THE BILL.

Congress, these days, offers a
new example of the well-tested
truth that the more a fellow has
to do the more he will accomplish.
In the midst of urgent war meas
ures of one kind or another break
ing into the routine of Congress
sional procedure, the two branches
have come to an agreement upon
the provisions of the long-post-
poned national bankruptcy bill,
and it now seems to be possible
that the work of ten years will be
enacted into law either at this
session or the next.
The chief point Of dispute Ia
the later controversies over such
legislation has beer as to whether
such a statute should provide for
involuntary a. well as voluntary
bankruptcy or should cover the
latter exclusively. The c~onferees
have agreed TO a measure cover
ing both classes of bankruptcy.
1t is provided that no person can
be thrown into bankruptcy unless
he is " insolvent," and a new and
restricted meaning is given to the
word. Under the common law a
man who does not pay a debt when
it falls due has committed an act
Of insolvency. Under the bill,
which the conference committee
has agreed upon no person is to be
regarded as insolveut when his
property, under a fair valuation,
is sufficient to pay his debts.
This provision gives the debtor,
temporarily embarrassed, a chance
to pull through without being
forced into bankruptcy. Invol-
untary bankruptcy is, however,
specifically proved in the fol-
lowing instances: Where
a man has disposed Of his property
with intent to defraud; second
Where he has disposed of his
property to n or more creditors
with intent to give a preference to
them; third Where he has given
a preference through legal pro-
ceedings; iourth-Where a man
has made a voluntary assignment
.or the benefit of his creditors gem
orally; hfth-Where a man admits
J in writing that he 10 bankrupt.

The Spaniard has won a pretty
tough reputation In the centuries
OF his existance but he Is hardly
to be charged with any such pur-
poses as some Of our yellow war
theorists have been trying to work
our Imagination with in the case of
Hobson and his men.
In a word II is not to be believed
that the Spanish commander at
Santiago de Cuba will use Hob
son as a shield. OF that the prison,
ers will be made to suffer because
of any feeling OF revenge that may
be entertained toward Yankee
pigs by the enemy.
Hobson and his seven comrades
are undoubtedly all right. No
one can seriously think otherwise.
They are not to be tortured or
Killed, and they are not to be stood
up to catch American bullets.
The idea of any such atrocity is
untenable, wen though they ire
at the mercy of Spaniards. On
the contrary, the Spanish govern
ment undoubtedly feels the full
weight of the responsibility for
their safe guarding. Even if by
any accident or sickness one of
the prisoners should die, Spain
probably realizes hat.explanations
would be demanded not alone by
the United States but by the world.
But Spain knows the value of
the prisoners. They are only a
lieutenant and a handful of sailors,
but to the hearts of the American
people they rank as high admirals,
every man Jack of them. The
Yankee is proverbially shrewd at
driving a bargain, but he is not to
get Hobson and his men back at
anything but full value price.
They are worth a premium, and
Spain knows it. Our government
has no prisoners of any great inn
port.nce to Spain, either as to
military rank or connection. Spain
cares little for the return OF the
lieutenants and privates, prisoners
OH our soil. These are bound to
be treated well, and probably,
themselves, have little anxiety to
be exchanged and put back with
the doomed army in Cuba. But
there is not necessarily anything
sinister about Spain's determine
ton to take her own time at bar
gaining for Hobson. If she is
wise, indeed, she will hold the
Merrimac party until our soldiers
or sailors have captured somebody
that is of great Importance to
Spain's army, or has an influential
following near to the Spanish
ministry.

The following paper was read by
Mrs. G. II. Brown before the Ladies
Aid Society of Unity church, Contra
liza, Wednesday, July 6, at] the home
of Mrs. Theron Lyons:
We realized that another spirit that
has made its impress upon society had
been suddenly taken from our fellow
ship and affection. when the tldlngS
of the death of Mrs. EStelle Jackson
flashed over the wires, just five weeks
ago to-day.
In eager quest of renewed health
she had left her home a few Drlet
months ago, only to meet In that lar
away state the messenger VINO came
to take her to the mansion which our
Father had been preparing for her.
From the inception of our society IN
til failing health prevented, she was
always closely identified with its int
erestS- serving on its first board OF
vice presidents with great efficiency,
and being reelected to that office for
d second term.
Being an ardent lover of music, she
also took keen pleasure in becoming a
member of the first choir formed to
take part in our worship, even before
our church society was organized.
Her spirit was gentle and chart
table. and among all her neighbors
and friends not one but mourns her
| loss.
Through the sorrows that have come
to her from time to time, her life has
seemed peculiarly sad and sorrowful
one, but amidst them all we can but
think she was sustained and comfort
ed by the God in whom she trusted
knowing that she was ready and
waiting for her summons, and had
| felt for many months that her work
here was done, and that only on that
other shore could she find that rest
and peace which her soul cfayed. we
can only bow in sorrOwful submission
and say
| Fold her. oh Father in thy arms,
| And let her hencsfoTth be

Our human hearts and Thee.
