Democratic Presidential aspirants are coming
10 the front on the new silver certificates. The
faces of Hancock, 1den probably and Hen
bricks will appear on the two, five and ten
dollar certificates respectively. Either because
the supply gave out or for some other reason
not apparent, the one-dollar certificate is to
bear the yignette of Martha Washington. II
is announced that this will be the finest paper
money ever issued That statement must be
taken with allowance. Only the workmanship
and printing are meant.
That care is essential in the preservation of
Government property is too PLAIN TO require
argument; but is there not danger of gong
100 far in this direction in some cases 7 The
inquiry is prompted 10y the statement in to-days
Washington dispatches that a board of survey
composed of three army officers is soon to as
scmble in this city TO investigate the loss OF
one Springfield carbinc" The oarbine should
be accounted for Of course, but could IT. not be
looked after by less than three able bodied
officers If the same watchfulness pervaded
all branches of the Government. there would
he no need of looking for the era of true econ
omy. 1t would be already here.
How the Oregon was sunk has been demon
etrated at last--at least Captain Cheney, who has
been investigating the matter, and who de
scribed his theory 10 the National Board Of
Steam Navigation yesterday, has proved 1t TO
his own satisfaction 1t is his idea that the
schooner that did the business, which was the
Charles w. Morse. struck the steamship, not
with its bow as might be supposed. but with It's
stern, and he seems TO make out pretty fair
case. That this will he accepted as finally dis
posing of the matter is hardly likely. The dis

Can be brought out that will tend to prevent
a similar disaster TO of the swift ocean
hDers.
The gratifying low death rate that prevails
in this city Is doubtless TO be attributed to the
GOODNESS of the summer Measured by figures
abe temperature of the last three months was
not greatly below the average, but the number
Of hot days has been small and the summer as
o whole has been enjoyable. 1t has happened
more than once in recent years that hot wave
has visited in September thus making up for
shc heat which we escaped earlier in the season.
September this year has opened delightfully."-
md there is yet no indication that several DAYS

us The absence Of some deadly diseases is
perhaps in a degree due to increased vigilance
On the part Of the sanitary authorities.
The figures furnished 10y Corporation Counsel
Lacombe in another column satisfactorily sup
plcment the statement from him which we
printed yesterday and justify his assertion
that the expenses of appraising land for the
aqueduct have not been extravaganza 1t ap-
pears that in part at least the awards have been
materially less than the amounts claimed.
This is as it should he. Owners Of land re-
quircd for public uses invariably magnify Its
value. large sum has been paid for adver-
Using, but these advertisements are required by
statute and this expense cannot he avoided.
The present indications are that when the ap-
pralsal commissioners finish their work there
will bc no reason TO complain that they have
not exercised due economy.
1t is always wise TO hear both sides and so
THE TRIBUNE In its special cable dispatches to-
