The Bnnkruptcy BIII.

There is some speculation as 20 whether
the Senate viii pass the bankruptcy
bill. which passed the House last week
Il ought TO DO 50. ana that. too. before
adjournment The passing OF this bin
IS the one good thing that the lower
branch Of this do-nothing congress has
done.
The country has long needed a good
bankruptcy law. Il has not had such a
law since ISIS when the act Of 1851 was
repealed. That law was repealed. not be-
cause bankruptcy law was not needed.
but because il was very faulty. Its chief
fault was that it permitted bankrupt es-
tates TO remain in the hands of the courts
until they were eaten uo by fees.
The bill now pending in congress avoids
that fault II provides for the prompt
settlement Of claims and distribution OF
assets, and the fees that are permitted
20 be charged are small.
The absence Of bankruptcy law has
been great hinderance TO business IN
all parts of the country. Merchants have
found 1t difficult to collect legitimate
claims. owing largely to conflicting laws
in different states. The pending bill would
do away with much of the trouble which
merchants IN one state now have in col
lecting claims in other states. There is
nothing in the bill which an honest debtor
could object to. a dishonest debtor would
object to anything intended to make him
pay his obligations
The bill provides for both voluntary
and involuntary bankruptcy. In the
House there was considerable opposition
to the involuntary features, but common
sense prevailed. and the bill was passed
with that feature retained
The bin is substantially the Torrey bill
which has been before congress for years,
and which has been appEPved by boards of
trade and other commercial bodies in all
parts of the country. Lawyers and mer-
chants are familiar with its features. If
the Senate appreciates fully the needs of
the commercial interests of the country
it Will pass the bill promptly as it came
from the House.

Gen. Putnam ana Mai. Small.

to John Trumbull, while the artist was

battle of Bunker Hill. Major Small is
the British officer seen in the center of
the painting, turning aside the bayonet of
a grenadier who is about to pierce the dy

When the British troops advanced on
the redoubt for the second time, Small,
with Other officers, was in the lead en-
couraging his men. They had advanced
nearly 10 the breastwork when Volley
was poured in upon them which was ter
ribly effective The British troops fell
back, and when Small looked around not
an officer was left standing. He glanced

up for lost. Al this moment General Put

French and Indian war, rushed forward
and striking up with his sword the muz-

His Rcd-Headed Honor's Say.

For the purpose of this tale, says the
San Francisco Examiner, it must be re-
membered that Judge Coffey has red hair.
Perhaps the shade is more properly term

in early days was light of the superior

a trick of emphasizing his periods with
an uplifted forefinger and, after defining
his views, ended up very soiemnly:
Il see around me many gray-haired
lawyers, whose opinions l have no doubt

At this juncture Judge Coffey leaned
over the desk and in his mildest tones
interrupted:

and your reference to gray-haired men is
very appropriate; but I'd. like to remind
you there's a red-headed man whose

NC worId,s Interest in sonth Africn

Placed in the center of the southern
hemisphere, says Prof. Brice in the May
Century, many thousands of miles from
any other civilized community, and with
a civilized population still extremely
small in proportion to its vast area. South
Africa has only just begun to excite the
curiosity and interest of mankind
Twenty years ago even England seldom
thought of her remote colony. except
when some kaftir war compelled the
despatch of imperial troops; and the rest
of the world scarcely noted its existence.
Now the discovery of extraordinary min
eral wealth, a passionate struggle of
races, and the possibility that the clashing
interests of great nations may, come to
mingle in that struggle have drawn all
eyes to the southern extremity of the At
rican continent-a continent the greater
part of which was UNEMPLOYED fifty years
ago, and which even twenty-five years
ago was an object of Indifference to those
European powers which have of late been

the house to be painted in strips of vivid

A Nuisance.

There is great deal of com
plant of the odor arising from

Gerry Company building. We don't
know whether or not the odor indicates
that there is matter in the ruins which
is detrimental to the public health, but
we do know that the odor is offensive.
particularly at night. and that the source
Of it should be declared a nuisance and
speedily abated.
AS far as we can see there is no good
reason why hundreds of people should
be afflicted by this nuisance any longer
than is absolutely necessary. Certainly
since the fire there has been time enough
to have removed whatever causes the
offensive smell. There is plenty of labor
obtainable
As rule, the people of Savannah are
not very aggressive in their protest
against nuisance, but some of them are
losing patience in respect to the nuisance
to which we are calling attention. And
it may be that the nuisance is hurtful
to the public health. 1t certainly can
not be beneficial.
The authorities should look after this
matter at once. By doing so they will
win the thanks of good many people.
