BANKRUPTCY ELL.
The House then proceeded to the con.
sideration Of the bankruptcy bill.
MIR. E. 3. Taylor, of Ohio, opened the
debate witha speech in favor OF the bill
as onein whose preparation no pains had |
been spared to make it Just and equita-
BILE to all parties.
Mr.. Wallace, of New York, expressed |
bis hearty approval OF the Inv. 1t was
framed in the interest OF business in.
trgrity and commercial fair dealing.
Mr. Culbertson, of Texas, opposed the |
bill before the House. Never in his ex.
perience in Congress had he seen bill |
more irdustriously, more intelligently
and more indefa!igably lobbied than |
this bill had been. Referring to the
convention held in Minnesota in favor
OF the measure he SAID that the bill had |
bnen prepared by the attorney for the |
associated grocers' company OF St. Louis.
Mr.. Wheeler, of Alabama, said the
Speaker Of the House had ordered the
bill to be pussed [ laughter. He had
ordered tho election bill to be passed
and it had been passed and he presumed
that this bill would, but it bristled with
assaults on the freedom OF the people
just as the election bill did. The only
reason he could see for this bill was that
the Republican party was going into
bankruptcy and wanted chance to be
discharged and start business again.
TIRED OF Observation-Disclosures,
Mr.. Buchanan, OF New Jersey, de-
clared that the statement Of the gentle
man from Alabama (Mr. Wheeler that
the Speaker had ordered this bill to pass
was surprising one. He (Mr. Buch-
auap) was n membsr OF the Judiciary
Committee; he had taken part in fran.
ing this measure, and he had reported
it 10 the House and he wished to say to
the House that to-day he did not know
whether the Speaker was in favor OF the
bill or opposed 10 it. They had never
passed word on the subject and he was
getting little tired OF insipuatious of
this kind. rs7
Mr. Wheelar--I should think you
would bD.
Mr.. Buchanau--Precisely 80. Ihave
said that. | have nRd no conversation
with tho Speaker in reference to this
bill and what more canI say? only
weary OF in,ima,ions that have no found
alton in fact.
Continuing, Mr.. Buchanan supported
tho measure, contendipg that ia WAS de.
manded by the people OF the country.
There was nothing political or sectional
in it. Every precaution he'd been taken
to secure n speedy and inexpensive dis.
tribution of the estate OF insolyents,
Every safeguard against fraudulent con.
duet on the part of bankrupt, referee, or
assignee, had been as carefully drawn a.
the English language would permit OF.
Mr.. Kelly, OF Kansas, inquired wheth-
er under the provisions OF the bill, Law.
yers only could be appointed referees.
Mr.. Buchanan made an affirmative re-
sponse.
Mr.. Kelly suggested that it was not
right to discriminate against farmers
land he was one himselfl and business
i men who we're not members OF the bar.
Mr.. Oates, Of Alabama, opposed the
! bill. ts
Mr.. Barnes, OF Louisiana, and Mr..
Hayes, Of Iowa, gave modified support
to the bill. advocating the general tenor
OF the measure, but suggesting certain
changes. .
Pending further debate ne House ad.
iourned.
