He could not but know. no capable com
mander could fail TO know, when he had
nearly traversed the breadth OF the Atlantic
II he had known with absolute certainty that
he was not cables length out of his course
his prudence could not be impeached; but no
commander of a steamship could know that
after four days of thick fog. Even if it were
not doubtful how far the compass can be re
he'd on in an iron ship, there is no certain
means of estimating the imperceptible effect
OF currents in the ocean. In point Of fact
Captain Thomas was several miles out Of his
course without knowing it. But he did know
that he had nearly crossed the Atlantic. did
know that the coast he was approaching
is dangerous, and he had no moral right, In
his ignorance as to whether his ship had been
detected from her course, to imperil the lives
Of his passengers by advancing further 50 long
as the fog continued. Even constant sound
ing land il does not appear that there was
any sounding at all) would not have insured
safety unless he knew that he could approach
land only by shelving Shore and he could
not have known that in his total ignorance Of
his whereabouts. Had he headed his ship
the other way and sailed slowly back and
kept moving slowly back and forth for dis
lance OF few leagues, until the fog lifted, he
would have pursued the only proper course
that was open to him in his certainty that he
had nearly crossed the ocean and his uncer-
tainty as to his distance from dangerous
lad 10 nv
1t is painful to criticise the dead,
but the press owes duty TO
the living STILL the fault of Captain
Thomas was less his own than that of
the company which employed him. That
company, like all the new companies, prides
itself on quick passages, making them the
means Of bidding for the patronage of an i'm
patient public. A long voyage is tedious, sea
sickness is disagreeabe, danger Is despised
by thoughtless ignorance, and the joint pres
sure OF employers and passengers is not easily
resisted by a commander whose place and
popularity depend on the shortness Of his
trips and the punctuality OF his arrivals. We
hope the steamship companies will learn wis
dom from the disasters which shock the world
and shake confidence in their lines, and that
they may give such instructions to their
officers as will preclude future calamities like
that which overlook the Schiller. 1t is note
worthy that the oldest line of transatlantic
s.eamers-the Cunard-has never met with
loss which is a pretty conclusive refutation Of
the idea that these shocking disasters are due
to accident and not to mismanagement.

The GovERSoR's MTssAGE on municipal
Gfairs was sent to the Legislature yesterday
and is printed in our columns this morning.
It is an elaborate and careful review Of past
legislation on this subject, and concludes with
q recommendation for tie appointment Of
commission to report 70 the next Legislature
the forms Of laws or constitutional amend
ments required for the future. II is evi-
dent that the tinkering Of charters for our
great cities must cease even if the constitu-
tionaI amendments already adopted do not
make all such legislation nugatory, and q
general law, wise and comprehensive in its
provision, take the place Of the present i'll

attained By some such course as tie Governor
recommends, and tie sooner it il done the

bis friends to entertain such an ambition
why not say so as a matter Of truth and
opinion, caring little for the opposition Of the
President2
The whole tendency Of Grants rule has
been to make the party subservient to the ad-
minisration, and, consequently, it is no
longer an active, healthy organization, repre-
senting certain principles and aiming to
identify them with the country. 1t is simply
body guard of the President. There is no
strength in the republican party outside Of
President Grant 80 long as men like Sargent

intrigues for a third term.

The great international contest BE-

ers. ct long range. will take place al

Interest in this match has been incrsas-
ing a. the time for the contest approach
%. The American team, Of which Har-

mostly New Yorkers, has been in Ire
land since the 20th instant. where they
have been received with warmth and
have been the recipients Of magnificent
and generous Inequalities. Whatever
may be the result Of the shooting. II is

mined that the American team shall bear
away with then pleasant rccollections Of
their visit to tho Green Isle. The names
Of the Irish team have not been tels-
graphsd but they are probably nearly Il
not quito the Same who 30 nearly won
against our boys at Creedmoor last year.
The American team Is also nearly idsnti-
cal with that which won in that contest,
and the Irishmen will have to do some

where but few are accustomed to han
