AMENDMENTS TO THE BANKRUPT
CIV LAW

In some sections of the country there
is a feeling that business would be
benefited by the repeal of the bank
ruptcy law. In a number of localities
meetings have been called for the pur-
pose of petitioning Congress to repeal
1t. Such a meeting for instance, has
been called in Macon.
Friends of the law are trying to have
it so amended that some of the prin-
cipal objections to it wih be obviated.
A bill for that purpose, introduced by
Representative Ray is pending in the
House. This bill, it is claimed by the
Judiciary Committee to which it was
referred, does not fully meet one of the
chief objections TO the law, and so
the committee has added an amend
ment, which is intended to meet the
objection.
The objection in question is that a
creditor who receives payments of
money in the due course of business
and without knowledge that the debtor
is insolvent, at any time within four
months of the declaration of bank
ruptcy, cannot participate in the assets
of the bankrupt unless he returns the
payments which he has received. 1t
is evident that this unjust, and it's in
justice is recognized apparently by the
Judiciary Committee. The Ray bill.
as amended by the committee, seems to
meet the objection to the law in this
particular.
There are no doubt some abuses of
the bankruptcy law but it is not going
to be an easy matter to get Congress
to repeal it. One of the strongest ar
guments in favor of making it perma-
nent is the differences which exist in
the insolvency laws of the different
states. The differences are so great,
and changes in these laws are made so
often that it is practically impossible
for business men to keep informed in
regard to them. A general law
for dealing with insolvent debtors is
therefore in demand. Business men,
particularly those in the large cities.
who do business in many states. are
inclined to stand by the bankruptcy
law, for the reason that they think
there is a better chance by means of
it of getting at least a portion of their
claims than there is by means of
insolvency laws.

THE BEEF TRUST ISSUE.

There is no shrewder political man
ager in the country than Senator-elect
German of Maryland, and he tells the
Democratic Congressional Committee
that it can find no issue on which to
conduct the campaign for the control
of the next House that is likely to be
as effective as the beef trust issue.
There is no doubt that the Republican
party is responsible for that trust as
it is for all of the other trusts. 1t
was the president of the sugar trust,
if we are not mistaken. who said, in
his testimony before an investigating
committee, that the protective tariff
was the mother of trusts, and the Re-
publican party is responsible for the
protective principle in the tariff. Mr..
German tells the Democratic Congress
ional Committee that if it will make
the beef trust the principal issue of
the congressional campaign the DEM
ocratic party will have the assistance
of the women of the whole country
and the women are a powerful aid to
the cause which they espouse.
An argument against the beef trust
is an argument which every one can
appreciate. 1t appeals directly to the
pocket. Convince the women that the
Republican party is responsible to
great extent for the exhorbitant price
of meat and they will make their hus-
bands and brothers vote against that
party. They will become more bitter
against the protective tariff and the
Republican party every time they go
to market.
And outside of the tariff there is no
doubt that the Republican party has
always been the friend of trusts. The
leading men in the trusts are Repub-
licans. and the trusts depend upon
the Republican party for such favors
in the way of legislation as they want.
1t seems that the Democratic Con-
gressional Committee was so much i'm
pressed with the advice of Mr.. Cor
man that it at once decided to act up
on it. Therefore we may expect to
hear a great deal more of the beef
trust before the summer is over, and
much Of what we shall hear will not
come from the court in which the suit
of the government against the trust
has been filed.

A distinguished Episcopal clergyman
was once called on to officiate at a
fashionable summer resort church, and,
finding only a short surplice and no
cassock in the vestry, was very much
disturbed at the thought of having to
appear in a vesture that 20 the frivo-
lous would look like a white shirt and
trousers, says the New York Tribune
But a happy inspiration came to him.
Why not wear one of his wife's black
petticoats? The portion that would
show below the surplice would look ex-
actly like the regulation cassock, and
no one would ever be the wiser. So
he hurriedlY sent one of the ushers
with an explanatory note to his wife
in the hotel. and in the nick of time
the petticOat arrived. The makeshift
turned out to be a perfect success, and
no one at a distance could tell that he
was not wearing a cassock. After the
close of the service he decided to go
out to the body of the church without
taking off his robes, in order to greet
some friends. And he was soon the
center of a group of fashionable wo-
men, when a green Irish maid from
the hotel came up, and in loud voice
said to him: Yer Reverence, the mis-
sus stint me afther her petticoat that
We do be wearin', an l wuz to wait till
We take it off "

The witnes. Did Not Care.

Gardner Lathrop is responsible for
the story. but he says it was told him
by another lawyer who occasionally did
some practising in Arkansas. says the
Kansas City Star.
The case on trial was that of man
for murder Just before the State closed
its case a long, slender-legged, lantern
jawed individual was called to the wit
ness-stand. He testified in brief that
he had seen the murder committed.
The lawyer for the defense began his
REORGANIZATION. The witness de-
posted in his cheek a piece of chewing
tobacco apparently as large as the
average persons fist.
You say" said the defendants
lawyer, that you saw the homicide?'
The witness chewed deliberately and
carefully crossed his. legs.
% Yep. 1 seen it," he answered.
How far were you away?"
1t seemed at least two minutes before
the witness answered. during which
time he chewed slowly and crossed his
legs three or four times.
Bout a mile and a quarter" he an
swered.
What time of day was it?"
Just dusk" he answered.
do you mean to tell this jury" said
the lawyer, rising and shaking his fin
ger at the witness, that you could see
a murder over a mile away at dusk?
How do you expect anyone to believe
that?"
The witness stroked his chin. He
chewed with exasperating elaboration.
First he crossed one leg over the 9TH
er, then shifted. He crossed and re-
crossed his legs fully a dozen times
and decorated the floor half as many
times as a result of the tobacco chew
ing. He twisted about in his chair.
Finally, when everybody's patience was
almost exhausted, the witness said:
Il don't care d-n for this lawsuit,
no-how."

A well-known peer asked Mr.. Rhodes
to stand godfather to his son, says the
London Court Journal, and he replied
he would on one condition, which was
that he might invest at once &100 in
the boys name, and give G100 on each
succeeding birthday, provided that it
should all go on at compound interest
until the boy was old enough to begin
to spend the interest; and that then he
might yearly decide on what to spend
it, so long as it was not on himself
This" said Mr.. Rhodes, will do two
things; first, it will teach your boy how
to spend money; and, secondly, it will
make him unself1sh and kind to those
in need"

How She Proved 1t.

Every Child Her Own Solomon" is
a text that may come up for discus
sion in some of the clubs after the
color question is disposed of, now that
little Miss Kohlsaat has argued and
won a case of her own, says the Chi
cago Evening Post. The little girl
lost a much beloved pet dog some time
back, and recently saw it riding in a
carriage with a handsomely gowned
woman. The carriage was going very
slowly and near the pavement, and the
little girl delightedly called her pet by
name With a whine of joy, the ami
NAL sprang from the vehicle, and,
running to little Miss Kohlsaat, began
jumping about her and licking her
hands for sheer joy.
You can't have my dog, little girl,
called the woman from the carriage,
which had drawn rein beside the curb.
but this is my dog" said little Miss
kohlsaat.
mo- it is my dog" said the woman.
I'm prove that it is mine" replied
little Miss Kohlsaat with the blood
born of determination and justice.
By this time quite a crowd of chill
dren and pasesrs- by had collected, and

A SHADOW ON THE CORONATION.

1t is said that King Edward regards
the great shipping combine as a shad-
ow on his coronation. He is angry
with those of his subjects who have
sold out the British merchant marine.
1t seems that he, as we'll as members
Of the ministry, were assured before
the combination was effected, that the
supremacy of the British merchant
marine was not menaced, and that
England had nothing to fear from the
proposed merger. 1t turns out that
there is very fair prospect that the
United States will control the steam
ship lines upon which Great Britain has
been depending for her commercial
greatness. Indeed, leading British
statesmen do not hesitate to say that
they expect to see most of the ships
needed by the worlds commerce in flu
ture built in the United States.
In a recent article the London Satur-
day Review said: zone by one our in
dustries are betrayed to the American.
Our oil industry is controlled by the
Standard Oil Company: the match
lTdQe, after SHdIHeIul eAnlDlllOH VI
incompetency, has fallen into the hands
of the Diamond Match Company; Mr..
Duke. with lavish expenditure, is fight
ing for our tobacco trade. No corner
of the Industrial world is safe from the
extraordinary gang of capitalist that
govern the great republic. Mr..
Yerkes, the hated of Chicago, controls
the London Railway service, and the
all prevailing Mr.. Morgan, is flnancier-
ing another syndicate to undertake the
tubing of London. Sir Lowthian Bell
may prattle platitudes and Sir Chris
TOPPER Furness prophesy smooth
things, but the fact remains that the
supremacy of the iron and steel trades
has been given away to America, and
will be finally lost when, by favor of
Mr.. Morgan, through export rates are
obtained by the promised cooperation
of the American railways with the new
steamship combine"
OF course there is a gloomy feeling
in England, and there is good reason
for 1t. The King and his ministers
seem to think the men who have sold
out England's supremacy on the sea
ought to have had more patriotism. In
| an interview in London the other day,
Mr.. Carnegie practically stated that
there was no patriotism that stood in
the way of dollars. He said: Trade
does not care fig for the flag: 1t is
dividends that count" The pocket
dominates. No doubt Englishmen love
England as much as Americans love
America, but that does not prevent
them from turning their assets into
cash when they see that it is to their
advantage to do SO. England is suf-
fering more from the commercial and
industrial war with the United States
than she IS from the war in South
Africa, great as the cost of the South
African war is. 1t is not to be Won
dered at. therefore. that there is a
shadow on the Kings coronation.

What the Little Boy Had lin Him.

A young teacher who was graduated
from the normal school last June was
asked one day last week to substitute
higher grade than her own, says the
Chicago Journal. She was a little
nervous over the temporary promotion,
and was anxious that everything should
go off in the usual good order. While
instructing the class in composition she
said: Now, children, don't attempt
any flights of fancy. Don't try to imi-
tate the things you have heard, but
just be yourselves and write what is
really in you"
AS a result of this advice one little
boy turned in the following compost
ton:
