Jay GouLp modestly estimated his personal property at $500,000 and during his lifetime paid taxes on that amount alone.

Nor will this contest be confined to the halls of congress. The silver war is beginning to be waged in earnest in many different portions of the country. Up to this time those who favor tho froe and unlimited coinage ot silver at the present mint ratio scem to have suc- ceeded in muking ‘themselves the most widely heard, The Chamber of Com- merce at Denver has become prominent in sovoral manitestos issued over its name and calling upon similar commercial bodies throughout the silver, wheat, wool and cotton districts of the west and south to join in the effort to bolster up the price of silver.” For this purpose it has e a convention of delegates from those commereial clubs to assem- ble in St, Louis on July 17 *'to endeavo: to have business organizations and the people. 1n mass convention assembled, memorialize and petition their mem- bers in congress mnot to yleld thel convicetions to the seductive influences of public patronage, the blandishments of the gold standard advocates or the ap- peal of a subsidized press.” The south- wost silver convention, composed of 300 delegates, who met at Silver City on In- | dependencoday, gavo evidenco of their enthusiasm for free coinage, und for free coinage only. A Montana silver confer- enco has just done the same. The offi- cers of the American Bimetallic league for Kansas have put forth a call for a mooting to convene in Topeka on July 20 “to take such action as may be thought best to advance the cause of free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio Almost at the sume moment ived from Washing- ton asking for a national convention of the American Bimetallic league to be held at Chicago, beginning August 1, in | order to dofeat tho manifest conspiracy to destroy silver as money. The silverites, then, are showing un- usual activity all along the line. They are actuated by a oncness of purpos wherever they arve located. Their as- semblies and conventions, however di connected, show a unity of action which supplies the place of a verfected political organization. They are endeavoring by means of public demonstrations in every section of the country to make their cause appear to be popular and thus to steady the faltering attitude of some of their former friends in congross. On the other side of the question there has as yet been little expression of the popular demand. Certain newspapers favoring the discontinuance of silver purchases have long been hammering away for a vepeal of the Sherman lay but the commercial bodies whose intes ests require sound and stablo money have not been so energetic in giving voice to their wishes as have been those identified with the free coinage move- ment. A beginning has now been made in this direction by the New York Chamber of Commerce and it is highly probable that similar resolutions will be spontaneously adopted in many other influential associations of business men. The resolutions agreed upon in New York Thursday contemplate the ap- pointment of a committee of seven rep- resentative members to go to Washing- ton and to impress upon congressthe fact that the business interests of the United States demand an immediate repeal of the Sherman law. The campaign outside of congress has thus been commenced. The contest is to be carried on throughout the whole country. It is to be.a campaign of con- yentions, resolusions, petitions and memorials. Let every association of business men or laborers propare to make public an expression of their de- mands. BANKRU Y LAWS, The framers of the federal constitu- tion inserted into that instrument a clause giving congress power to estab- lish uniform laws on the subject of bank- ruptcies in the United States. Just why this authority was given to the cen- tral government has not been satisfac- torily explained. There are a hundred and one other subjects upon which uni- form legislation is equally desirable, but which have been left under the jurisdiction of the several states, Some of the colonies had had difficulties in appeasing the debtor classes when they clamored for stay laws or for renewed issucs of depreciated paper currency, but the fact that congress was in no haste to employ the power given by this clause is evidence that its urgency was not then felt. The demand for a national bankruptey law has regularly recurred after almost every period of monetary stringen Notwithstanding the frequency of the demand only three laws governing bankruptey have beon passed by con- gress and all threo wore repealed after a comparatively short statutory life. The first was enacted in 1800 at the solicitation of debtors who had suffered from the crisis just preceding. It was repealed in 1803, The sccond became a law in 1841 and was demanded by those who, weakened by the panic of 1837, succumbed to the stringency of the ycar 1840, This act remained on the statute book but two years before repealed. The third uniform bankruptey law ap- peared in 1867 in response to the de- mands of the war debtors. It was amended in 1874 and finally repealed in 1878, Since that time all efforts to secure the passago of a new bill have been in vain, While congress has the constitutional power to enact uniform lays on the sub- jeot of baukruptey, the exercise of that power lies inits discretion. The grant of this power isnot exclusive. If con- gress refrains from using the authority conferred upon it, the legislatures of the various states are entirely froo to regulate the conduct of bankrupts within their jurisdiction. The federal law, aslong as inforce, will supplant any state law inconsistent with it, but on its repeal the state law rovives if suill unrepealed. So it has bhappened that excepting some fifteen years, bank- Fupteies declared since the adoption of who has watched the conrse of public | of an | the federal constitution have been sub- jeet to whatever regulations the state legislatures have scen fit to prosoribe In Nobraska, an act regulating assign- ments for the benefit of creditors, became A lawin 1877, A new law upon the same subject was enacted in 1833, and the preceding act repealed. The decla- ration of bankruptey may procecd from three possible sources —from the debtor, from the creditor, or from the court of its own mwtion. The Nebraska law provides for voluntary assignments only. The law muy procced upon one of two theories: It may aim to divide all the property of the debtor among the ereditors, or it may go further and seok to discharge the debtor from his remain- ing obligations. The Nebraska law di- vides the property, but leaves unaffected the right of the creditor to any other remedy inlaw or in equity which he may have. It provides for the filing of decds o! assignment in the office of the county clerk, with the sheriff as tem- or assigneo. The creditors may select an assignee by following the mothod preseribed in the act, who, | after having given the required bonds, is placed in charge of all the proper! of the assignor excopting only that which by state law is generally exempt from attachment. A comprehensive in- ventory must be compiled by both the sheriff and the assignee. Claims must be filed upon a day designated by the county judge and uncontested claims are allowed without question. Contested claims are decided by the couct just as in ordinary civil actions and judgment recorded. No writ of error is obtain- able, although an appeal may be taken to the proper court. On the return of the inventory and appraisement, the as- signed estate is converted into money at an advertised sale. At intervals of nov longer than three months, the assigneo rveports the amount of money in his hands, which isthen distributed pro rata among creditors, with certain specified preferences. After the final distribu- tion the court enters an order discharg- ing the assignee. The whole proceedings in the voluntary assignments for the henefit of ditors aim at distributing the assets as quickly as possible. They contem- vlato only dssignments made in faith and inflict heavy penalties on parties making cony of property in fraud of their er 5. The point where the Nebraska .law fails to consti- tute a real bankruptey law is this, that it does not relieve the debtor from liabil- ity on his remaining obligations. It protects him and enables him to start anew when his estate suffices to satisfy the creditor: If his liabilities exceed what he realizeson his property, the de- ficiency may continue to hang like a cloud over hi o of ouncil is tobe congratulated lingness to accopt sound ad- THE Bk yesterday urged the prompt passage of a resolution calling upon the attorneys retained in the pav- ing case to investigate whether it bo possible to secure a special term of the supreme court and to take cvery step which the law allows to obtain a speedy decision respecting the city's right to proceed with the work of strect improve- ment. At its meeting last night a reso- lution contemplating this object was in- troduced by Mr. Wheeler and quickly passed by the council. The next step to be taken is that the attorneys proceed without delay to carry out the instruc- tions which have been given them. It is to be hoped that the judges of the supreme bench will grant the re- quest of the city for a special term if o sound interpretation of the law will jus- tify such a procedure. The day should be setat as early a date as possible, for every day's postponement means con- tinued loss to the city and enforced idle- ness to the laborers who would other- wise be employed. All the briefs in the case were, by the concession of Mr. Con- nell, to have been filed by Monday last. They must have been filed by this time unless the intervenor has been taking advantage of the court’s adjournment to gain time in preparing his papers. 1f the brief of Mr. Hall has not been pre- sented the attorneys for the city ought to oppose every extension of time. They can do nothing less if they follow the directions of the city council. Even with the convening of a special term of the supreme court the city can not be certain that the decision will be in its favor. If the attorneys have per- formed their duty the city has reason- able grounds to expect the case to be decided so a8 to permit immediate re- sumption of work., In case of an un- favorable outcome in the supreme court, etforts should not be diminished to find a way by which the Improvements may be completed at the very earliest oppor- tunity. NOTWITHSTANDING the ravages of cholera in some sections of theold world no serious approhensions seem to be en- tertained of the appearance of the plague in this country, French reports claim that there is no epidemic in the south of France, though isolated cases have been roported. A single case is also reported to have been brought into England, But the state and national authorities of this country have been exceedingly vigilant and the precaution they have established to prevent the introduction of the in- sidious disease have served to establish confidence, evertheless with the sum- mer solstice in full swing it will be wise for sanitary officors everywhere to be awake to the possible dange APTER passing the nocessary or- dinance the city council of Beatrice has requested the railroads to proceed at oneo with the construction of a viaduct over their tracks in that city. The re- quest is preferred with a complacency that is almost touching, but the con- fidence of the good people of Beatrica on the Blue is destined to receive a rude shock as s0on as tho railroad man- agers find the time to indite one of those letters for which thoy are so justly celebrated. T Black Hills people are growing vestless under the corporation methods of that section. The present judge of the supreme court from the Hills district was the attorney of the Homestake mine. They do not think that a man who bas grown old as a coppgration lawyer should siton the benelwtor determine cases in which his formef ffinployer is interested They petitioned for a railroad commis- sioner and tho gayernor gave them a political canous pagker, who runs a rail- road eating houseg gets all his freight shipped in freo #AQ for years depended upon vhe only railread the Hills had for aliving. They dd'not think he is the proper man to right the wrongs of the people ina controversy with his former employer. They dought to have a fit man appointed Wining inspector. The office was created’ to protect the 300 workmen who daily risk their lives while working in the Homestake mine. They were given the bookkeeper of the mine, who is moro interested in protect- ing the company than the laborer. If we understand gnything of the inde- pendent spirit of the fair-minded people of that scction they arenot likely to allow themselves to be thus corporation riddon for any great longth of timo. It already bogins to look s though the supreme court judge comvlained of will be relegated to private life at the fall ik steamship companies are now said to be actively co-operating with the officials of the Treasury department in the enforccment of the new immigra- tion law. So much depends upon the attitude of the steamship companies in diseriminating Dbetween desirable and undesirable emigrants bofore admitting them to passage on their vessels that this is a most promising sign for people whodesire dependent immigrants to bo turned away without discouraging the incoming of those who give evidence of becoming useful citizens. This disposi- tion to obey the law and to see that it is properly enforced will give more sali- tory results than the most stringont re- strictive law that might invite violation on every side St Louts, like Omala, 15 wrestling with the garbage question. Tt is inter- esting to note that the ocontractor asks but $600 per da 219,000 per year for removing the garbage for the entire city of St. Louis. An Omaha contractor asks an average of $168,000 per year for ten years for performing the sume serv- ice. And yet St. Louis is nearly four times as large as Omaba and the ex- pense of removing garbage must be pro- portionately higher in the former city The Omaha contractors evidently recog- a snap when they see it. ATOR SQUIRE of Washington has asuit for $2,000,000°0n his hands in New York, where, following the exampie of another millionaive senator, he has re- sided most of the time since he was elected to congress, . The persons suing claim that they furnished the money that he invested at Various points along the line of the Northern Pacific rail- road, principally in-Seattle, and which made him rich, but that he never di- vided the profits with them, as they in- sist he should have done. THERE is considerable dissatisfaction expressed among the enlisted men of the ji of the Taw pro- hibiting re-cnlistment of privates aftor a service of ten years or more. It is held that the law,ought, in any case, to D ) vho enlisted aftor it was enacted, and not to those who en- impli omise of r ! thirty years active ser ice. This would seem only proper and just. IT1S again urged that the enforce- ment of the new Nebraska maximum ate law will result disastrously to the interests of the Kansas City jobbing trade, and this fact is the basis for the strongest arguments against the opera- tion of the law. The farmers of Ne: braska will scarcely appreciate the log in the argument.

Thero was 16 hint of compromise in what the kaisor had to say to the new Reichstag. He went at once to the heart of the matter, declaring that the army bill as formulated by the ministry was essential to the safety of the empire, and must be passed with the utmost dispateh, so that recruit calls In the autumn might be made on the basis of the new bill. “Del ho inststed, “would in fluence most unfavorably our strength for moro than twenty yoars." No other meas- ure is to be introduced by the government until the issue prosented by the army bill shall have been definitely settled. All through the emperor's address there rang & noto of triumph, resolute, dominant and un- concealed. It was the peremptory voice of the master caling laborers to service, not the tone of o fellow-worker in the public interost offering wise counsel or zealous argument in behalf of a chosen yet fairly debatable policy. A chieftain who on the eve of conflict foels that tho battle is already won could scarcly have spoken with greater assurance of success. It is the kaisor's fixed determination to se- cure the peace of Burope by maintaining o German mil force that shall be not only formidable in itself but relatively strong whon icompared with the armies of other Furopean nations. His speech to the Relchs. tag affords renewed assurance that this policy will under no circumstances be aban- doned. 1f tho legislative body which convened yostord should fail to answer the imperial requirements, it would unquestionably meet the fate of its predecessor. Constant political tur- moil or open revolution are presented as the only alternatives to acquiescence in the em- peror's demands, To strengthen tho mili- 'y arm would be to woaken tho forces of constitutional government, as the opponents of the army bill in the provious Reichstag cloquently and foreibly pointed out. But the German people have evidently made their choice, and opposition to the majority would be regarded by the government's sup- porters as a sort of treason to the father- land. There will doubtless be a long and acrimonious debate in the Reichstag, in ich potitical leaders and party chiefs wi ve for future advantage; but the ma- terial advantages of the government can be fritterod away in a discussion 1 its essence can be nothing more s of a quos- sottled by the Ger- man people at the pol Von Capriviis finding difeultios in the way of organizing a government majority out of the wharmonious factions which make up the conservative element among tho newly clected members of uho Reichstag. The agrarians are said to be firm in their demand for protection and the cessation of the negotiations fora commercial treaty with Russia, and are holding back their pledge of support to the army bill until they get this assurauco from the chancel- lor. The Poles demand concossions in rogard to natioual schools as part of their compensation for the support of the army biil, while tho radical unionists and the national liborals demand the passage of certain roform measures. Ahlwardt and the anti-Semites will vote against tho bill unless they can get some auti-Jewish logis- Lution through the Reichstag, and the Schor- lemer-Alst centrists re insisting upon sreater priviloges for the clericals and con- cessions to the church as the price of their support. It s agreed that in some way Caprivi will ovolve 3 majority out of these discordant elements, but it will be an uncer- tain one, ready o dusert him ou provocation, so that he will not be surcof his bill just fn- troduced till it is passod. The proclamation bf'a republic in Greece will excite more sentimental interest than a like change in the goversment of many a country far more important in every respeot, save only historic glory and long prominence m the world of art and literature.

Tho Grecks huve long enjoyed univorsal suffrage in the clection of a legislaivo body somewhat like our house of representatives, to which the ministers through whom the king governed were responsivle.
