i nerhars reasonable to Look for some increase
in these miscellaneous items this year. With
other exports no larger than year ago, the
apgrccate FIR the month would be not FAR from
S6i,5O0,OOO
In the imports for May considerable in
crease occurred at Ncw-York, no less than
S5oO5.OI5 in value, which the returns show
was largely during the early put OF the month.
Some increase may also have occurred at other
ports. though the outside movement does not
always vary in harmony with the movement
at this city. If there was no change in imports
TIM, far. the total for the month was about
S73.9OO,OOO, and the excess OF imports over
exports for the month was about S9,400,00O,.
but the official figures may vary somewhat
either way frcm this estimate, while the prob
ability is that tho excess OF imports was some
what larger.
I, will BE- observed with satisfaction that the
excess Of merchandise imports was by 10 means
50 large rs in the earlier months OF the year.
This is rather contrary t. the usual custom, for
May ordinarily shows about Is large al excess
Of imports as any month in the fist half of
the year. But it is perhaps in part due to The
fac: that imports have been lbno1nally large
sor Seyc,a months. s. thai there was not q
core .pondns increase in May. Taking the
figures Us they come, one can only infor from
thcm that the 0uigo Of god in May had adc-
quato reason, since something like S10,000OOO
each month must be added to tho excess u
imports ~ an allowance for undcryauatlons of
imp ITS. interest due abroad, AMI freight money
paid to foreign carriers.
These were the circumstances when the month
Of Jurc began. Probably there remained some
balance on merchandise account, rot settled by
previous specie exports, and there was also
SINE ii>p3,i,i shown on the part Of foreign
holders TO sell American securities. This state
Of facts accounts sufficiently fT such outGo
Of god and pressure in TIC market rs the month
of Juno has disclosed. Conc rning the future
il may be said that June and July usually show
some excess OF imports. and that even in the
most favorable vars the exports rarely begin

SECRETARY CaRLISIF'S FIXTURE.

Up to date Secretary Carlislcs bost friends
must admit that he has not been what the
atricai people call "a bowling success" Ills
carly confused and contradictory outgivings on
silver payments and bond issues, though Nc.
official, had powerful effect in weakening
public confidence and increasing the strain
which began to be felt as soon as the Admins
tration entered upon power. The effort Of
President Cleveland - restore confidence by
disclaiming the ut;eranceS Of his Secretary Of
the Treasury as representing the views Of the
Administration were well intended no doubt,
but the mischief had been done and was be-
yond healing. The public had become in
press, with the belief that the Secretary was
nor the clear headed iinarcier and profound
statesman he had been represented to be- but
that he was without fixed convictions, that he
lacked Stamina, was vacillating and uncertain.
That he had actually expressed the views at
trbutcd TO him is beyond question: though the
fact that his uterances wore not formal or
official furnished the prctext for a denial by
some of the newspapers of his party. Had the
reports been unfJunded some way would have
been discovered - make patent their falsty
and rcas,lirc the business community. Conf
denco has not been restored, and business has
not recovered from the shock because the peo-
pie have lost faith in the stcadincss Of the
Secretary and his ability to administer the
finances Of the country in trying time. It
has been s/ere disappointment; for the
people had grKt confidence in Mr.. Carlisle. and
his appointm TO the Treasury was COM
mcndcd by both parties.
The appointment Of his son Logan Carlisle
as chief clerk, and the rather loud and ag-
grcss,ye manner in which that person bulged
into prominence by dscharging old and trusted
officers and employees, gave great dissatisfac-
ton to the Mugwump Contingent which made
specially of Civil Service Reform but that

THE VEATHER BCREAC INVES TIGAT1ON.

Professor Iarringtons administration Of the
United States Weather Bureau has recently been
the subject of investigation and report at the
hands Of official appointed to find pre-
text, if possible. for bouncing the one Repub-
lican in n Federal Office 80 utterly bipartisan
that decent Democrats were ashamed to touch 1t.
1t was task Of peculiar difficulty. In view OF
tho fact that Mr. Colby was in the same fix as
the children OF Israel, who were compelled to
ma;c bricks without straw. it ought to be said
that he has acquitted himself we'll Perhaps his
recent experience in being under investigation
himself by Senate committee enhanced his fis-
mess for the undertaking.
Nevertheless, there are two three little
circumstances which might have been added TO
the Assistant Attorney-.iencrals story, in order
to give artistic finish thereto. We do not re-
fer OF course to the instructions he received, after
making his preliminary indictment, to take it back
and stifrcn the thing up; to the special
personal considerations urged for making PROBES
sor Harringtons removal acceptable at the White
House These are of such private character
that it would have been in exceedingly bad taste
70 mention them But Mr.. Colby knows how
Mr. Cleveland dotcs on Civil Service Reform. and
might therefore, have told without improperly
about Secretary MOrton's inquiry as to the pos
siIllity Of reducing the number OF high o'iicla's
in the Bureau in the interest OF economy ABOUT
Professor IIarrington's recommendation that the
postion Of Executive officer be abolished. ard
ohout the recent ncumbcnt's resignation although
he was q man Of character and experience. Then
Mr. Morton's appointment OF new mon-ohe
who knew nothing of nctoorOlOgy and never naa
exercised cXecntvc functions Of any sort-inst"ad
of saving tho country that salary, could have Dccn
introduced as an effective finale. Surely, the
President would have been interested III those
facts.
Moreover. report such as Mr.. Colby recently
presented is read by the people occasionally;
and good many of them would Fave Deeh

himself took the initiative in having the al
Legged peculations in his Bureau investigated IN
