GREEDY AND GORDON.

There are many points of similarity
between the foolish expeditions to the
Arctic and the present efforts of Eng
land to conquer the Soudan. Both
fields Of adventure are beyond the out
posts Of civilization, and both present
fearful natural obstacles in their eli
mates and solitudes to the European or
American. What population there is in
either sphere is of wandering, vag-
rant, non-productive character, and the
conquest of either the Arctic or the tor
rid zone in Africa could not result i'm
allording much of field for immigra-
ton or the cultivation of the arts of civ
ilized life.
What advantages, if any, are offered
by the Soudan or sandy wastes of Africa
over the northern ice fields, arc moro
than offset by the presence in
the former of hordes of savagos and
fanatics belonging to race that it has
always been, and will probably always
be, impossible to civilize. They are the
men whose hands are against every
man, and who have been Migrants and
man-haters since lsHMAEL grew up in
the desert,
England's present relief expedition
looks very much like another GREEDY
relief trip, the expenditure of great
sums of money, the risk of brave lives
and the chances against the accomplish
ment of the aim of the enterprise, simply
to bring back to civilization few adj
venturers, who ought never to have
taken such risks upon themselves from
the first.

serted to cruel fate, it is true,
but Il Government that will

"EuSlON.n

The chief element of the practical in
BuTLER's political philosophy is begin
ming t9 assert itself most vigorously as
a leaven in the politics of several States.
The eminent Lowell Statesman's shib-
boleth is ''fuse," commodity yielding
often large returns when judiciously
used commercially in a political cam
paign.
There are many things about this ar
ticle known as "fuse," that commend it
to the practical politician. No ugly and
inconvenient questions of principle or
morality surround it, or stand in the
way of its successful operation. 1t
bothers no consciences and is good as
kind Of political circulating medium in
any community. Where Republican
ism for instance has things in the hol-
low of its hand, Democrats can use
"iuse" to get up pretty respectable OPP
position with Greenbackers and anti
Monopolists. Where Democracy rules
the roost, Greenbackers with goodly
article Of "fusion" can ally themselves
with Republicans, and so on ad libitum
and ad nauseam.
Only two conditions in any given COM
munity are required to put into play
this Buterian shibboleth, viz: A strong
majority, opposed by two or three other
organizations. BUTLER goes the full
length on ii and from his high stand
point OF political morality urges his fol-
lowers to trade, swap, dicker, "fuse"
with any party or all parties, in season
and out of season.
Michigan and Kansas have fallen
into line, and illusion" is taking
there enthusiastically. 1t is kind
Of Il political patent medicine,
to cure all ailments and prescribed by u
quack, but sensible men gulp it down.
There are some evils that the patent
medicines will cure, and in desperate
cases any well advertised panacea that
comes in the way, stands u fair chance
of being used until it kills or cures, and
we suppose this is about the status of
affairs in Republican hide-bound Kan
sas, and the former home of ZACH
CHANDLER.
We need not be surprised if the article
is extensively used in other commune
ties. The fact that quack recommends
it is no obstacle to its free use. Its nexi-
bility and the magnificent hopes il
raises and promises of success it gives,
render it a very popular remedy.
VIII it be resorted to in Texas? There
are some desperately situated citizens,
politically, down here just at present
and any remedy promising relief from a
big stock of political bile would be
eagerly seized and taken. A goodly
supply of "fuse" would brace them III
) as CLEANS of sunlight through the grated
windows of dungeon upon the poo
sick inmate. How much would ii TAX,
= to wreathe the countenances of WAsT
JONES and his Republican allies il
smiles?
The only trouble in the way, we fear
{ is that it would be impossible under the
present demands for the article in Othel
sections to obtain sufficient supply L
relieve, even in the least particular, the
desperate case presented by the disaf
fected elements In this State.

cagO Driving Park.
Base Ball.
THE GAME YESTERDAY,

Those who were fortunate enough to
visit the race course yesterday afternoon
were treated to the greatest game of ball
witnessed in this city for long time
passed. Dallas and Houston met on
the diamond in their league series, and
it was grand struggle to the very finish.
Up to the seventh inning but one run
was made on either side, and but one or
two base hits even. Excitement ran
high, and did not in the least abate
when in the seventh inning the Hous-
ton boys got in another score. In the
eighth, the visitors went out without a
run and permitted the Browns to pile
up four runs, Then the crowd could
not contain itself, and yelled as if mad.
With but one inning remaining and
Dallas two ahead, it looked impossible
tor the Nationals to win, but just Mt the
last, one OF those costly, miserable errors
that the Browns stick in always at the
wrong time, enabled the Houston bows
TO get IN three more runs, ending the
game and score by to 1. The left
