Pass the Torrey Bankruptcy Bill.

1t is intimated in advices from Wash
ington that congress at its present ses-
sion may pass the Torrey bankruptcy
bill. 1t viii almost certainly do so at
the regular session, if not before. The
Torrey bill has thrice passed the house
but although favored by a majority of
the senators, has in each instance
failed in the senate, partly because Of
a press of other business and partly
because a talkative minority has
sought to twist it into an instrument
for the spoliation of creditors.
This minority wishes to eliminate
from the Torrey bill all provision for
involuntary bankruptcy, that is, bank
ruptcy owing to legal initiative by
creditors, and limit the bill to Volun-
tary bankruptcy only, or relief sought
by the debtor on his own impulse, 1t

In Honor of the Brave.

Now that the grand jury and the
county commissioners have provided
for Il suitable monument to commem-
crate the heroism of the county's fallen

The Swallow Verdict.

The verdict in the first of the series
of libel suits instituted in the courts of
Dauphin county against Rev Dr.
Swallow is far from satisfactory. mot
guilty but pay the costs" means that
in the jury's opinion the defendant was
guilty to a certain extent, although
not to the extent charged in the in
dictment. Such a finding is fair to
neither side. Either the clergyman
editor libeled the Soldiers Orphan com
mission in alleging that it paid eight
times as much for certain supplies as
those supplies could have been pur-
chased for in open market or else he
didn't.
The evidence presented in court GER
tainly did not sustain this charge and
in no particular did it fasten on the
commission the suspicion Of dishonest
purpose. The most that it established
was that an employe of the commits
sion at one time received a present of
$25 from contractor Surely this was
a slender foundation for a wholesale
attack upon the characters of the gen
tlemen who compose this responsible
commission. Not even the high call
ing of the press in its function as a
public safeguard warrants the drawing
of sweeping and slanderous conclu-
sons from such a petty basis of fact
Fortunately. the verdict of this jury
IS of slight Importance compared witt

THE BLOCKADE OF CRETE.

There can hardly be- a question: we

nounccd by the six powers representing
what is humorously called European
concert" Clearly the United States Is
under no sort of obligation to recognize
such a blockade. We are at peace with
both Greece and Turkey. Greece and
Turkey are theoretically at peace with
each other. The powers pretend to be ut
peace with all the world. There Is abso-
lutely no condition of affairs requiring us
to assent to the blockade now under con-
sdcration.
I'll:
As for the blockade itself, it is wicked

waited by the fact that It is the work Of
Christian powers intended to uphold a
pagan empire over a Christian communi-

be the only victims. They are held in

A Legislature is never complete with
out ore or two petitions for new copn-
ties somewhere in the State. The Scot
land county case was present with every
General Assembly for many years, but
that is now dead-killed by the voters of
the territory concerned. In place of it, it
is said that an effort will be made this
time to have a new county formed of por-
tions of Edgecombe and Nash, with
Rocky Mount as the county seat.
