SOME QUICK WORK.

The G e desires to give proper
credit to Senator Nelson, of this state,
for securing the substitution in
the senate Of his bankruptcy
bill in place Of the measures on
that subject that have been pending
heretofore. Ever since the repeal of
the last general bankruptcy act the
business interests of the country have
been clamoring for new legislation.
| That the old law was faulty, and, in
many particulars, oppressive, is not to
be denied. Equally evident was the
need of new legislation that should
cover the same ground without being
open to the same objections. 1t has
been found impossible up to the pres
ent time to secure an agreement be-
tween the two houses, and difficult to
win the support Of even a majority in
either. The creditor interests of the
country have pushed for a bill that
would take care chiefly of involuntary
bankruptcy. They were anxious to Sc
cure means of putting pressure upon
the debtor whereby he would be
obliged to make a settlement or be
forced into insolvency. Most of the
bills that have got far on the way to-
ward passage were unnecessarily
harsh, imposed heavy charges and
strict conditions upon debtors, and
were open to the criticism that they
i
tunate business man than to the bene-
fit of the claimant who wished to push
his debtor 10 the wall, and fees under
the old law were frequently so exces-
siVe that recourse had to be had to the
courts to abate them. Most of the
proposed legislation also authorized
charges that were severe and would be
improper.
Senator Nelson has made it his par
ticular study and interest since he went
to Washington to frame a bankruptcy
act that would lean to the debtor,
rather than the creditor side It con-
templates chiefly voluntary bankrupt
cy, opening a way to the hopelessly
embarrassed man by which he may
surrender all that he has and start
the world afresh. 1t provides for in
voluntary bankruptcy in such cases
as show a color of fraud or of attempt
ed evasion. The debtor is not permit
ted to give preferences or to otherwise
impose upon his creditors. If he does,
and if evidence of this fact can be ad-
duced, then he will be brought compul-
sorily within the terms of the act To
secure the substitution of this bill in
, the senate for the law that has been
before it and it's passage almost with
out opposition, was notable political
success.
Senator Nelson's bill is criticised in
| that it offers too easy a way out of
Insolvency and will tend to encourage
fraudulent bankruptcies. We doubt
the validity of the latter claim. AS to
the former, it is surely better, under
present conditions. to be lenient to the
debtor Credit has been too readily
given and is oyerstrained. 1t will be
well to have applications for it scanned
more critically. There is a good pros
pect for the passage of the Nelson bill,
and it seems to come nearer to meeting
public opinion, as a whole, than any Of
its rivals.

During the afternoon, there being a
suspicion abroad that the governor
might fail to sign the bill authorizing
the use of voting machines, a delegation
consisting Of George r. Finch and other
prominent citizens visited him to urge
the signature of the bill. 1t was signed
yesterday afternoon at late hour.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-04-24

strated to be entirely practical. BY
the use of the machine we get rid of
the slow work Of counting the vote, with
all it's possibilities of error and con-
tests. The machine registers and counts
the vote for each candidate as cast.
Furthermore, it's mechanism is so ar
ranged that it is impossible for the
same voter to vote for different candi-
dates for thefsame office, thus prevent
ing the errors that now invadidate
so many ballots improperly marked. 1t
has been evident for some time that
the voting machine would be the order
of the day, and we are glad that its
use in Minnesota has been legalized.
1t will not be long before voting by
ballot, in our great cities at least,
shall be a thing of the past.

Gov. Clough has signed the bill by
which city councils and boards Of coun-
ty commissioners are empowered to
authorize the use of voting machines
We believe that this is the beginning
of an important reform. The voting
machine is almost as much of an ad-
vance over the blanket ballot as the
Australian system of voting is over
the ancient method of voting by pri-
vate ticket, with its unlimited oppor-
tunities for corruption and fraud. Ma
chimes of various kinds have been ex-
perimented with in different cities at

the notorious ''plunger'' of the race

he owes the Hibernia bank $3.50, 600
and has just put a mortgage on hotels
and residences and ranches to secure a
further loan of $4,000 with which to
plunge some more. With Baldwin and
his good or bad luck we have no espe-
cial concern. If he has gone into

has tied himself up financially, it is not
matter of public concern. But the

Mr.. Baldwin explains that he is NOT
at all in danger of bankruptcy; that he

property under the depression of prices
existing, but, and this is where the
common interest begins, "the passage

Status Of the NfckeI-In-The-SIot
Machine Dubious.

The case Of George w. Dayton, pro-
prietor of the cigar store in the market
house, who is charged with violating
ordinance No. 424 by keeping nickel
in-the-slot" machines in his place, was
argued yesterday before Judge Twohy.
The attorney for Dayton held that as
the person who patronized the ma
chimes received equivalent for his
money the keeping Of the machines
could not come under the head of
keeping a gambling device. The case
is test one, several of the persons
interested in the machines being al
lowed to be operated having dubbed
together to have the ordinance tested
as to this point. Judge Twohy toox
the case under advisement.
