1t is easy. now that it is all over, to see
where matters could have been wonder
fully improved and the republican cause
whether, under the conditions which eN-
listed, the republican party could pos
sibly have Won. The amount of money
spent by the fusion party was enormous.
The eight hour question was a practical
proposition which appealed directly to

they voted for what they deemed TO be
their individual interests without stop
ping TO analyze the motives of those who
thrust it into politics. Then again.
there were minor causes which operated
adversely to the republicans here in Sill

these may be mentioned the belief,
whether right or wrong. that the repub-
licans were being used to elect the inde
pendent democratic ticket. Acting upon
this belief. a vast number of republicans
voted the fusion ticket.
To attempt to lay the defeat to any
one man. or to attribute it to any
one cause shows either lack of infor-
nation upon the subject, or desire to
be unfair.
But whatever may have been the
causes. we repeat that if there Is to be
any reorganizing done, it must be by
those who, under adverse conditions and

THE BANKRUPTCY LAW.

E. C. Brandenberg. of Washington, D..
c., in charge of bankruptcy matters has
made his annual report as to the opera
ton of the bankruptcy act. The report
shows that during the year 10000 petit
tions have been filed, which sufficiently
attests the popularity of the act. Illinois
furnished the greatest number of cases.
namely 3OOS. Then followed New York
with 3007, Iowa With 992, Ohio S57, Min
nesota s45 and Pennsylvania 500. The re-
port shows that men of all classes and in
all walks of life and in every section of
the country took advantage of the priv
ilege of filing voluntary applications. The
law appears to have been drawn well. for
it is stated that nearly every provision
of the act has sustained the closest in
vestigations of the courts.
Some matters, however, are brought

Tt is a singular fact that bank runs
are, almost without exception, started
without cause. A few days ago. through
the circulation of reports that were
utterly without foundation, a run was
started on the Harlem Savings bank
When the doors We're opened in the
morning, more than 25O depositors had
gathered to draw out their money. The
only explanation that could be found
was that some person had maliciously
started a story to the effect that the
bank was unsafe. AS a matter of fact,
the bank is among. the soundest in the
United States, and was not embarrassed
in the least to pay all depositors who
called. Now the people have discovered
that they had no ground for their fears
and are taking back their cash. 1t Sc
happened that the run was stated just
before interest time, so that all depos-
itors who drew their money lost the in
terest. This Aggregated a considerable
sum, and the net result of the run il
some inconvenience to the bank. and a
cash loss to the depositors through theil
own folly.

out in Mr.. Bradenbergs report that
are of particular interes, to business
men.
Section sig. which relates to pay
ments on account made shortly before
bankruptcy as construed by the courts, is
encountering almost universal disapprov-
al. In the case of in re Fixen d02 Fed.
Rep o95) it was held that payments of ac-
count in the ordinary course of business.
made within four months preceding
bankruptcy constituted a preference.
and according to the section must be
surrendered before the balance of the
claim of the creditor to whom such pay
ment has been made can be proved and
allowed And in the more recent case of
in re Jones a Am. r. Rep. 56S) it was
held that the section compels a surren-
der of a preferential payment even
though received more than four months
prior to bankruptcy. as condition pre-
cedent to sharing in the assets. 1t is
argued that this section, as thus con-
strued will tend to unsettle buisness by
disturbing transactions long since past,
but the comment was made by Judge
Lowell in the Jones case that eff the con-
struction thus put upon section sig
makes it a real menace to legitimate
business, concerning which no opinion is
expressed it is from congress that relief
must be sought"

When the fighting was fiercest in the
Philippines and during the outbreak in
China a number of United States army
officers on the retired list, many of
whom, like Gen. w. H. Penrose, had
especially distinguished themselves dur
ing the civil war, expressed desire to
get back into service again. Still, the
adjutant generals department has on
file many applications for retirement of
officers who have served thirty years.
Under the existing law the president can,
at his discretion, retire such officers, but
unless there is most excellent reason
why an officer should not be required to
remain in active service all such applica-
tions are being refused. 1t is said to be
surprising how many officers of thirty
years service are anxious to leave the
active list.

SALARIES OF STATE JUDGES.


Mr.. C. D. Merrick. of Parkersburg,
Wes Virginia has prepared a statistical
table showing the salaries paid to judges
of the higher courts of the various
states This report shows that the high
est salaries paid such judges in the coun-
try is paid to the justices of the supreme
court of New York. the amount being
81 800 each In striking contrast with
this is the minimum. which falls to West
Virginia. the circuit judges of that state
receiving only $500. New York easily
leads all the states in the matter of gen.
e, Gus salaries for the judiciary, $10,500
going to the chief justice of the supreme
court of appeals, and $4,000 to each
judge of that court. New Jersey and
illinois are nearly a tie for second place,
the former paying $4,000 a year to the
chancellor and the same to the judges
of the supreme court, while the judges
Of the supreme court of Cook courty. H.,
receive about the same amount. Then
comes Pennsylvania, with a salary OF
$500 to it's supreme justice and $1,000 to
the judges of the court. 3oth Michigan
and Massachusetts pay their chief JUS
tices $1,000 and the supreme court Judges
So. 900, with $1,000 for judges of the su-
preme court.
Next comes California With a salary of
$4,000 to its supreme court judges. Rhode

F., terms the former paying it's chief jus
| tice 81, 500, the latter its st. Louis court
/ OF appeals judges and circuit court of
ST. Louis judges $500, ard apparently

with court of appeals salary of $1,000,
Wisconsin With a superior court salary

salary of s4,50o and Indiana with SUI
prem court salary of 81, 500. In a class a
bit below are Connecticut Ohio, Mon

In another class with top salaries rang
ing from $500 down to So, 900, are Della

Iy brings up the rear with supreme
court salary of $4,000, out the term o
