The ex? perience of this year should teach a valuable rsson for thc future guidance of the ment.

It is a Mtta-fe-tloa to learn fr.nn a letter printed on another page ihis morning that 'herc arc excellent nrotpectl pf an holiest el.f tion in thc city of Troy. Fur years Troy lias been Senator Mut'i'liy's pocket borough and thc nmst otfltrageous frauds have ii'in practised. A crisis was reached at the spring election ihis year, when Hubert Boas was shut by "flat'' Shea, a I.eiiiuiTatic repeater. Who is now under sentence nf death fur murder, of the men must, active in irrinKiiiK him and other Murphy lillias t-o justice luis been Frank S. Black, has been nada the Republican candidate for Conpress in the Kcusselaer-Ciiluiiilna Iilslrict.

Mr. Black is contidcut of success if the yules in Troy are honestly cast and couutetl, and is makin), every effort to secure that result. For thc llrst time the Republicans will have a fair share of the eiccfiun Impactors, gad public opinion baa been su Intensely groused thal frauds in reglstHiag and voting cann.it be at? tempted without the graves, risk. No one who gagg the way iu which ihe im? portant work ol naturalization is performed in this city, ur hears it dead-bad, BBB Call to renl that there are taiga opportunities for fraud. Tho creation of a citizen of the United Statis ondit to be conducted with due degree of deliberation.

Instead, the Judges and conn officials seem intent univ upon turning out as great a number sh possible in a given time. citizen a minute a fair average, gad cases have been known iu which the operation was comprcs. eil into (lofty ur fifty seconds. In a sitiKle month f-000 ur i.ixtxo men have been naturalized in the Superior Court, gad probably nearly or quite as many in the mon Pleas. No effort worthy of the name wade to determine whether ihese men are titted for dtisrashtp.

The courts are "naturalization mills," In npij truth, in wliich citizens are "irmimd A remedy fur scandalous state of things is loudlj called for. Election Hay is utily fuiir weeks distant and the for registration ls close at band. The iirr-i registration day In New York gad Brooklyn will to-morrow. The importance of early registration musi be seif-evldenl In the mind of every Intelligent cltlaen. IVblle lhere are three other flays on which this duty can be performed the 17th, 27th lhere ls no telling what may happen to make it Impossible then.

The plan to lake lime by Ibe forelock register al tbe earlies) opportunity. Thc clectlon thia year, State nnd local, is of large Importance, ond gil citizens should feel bound to vote. Registration is absolutely essential. The sooner this preliminary duty is performed the better. Rvcrybody who can do sn should therefore pul his name down to-morrow.

The Democratic Congressional Committee ta certainly in a bad way. Al sli events. Ibe campaign whlrh it is trying lo conduct in nu? merous Congressional districts i- making no progress, or only progress backward. Tbe re? turns from ihe recent elections in Connecticut and Georgia afford bb ground for hope, despite the roseate prospect, heralded in advance, and the latest news fruin Texas Is mosi discourag? ing. Nu wonder Ihe committee's chairman ami secretary thought they needed a vacation it thc end of lasl week; and, fortunately for ihelr peace of mind over Bunday, they were nol on hand when Representative Davey, of Louisiana, who is not seeking re-election, ar? rived in Washington with a budget of had news.

He expressed grave doubts of Demo? cratic in his district (the lld), and also thinks the Republicans are not unlikely io carry Ibe Isl ami lilli districts. The break In thc "Solid s.illili" seems bound lo come ihis year ind Democratic hopes of controlling tbe nest House are fading. ni liri: WENDELL HOLMES. death of Oliver Holmes, a natu? ral event at his great age, bul aol tbe lesa a sorrowful bereavement, is the extinction, hero, if one Ihe mosi remarkable men of thli Holmes may have been, In icteristics of humor ami fastidious taste, .1 lisclple of the wits of Ibe age of Queen hut In tin. essential fibre of his Intellect, its courage, its broad vision, its ample equip? ment, ii- eager, Joyous, sanguine vitality, be iras emphatically a man of tbe present day.

Ile sympathized to tbe fullest extenl with Ihe march of thought, and in every direction of ad rance he stood In the fronl line. As a irrltef ranged over ninny Heida, and In all of ihem tic manifested, not univ copious and various mental resources, bul Iwo of Ibe groatest qual? ities that exist in dignify Ihe human mind and to help ihe human race, lucid perception and launtleaa cheer. He knew the world aa ii ls; in- saw everything; and he was neither dla mayed nor saddened. Al all times and under di drcumstauces li" spoke for the nobility lhal is in man. and the spiritual grandeur lo erblch man is naturally destined; and bis voice always rang out, clearly and bravely, thc Inspiring watchwords of labor and hope.

Whether iu or novel, or 1.m, or treatise, or history, speech, his Indomitable spirit was always gad thus, while dispensing the force uni beauty of thought, the pleasantness mirth, and Ibe gentle of humor, he the benefit that is needed mosi of all, the blessing of strength. The reader of Holmes receives a continual Impulse toward the stead? fast, cheerful performance of duty; a continual Incentive to unquestioning faith in Ibe final prevalence of right; and therefore Ihe world is better and happier he lias lived In it. There will, doubtless, be discussion, as time tlows un. witli reference 1" tbe rank of Holmes is min of letters, bul lhere will be no iisslon ns to influence that he exerclsiil; md perhaps no question ls of much practical Importance, thal can bc raised concerning any who baa helped his generation to bear its burdens and lo do its work. The ll tera turi? ll.at is nth valuable ihe world is thal which transcends personal expression ami Into tbe general life.

Holmes, by his Autocrat alone, reached minda, Siting them With lltieral Ideas and kindlj views; itlmulatlng their finer prop, nsitles; and gently prompting them lo look al all Ihlnga in a toler int mood, to bc merciful wi ii as just, and to lighten toils and troubles of ihis transi tory life with mirth laughter. In 1 iii-- rc he did nol leave his place lo be deter mined by iiiutroversy, bul it, and held it. for himself. He was, moat of all, a humorist; md fun In which is exceptional and ex traordinary, he was a humorist in a new vein; bc did nut stop al character and manners, bul ranged Ihe whole wide realm nf philosophy, and, with ihe deepeat appreciatioo is well as the liveliest fancy and the must genial pleasantry, played about the gravest sub leets that eau occupy our thoughts. Born and reared in the Intellectual inri.ul of Emerson, felt, with ihat great spirit, thal "the solar lystem is nol sensitive lo criticism," and, arith 1 spontaneous drift toward goodness gad beau iy.

be uelther darkened his vision, nor re his speculative faculties, nor put the least ciiih upon his exuberant humor. His Autocrat, 1 liff. ls one of the must natural hooks ever written a mk that teems with stimulative suggestion, and one thal has helped, in a high degree, to emancipate the age from many fillers of bigotry, conventionality, and folly. Holmes himself valued his humorous writ? ings hss than be valued his poetry, in? il was as a poet that he chiefly desired recognition and remembrance; for he was well aware thal ill bis powers derived Ihelr vital? ity, lucidity, and harmony fruin tho poetic prin? ciple th it was at Hu- basis of his mind. Tu bow greal bb exti.ni poetic emotion was controlled in him by his very vigilant faculties of sense nnd humor, and 1 Ihe circumstances of his conventional environment, it would not, per? haps, be easy io determine.

That lt was so controlled, and thal be oftea felt lt to be sa ls manifest No writer baa suggested su sadly, su pathetically, ibe strains, snrpaaaing all earthly music, thal away unheard In thc viewless temple of the soul. The crowning ex? cellence his rene ls felicity. He bad la spiratiun. as when he wrote "The Chambered Voiceless," "The Gate," "Vader lha "Martha," "Nearing the Simw Line." thal exquisite tribute ru Moora, which certainl) is one ol the best poems of oe? caalon thal ever wen' written. His Inspiration, however, does not seem to have been constitu? tional, and perhaps be was more a poel by art than by nature.

He poasesaed, however, a pro diglous morai fervor.mbtned with tbe torrid glow of hriiiiiini Intellect and with great sensibility, aud be was a supreme master of style. No man has ever spoken better tba word that lt was in him tu speak. Wiih the extlactiofl of Holman, almost the last of the lights of New longland lins disappeared, ll was a noble group. Daua, Percival, Emerson, Hawthorne, Longfellow, Whinier.

As Election Day spproachea tba red policy of tbe "Democrat f.r reformers clearer, it is evldenl that, so far as gay effective anti-Tammany combination is cob what they want ls Their purpose is un langer In doubt how close has l.n tin ir anderstandlag arith their real hitherto allies is not yet apparent, but bow light is thrown upon them every day.

The action by lha Brooklyn Board of Education for the purpose ut rrilevlag tbe crowded condition of many of the public schools of thal city wm meei wnh tin- approbation of all righi thinking i.pie. The only (gull to be found willi it ls thai lt was nut taken early enough to supply the relief that is called tor at the present moment.

Tba state of things re vealed la the report of the committee which quired into Hu.million of the schools iu the crowded dlstrids is astounding. The repori shows ihat the imber of children who attend on half time that is, for only one-half of each day is thai the number nf children In whole day classes wbo are aol provided with regular sittings ls and that the children whom was refused at the begin? ning of the school year number 3,600, The total not accommodated only poorly accommo? dated ls thus 14,332. if one-half those mi half timi' in- deducted, still remains a total of 10fill; hut adding io this those children occupy unsuitable rooms, never Intended for the total number of children for whom additional accommodations needed will not fall below 14,000. That is emili Hun now. Tin- normal Increase per year is about sn thal Unless sollie! IlillK Speedily lo Increase the school capadty of Brooklya lhere will be almost 20,000 children virtually shut otu nf Hu.

public m1i.mb a year hence. Tin- situation is Indeed serious, and, In tbe words of the committee, "calls thi- most prompt ami vigorous action" mi tin- part of the Board of Education ami the dty authorities, Tin- committee ai lin- meeting of thi- Hoard lasi week made a number of Important recotn mendatlona, which, we an- glad to say, were unanimously adopted hy lin- Board.

But lt is plain that there Is no time to ba lost. It is unfortunate thal the situation was not thoroughly grasped earlier.

Ta find fault on ihis score, however, would be idle now. rms is the time for action, bet the Board do all bj its power with Its present resuiircea. and then take pains to see that additional funds are sup? plied. Tha taxpayer, whose children are shut oul of the schools have every reason to feel that they have been defrauded, mid Indeed sonic law? yers question whether they would not have a valid ground for suits against the city. The city should feel hound to take Kiich action tis will prevent that question from ever being pn-ssi-d tu derision in the courts.

MONEY ASH lt Us is ESS. October opens with a larger business than thal of September, aa ls natural. The ly payments ord ina ri ly swell transactions, and If thi- fall trade amounts to anything, it ls felt by the first week of October. Thus In ship? ments of goods and In through hanks the over September or August nhould be conalderabie, although th.re has been a notlce atile decrease In orders for goo.ls deliverable In tba future.
