Who Will IL Be?

10 the Editor Of the Press.
IL is matter Of small importance who the
Democrats select as candidate for Congress
In TINS district. But as the opposition may
consider it necessary to have such a candi-
date there is naturally some interest felt bv
the public as to who the unfortunate gentle
man VIII be- In the last campaign the very
questionable honor went to York comfy. .
hence it is thought that this year Cumberland
county will be called upon to furnish the
victim. Hon. William L. Putnam has been
mentioned for both this nomination and that
of candidate for governor, and of the tx o
evils he will probably choose the one which
appears to him to be the least Light Horse

ANatIonai BANKRUPT Law.

We are Inclined to think that the present
Congress can pass no act which will so fully
meet real public want and will 90 so far
to commend it to the people, especially the
business people, as an act for the establish
ment of a uniform system of bankruptcy.
Many of the States have undertaken to deal
with this subject, but the results have been,
and inevitably must be, always unsatisfac-
tory. Each State can establish an insolvent
law applicable within its borders, but not
applicable outside. But as trade pays no
attention to State lines, in a majority of
cases these laws are of very little use. What
is needed is uniform system applicable to
the whole country alike and this Congress
alone can establish.
The last national bankruptcy law was in
some respects unsatisfactory. 1t gave to
the officials who administered the estate of
the bankrupt too large compensation, thus
enabling them to frequently capture the
lions share of the proceeds, leaving very
little for the creditors. Yet defective as that
law was the conditions of trade under it
were probably better than they have been
since.
Conditions that are stable and uniform,
even though they be somewhat onerous, are
much more conducive to trade than condi-
lions less burdensome, but which lack uni
formity. Years ago, before the creation of
the national banking system, every business
man had to familiarize himself with the cor
dition of hundreds of banks scattered over
the country, the value of their notes, the
discount on them in different parts of the
country and many other things in order to
carry on trade with citizens of other States.
or course the tendency of this was to restrict
trade between the different States. When
the national banking system was established
merchants were relieved from uncertainty
concerning the value Of the currency of 9TH
er States, trade was made easier and safer
with consequent large increase. The mer-
chant of today has to keep himself posted
upon the insolvent laws Of great many
States, many Of them intricate and difficult
to understand OF course the burden thus
Imposed is much less onerous than that
which resulted from the varying values of
the old State bank currency, became COM
paratively few commercial transactions ur-
dergo litigation in bankrupt court, but it
is burden nevertheless and has some effect
to render interstate trade less easy and safe,
and therefore tends to restrict it. A uni
form system of bankruptcy, simple in its
provisions and just to both the debtor and
creditor, would no doubt greatly facilitate
interstate commerce and thus prove bene-
fit to the commercial classes in all parts of
the country. Besides it would, undoubtedly,
promote commercial honesty.

legislative body of the denomination.
All members of the church over twenty
one years of age can vote. AS the
women have a big majority in the
church, they could easily carry the
measure if they would all vote. But
the men are largely opposed to it, as ir
is an innovation. and they are not sure
where it will lead. In the last confer
ence all that its friends could effect was
this submission to the votes of all
the churches. Unless the ladies
catch on to the situation more than they
seem to be doing the men will be apt to
vote it down. The economy of that
denomination argues in favor of the ex-
tension. Women should be eligible to
all the legislative and controlling bodies.
They exhort, lead in meetings and are
the main support of the church. Some
do not seem to understand that st.
