Mr. Cleveland and an Extra Session.
The Washington Post of yesterday men,
tions an inverted report that MIR. CLEvE-
LAND is in favor OF an extra session OF Con-
rress 10 be held either in the spring or
fall"
We have opposed spring session OF
Congress, and have said that it would be
much better to hold fall session. But we
doubt thst Mr.. CLEVELAND has said to any
body that he is in favor of either spring
session or a fall sesslon-that is. extra ses-
sion. He IS not given 10 gossiping about
public matters nor 20 forecasting the iu-
ture of the measures proposed IN Wssh-
ington by first one and thon another OF the
members of Congress who cannot nope 10
distinguish themselves otherwise.
Possibly Mr.. WHITNEY knows the views
of the President-elect in regard TO an
extra session, but 1t Is not at all sure tnat
even Mr.. WHITNEY has Intercepted MN
On this subject.
Guess after guess has been made during
the last month or SIX weeks, but eA-
pressiye silence" is what Mr.. CLEVELAND
contributes 10 such discussions.

Ma,tera of Authorship.

In the Library OF American Literature,
Volume H., the authors EDMUND CLAR-
rNcr srrpNaN and ELLEN MAcKAY HuTca-
rsos) have foot-note correcting pre-
vious publication ascribing to Mr.. ULEvE-
LAND the authorship Of the sentence, A
public Office is pablo trust"
They state that they believe that Judge
CooIEY was the first TO make use OF that ex-
preston, ana they quote those very words
from an article by Judge COOLEY which
was published in the hme-icon Lar Reu'e'o
in 1877. The next year Judge COOLEY In
The Law of Torts used the expression,
"Offices are public trusts" &c.
In Volume VIII. OF this library the anthor-
ship of Stonewall Jackson's way
is ascribed TO JoHx WILLIAMSON PALMER
who was born in Baltimore in 1925.
In the same volume the authorship oil
IAN Quiet Along the Potomac Tonight
is ascribed to ETHEL LINN BEERS, who was
born in Goshen, n. y, in 1927. 1t IS stated
that the poem first appeared in Hd'p@''
Weekly in 1861.
