BASS BROS.’ - New Bankruptcy Law. Senator Hoar, chairman of the Sen ate committee on judiciary, who has been urging the enactment of a bank ruptcy law for »be past fifteen years* has given out a statement apropos of the Senate’s acceptance of tbe confed erate report. Among other things he says: ' x “The present bill is a compromise. It will undoubtedly be found that in getting it through we bave been obliged to leave in it some crudities and imperfections which must be remedied by subsequent legislation. It is quite likely that tbe fees of clerks*- referees and trustees will be found to be too low. “One of tbe great objections waa that under tbe law the estates note eaten up by cost, and that the credi** tors got little or nothing. So we have pared to the quick in that particular “Instead of the long list of crimes there are only two for which a bank ruptcy is to bs punished—one, that of wilfully making a false answer in the bankruptcy proceedings; the other, tbe embezzlement of the property of the estate. “Tbe terms of discharge, too, are exceedingly liberal; and it is provided that farmers and wage earners will not be the subjects of involuntary bankruptcy, which extends in general to merchants, manufacturers, bankers, printers and publishers, etc “There are some possible cases of fraud which tbe law will not prevent, but tbe objection to a stricter one was s > great that it was not thought best to risk the success of this bill, which, as it were, has been saved as by fire, by standing for a perfect rule to be applied to cases which would not occur once in a thousand times. “The bill will enable from 150,000 to 200,000 bankrupts to get on their feet again. It will enable manufact urers and merchants to get a fair di vision of their debtor’s property, and will prevent a great deal of fraud, em bezzlement and wasteful dealing with property.” The Modern Beauty Thrives on good food and sunshine, with plenty of exercise in tbe open air.
