The Bankruptcy Bill.

One Of the important measures now
pendfng before Congress is the bankrupt
CIV bill. Itpassed the Senate last April,
and Is now before the House. 1t is what
is known Gs the Lowell bill, but was
changed considerably in the Senate from
It's original form. 1t is generally con-
ceded. however, that the changes i'm
proved the bill. It is probable that the
bill would have passed the House if
II had been reached before adjourn
ment. An attempt was made TO
call It I'D out of its regular order, which
reouires twO-thirds vote, and it failed by
only sixteen votes. That is pretty good
evidence that the bill has majority OF
the House in its favor. II 1t is not
reached during the present session all the
work that has been done on it will 20 for
Nothing. 4 new bill viii have to be in
troduced OF the old OIL will have to be re-
introduced next Congress.
There does not seem to be any doubt
that a general system Of bankruptcy is
desired by a majority Of the merchants in
all the principal cities Of the country.
such a system will facilitate the settle
ment OF bankrupt estates, will insure
fair division of the assets among the cred
itors. whether they all reside in one State
or are scattered in a bali dozen States,
and will afford honest bankruptsa speedy
wav Of getting rid Of their entanglements,
so that they can engage in business again.
One uniform system would certainly be
better than the score or more different
systems now in operation. Some Of these
systems are very unfair, and are not ben
eficiaI to either creditors or bankrupts.
Merchants whose business connections
extend over many States find it extreme
" difficult to keep themselves informed
respecting the iusOlEent laws Of the diff
ferent states.
In the bill now before Congress care
has been taken to provide for the prompt
settlement of bankrupt estates. One of
the great objections to the last bankrupt
law was that the estates were absorbed
by excessive fees. That objection has
been guarded against in the present bill.
The only way to get the bill through
this Congress is for the merchants all over
the country to urge its passage at once.
If there is no pressure brought to bear in
its favor the chances are that it will not

Dissatisfied Republicans.

The Republican papers do not ike the
vav the President. in his message, ana
the Secretary Of the Treasury, in his re-
port. treated the tariff question. 1t is very
natural that they should not. The po-
sition taken by the President and oecIe-
tary is hostile to the course pursued Oy
the Republican party during the late
campaign. Mr.. Blaine's speeches IN tDe
West were almost wholly devoted to de-
Tense Of the protective system, and the
papers which supported him, with one
notable exception, earnestly advocated
the Republican cause because the Repub-
Ican party was pledged to sustain high
protective tariff.
The Secretary Of the Treasury says very
plainly that tariff reduction is a neeessi-
ty, and the President indOrses what he
saws. It's more than probable that Il
Mr.. Blaine had been elected the Repuo-
Iican rarty, in the near future, would
have undertaken the work Of reducing
| the tariff. because it would have been
forced to do so. The talk Of high pro
teetive tariff did well enough for cam
paign purposes. but the Republican Lead
! ers cannot fail 10 see that before our manu-
| fact1ring interests can be again pros
nerous they must have an outlet for their
| surplus products. The only way TO Sc
| cure this outlet is by so reducing the
I tariff that our manufactures can CON-
pete with the manufactures Of Europe.
/ our own market, as the Secretary Of the
Treasury shows, is capable Of absorbing
| only about half Of our manufactured pro-
duets. The other half must be sold some
where. or else our factories and shops
| must be closed half their time.
The argument which the Republicans
have ALWAYS addressed TO the working
men that a reduction Of the tariff means
a reduction in their wages, Is a powerful
one. but in the future it will not be &C
nowerful as it has been in the past, be-
cause worklngmen are beginning 70 learn
from experience that high tarin no"
means idIeness a good part Of their time
The reciprocal commercial treaties
which Mr.. Arthur's administration has
negotiated and which now await ratihea'
tion smack more strongly Of free trade
| than ANYTHING that has ever been adyO-
Gated bv the Democratic party. There
may he a good deal to be said in favor OF
sueb treaties, but they do not help ouI
manufacturing interests TO the extent
that is desirable. For instance, il
* understood that in the treaty negotia'
ted with Spain low grades Of sugar from
Cuba are to be admitted free Of duty. A
very large part OF our revenue comes
from the duty On sugar. If the revenue
from sugar is cut OF there VIII be little OF
no surplus reveu-Ie, aud as the govern
ment must be supported from duties on
imports. it viii be found impractieable,
perhaps. 10 take the duty of such articles
as will assist our manufactures To
cheaper their productions. The aim now
should be TO open the way for our manufac-
lures TO foreign markets, and Congress, III
discussing this Spanish treaty, should IN
quire whether or rot that aim Will DC
promoted by the treaty.

Mr. Robinson,s resolution.

Representative Robinson, of New York,
is anxious that at the Inauguration OF Mr.
Cleveland there shall be return to the
simplicity which marked the Inauguration
of Thomas Jefferson. The resolution which
he introduced in the EOuse yesterday to
accomplish that object will hardly meet
with the unanimous assent that its
mover would like. While the Demo-
cratic masses are not anxious to make
a display conspicuous fer it's grandeur
or magnificence, they do intend to give
Mr.. Cleveland the grandest inaugural
ever witnessed at Washington. 1t will be
grand because of the numbers that will
be present and the expression of good
feeling that viii be everywhere mani
tested. Mr.. Robinson doesn't want any
soldiers or bayOnets present. He
will in all probability see the
most magnificent military display on
Pennsylvania avenue ever witnessed
there. The finest military organizations
of the North and the South, composed
largely of men who took part in the late
war, Will march together at the inau-
gural. The conditions are very different
to-day from what they were in Thomas
JeffersOn's time. In 1901 when
he was first inaugurated the capt.
ital was almost inaccessible.
People from California can reach
it with greater ease now than it could
be reached from portions of Virginia
then. Thomas JeffersOn's simplicity was
strictly in keeping with his surroundings.
The country would hardly be satisfied to
have Mr.. Cleveland inaugurated in the
same quiet way that Mr.. Jefferson was
inaugurated, and yet Mr.. Cleveland's in
auguration need not be less democratic
than Mr.. Jefferson's was. There will not
be a great deal of pOmp or ceremony, but
there will be a good deal that will show
how deeply the hearts Of the people are
moved over the restoration of the govern

Prompt and Certain Punishment
Needed.

1t seems almost as difficult, in some
instances, to detect criminals who commit
crimes openly as those who commit them
secretly. On last Monday five men assas-
sinated city official IN New Orleans in
broad daylight and in a street where
people were passing all the time. Thirty
or more pistol shots were fired and
at least forty people saw the shooting.
a half dozen persons have been arrested
as the guilty parties, but there appears to
be great deal of doubt as to who the
assassins are. The chief among those
arrested is Police Justice Ford. He had
had difficulty with the murdered man,
which, at the time of the shooting. had
not been settled. He, however, denies
that he is one Of the assassins, and claims
that he can show that he was a half
dozen squares away from the place where
the assassination occurred when the
shooting took place.
1t VIII be rather remarkable il any one
is convicted of this crime. There have
been good many homicides in New Or

Silver Coinage.

The emphatic protest uttered by the
President and the Secretary Of the Treas
urv against further coinage Of silver ap-
pears to have had some effect. A bill has
been introduced in the Senate to suspend
the coinage, and a similar bill, doubtless,
will be introduced IN the House. 1t is
not improbable that a bill suspending the
coinage Of silver will be passed at the
present session. Even the most enthusi-
astic advocates Of silver coinage are be-
ginning 10 see that a continuance OF the
present silver policy Is naught
with danger. The Treasury vaults
are filed with silver dollars
for which there is no demand. 1t Is now
propOsed TO call in all the 81 and 81 bills
in order to force the silver dollars into
circulation. This proposition, if carried
ont. may force ., 000, coo more silver dol
lars into circulation. but that number
will not make much of an impression on
the number now piled up in the Treasury.
The efforts that have thus far been made
TO fix the status Of silver in the coinage OF
the world have not been very
successful, and the prospect that
such efforts will meet with more en-
couragement in the near future Is
not very promising. AS long as the po-
sition Of silver is so uncertain 1t would
hardly be safe for this government to FUR
ther increase its silver currency. There
are over 500, COO. 600 in silver certificates
in circulation which are really worth
only 50 cents on the dollar, but which are
now passing for their face value. At the
first sign of danger these certificates
would be refused, except at a discount OF
| Is cents on the dollar. The loss TO the
people would be large. The representa-
tives of the silver producing States viii,
of course, oppose the repeal of the COM
! pulsory feature of the silver coinage act,
but their influence will amount to very

There are now III cotton seed oil mills
in the United States, nearly all Of them
being in the South. Competition has re-
suited in the increasing Of the price Of
seed, and the reduction of the price of oil
until several mills have been forced to
suspend. 1t is stated that 100000 were
sunk by the Memphis oil mills last year,
and few mills can run more than four
months il the year. One firm in New
York is said to be making more money
out Of cotton seed oil than all the mills.
1t bottles the stuff and sells it for sEpure

cents per pound, the demand for cotton
seed oil for domestic purposes has ceased,
