UNIFORMITY IN STATE LAWS.

There will shortly be held at Saratoga
n convention of general interest, com
posed of commissioners appointed by the
different states of the union to consider
and report upon such measures aS will
tend to bring about uniformity of
state laws touching certain vital COM
mercial ana domestic subjects. The
coming conference will be the fifth for
this purpose and it is announced that
about thirty states will be represented.
Having its origin with the Bar associa-
ton of New York some five years ago
the movement has met with the hearty
support of the legal profession in most
of the other states. the sentiment being
very general with the more intelligent
lawyers of the country that there is ur-
gent necessity for greater uniformity of
state laws as to certain matters,
particularly of commercial char
acter 1t is urged that the diversity
of laws and of legal decisions is en-
barraSsing to business transactions be-
tween citizens of different states, and in
such social questions as arise out of
marriage and divorce, the making of
wills and the Inheritance and transfer
of property, work not only confusion
but wrong.
The aim of the movement which it is
| the purpose of the conference to pro-
mote is, among other things, to make
the formalities attending the executions
of wills uniform, to assimilate legal
| weights and measures. and to make the
manner of acknowledging and executing
all written instruments the same
| throughout the country. 1t is also re-
garded as desirable to correct the di-
vergence that now prevails between the
| laws of the different states concerning
corporations. While some states strictly
limit corporations in the issuing of CAPT
tai stock, maintaining it unimpaired and
keeping their indebtedness below the
amount of their paidup capital, with
other restrictions, other states leave
them practically free to do as they
please in these matters. 1t is urged
that if all the states could be brought
to adopt some common requirements as
to the organization and management of
|
corporate property, sthe protection of in.
vestors against fraud would be pro
NOTED and otliel good results both tc
the corporations and the public at
tanned. lHi IT
This movement has already had Il
good effect, and while progress toward
uniform state legislation is not ex
pected to be rapid it is confidently be
lieved that in the course of time the
result in view will be attained Ger
tainly the movement ought to command
the earnest attention of the legal profes
sion in every state, but it also appeals
to the interest of the general public.
concerns particularly the business mer
of the country. to whom uniformity il
commercial laws would be of grea
benefit, while all good citizens should
desire such uniformity in marriage ant
divorce laws as will better protect so
ciety from conditions that now bring
reproach upon it.

We are not in the least surprised to
learn that there is slim prospect of
an early hearing of the complaint filed
by the Omaha Commercial club with
the Interstate Commerce commission.
On the contrary, we should have been
very much surprised If the commission
had dispensed with it's summer vaca-
tion or made any departure from its
well known methods of procrastination.
1t is exceedingly doubtful, even if the
commission had decided to give the
complaint prompt consideration, whether
we should have anything to crow over.

The bloomer dress is a pair OF trousers,
very baggy at the knees. abnormally full at
the pistol pockets, and considerably full
where you strike match. The garment Is
cut decollete at the south end, and the bot
toms tied around ankles or knees to keep the
mice out. You can't put it on over your
head like your shirt, nor around you like a
corset but you must sit ON the floor and
pull 1t on just as you do your stockings,
one foot at time in each compartment.
You can easily tell the right side to have
in front by the buttons on the neckband.

Richmond Times.

The men who make the world move think
little of the misfortunes of the past Their
faces are always turned to the future. They
are always on the lookout for opportunities
to improve their condition and they know
that improvement must be the result Of labor
by them. They know that II there was more
money than any populist ever dreamed Of,
they can get none of 1t unless they labor to
produce something to exchange for it. and
they know there is abundance OF money
in the world to negotiate all the transactions
necessary to exchanging the fruits of their
labor for the fruits OF other mems labor,
which is the only useful function that money
can perform.

Cost of Indian Warfare.


1t is impossible to determine exactly the
amount of money expended by the govern
ment during its existence in fighting In
dians, but a conservative estimate makes it
more than $1,000, 100000. The government
has also spent during this time about $780,
900, 900 in governing and supporting these
charges of the nation, and is at present dis
bursting about $1,000, 900 annually for this
purpose 1t would appear that 1t has cost
about four times as much to fight the red
man as to pension him off.
