THE DUBLTN CONFERENCE.

Mr. Parnelrs speech at the Dublin con-
ference dscloses q safe and moderate pro-
gramme, which will excite very little enthu-
siasm at home or in America. Home rule,
peasant prOpretOrship through purchase,
Parliamentary agitation by a united Irish
delegation, were the old catchwords repeated
anew. He had no new ideas to advance. He
could only whistle the old tunes, although he
must have known that the mass OF his followers
would keep step to them, if at all, mechan-
ically and with reluctance Adroit as was his
manner of conducting the proceedings, he
could not conceal the fact that there were
serious divisions in the party, and that while
he himself had ordered halt holder and more
aggressive leaders were sulking in their tents.
While Mr.. Davitt disclaimed any intention of
opposing Mr. Parnelrs policy, his contempt
for milk and water" principles was apparent,
and he was openly accused of deliberately
plotting against his leader. 1t was evident
that there were discussions In the party, and
that the master organizer of the original Land
League was not in sympathy with the Parlla-
mentary group and its conclllatOry programme.
Mr.. Dillon's absence and the anxiety OF MIR.
Eean TO be relieved from his duties and
privileges as treasurer were additional proofs
that Mr.. Parnells leadership was no longer
acceptable to the radical section. His ascend
ancy is still maintained in the party councils
he is supported by all his Parliamentary
associates except Mr.. Dillon but his influence
and popularity in the island have been seli
ously impaired
There is very little evidence that the new
Irish National League is intended to be
working organization. There will be central
council in Dublin and branches will be organ
lied throughout the counties, but the
machinery Is evidently meant for purposes of
display rather than for actual use. The League
enIbOdies no new principles and affords only
narrow basis for permanent organization.
When Mr.. PaTnell advocates a fair amendment
of the Healy clause and ciphers out an average
reduction of 20 per cent in the judicial de-
crees of the Land Commission, he does not
give an impulse to a new National movement.
He merely justifes Lord Randolph Churchilfs
sarcasm that the only difference between Mr..
Gladstone and MIR. Parnell was n matter of 30
per cent. The island is already settling into
n state of tranquility the seasons crops have
been good the people are in a mood for
estimating Alright their gains from Liberal
legislation it is an inopportune moment for
renewing agitation. Mr.. Parnel knows this,
and deems it more prudent to negotiate at
Westminster for an additional reduction of
rents than to make Mr.. Davitt's scheme of
land naturalization the basis of widespread
agitation in Ireland. 1t may be more prudent;
but while lie is trafficlling for the 20 per cent
and resumng the old tactics of obstruction in
the Commons there may be an inter collapse
of the land movement The general who
orders a halt when his respondent followers
are already tagging behind may unwittingIy
give the signal for disarmament.

And when that meeting was held were you
present, approving and applauding speeches
in which Abram S. Hewitt, Rufus w. Peckham,

proclaimed that there could be neither honor

State and Pennsylvania, who have been re-
nominated this year, deserve to be judged by
their own record, and Of most OF them IL
may be Justly said that they faithfully obeyed
the will and in the main served the true In
terests, Of their constituents. 1t Is not fair to
forget that the Republican majority In Con-
gress, with all its shortcomings did many most
worthy and credtable things 1t saved the
county from great mischief which Democratic
votes, IL sufficient in number, would have done.
1t deserves especial credit because it adjusted
apprupriations to the actual needs of the pub
lie service, instead of refusing money for
partisan reasons, rs Democrats had, to branches
of the public service provided by law
In other important and worthy acts, MEM
bers from this State and Pennsylvania
had part, which should not now be for
gotten. Before voters from these States
decide to throw tho power into the hands OF
Democratic majority, they will remember
how that party behaved in the last and in
previous sessions. Republican misconduct
Republicans can cure by nominating better
men. But the Infamous misconduct of DEM
ocratic majority they can only prevent by not
electnp such q majority.

racket the crckets make No help for it, the
house must be cleaned, and IL the so-called
| master Of the house will not help to do the
cleaning, move the furniture, shake the carpets,
and witness the destruction of the pet crickets
whose music he likes so well, he HAY as
well take himself of until the storm has passed.
For there will be no dinner in New-York for
those who do not help to clean house.
The Republican housckeeper does not need
much advice. 1t Is very rarely anything Is
destroyed that Is really worth saving. Any
quantity of humbugs, cheats and frauds " i'll
have to vanish there is no help for it. The
only advice many will give is to make the
job thorough, so that il will not have to be done
again in 1884. Inasmuch as Cameronism is
going down, put it down so far that it
will never come up again. Since COnklingism
still fancies that trading boss can own New
York, let the vote be sufficient, they say, to
convince even Mr.. Conkling that the forbidden
and abhOrrent forces are those which he and
his friends have used. Inasmuch as President
Arthur imagines that lie can dictate to this
State better from Washington than he could
when soiling the robes of a Vice President in
the mire of Albany, the answer must be dis
tiDct enough to reach even to his ears. Really,
think many voters, there is nothing else to
be done. Dinner is out of the question. The
only doubt now is whether the house shall be
so cleaned as to stay clean a while.
But 1t is a poor housewife that goes about
destroying everything Unfortunately. If the
Republican voters are fit for their work, they
will make a sharp distinction between those
candidates that have been put upon them by
Ea1a Ill,
forces. and those that fairly represent the free
choice of good Republicans They will at least
take care not to defeat useful and worthy candi-
dates for Congress, thus giving to Democrats the
power that they have repeatedly abused so
shamefully. The cleaning may go on to the very
end without breaking any useful furniture or
worthy ornaments if the voters are as wise as
they are resOlute

CLEANING HOUSE.

Once a year the good housewife turns her
world upside down. The darkened male mind
| cannot see the use of the distressing perform
ance but she does and that ends it, With or
without stalwart assent the house cleaning takes
place. The house is full of trouble and dust.
Nobody knows where he lives, and the victuals
are apt to be irregular and scanty But the
work is merciless. All sorts of closets and holes
are poked into, and turned inside cut. Piles of
filth are dragged forth that have been swept in
dark corners and under low furniture by bad ser
wants Hosts of vermin are destroyed and it
is bad time for the cOckroach. Holes are
filled with poison for the cricket, who gets his
living by doing nothing but mischief and max
ing loud noise. Then there comes a great
calm. Sweet peace reigns again the merciless
and terrible housewife resumes her part as the
gentle and yielding helpmeet, and Uncle Sam
smiles once more as he finds himself the head
of the family again and sits down to good
dinner.
Political housekeeping does not come once
year. Under Republican rule it is not Deces-
sary. But even under Republican rule, there
are some bad servants, and some filth gets hid
den in corners and holes and closets get
crammed with the rubbish Of used-up
reputations and broken resolutions, and
the house gets infested with vermin. In
time, even under Republican rule, the loud
noise of the political cricket tells ia
that the creature is there, and devouring things
according to his nature. Then there has to
be IL housekeeping. The average Republican
voter, who il the real head of the household,
though content to be submissive helpmeet on
ordinary occasions, proceeds to take command
The professional politician, who has fanced
himself master of the establishment, finds no
resting place, and has to dine out or get along
with cold victuals. For the edict has gone forth
come what may, the filth and the vermin and
the noisy crckets shall be abolished and the
house shall be fit to live in there Happy The
can efiace himself until peace returrs
This year the Republican housekeeper has
arisen early, put on big apron, and seized the
broom and the dust-pan. The signs were plain
enough, but the Administration mind is
slow to move. Consequently there is some dis
gust at the cold victuals in Ohio. But it would
be just as well to recognize the fact that the De-
Rod of housekeeping is not over. There will be
cold victuals in Pennsylvania also, and no Adj
ministration stamping and raving will mend the
matter. The Cameron closet has not been
cleaned thoroughly for many years, and no de-
cent body can put up with the filth any longer
Also, there are verInin in New York; think
of those city primaries and that State Com
mittee business. and hear what boastful

Last year. though the export me vement had

Last year, though the export cvement had
hardly been arrested, and the foreign demand
continued strong because of the general
scarcity, the shipments were small in quantity,
while comparatively high prices were realized.
But the consequences came little later when
the exports almost wholly ceased and the
balance of trade turned so strongly against this
country that in February we began to export
the $36 100000 of gold that has been sent
abroad in excess of all imports since February l.
This year we have started differently. Ex-
port prices of wheat are already reasonable,
but foreign buyers look for lower still, because
they have heard the eXtravagant statements
made here as to the yield. The price of corn is
still very high, but must quickly change if the
report of the Agricultural Bureau as to the
yield proves correct

time that an extra session would be necessary
in order that an inquest might be held on that
dreadful Assembly ceiling. And every time

remarked that an extra session of the deadlock

GRAIN EXPORTS.

The exports of breadstulfs in September
from all the important ports, as officially re-
ported by the Bureau of Statistics, actually
exceeded in quantity the exports in September
of last year. Yet there was a decrease of
$4,55S, 634 in value, because the shipments of
wheat this year have been at much lower
price. It will be remembered that the specu-
latiye fraternity, as soon as the partial failure
of crops became known last year, proceeded to
put prices up so high that exports were sud-
denly checked and Europe began to buy from
India and Russia instead of the United States.
This suicidal "boom" reached its worst in
October, and ended in collapse of prices
when it was too late to remcdy.the injury to
our foreign trade. The September prices,
though not quite rs high as those that speedily
followed, were quite high enough, as the fol-
lowing shows. The quantities of different
articles exported in September of each year
are given, with the average export price for the
month, and in the footings flour is included
as wheat ut zig bushels to the barrel, and meal
as corn at 4 bushels to the barrel:
