Captain Pike is reported by our special cor
respondent AT st. Johns as saying that the
Greedy expedition is starting a month too early.
This confirms the judgment, frequently ex-
pressed by The TRIBUNE, that the feet will be
exposed TO unnecessary perils from the ice
without having the remOtest chance of pushing
north across Melville Bay until the last fort
night in July. Although the fourth shi has
left st. Johns a heavy pack is reported as low
as the iftieth parallel. BY keeping well to the
eastward and avoiding the Labrador coast, the
fleet may be able to reach Davis Straits aud
penetrate without serious delay 10 Disco and
Upernayk. But oven if they are so fortunate
as TO run through the sea ice in safety, they
cannot be expected TO make any progress north

The action of the Democratic majority in the
House of Representatives yesterday in revers-
ing its decision of the previous day and giving
Mr. Peelle's seat to young English is one of
those colossal blunders at the beginning of an
important political campaign which the Dem
Ocratic party has long been in the habit of com
hitting. Young English has no more right to
the seat than his father has yet the persistent
lobbying of the latter has, by fair means or
foul. resulted ia placing his son in chair to
which he has no legal title and in which he can
gain neither honor nor respect. Ii may be a
great triumph for the Englishes, but it is likely
to prove n dear victory for the Democratic
party.

The practice of our courts certainly gives
lawyers license enough in the way of assaiing
each others characters while they are trying
cases II Is difficult then to find any excuse for
an exceedingly big attorney who carries the
controversies of the courtroom TO the point
of laying violent hands upon the person of an
extremely little brother of the bar. And when
there is any knocking out" TO be done, Madi-
son Square Garden is a more appropriate arena
than can be found i'll the precincts of our

for any pugilistic practitioners and to settle

A Hunting Episode.

Three of our best marksmen went
out for hunt recently. They got
forty chickens during the day, but
their interest was excited more on dis
covering a number Of geese about
half a mile away from them. They
crept and crawled toward the water
fowl and finally got within good
range when they banged away and
killed four. They gathered them
quickly but found that each one wore
q red ribbon around its neck and that
their wings were cut. About the same
time they heard woinan's voice say,
Don't shoot our tame geese!" And
tame geese they proved to be, having
been caught young and kept with their
wings clipped. Jim and Will and
Phil determined to make the best of 1t
and carried the birds home and yes
terday the owner of the birds appeared
In town and effected an amicable set

LONDON, April 26,-The budget which
has been presented to parliament is the
smallest ever recorded, and recommends a
decrease in taxation The Liberals received
it with enthusiasm, but the Tories call it a
campaign document One extraordinary
proposition was made, which occasioned
50 much surprise as to battle immediate par
iamentary comment. 1t was to degrade the
gold currency Of the realm by increasing
the alloy and decreasing the fineness to
something like the American standard. 1t is
understood the governors Of the bank of
England are the motive power behind this
scheme, and that their object is to secure a
grade of gold coinage that will enable England
to retain the position it has been gradually
losing of the attractive centre for the gold
currency Of the world. The government has
not given any full statement of its reasons
for proposing this startling step, which from
present indications will meet with organized
opposition from nearly all the commercial
interests Of Great Britain
