GRAND Master Powderly in bis
address before the knights of Labor
last week in st. Louis, takes the
same views on immigration as was
stated in the columns OF the JOUR-
NAL a few weeks ago. He says !:
"We may adopt short hour laws, in
the order of the State as we'll as the
nation; we may fix the wage scales
throughout the land; we may enact
protective tariffs until the articles
OF foreign manufacture are prohibi-
ted, but while the tide of immigra-
ton floods in on the uninterrupted
stream there will be no dependence
upon the short hour laws, no re-
lance on the wage scale, ard there
can be no protection to American
labor that will really keep the stat
us OF the American workman higher
than that Of his brother who lives
under misrule. Your General Mas.
ter Workman has no hesitation in
saying that he tavors the total ex.
clusion of all immigrants who are not
self supporting On landing in this
country He would fix a term Of
years-ten would be long enough
during which term no Immigrant
should be permitted with the view
to remaining, unless he could prove
that he had sufficient means to sus
tain him for one year." The pau
per immigrants are competing will

wages, creating strikes and poverty
faster than any political party car
remedy.

AT the rate of expenditure which
has been maintained during the last
four months, and which tends 20 in
crease, the payments to pensioners
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1898, will aggregate about s1S0,000,-
600. The payments of the next fs-
cal year, which must be provided
for at the session Of congress now
about to meet, will run far beyond
200,000,000, if the same rate Of in~
crease is kept up. Pensions will
then consume from 40 to so per
cent. Of the total revenues OF the
government. Taxpayers will not
tolerate such a shameful state of
affairs always, and the protest
against it has already begun.

A NATIONAL BANKRUPT BILL.

A national bankrupt bill is again before
congress. The United States is the only
great commercial nation of the world that
has not national bankrupt act. The ar
gument ior bankrupt law rests on the
solid ground that highly intellectual
commercial nation cannot do without such
statute; that it is neither equitable nor
polite to hold men under the burden of
debt after they have surrendered all their
property, since, without release from q
ponderous Indebtedness, business men of
active, enterprising ability are practically
cut off from all future usefulness COM
mensurate with their powers.
If nobody failed in business but the
scoundrels and the incompetent, it would
be 4 matter of small concern whether the
milestone of debt was cut from their
necks or not, but in seasons Of universal
distress, the ablest and most prudent men
of commercial genius find that the scope
and sweep of mind that made them bene-
fetal powers in the world of trade, becomes
the very means of their ruin, since they
cannot shorten sail before financial
squalls, like the petty trader that
sails near the shore in his retail
coaster. The great financial storm
of 1897 was followed by thousands
OF failures, and the reasonable clamor of
ruined men for relief prompted the pas
sage OF the national bankrupt law of 1910.
The law of 1910 was repealed in obedience
to the cry of few narrow-minded credit
ors; but the wonderful increase of debtors
procured the passage of the defective,
because expensive, national bankrupt law
OF 1867. This act was repealed in 1878 in
obedience 10 the cry of the few for its re-
peal, cry uttered in the spirit of petuIant
spite and disappointment rather than in
the thought Of craftsmanship.
The act of 1857 could have been easily
recaSt and made less expensive in its adj
ministration. and ever since its repeal
there has been a steady growing demand
in commercial circles for the enactment of
\ good national bankruptcy law. 1t is
needed 10 protect the rights of honest
debtors and in the interest of fair-minded
creditors, who in the absence of q national
system OF bankruptcy are at the mercy of
the various state insolvent acts. Some
Of these state insolvent acts are wisely
drawn, but in many states they
are nothing but "grab" laws pro-
ductive Of dishonesty and fraud
through unjust preferences TO favored
creditors. We have al the evils with
none Of the advantages Of the national sys-
TEN. These grab laws" are a great in
jury to the people in the gross injustice
they work the foreign creditors and be-
cause of their essential ineauity which en-
ab!es any hard, austere man to pounce
upon debtor and force him into failure
that leaves the other creditors with no.
thing. because they were humane enough
10 let an honest man work off his obliga-
tions rather than run scrub race to see
who should first ear him up.

single women Is rebuke to those aippant
persons who are ever ready to sheer at q
single woman who has passed youth as
nothing but an old maid" The
generous requests of single women
OF large wealth has helped to
build free hospitals, free Libraries,
and in various ways make the world
warmer and brighter because they have
been here. Without husband or children
TO care for, rich single woman OF New
York city, who felt kindly, tender inter-
est in the welfare of her fellows and their
children, left her money to put up hos
pitai for the poor who are in want and
pain, to erect fine library for. her fellow
creatures, old and young, who could not
afford the extensive privileges she
purchased for them with her bounty. Of
course few women have large fortunes upon
which to base their benevoience. but every
where there are single women whose good
lives, kindly counsel and benevolent action
are the sweetness and light of the many
who are made to mourn, and because of
such il Is not pleasant to hear the coarse
expression, often thoughtlessly used, "She
is nothing but an old maid" A fine
woman neither makes herself by marriage
nor breaks herself by refusing or missing
marriage.
In world of terrible want, woe, ignor-
ance and sin, there is plenty of noble work
for woman to do if she has wealth to
give her leisure, and if she be true woman
she viii make herself blessed within or
without marriage, just as good man may
do. If it be true that Satan finds plenty
Of mischief for idle hands to do
and idle tongues to talk, it is
no more true of idle women
than of idle men, and a single woman of
wealth is no more proper synonym for
idleness and tattling mischief than a
wealthy blase bachelor. Marriage neither
makes nor breaks anybody, for no man or
woman makes celibacy curse who is ca
pable of adjoining marriage, and man or
woman married to nothing but some thor
oughly good cause, some public or private
benevolence, robs of all reproach the cur
rent phrase, "the state of single blessed
ness" Life may be blessed or cursed
whether within or without wedlock Mar
riage is not an ordinance fof the redemp-
ton of souls that would be otherwise
surely lost in the single state.

his daughter OF a very peculiar and unpleasant

OF 1867 was the facility with which debtor
managed to get q discharge; the admins
tration Of the law was more expensive
than necessary. When the act OF 1857 was
repealed in 1873. Senator Thurman, the
soundest lawyer in the United States Sem
ate, protested against its repeal, saying
thatit could be amended by giving debtors,
after paying all they could, not an abso-
lutte discharge, bnt an indemnity from
their creditors for five years. which would
be fair opportunity for an energetic
man to get upon his legs again,
and this, with reduction in the needless
expense of the laws administration, would
have been far wiser act than its peremp-
tory repeal Some intelligent mercantile
critics think . discharge might be judi
ciously refused unless the debtor pay
something toward his Indebtedness, per-
haps not less than so per cent. The law OF
1867 was repealed and the very business
man who scolded because he didn't get all
his debt under the national bankrupt act
found himself often bewailing the loss of
his entire debt, wiped out by the first
conner that served writ under the grab
law.
The United States has no general law
for the collection of debts. The constitu-
ton does not grant the power TO congress
to pass laws of this sort; each state has
its own collection laws. All the great
civilized nations of the earth have bank
rupt law, plea for the wisdom of such
law, since the laws of trade and the
equities of commerce and society are the
same the world over. The original
thought of the law and its intent is in the
interest of equity and humanity, and be-
cause the law of 1867 was marred by
lack of practical skill in adapting it to
its work was no sound reason for its
repeal.
