SOME QUICK WORK,

The G 0 b 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 bill that
would take care chiefly Of involuntary
bankruptcy. They were anxious to Sc
cure a means of putting pressure upon
the debtor whereby he would 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
tended less to the relief of the unfor-
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 We're 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 We're 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 a notable political
success.
Senator Nelson's bill is criticised in
I 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 overstrained. 1t will be
we'll 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.

E. L. Hall, twenty-seven years old,
employed as a brakeman on the North

the union depot last evening. Hall,

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

APPLY TO MIR. MORRIS.
Persons Desiring to Take Engineer
ing Civil Service Test.

The extension of the civil service
rules to the employees Of the engineer
ing department of the government
opens another field for competitive en-
trance. Local examining boards have
been appointed which will take charge
of the examinations. For this north
western district, which is under the
charge of Col. w. A. Jones, Of this city,
a board has been named, Of which A.
O. Powell, Col. Jones assistant, is
named as chairman, and S. D. Morris,
of the United States engineer office.
as secretary. Applicants for positions
in the government service in this de-
partment should make application to
Mr.. Morris on the blanks which will be
furnished to all who want them The
positions specified include all classes
of mechanics and steamboat employees,
men used to managing and operating
machinery, such as derricks and pile
drivers, bridge tenders, lock hands, cooks,
and, in fact, vast variety Of employ
ment likely to be engaged on the gov
eminent work in process of cOnStruc-
ton or completed. This list includes
the lower grades Of engineering en-
plOyeS, of course. AT present in this
district there is little likelihood of en-
ployment, as there is no active work
going on under Col Jones direction
except the repairs of the dyke at the
Pine river reservoir which have just
been commenced for the season. There
is a possibility of the need Of men Of
various classes later in the season,
and, as they must all be employed I'M
der the civil service provisions, it is
just as we'll for those who want TO
enter this service to put in their appli-
cations at once. For this class Of work
no education test is employed by the
examiners the questions Of physical en-
durance and fitness and skill in the
trade being given first Importance.
Col. Jones is now making a tour of
inspection of the dams and reservoirs
up the Mississippi. The reservoirs are
now collecting water quite rapidly and
give promise Of being fuller than ever
before in most cases

Status OF the NickeI-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 a 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 TOOK

has tied himself up financially, it is not
a matter of public concern. But the
relief he is anticipating, Or rather the
source whence it is to come, is just now
and promises to be for some time to
come a matter of great public interest.
Mr.. Baldwin explains that he is not
at all in danger of bankruptcy; that he
prefers to borrow rather than sell
property under the depression Of prices
existing, but, and this is where the
common interest begins, "the passage
of a protective tariff will make all my
enterprises pay, and make it easy for
me to pay all 1 owe"
