could be- no better or more conclusive answer
to all the criticisms Of the National banking
system, which have been made by the Secretary
Of the Treasury and the President and no more
effective defence against the mischicvous feel
ing Of hostility which leading Democrats have
so carefully cultivated in that party respecting
the National banking system. If the banks
come TO the front, with Il certain degree OF
promptncss and unanimiy and show that they
are able to be in truth effective agents Of the
Government at any time Of necessity. the men,
Der Of Congress who tries to assai them In future
will find his task considerably more difficult.
The question Of gold will not trouble them
seriously. They now hold about Sal 100000
of gold not held by the Treasury. If they should
spare the whole Of it. that would only make
times much better and business so much more
confident and active that they could recoup
within few months. But most of them would
use exactly the reserve which syndicate bankers
have been calculating 10 use, though they really
have no more control over it than other banks
If the National bankers throughout the country
claim their right to make bids for the bonds
and call for their correspondents to provide the
gold and forward it To- such amount as may be
necessary. they will not find anybody short. But
they will leave a bond syndicate without power
to pocket S150O0OOO profit by using the money
which belongs in large part to the National banks
throughout the country

WHAT NATIONAL BANKS CAV no.

The Treasury has offered bonds in such fash
ion as TO warrant the BELIEF that Il does not
want the bonds 10 he taken. excepting by 4
syndicate Therefore His Is Just the time for
the National banks to show their usefulness.
If each Of them will make known its readiness
to act as agent for AIRY person who wishes TO
subscribe for bonds there will at once he several
thousand centres Of activity. and it is not i'm
probable that these banks may find subscribers
enough to take the entire loan. leaving syndi-
Gates ont Of the question entirely. Each Of the
banks may with perfect propricty charge Gus
toners small commission for doing The bust
ness, If it plcascs There is not the least chance
that any Of them will ask as biz profit for
doing it as the syndicate made last February.
Every National bank can readily advise its
customers what i pei cent bond is worth on
3 per cent basis It would he an easy matter
for them. II Tie banks take the business into
their own hands, 10 raise subscriptions amount
ing 10 S1O0,OOO,OOO. They can name the figure at
which they will forward bids and their custom
crs need have no bother about il. The question
remains whether they will get the bonds But
If they bid anywhere near what the bonds are
worth, and in amount large enough TO cover
the loan, they will probably get them The bank
crs' syndicate does not mean 10 bid unless il
can pocket profit Of sundry millions in the
transaction.
The National bankers have more than one rca-
son for activity in this matter. BY far the
strongest argument yet urged in favor Of the
National banking system is that these insiitu-
tons, in time Of any financial emergency, will
be found efficient and invaluable aids to the
Government. as they were In time of war 1t is
quite within their power 10 make this loan a
great success and 10 ovcrwhclm the Secretary
Of the Treasury and the President with subscrip-
tons which ii Is possible neither Of them ex-
poets or desires Only the banks must move
quickly and with considerable unanimty. They
will have 10 act rs II they were In very deed
and truth National and not private banks. There

MR. LESTICE HISCOCK.

The selection by Governor Morton Of Frank
II. Hlscock, Of Syracuse, as Justice of the SUI
preme Court. in the place Of Judge Nann, who
was promoted to the Court Of Appeals bench
is in all respects an admirable one Judge HIS
cock. who is nephew Of ex-senator Hscock,
distinguished himself as a student at Corneii'
and at graduation, although said to be the young
est man in his class. was recognized rs one OF
the intellectual leaders in the university com
munity. He is not yet forty years OF age, Du'
has already won Il wide reputation for superior
legal requirements, unusual skill and ability as
an advocate and the strctcSt integrity. Ihere
IS every reason to believe that he will make Il
judicial record Of the highest order.
Much apprehension has been manifested lest
the withdrawal of some Of the best material In
branches Of the Appellate Division throughout
the State would leave the trial and equity terms
Of the court too greatly weakened. The remedy
for whatever evil may be threatened from tins
cause is evidently to be found in the careful
selection Of all new candidates for the Supreme
Court. whether BY appointment or election. III
the precedent which Governor Morton has set
in nominating Mr.. Hiscock Justice in the
With Judicial District shall be followed by all
judicial conventions in the future the result in
a few years will be 20 make of the Supreme

ANOTHER GOOD APPOINTMENT.

Mayor WurStrr continues TO announce his
heads of departments one ut time. In order
10 do that he must have confidence that every
one of his appointments will meet with public
favor If he wanted to slip bad man into
office, he would find 1t most convenient to bunch
him In with respectable men Of whom people
would speak kindly. and so let the other pass
with Il shrug Of the shoulder. Instead he has
chosen to subject his appontecs one by one to
scrutiny and criticism That speaks we'll for his
own faith in them. and the way each one has
borne the scrutiny without exciting anything
but pleasant comment Is testimony to the wis

One of the most important duties Of the Vencz
uelan Boundary Commission when ii meets to-
day will be the selection OF secretary The
Commission has absolute power to choose such
officers and assistants as may be needed. For
the office of secretary It is obvious that man
possessing peculiar qualifications Is required.
He should have a large acquaintance with pub
lie affairs. should be an accomplished linCnst
and. moreover. should have good executive abili-
ties and be able TO relieve the Commissioners
Of all routine work. The names of several men
are known to have been under consideration. To
select the iittest one for the place is not likely
TO be an easy task for the Commission.

One Of the most noteworthy things in connec-
ton with the opposition To Platts scheme Tor

Schieren. who declares that he sees the matter

II two years ago. and that he Is exceedingly

A decided step in the right direction has been
taken by the Board Of Estimate In the approval
of bills providing for the expenditure by the city
Of 81. 100000 for the erection and improvement
OF buildings in the Department Of Charities and
the Department of Correction. The necessity Of
enlarging the Tombs and the Penitentiary has
lately been brought before the public by Commits
siOner Wright, and those familiar with the con
dition Of the other ISLAND institutions are well
aware that they are inadequate for the accom-
mediation Of the large number Of inmates. Con
siderations Of both humanity and decency call
for better quarters for these people. With the
approval Of the city authorities, there ought to
be no question Of the early passage Of these
measures.

Our neighbors in Jersey City are not to receive
Immediately the full benefit Of the improved
water supply to which they have been looking
forward. The amount promised them was 90
100000 gallons per day, but it was found yes
terlay that the Newark main, through which
Jersey City is TO receive its supply is not capa-
cious enough 10 meet the demands upon 1t. and
that Jersey City must be content with only
little more than half of the amount required.
Hence considerable proportion of the inhab-
