1Ir. Randall Believes that the
Northern Democrats Will Or
ganiZH fhe House. s


Washington special to the New York Tribune. Il.
Speaker Randall and his friRnds
appear sangnine that the delay in
the settlement of the Louisiana and
South Carolina difficulties has solldi-
fed their party. and already saved il
fro.o the danger Of going 10 pieces
at he extra session on the question
OF the organization of the House.
This Is jumping to conclusion in a
very iiasty manner. There is tine
yet for a good many ups and downs
in the prospects Of the Democrats
before the session begins The
Northern Democrats hope that the
Southern question will be kept open,
and they will do al they can to pre-
vent the Southern wing Of their party
from feeling satisfied with the con-
duct Of the Administrator. They
are likely, however. to be disappoin-
ted. 1t is evidently tire fixed pur-
pose OF the President to get rid of
the dual governments, before Con-
gress meets, in way which must
meet the approval of moderate men
OF both parties. Although the pros
poets at the present moment may
look favorable for the schemes of the
Democratic portisans who hope to
effect an organization Of the House
in the interest Of the ''straight-out"
element and in hostility to the Adj
ministration, few weeks, or even a
few days, may make an entire change
in the situation.

You see him OF the street while
he ramJles from point TO point, and
YOU regard him as one without mon
ey or brains. He reads the signs
and peers in at every shop window
with the uhsCphistIcatedness of n
verdant youth, but beneath his
greenness is an Importance that
smacks of dignity. He may look
like some belated stragger from a
flock of sheep, but upon his broad,
generous shoulders has leaped many
an obscure individual into the halls
Of legislation and Congress. It was
his ink-soiled fingers that placed in
solemn lines the type that recounted
his virtues and sent forth to the
world his fitness and qualifications
Of office within the gift of the peo-
pie, and yet the poor medium, by
which his ambition found strength
and his aspirations success, receives
only thanks and oft times not that
much reward
We love to shake the hand Of a
country editor. We find in him the
| true working man of the land. lie

| have mentioned, as i'm fact has
everybody else, how in Mussulman

the right hand is dipped into the dish
the peechaky, or left hand, being
considered an inferior member, and
condemned TO do all the hard and
dirty work. The right band, being
thus preserved exclusively as a
clean hand, is evidently the proper
one TO dip in the dish. When feed
ing. the polite native holds his left
left hand behind him. In saluting
native soldiers never salute with the
left hand in fact, if one does, you
are perfectly justified by the law of
the land in resentiDg the gross and
premeditated insult by knocking his
head off. And, IN the same way,
Europeans never return q native sa-
lutte with the left hand. 1t woul be
most offensive. Off1cera from Euro
pean service, accustomed TO salutes
with both hands, are warned on ar
rival, and have to be very careful to
avoid trouble.

Rajahs, Maharajahs and other tre-
meudous native swells, including
Sir Salar Jung. from Hyderabad.
Now, my brother was a good look
ing young fellow and took the Ra-
jah's eye, who staggering slowly up
to him in the ponderous swing of his
fat legs, cons dered so dignified and
graceful by native swells, performed
what is the highest compliment
