THE GENERAL sAxKRuprcY Law


The need Of national bankruptcy law
was recognized by the trainers Of the con-
stitution. and among the express powers
granted TO congress was one ITO establish
uniform laws on the subject Of bank
yuptcses throughout the United States"
Many abortive attempts have been made
TO put this into effect. and 1; is not 80 sure
set that the bill now before the senate re-
hating 10 voluntary bankruptcy viii be-
come a Law. II provides that any debtor
owing f2D0 or more may make voluntary
assignment for the benefit OF bis creditors
OF all his property except that exempt by
law. There viii no doubt be objection made
90 tho small amount which iorms the mini
mum, and the act viii be unsatisfactory
Unless the exemptions arc no more than
sufficient to keep homo or to enable the
debtor 10 begin life again and pursue his
avocatiou.
The provision that the law shall remain
In force only for two years does not seem to
DO q wise one. IL by that u meant that It
shall expire by limitation. We must have
. general bankruptcy law. and 1t will be
better to have one even with some faults
than be relegated at the end Of the time by
some accident. omission or oversight 10
the present condition. which gives practi-
czliy different law for every state. In
England where the subject has received
considerable attention during the past ftf:y
years. it has been found almost impossible
10 devise such a measure as shall meet all
the interests OF the debtor and creditor
with invariable satisfaction. but expert
enoe has suggested amendments from time
10 time. and the rights Of both are now
pretty fairly established.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8. 1896.

During several days tntimations have
come from Helena to the effect that the
AFFAIR between the council and the
water company i'm that city will soon
put on sensational proportions. Re-
peatedly rumors have been circulated
of twenty Thousand dollar bribery
deals in the Helena council in connec-
ton with water company business. A
committee of citizens was appointed
by the mayor. with authority to make
an investigation. This committee start
ed out the wrong way; it brought itself
promptly into contempt by deciding to
hold it's sessions in secret. That ar
arrangement gives widespread offense
and brings the investigation under
cloud at the outset. Meanwhile the
story is that the members of the COM
mittee have made several startling dis
coveries and that the intention now Is
to pack the whole business OF to the
grand jury room.

That DISPUTED Law.

Attorney General Haskell still sticks
to the opinion that THE license sections
in the new codes are all right. He
does not agree with the conclusions
reached by Judge Speer who recently
decided that the license law is uncon-
stitutional.
The attorney general calls attention
in a recent interview to the fact that

legislature.

corners.

He is a dull citizen who has not
learned by this time what the Monroe
doctrine Is and what II was intended to
teach. Volumes have been written
about the doctrine since the presidents
message was given out. Some of the
material is the work of eminent schol-
airs who are recognized among the mas
tiers OF American history.
OF course. President Clevelands mes
sage has its critics who argue that the
Monroe doctrine had a specific applica-
ton. that the conditions do not now
exist which warrant the government
of the United States in invoking It,
that 1t is obsolete, that men OF emin-
ence in public life-William III. Seward
for instance-have said that II Is not
longer in force, and that the president
Numbered when he undertook to apply
the message of Monroe to the Vene-
zuelan situation.
In instances this view has been de-
Tended with ability by men of recog-
nized scholarship. 1t can be said, now
ever. that the number of these critics Is
relatively not large. Most of those who
have made a study of the conditions
bring out a strong case in President
Cleveland's favor. This conclusion is
tersely expressed in an admirable
newspaper article lately written by
Professor McMaster of the University
of Pennsylvania. who holds that 1t is
our settled policy to preserve all the
republics of America, north and south
from foreign aggression, and never tc
suffer Europe to muddle with cis-At'
lantic affairs.
