A PROPOSED EXTRA LEGISLA-
TIVE SESSION.

scheme is on foot to petition the Gov
ernor to cali an extra session Of the
Legislature. to appropriate some 5000
in aid ofthe Midwinter Fair The REC
friendliness to the proposed fair, and its
belief that it can be made means of great
good to the whole State, while it will be
of immediate benefit to the metropolis as
well. We are in a position, therefore, to
criticise the extra session proposition
with perfect impartiality.
Wedo not believe that there is any neces-
sity for the call. 1t looks very much as ifit
had its origin in Democratic ambition. If
an extra session is called, the body be-
ing Democratic, it will proceed to elect
United States Senator, ousting Senator
Perkins, who will to-day be sworn in.
The Legislature would have right to do
this, and it is no mere fancy that it would
do so, but certainty. Precisely, that thing
was done by the Republicans in the case
of the late Senator Hearst, Senator Miller
dying March 8, 1886, Governor Stoneman
appointed George Hearst to serve out the
unexpired term. But an extra session of
the Legislature being convened July 20,
1886, Mr.. A. P. Williams was elected, and
Mr.. Hearst ousted. The succeeding Leg
islature of 1887 elected Mr.. Hearst. The
Democracy has thus an excellent prece-
dent with which to confront the Republi-
cans and for ousting Senator Perkins be-
fore he fairly warns his seat.
But such action would not be justi-
fable. By all the equities Senator Per-
kins is entitled to hold, and his tenure of
Office must not be imperiled by the call
ing of an extra session of the Legislature.
1t is said that pledges could be secured
not TO elect Senator, but of this we have
grave doubts: and we do not believe that
even if given they would be kept. for the
politician of the legislative stripe can
easily trump up situations that will ap-
parently release all pledges. 1t has been
done before and can be again.
But there are still other reasons why
the call for an extra session should
not issue, to say nothing of the
cost to the people. Extra ses-
sions are always dangerous sessions.
They mean always great deal more than
the promoters intend. The Midwinter
Fair ought to be held but it should be
pushed to success without legislative ac-
tion. Let those who advise the extra
session ask themselves if the people wish
the treasury tapped for $500, 900 for this
purpose? Also, where the money is to
come from, since the State has it not in
hand. Finally, whether it is wise to do
by law, which is compulsion, that which
the people in these premises may fail to
do voluntarily. The money to make
the path of the Midwinter Fair smooth,
can be, and ought 10 be raised without re-
sorting to such a measure as the call of
the Legislature from the sleep that the
Constitution and the laws wisely impose
upon it.

THE situation in Germany now is just
this, that the Emperor is driven to the
necessity of making deals with all the
other parties but his own. AS a matter of
fact he has not, alone and unaided, suf-
ficient legislative strength to maintain the
side of the Government in the councils of
the empire for day. The official count
of the late elections show that the Social
Democrats lead by nearly plurality,
their gain being some 300, 900; the Center
party lost 10000 the Conservatives gained
$4,000 and upwards; the National Liberals
lost 100000. and tie Anti-Semitic vote ad-
vanced 100000. The fact that the German
public is so divided into small political
factions is, in any light in which viewed.
bad for the cause of Imperialism.

Mr.. CHARLES B. MILLER, editor of the
New York Times. comes to the defense of
his profession, and protests against the
wholesale adverse criticism of newspap-
ers. In the Forum he gives the self-ap-
pointed critics, who belabor the news
paper press, warming that has long
been needed. The truth is. as he we'll
says, that the people who are so ready to
exclaim against newspapers set up stand
ards that are either wrong or unreason-
able, and newspaper managed to please
them would be a CHASTITY failure. Of
course, as the press is human institu-
ton, it has its faults: it has been prosti-
tuted to base ends, as have other human
agencies; it is often made weapon where
II ought to be a shield. Nevertheless,
taking the world as it is, which is the
way newspapers have to take it, Mr.. Mil
ler declares that "the publication of a
newspaper devoted entirely to exalted
themes is commercially impossible,

Samoa, has been decently whipped for
his unwarranted rebellion, and is now
prisoner and his forces are scattered and

sums before he died. A month before

part of the story is the part played in it
by the mad mans sister, Sarah Curtis.
She is over so years old and came from

wormed part of the secret from the sick
man and followed up the clew AT

and is now missing. Thorough search
of the premises failed to reveal any

leave for Westminster by train today.
