Drawing the Line;
Mr. Piatt's endeavor to invjudice the
public nsainst Major McKinley l.v in
slnuatlnp that he Is In some dark and
hidden way opposed to a sound cur
rency and that, if elected -president, he
would uso the Inllueneo of his oliice to
unsettle business stability and encour
age apprehension, is a desperate last
card, the publication of which should
afford to Senator Quay ami other form
er associates of Mr. I'latt a just oppor
tunity to part company from him.
Their liRht has not been personal
against McKinley; it has been simply
political and stratcMic, without ut any
moment Including u wish to embarrass
the Republican campaign in the event
of McKinley's nomination. They can
not afford to stand in the light of In
dorsing such n mass of misrepresenta
tions and such nn output of bitterness
as that just fathered by the ex-senator
from New York; and, in fairness to
their friends, more than a small major
ity of whom are also McKinley's
friends, they should let It be known that
they do not subscribe to any such vici
ous tactics.
The conversation credited to Senator
Quay in which he is represented as
haVlnR recently counseled the with
drawal of opnu?Hiou to McKinley as
soon as it should become clear that a
majority of the; national delegates fa
vored his nomination Is much more to
the liking of decent Republicans than
this abusive? personal onslaught of Mr.
Piatt. T'p to the present, Senator Quay
has taken no step In connection with
the St. Louis convention not wholly
within his right as a recognized leader
of the .Republican party, jle had a
right to prefer Reed or Allison to Mc
Kinley and to work for the success of
that preference. He had a right to be
come a candidate himself und to solicit
the support of fellow-Republican! in
his home state. He had a right to try,
by fair means, to defeat McKinley in
the liopo of rupturing some of the hit
ter's strength. All these things are
part and perci 1 of the game of politics,
and are duly recognized as such by oil
the candidates who resort to that game.
No objection can be made to Quay for
doing ns a political strategist whatever
he could to turn the tide from the Ohio
candidate to some one else. While he
worked along his lines the McKinley
strategists were not idle along thelt's;
indeed, recent events conclusively
prove that they had, from the outset, a
decided advantage.
But there is one thing which no Re
publican leader Is. justllled in doing;
und that is in trying by misrepresenta
tion and misleading Innuendo to coin
promise his party or to Jeapord its suc
cess. It seems to us that it is the
height of Impertinence for Thomas C.
Piatt to say that men like Senator
Hhermnn, Ueneral Urosvenor, Mark A.
Hannu und hundreds of others who
have known William McKinley Inti
mately ull their lives and who of their
own free will vouch for his Integrity
and for his fidelity to principle me
guilty of falsification in their repre
sentations that McKinley Is u believer
In the maintenance of a currency every
dollar of which shall be the purchasing
and debt-paying en,uul of every other
dollar. Mr. Piatt's purpose Is not to
save the party from a mistake. It does
not need his counsel to preserve it from
that. His purpose Is plainly to try to
set the creditor interests on McKin
ley's heels, in the hope of stirring up
sufficient strife between now and the
owmDllnc or the convent on tn .nnll
lm to manipulate the nomination of a
pliant exponent of the currency contrac-
tlohlstB and bond-shavers of Wall
street who fear that if McKinley were
elected their grip on the United States
treasury would not be acknowledged
and perpetuuted.
It is a despicable purpose, and calls
(or emphatic condemnation.
. According to Professor Burgess,
there "Is no better established principle
In the law of nations than the right of
citizens of another power to trade with
rebels, as the Spaniards regard the Cu
bans, and this right prevails even where
the belligerency of the warring faction
ha kn.n ...inn.l.., 1 ) 1

trade with rebels in arms and ammunl
. tlon take a chance, and If they are
caught must Buffer the confiscation of
their vessel and all It contains. They
may even be Imprisoned by the captur
ing power or returned to the country
whence, they came. But they cannot be
executed unless they have actually en-
mini unuci iu vamivr vi am reoei
party." The sentence of death passed
by "eylcr'8 court martial on the two
American sailors of-the Competitor Is
thus shown to be cleurly Ulegnl. Muybe
Weyler wanted it to lead to war so as
to let him out of the hole into which
his campaign of Cuban assassination
has fallen. That would no doubt .be
preferable to having to admit his failure.
If Reed's house was a "do-nothing"
body, how shall we describe the I'nited
Slates senate?
The New Bankruptcy Bill.
According to the now bankruptcy bill,
which has tmsscd the house a volum
inous measure containing 16.0i)0 words
there are eight acts fr which a debtor
can be forced Into involuntary bar.k
luptt y. They tire if he (1) has conceal
ed himself witli intrnt to defeat his
creditors for forty-elvht homs: (-
I'allid for thirty days, while Insolvent,
fo secme the release of any property
levied upon for J'lUft or over: CI) made a
transfer of any of his property with
intent to defeat Ills creditors; Ml made
assignment for th benefit of his
creditors: .". made, while insolvent, a
transfer of any of his properly for the
pin pose of giving a preference; ill) pro
cured or suffered a Judgment to be en
tered ngulnsl himself with Intent to
def'-at his creditors, and suffered same
to remain unpaid ten days; (7) secreted
any of his property to avoid its being
levied upi n under legal process against
himself; (S) suffered, while insolvent,
an execution for $.1n0 or over to be re
turned on property.
Strong objection Is raised in the west
to this bill, particularly to the fifth
feu t ure forbidding u falling merchant
from showing a preference among rreu
itois. The Salt Lake Tribune states Its
objection by using an illustration.
"Kastern houses," it says, "send their
commercial men west to sell goods.
They pay no rent, no taxes, they con
tribute nothing to the support of the
state, they remain in a town perhaps
a week la the spring and another in
the autumn. The small retail traders
buy of them certain lots, but they de
pend principally on the wholesale stores
near them. There conn s a period of
depression, or there come losses from
unexpected sources, or collections may
be slow, when in either case the local
merchant needs, to save himself, credit
at the bank, lie makes the applica
tion and tells the banker that he has
no security except his stock of goods
and his word of honor that in case b!
shall be forced to suspend he will pro
tect the bunker llrst. It will not do
for him to give the banker a chattel
mortgage, as the knowledge that he
had would precipitate every other cred
itor to demand and to try to enforce
collectlrni IVy obtaining! the accom
modation, nineteen out of every twenty
merchants pull through, when without
It they would be stranded. hen a
failure must come," the Salt Lake pa
per wants to know, "who says the
local banker should not he first remem
bered?" It argues that should this fea
ture prevail, ba.nks would make no more
such loans and all merchandizing would
be relegated to the hands of heavy cap
italists. Another feature to which our Salt
Lake contemporary enters a protest Is
that section which enables a creditor to
force a debtor into Involuntary bank
ruptcy. "For Instance," it says, "a
man may be doing business on $:!0,000
invested capital. As he invests and ex
tends credit he may have $20,(100 due
him. It may all be good, too. Hut, In
the mean time, being obliged to borrow
money in order to keep on his feet until
he can make collections, lie does bor
row and give notes from time
to time until he owes In that
way Sl.l.ooo. To pay it he has
outstanding accounts of $20,000 and
his stock in trade. Now, If the debtor
were to permit one of his notes to run
two or three clays after maturity, the.
bidder of tlu mrte t ould. under thf
bill, foice liini into involuntary bank
ruptcy, and it Is easy enough to under
stand that before it was over the debtor
would have nothing' left."
Interviews had by the Times-Herald
with prominent Chicago business men
reveal much hostility to the present bill.
H. N. lliyinbotham, of Marshall Field
iS: Co., is circulating a petition praying
the sinute to defeat the measure. He
says:
"I believe, for many reasons, that theM
Khoul'l lie no bankruptcy law of uny klml
lir.st, because there are not enough el' lh.
debtor class who desire it, and if they !o
nut the crnlitor class certainly should not
wniit one. Tiie passage nf such an n',t
would restrict the graining of credit. The
eoii'lltion of the western country gen
erally is such thai the passage of such n
law would prevt lit our grunting credits iib
er.illy, as ilemauileil by present circum
stances. The Jaw, as iennulaled by tile
heme, does not provide for the abrog,i
tinn of existing slate laws with reference
to honistemls and exemptions, for the slate
laws are not uniform. In Iowa, for In
stance, a man may retain a half acre in
(lie city with all the wealth t'nal can he
put on it, or forty acres In the country,
and still go tlnoui;li bankruptcy and ;.-' i
Ills discharge. In Wisconsin he tuny 'e
taln n ipiarter aere in a city, or forty
acres In Hie eoiinlvj. In oilier slnlas (he
amount exempted varies from $."tO0 to .$S,ot
The bankruptcy law is fur the fraudulent
debtor always, ami It can't be micle other
wise. The honest ihmii doesn't need it, for
we can always compromise with an hon
est man. A man passing I Ii rough bank
ruptcy loses his cDmmerel.il reputation,
whereas if he arranges with his ereilliors
nmteahly he docs not. When an estate
goes into bankruptcy the business Is man
aged by the court, which does not appre
ciate the importance of prompt action. Our
experience of twelve years under the old
bankruptcy law was ihut we realized en
the cstal'S adjudicated 22 per cent, uf our
claims, ami in the twelve years succeed
ing lis repeal we realized on such estates
fai per cent. A bankruptcy law should lie
for the benefit of that class of creditors
who have fallen behind In the race for
wealth and desire to be released from old
obligations; but there are not enough of
that class to warrant the passage of a
bill."
These objections in the main un
doubtedly have some Justice behind
them. But it seems to us that they
could be removed In the senute by
amendment without necessitating the
bill's defeat. The need of uniform bank
ruptcy laws approximately falrto both
creditors and debtors, yet affording less
opportunity than at present exists for
the defrauding of creditors In ca3es
where debtors are deliberate cheats, is
thoroughly established, and It would
seem Hint the senate ought to ha able
bo to modify the present, or Henderson,
bill, as to supply this need without
prejudice or Injury to any honest Inter
est, Thus far, 150 gold standard and 122
free silver delegates have been elecjted
to the Democratic convention. As) 454
will be a majority and as the remain
ing districts seem to be somewhat
more inclined to silver than to gold1, It
can be Been that the financial battle
among our friends, the enemy, prom
ises to lie close and spirited. Which
ever side wins, there will doubtless be
a bolt; and this, of course, is a wel
come enough prospect from a Republi
can standpoint
In speaking of emotionalism as a fac
tor in polities. Walter Weilman recalls
that not long ago congress "went wild
on the Armenian question and passed
resolutions asking the president to
transmit to the klng3 and emperors of
European countries the protest of the
Ameilcnn people against continuance
of the horrors in Asiatic. Turkey. What
became of those resolution!? They
were pigeonholed in the state depart
ment by order of President Cleveland
They were never sent to the monan hs
of the old world, as congress had in
tended." The one course may have
been emotionalism; but if it was, the
other certainly was Imperialism; and
as between the two we prefer the
former.
- -
It is loo bail, of course, that Weyler
cannot have his own way in the killing
of Ami'i leans einiileti d by "drum bead"
trial. The lot erposition of the Ameri
can government and the prompt come
down of Soaiu no doubt grate on his
gory Instincts. , tint Weyler can have
the consolation of refbiting that far
belter men than lie have found them
selves bulked by fate many more times
than once.
-
The attitude of Kugland towards Cecil
Rhodes, if correctly reflected by Jlr.
I'hambet lain, seems to be that he was
itoniewhat gulity in having failed, but
that hi's too good a fellow to warrant
the saying of much more about it. That
certainly, lets treason down easily.
It is very Improbable that McKinley
has given, ns yet, any pledge for re
demption after election. He Is one of
tlu few candidates in our history who
have bec.n spared the necessity of hav
ing to bargain for their preferment.
Just enough has been done tills year
in the way of beautifying Nay Ajs
park to inspire the wish that Scrnnton
had ten times as much money to upend
on park decoration ami equipment.
The change from I-uich to P.oyer
in the chairmanship of the Ri publican
state executive committee Is one which
few Republicans In this state will fail
to appreciate.
It Is worth repeating that William
McKinley stands In the people's estima
tion in behalf of un honest dollar and
the chance to .earn it.
The Scrunton Ball club should strive
to achieve a more eiuuble distribution
of its winning capacity.
Mr. Piatt forgets that many people
have no use for a public scold.
CARLISLE SMALL THICK.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Secretary Carllsh; has sent to the s n-ati-
in answer to an inquiry for the infor
mation, a statement of the redemption of
tiie puMllr oebt during u.e tirst udniiuis
1 ration ut Air. Cleveland and Ihe' udmini
trallen of Air. Harrison. According lo
the tigmvs given, during .Mr. Cleveland's!
In m -VXv'i I. !."; hotniri were redeiineil an. I
the tiinouui paid in premiums on bonus
pinehased was $20,7 1. 1"J. Iniriug Air.
Harrison s admiuistralou &.Tx,l!i2in bonds
were redeemed and the piemlums paid
amounted to S:;a.S!'1.523. The' redemption uf
bonds din lug me duys of the surplus in the
tri usury has been lue occasion ut' a great
many lx mucratlc falsehoods. Mr. Cleve
land did jusl what Republican ailmiuls
I rations had done lief ore lie eaaie Into or
liee, and what was done was under ft",
publican luws. When the surplus In the
treasury gut so large as lo uil'ect the
money market, he ordered the purchase
of bonds. Tin- laws were not changed ;o
reduce Ihe revenues nt this period because
generally the two houses of congress were
not in accord, politically, and If the fact
that 2."iij,iiio.cii:ii -lb. p-r ceiu. government
bonds came due in liitl Is considered, there
never was any surplus worth spcan.ng of.
Instead of accumulating this money urni
holding It in tho lleasuiy until the matur
ity of Ihe bonds, w hich would have c.ins. d
a great contraction of the circulating me
dium and commercial distress, the gov
ernment obligations wore bought with it
from time lo time, and when the day of
Ihe maturity of the bunds finally came on
Sept. 1. Jkal. the bonds were paid oil', Willi
Ihe exception of 2;t.'HH',ouj. which were cx
ti i.iled at 2 per cent., and which, during
Mr. Harrison's administration told nt par.
This Is all there is of the story, but fur
I 1 1 1 ; !! 1 purposes, it Is asserted, that Mr.
Cleveland is emitted lo credit for having
reduced the debt ami Mr. Hairison lo
odium for having wasted the surplus. Tho
whole matter was simply an incident l,i
the management of the linanclcs of the
government.
AX l-ASV WAY OIT.
W. E. Curtis, In Chicago Record.
An easy way for the Democrats to get
around the silver question at the Cincago
convention would be to udopt a resolution
similar to thai which appears in the plat
form of IS:;2, w lien Andrew Jackson and
.Martin Van Jlureii were nominated. At
that time there was a wide difference cf
opinion in regard to matters of policy, nno
a bitterness between factions quite as
severe as that which exists 'between thi
gold bug and silver elements nf Democra
cy today. The committee on resolution
nf the national convention which met In
P.altiinore that year were ingenious
enough, however, to report n platform
Ihtit v.'.t:; snlileleiitly comprehensive to sat
isfy c'.l i'::ct!onn, and it furnishes an ex
ec!';'. iCLlel for the resolutions commit-
tc.- o It reads as follows:
"r;c:::lved, That II be recommended that '
the several delegations In place of a gen- I
end address (plulfornti from this body of
I he people of the Fulled States, make sii' li
explanations by address, report or other
wise to their respective constituents of I !ie ,
objects, proceedings and resolutions or i
Ihls melding as they may deem expt-li-i
cut." 1
Taking this as a model therefore, the i
commit lee of resolutions at Chicago might I
report something like this:
"llcsiilvod, That II lx' recommended !
that the several delegations. In place of I
a general expression on the tinanelal ques-
t:on in tne pianorm oi tins convention,
make such explanations to their constitu
ents of the views of the Democratic partv
on the coinage of silver us they may ib eiii
expedient."
KI'I'IJ AND Till- Viri-.I'RESIDI'NCY.
From tho' Philadelphia lltilletln.
Tom Reed regards 'the offer of the vk--prcsldency
with contempt. He Is not lo
be blamed for entertaining that feeling.
The olllce Is Usually the short-cut of
oblivion, and the mighty man or .Maine
Is naturally unwilling to have it tossed ut
him as a bone from the McKinley table.
Vet It would be a great tiling fur He
country If Tom Reed were to sit nt the
head of tho senate for the nex four years.
True, ho could not be so nearly all-powerful
there as ho has been in the speaker's
chair, but it would not be long before his
penetrating common sense his dynntnie
force of conviction and his tremendous
power over men would play havoc In the
cobwebs and moss-banks of tradition bv
which the senate has become unable to
govern Itself, nirnlnst mere hundfuls of
cranks and obstructionists.
The vice-presidency would not be a
short-cut to obl.vlnn with Tom Ucd
there. If tho Republican partv shall ever
iigaln nominate an eastern man for the
presidency, his light would be shining la
1M with Increased lustre.
1NTKRKS1 ISO IT TRUE.
From tho Wllkes-linrre Ilecord,
Hon. John Lelsenrlug has become quite
a llgure In state politics since his candi
dacy for governor was announced. A gen
tleman recently at Washington says hd
was told at the capital that tho-guberna-torlHl
beo had 'been put in our congress
man's bonnet by Hon. J. A. Scrunton,
with a view of heading off William Conuell
of . Lackawanna, who U alao mentioned
for governor. We would respeet
