That Smoke Nuisance Again.

To the Editor of the Globe
There seems to have come lulI in the eff
forts of city authorities to suppress that
insufferable abomination-the smoke nuisance
Notwithstanding the fact that we have a
stringent ordinance upon the statute books
declaring the emission of dense smoke a
nuisance and imposing the penalty of a fine
or imprisonment upon those who violate its
provisions, notwithstanding this ordinance i'm
poses the duty upon the police force of max
ing complaint against all offenders, and not
withstanding, further, that the chief Of police
is required in consultation with the corpora
ton counsel to enter suit against such offend
ers, the smut factories continue their dia-
bOlica work with impunity, and the help
less citizen suffers in property and health be-
yOnd measure. An impression seems to pre-
vail that the supreme court, in a suit brought
against an engineer of the gas company, last
year, declared the ordinance invalid. Such
is not, however, the fact. That suit was err
roneously brought against the engineer, in
stead of the owner of the plant. The
municipal court decided in favor of the
plaintiff and then allowed an appeal to the
higher court the issue that the proprietor
of the plant and not his employc should be
held responsible for the misdemeanor. Upon
this issue the higher court sustained the con-
tention of the defendant upon that particular
point, but without impeaching the validity Of
the ordinance. The ordinance is, therefore,
still in full force and the smoke makers may
and should be brought promptly to time
There is no longer any excuse or pretext for
neglecting this duty and defying the ordi-
nance. There are numerous appliances for
abating the nuisance that are entirely sue
cessful as smoke preyentives. while they effect
a substantial economy in the consumption of
fuel. Nearly one hundred of these devices
of various kinds are in operation in the city
and it is a fragrant injustice to those who
have complied with the ordinance for the
delinquerts to set it at defiance Under these
circumstances it is in order to demand of the
law and police departments that they take
this matter up without delay and enforce the
laws. w.

GAGE COMES NEXT.
He Will he Before the House Conn
mittee on MONDAY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Robert 6
Taylor, of Indiana, a member of the
monetary commission, was again before
the house banking and currency COM
mlttee at today's session. He referred
TO the tnadequacy of the banking facil-
tiles in the South and West and sug-
gested that for the present this country
must look mainly to Independent, small
local banks for the relief which is
needed, though he conceded an extern
slve system of branch banks might
have more effective tendency to
equalize rates Of interest
John w. Freis, the North Carolina
member OF the commission, sketched
briefly the prevailing conditions in the
South and particularly in his own
state. Mr.. Freis went on to say that
the people of North Carolina are clam
oring for money. He did not think
that this meant cheaper money, but
better facilities for the transaction Of
business. This, said he, can only be
secured by the Establishment of such a
banking system as will make it pos
sible that the people will get these ia
cilities. Mr.. Freis' statement lasted
throughout the day. The committee
then adjourned until Monday, when
Secretary Gage and ex-Secretary Fair
child Will be heard further

operation for eleven years. showing
that it was favored Notwithstanding
Its imperfections.
The committee have made exhaustive
researches concerning failures before
reporting the bill. It was learned that
there We're over 171,3 failures from
1879 to 1895, both inclusive, and the
total liabilities We're $2,611, 80. 7O4
The chairman Of the committee. Gen.
Henderson, says the bill reported does
not contain any provision for the MAX
ing of contracts, the measure of dam
age for the contracts broken, or for
torts' or in relation to the rights or
responsibilities of such persons. In
other words, it is not a measure for
the commencement or conducting of
business or of enterprises or of en-
playing labor but one simply for
winding up the financial affairs OF
oeplors VINO are silly enough to act
dlshonestly or unfortunate enough to
become fnsolvent and unable to meet
mature obligations. The statistics
snow that for the past seventeen wears
the failures of those engaged in bust
ness of all kinds throughout the coun-
try, have averaged per annum, but q
little over L per cent; or in other
words, about one to every hundred OF
the whole number engaged in business
OF every description where labor is
employed. Even this small number
VIII be reduced in the new bill, because
honest debtors will be protected
against unwarranted seizures in
the event of their becoming
bankrupt, and the creditors will be
assured of pro-rata part of their
uepts IN the event Of their failures.

TT CAV BE STOPPED

Never at any time in the past has
portions that it now enjoys in ST. Paul
There has never been a winter when
personal cleanliness was as impossible
as in this. The omnipresent SCOT pour
ed forth from our chimneys filters
through windows, finds every aperture
and crevice, sits over the desk and
office furniture, deposits itself over and
between files Of papers and documents
and descends like a visitation from the
Internal regions upon every person who
ventures out of doors. It is the I'M
exaggerated fact that man can today
travel from st. Paul to New York city
by rail without a change of linen and
find himself more presentable at the
end of that long and dirty trip than
he will at the end of a day spent in
his ordinary business pursuits in this
city. There seems to have gone abroad
an impression, which the G o b e has
already tried to correct, that nothing
can be done. The question was asked
of US the other day what new legis-
lation was necessary or what course
could be proposed in order to bring
about a reform. We answered then
that nothing in the world was neces-
sary except to enforce ordinances al
ready existing, and the point is made
still more strongly and explicitly in a
communication which we publish in
our news columns this morning.
A number of people seem to think

CoRBETT CLAIM REJECTED.
Senate Committee Decides Against
His Title to Il Sent

az ii seat.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-The senate
committee on privileges and elections
today decided to make an adverse re-
port upon Hon. H w. COrbett's claim
to seat in the senate from Oregon
The vote was 4 to 8, and was cast on
partisan lines except that Senator
Burrows Rep.0 who was absent, was
counted, upon his authority, in Oppo-
SitiOn to Mr.. COrbett There were two
votes, the first being upon a motion to
declare Mr.. COrbett entitled to his seat,
which was supported by Messrs
Chandler, Hoar and Pritchard, Repub-
licans, and opposed by Messrs. Gallery
and Pettus, Democrats; Allen, Popu-
list, and Burrows, Republican Mr..
SpoOner, Republican, was paired with
Mr.. Turley, Democrat, the former for
and the latter against the motion. A
motion was then made to declare that
Mr.. Corbett was not entitled to his
seat and was carried by the above vote
reversed.
The voting was preceded by quite a
general discussion based upon a report
prepared by Senator Pettus, on behalf
of the opposition. This report took the
position that the question involved is
practically the same as that involved
in the Mantle case, and that this case
should be allowed to stand as a pre-
cedent. Senator Pettus made an argu-
ment in favor Of establishing a prin-
ciple of action in such cases, and al
lowing it to stand taking the position
that there was danger in changing the
senate's course every time the politi-
cal complexion of the case was
changed

BANKRUPTCY BILL NEXT.
1t VIII Re Called Up When Appro-
priatiGIn Bills Pass.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The bank
ruptcy bill will be called up just Us
soon as the pending appropriation bills
are disposed of. The bill as reported
from the house judiciary committee,
has received general Endorsement
among the business men and interest is
throughout the country The report
which accompanies the bill is an ex-
ceedingly interesting one, giving a his
tory of the laws of the United States
on the question of bankruptcy, and the
great need of some uniform law
throughout the entire country.
1t seems by this report that the first
bankruptcy law was approved April
a. 1900, and repealed by act Dec. 10,
1903. A second act was approved
Aug. 10, 1S41, and repealed March s.
1843. A third was approved March z
1867. and repealed to take effect Sept.
1, 1878, by act approved June Z, of the
same year.
Those who were opposed to bank
rUptcy legislation, dwelt upon the first
two acts as evidence that they were
not adapted to this country While On
the other hand. it was claimed that
these acts were passed at a time when
the country was sparsely settled, and
the places for holding the federal
courts were so few, and the accOmmo-
dations for travel so imperfect, that
the courts were not available to carry
out the purposes of the constitution.
The committee find in its discussion
Of the acts heretofore passed, that the
laws became the subject of political
contention and were accordingly re-
pealed.
The expense attending the admins
tration of the law of 1867 and the OPP
portunities it afforded for demanding
large fees, is well known to many read
ers. These were the chief reasons that
caused it's repeal, but nevertheless it
was on the statute books and in full

Agricultural Appropriation Bill Is
Adopted After This Objectionable
Feature Had Been Arranged.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Att was the
intention of the house managers to
proceed with the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill today, but, ow-
ing to the excited condition of affairs
In Havana, and the wildly exaggerated
reports af1oat, they decided to avoid
the possibility of opening up a Cuban
debate by relinQuishing the day to
bills on the private calendar. Before
this order was entered upon, the agri-
cultural bill was passed. Most of the
day was consumed in filibuster
against bill to pay the publishing
house Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, at Nashville, Tenn,
$2SS,OOO for the seizure and use Of the
property Of that corporation during
the war. The opposition consumed the
time until o'clock, when the house
adjourned.
When the house adjourned last
night, the amendment to the agricul-
tural appropriation bill providing for
the publication Of another edition of
the Horse Book" was pending To-
day, the friends of the amendment
compromised with the appropriations
committee by agreeing to a reduction
Of the number to be printed from $780,
600 to $4,000. AS amended, the amend
ment was adopted, and the bill was
passed.
The resolution accepting the invita-
ton of the government Of Norway to
participate in the international fish
cries exposition at Bergen, from May
to September, 1898, was called up by
Mr.. Stmpkins Rep., Mass). The reso-
luton was adopted. Another resolu-
ton was adopted on motion of Mr. Per-
k1ns Rep., Io) directing the director
OF the geological survey to prepare and
have printed 10000 copies Of a map OF
Alaska, showing the most feasible
routes to the gold fields. The house
then went into committee of the whole
for the consideration of bills on the
private calendar

Element of this claim
Mr.. DalzeIl Rep., Pa.) inaugurated
a filibuster against the measure by
demanding the reading of the report on
the bill, which consisted of about fifty
pages the reading Of which would con-
sumo several hours. At the conclusion
of an hour, when Mr.. DalzelPs time ex-
PRED, the friends of the bill attempted
to secure an agreement for closing de-
bate, but all requests looking to this
end were objected to. After further dis
cussion and before disposing of the
bill the house at n'nInnIr "a in11rrnnd
