FINDING OFT roo MUCH.

II has already happened to Glover: the
experience of the farmer man, alluded to i'll
recent number of THE TRIBUNE, who sent his
dog down cellar as an expert to discover who
WAS stealing cider, and discovered that the
fragment of wearing apparel with which the
dog returned belonged to the trowsers seat of
his own son Bill. Indeed, it is worse than
that Gover's head expert got on q verv
fresh trail, it seems, and followed it up so
vigorously that he actually caught not only
one of the family, but himself. 1t appears
that this expert was formerly Treasury
Agent, and, while serving the Government in
that capacity, got hold of $1,000 of
Secret Service money to use in the detec-
ton of smugglers. With this money, il
is said that the detectives went to Canada and
bought goods and had them smuggled to New
York. The goods were seized and sold at q
sacrifice and tho detectives were awarded
great praise therefor, though no one was ar
rested. The Canadian merchants of whom
the purchases were made charge that these
agents swindled them out of about 81 ZOO
on goods purchased on their credit as Govern
ment officers, and That they attempted to
make large purcaa9e in addition, for which
they offered bogus check for $4,000. In
the latter case the merchant to whom they
offered the check had the forethought to tele-
graph the bank on which the check was
drawn. He found that they had no funds
there, and accordingly refused the check
These facts were not all brought out by the
Glover committee, but appear from documents
in the Treasury Department. Glover lost al
interest in the trail SO soon as it began to ap
pear where it was leading. Imagine Glover
pr0wling round in the dark in the Treasury

RJrSINESS IND FIN1NCE.

The month of March did not close satisfac-
torily. The exports Of specie, which bankers
have anticipated as not distant ever since the
silver bill began to bring home bonds. rose to
1,s3s,717 in single week, within one
month from the passage of that bill. During
the month of March the exports of
specie amounted to $2,331 COS, and in
March, 1877, the amount was only $536,OOO.
The outward movement not only begins un-
usually early, but it comes in spite OF an
enormous excess of produce exports over i'm
ports. During the four weeks ending on Sat-
urday, the imports at New-York were $24, 1885,
07O, against S31, ,487, GAL during the same time
last year, decrease of Sc, 100000. But during
the four weeks ending on Tuesday last, the

PREMIER And NATION.

Thirty-four years ago everybody in England
was interested in the social successes and polit-
ical fortunes of n young man called Con-
"ingsby," whose associates and rivals were
thought to bear striking resemblance to the
public men of the day. The craftsmanship
of the period did not keep pace with his as
pirations. He longed to have some leader,
whose earnestness would impress itself upon
the masses, step out of the ranks and
put himself at the head of pOpu-
lar movement. One passage i'll that remarka-
bic novel has a peculiar ring at the
present time, when its author has nation
pressing close behind him and clamOring for
war; "a leader who can inspire enthusiasm.
"he commands the world. Divine fac

Department looking for thieves, and finally get
ting somebody by the collar, and dragging out
into the light-his own chief expert. Could
| anything be more dscOuraging to an ardent
searcher after fraud7 May be this is the dis
cOvery that Glover was building up on when
lie came out and said "Hush !" to the country
three or four weeks ago.
Meantime, the DOOrkeeper investigation
holds its place as the only really successful
hunt for corruption during the session.
That was easy, without experts. That COM
mittee caught DOOrkeeper Polk, and
whole lot of deputies and assistants, and all
sorts Of subordinates, with scarcely an effort.
They fairly scoOped them In. And not only
dOorkeepers and such small fry; they caught
pretty nearly every Democratic member OF
Congress- For Polk had done nothing except
what he had been advised and urged to do
by these members. He had been caught. to be
sure, violating the law and doubling up his
pay-rOlls, but the dominant party in the House
was estopped from even censurlng him for it
by the fact that he had done it at their most
urgent solicitation, and because he could not
resist their opportunities. But they say
he meant well, and only erred through
they voted not to take up the report in the
case. Every Democratic member who had
said to Colonel Polk, "Put my friends name
"on your payroll whether you have place
" for him or not, and we'll see you taken care
"Of," voted against taking up the report,
and that settled it. The next thing to do is
to postpone the whole matter indefinitely, and
upon the passage of the vote to that effect
join hands around HIM and, under the lead of
Samuel Cox, sing, For he is jolly good
"fellOw, which nobody can deny"
Truly this is a Congress that investigates to
find out not to find out what actually exists
but what they hope exists. And the summing
up of results when they get through will make
an interesting chapter of political history.

exports of domestic produce from this
port amounted to $29, ,s44, against only
$17,777, ,491 last year, an increase of about
$12 100000. With favorable change of
over $1s,0OO,OOO in a single month, and in
comparison with a year in which the excess
of merchandise exports was $14O,OOO,OOO, it
would have been reasonable to expect large
imports of gold, had not legislation caused
heavy sales of Government bonds previously
held in Europe.
Last week there was some reason to hope
that sales of bonds would diminish. Unhap-
PLY they do not Apprehension of war be-
tween England and Russia, had the credit of
the United States been undisturbed, would
doubtless have greatly increased the demand
abroad for American securities. But the
officially reported sales of bonds last
week amounted to $5,148,25O, against
1886, 100 during the previous week.
But for the impairment of the public credit.
We should have been importing gold in prepa-
ration for resumption, and selling per cent
bonds abroad with which to retire 6 per
cents. Instead, we export gold, and over
$9, 600, 900 of per cent. and over $1O,5OO,-
600 of 5 per cent bonds have been sold
within the past month in open Exchange,
besides all sales over the counter. Thus
far the home market has not only
taken everything offered, but the demand
here has been so great as to raise the price in
London, in spite of very large sales. The
following shows the amount of sales, in the
Stock Exchange here, of each class OF bonds
since February %, the day of the passage of
the Silver Bill and the prices of coupon bonds
here and IN London, March 1 and March 80,
the per cents quoted being those of 1857:
