this charat ter passed the House at the
last session, and il the Senate should see
fit to adopt one somewhat similar, II ben.
eiicent bankrupt law may he one of the
features of the present Congress. The
bill which passed the House and the one
now before the Senate are very different
measures, however. The first was intro.
duced by General Henderson, of Iowa,
and contained many radical changes
from that known as the Bailey bank
ruptc" bill. The Senate Judiciary com.
mittee, after reading over the Henderson
bill, concluded that they would much
prefer the bill introduced by Mr.. Bailey,
of Texas, which, with few amendments,
was reported as n substitute to the Sem
ate, and now stands upon the calandar.
Should this bill succeed in passing the
Sena,c it might not suit the House; hut
many of the members o, the latter body
say they are willingHto accept almost any
thing i'll the form of bankruptcy legisla-
ton, which they believe is so essential to
the prosperity of the country. Mr.. Bal
ley believes that the Forney bill, which
is more in the way of compulsory bank.
ruptcy, would do the solvent debtors of
the country more harm than it would do
insolvent debtors good. While CONGRESS
is, however, quibblinp over details, the
need of II general bankruptcy law is be-
coming more urgent; hence it is hoped
all differences will be adjusted and such
Il measure enacted without delay 1t
would do Il great deal Of good to the bus
mess interests of the country, and no.
where would it be more beneficial than
to Southwest Virginia, where all who
are en- barrassed financially could start
with aclean sheet, and once more proceed
in the work of developing the immense
resources of this favored section.

. BANKR UPTCY LAW NEEDED

Congress has for some years been tink-
erng at bankruptcy bills, but so far,
while two have been passed by the
House within the past four years, the
bill was always hung up in the Senate
and there remained. In view of the pre-
vious era Of wild speculation and the
continued business depression, it is evil
dent that Il relief measure of this kind
would be of great benefit to the business
interests of the country. There are now
struggling along under load of debt,
impossible of removal, and which was
brought upon chem by II general misfort-
une towards which they did not contrib
That it would not only be relief TO them,
but on the whole Il great benefit to the
country, to remove the burdens under
which they are staggering must be ad
important subject seriously. The advo-
Gates OF IL bankruptcy law in Congress are
of two classes, one being in favor OF vol
untary bankruptcy, and the other be-
leving that compulsory bankruptcy
would he the best. Each side has its rea-
| sons for believing its own plan to hc the
best, and in consequence there i no
| agreement between the Houses, and no
relief to the country. y chance for every
man to start with II clean sheet in life
would be II great boon To the debtors of
the land. this chance, however, should
not be given AT the expense of honesty
and truth, bat rather il law should be so
framed that, while all oppressed with
debts beyond their ability to discharge,
should be allowed 10 take advantage of

ions that would enable men to defraud
their creditors under the prctcnsc OF in.

time would be able to discharge all their
obligations without injustice to them

A CONVENTION NOT NEEDED.

Wonder if some of the buys who talk
so glibly about constitutional conven
ton understand that such convention
will cost the State something like $780,
600, and that the State treasury is now
practically empty. If the convention is
held the taxpayers will be called upon to
foot the enormous expense, whether the
proposed new constitution I've accepted or
rejected 10y the voters. 1t is easily posi-
BILE to forn'a better constitution than we
now have, but il is more than probable
that ii constitution Matched by roliti-
cians and partisans and it is difficult to
keep such in the background-would
leave the taxpayers deeper in the mirc
than they are in the ditch
These great expansive United States
extending from ocean to ocean, have been
doing business for one hundred and TWEEN
tv years under IL little constitution, that,
in print, would about fill Il column in the
average newspaper. There are people in
Virginia, wise in their own conceit,
largely notoriety and place hunters, who
would delight in the congenial task of
making new constitutions 10 run for per-
iods of say five years each. 4 few sim
pie ten-line amendments to the constitute.
ton Of the United States embrace all the
changes that four generations of states
men have deemed it wise to make.
There is danger in tearing down the
fundamental laws of il State. There is
still greater danger in rebuilding the edi-
flee, especially when there are political
marplots bidding on the job.
1t is within the power of the legisla-
ture to SO amend the laws as To largely
curtail expenses without injustice to
anyone or any cause, and to largely in
crease the revenues of the State without
harshly dealing with any interest.
In indulging in a constitutional con
vention, we are certain of but enc thing

prove his assertion.
About eight months ago, enc morning
as the east bound overland was pulling
through the mountains west OF Albu-
querquc, N. NJ, Barnetts engine doing
tho work, a big. horn beaked owl dashed
against the front window of the cab
with such force as TO break it, the
bird itself dropping dead as the en-
gineer's feet. Though Barnett is not,
generally speaking, IA superstitious man,
this seemed SO singular an occurrence
that he stopped the train and sent "a
brakeman ahead to see if the way was
clear. Strange to relate, the brakeman
soon returned, reporting landslide
across the track in the mountain pass,
about 100 yards ahead Hands were
sent at once to clear the track, and in
removing the debris they found another
owl, 10 doubt mate to the first, caught

crushed to death in the fall.
