desire to assist in making few laws at
Washington, ana, after rather ylgor-
Gus contest, was given the Republlcan
nomination in the Eleventh Iowa last
fall. The district was strongly Republl-
can, but thu Democrats were after Mr..
Perkins at rather lively rate, and only
his vigorous campaign saved him. He
is vigorous and able writer. with an
independent turn of mind, and for
this reason has more opposition
inside the ranks of his own party. Con-
gresham Perkins will take part in the
discussion that will follow the reading
of paper on the subject of ''The Inter
ior Daily" at this mornings session.
Editor John G. Kelly, of the Sioux
City Tribune, who is also at the Ryan,
is rather more aggressive than Congress
man Perkins, and has had much to do
with reducing the Republican vote in
Northwestern Iowa in the past few
campaigns. His paper is modelled on
the popular plan, and has circulation
in Southwestern Minnesota, Southeast
ern Nebraska and all Western Iowa. In
some quarters he is known as ''fghting
Jack Kelly" and the name fits pretty
well. Mrs. Kelly accompanies the ed
itor on this trip.
Among the prominent Pennsylvania
editors in the SANITY City is George W.
Rianhard, of the Williamsport Grit,
Sunday paper that boasts a circulation
of over $4,000, although published in
city having less than $4,000 population.
Grit circulates throughout the central
and northern portions of the Keystone
state, and is just lively enough to be
desired by nearly every family in its
field that can read. The senseless per-
secution of Messrs. Rianhard and La
made, the proprietors of Grit, some
years ago by district judge, gave the
paper wonderful life, and it has ever
maintained its place. Mr.. Rianhard is,
of course, greatly pleased with the push
and hustle of st. Paul, and is already at
work upon series of lively letters for
his paper.
Judge Jay L. Torrey, of ST. Louis, the
author of the Torrey bankruptcy bill,
arrived last evening to attend the
National Editorial convention and is
stopping at the Hotel Ryan. He was
seem by a reporter of this paper and
interviewed concerning the agitation
in behalf of the bill. He said:
'The outlook for the passage of the
bill by the next congress is promising.
Since the adjournment the bill has been
endorsed by an additional number of
important bodies, and among them the
First Western State Commercial Con-
gress. the National ConfectionerS aSSO-
citation, Cheyenne board of trade, the
Trans Mississippi Commercial Congress,
the American Boiler Manufacturers
association of the United States and
Canada aud National Furniture Man
ufacturerS' association"
In continuing hp rafprrpd Tn thA f9ct
that the bill had been Endorsed by ap-
proximately three hundred bodies,
which was more favor than had ever
been accorded to any commercial meas
ure, and that these bodies represented
every state in the union except Nevada,
Vermont and Idaho.
When the subject of the merits of the
bill was referred to, he responded that
persons could not be thrown into bank
ruptcy until after fair and impartial
trial, except by their voluntary consent;
that all proceedings would be open and
above board and after due notice to the
parties in interest; that the bankrupt
would receive the exemptions provided
by the laws of the state in which he
lives and be given discharge if an
honest man; that estates would be
quickly and cheaply administered; that
frauds growing out of the conduct of
the bankrupt, the improper distribu-
ton of property, the giving of unfair
preferences and the taking advantage
of one creditor by another. or the cred
itors by the debtor and vice versa,
would not be permitted"
In anticipation of the final result, the
author said that the cause was just
one, the bill fair measure, and there
could be but one result ultimately, and
that was the enactment of the law by
congress,
