country with 5000
worth Of political talk each, served in the
Congressional Record, we need not expect
any public business at their hands. Among
measures loudly called for by all classes of
people is a general bankrupt law. Much en-
baHassment exists for want of it in all parts
of the country. 1t is an error to suppose that
merchants can make the usual cessio bonorum,

The LabOr Oueston..MIIs and Operatiyes

The Labor Queston--MiIls and Operatives,
MANCHESTER, October I2.-The sub-com-
mittee of the United States Senate committee
on education and labor, met to-day. Thomas
Cinimere, agent, testified that his mills used
10000 bales Of cotton yearly, and turned out
$4,000, 5000 to 90, ooo, 600 yards of cloth at a
cost of between SIS 600, 300 and $50, 600, 600.
The cost Of labor was above 80 per cent. of
the total cost on the goods, or about Sill, 500,
600. The amount OF capital employed in the
plans, building, ETC., was about equal to
yearly production. American operatives num-
Der about one-iifth Of those employed. They
are the best operatives. They are not dscon.
tended in Manchester, and there has not been
general strike in 90 years. The principal
reason why the New Hampshire mills worked
longer hours than those OF Massachusetts was
on account Of the large cost OF transportation,
which cost 500, 600 yearly more than il the
mill was in Fall River. lie did not believe
that American manufacturing interests could
compete with foreign countries without
protective tariff. This was partly due to the
cheapness Of labor, coal and iron abroad.

The Maine girl tall and ruddy, kisses as
though She were taking an impression in the
chewing gum Of her native State. The Mas
sachuselis girl kisses in the Greek style, fla
vored with brown bread. The New York
girl goes at it like she was dabblng in a Wall
Street speculation. The kiss Of the New Ter
sey girl is fiery as the taste OF apple-jack,
better known as Jersey lightning. Little Del
aware's girls are as soft as the peaches that
grow there. A Maryland kiss is as rich and
Juicy as a terrapin stew. In the Old Domin-
ion you are met with the genuine hospitality;
the girls kiss as though they wanted you 10
stay. The Ohio girl is described as possess
ing all the comprehensive qualities of the
Ohio man-she wants all she can get and gets
all she can. A Louisiana kiss is said to be
like eating sugar-cane while North Carolina
girls stick like tar. And we may add, the
kiss of a Texas girl is as soft and gentle as
the mellow moonlight, and as sweet as the
balmy air that sweeps over the vast flower be-
dotted prairies. -Atlanta Constitution.
