TIIK NEW TfKAtt.
The advent of the now year opens up
a vast field of speculation. Wo are in
the midst of an era of commercial inac
tivity and industrial depression which
usually fellows a period of unusual pros
perity. In the midst of peace and plenty
there are thousands in the industrial
conlers who are without employment ,
and without moans of aubiUtoneo. The
west alone , with its marvellous produc
tiveness , has withstood the oflecls of de
pression. Tito fertile prairies of lllinuis ,
Iowa , Kansas and Nebraska still afford
ample means to feed , clothe and house
every man and woman willing to work.
Compared with the states on the Atlantic
seaboard this flection of the country has
certainly boon blessed with prosperity.
And so Ifar as wo can look ahead ,
.ho future promises to bring
; rcator prosperity to the west than over ,
mmigration is still pouring in , and out
illagos , towns and cities still continue k
; row and improve.
The presidential campaign may still fur.
her depress trade in the east , but wo arc
lot likely to fool its oflbct west of the
Mississippi. Our grain and cattle
will find a ready market , no matter wlial
ho outcome of the presidential contcsl
may ho.
Omaha especially starts out on UK
ow year [ with brighter prospects than
ho over had boforo. During the ycai
iho has had * a wonderful growth , but the
oming year will eclipse anything thai
lias over boon known. Contracts are ul
oady made for public improvements in
volving an outlay of half a million del
ors , to bo begun early in the spring , ant
t is safe to predict that moro than
double that sum will bo expended nexl
ioason in grading , pnving , sewerage ant
ithor improvements. More solid build-
ngs will bo erected this year than dur
ng any three years previous. Fully i
million dollars Trill bo expended durinj
.ho coming spring in the establishment o
stock-yards and packing-houses.

A NATIONAL llANKHUl'T LA W.
Since the repeal of the old nationa
bankrupt law , which was enacted at thi
utbrcak of the war and served its pur
pose in i'a day , a general desire has ansoi
n commercial circles for a now law tha
would moot the wants of the present day
Time. Such n bill has boon framed by Judgi
Lowell , of the United States Now Eng
and circuit , and is now before botl
iiousos of congress. Judge Lowell ii
icrhaps as competent to deal with tin
question as any man in America. Hi
was district judge in Boston during tin
ntiro time that the last national bank
rupt law was in operation. Ho has i
: amiliar knowledge of its merits and do
octs , and his draft of a now bankrup
aw aims to retain what was good in tin
) ld law and to correct its defects.
The bill now pending in congress em
braces 100 sections , covering , with thi
ndox , seventy-six printed pages. It i
.ho work of much study , long exporionc
ml frequent revision. Since its first in
Production in the lost senate by Senate
lear it has boon materially modified ii
several of the most objectionable partic
ulars and will probably now receive.
sanction of the majority in congress
The bill defines all thu words and phrase
used in bankruptcy which have booi
liorotofqro in dispute , or which in the nn
tare of things require to bo limited by
ipccifio definition. The courts are givei
jurisdiction and powers substantially a
they were under the former bankrup
aw , but they are explained with a groa
deal moro care , to prevent litigation. In
stood of rogistorn in bankruptcy , paid b ;
' 003 , the bill contemplates the appoint
ment in each congressional district of i
commissioner in bankruptcy , at u salar ;
of $2,000 a year , and a supervisor in eacl
udicial circuit , at an annual salary o
$3,000 , who shall have a general over
ight of the supervisors , assignees am
clerks.
Any person having provable debts ox
oooding the amount of $500 may file hi
petition as voluntary bankrupt under th
bill. Throe or moro creditors , whoa
debts aggregate not less than $250 , 01
if his creditors are loss than twelve i

.orially. Of the § 722,000 included in tin
appropriation ordinance it should hi
jorno in mind that $316,000 is a cit ;
debt of ton years' accumulation , and th
object , therefore , seems to bo to nmk

of 5 per cent ton year bonds.

hat if congress does its duty , the Toxn"
