not believe that any considerable number
Of the business men OF this State will sub
scribe 10 this demand. as all must admit
that there are grades In debts and oblga-
lions, and no statutory enactment can
change this axiom

iisyc that any man has natural. inherent
Tight 10 use his property as TO him seems
rich, and eSpedient. 50 long as he defrauds
no one. aSdIt does not defraud because
he pays Il an honest debt
AN assignment laws are enacted for the
benefit OF debtors and not creditors. and
debtors can avail themselves OF Its pro-
visions or not. as they, may desire. In other
words. he may pay certain per cent OF his
Indebtedness as allowed by statute and be
released from further debts. or he may
paw some In full at common law and as
sumo the payment OF the residue-and how
far he Viii be able TO do this is another
question which certainly does not afect
his right 10 dispose Of his property In the
way he desires untainted with fraud.
MANY of those who have, through the
public print, complained OF our present as
slgnment law on the ground tina, it per
mits preferences undoubtedly have not
read the law. for It specially provides
against preferences. Evidently their griev-
ance is against the common law, which
permits mortgages and liens, and not
against our assignment law.
II think our present assignment law
could be improved by preventing the as
slgnor from naming the assignee. and
thereby retain entire control and manage
ment Of his assigned effects, oftentimes to
the serious detrment and injury OF the
honest creditors | think a majority of the
creditors, in amount ought 10 have the
right, to choose the assignee so that they
might feel confident that the effects of said
assignment would be managed to the best
interest OF the creditors.

TRACY ON HIS ASSIGNMENT BILL.

State of Texas

Mr. Tracy addressed the house in advo-
cacy of his substitute assignment bill, in
troduced this morning. His predatory re-
marks were devoted to rcbul ing Mr. Evans
for yesterday making an uncalled-for al
tack upon the newspaper correspondents.
lie called attention to the fact that the
gentleman from Hunt had been accorded
more newspaper space than any other six
men in the house. yet he took advantage OF
the immunity enjoyed by himself as
member Of the house to vent his spleen
upon the newspaper men, whom he knew
had given nothing but fair and Impartial
r,ports of the discussion on his bill. FRO
ducing number OF letters from points outs
side the State he read them to show that
there was no one behind the Evans Dill

Legislative Notes.

Austin. Texas, March 9.-The last OF
series of four bills by Senator Rogers
passed the upper house yesterday aud if the
house of representatives concurs field for
a new enterprise will be opened in Texas
The bills referred to deal with surety and
guaranty companies. II Is understood that
as soon as the State recognizes these com
panies in the making Of bonds Of public
officers as does the railroad and express

their employees, one or two, and, possibly.

the state.

local enterprise in this line OF business.
Foreign corporations OF this kind are per-
mitied 20 do business in this state by de-
uusiting with the state treasurer $4,000
H. money. bonds or other securities, while
local state company must put up $4,000
IN actual cash and that in the keeping OF
the secretary If state, an officer under no
boud. The FIRST OF the Rogers bills amends
the law so that incorporation OF companies
for this business requires a deposit Of
100000 in the hands OF the State treasurer
said deposit to be in cash, bonds or other
securities.
Railroad companies are known to b.
Welfare. hence in securing themselves
against an employe. they select the safest
and most reliable method OF so doing. All
agents, treasurers and conductors OF Texas

company which is considered and. in every
case on record is. entirely safe.
Another of Mr. Rogers bills amends the
law SO the bond OF a county official may
be made hy these companies instead of hy
residents Of the county in which the in
strument is effective. and the other two
measures apply in the same mmler to
guardians and administrators of estates
Three of these ILLS have gone to he house
