from Washington that General Newton will

with his eyes open. His appointment OF
Hubert O. ThOmpSOns hcnchman, ID. Lowber
Smith as his deputy, after all the revelations
brought out upon the hearing of the charges
against Rollin NJ Squire, showed that he had
taken Office under pledges to William r. Grace,
or that he had no intention of cleansing the
department. or that he was singuarly wanting
in the ability TO comprehend the value of the
evidence showing Smiths political relations.
II is not odd, then, that he feels dissatisfied
with the results of his work. His department
is still little else than clearinghouse for the
hangcrs-on Of the County Democracy. 1t
spends hundreds Of thousands of dollars every
wear for work which the belabOred Squire per-
formed better and more cheaply. 1t is to be
hoped that Mayor Hewitt will give the depart
ment head whose resolution and spirit arc
equal to his good intentions and who is better
citizen than partisan.

In his interview with our Washington CORE
spondent, printed on another page, Senator
Frye subjects the terms of capitulation to Can
ada which Secretary Bayard calls Fisheries
Treaty to mercicss analysis. He sustains
THE TRIBUNE in all that it alleges as to the
utter folly and worse than folly OF pretending
that the treaty is anything else than humlllat-
ing specimen of Mr.. Bayards incapacity. SEN
ator Frye's right to speak on this question will
be denied by none. He is the natural repre-

estimate of the treaty may be accepted as the
expression of their own views. As'the net re-

DUN 8 co.'s BUSINESS REVIEW.

Confused Situation, in which Stock and
Grain Markets Are Contradictory
NEW YORK, April 27.-R. G. Dun &, Co., in
their review of trade, say: The situation is
unusually confused. Advancing markets for
stocks and for grain contradict each other. The
Western reports to probable crops are more
definitely unfavorable, but the buying of stocks,
no longer entirely by professionals continues as
if much larger traffic for the future were as
sured. The Western roads show a more peace
able disposition, and exchanges at Western
cities generally indicate a largec volume of
business, while the large Eastern cities-Cincin.
natl Cleveland and New Orleaus-all report
smaller clearings than last year Until with
in the past year two, IL has al
ways happened that shrinkage in transactions
at the Eastern centers was soon followed by de-
creasng trade elsewhere; but there many
who believe that new state of things has come
in that respect. The reports of business trans
acted are by means uniformly favorable At
New Orleans the movement is light Detroit
and Milwaukee report quiet in grade, but at
most other Western points some Improvement
is noted. Collections are better at St Paul and
Kansas City, but slow or unsatisfactory at points
in Ohio. Michigan and Wisconsin,. There is
prospect that the output of iron will now i'm
