A National Insolvency Systam.


1t is difficult to comprehend or ex-
plain the opposition manifested 10y
some members Of congress and Texans
among them to the passage of ma
tional bankrupt law. When this SEES
sion of congress convened THE GA
zETrE was sure that the passage of the
Lowell or some other equally practical
bill would be one of the first measures
passed. AS early as January THE GA
zErrE, with other papers, urged the
necessity for such law and besought
congress to give the matter early and
favorable attention. The session is
now nearing its close, and of the two
or three bankrupt bills presented all
are still pending one passed. 1t
Is very strange, we must repeat, to ac-
count for the delay and opposition.
No business man, whether in or out
of congress, need be told that the bust
ness interests of the country demand
the measure. We are accustomed to
sneer at Mexico, where every state i'm
the republic has its own system of Gus
toms taxation, varying according
to the whinis and needs Of the author
tiles, totally unlike the system of this
or any other well-organized govern
ment on the globe. And yet, i'm this
matter of n bankrupt system, are we
less Vulnerable to criticism than Mex
leo, with her custom-houses in every
state? We have thlrty-eight states, all
grouped under one flag, and yet in
each one of these states there Is an in
solvency system differing from that In
each one of the thirty other
states. Our revenue, postal and other
systems are uniform; our currency Is
the same from Maine to California.
Why not uniform insolvency law?
Commercial statistics show that the
ratio of failures is growing with each
year. Business men bear testimony
that all over the country there are
thousands of honest but unfortunate
men who ought to and would he In
business again but for the lack of a ma
tional bankrupt system. Every COM
mercial organization in the country of
any Importance has Endorsed the sup-
gestion of such system, and it is
sound public policy to put 1t in force.
Weare glad to see that an effort has
been made In congress this week to get
consideration of the matter, and It ia
70 l,e hoped that something will he
done now. There is no getting around
the fact that the country wants action

A North Texas Institution.

The Fort Worth GAZETTE earnestly
defends its right, aud the propriety Of
its acting as "a semi-otliciai organ for
the Republicans, as they have none of
wide circulation. This is well enough
as matter of liberality, and nobody
suspects THE GAZETTE of being very
straightforward in It's Democracy, though
1t is genuinely Democratic OH the
tariff question, rs well as universally
acceptable newspaper. 1t can at least
make favorable comparison with the
Galveston News and Dallas Herald,
possibly even with the Houston Post.
We stand up for THE GAZETTE as a
North Texas institution, and are not
disposed to scan its political chastity
critically. NJ

1T won't do TO monkey with free

Hopkins and Rains securities instructed

Cremation.

New Orleans may take hint from
Venezuela. The government of that
South American republic has decreed
that hereafter the bodies OF those who
die of yellow fever shall be cremated.
The government will provide crema-
tories and incineration is made COM
pulsory. The ashes of the bodies thus
disposed of will be delivered to the
relatives of the dead inclosed in sealed
urns, with Il certificate from the physi-
cian and official in charge of each ere
matory. Relatives and friends will
also be permitted to be present at the
incineratiops, If they so desire. The
apparatus for these crematories have
already been ordered in Europe, with
skilled operators. The first one will
be established at Caracas, and as soon
thereafter as possible one in each dis
trict where yellow fever prevails.
Medical science will, no doubt, declare
this an advanced step in dealing with
yellow fever, rs 1t promises to destroy,
more ettectually than any other known
means, the germ of this dread disease
of tropical and semi-tropical regions.

The People Want Free Grass.

Should the Democratic state con-

to be the wish ofnine-tenths of the peo-
pie of Northwest Texas, and il Is ofthis
section we speak and appeal to the con-
vention when assembled, to respect
fully consider their wishes upon this
question. Let the Democracy of
Texas take warning.

Leopold's Death Due to a Nights
Spree.


Despite the painfully fulsome and
the ridiculously prolix articles in the
papers about the Duke of Albany,
says London special to the New
York Sun, the truth with regard to
the circumstances of his death iscreep-
ing out. 1t is now universally &C
knowledged that the Prince is dead
because he was allowed, for the first
time in his life, to go out alone on a
spree. intoxicated with his unusual
freedom, and accustomed all his life
to revolt against the idea that he
was an invalid, he lived as fast as he
could, danced furiously, stopped up
all night, drank pretty freely, and
so brought on a fatal fit of that
epilepsy from which he suffered all
his life. Labouchere, in Truth, is
the only journalist who tells even
little of the real facts, and he goes
so far as to express regret that the
sickly Prince was ever allowed to
marry. Society is quietly laughing
in it's sleeves over the ostentatiOus
woe of the Prince of Wales, as it is
notorious that he rather disliked his
brother. The members of the
government displayed certain in
clination to ride on the tide Of pOpu
lar emotion by proposing an allow
ance to the one child of the Duke
already in existence and to second
which is coming, but they were
warned by some of their Radical
supporters that such a proposal would
be resisted to the death, and the ma
ton would be aroused to real alarm
by the prospect of allowances to the
numerous tribe of the Queens grand
children. It was also pointed out
that the Princes had an allowance
of 5000 pounds year, which, for
an absolutely penniless German girl,
was not bad. The newspapers,
meantime, continue to supply food
for curious reflection on the extra,
ordinary characteristics of English
journalism. A lively controversy
has gone on as to whether the Queer
did or did not fall in a faint wher
she first heard the news. One re
porter, in want of additional details
described at length the tears of the
flunkies and the maidservants of the
Princess household In short, thu
chief moral of the episode is thu
completeness with which a silen
treaty of universal hypocrisy can b.
carried out by the English press.
