THE END.

Now that the Guiteau trial is approach
ing the end and the assassin begins to be
aware OF the gallows staring him in the
face; more proper realization of the enor-
nifty of his crime has seized both him and the
amusement loving people who have been
attending his trial. The telegraph informs
US that there is no more of that applause
which formerly greeted his sallies of alt
tempted wit, and he himself is quieter in
view of his approaching doom. The end
is now near, and it puts an entirely differ
ent phase upon the matter.
While it was long ways off it was
easy for Guiteau to look upon it as an inn
possibility which would never appear and
to laugh at the attempt to bring him 10
justice, but it is now a different matter.
and laughter is not SO easily brought in er
jests so free, as when the gallows was
only a dim vision of the future, and retri-
button a thing which, perhaps might hap
pen, but was too far off to be now consid-
cred. Porter's speech, yesterday, was a
revelation.

THE SITUATION ar ALBANY.

In commenting on the deadlock in tht
New York Legislature, deadlock caused
by the refusal of John Kelly's men to &c
into the democratic caucus, the New York
World says:
The World certainly does not approve OF
political bargains in national, state or local
politics The chief mischief in them is
that they prevent the people from hold
ing either political party to full respon-
sibility for acts in which both parties have
concurred. The Arrears of Pensions bill
is melancholy and discreditable instance
in national politics of this truth, and the
partisan commissions which legislation
has imposed upon most of the cities in this
State are melancholy and discreditable in
stances of this truth in local politics. The
World wonld be very sorry to propose a
political bargain In State politics by which
either party should be absolved of its full
responsibility.
But the fact remains that the Legislature
of this state is at deadlock, and that the
deadlock must be opened before the public
business can be gone on with. The dead
lock is produced by the fact that neither Of
the political parties can organize either
house, since the balance of power in each
is held by third party, John Kelly in fact
and ''anti-monopoly" by title. So long as
the republican party, the democratic party
and Kelly hold out, no organization is pos
sible, and compromise of some kind is
absolutely essential. Either the democrats
or the republicans must buy Kelly at his
own exorbitant price or else they must
make some arrangement with each other
Kelly could not open the deadlock by send
ing his men into the democratic caucus, or
into the republican caucus, or into the
do one of these things than to do either of
the others. If. then, neither party will
make bargain with Kelly at his price,
they simply must oomc to terms with each
other or leave the deadlock kun opened
The Albany dour nal insists that there is
to be no Tammany Republican alliance.
The New York Tribune, on the other
hand, with that ostrich-1ike facility of
lmmersing one extremity in the sand and
the other to public shame which
its political procedures,
waves its tail-feathers in the direction of
a decker with Tammany and remarks,
with its mouth full of sand, that the Re
publican Legislators had better keep on
voting for Republican candidates ''for the
present. Which of these disagreeing doc
.ors represents the Republican party The |
World cannot undertake to decide, al |
tn ough, as the Journal clearly has the |
more sense, the chances seem to be in |
avor of the Tribune. At any rate the |
republicans do not yet avow any intention |
If dickering with Tammany, and if Mr. |
Kelly does not intend his henchmen to be |
ounted as Democrats, the republicans

In the summary of losses and gains in

volume, we find that exclusive, of course of
the cession to Germany Of Alasce and Lor-
raine and the payment OF war indemnity
amounting to Coco, 900, 000-'up to the
middle of February II, $50 French officers
and 81, oS1 soldiers had been taken pris-

these, : ,456 officers and 241 696 mcn had
surrendered and laid down their arms in

The W0rEd's suggestion that the organi-
cation of the Senate could be continued
without public injury was simply pointing
out that the Senate had an organization
not as the Journal misapprehends, that
the Senate had an organization that could
not be improved AS matter of fact the
World has never heard Of a more prepos-
ferrous old political rag-bag than Hoskins
at the head of a deliberative body. The
point is that Hoskins could do no public
mischief as the presiding officer of Sen
ate, the majority of which is against him.
He might even be intrusted with the ap-
pointment of committees, subject to the
vote of the Senate on his selections as a
whole. If he made such selections as the
taInmany men would vote for with the Re
publicans, and against the Democrats, the
Tammany Republican alliance would be
complete, and Tammany and the Republic
ans would have organized the Senate as they
have votes enough to do at any time. The
Assembly is on a different footing, because
it has no existing organization, and one
must somehow be arranged. If the demo
Gratis were allowed by the absence of few
to choose a Speaker who
should appoint the committees, the World
sees no reason why the patronage" of
the Assembly should not remain with the
If the republicans choose TO
alibuster and delay the public business for
The purpose Of retaining republican stokers
and orderlies in the New Capitol the
World can see no reason why they should
not remain in possession of those sweet
boons, after the democrats have forced the
demonstration that they are prepared to
retain them by such means.

They should, indeed, cut loose entirely

camp he should be driven out of democ-

Eien-oiian Funeral Rites

This morning the funeral rites over
the remains of the dead wife Of a we'll
TODD Chinese merchant were publicly
performed in that part Of Chinatown
adjacent to the intersection of Dupont
by Clay. The performance was con-
Quoted in the middle of Dupont street.
The body was encased ia a silver
mounted rosewood coffin Of the ordi-
nary pattern, over which was laid a pink
paper bearing strange Chinese charac
tors. At the foot of the coffin were
display of meats, vegetables and fruits.
These consisted of pyramids of turpips
and apples and five roasted pigs and
one goat, from which the hair had been
carefully scalded, and in the mouth of
which fragments Of lettuce had been in
serted. Over this strange funeral Offer
ing to the dead was spread canopy Of
white muslin. 4 priest, armed with
pair of cymbals. chanted doleful music,
in which he was joined by half dozen
choristers clad in white muslin robes.
In the roadway in front of the strange
display of meats, etc, were the hired
meurners, dressed in sackcloth and
PROSTATE on the ground, their faces
being in dangerous proximity to the
ends of row Of smouldering tapers.
Over their heads and at each corner of
the canopy were hung large lanterns in
which were burning candles. 1t is
seldom that SO much expense is gone to
IN the preparation of the funeral
rites Of the Chinese residents of this
city. The ceremony was long one,
and was viewed with a strange mixture
of idle curiosity and apparent selemnity
by the motely crowd of Mongolians and
Caucas:ans which had gathered around
the scene.-.& f. Bulletin
