WILL there be an extra session? Good
reasons are given for calling one. The COM
ing Congress will differ from the present one
in being essentially business organization.
1t will esteem it its duty to transact the
needed legislation for the country, and not
scheme, as the present one, how not to do it.
Therefore it is desirable that it get to work
at the earliest practicable moment, effect its
organization, dispose of the contested seats,
admit the new States, make provision for a
continued liquidation of the National debt
pass long-promised pension legislation, do
other work which the present Congress has
failed and will continue to fail to do, and so
get the ground clear for its own real work
when the regular sessiOn begins next De-
cember.

EX-SENATOR STEWART urges that ths
South cut loose from the East politically
and join the West, with which he SAYS il
has more interests in common. The South
ern papers do not take kindly to the propo-
sition. They fear they cannot ind any
where west of the AIIeganies as steadfass
allies as they have in the territory within
10 miles of the City Hall Of New York.
These gave them the control of the country
in 1884, and tried hard to give it to them
again in 1888.

THREE years ago Secretary Bayard in
structed Minister Pendleton to inform the
German Government, in terms that ad-
mitted of no mistake, that she must keep
her hands off Samoa, and must also fulfill
her solemn assurances heretofore and re-
Gently givenn For all the effect it has had
Messrs. Bayard and Pendleton might as well
have saved their breath. Germany has gone
onin utter contempt of us. Wecould not have
been treated more disrespectfully had we
been some insignificant power like Morocco
or Guatemala. German intrigues have kept
Samoa in a ferment; civil wars have been
fought, with considerable loss of IN, our flag
has been repeatedly insulted and our citizens
maltreated. Still the Administration has
done nothing. Secretary Bayard spoke
brayely three years ago. Would that he
had acted as well as he spoke. VIII he fol-
low up his decisive words with decisive acts
before he leaves office? He has not much
time, it is true, but he has enough to yindi-
cate the Administration and himself by an
energetic course which will show Germany
that, if necessary, we will do more than talk

WE are beginning to change our mind
about the propriety of press censorship in
some countries. Dee. % the Mexican news
papers contained thrilling story that the
priests in the City of Mexico, angered at the
alleged unfavorable attitude and policy of
the Diaz Government toward the Church,
headed an instruction for the purpose of
overthTowing the Government, and won
over to their side $4,000 Government troops;
that President Diaz led the loyal troops
against the insurgents and, after a bloody
battle, completely routed them; that 237
priests were Immediately shot and that about
as many more had been condemned to death
Naturally people in this country were much
perturbed by this news, which BODIED all
sorts of fresh horrors forepoor old Mexico.
Replies to anxious kilograms from business
centers developed that Dec. % is in Mexico
"All-Innocents Day." which answers to
our April 1, and that the story was grand
hoax. But there are very many people who
will fail to see anything funny in reports of
bloody civil war, and the shooting of minis
tiers of the Gospel by the hundred.

Two things the country can rest assured
upon: 1. That Gen Harrison viii be Presi-
dent in fact as well as in name. 2 That
whoever he chooses to call in as his consti-
tutiOnal advisers, he viii have one Of the
very best Cabinets that the country ever
vas favored with. No President ever had
more good, able, patriotic, pure men to select
from, and We are confident that he is going
to make the best selection possible.

THRILLING STORIES.
Adventures by Land
and Sea.
BY uEUT EEsoa a. sayzELT, u. S. Ram.

We have secured from Lieut. Mason A. shu-
felt Of the United States Navy. a series Of
brilliantly-written stories Of most fascinating
character. flied with admirable descriptions Of
men aad places in various parts Of the gIobe.
These, besides being admirably written,
are absolutely true to life, as they
are the product Of Lieut.. Shufelt's own
experiences and observations during his
unusual career Of activity and exploration.
Lieut.. Sbufelt VIII be remembered as the of.
Ger who crowned his exploits by a trip across
the great island OF Madagascar being the first
white man who ever made the voyage. H:
account 81 that journey IS one Of the classic,
Of tzvel aud exploration.

Mr.. SPRINGER wants to call the State to
be erected out of Washington Territory,
"Laconica" We have not been favored yet
with the brilliant process of reasoning which
supports this proposition, to inaict so map
propriate name on what promises to be a
great State. The name is one of several
which were applied to the little Grecian
sub-peninsula of which Sparta was the chief
city. 1t was called by the Greeks and Ro-
mans, Lacedemon, Lakedaimon, Laeonia,
Laconica, or Lakonike. There is no geo.
graphical likeness or historical fitness to
justify the application of the name to the
country in Washington Territory. Any Of
the following names of rivers, places, etc.
in the Territory would be much more APP
propriate: Spokane, Okanagan, Yakima, Wal
la Walla, Klikitat, Skahamia, Snohomish
Tacoma, or Kalama. THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE's preference is for Yakima.

During the war we were kept pretty busy cruising between Erie and Chicago. We generally took on wood at Beaver Island. There were between two thousand and three thou sand Mormons living there then, with their leader, King Strang, besides the Gentiles who were mostly fishermen and wood choppers. The Mormons lived in comfortable houses of hewn logs, and worshiped In large temple built of the same material, which they also used for theatre and dance hall. There was platform across one end with scenery at the back, and . movable pulpit which was built on trucks.
