The Paris Chamber Of Commerce has recently
been engaged upon the pleasant task Of reckoning
up how much money was poclIeted by France an
the result of last years Exhibition on the banks
Of the Seine; and it has just issued its report
on the subject. From this il appears that the
deposits at the Bank Of France were SIS. 600, 900
in excess of the normal total while those in the
private banks show an increase Of 81 :, ,O00, 900
Americans stated to have cashed checks and
letters Of credit at Paris during the year 10 the
tune OF $40, 100000. The little steamers on the
Seine nctted an increase Of $500 600. and the
Metropolitan or "CeLnture Railroad COMPANY
an additional 81 400, 900. The amount earned
by the owners Of cabs and carriages cannot he
even approximately estimated. But. with view
OF illustrating the enormous profits realized by
these people, the report mentions the proprietor
Of a small wagonette which made thirty-three
journeys to and from the Champ de Mars every
day, carrying each time eight persons at a franc
a head, thus earning 800 per diem during tho
entire six months that the Exhibition remained
open.

A large degree of creduity is required to ac-
cept as truthful the story told by Jared Safer
before the Congressional Committee at Little
Rock in regard to the alleged murderer OF
j. NJ. Clayton. 1t cannot be accepted at all
without corroboration, particularly as what
Safer says about Hooper is in direct conflict
with the testimony of Mrs. Hooper, who swore
on Wednesday that her husband died some SIX
weeks before Clayton was assassinated and
that he had not been in Arkansas for twenty
wears. 1t is admitted that Safer refused to come
before the committee unless his railway fare TO
Little Rock was paid What other inducement
was offered him does not yet appear, but it is
evident that his narrative demands thorough
sitting.

The still hint in reference to the Aqueduct
Claims bill, % which we directed attention a
week ago, is still in progress at Albany, and at
any moment it is possible that the bill may be
called up in the Assembly and rushed through.
Contractor OBren spent last week in Albany,
and it is understood that a careful canvass of
the Assemblymen is being made. The moment
il is found that sufficient number of votes has
been secured to pass the BILL it will doubtless
be acted upon. The fact that more than a
week has passed since the canvass began fur
nishes ground for the hope that enough AS
semblymen are convinced of the impudent and
rapacious character of the measure to prevent
its enactment The taxpayers of this city, how
ever, will not breathe freely until Speaker
Husteds gavel has fallen for the last time.
New-York tribune., 1890-05-05

New-York has at last secured Ballot-Re-
form law, but the prospect of satisfactory legis-
lation on the subject by the New-Jersey Legis-
lature is rather dim. A measure known as the
Werts bill has been passed by the Democratic
Assembly, but it is not one that can be re-
garded by Ballot Reformers as meeting the de-
mands of the time. The Senate, being Repub-
lican hesitates to accept this bill, and so final
effort is to be made by the friends of the re-
form to secure the passage of bill similar to
that just enacted at Albany. The defects OF
this measure are plainly recognized, but even in

Striking Carpenters' Programme.
The New Newspaper Syndicate.

The one substantial fact back of the sensa-
tional story that was published in the
Chicago Herald and telegraphed over the
country the other day about a $4,000, 900
newspaper syndicate having been organized
in the interest of the Standard Oil Company
and Grover Cleveland's reelection is that
the moribund Chicago Globe, which was
started by the celebrated Storey staff of the
old Chicago Times, has passed into the hands
of Mike Mcdonald, the head of the gam
blers' combination and one of the great
moguls of Democratic city politics, John c.
King, leading light in the same party. and
few others OF like political sentiments, and
that Harry Wilkinson, formerly q well
known Pittsburg newspaper man, is to be its
managing editor. Mr.. Wilkinson took the
reins this week and is running the paper
with the energy, ability and close attention
to details that is characteristic of Pittsburg
newspaper men wherever you find them.
Wilkinson is known to be Melville E.
Stones Lieutenant, and his appointment to
this position lis enough to convince local
newspaper men that, however vehement his
denials, Stone has something to do with the
enterprise. Mr.. Wilkinson says it is a fact
that syndicate has been organized. but
beyond that maintains clam-like silence.
