THE NRKD or A BAsKnuPT Law.
The national bankruptcy convention has
issued n little pamphlet, says the New York
Evening Post, giving In a few words d state
ment OF their reasons for urging the passage
Of a bankrupt law. They are able 10 put the
case this year in a stronger light than that
in which 1t appeared ut the last session of
congress; for every additional six months OF
depression of business makes the need OF n
bankrupt law more apparent. The failures
In the United states, they say. were s35,0oO-
900 in 1859. sl0i 600 In 1853, and sl730O OK In
1851, and yet, with this enormous burden of
Indebtedness. our laws provide no uniform
means Of distributing the property of The In
solvents among their creditors, nor fglying
The former discharge from liability on a
surrender of their property.
The state insoivent laws are OF little of no
use, because they are local, and because they
have TO n considerable extent bsen framed
by debtor commodities In the interest OF
the debtor. The first great stride the United
States made in material prosperity was made
on borrowed capital, and borrowers were,
In much of our early legislation, treated as u
favored class. This explains the large cs.
emptlon froW attachment In some OF The
states. Tho system ofpreference, too though
not designed 10 help the debtor, certainly
plays into his hands. IL enables an s. solvent

ton designed 10 protect his property from
his creditors as payment of. a prefer
red debt. On the other hand, u state
law can give an insolveDt no discharge bind
Ing In any other state, and the result oi this
Is that very large proportion of The debts
OF an inaolSent are Kept awe for yesrD by
creditors who chh aford 70 wait, and hang
like n milestone ronnd his neck.
There Is only one view. that modern. COM
mercial nation can take OF Insolvency, not
accustomed bv fraud-and that Is the CONNER
cial view that 1t IL "a misfortune. which cap-
not be altogether prevented, In which both
creditorand debtor must suffer, and IN which
all that can be fairly asked Of debtor Is
that he should make The misfortune 10 the
creditor as light as II can be made. The risk
OF insolvency from depression sansed by u
panic or war. orany OF the thousand un-
foreseen accidents which affect prices and
blu mess, Is one which every one who nd
van es money IN the course OF trade, or who
sells on credit, takes. Its n necessity Of the
existence OF commercial credit thai he shonid
make II; but lie cannot be called upon TO take
any other or greater risk. In the present

SA
Cmur 'Alene, Idaho, March 49,
sightof Murrayvilh is the ia
NOUS Widows claim, the placer dig
gings which first attracted the crowds
to the banks of the Pritchard creek.
The claim is on the creek, just off the
trail at the mouth of Gold Run. Here
l saw the first evidences of real work
being done. Eight or nine deter
mined-looking men were digging a
drain-ditch, throwing the gravel on
the banks with long-handled shovels.
An occasional revolver could be seen
strapped about the waist of ~ blue
shifted miner, a Winchester rifle was
placed on a dry blanket ON snow
bank within reaching distance, and
other evidences were not wanting to
show that the claim was being worked
oy the jumpers" who dispute the
night of Pritcnard to locate claim for
an outside party and hold 1T without
the owner appearing IN person to as
sert ms rights and make representa-
zion" according to mining customs.
The claim is now held by nine men,
who have the support of every miner
IN the Murrayville mining district, so
it Will be difficult to disp ssess them.

A PETITION las long as a city block'-a
very uncertain length, by the way-has been
prepared by the citizens of Harlem and pre-
scented to the fire commissioners, praying that
the fre-bells lie required to strike the alarm,
as formerly, the plan now being simply to
strike small bell inside the engine-houses,
notifying the companies of the location of
the blaze. This has been the custom since
1873 and has been found to work we'll. The
striking of a public alarm, while doing no
good, does a great deal of harm, in that it
summons hundreds of disreputable characters,
thieves and pickpockets to the scene of the
fire. where they ply their trade during the &C
companying excitement. The still alarm is
generally the best
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1884-05-13

In the Methodist General Conference one
of the colored delegates, Rev. H. W. Key,
speaking to the work of the Freedmans Aid
Society, said among other things:
II have walked from my church and found
the dead bodies of my members lying in the
road, shot down with rifle bullets l have
been taken from my house at midnight with
a moose about my neck. 1 have seen my col
leagues hanged by my side from the limb of a
tree-a fate which l myself only escaped
through the intercession of one of the muir
derers who had been my friend. l
still bear on my back the marks of
their scourges and l cannot quite
forget it. | have stood in my pulpit and
preached while my church was surrounded by
armed and masked men, and l have seen my
members, as they came out, shot down in their
tracks, after being told to run for their lives.
These are things of the past; but the negroes
remember them and resent anything that
tends to draw the color line in religion"
We do not hear much nowadays of the old
assertion that the stories of ku-klux deviltry in
the Southern States were false and slanderous.
Such testimony as that above quoted will
stand forever, to the disgrace of the Demo
cratic party, in whose political interests the
foul and horrible crimes were committed.

LORD TENNYsoN, the poet laureate, has not
been attending to his knitting properly. He
has permitted important events in the royal
family including the death of John Brown
to pass without celebration by odes; but if he
allows the Hesse-Darmstadt affair to go by. the
people will believe that no poetic situation can
longer inspire him. What could be more
romantic than the marrying of lovely woman
by duke just to get rid of her, and his sub
sequent invitation to his Queen mother-in-law
