 When An individual contracts
 debt, which he IS unable to pay. un-
 til after the statute of limitations
 acts as a bar to its collection, and who afterwards, though able to pay, steps behind the statute of limita
 tions and refuses to discharge his obligation, he would be termed a dishonest repudistionist. An indi- VIdual who contracts a debt and afterwards recognizes the justness and legality of it by making partial payments on it, but who afterwards l discovers a technical legal flaw through which he can escape pay ment, and who takes advantage of | the flaw, would certainly be called l dishonest by the business world. So l far as this principle IS concerned, IS there any difference between the acts of an individual snd a com muuity;

 Our contemporary publishes Sn ( Dinion this morning, which the . oCRNAL-MINER most heartily en- orses. IL says: There should be v: } bond issues except by a direct n ,te of the people" In the light of g Ist experiences, there can be no fr )ubt of the correctness Of this U -inciple. It is correct not only in - - @ issue of bonds, but in all matters hi
