The Bankruptcy Bill.

at length there appears to be some hope
that the Torrey bankruptcy bill will reach
vote in the Senate. This is a measure
with history For ten years it has under
gone a studious and laborious evolution,
engaging in the effort to perfect it many
distinguished eXponents of the best legal
ability and business wisdom and expe-
rience of the country. In its present form,
probably, it is as nearly what such bill
ought to be as expert American ingenuity
could make it, with full recognition of oil
the interests, rights and equities yariously
involved
At the late session OF Congress ma
jority of the Senate judiciary Committee
was opposed to the bill, but at the present
one a favorable report has been secured,
and it should not fail OF action before ad-
journment. There will be ample time for its
consideration while the Finance Commit
tee is struggling with the tariff bin. If
passed, il would find the House without
much business on its hands, and in that
body probably it would go through without
any strong opposition. A similar bill was
favorabiy acted upon by the House in the
Firty-fourth Congress.
general law of this kind is urgently
demanded by the country AS far as we
have been able to ascertain, the Torrcy
bill will be acceptable to mercantile and
manufacturing interests in all parts of
the Union 1t will at once tend to cure
much unnecessary distress and many hard
ships, and to place commercial relations
upon safer and more reliable basis. We

Servant or Master?

In his famous explanatory speech, the
other day, Autocrat Reed was pleased to
say, In his easiest and most fluent man
ner, while reviewing the all-absorbing
power of the Chair: 1T is power that is
given to him by the House for its purposes
and its purposes alone; not for any selfish
purposes; rot for him to carry out any
personal desires or designs OF his own; but
to carry out the wishes of the House as he
understands them, after a faithful and
conscientious examination OF the subject"
Certainly nothing could be humber, more
proper, or more patriotic than these re-
marfs of the Speaker-Autocrat The only
difficulty is that like some other public
teachers, his practices do not invariably
accord with his declarations and precepts.
For example, last winter, a large ma
jority OF the House, including all l.It
signed petition asking, with the humility
becoming in servants, addressing their
master, that he would allow three days
for debate on the Nicaraugua Canal bill.
We are lot aware that, on the occasion
named, Mr.. Reed felt it incumbent upon
him to carry out the wishes of the House
as he understands them" We do not see
how he could acquire any better or fuller
knowledge of those wishes, than was con-
veyed to him in that historic round robin.
Nevertheless, he rejected the petition and
refused the desired hearing.
There is an explanation OF the apparent
paradox, which does not appear to have
Illuminated the minds OF many people, who
think that the despotic sway OF the Auto
crat is Inconsistent with the honeyed Ian
guage of his explanation. Therefore, we
beg to offer 1t, in order that the character
for consistency of a great and good man
may he rescued from the least breath OF
suspicion.
When the Autocrat states that all power
and dominion over the House, are given
him, Ito carry out the wishes of the House
as he understands them,'' he completely
comprehends and includes the fact that,
being himself the House, the whole House,
and nothing but the House, his wishes must
be its wishes, las he understands them,"
ipso facto, world without end" That
seems to explain the mvsteryl

Daniel wolsey voorhees,.

Daniel w voorhees, entered into rest yes
terday morning In his death, sudden at
the last, although not entirely unexpected,
there passes away a strong political and
historical figure in the life and national
evolution of the present and preceding
generations. Few, indeed, are the men
surviving him who can say, as lie could,
that in early life he was the friend and
comIJanion of Abraham Lincoln and
Stephen A. Douglas, and practiced at the
bar before jefferson Davis, when that,
also historical character, sat on the cir
cult bench of the United States. What bet
ter can be said of Mr.. Voorhees, than that
he retained the sincere friendships of the
martyred President to the last day of
the latter's life, although the two were
widely separated in political faith and
associations.
He was strong man in every sense. His
leadership OF his party in Indiana was
magnetic, continuous, and ii followed him
with devoted enthusiasm to many and b1il
liant victories; and sometimes, with equal
trust and confidence, to defeat. In the
Senate of the United States, where he
served for nearly twenty years, Mr.. Voor-
hees was distinguished for his capacity
for business. and his ready grasp of great
questions and affairs, as well as for the
gift of eloquence which marked lis career
from first TO last, whether at the bar, On
the hustings, or in the halls of Congress.
His heart was great and kindly He loved
books, nature, and his friends. In the forum
he was an adversary to be feared. In the
quiet Of the home circle he was hearty
and genial. His calling away to join the
great majority, whose army already in
cluded the honored names OF Lincoln and
nearly all the giants OF his own day and
generation, VIII leave a gap in the ranks
of those who participated in and survive
the political stnfes, victories, defeats, and
turmoils of the past forty years, that never
can be filled.

A State of War.

Several important current events have
come to public knowledge within a few
days, to reinforce the position taken by
Senator Morgan, that state of war;
exists in Cuba, and that. therefore, this
Government ought at once to recognize the
belligerency of the Cuban patriots.
First among considerations bearing on
the situation, is the evidence that the
Cuban army for some time has held, and
is fortifying the seaport and town of
Banes, on the north coast Of the island.
Before the war Banes was a place of
considerable commercial Importance. 1t
was the seat of large fruit trade with
convenient harbors Of the country, having
deep water at it's wharves and piers.
Here il was that the RoIoff expedition
recently landed, the steamer which car

WAS safely conveyed, under its eyes, to
the several headquarters of Gems. Gomez
aud Calixto Garcia. Under the Cleveland
regime, the chief reason assigned for
refusing recognition of beIHgerency was
that the Cubans did not control any sea-
port. That objection no longer holds.
Other events concur in establishing con-
ciusive evidence of Estate Of war; Al
though Gen Weyler lately announced the
complete "pacirication' of Piuar del Rio,
the Cuban commanders Dueasse and Del
gado have won signal ,.ctory in that

Sacred Right of Forest Destruction

The Chamber OF Commerce of the city Of
Seattle, ia the State of Washington, has
addressed a memorial to the Congress ask
ing for vacation of the February order
establishing three forest reservations with
in that Commonwealth, aggregating an
area of about eight million acres.
The memorial regards the order in ques
ton as a monstrous assaultupo the pride,
rights, interests and welfare of the State,
and charges that it was made upon the
representations and report of three IRE
sponsible strangers, after a flying visit Of
couple of days" 1t alleges that the new
reservations include nearly the entire min
ing country of the State OF Washington,
and that their permanent establishment will
involve widespread disaster to the enter.
prise, progress and prosperity of the whole
community. The memoralists denormce
the reservation policy as applied to their
country, generally and particularly, and
demand the immediate restoration OF the
ltSSi Htb Ntil'OOiy " tilt pu1iS
The principal trouble seems to be that,
in providing for public reservations, the
Congress has not yet made provision for
their utilization for mining and OF her legiti-
mate purposes, under proper conditions and
restrictions That ought to be done at
once Consistently with the natural and
necessary national determination to save
and conserve what forest lands have been
left to us by destroyers, plundererS and
fires, as few hardships as possible should
be allowed to fall upon the communities

able and intelligent system of forest man
agement, under Government control, all
the use that should under any circunl-
stances be allowed, could be, and, in that
case, there need be no cause for complaint
As between vital and fast increasing
public necessity and local interests which,
as in the case of the Washington memorial
lists, deserve consideration, the Congress
ought to be willing to provide measures
fer both public and private relief without

ury, appear to have exerted any very
alarming influence in suppressing COM
merce. At least thirty-five large, able
bodied steamships are reported as poughing
toward the good port OF Boston, deeply
laden with Wilson wool and other anti
Dingley products of foreign climes
Although facts like this may be unpleas-
ant to Mr.. Dingley, to the treasurer of the
party national committee, and to some
other beneficiarics expectant, they are.
contraliwise, calculated to bring a gleam
of hope to the people atIarge. One of the
most important OF the high protective WOOL
dealing houses of Philadelphia. that OF
Messrs Justice s. Bateman, is quoted as
declaring that it is nonsense to predict
higher prices for wooden goods, since AmeTi-
can manufacturers all have laid in more
than a years supply. One New England
concern has rented large unused church
and is filling it with wool Throughout
Boston and the manufacturing districts
of the East, every sort of structure is being
utilized to hold anti-Dingley raw material
In the face OF such movements, we have
the explicit, and no doubt sincere state
ment of Mr.. Dingley, that the mill in which
he is personally interested has not bought
a pound Of free Wool, $50 far as he knows"
much on that particular branch of the
subject, both he and his mill are greatly
to be pitied.
