NEED OF A BANKRUPT LAW ,
Judge J. L. Torroy Explains His Bill Now
Pondlug In Congress.
WHERE THE OPPOSITION COMES FROM
Ucilriililllty of n .Vntlouul Uniform I.JUT on
llio Subject of Drill OinnlinMer-
cliiintii U'hu 1'uvur the
1'rujiosud Law.
In reference to the Torroy bankruptcy
bill , which passed the last house of repre
sentatives by a large non-partisan vote and
was favorably recommended in the senate ,
but was not reached for consideration , Judge
Torroy the author of the measure said :
"Tho bill Is pending In both branches or
congress ; it was introduced In congress by
Colonel William C. Dales of Alabama , and In
the senate by Hon. Hlshop W. 1'erltlns of
Kansas ; both of those gentlemen nro strong
men and wo have an uoldmg faith that I ho
bill Is In good ban Js. It Is now pending before -
fore each of the Judiciary committees of the
two brauchcA of congress and has been re
ferred by each of them to sub-committees ;
the latest Information we have Is to the effect
that both of these committee. ] will probably
report favorably. I , of course , cannot
anticipate- when tbo bill will bo considered ,
but have assurances from the gentlemen in
charge that on endeavor will ho made to
havu It considered during the present ses
sion. "
Ills replv to an Inquiry as to what opposi
tion was experienced to the proposed legisla
tion was as follows : "Thoro is no sectional
ouposlttou ; none which Is political in Its
nature , and none from any particular busi
ness , industry or profession ; all of which wo
hove received any notice is cither the result
of ignorance or of sclllshncss. There has
been awarded to the bill a vury general on
dorbomont from all over the country. The
only open and avowed opposition of which 1
IMVO heard anything is by n big house which
has organized a law department ami is under
taking to control national legislation upon
this subject ; ir. Us law department has boon
very successful in securing preferences
to the exclusion of the rights of other
creditors , it Is very loth to have enacted n
bill v.hicli provides for a ratable and cqult-
nblo distribution of luo assets of bankrupts.
My Information is to the effect that it never
compromises with a debtor but insists thut
every ono indebted to it must either pay 100
cents on the dollar or die ; it therefore is of
necessity opposed to n law which moves the
turono of Its law department to the court
house , and upon finding a debtor honest ,
gives him a discharge from his debts und an
opportunity to bogiu linancial life anew.
"Tho effect of such opposition , " said
Judge Torres' , "will , I believe , bo to nrouso
additional Interosl upon the subject and to
secure to the cause many friends who would
not otherwise have takot part in the move
ment.
"Modern business , In itself. Is compli
cated ; ndd to it the complicated provisions of
the commercial laws of forty-four stales , be
sides the territories , and there is confusion
about ono's rights , which , I think , Is to DO
deplored. 1 participated lu the piescnt move
ment looking to the substitution of ono no
tional uniform law for the forty-four sepa
rate and differing Mate laws , because I bo-
llevod the result would bo the betterment of
the condition of debtors and creditors and
consumers alike. "
In speaking of the movement ho said :
"Tho Toriov bill has been endorsed by u
greater number of economic , commercial , in
dustrial and other bodies than over were
UK reed upon any ether ono subject ; during
the lost congress it was petitioned for by men
from all parts of the country and of every
occupation and calling. The olllcers and
chairmen of committees are ull western nit-n.
Among the bodies In this state which have
participated in the movement endorsing
the bill nud calling upon congress to
enact It are the Hastings Board of Trade ,
I . .In coin Board of Trade ; Lincoln Uolail
Grocers association ; Nebraska Paint , Oil
mid Glass club , Omaha ; Noorasku State
Business Meu'a association , Lincoln ; Omaha
Board of Trade ; Union club , Hastings.
"Among the gentlemen whoarooOlccrsand
members of committees nro I'lo ' following :
Messrs. AC. . Uarler. Fremont ; Andrew J.
Coulee , Beatrice ; Mnnford L. lilsmoro ,
Hastings ; Griff .1. Kvuns , Hastings ; U.
II. Oakley , Lincoln ; Itotiort B. Wlndhum ,

liam J. Broatch. Charles A. Coe , William S.
Curtis , George M. Darrow. James G. Gilmore -
more , Frank B. Kenuard , Tuoinas Kilnat-
ricit , Freeman J' . Kirlcondull , William V.
Morse , Allen T. Hoclor and Dudlej Smith ,
all of Omaha. "
In referring to the several provisions of
the bill , that one iclating to compromises or
settlements seemed to tuko great prominence
in the mind of thogcnllomun. Concerning It
bosald : "lu the great majority of cases
where thcrols nn honest failure the credi
tors are willing to do the generous thing by
the debtor. Under existing laws it is not
often possible for them to have an opportun
ity to act together , bccauso the first w'o know
ot the failure is thut some ono has secured a
preference and docs not wish to compromise.
Under the Torroy bill I apprehend that there
will Do more compromises than administra
tions. It provides u perfectly plain und
tmplo way bv which settlements can bo had
without delay and at comparatively no cost , "
Mr. Thomas Kilpatricli , in rosnousu to uu
Inquiry by u reporter , said :
"Ves , sir , 1 will toll jou what I think ol
the Torroy bill. In my judgment its enuct-
munt will result in the enhirgmcnt of com
merce , the reductions of the hazards of busi
ness and tbo consequent financial advantage
of both the debtor und creditor classes.
V/hen the agitation was llrst begun I was
not favorable to this measure. An examina
tion of the bill led mo to believe that It hud

Mr. Dudley Smith of D. M. Stculo ft Co. ,
was seen at ins place of business mid re
quested to state his views concerning na
tional bankruptcy legislation , iloinld : " 1
bcllova that legitimate business will bo promoted
meted bv the passage of tbo Torroy batik-
ruutcv b'lll. Under existing laws thorn are
matjy'ooportuulllos to cheat , wrong and defraud -
fraud , which encourage. 1 fear. wrou doing

hazard of business , nnti ns n roiult lha prices

higher than thov would bo If wo had ono un
iform equitable cot'o ' such M Is embodied iti
tun measure tohlch 1 have referred.
"It is perhaps not to bo wondered at that
men in falling circumstances go n long ways
In an endeavor to protect tliolr fiimllloi by
hldlnir awav n part of their estate or by pay
ing It out to creditors whom they bopa will
afterwards favor tbom ; but 1 think on the
whole it would bo hotter to have n law pur
suant to which n man who fulls will bo
awarded the exemptions of the state In
which ho ltvM , and If honest will bo ublo to
secure n dlictuirgo aid bo thereby enabled to
again participate In promoting enterprises
and conducting commerce In a wuy thut best
suits his ability.
"I have hoard n fear expressed , " said Mr.
Smith , continuing"thattbo enactment of
law under which the unfortuuuto nil cut , so-
euro n discharge might begot reckless trad
ing , but 1 uo not hollevo that sach would bo
the case ; It acorns impossible ) that
any law would Inclto men to greater
rcculcssncss than Is now experienced ; under
the provisions of the Torroy bill thcru will
bo n number of dangers to recklessness and
extravagance , in the llrst place It will bo al
most sura to result In n liquidation of the
debtor's obligations for the bonollt of the
creditors ; If ho has undertaken to hide away
uny property the transactions may bo sot
nsldo by his trustee for the benefit of bis
creditors , and If ho has purchased goods on
credit not Intending to pay for them , or has
disposed of his property other than in the or
dinary course ol tradu , ho may bo sent to the
| ) onitentlury under the provisions of the bill.
The provisions nro very carufully gutudod
with n view of preventing the discharge of
debtors other than those who hiivo bocu un
avoidably unfortuuuto and huvo nmdo un
honest surrender of their ptoperty. "

A CHARGE OF DECEPTION.
Woulil-Ilo flutter lliiycra Ui > Not Always
Get What They Wnut.
OMUIA. April S. To the Kdltor of TUB
BIE : The practice of selling oleomargarine
fur butter is to bo condemned , as all kinds of
goods should bo sold on their merits and not
on the reputation of seine ether article. Con
sequently consumers of butter will bo Inter
ested uy reading this article.
The supposition Is that you eat butter
when you buy the article called for by that
name , but that depends , in a great many
instanceon , the parties supplying you ,
whether you got pure , wholesome butter or
borne cheap Imitation of the ccnuino article.
Consumers do complain and Imvo cause to'
complain , in view of thd fact that they fre
quently got very poor goods , or bomo cheap
imitation of buttur.Vlulo this imitation
butter aoos not have any obnoxious taste ,
there is that peculiar and pleasing flavor
laclslng that goes to make up the require
ments ot good butter , und In cooking
causes disappointment , as fancy pastry
and cakes are not what they
should bo. The fact is that no imitation of
of butler can have thos.uno effect in cooking
that butler has. That is Indisputaule. as all
baUerios , such as the National Cracker , or
the American Biscuit Manufacturing com
pany , will uao nothing but butter , and in
frequent case ? , buying the Hnost creamery
lor their fancy goods.
The consumers do not realise what the
cause for complaint is , as they are not look
ing tor any deception , for the butter is gen
erally supplied 10 families by their grocer , In
whom they place implicit "confldeueo , uud
who has a loputatlon tor honorable and fair
dualing. Goods from such a firm are sup
posed to bo us represented , but such is not
the case , as numerous grocers are handling
oleomargarine. Ladles , children and ser
vants order butter from the grocer , and in
return they frequently gut bogus stuff.
They do not expect a fraud "or steal to bo prac
ticed upon them , as the firm they deal with
is supposed to ho above anything dishonor-
noio , or soiling them staple goods at 75 or
or 1UJ per cent prollt.
Oloomarganinc , If sold for what It is , should
retail at from Ifi cents to 'M cents per pouud ,
but If sold as butter , -5 cents or 'M cants par
pound. This loons Ilka a lie and u cheat ,
uud If practiced on ono article then.1 Is very
liable to bo fraudon several
Would it not bo just und correct for deal
ers selling oleomargarine to sell the article
for what li n , and charge a reasonable prollti
The wholesale price of the stufl Is from 10 to
H cents par pound most dealers buying tbo
10 cent goods. The consumer wanting but
ter should not bo imposed upon , but givou
what lie pays lor.
Tliodealer frequently sola up the plea th at
ho cannot got good butter , and while it Is
true that desirable lots of 1-uttor are at times
hard to get , it can always be had by firms
not wanting an oleomargarine prollt , and it
is an assured fact that butter can be pro
cured by oleomargarine dealers If they will
display fiosamo tact and energy that they
do In dcctilviug the public on oleomargarine ,
ruoro Is no doubt but , that some dealers
nro honorable and sell the bogus stuff for
what It is , giving butter to consumers who
want it and call for the real article , jjuyers
of butter can always protect themselves
against fraud by examining the tray und the
paper their purchase Is wrapped In. Con
sumers frequently help the deception by
throwing away wrappers without looking
for the word "oleomargarine , " which deal
ers are required by United States law to
stamp on uvory pound going out of their
Etoro , Its omission would bo liable to put
lha dealer lu the custody of the revenue olll-
cors. OI.B.

"It was not unusual when abroad
to meet these who were less familiar

ife exhales and the Intelligence Is not ob

SOUTH OMAHA , April 0. To the Kditor of
Tin : Bui : : Theio uppourou an urticle in the
World-Herald of the Uth lust. , signed "A
Republican , " the purpose of vvliich was to
boom W. J. Broatch for congress from the
Second district. Ho boonii to have taken ex
ception to Mr. Ttiuraton't ; suggestion to give
"young republicans" a show. Ho rays "all
I claim is ago Is ono of Iho least of the minor
factors to be taken Into account in deter
mining what really go to maue u good Jegls
lutor , " ull of which may bo very true. Hut
the "young republicans" of this district , who
are well Jilted fur thu duties of a national
legislator , are BO numerous thut so-culled republicans
publicans of tua stump of W , J. Broatch are
not in the ruca. ICvery ono who Inn given
any attention to local politics recall * the
campaign of two nnd one-half years ago in
thu city convention wlioj the deadlock be
tween tha friends of Broatch und these op
posed lo him occurred , and after n hard Hi : hi
of tun hours Llulnger was nominated , and
that on election duy how Hroaldi and his
friends knifed jtiio candidate of their party
und succeeded ; In the clentlun of dishing.
I say all this is fresh in thu minds of the
pouplo unii they will not boon forget It. A
man who will ; uy such perfidious methods
overthrow nn honorable nominee of hia party
U totally unlit to represent n republican con
stituency. Oivii us a clean , capable , loyal
"young ropuhliuau. "
