Hon. Geo. w McCrarv of Kenk

Hon. Geo. W. McCrary,of Keokuk
Iowa, who resigned the position OF
Secretary of War to accept the ap-
pointment of Judge of the Eighth
United States Judicial District en-
bracing Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas, Arkansas, Nebraska and
Colorado, last week forwarded his
resignation to the President to take
effect March 1st, after which time he
has contracted with the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe railroad to fill
the station of General Counselor and
Solicitor.
Judge McCreary is an honor to the
Federal bench and it is to be regret
ted that the Government pays so
much less in salary to its Judges than
the great corporations do to their
Attorneys, that the ablest lawyers
seek private service.

There is not much surface demon
stration as yet, but the indications
are that powerful protective tariff
lobby is assembling in Washington
to battle against reductions in the
iron schedule and the revival of the
old duties on wool. In regard to
this latter item the wool growers and
wool manufacturers are at war, the
growers seeking to re-establish the
old rates on imported feeces and the
mill men trying to keep duties down
on wool and all other 1raw material" +"
The farmers are not united while the
manufacturers as usual present a
solid front.

THR great DO nanza kinos Hacke-

The great DO nanza kings, Mackey
and Food, have just invested $780,
900 in silver mines in Mexico, These
mines it is said were brought to the
attention of the purchasers by Tom
Ochiltree OF Texas, and as recon
pense for this service the firm has
placed five hundred shares of the
stock to his credit. The only wonder
expressed in regard to this matter
is that the capitalists should have
had confidence enough in Tom 8 re-
ports to have felt justified in send

gard the five hundred shures award
ed to him in the light of a tribute to
the modesiy of one who could have

Most of the reports that reach us of
death from trichinea in Europe, are
coupled with statements to the effect
that the pork that communicated the
fearful disease was eaten raw. Indeed
IL seems that the pi actice of eating raw
pork prevails very generally among the
German peasants, and is probably attri-
high price of fuel. In this country most
of the deaths from this disease have been
traced TO eating raw pork sausages, and
it is Thought that thorough cooking is an
effectual preventive.

0. Reynolds 1t is well known wns oppos.
ed to the wild attempt made i'll the last
Legislature to adopt a system OF State su
pcrvison OF the rnilronds in. mud passing
through the State. He is certainly, WE
think, representative of the autisuprr,
yis0u element Of the senate, and we pre-
sumo his election is indicative of the op.
position of n majority Of the senate to the
supervision scheme Of the In st Legislature
AS this sentiment WAS cha mpiOned by
Mr. Barksdale, formerly of the Clarion,
and the present representative of his dis
trict in Congress, tho movement in this
State will miss his able championship.
And as he hns opened his war on the rail
roads from his new position in congress
OF the United States, it may be that the
State supervisionists in Mississippi will
be content to look to the action of con
gress Tor carrying out their peculiar view
in regard to railroad regulation.
With Mr.. Reagan of Texas, ns chairman
OF the committee Mr.. Barksdale n mem
ber, the subject of supervision of rail
roads, and the Interstate regulation of
railroad traffic is pretty sure to meet with
early attention and prompt action. Sena-
tor George in his letter to Gov. Lowry
on this su 'ject, WAS non committal upon
any phase of the supervision question
except that of the power of congress to
regulate the rates of roads passiu .
through more than one State. Backed by
the opinions of the sblest lawyers and
the decision Of some of the courts, there
can be but little doubt that the tactics
of the railroad regulators will be changed
and that they will III future look to
national legislation for the accomplish
ment of their object.
WE may, therefore, hope that there will
be good sense enough among our legisla-
tors to keep them from spending their
time in discussing law which will be
contested in all the courts and which will
accomplish nothing more than TO create
soft places for some vigorous railroad
reformers The election of senator Rey-
nolds is, we hope, an Indication that The
senate at least will not favor such law.

The Necessity For u General
Bankrupt Law.

The immense number of CONNER
cial failures reported by Dunn g. Co
mercantile agency for the first weel
of the new year, adds to the abundan
arguments in behalf of the SPEEDY
enactment by Congress of genera
Bankrupt law. Many of the houses
that have, to use an expressive term
"gone by the board," would have
been sustained by the very creditors
who shut them up ii general bank
rupt law had been in existence that
afforded equal and exact protection
to all who held the paper of the un-
fortunate tradesmen, but in the alb
sence of such statute self protection
demanded that the holder Of the first
piece of paper that went to protest
should proceed against the debtor,
close him up, and in general "grab
game" for his assets and effects, Sc
cure the first grab.
Under existing circumstances a
man may be pushed to the wall whose
assets are double his liabilities in
value, and his property be sacrificed
at forced sale in an overstocked mar
ket, not bringing half enough to sat
isfy the claims against him and costs
of seizure and sale, and leaving him
penniless and so deeply involved that
it will be impossible to renew bust
ness in his own name. But if we had
a carefully guarded Bankrupt law,
that voided all deeds of trust and
mortgages, and gave to every credi-
tor his prorata of the debtors estate,
and to the debtor such exemption as
the statutes of his own State provid
ed, his creditors would be slow in
closing him up and would only act
and even then in concert-when it
became apparent that he could not
work out of debt or was attempting
to defraud them out of their rights.
To-day no hard pressed merchant can
obtain an extension upon his paper
without the unanimous consent of his
creditors, and in many instances this
act of clemency is checked by the
obstinacy or cupidity of single
creditor who having obtained early
intimation of the perilous condition
of the debtor, has fastened an attach
ment upon his goods and other prop
erty and refuses to take any risk
by relinquishing his legal clutch.
The wholesale merchants of the
great commercial cities are wearying
of this condition of affairs, and if
Congress halts much longer in the
matter the dealers in the interior
towns will find it impossible to buy
goods except for cash or upon just
such mortgages and deeds of trust as
they have themselves been in the
habit of exacting where they gave
annual credits to local customers.
Every man who expects to ask
credit or to give credit; every man
who holds another's obligations Or
whose notes are in another's hands;
n fact every man who is in any kind
If business that involves credits and
lebits, is interested in the enactment
If a general Bankrupt law that will
guarantee fair division of assests
lmong creditors, and. fair exemption
md speedy and complete release to
honest debtors.

tariff has been voluntarily adopted
by the Mississippi rail roads, and they
charge it throughout their extont in

of the Texas roads that came down

sion, charge their old rates of from
