A. CAMPAIGN AtlAtKHT Hit } SltKllMAN
It hits now become clear to every ono
who hits watched the course of public
opinion since the announcement of an
extra session of congress in August ,
that the repeal of tlio Shontmn silver
purclmso act can bo accomplished , if It
can bo accomplished nt till , only after a
bitter struggle. Nor will this contest
bo confined to the halls of congress.
The silver wnr is beginning to bo waged
in earnest in many different portions of
the country.
.Up to this time these who favor the
free and unlimited coinage ot stiver nt
the present mint ratio seem to have suc
ceeded in mulcinsr 'themselves the most
widely heard. The Chamber of Com-
murco ut Denver has become prominent
In several manifestos issued over its nntno
and culling upon similar commercial
bodies throughout the silver , wheat ,
wool anil cotton districts of the west anil
south tti join In the eftort to bolster up
the price of silver. For this purpose It
1ms culled a convention of delegates
from tho.so commercial clubs to assem
ble in St. Louis on July 17 "to ondoavwr
to have business o'rganlx.atloiiH and the
people * , in mass convention assembled ,
memorialize nnd petition their mem
bers In congress not to yield tholr
convictions to .tho seductive inlhioncos of
public patronage , the blandishments of
the gold standard advocates or the ap
peal of u subsidized press. " The southwest -
west silver convention , composed of 300
delegates , who mot nt Silver City on Independence -
dependence < lay , gnvo ovidoneo of tholr
enthusiasm for free coinage , and for free
coinage only. A Montana silver confer
ence lias 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 Topokn on July
20 "to take such action sis may bo thought
best to advance the cause of free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of lu' to 1. " Almost at the sumo moment
a proclamation arrived from Washing
ton asking for a national convention of
the American Bimetallic league to beheld
hold at Chicago , beginning August 1 , in
order to defeat the manifest conspiracy
to destroy silver ns money.
The silvorltos , then , are showing unusual -
usual activity all along the lino. They
are actuated by a oneness of purpose
wherever they are located. Their as
semblies and conventions , however dis
connected , show n unity of action which
supplies the place of a perfected political
organization. They are ondeavorinsr b.v
means of public demonstrations in ovcrj
section of the country to make their
cause appear to bo popular and thus tc
steady tlio faltering attitude of some ol
their former friends in congress.
On the other side of the question there
has as yet been little expression of the
popular demand. Certain newspaper ;
favoring the discontinuance of silver
purchases have long been hammering
away for a repeal of the Sherman law ,
but the commercial bodies whose inter
ests require sound and stable money
have not boon so energetic in giving
voice to their wishes ns have been those
identified with the free coinage move
ment. A beginning has now been made
in this direction by the Now York
Chamber of Commerce and it is highl.v
probable that similar resolutions will
bo spnntnnoously adopted in many othot
influential associations of business mon.
The resolutions agreed upon in Now
York Thursday contemplate the ap
pointment of a committee of seven rep-
resentutivo members to go to Washing
ton and to impress upon congress the
fact that the business interests of the
United States demand un immediate
repeal of the Sherman law.
The campaign outside of congress haf
thus boon commenced. The contest ii
to bo carried on throughout the whok
country. It is to bo a campaign of con
yontions , rosolusions , petitions nik
memorials. Lot every association o
business mon or laborers prepare tc
make public an expression of their do
munds.
The fraraors of the federal constitu
tion inserted into that instrument i
clause giving congress power to cstab
lish uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies
ruptcios in the United States. Jus
why this authority was given to the cen
tral government has not boon satisfac
torily explained. There are a hundm
and 0110 other subjects upon which mil
form legislation is equally desirable
but which have been loft under tin
jurisdiction of the several states. Semi
of the colonies had had difficulties it
appeasing the debtor classes when thoj
clamored for stay laws or for renowci
issues of depreciated paper currency
but the fact that congress was in n <
haste to employ the power given by thii
clause is evidence that its urgency wa :
not then felt.
The demand for a national bankrupto ;
law has regularly recurred after almos
every period of monetary stringency
Notwithstanding the frequency of tin
demand only throe laws govornUij

a comparatively short statutory life
The first was enacted in 1800 at tin
solicitation of debtors who had tnilYoro.
from the crisis just preceding. It wu1
repealed Jn 180'J. Tlio second became i
law in 1811 and was demanded by thosi
who , weakened by the panic of 1837
succumbed to the stringency of the yea
1810. This act remained on the stututi
book but two years before repealed
The third uniform bankruptcy law ap
peared in 1807 in response to the da
mands of the war debtors. It wa
amended in 1871 and finally repealed ii
1878 , Since that time all olTorts t
secure the passage of a now bill huv
been in vain.
While congrosa has the constitution ! )
power to enact uniform laws on the sub
jeot of bankruptcy , the exercise of tha
power lius in its discretion. Tlio gran
of this power is not exclusive. If congress
gross refrains from using the authorit ;
conferred upon it , the legislatures c
the various states are entirely free t
regulate the conduct of bankrupt
within their jurisdiction. The fodoru
law , as long as in force , will supplun
any state law inconsistent with it , bu
on its repeal the state law revives 1
still miropcaled. So it has huppuuo
thai excepting some fifteen ypars , bankruptcies
ruptcios declared since the adoption c
ho federal constitution have boon sub-
eet to whatever regulations the state
oujslalurofl have seen fit to proscribe.
In Nebraska , an act regulating assign
ments for the benefit of crodltorn , became
a law in 1877 , A now law upon the
same subject was enacted In 1833 , and
the preceding act repealed. The decla-
atlon of bankruptcy may proceed
'mm three possible sources from the
debtor , from the creditor , or from the
court of Us own motion. The Nebraska
aw provides for voluntary assignments
only. The law m ly proceed upon ono of
, wo theories : It may aim to divide all
the property of the .debtor among the
creditors , or it may go further and seek
to discharge the debtor from his remain
ing obligations. The Nebraska law di
vides the property , but leaves UnatToutod
the right of the creditor to any other
remedy in law or in equity which ho
may have. It provides for the filing of
deeds o' aFsignmont In the ofilco ol the
county clerk , with the sheriff ns tem
porary assignee. Tlio creditors may
select an assignee by following the
method proscribed iu the act , Who ,
utter having given the required bonds ,
is placed in charge of all the property
of the assignor excepting only that
which by state law is generally exempt
from attachment. A comprehensive in
ventory must bo compiled by both the
therilT and the assignee. Claims must
bo ( Hod upon a day designated by the
county judge and uncontcstod claims arc
allowed without question. Contested
claims are decided by the court just as
in ordinary civil actions and judgment
recorded. No writ of error is obtain
able , although an appeal may be ttikoi ;
to the proper court. On the return ol
the Inventory and appraisement , the as
signed estate is converted into money al
an advertised sale. At intervals of not
longer than throe months , the assignee
reports the amount of money in his
hands , which Is then distributed pro rntn
among creditors , with certain specified
preferences. After the final dtstribu
tion the court enters an order disoharg
ing the assignee.
The whole proceedings in the case o
voluntary assignments for the benefit o
creditors aim at distributing the assot1
as quickly as possible. They content
nlato only dssignmonts made in gooi
faith and inllict heavy penalties' 01
parties making conveyances of proport. )
in fraud of their creditors. The poin
where the Nebraska .law fails to const !
tuto a real bankruptcy law is this , tha' '
it doe ? not relieve the debtor from litibil
ity on his remaining obligations. I
protects him and enables him to stur
anew when his estate sufilcos to batisfj
the creditors. If his liabilities oxccc ( '
what ho realizes on his property , the dc
ficlcncy may continue to hang like i
cloud over his head.
AOII' l-'Ull .1 SPKC1AL
The city council is to bo congratulated
upon its willingness to accept sound ad
vice. THK BEK yesterday urged the
prompt passage of a resolution calling
upon the attorneys retained in the pav
ing ea > > o to investigate whether it be
possible to secure a special term of the
supreme court and to take every stej
which the law allows to obtain a spcedj
decision respecting the city's right ti
proceed with the work of street improve'
moiit. At its meeting last night a reso
lution contemplating this object was in
tmluecd by Mr. Whoolcr and quickly
passed by the council. The next stop tc
bo taken is that the attorneys proccec
without delay to carry out the instruc
tions which have been given them.
It is to bo hoped that the judges o
the supreme bench will grant the re
quest of the city for a special term if i
sound interpretation of the law will jus
tify such a procedure. The dav shoul <
bo sot at as early a date as possible , fo ;
every day's postponement means cou
tinned loss to the city and enforced idle
ness to the laborers who would other
wise bo employed. All the briefs in tin
case wore , by the concession of Mr. Con
neil , to have been filed by Monday last

gain time in preparing his papers. I
the brief of Mr. Hall has not been pro
sontcd tlio attorneys for the city ough
to oppose every extension of time
They can do nothing less if they follov
the directions of the city council.
Even with the convening of a spocia
term of the supreme court the city cai
not bu certain that the decision will hi
in its favor. If the attorneys have per
formed their duty the city has reason
able grounds to expect the case to hi
decided so as to permit immediate re
sumption of work. In case of an tin
favorable outcome in the supreme court
efforts should not bo diminished to flm
a way by which the improvements ma ;
be completed at the very earliest oppot
tunity.
NOTWITHSTANDING the ravages c
cholera in some sections of the old worl
no serious apprehensions seem to bo or
tortainod of the appearance of the pla u
in this country. Fronuh reports chili
that there is no epidemic in the south c
Franco , though isolated casOa have boo
reported. A hingle case is also roporte
to huvo boon brought into England. Bi ;
the utato and national authorities of thl
country have boon exceedingly vigilui :
and tlio precaution they havuestablisho
to prevent the introduction of the ii
taidlous dlsL'tiso have served to ostubliu
confidence. Nevertheless with the suti
mor solstice in full swing it will bo wU
for banltary officers everywhere to b
awake to the possible danger.
Ai-Ti'.K passing the necessary 01
dinancu the city council of Beatrice Iu
requested the railroads to proceed ti
once with the construction of u vladuc
over their tracks in that city. The n
quest is preferred with a compluccnc
that is almost touching , but the coi
fldonco of the good people of Beatric
on the Blup is destined to receive
rude shock us soon as the railroad inui
ngoru find the time to indite one of the ;
letters for which they are so justl
oolobrutod.
THK Blaok Hills people uio growln
restless under the corporation methoc

They do not think that a man who hi

workmen who dally risk their lives
while working In the Homostako mine.
They wore given the bookkeeper of the
mine , who Is inoro interested in protect
ing the company than the laborer. If
wo understand anything of the inde
pendent spirit of the fair-minded people
of that section they are not likely to
allow themselves to bo tints corporation
ridden for any great length of timo. It
already begins to look as though tlio
supreme court judge complained of will
be relegated to private Hfo at the fall
election ,
THK steamship companies nro now said
to bo actively co-operating with the
ollieiuls of the Treasury department in
the enforcement of the now immigra
tion law. So much depends upon the
attitude of the steamship companies in
discriminating between desirable and
undesirable emigrants before admitting
them to passage on their vessels that
this is n most promising sign for people
who desire dependent immigrants to be
turned away without discouraging the
Incoming of those who give evidence ol
becoming u oful olti/ons. This disposi
tion to obey the law and to see that it I'
properly enforced will glvo more salu
tary results than the most stringent ro-
strictivn law that might invite violatiot :
on every side.
ST. Louis , like Omaha , is wrestling
with the garbage question. It is Inter
esting to note that the contractor ask-
but $000 per day or 9210,000 , per year foi
removing the garbage for the entire citj
of St. Louis. An Omaha contructoi
asks an average of $108,000 per year foi
ton years for performing the sinno sorv
ice. And yet St. Louis is nearly fem
times as largo as Omaha and the expense
ponso of removing garbage must bo pro
portionutely higher in the former city
The Omaha contractors evidently recognize

through the emperor's address there rang a
uoto of triumph , resolute , dominant nmt un

It Is the kaiser's fixed determination to so-
uro the peace of Kuropo by maintaining a
Oormau military force that shall bo not only
formidable In Itself but relatively strong

policy will under no circumstances bo aban

only alternatives to acquiescence in the em

their choice , mid opposition to the majority

porters ns a sort of treason to the father
land , There \\111 doubtless bo n long and
acrimonious debate in the Reichstag , In
which political leaders and party chiefs will
strlvo for fututo advantage ; but the ma
terial advantages of the government can
scarcely bo frittered away in a discussion
which iu its essence can bo nothing mote
than a restatement of the phases of a ques
tion already practically settled by the Gor
man people at the polls.

You Caprlvl Is finding difficulties In the
way of organizing 'a government majority
out of the inharmonious factions which make
up the conservative element among the
newly elected members of the Reichstag.
The agnukins are said to bo firm in their
demand for protection and the cessation of
the negotiations fora commercial treaty with
Russia , and arc holding back their pledge of
support to the army bill until they
get this assurance from the chancel
lor. Tlio Poles demand concessions In
regard to national schools as part of
their compensation for the support of the
army hill , while the radical unionists and
the national liberals demand the passage of
certain reform measures. Ahhvardt and
the aiiti-Scmltos will vote against the bill
unless they can got some miti-Jcwish legis
lation through the Reichstag , and tliu Suhor-
lemor-Alst centrists are Insisting ujwn
greater privileges for the clericals and con
cessions to the chinch as the price of their
supH | > rt. It Is agreed , thnt lu some way
Caprlvl will evolve a majoilty out of those
discordant elements , but It will bo an uncer
tain one , ready to dusort him on provocation ,
so that ho will not bo suroof his bill just in
troduced till It is passed.

The proclamation of a republic In Greece
will excite more sentimental interest than a
like change In the government of many a
country far moro Important in every respect ,
save only historic glory and long prominence
in the world of art anil literature. The
political results of the revolution , swift nnd
easy , which took from King George his
throne may likewise have a scope and power
for good or ill wholly out of proportion to
thorelativost.itistir.il and economic little
ness of modern Greeeo. Russia , Austria
England and Franco are all interested in the
condition and political connections of n state
which occupies a commanding position in the
eastern Mediterranean. Greece can never
bo left out of the account when the posses
sions of the sultan shall come to final distri
bution , and In every capital oflCuropo the
Greek revolution will bo anxiously discussed
as A menace to maintenance of the exist
ing balance of power.
And yet the Greek republic may ho very
short-lived. When ttio ancient homo of
civilization In Europe was partially freed
from the rule ot the Turks in 18.U , the at
tempt to found a republic resulted in
tyranny , civil war , and , in the end , a state
of things vcrv like anarchy. ' It was not
until the Bavarian prince , Otho , was made
king of Greece , In 18T2 , that reasonable
tranqulllty was enjoyed. When Otho was
driven from Greece , In 1SOJ , there was little
republican sentiment manifested among his
rebellious subjects , and the king just de
posed , tlii'ii known as Pilnro " Vlllliim of
Schloswig-Holatoln , was accepted readily us
a constitutional sovereign. The Greeks
IIUVP long enjoyed universal suffrage in tlio
election of a legislative body somewhat like
our houseof representatives , to which the
ministers through whom the king governed
wcro responsible. The yoke of monarchy
lias been light and easy , and the revolution
was almost totally unexpected by well In
formed students of current events. It re
mains to be scon whether or not the republic
public- instituted will endure or prove to he
merely a tcmixmiry arrangement pending
the choice , by the great powers as much aa
by the Greeks , of u now sovereign ,
