THERE is just complaint ma !e by the
first mortgage bond holders of rail-
roads that their first security is prac-
tically taken from them by the
tendency prevailing in the United
States courts to issue receivers Ger
tifi ,ates with too great liberality.
Roads, which are not able to meet
their engagements, put themselves into
the custody of receivers, appointed
at their instance by the courts, aud 80
prevent their bondholders from taking
action to sell them out. On the face of it,
a receivership Isl good thing all around,
aud IL the roads in the receivers hands
would earn enough to pay their
running expenses and the interest on
the mortgage, the holders of the latter
would have no cause TO complain. But
the roads don't do this, and often don't
earn their running expenses even {; so
that IL is possible that the receivers GER
tiicates, issued for the expenses of
running the road, and which come
in before the first mortgage, may
amount to enough To take all the
proceeds Of the road when it is finally
sold. Especially does this danger
threaten when the courts allow receivers
certificates to be issued for what are not
really expenses of running the trains, but
to satisfy claims of parties who have
power to embarrass the running of the
road In some way, if Trey are not salts.

the suspicion that they are not altogether

The New YORK. Candidate.

y be New York Sun, on the day on
which the New York convention meets,
prints Nm unqualified declaration Of its
preference for Bayard over Cleveland,
declaring that whether In quality or
availability Bayard is the superior man,
and averring that Cleveland is a de-
servedly weak candidate among Demo.
Gratis because he has followed his own
sslHsh purpose by undertaking to rule
without regard to the party which made
him governor. That is veiy unjust
charge against Gov. Cleveland and ap.
pears very strangely In late Republican
and present independent journal. IL
shows very clearly an undue desire
on the part of Mr.. Dana to bring
about Cleveland's defeat 1t would
be more forcble 10 urging its preference
for Bayard, IL II was not so clearly unfair
to Cleveland. Quite possibly Senator
Bayard Is Ia man Of superior quality to
Governor Cleveland, and quality is an
essential requisite to presidential can
didate but we have plenty of men who
are up TO the standard in quality. If
that Is to be the criterion, Mr.. Randall
would not need TO be put behind any
candidate in. the race. Availability,
however, Is the crucial test, and that
means the vote commanding power.
The general opinion seems to be
strongly counter to Mr.. Dana's judg-
ment that Bayard would be as strong
q candidate as Cleveland. The latter
appears to be easily yielded the palm in
this regard, outside his own state, and ii
may even be that this opinion will prove
strong enough at Chicago to overcome
the decision Of the New York conven
tion. The apparent strength Of Cleve-
land makes il the interest of the friends
OF all other candidates to secure his de
fsat in New York, and IL the Pennsylva
mia friends Of Randall were selfish in
their aims they would welcome the local
effort TO tear down the New York
candidate that the rest of the country
has set up for her. But there is no such
mean feeling here. IL the judgment of
the country is that another candidate
than our own is stronger than he in
the race, we say let him be started. 1t
Is small business to try to drag down a
candidate in his state convention for
fear that he will be too strong in the
national convention. Senator Bayatd is
man Of honor, who would scorn such
intrigue in his behalf in New York :;
and Mr.. Dana, in lending himself to it
gives color to the accusation that no
seeks to destroy Cleveland in the hope
of the lightning striking nearer home
than Delaware.
