Tn large number of failures this year
have shown the need of a national bank
rupt law, and it is hoped that good
law may be enacted at the next session
of congress. All the large failures have
been of firms with business Of several

ency laws is not likely to conduce to the
outstanding Of the resources ofthe bank
rupt and the just satisfaction of credi-

nomena figures of the past two years,
will still be very large. During the first
seven months of 1888 there arrived at all

sons. These are tho months during
which immigration is always heaviest,
shd their total is Usually about three
ffths of that tor the entire year. Thus
up to the close of July in 1882, the
whole number of arrivals was about 450,-

this year, the total at the end will he in

Judge Lawrence, first controller Of the
treasury of the United States, expresses
the opinion that the postal telegraph
system is more popular than any other
proposition to reduce tolls, but that it IS
very possible that 4 bill will be passed
to reduce the present and establish
uniform system of telegraph
tolls as the company's are now managed.
II was suggested to Judge Lawrence
that the constitutionality Of his PROPOSE
ton that congress has a perfect right to
regulate the tariff charge by telegraph
companies as. they are now. had already
been raised on the ground that he gov.
eminent had no right to interfere with
private business. "Oh, that is
folly" replied the Judge. Great mo-
nopolies and corporations are
very prone to fall back on the constitu-
ton when congress speaks of interfering
on behalf Of the masses. There il no
trouble about the constitution, Congress
has perfect right to say how much tolls
may he charged by the telegraph com
panles Judge Lawrence says, and ev-
erybody will agree with him, that it is
an outrage that the company, which was
In law common carrier, should be al
lowed to take property worth Sl5, 600, 600
water it to $S0.000,OO0, then tax the
community to pay large dividends.
