STOCKS DULL AND STRONG.

STOCKS DULL AND STRONG.
The stock market was duh and quiet for the gen.
eral list and active and strong for Erie, North
western and Pacific Mail. Erie was subject to the
stereotyped influence of the London quotation,
which advanced enough to occasion a rise in this
market to 575S. Pacific Mail felt the effect OF the
dissolution of another OF the many injunctons and
advanced to 73s4. Northwestern was active, as II in
the hands of new party and rose from 72a to 1914.
Western Union sold at 75H Otherwise the changes
were Slight, but almost entirely for the better the
general market being firm and closing with the

spOndingly steady, the dial haVing nio'o" on'y
twice up to quarter Of four O'Clock ana thrlce only
in the remaining fifteen minutes OF business the
excessive ~ activity in this closing quarter OF an
hour being due to the fact that cart load OF silver
bars was driven under the windows OF the Gold
Room on its way to European express companys
ONCE near by. Meantime the cable and the land
wires had been busy In circulating rumors from
Geneva and washington that the ghost Of the ques-
ton OF indirect damages had been finally laid by
decision OF the tribunal declaring such claims
tenable. Despite this gratifying intelligence the
effect on gold was to lower 1t only an
eighth per cent-viz to 113A. But soon after
the wagon load OF silver came along, and
as 1t was also reported that foreign banking house
had put up 100000 gold for shipment lat some
future time not stated gold stened to 1887 again,
only to sink once more to 113A-the closing reac-
ton being due to considerable scepticism to the
commences OF the silver bars which were paraded
under the windows OF the board In the gold loan
market the rates ranged from to per cent for
carrying. The operations Of the Gold Exchange
Bank were lows:-G0ld cleared, $50, III, 900;
gold balances, $1,O64,5S7; currency balances,
$l,2sl.6l3. The Sub-Treasury paid out $13O,OoO on

STEAMSHIP SUBSIDIES,

We do not favor the subsidizing of any line
of Ocean Steamships to run from our own
ports to those Of Western Europe. The people
of Great Britain. France. and Germany, hav-
ing the start of us i'll Arts and Manufac-
lures, are only too happy to exchange their
Wares and Fabrics for our Food, Cotton, and
other raw, bulky staples. The advantage in such
a trade is all on their side, and they may be
trusted to furnish as many Steamships as the
trade will warrant
But in trading with countries whose industry
is ruder and more primitive than Ours-those
of Spanish America and Australia, China and
Japan, for example-the advantage is on our
side. We sell them Axes, Saws Sewing-Ma-
chimes, serviceable Fabrics, &C., and receive IN
exchange raw materials and the precious metals.
1t is and long will be our interest to cultivate,
foster, and extend this trade, which depresses
none of our own Industries, but stimulates
and expands them ALL
We look therefore, with favor on the pro-
pOsal of o subsidy TO the line of Ocean Steam
ers to Australia which private enterprise has
established. That line is not yet self-support-
ing, because the trade which supports it is
small, though rapidly growing. We are Aus
tralia's nearest civilized neighbour, and her
wants, in many respects, are such as our arti-
sans can best supply. Her people have done
their part toward the good work in hand; we
trust ours may do likewise. 1t may be that
the sum asked for is too large; if So
reduce it; but let us not repel the warm
hand which the young giant of the Southern
hemisphere has stretched across the Pacific to
grasp our own. We ought to havo a line OF
steamships hence through the West Indies to
the Spanish Main at or near the mouth of tho
Magdalena; we ought to run another from
Panama down the coast to the chief ports OF
Peru and Chilli If these must wait, let us at
least maintain that which already connects US
with Australia.

that VI. Theirs tried his well-worn maneuyer

should take him at his word and accept his

JOHN THOMAS AND BLACK BEE7LEs

JOHN THOMAS AND BLACK BEETLES.
The Times, we believe, still adheres TO the
conviction that no testimony has been ELECTED
at the Custom house investigation inculpating
anybody. score or so of witnesses have
sworn to facts within their own knowledge,
showing how commerce is unjustly taxed,
merchants are fleeced, dishonest officials are
protected, jobbery prOspers, and Federal pat
ronage is prostltuted to the purposes OF fac
ton; but The Times exclains; ave put it to
"any intelligent man whether testimony
of this kind proves anything. You could
"not convict u black beetle OH such evil
"dence as this" We don't know what
John Thomas judges to be necessary in
order to rid the pantry Of black beetles; but
it seems to us that testimony enough has been
obtained to rid the CustOm-house of some of
its pests If there is any heart in the scheme of
Civil Service Reform 10 which the President
is now committed. Leaving out all indirect
and hearsaY evidence, it is in proof that the
General Order system, az administered by
Leet g. Co., taxes importers to tho extent of
at least 100000 per aunum--clear profit TO
adventures who render no equivalent for it
to the public. II is proved that merchants
have been compelled TO pay constructive
storage" illegally charged by the Govern
ment upon goods which remained in the ship
1t is proved that a most odiOus and unjustG-
able method of seizure prevails at this port,
and that irresponsible informeIs have power
to sue out general search warrant, autlioriz-
ing them to take possession OF tho
books and papers of firm and
keep them for months ransacking the
records of years TO make up case upon which
they can claim an informer's moiety. The

RRIRING INNPECTORN

Mr.. L. G.. TillOtson has had the courage to
do duty from which other merchants have
shrunk. He went before the CustOm-house
Committee on Thursday and gave some highly
important testimony on the subject of brib-
ing. He told nothing which was not sus-
pected before, but he has substituted
evidence for mere suspicion, and has
indicated the sources whence additional
information can probably be obtained. The
excessive charges of the General Order ware
house have given rise, according to Mr.. Til
lotson, to general system among merchants
of bribing inspectors to retain their goods on
the pier. "The officials" says this witness,
:" are generally corrupt; L have made arrange
"ments with at least dozen, and have
"paid them money" And his experience
led him to believe that the practice among
importers was very common. Business men
dare not complain of the cxactions which drive
them to resort to bribery, because they dread the
resentment of Leet and Stocking! 81 think"
said Mr.. Tillotson, g" shall have TO pay for
my audacty in appearing here and tcstifying
as have.n
A witness who comes forward with such i'm
pOrtant statements ut such risk to himself
ought surely TO be protected by court which is

The rule or ruin clique in Louisiana appear
to be unwilling to give up tho forlOrn hope
that the President will come to their relief
with the military. The boiling members of
the Legislature have, up to this time, refused
to go into the regular organization at the
State House, and continue to meet in caucus
uneasily in various places-a sort of itinerant
club of boilers. The action of the Assembly
in expelling these malcontents is just what
might be expected, though its expediency may
be doubted. 1t is evident that the CustOm-hOuse
party have been encouraged to persist in their
conspiracy by the impunity with which Mar
shall Packard and Collector Casey, Federal
officials have defed public opinion and the
laws This view of the case makes more than
ever necessary the investigation ordered by
the House of Representatives. And we are
astOnished that there should be any suggcs-
ton that the Committee, already appointed,
may be quietly detained in Washington. The
gravest charges ever made against public
officials, short of treason or robbery, have been
preferred against those at New-Oreans. Will
any authority dare stihe an investigation into
their conduct We shall see.

State printing, always prolific source OF
jobbery and corruption, is just now receiving
considerable attention at Albany. Our Special
Correspondent directs notice to the large
amounts which have been paid for printing by
the State to Weed, Parsons & Co. during
the last four wears. It is shown that this firm
has received over 100000 during that pcriod,
of which large proportion was for printing
single small handbook. How much these figures
were increased by the persuasive powers of Mr..
TerwilHger will, perhaps, never be known.
But if the scandal which he has created results
in nothing more serious-and this rests with
the Senate-it is apparent that it will have the
effect to compel retrenchment in this branch
of public expenditure.
