nothing could be more effective. Ii Is Conceded
however, that the agitation Of the subject Is in

the danger of standing s'short" of gold and bor-
rowing Il from dav to day instead of on time
The stock market is weak. Money continues

The report Of the board Of investigation on
the burning of the steamer wawaset, first given
to the public in yesterdays STAR, contains
some good suggestions as to precautions against
similar disasters in future, such as guarding
against the charring and firing of wood-wo
by the heat OF the boilers. and providing for
the supervision Of the government inspectors
over the drill and discipline of steamboat crews.
The inspectors Of the wawaset are commended
in the report, and 1t is agreed that they were
correct In their certificates as to the substantial
character Of the boat and her machinery and
the boroughness Of her equipments in &C.
cordance with law. The question arises, how
ever, whether 1t was not the business of the
inspectors to ascertain IL the officers of the boat
were licensed according to law. II that Is not q
part Of their duty It should be made so. The
report seems to have ignored the strong testi-
imony going to show the grounds on which the
company or officers Of the boat had reason to
believe they were entitled to carry one hun
dred and fifty passengers. The Baltimore
American referring to the report says that in
the case of Engineer Nash he sis made the
scapegoat for the sins OF his employers and
superiors-" The American forgets that In all
such cases public opinion in this country
demands that somebody be "made an
example Of" Without arguing the ques-
ton Of the culpsbility OF the officers of
the Wawaset, one or all of them-that
Will be fixed by the coming judicial
inquiries-it is safe to say that hundreds of
steamers on American waters are daily naviga-
ted by men no wiser, no Drawer, no better quail
fled for their duties and no better fitted to meet
great emergency. This last Mentioned test
mines 70 nee' a great emergency-is one
"-smboat inspectors cannot apply at
W. and it is the most important. Yet an in
spection Of the personnel as well as material
q steamboats, may do some good, as affording
partial answer, at least, to the important ques-
tions Of the Philadelphia Ledger, 'whether the
other passenger boats plying on our rivers are
equipped as the law directs and whether those
to whom their management is left are at per-
sons, or have to perform too many duties, or any
extra duties inconsistent with the safety Of the
crowds Of passengers they frequently carry"

whether he is bound to find fire and light for
the convenience of the enamored.
