Washington Special; The president has
probably enjoyed nothing more, in small way,
during his term of Office than the snubbing he
has embraced the opportunity to give Assist
ant Secretary French by lifting Second Assist
ant Coon over his head and designating him to
take care of the treasury department until
Judge Folger's successor is appointed Mr.
Arthur has never been able to more than en-
dure French and would have been happy at
any time to have dismissed him on fair ex-
cuse 1t was French who did John sherman s
bidding at the time Sherman was candidate
for president, and certain man az collector
OF the important port of New York stood SO
threateningly in the way. French, upon going
to New York to investigate Arthur, was not con-
tent to execute his commission-which was
INSCRIPTIONS enough-but went out of his
way in his zeal for Sherman and in the hope
of removal to belittle the collector and bring
his Office into as much odium as possible.
There is no sympathy for French here.

No Improvement In Trade.

B1adstreet's Journal of last Saturday, in its
commercial summary for the week, will say
The Geographic advices to Bradstreets this
week, although telling of slight advances at
some points fail to reveal any decided improve
ment in the general trade situation. The cool
er weather has stimulated the demand for
heavy drygoods and clothing. The seaboard
cities send no news of special moment, save
that at Boston belief appears to prevail IN an
early improvement in the drygoods movement.
General trade at Boston is reported more satls-
factory in volume than in prices. Going west,
Cleveland complains of the fiat iron market
while St Louis rates a slight improvement in
iron The San Francisco correspondent tells of
quicker sales of drygoods, but sends no
other good word. At st. Paul wheat has
been somewhat lowered in grade owing to In
jury by rain. The price at Fargo for No. l
hard is IS cents, and at Grand Forks 81 cents.
The Minnesota farmers are persistlng In their
refusal to sell At some western points the
farmers are borrowing money where possible,
boarding their grain The coal trade shows
no Improvement, and iron is unchanged, save
as regards the better demand at st. Louis.
The iron men are awaiting developments IN
the coal trade. The New York dry goods
market has been helped by the cool weather.
Cotton continues neglected by spectators, and
spots and futures have had further decline

cate that the weather has continued too dry

has been less active, but there has been no
weakening of prices at any point

Not an encouraging report is that
recently made of the acreage under
cultivation in ireland. 1t shows that
OF land devoted to cereal, green, and
flax crops there are 94,67S acres less
under tillage this year than last. This
falling off is reduced by an increase OF
30, GAG acres meadow and clover land.
The net decrease, therefore, is 63,732
acres, which is nearly 1.3 per cent.
This evidence of diminished attention
to agriculture is somewhat frightened
by the returns showing that between
1888 and 1884 there has been an in
crease in the number of cattle amount
ing to 1894; of sheep, 24,261; OF
horses and mules, 928. But there has
been q decrease in the number of pigs
amounting 70 AZ, 1859.

Reports of failures are still numerous,
and some of them of great magnitude.
but the general outlook is by no means
dscOuraging. In nearly every promi-
nent case, liabilities are so far in excess
of assets, as to cause wonder why a
failure did not sooner occur. A failure
sooner or later, was inevitable. The
craze for doing a large business on
small capital, and dependence on I'M
limited credit-which is apt to fail at
just the time when most wanted-is at
the bottom of nearly all the most dis
astrous reverses. Those who conduct
business in a more careful way are not
those who are complaining loudest of the
times. They are comparatively pros
porous, even in seasons when others go

General Wolseley of the British army.
has arrived in Egypt to take command
of the military expedition up the Nile
for the relief of Khartoum, and it has
been alleged that his Red river expe-
dition in 1870, when he subdued the
Winnipeg rebellion, gave him the ex-
perience necessary to success III Egypt.
General Wolseley's Red river expedition
consisted of four companies of British
regular soldiers, who were transported
20 Thunder Bay, at the head of Lake
Superior. in excellent steamboats,.
Their march from there to Winnipeg
vas along fertile country, with good
rails for part of the distance, and nav
gable lakes and easy portages for the
rest of the way. The march lasted but
twenty or twenty-five days; supplies
were easily carried; thewmet no resist
snee: the entire hostile force against
which the expedition was directed con-
listed of but few hundred French and
Indian half-breeds under the command
of Louis RieI, mere boy in years, and
but little better than crank in Other
respects; they all fled at the approach Of
the little British force. General Wolse-
" has since distinguished himself upon
two occasions. where the difficulties tC
be encountered were not very serious
His present task is surrounded witt
great obstacles, but there seems to DC
but little doubt of his success among
his countrymen.

General Crook was severely criticised
some months ago for demanding that
his agreement with the rebellious
Apache Indians be complied with, he
assuring the Government authorities
that if that were done the Indians would
become peaceable and industrious. The
Government, after time, reluctantly
consented to do as he requested, and the
result has been most gratifying. Crook
has treated the Apaches humanely, not
withstand their inhumanity, and as re-
suit, he says, they are taking decided
interest in agriculture and stock-raising
and appear anxious to have their chill
dren educated. He also says in recent
letter that there is not in the state OF
Pennsylvania village of the same pop
ulation more peaceable and law-abiding
than the 5000 Apaches on the San Car,
los Reservation. 1t is greatly hoped
that Crooks policy may soon be extend
ed to the other tribes of American In
dams, and the loss of many lives and
much money thereby saved.
