These certificates have been issued in the South when currency was scarce, and to meet a temporary need. IT it should be requisite to continue the nao of some such obligations of tbe banks to pay on demand, it ia probable that certified ch cks.

These wonld not be quite ao convenient, but if it should be found that they are not subject to taxation they could be made to do good service, There has been an unusually large number of fatal eolluiona and other accidents on the railroad in tbe last few weeks, and tbe testimony shows great carelessness on the lines of certain companies that have won a high reputation for good management. We have in mind the fall of the bridge at Chester on tbe Iioeton and Albany Koad and the collision Thursday morning on one of the Pennsylvania Company's lines near Chicago. In the last-named case the authorities permitted two trains to approach each other on the same track at a high rate of speed without msk-lug any provision for stopping or aide-tracking one of them. Such exhibitions of will give new force to tbe movement for the repeal of the laws which prevent the recovery of more than $3,000 In.

Any hope that tbe reported death of Emis might prove one of the numberless falae rumors attending African explorers is now dispelled by the tidiugs jut received inEogland. There is something melancholy in his final years and his fate. From occupying a central position in tbe world's interest and admiration he became a little-regarded tigure after be entered the German service, and at last perished while absent from bis post of duty on an expedition not authorized by bis Government His rescue by Stanley, after a journey which carried the anxieties and good wishes of millions with it, turned out, as we can now see it, most unfortunately for Exilk'b fame. Tbe criticisms of Staxlet told upon bis reputation, at least as a hero of action and of judgment, and what be has since aehievedin the German service is probably far less appreciated than its boldness, its executive ability, and its scientific fruits merit The prosperous station he has founded and built up on Victoria Nyanza, bis recent surveys and explorations in tbe lake region, his discovery of mountains, and his last ambitious marob through some regions unvisited, with intent to reach tbe west coast of Africa, make up a remarkable record of three years' work.

But hia popular renown will justly rest on that memorable earlier period when be so ably governed his province in tbe Soudan, teaching the natives tbe arts oi civilisation, meanwhile ardently pursuing bis scientific studies with their abundant fruits, and maintaining himself, though cut off from the world without, by soldierly skill and bravery against Arab assaults. THK SENATE'S KKSPONHlBILITT. The dawdling over repeal in tbe Senate is disgusting tbe country, and it is high time that it should be stopped. It is useless to discuss its causes in detail They are varied. The silver men are apparently trying to worry and weary the friends of repeal into some sort of compromise.

The friends of repeal are not likely to yield to any such tactics, but do not yet feel tbe necessity for using the power that is unquestionably in their bands. It may be that they will have to learn a lesson in that regard that will be "both painful and surprising. Tbe oondition of business is much better than it has been. It is very far from being securely better. There ia a deep sense of uncertainty and doubt underlying all operations.

Tbe business community is intensely restless and feverish. It was greatly encouraged by the splendid victory of repeal in tbe House, and it bad hoped that the matter would be promptly determined in tbe Senate, and men would know what to do. It has not been promptly determined, and tbe result of the first strong impulse of hope, now checked by this unexpected obstacle, is a troubled excitement that some untoward change might easily convert into panic. The banks and financial institutions of the country have utilized all resources to auttain the business men in this trying situation. The strain is great, but they have borne it with courage and coolness, and will continue to do so.

But meanwhile tbe situation is unfortunate and absurd. All over the country, thousands of enterprises, large and small, are hampered, repressed, discouraged by the criminal delay in the action of the Senate, and hundreds of thousands of men are kept from the reward of regular industry. We warn tbe Democratic majority in the Senate that for this and for whatever further mischief may come of it, their party, and it alone, will be held responsible, and tbe responsibility cannot be explained away. The people will care nothing for excuses. These will not, to use the language of financial debate, "meet the demands of business." What the people want, and with an intensity, firmness, and aggressiveness never surpassed, is the prompt passage of tbe Wilson Repeal bilL If they do not get that in time, tbey will surely and swiftly punish the Demooratio I'artv.

A IJCKSTIOX OF CONFIDENCE. On tbe 1st of September, commenting on tbe manner in which a receiver was appointed for the Commercial Bank of Brooklyn, we remarked: "It is due to sound banks and sarefal and hoaeet bankers that such management aa haa wreeked tba Commercial Bask shoaid ba thoroughly lavestlgaUd aad explicitly exposed without fear er favor. Then the publle will know thatdlsasur has eome npon tbe Cemmsr-elal precisely because Its managers have violated about every rale observed by Us great body of the banks of ths ttate." We recall the attention of onr readers to this statement of what appears to us a very simple proposition because we have reason to think that some very estimable persons are afraid that sucb exposures as we have been forced to make on this and other like cases have a tendency to unsettle the pnblio mind and to spread apprehension at a time when confidence is peculiarly necessary. We do not question the motives of any one making this criticism. It may well be tbe natural expression of a feeling for which at present there is only too much occasion.

But we regard the feeling as a weak one and tbe reasoning to which it gives rise as net only mistaken but dangerous. The confidence of which there is now need is justifiable trust in tbe soundness of tbe great body of our financial institutions. Ko paper could cultivate that feeling among its readers if tbe managers of tbe paper did not honestly feel it themselves, and if its readers were not convinced that tbe paper was sincere in expressing it If a paper should resolutely shut its eyes to evidence of unsoundness ia any bank wbirethaf evidence came to it through legal proceedings at through the ststc-menta of the bunk's wn officers, bow long would its readers eapeet its professed opinions What confidence could they hare in its judgment its aincerity, it capacity to grt at facta and appreciate tht-m It would be a poor se rvice to tbe honest bankers who do, venture to say, at least per cent of i the business of the country, to imply, by silence aa to a notoriously badly managed bank, that all banks are alike, and a bad one cannot be shown np without establish ng tbe inference that tbe others would sufl ur. It is because we ha doomed it our duty and made it our be siness, on careful inquiry and with all pc ssible moderation, to set before our readen tbe facts as we have found them, that a are able, as we believe, to sustain get eral confidence. We are convinced that the great body of tbe banks are honestiy, prudently, and skillfully conducted, and ur readers know that this eonviction is ell founded, precisely because we have not iesitated to tell them tbe truth about th rare exceptions that have occurred.

In 1 he particular case of the Commercial Bai of Brooklyn those who have had occasu to follow our statements regarding it hi ve seen that we were very patient with i managers, that we gave them the ben (fit of their earliest statements, and said nothing to impair belief in their assuran es that the depositors would be paid in 1 and the bank would resume in a short time, until it became perfectly plain that the statements were contrary to the faoi and that the assurances were nnfounde 1 in fact The matter has now passed far yond the point where silence on the part the press would do any good to any ia. It seems to have reached the point wb ere it is not a question of reparation on iy to the wronged depositors, bnt of tbe i dequacy of tba civil and criminal courts to deal with the men who have wronged the depositors. NO TJI8CL08U IE REQUIRED. The people of Colrado are told every day by tbe newspap rs of Denver that a majority of the Kep resentatives in Congress who voted for 1 he repeal of the pur chase clause of the silver law sold their votes for money or some other valuable consideration. Befo tbe olose of the debate in the House, lie Denver press asserted that the banki rs in the East, with the leaders of the Dei mocratio Party, were engaged in a conspiracy with tbe money power" in England te corrupt members of Congress.

Now the newspapers of Denver! say that the conspiracy was successful andf that Congress was bribed. The Denver tc lof the 2d int con- taiued an editorial article from which we quote the following It the secret his tori of the present Congress eeold be laid hare, la ps light ot ths law pun ishing omoiel brlbarr, what consternation among the member would be the resolt The dUSoulty is that tha fetalis of legialatlT cor ruption are ao guarded by the Instinct of self- preservation, the dafilkr and ths defiled being alike lntsrested in coses aimeut, that tha legal proof of the crime is hard to procure. What a bombshell it there eoald be a naked dlsolosur ef the metlvSs whloh aotuatad a large number ef repraseotaavss in the late divisions oa the silver question 1 In the next column, on the same page of the Aetrt, we find an interview with Sen ator Henrt M. fziiiB of Colorado, the ablest member of the silver group, and from it we take the following Ten did not go to Colorado to seek silver, I suggested. said Senator tsllsr; I went thsrs to practice law.

But vers soon after I got there I mine, and shortly after put some money Into ward I eold It for ten time whet I had paid for It, I thought that tail waa the war to make mouey, and I put the money right baok into mines again. I bought three properties and paid for them. I have these properties to-day. I have taken about 25.iXH from one of them. The oth 's have never like to have the price The Senator wouUI of silver increased bjy legislation to $1.21) per ounce.

Under benign iniluence of such legislation his hree mines might be come paying properties. There is no demand for a "naked disclosure of motives" with respect to the lowners of the Nevada Mill and Mining Ccrapauy, tbe agents of tbe powerful smelti ig companies, and the owners of silver mines who bold seati in the Senate. Tbe isclosure has already been made. SURROGATE HANSOM'S KENOM I ATION. That was a splen tribute to Surrogate IUstls 8.

Kanso.m which we published Leaders of the bar public office and in yesterday morning, and men prominent all the activities of lb city, citizens whom every New-Yorker bows and whose opin- ions command wide respeot, united in words of praise ai id admiration for tbe Surrogate and in ex reading the belief that be should by all means be renominated. Mr. William Stbi NWAT spoke to the point: "I have kno of his legal ability in many ways, and elf bis character as Sur- rogate I have bad spl cial knowledge, since ight estates to admin- I have had seven or ister within recent yfcars. I have never be- fore seen such proten ptness, justice, and of everybody's just careful consideration dues, with no jurden of heavy charges saddled npon the es lates. Tbe widow and the orphan have bail in Mr.

Ransom jnst the kind of pro tecjtor tbe law intended they should have. In my judgment, be ought certainly to bp renominated." Mr. Delos McCl bdt pnt the case in a nutshell: "I beliet to displaoe a man it would be unwise ho has bad such expo rieuce in the Surrogate' 's ofiice by an inex- perienced man." These are specimen opin- ion a There are pli nty of others eq ually iriendly and positive. The Surrogate's 'ourt differs in some notable respects i rob other courts Sooner or later it has to every citizen in the of that court must kass upon the affairs of ommunity. The Judge learned not only in 'surrogate's law and in tbe general law of propeity, but he bit also be a man of breadth of mind.

clearness of view, sound sense, and human sympathy. All then qualities Mr. IU.nsom has manifested. One good term deserves soother. We heartily indorse all of the good things that were said of the Surrog ate by tbe gentlemen whose opinions ware printed yesterday 1 morning, lit ouuht to be renominated, and we bare "no donbt he will be.

ft is the well-known policy of the Tammany organization to continue iipnii tbe bench Judges who have won the respect and confidence of the bar and tbe public. The Surrogate's renoininitllon ought to be made unanimous, llo should be 4be candidate of both parties. Judge IUkkett of tbe Supremo Court and Judge Cowixo of the Court of General Sessions were renominated by both the Democrats and the Kepublicans. The precedent is a sound one for tbe case of the Surrogate. IMMIGRANTS 0Y WAY OF CANADA.

The monthly report of the number of immigrants arriving has for years been accompanied by a note explaining that immigrants from Canada and Mexico are not included in tbe statistics, "owing to tbe absence of law providing for the collection of accurate data in regard thereto." We hope that the arrangement recently made in Canada by the immigration authorities will enable the Treasury Department to enumerate hereafter tbe immigrants coming into this country from Europe by way of the Dominion. The statistics of immigration should be complete. It is well known that the number of emigrants from Europe landing at Canadian ports and then entering this country by crossing tbe boundary has been unusually large thia year. Tbe magnitude of this movement is indicated by a report submitted to the Marine Hospital Bureau by Dr. Banks, who is stationed at Quebec, In the three months ending on July 31 the number of immigrants who passed the St Lawrence Quarantine was 20,550, and of these 17,453 were on their way to.

this oountry. The average number of immigrants per month arriving at our own ports has been this year about 50.0O0. So considerable a number as 17,453 in three months ought not to be ignored in the official statistics. We are glad to learn from Dr. Banks's report that the quarantine service at tbe Canadian station has been very satisfactory.

"Tbe work here being done by tbe Dominion Government in a most thorough and scientific manner," bo says, "has left no room for criticism," and he adds that the local authorities and tbe railroad companies have given him all tbe assistance be could require. In the early months of the year it was said that the Canadian quarantine service was not trustworthy. The testimony of tbe agents of tbe Marine Hospital Bureau shows that all needed precautions are taken. YACHTS AND RACINO MACHINES. Some of our contemporaries take exception to tbe cup defenders npon the ground that they are "racing machines." Of course they are racing machines, and everything else is sacrificed to speed.

But it is no more an objection to a racing yacht that she is a racing machine than it is an objection to a thoroughbred horse that be is a racing machine. The boat, like the animal, is a highly-specialized product, and specialized with reference to the performance of a particular function. If the type thus evolved were, in either caie, unfitted by its special development for the general work of a horse or of a yacht the evolution might be a matter for regret But this is conspicuously not the case. On the contrary, all the development that has been made in yacht designing for the past ten years, though doubtless it was intended merely to produce high speed, has resulted in tbe production of a much better type of all-round yacht than the racing machine of ten years ago. Whoever doubts this cannot have seen, with enlightened eyes, the race between the Colonia and the I igUunl.

Twenty years ago the American racing yacht was a racing machiue, in the most offensive sense of the term. She was constructed with a view of attaining the bighost possible peed in light winds and smooth water. She was evolved from the "sand-bag boat," iu which tbe chief function of the crew was to act as shifting ballast and to hold the boat up while she was carrying more canvas than hor model or her permanent ballast enabled ber to carry. Back of this, tbe original model and pattern of the racing yacht was the North Kiver sloop." which was not. of course, a seagoing vessel at all, which attained her stability under canvas not by body or ballast, but by beam.

This was not a good type, and the development of it produced a dangerous craft, the "skimming dish," in favor of which there was nothing to be said except that she could go very fast iu smooth water. Tbe Mohauk was the latest example, on a large scale, of this typo, and the fate of the Mhauk was a criticism on the process that had produced her. She and her like were, in truth, not sea boats, but river craft If one of these, if tbe Columbia or the Oraeit or tbe Madtlint, had been in the race of Thursday, it is easy to imagine what would have happened to her. She would simply have bumped up and down and shipped tbe water, in the sea that was running off the Hook, and she would have been compelled to beg." and to be lufied up so that her sails should not draw whenever a puff came, while the Vigilant and the Colonia were going steadily about their business. Undoubtedly the skimming dish was a racing machine in a very objectionable sense, siuce she was a boat that waa unfitted, from her modal for getting anywhere, or even for taking care of herself, in tbe weather that is to be looked for at sea.

But this is not the case with the modern racing yachts. We have taken lessous from tbe English, and tbey have taken lessons from us, with tbe result that the present racing machine is also a sea boat Of course she is not a practicable yacht A single-masted boat that takes a crew of thirty men or so to handle smartly her enormous sails will be converted into a two-masted boat aa soon as she is no longer needed for racing. A sloop or cutter of eighty-five feet on the water line is not a cruising yacht The point is that ber model is available for the model of a cruising yacht. When her sails are divided and made manageable by eonverting her into a schooner she is an able aea boat, and can go anywhere. When tbe last race for tbe Cup was sailed tbe designer ef the and the UalaU publicly pointed out the revolution' that bad been wrought in American yacht designing by Mr.

Burgess, and added, with justice, that "tbe Volunteer could keep the sea as long as tbe TkUtlt." That this ia true could doubtless be established by tbe testimony of the present owner of the enp defender of 87, that when she is sparred for economy and comfort she is still not only a fast but a safe and comfortable yacht While the enormous spars and ssils of a racing single-sticker of eighty-five feet on the water line are not practical for anything but racing, tbe boat herself is practicable, and it is unjust to call her a mere racing machine. While it ie not at all likely that tbe eup defenders will ever appear after this season as racing single-stickers, and while tbey are oversparred, as every racing yacht is. for any other purpose than racing, it is to be expected that they will have more useful, if less glorious, careers for many seasons to come as able and comfortable boats.
