"Then is thy mirror false!" he cried,

And shifting it upon the ground, he

"Alack! Why is my lord angry?"
But the sight of her tears maddened

One can always tell the nationality
of ones neighbor at these tables d'hote

lean always has his ice water, the Ger
man his Rhine wine, the Englishman
his dark, heavy wine, when he can get
it, which tastes like half-fermented
vinegar, and the Frenchman his cham
payne or his cognac.
| And the customs are so different in
the manner of eating and drinking.
There is o profound satisfaction in the
meal itself to the Germans and Swiss,
who eat, oblivious of the rise and fall
of empires, duels and death. The
Americans always act as if they were
in hurry to catch train, and they

Although the honest-money democrats
of Michigan won in the state convention
by only a small majority, it was n vic
tory that gave Il distinct setback to the
free silver movement and will exert no
little influence. The free silver men
had counted upon Michigan as being
pretty safe for their cause. That ele-

IDENTIFY of electing the MISUNDERSTANDING
to Chicago. The voting showed that
they had reason for this feeling, but
there will be no consolation in this for
the free silver men elsewhere, who had
reckoned upon having Michigan nearly
solid in the national convention. The
good fight made by the sound money
democrats of that state ought to have
and doubtless will have an inspiritingand
encouraging effect upon such democrats
in other states where conventions are to
be held. 1t should have good results
in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, where con

AS TO UNIFORM BANKRUPTCY.

The house of representatives. has en-
tered upon the consideration of the
bankruptcy bill reported by the com
mittee IN Judiciary, with the under
standing that a final vote on the meas
ure shall be taken Saturday. This bill
provides for both voluntary and invOl-
untary bankruptcy and has been drawn
with very great care. No doubt is felt
that it will pass the house by a large
majority. AS to the senate, the situa-
ton regarding bankruptcy legislation
is said to be as favorable as could well
be expected. A canvass of that body
shows that the opponents of the bill
cannot count a majority and while they
may obstruct they are not strong enough
to defeat the bill. The senate also has
II measure, reported by its judiciary
committee, providing for voluntary
bankruptcy, but as now appears there
is no hope for his bill, although it is
very much less Objectionable than the
bill passed by the house in the last con-
gress providing for voluntary bank
ruptcy.
The supporters of the house measure
will rely upon the arguments presented
in the report of the judiciary committee.
1t is there urged that Il bankruptcy law
is needed and that the passage of the
bill recommended by the committee
would tend to restore confidence to the
members of the commercial and indus
trial world in their dealings with each
other, thereby preventing great num-
bprs of failures which are now made
by men who are in reality solvent and
who, If ided Over their present diff
culties, would be enabled to be-
come financially useful, instead of
being relegated to the army of
in~solvents. The report answers
most convincingly the objections
that have been made to Il law providing
for both voluntary and involuntary
bankruptcy and shows conclusively the
desirability of n uniform system, in the
interest as we'll of honest debtors as of
creditors. 1t is pointed out that under
present laws if IL debtor is suspected of
being in the throes of financial death
the creditor who happens to learn of
it PUSHES in with compulsory process
and secures a lien on his estate, as
against all the creditors with equal
rights. A uniform bankruptcy law would
secure the rights of all the creditors
in every ease. The assumption that a
uniform bankruptcy law would be I'M
just to debtors Is denied. Debtors are
now liable to their creditors for the
amounts due. They would not be liable
to them on any other ground under a
bankruptcy law. Creditors now have
individual remedies against their debt
ors. Under IL bankruptcy law they
would have n collective remedy, but
only to the same extent.
There is practical unanimity among
those who have given this subject in
telligent and unprecedented considera-
ton that the various and contradictory
state bankruptcy laws are objectionable
in the treatment of both creditors
and debtors. They fail to pre-
serve the equities between diff
ferent creditors and they gen.
orally do not leave debtors in n position
to enable them to make the most of
their earning capacity and thereby re-
habilitate themselves in the business
world. The results under the opera
ton OF these state laws are for the most
