ADTICE FRON BROOKLYN.

The Brooklyn Young Republican Club
occupies an influential position in the councils
of the party in this State The loyalty and zeal
which it displayed last autumn in conducting
most energetic and dignted canvass in behalf
of Republican principles have strengthened it
in the estimation of all good citizens. The
practical ability it has shown in mastering the
details of political organization and in repeat
edly manning the polling places with we'll
disciplined and enthusiastic battalions of
volunteer workers, has commanded the adnlira-
ton even of professional politicians. The
courage, frmness and perseverance, which it has
shown in upholding the principle of nom
partisan administration of municipal affairs
have earned for it an honorable reputation as
an organization of practical reformers. The
Republican party in this State cannot afford to
dispense with the services, much less to disre-
gard the advice of this powerful club. We
gladly allow several of its leading members TO
discuss the political Situation in our columns
this morning. Their views are practical and
their counsel should be closely studied by the
political leaders in this State.
One remark of Mr.. Williams, the president o
the club, we desire to emphasize for the benefit
Of the members themselves. This relates to the
urgent necessity of sending to Albany repre-
sentatives of the highest standing. There is
no quarter of the State where the need of
reform in this respect is more pressing than in
Kings County. For years the delegation
from that county In both branches Of the
Legislature has been among the least repu-
table and tho most inefficient elected in the
State. The result has been especially dis
couraging since of late years the primary
meetings, at least on the Republican side, have
been we'll attended and the issues of municipal
politics have been raised to higher plane.
There has been no corresponding Improvement
In the character of the legislators elected in
Brooklyn. Nominations are ordinarily deferred
until the last moment and honest voters are

THE INCBE1SED WEIGHT OF LETTERS.

instead of half ounce is made tho standard weight
for letters will be in on and after July l, aud

advocates and nearly many opponents among
persons familiar with the postal service. "heh

diminished by lowering the postal rates, or the
expenses increased by providing greater facilities

this country are not as great as they should be.
The advocates OF tho system OF better service say
that the rates of postage have not been ex0rbitant

who do feel greatly slight difference IN rates.

The system however, which Of recon years has

TIE NylCK POST OFFICE CONTRACT

TIE NYACK POST OFFICE CONTR1CI.
In another part of to-day's TRIBUNE VIII be
found the first complete statement that mas
been given to the public of the facts In regaru
TO che Nyack Post Office contract on which
charges of defrauding the Government were
based. Mr.. A. Z. Christie comes maniully TO the
defence of his sister, who was recently removed
from the postmastership because of alleged COM
nlicitv in the frauds ard with virtuous lndig-
nation dcnounces the attempt to defame his
dead father. who bore an untarnished rcputa-
tion in the village for half a century. Far
from defraudng the Government, Mr. ChrisIIe
shows that his father provided Nyack with al
ditonal mail deliveries for over thirteen years.
partly out of his own pocket. The Govern
ment ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS year-was lnaue-
ouate. and he made up the deficiency. Inc
service was managed by Mr.. Christie himself.
As postmaster he was not ut liberty to take the
contract, which was given to a. ii. Coddington'
True the latter was contractor in name only
bnt there was no fraud intended or perpc-
trated. The people of Nyack were greatly ac-
commodatcd by the service and were thoroughly
satisfied with Postmaster Christie's admins
tration.
The Post Office authorities were hard pushed
to find reason for removing Miss Christie
who was extremely popular in the village anu
whose term as postmaster has three years
to run. So this charge of fraud was raked up
on the report of an inspector who was probably
anxious to curry favor with the AdmlniStra'
ton. He gave Miss Christie no opportunity
TO defend herself aud is said TO have made an
Investigation that cannot by any stretch oil
language be pronounced impartial. The con-
tract had been discontinued some time before
Miss Christie succeeded her father in the Office
but because she had been her fathers assistant,
compicty in the fraud" was alleged against
her and her instant removal was ordered. The
attempt TO besniirch her dead fathers repnta-
ton was Infamous but the POstmaster-Gen-
eral went so far rs to make formal demand
upon the executor of Mr.. Christics estate Tor
the 50, 700 which Mr.. Christie wa charged
with obtaining from the Government by fraud.
Gross Injustice has been done both To the
living and the dead in this Nyack Post Once
affair. The unselfsh effort OF the former post
master 10 give his fellow-citzcns better postal
facilities is made to appear rs Il crime, ana ms
daughter is declared to have shared his guilt
and is summarily deprived OF her Office. There
was no room here for charge of offensive
craftsmanship" and resort had to be had TO the
despicable trick of blackening the character OF
a worthy and respected man who lived and
died universally hOnorcd in the community
where he had passed his life. Such misera-
BILE device is worthy of Democratic Admins
tration but they seem to have made a bad
mess of il in this case.

MONEY md BUSINESS.

Ii would be pleasant to report substantial inn
prove nent in business or in the prospects OF
trade. but the facts do not afford the basis for
such n report. A week ago it was said that the
advance in the stock market did rot reflect any
discoyerable Improvement in the state of things
outside the Exchange. Last week the stock
market declined in harmony with other specu-
latiye markets. and the accumulation of unem-
ployel money continued, but it cannot be said
that the outlook ia IN any respect worse or
better than it was when some persons were con-
fident that "a great bull movement had come.
Many curious attempts are made to explain
the accumulation of idle money. One sugges-
ton is that large sums are coming back TO this
country which were transferred to Europe when
there was great dstrust about the silver ques
ton. But no foundation for this consolatory
view of things is found in the movements OF
cold. or in the latest official statement Of ex-
ports and imports. Money is not coming
TO this country in the shape of cash,
at all events. As for transfers by exchange,
it is enough to say that the excess OF exports
over imports OF merchandise was So, 800 600 in
May, SGT, 900 900 in the five months ending
with May, and $1G5, 800, 900 in the eleven
lnOnlnS Oh inc hStdl JtsI just ciDSine. Sllp-
ments of merchandise to Europe do not serve
as a transfer of capital from Europe to the
United States The obvious truth is that no
money is coming to this country in any form,
and for the particularly obvious reason that
there is no use for 1857, $50, 300 in cash which
the New York banks held last week. The in
crease in reserve or in surplus has not been
greater than is usual at tins season. The only
difference is that the banks which usually have
not more than $4,000, 900 on hand about the
first of April. held over 1885,, ZOO, 900 a. that
date this year, and at every other date since the
first week in January.
The Treasury gained over 81, 279, 900 in gold
owned last week, and So, 900 in silver
owned. having reduced the silver certificates
outstanding by $1,14O.O0O. As result
of this policy only 3O.7 per cent
of the duties IN New-Yorl are paid in
silver In no other direction il there
evidence of change IN the financial
| prospects, unless it may be said that recent
| political events indicate that the attempt ia
settle the silver question in harmony with the
wishes of the President seem likely to meet
more Democratic opposition than was expected.
The most extravaganza statements Of injury To
wheat have been deliberately circulated, but
the markets have utterly refused to respond, and
the decline in elevator wheat here last week
was 1a4 cents, and in corn 1i2 cents, with q
slight decline in oats. Pork is also lower and
| lard; the tone OF the iron market is rather
weaker, bur without change in price; and the
price of cotton again declined sixteenth. Tn,
most significant incident in the dry-goods mar.

ket is that, in spite of the curtailment OIL pro.
ductiop, print cloths fell to 3 cents, the lowest
price on record.
The reaction in the stock market was q nat
ural sequence of an advance which had no
reason In the state of facts. Inc snip
ments from Chicago last week were smai'er
than in any other week this year, notwlth-
standing the low rates and the careful announce
ment that rates were soon going to be Iaiseu'
Chicago shippers seem TO understand that no
conference of railroad managers can settle
rates by lake and canal. III few parties con-
trived the advance in stocks merely as q
"scaIp.p they doubtless sold when they coulu
soc nrofts. If July rise was intended to
catch the money of investors, the movementap
pears to have met with unforeseen Obstacles
or the leaders found that too many leafs ana
dogs y were taking the cream OF the rise, sur
missing the more sold stocks in CELEBRITY OF
movement and so concluded to shake OIL part
OF their following. Still. piece OF the move
ment, so to speak, did not come to an end. Gut
of oil the stocks and bonds. about twenty were
actively advanced, and of these seven advanced
little more last week, making in two weeks
an average gain of points. The remaining
thirteen declined last week over z points OH
the average, though still closing about point
higher than two weeks ago. Bat the rest OF
the market had no share to speak OF In the rise
or the subsequent fail, and closed less than
one eighth of / per cent higher thanit was two
weeks ago. This comparison shows how mar
row the movements have been. But until the
railroad managers settle their disputes, sort
of vest-pocket bull movement seems to be
about rs much as can be expected
