rid of bad accounts, and wedding out the
bankrupt or weak concerns, and after all TINS
period of liquidation general smash Is NOT
possibe. 1t has been etfectually prevented
because il has been generally apprehended.
II would be a serious mistake to suppose,
however. that there is not real embarrassment
in business. The effects of extravaganza, OF
excessive railroad building, and OF over-pro-
duction of securities will be felt for some time
The interesting little boy who wanted to eat
his cake and have it too WAS never able to
manage il, and the children OF larger GROWTH
who call themselves the Nation do find and VIII
find the same difficulty. To make the nature OF
that difficulty clear we have only to remember
that the country has to supply all its needs ana
wants with q certain number OF days lapor;
for illustration we may suppose that 1t SPENDS
ont of every ten days five for food, three for
Clothing and shelter, and one for pleasure leav-
ing one for savings. Now, if we eat and drink
more, so that 1t takes six days work TO supply
those wants, and if we also dress and live more
extravagantly so that the cost Is TOUR days
labor and then spend two days labor In build
ing more railroads, we shall run into DEBT De-
fore the year ends In exactly this way we nave
been running behind, and large failures are the
consequence. But the trouble was expected,
so that there can be no panic.
1t is not always possible to ascertain when
the process of settlement is complete. Since
@hope springs eternal in the human breast
we are all apt to believe that difficulties are
entirely settled and removed when they are
not But there is good reason to believe that
the bottom has been reached in many branches
of business. In iron, for instance, we see that
the decline in price has caused the closing OF many
furnaces and the curtailment OF production.
The lard and provision market is certainly III
q healthier state since the great failures. IN
doubtedly the leather business will ADJUST IT
self to natural conditions of supply and de-
mand, now that the only firm that had the
power or disposition to control the price has
gone down. 1t may be that the market for Sc
curities has not yet reached a solid basic, but
there is much reason in recent events to hope
that it has At all events, we are working
steadily toward a settlement in all departments
of trade, even if in some it has not yet been
reached. When that settlement has been COM
pleted, a revival of prosperity is to be expected

TANMANY AND THE STATE COMMITTEE.
The Democratic State Committee will meet
at Saratoga Tomorrow. The Committee is
charged with the duty of choosing time and
Mace for holding the State Convention. Per-
hama as city article which we publish
this morning points out, it will do more than
this. 1t might properly call attention TO the
resolution CT the State Convention of last year
in regard to the manner of selecting delegates
TO future Conventions from this city. Ii it
does decide to take this additional step, 1t will
be because it is not afraid of sTammany Hall
and therefore is disposed to coerce it into line.
IF the step is not taken it will be fair to assume
that the State Committee, equally with Gov
ernor Cleveland, entertains the opinion that
John Kelly is an uncommonly good man not TO
try conclusions with. President John Reilly,
OF the Board of Aldermen of this city, ex-
presses the belief that the COMMITTEE will do
nothing at to-m0rrow's meeting except issue
the regulation call for the Convention. IL
"know," says Mr.. Reilly in an interview with
World report ter, "that the last State COnven-
ton passed q resolution saying that the dele
gates to the Convention of 1888 should be
selected at primaries held under the direction
"of the State Committee, but l don't think
the resolution will be held as binding. The
Committee may decide that it would be to the
interests of the party to have united Dem
"ocratic delegation sent from this city to the
Convention, but hardly think the Committee
will 90 into the primary election business"
These views of so sagacious and experienced
a Democrat as MI. Reilly would be more sat-
isfactory if he bad explained on what ground
the action Of the Democratic State Convention
of last year will be held IS not "binding."
The State Convention unanimously adopted
this resolution. Who kicks against itY Who
declines to be governed by it'll Not the
County Democracy, which was declared by the
Committee on Contested Seats of year ago
to be the aregularn Democratic organization
of this city, but Tammany Hall. 1t is John
Kelly Kelly, who defeated Lucius Robinson !;
Kelly who hung up Governor Cleveland's
nomination for immigration Commissioner
who nov once more shows his power and indc-
pendence by snubbing the Recommendation OF
last years Convention and. the State Com
mittee. He does not.purpose TO allow the cleo
ton of Tammany delegates to be meddled with
by any body Of men, least of all by State
Committee whose chairman periodically calls
him bad names and reads him out of the party.
Kelly is for harmony-of course he is; but all
the same he tramples upon the resolution of
the Syracuse Convention. What will the State
Committee do about it tomorrow Not hav-
ing the courage to sit down upon man who
controls some $4,000 votes, the Committee
will most likely find it convenient to agree
with Mr. Reilly that the resolution is not bind
ing. We do not believe it is binding on John
Kelly. The Democracy have always discov-
cred that he was hard man to bind.

However, there seems to be no more prooa-
bility of their being supplied with snch an ar
ticle than there is of all bank directors ever DC
coming impressed with the Importance OF at
tending to their duties. A slight examination
into the affairs of the Warren bank by the d.
rectors at any time for several months previous
to Cashier Fitch's flight would have exposed
his pecclations. The excuse that they had
known him for years and reposed in him the
utmost confidence has been used on too many
similar occasions to he acceptable. The deiu-
sion that Wall Street offers safe, easy anu

bank officers who ought to know better NO

no way excuses the directors from evading
their responsibilities to the public.

Inspector Esterbrook is right in refusing to
grant permits for bay windows to project three
feet and six inches beyond the street line.
The law does not give him such authority.
But it is amusing to have cited the opinion Of
the Board of Aldermen that such Entertainments
are illegal. There are many hundred such
windows in the city erected by the express
permit, in each case, Of the Board of Alder
men. 1t has long been one of the chief occu-
patioDs of that body to grant privileges of
chat kind; and for it to come forward now
and assert the iDegality of its own acts looks
a good deal like "strike"

The entrance of the thermometer into the
nneties again has had marked effect on the
death rate of the city. SO far this year. how
ever, the mortality has been much less than
it was in the corresponding period of 1882.
The number of deaths up to yesterday, in the
summer months was 1000 less than during
the same time last year. The mild tempera-
ture has had good deal to do with this i'm
proved showing. We may have considerable
warm weather yet, but it is improbable that
the annual death-rate will be so high as in
1882, when 1t was 1884 The absence of
contagious diseases gives promise of a rate of
mortality for the year not to exceed
20 in 1000 of population. 1t is pleasure
to be able to say that some of the credit for
this improvement is due to more efficient
methods in municipal administration. The
streets of the city are kept cleaner now than in
former years, while the efforts of the Health
Department to improve the condition of the
tenement house districts have not been with
out success.
