OUTING NO.10. The New bankrupt Law. The theme of Ihia outing was suggested by an item in the Democrat a lev days ago.which reads as followe: "The Pacific Coast argument (or the Philippine Is lands ii purely a selfish one. We should be broad enough to look at the matter purely from a national etand-point. Humanitarian- reasons should be given." What reasons Lad the United States lor going to war with Spain T Were they vindictive or humanitarian? Was the war begun for the purpose of seeking re venge for the destruction of the Maine and 206 human beings, or in the In terest of humanity? If President Mc Kinley, just after th destruction of the Maine, had listened to the clamor of same Senators and others and bad de clared war, I am very much inclined to believe it would have been regaided as a war tor revenge. But so far as Preai dent McKinley is concerned, I believe that the war was pretty humanitarian. He could not be induced by either politi cal or any other influence to tclar war until be was fully purscaded that the Cubans couid not be otherwise delivered from the tyranny and oppression oE the Spanish government. The do-ninating passion which eeemed to impel him to make wai on tyranny and oppression, was the same that impelled the French Revolutionists to utter the cry, "Vive L'ber maniti." "He did not love his country lees but humanity more," and.if the Maine had never been destroyed, I believe he would have done exactly as he did, with the same approbation of his countrymen and the civilised nations of the earth. And his declaration of war against Spain was not in behalf of the Cubans alone, but also in behalf of the oppressed Spanish Colonists. . There was the same reason for the overthrow of tyranny in the Pbillpoine Islands ai in Cuba, although this was an incident and not the primary object of the war; and there ia the same reason for the permanent possession of theee Wands as there is for that of Porto Rico, the poa aeaeion of which is au incident of ibe war. If, therefore, as all seem to believe tne United States ia justifiable in taking nermanent possession of Porto Rico, it is eaually justifiable in holding the Philippine Islands. The same hnmanl tarian reasons exist in both cases. But thie is not all. The retaining of tbeee islands is a solemn duty the discharg ing of which cannot be shirked without responsibility. Providentially and by conquest, the United States ia in pos session of the islands and is under ob ligation to bold and govern them on hu manitartan principle. There ia no al ternative. Nothing but the establish ment and maintainance of a just and humane government over the Philippine Islands will meet our responsibilities and justify the declaration of war against Spain on humanhaiian grounds. If the United States government did not intend to hold and govern the islands, it bad no bnsinees to tend Commodore Dewey to Manila to destroy the Spanish squadron and capture the city. In sending bim.the same pledge was given by the government and accepted' by the civilized world, as was given and accepted in the case of the Cabana, and that case cannot be fulfilled otherwise, than bv the permanent possession of the islands. If they arc allowed to revert to Spain, an injustice will be done to the inhabitants. It would be as nnjust to allow the Spanish to resume their ty ran nical government or the Philippines as it woold be to a low them to resume their sovereignty of Cuba. In either case the condition of the ptople wonld oe worse than it was before the war; and the claim that the war was nndertak en on the grocnda of bnmanity wonld be falsified. Consistency, therefore, as well as the moral obligation assumed and pro claimed to the world at the opening of the war, demands that the United States shall retain and govern the Philippine Islands. This is an obligation volun tarily afsumed, which cannot be delegat ed to another. The government of its own accerd, with the sanction of the people, has a reamed a doty which ft is morally bound to discharge. Caelxbs. went Into The nee bankruptcy law effect J ulyl. Petitions for voluntary bankruptcy can be filed now. For Involuntary not before Nov. 1. By a"volnntar)" baukiupt the law means one who files hia awn petition. A voluntary bankrupt Alee with his petition a schedule of his debts and his property. ' If tbe Court decides the petitioner a bankrupt, a meeting of the creditors is called. ' Here the bankrupt may speak freely. His explanation may never be used against bim in criminal proceedings. Tbe creditors select a truster. He winds up the business and pays divi dends. After one month the bankrupt may apply tor a discbarge. Notice must be given to creditors. If the bankrupt has satisfied atl requirements be ia entitled to release. In "involuntary' bankruptcy.proceed- inge are begun by a creditor or creditors, who alien an "act of bankruptcy ' and ask a decree. Transferring property to defraud cred itors wonld be an act cl bankruptcy ; or transferrins property while insolvent to certain creditors with Intent to give them advantages over other creditors. A petition for involuntary bankruptcy is served on the defendant, returnable in fifteen days or longer, in the discre tion of the Judge. Tbe bankrupt Is entitled to a trial by jury npon queatione of fact raised in the petition. After a decree of bankruptcy la given the proceeding ie ae in vo.nntary bankruptcy. In either class of bankruptcy the Judge may came a referee to consider either tbe entire matter or a certain queetion to be considered and reported npon.

The Judge may hear an application to con firm the terms and grant it If he deems the arrangement fair to the creditors, and if tbe bankrupt lias done contranr to the law. 1 After one month the bankrupt is en they think to Washington Letur. Prom our ngular Oorrepondn Washington, Aug. 15, 189S. Mr. McKinley le still in doubt as to tbe policy we ehould pursue toward the Philippines. It was doubt that caussd tbe temporary peace agreement, signed by representatives of both governments, provide that the commissioners to negotiate the treaty of peace, which shall determine tbe final disposition of tbe Pbilippinee sLoold msst at Paris not later than Oct. 1. The Spanish gov ernment bas been quick to recognise this doubt on the part of Mr McKinley and to act upon it; it bas issusd a statement to the Spanish people saying that ttey bad reason to believe that tbe peace commission would allow Spain to retain the Philippines. What the policy ot the edmlnistratton is to be toward the Philippines will be plainer alter MrJN McKinley names the five American peace commissioners. Tbe only one ye known is Secretary Day. Who may be considered as Mr. McKinlsy's mouth pear and personal representative. It is daily becoirlng plainer that a great mistake waa made in allowing Spain to bave any say as to the disposition of the Philippines. While there are difference of opinion among our people, aa to our keeping tbe Islands, tbe opinion Is prac tically unanimous that Spain should not be allowed to retain them. It woold be farcical for us to talk about driving Spain out of Cuba and Porto Rico loi tbe aak of humanity, and then to allow Spain to keep the Philippines aftar thsy were practically in our posiession. We ehould not confine onr humanity, to the Cubans, else foreigners will refuse to believe that it ie humanity. The lovernment is preparing to eend food to Cuba, not only for tbe tnanrgenU but for all that need it, including the Spanish soldiers, but tbe Red Croee Society is ahead of tbe government as it is already distributing food and other relief in Cuba. If tbe democrats do not elect a majori ty of the Houee, this year, it would not be the fault of the democratic congree- aional campaign comn..u, wihich ia preparing tor a vigorous campaign, with confident expectatlonof aueceea.
