Of the testimony taken Friday before
the New York Senate railroad committee
in its investigation Of the Broadway fran
chise, in which Mrs. Schuyler Hamilton
testified that silverware stolen from her
house in Jan. 1885, was traced to Alder
man Jaehue's place of business in Broome
street, where two thieves had sold it and
where it had been melted up. the Mug
wump New York Times of Saturday
says: Not since the exposure OF the
Tweed ring has there been revelation SO
shocking and so disheartening to decent
American men and women, and especially
to decent New Workers, as the testimony
taken yesterday before the Senate investl-
eating nommittee. Even the Tweed ring
did not seem to ramify so far nor to spread
30 foul faint. The first impression that
is derived from this horrible story must
be that if all the officials of the municipal
government of New York were to be
locked mp in State prison in body and
set at hard and useful labor, there would
be no mixture of injustice in the Justice
that would thus be done"

Hon. George Z. Weeks closed his term
as mayor of the city. yesterday, with the
hearty respect of our citizens for the man.
ner in which he discharged the duties OF
the office the past year. Mr. Weeks gave
large share of personal attention to the
affairs of the city, much to the loss or his
own pocket. Though the rate of taxa
ton was less last year than it had been
before, the appropriations were sufficient
to meet all expenses and leave the
city $4,000 less in debt than at the close of
the preceding year. Economy and at.
tention to duty marked every depart
ment OF the government. No expenses
for litigation were incurred, the streets,
sidewalks and sewers were attended to
faithfully, and the management of the city
Government passes into new hands in q
NEST excellent condition Mr.. Weeks has
made a good record and our citizens APP.
,reciate what he has done.

The reports from the business and trade
centres to Bradstreet's contain the old
story of a continued dizziness in trade;
with few marked indications of improve
ment. At St. Louis and in the Southwest
business has been virtually at standstlll,
owing to the continued interruption to
traffic over the five Gould Southwestern
railways and over the Texas Pacific line.
This has had an indirect effect on business
here in the East where it has been only OF
moderate proportions. Though the in
dustrial situation remains still unsettled
on account of labor discomfort and the
prevalence of strikes and shut-Outs, there
is still a feeling of confidence in improve
ment in the near future. There were 21l
business failures reported last week against
227 the previous week, and 2SO in the
second week in March. 1885, 1856 in 1884,
233 in 1888, and III in 1882. The total
number of failures in the United States in
1886 to March u is 2739, against 1927 in
ten weeks in 1885, decline this year of
4SS, or an average of nearly 40 weekly
since Jan. |. The total in ten weeks of
1884 was 2693. or As less than in 1886; in
1888 it was 2604, and in 1882, 1859.

An interesting passage at arms took place
in the House on Thursday when Congressman
Hepburn, of Iowa. aked his democratic col
league, Mr.. Weaver, if he had not said dur
ing the recent State campaign in Iowa that
President Cleveland had removed all cattle
intruders from the Indian Territory. Mr.
Weaver replied: 81 am glad the gentleman
asks the question. He affords me an oppor-
tunity to apologize to the whole country and
to my constituents for having made state
ment which believed then to be correct. but
which | now ascertain was not correct"
This confession is manly in Mr.. Weaver, but
if it were demanded of every democratic ora
tor who had advanced party promises and as
surances since July, 1884, their regretful
apologies and sad admissions would form a
belt of words long enough to encirce the
globe - Tribune.

"Dan' Dalton's humiliation was completed
to-day by the Ohio House of Representatives,

geant-at-Arms Alien to purge himself Of

since Dalton appeared before the House and

ordered to Jail for contempt, was released by
habeas corpus, and by democratic judge re-

cided against Dalton. Still he remained in
Cincinnati but expressed willingness to
give up the returns, which we're held by the
