GOOD ADVICE TO MERCHANTS.

In a recent address before the Mich
igan Hardware Convention, Mr.. r. j.
C.eland, of the Commercial Credit Co.,
o. Detroit, speaking of the bankruptcy
law, gave some excellent advice to mer-
chants in general Mr.. Cleland believes
that "the merchant who insists upon
prompt and frequent settlements of ac-
counts is more respected, and loses 1T
tie. IL any. trade by such methods.
Accounts do not become worthle S
during the time the debtor is trading
with you. They become worthless and
unecllectible because the debtor gets
behind, because of your laxity in not
insisting upon payment when you
should do so. Once behind, his income
is not large enough to meet his family
expenses and liquidate your claim at
,he same time. Then he tells you that
his family must be taken care OF II
you never get your pay
After reviewing bankruptcy legisla-
ton in Europe and the present law in
the United States, Mr.. Gleland makes
these pertinent general remarks:
Formerly TIE laws We're much in favor
of the creditors; now it IS very much the
other way. and the debtor has much pro-
lection to which some Of lis think ne Is
not entitled. Howeser. the change from
r.he- laus- BY which there was imprison-
ment Cor debt was a commendable one.
and was undoubtedly the result of the eS-
perience of great commercial countries.
II does not seem reasonable to shut
man up because he owes you. when, If he
were at liberty he might find remunera-
tive work and pay you, or by working
might subject himself to the process of
the law so that you could force him. to
pay if he were unwilling. assuming. of
course that laws are provided for reach
ing unwilling debtors.
However, there IS some merit to laws
such as they have in England to-day.
The neral effect IS to teach people to live
within their means. ard this explains the
fact that there is but very little actual
use for such stringent laws in England.
Tt also explains how debts may be reYov-
cred at such uifiiSg expense in those
countries. When l say to .ou thn! the
usual rate for making collections in Eng
land does not exceed > per cent, and that
= professional collector is unknown, YOU
viii appreciate that sueh laws are not
wholly to be condemned.
Then, again. the enormous amount that
is annually lest 10 the business world
through the BANKRUPT. the deldbeat and
the persons who. perhaps not wilfvllE.
bat through misfortune or otherwise, live
beyond their means, This magnificent
amount mus; he paid by the more frugal
ard substantial.
They pay il in the added price which the
merchant must necessarily charge. FOR
this reason ! say to you that the laws We
have are az yet far from being equitable
as between the consuming classes. to say
nothing of the equities between the sellers
IF merchandise and those who consume
but do not pay.

a NEW THING IN CORRUPTION

A NEW THING IN CORRUPTION.
There are sh ysters and shysters in the
legal profession and most people are
familiar with the methods Of these
buzzards of the law who lie in wait
for victims, who may innocently make
technical slips and lay themselves liza
BILE to damage suits. working up sueh
suits for a percentage of what there
is in it." But something entirely
novel in this line of enterprise has
been brought to light in an eastern
city in a suit against traction COM
pany for damages, in which 1t was
shown that the motorman of the car
that inflicted the damage was in col
fusion with the lawyer who brought
the suit against the company and pur-
posely ran down the plaintiff who was
injured. The motorman after the "ae-
cident" handed to his victim the card
of a notorious shyster.
The unspeakable nangers-on of the
legal profession who engage in this
sort of work have already been named
They are called ambulance chasers.
An ambulance chaser as defined by The
Chicago Chronicle, is real or pre-
tended lawyer who ruas after injured
persons or their kin or friends to Sc
cure the right TO bring a damage suit
against the injury-inflicting corpora
ton" And our contemporary adds
truly that against such villainy the
victims have no adequate redress. The
injured persons and the traction cor
poratlon alike suffer at his hands. The
bar ought to do something to purge
its ranks. however. Of stripe of OBJ
noxious practitioner who violates every
Q lie procession in resorting to
dishonorable and immoral means to
pick up fees he is incapable of earning
honorably.

that it was Captain Barr and his crew
that did, the trick and that they could
have taken the Shamrock ana won.
At any rate the American boat and
American seamanship Won and Amer

Wednesdays being the fastest on
record-and for interest ana excite
ment They were the hottest contests
ever pulled OF and the fairest and
squarest, there being absolutely no I'M
fair jockeying, nor any other cireum-
stance to mar the races, and the con-
testants part holding each other in
high respect and esteem. In fact, Sir
Tom Upton is hardly more popular on
the other side than he IS on this.
He failed to lift the cup. but he car
ries off Americas high regard and best

death of a prominent American, the
country is being flooded with fictitious

cy. Murat Halstead prepared a brief

campaign purposes. This work is now
being offered to newspapers at job lot
prices for use as premiums, and some
publications have purchased this cam

"a complete life of William Mckinley,

Halstead to issue the following circu-
