short she Is not feeling well. What Is the matter
with her may be stated In o single sentence-she Is
afraid that the Legislature will and will not pass

wonder that the effect is to tear her up good DEAL
New-York, which has passed through all stages of
the same disease, knows how to and does sympathize
with her.
An exhibition Of crazy-quilts will shortly be held

The deadlock between the Houses at Washington
respecting the Greedy Relief bill has finally come to
an end. The Government now has authority to
make the necessary preparations for the expedition.
Happily the dilatory action of Congress has already
been anticipated two sealers having been purchased.

The present foggy and rainy weather must bring

Certainly it is awfully English.
THE TRIBUNE's Washington correspondent
telegraphs that Mr.. Morrison seems inclined to
take a beigerent attitude toward all Democrats
who show disposition to criticise or oppose the
new tariff bill. This is pushing the doctrine, love
me love my dog to extremes. to ludcrous
eItreme-especially when one reflects that the dog
in Its instance is but an indifferent mongrel.
Mr. Bradlaugh has gone back to his shoemakers
In Northampton to ask for a reelection. The con-
test there which will Immediately ensue will have
striking popularity. Both political parties
will be anxious to be beaten. The Conservatives
by defeating Mr. Bradlaugh will bring to close
political episode which has been useful to them in
the Commons, and tends to ALLEVIATE non-conformst
votes in Liberal borOughs. The longer that episode
be protracted. the greater will be their gain in
partisan sense. The Liberals, on the other hand
have been harassed by their enforced advocacy of
the political rights of whose views on
religious and social questions are profoundly dis
tasteful to them. They would be greatly relieved,
if he were to be defeated at the polls.
In a recent speech in Philadelphia Mr.. Randall
said For nineteen or twenty years have been in
Congress hoping, praying and wishing that might
see there Democratic President" The trouble
with this hoping and praying and wishing of Mr.
Randals has been that no faith went with those
exercises. He has been like the old lady who once
exclaimed :" prayed to have the hill opposite my
house set back a good bit. But it was not set
back-and knew 1t wouldn't be-"
Exports of provisions last week were not large.
The movement of pork products was much smaller
than that of the previous week, or Of the CORE
spending week last year viz 5,764706 lbs. bacon,
hams and lard, against S54l GIL lbs the previous
week and / 800 81 lbs. the corresponding week
last year. The export of pork in barrels was also
small and that Of packed beef altogether below the
previous week or the same week Of 1888. The
movement of butter, however, was fairly large,
that oftalow nearly double the corresponding week
last year. and the exports Of cheese were also large
The state of the markets is perhaps rendered more
peculiar by the fact that heavy exports to Europe
have been expected, ever since the troubles in
Egypt and the action of the French Academy of
Medicine, but have not yet appeared.
How true II is that lone touch Of nature makes
the whole world KIM" See how those Soudan dar-
kies who are marching with the Mahdi establish
their relationship with our Southern cOlored citi-
zens. The dispatch puts 1t graphically The
rebels advanced this evening to within mile and
a half of the town (Suakim). They then lighted
fires aud destroyed large melon plantation" No
doubt they did. Catch them passing the melons by.
And we may be sure that they enjoyed this episode
in the expedition very much more than the fight
ing and marching in the heat.
Lieutenant Governor Black of Pennsylvania is
quoted as saying In my opinion the destiny of the
Democratic party, not only in Pennsylvania but
may say in the United States, is just now in the
hands of the Democratic representatives in Con-
gress" You don't think it Is bad as that, Mr..
Blacki You really on second thought are not
prepared to be as rough as that on destinyf
