Mr, Randall is keepittf* '•cry qniet
at present. His plans, u be has any,
are not kDown even by tbe men who
are supposed to be bis followers. He
is very much diegrnntled because ol
the defection of the Lonisiana men,
upon whose assistance he was most
confidently relying, and it looks as
if he no longer confides in anybody-
He has never before been in such
straits, and his methods re being
watched with interest.
The Republicans are rushing to
the Speaker's room and enrolling
themselves for recognition during
tbe tariff debate. So many of them,
indeed, are making application that
tbe suspicion arises that a part of
their programme of delay is to con
sume time in speechmaking. The
Speaker, as a rule, is a roost indul
gent ruan, hut he will probably
checkmate so palpable^an effort on
the part of the Republicans to post
pone action by the House on the
Mills bill until after the Si. Louis
Convention. The average tariff
speech is about two hours in length,
and over hundred members have sig
nified their desire to speak. The av
erage legislative day, after the morn
ing business has been transacted, is
only about three hours long.- It can
easily be seen, therefore, that unless
night sessions are ordered and the
legislative day lengthened it will be
June before genera! debate is eoncluJ

The year 1888 seem* to have some
thing i it to disturb the normal bal i
anee in weather and atmospheric
economy. Its record so far is proba
bly bejonod all modern parallels, as j
New York is at any time prepared to
qualify with the utmost confidence [ :
It has been the severest winter in Eu |
rope in tbe memory of thc present
generation. In East Prussia there |
was a recent fall of snow of fifteen
to eighteen and twenty feet (not i
inchest and the inhabitants are intici |
pating far greater calamities from tbe
thaw than tbe fail of this nnparallel ,
ed and wide-standing avaianche. Toe .
i
Vistula and Nogot rivers in Germany
have inundated 400 square miles of
rich alluvial lands, and there is not
tbe slenderest possibility of the 30-
000 inhabitants driven from their
homes and their lands doing any
thing in tbe present year in the way
of cultivation The Oder and Wartb
have o»erlowed sevacty-two villages
and five town?, iu Domitoz. iu Aleck
enbnrg. and Louz.ro. in Prussia,
there axe also *0.000 to 80.000, peo
pie temporarily dispossessed by ex¬
traordinary freshets- The people of
the North European continent in the
last quarter of 1887 were perhaps
felicitating themselves V their
exemption from such freaks of tbe el
ersects as submerged thousands
of square miles m China list fill,
just as New York wondered . t'.e

It is rumored—not, however, on
authority that is either credible 1
definite—that a vacancy in the [
household of and Queen that the Victoria j
about to occur, post,
held by has a been ‘‘well promised known peer J

The post in question j

of tbe household. It, indeed, |
precedence of the places held !

comes after the clerk of tbe

having beeu^found not always

been withheld."
Reference is, of course, made to
noble office of Poet Laureate,
occupied by tbe poet Tennyson
now held by Lord Tennyson.
irresponsible rumor lias it that
his Lordship will resigu and that the
Queen intends appointing as his sue
Sir Edwin Arnold, formerly
of tbe Daily Telegraph, Asia,'' and ai j
author of “The Light of
the Prince of Wales is said to !
Mr. Lewis Morris.
The News attaches no importance
this gossip. We have not the j
idea that Tennyson concern
resigning. He is not built
way. A man who considers a
greater than poetry would
resign anything. And we do
blame him, although he should
as vigorously as his old age
against tbe withdrawal of his
o; wine.
However, we should like to sug
to Her Majesty a point for her
when the place does
vacant. That is, that she do
appoint either Arnold or Morris,
any otiier of these fellows to the
but declare our own accomplish
poet the Poet Laureate. The
who is hired to write verses for
the top of tbe city note column in
the News can give Tennyson fifty
points in a hundred and then leave
him windblown in the rear. It is
not neeessa-y to elaborate upon the
genius, the originality, the versatile
ty— the combination of piety and
worldly wisdom, with a touch of the
old Adam, all goiug together to make
up humanity in its most solemn and
tenderest moments, as well as its
moods oi’jocose hilarity—which com
pose the sentimental side of the
News poet. When ministers of the
gospel get up in the early dawning
anJ #it arouod barefooted waiting
{or thc , aggard boy to bring some
new and unexpected verselet: when
sober, practical cotton factors down
tbe ccuntrv can not transact a sue
cessful day’s business without first
soothing their brain with the previ

from the remote but cultured circles
of Mishawaka. Indiana, renew their

symphony when all these tokens of
appreciation ore "iven, it shonkl i i » not
be recessary to add anything forth

By all rocacs. uirtke the News man
the Poet Laureate and give him &
hundred pounds a year. That, with
the ft-vy pence he gets in this office,
may enable him to pay for his beer if
