THE INsoLvENT DEBTORS BILL


The bill which passed the Council on
Thursday to provide for assignments of
lnsolvent debtors seems good one gen.
orally, but it contains one. provision
which of itself shonld be sufficient to
carry 1t through to enactment. That is
the requirement that in order to be
lawful the assignment must be for the
equal benefit of all the creditors of the
debtor, no preference to one credito~
or any class of creditors being allowed.
We cannot now recall a single instance
of an assignment here which has been
made for the equal benefit of all the
creditors. Preferences have invariably
been given, and the preferred creditors
have almost invariably been persons
who could best afford to lose their
claims. 1t has been lawful to do
this, bat it has not been just; giving
a preference. TO one, deprives
another OF his proportionate share of
the estate, and to which he is Justly en-.
titled. There have been assignments
here, when two or three of the creditors
have been paid in full, and the others
received nothing, when the latter,s
claims were the more deserving of paw
ment. When all the creditors are placed
upon an equality, the situation will also
be better for the debtor, as there will be
less probability that he will make an
assignment. Bankruptcy which might
beaverted is frequently precipitated by
the desire OF the debtor to protect per-
sonal friend at the expense of his other |
creditors. When The debtor under
stands that his property must be dis
tnouted on the principle of share and |
share alike, between all those tc whom
lie Is indebted, and that he cannot |
favor one at the cost of another. he
will be less anxious to surrender and
get from under the load, and those who
under the present law would be pre.
ferred and, therefore, use their infiu-
ence to cause an an assignment. will
not be so ready to advise giving up.
Its hoped the bill will pass and ba-
come law, when it win put stop to one
cement of crookedness, or at least sns
picion in assignments. sFo95I j

LAWFUL FFFUi = PpRopR1Ar1oNs.

La fl leEIt b-- tFGf< %. ue4
Governor Murray has sent to the
Legislature a circular letter from Score
tary Lamar TO Territorial Governors
regarding appropriations by Territorial
Legislatures for other expenses OF the
Assemblies than those provided for by
Congress; such as the per diem t ce'.
tain clerks and other officers, extra
-, printing, etc. Plainly, the meaning oil
this circular and its presentation TO the
Legislature is notice that His
Excellency VIII approve no appropria-
ton bill con tanning Items for the pay OF
any officer Of the Assembly, or for any
extra expense incurred by either house,
such as for newspapers, stationery,
postage stamps, extra clerks, and so on.
Without saying anything at this time
about the Justice or the injustice OF the
matter, it cannot be out of place to re-
mark that two years ago Governor
Murray was not so anxious to hold the
Legislature down to the rules of strict
economy in expanding the public
money, and not so particular about the
legality of appropriations, that he
could find it in his heart to veto bill
which contained an item OF two thou
sand dollars for the use and benefit of
mythical messenger i'll the employ OF
himself. Nor has this stickler for econ
omy and strict construction, in the two
years past, found courage to fail to draw
the money regularly asitcame due. Nor
is he yet brave enough to send the
same back to the Territorial treasury;
though he knew at the time,
and has known ever since, that
the Legislature had no legal
right to vote him the money, that as
Governor charged with the duty OF
'crutinizing bills presented to him. he
lad no legal right to approve the appro.
oriation, that he had no messenger to
whom to pay the money, and that Con
,ress, in plain words, had forbidden the
nactment or enforcing Governor
eng very important part OF the law
making power-any law by which the
Governor was to be paid "any compen-
alton other than that provided by the
,ws of the United States" THE ,
IERALD wouldn't be mean enough to
ven hint that His Excellency has be-
ome economical, solicitous and lawful
/ regard to the distribution of the pub
, funds. because he realizes
lat the Legislature will throw
more $1,000 sops in his
rection; but we fear there are
'rsons who are just wicked enough to
row out such ugly hints and sugges- \
ons. If the Legislature had the right |
70 years ago to give Murray two :
lousand dollars it has the right to re-
Eat the appropriation this year, for
Ie Congressional law on the subject
rs not been changed within the period. {

Reading has become an art, and in
this great country with its thousands OF
different publications, it requires consid
cradle skill to be able to know what to
read and what to omit TC aid in devel-
oping desire for proper reading and re-
search the Y. M. g. A. have formed Il
band who meet once awcek to review the
current literature of the week. Three
meetings have been held and the reports
presented have been exceedingly satisfac-
tory. The aim is not to read too much
but to give proper attention to some part
of each paper. One week before the re-
view each man is assigned n paper found
on the tables of the reading room. He is
to center his attention upon what he re-
CARDS as the very best production in the
paper and after giving thorough study to
the article is expected to report to the
band. After n report has been made
each person present is at liberty to ask
any question, make any suggestion or
offer any criticism to what has been
said. The criticisms are likely to inspire
short debates and develop Independent
thought. All young men interested in
education will find these occasions inter
esting and profitable. The meetings are
held on Tuesday evenings at O'Clock.

city engineer, with instructions to select
the lowest bids and have the contracts
drawn up.
An ordinance was introduced and
passed fixing n penalty OF not less than
s. nor more than 300 for worrying. hurt
ing or killing rabbits, squirrels or birds

putting in the sewer from the Jail to the
street The bill was allowed aud ordered
paid. Mr.. Bixby complained that he was
not allowed by the water works company
to put IN any service pipe from mains to
the sidewalks, and requested the council
to take action which would prevent any
discrimination. The motion was referred.
