The governor has not yet called
the extra session of the legislature
but the proclamation is looked fol-
this week. The general impres
sion now is that the "extra" will
be set for about the middle of Ap
ril. The governor is considering
very carefully the questions to bt
presented to the solons in addition
to the revenue and new capitO
matters. 1t is not thought here
that the session will last more
than three weeks, and some pu,
the time at two weeks, but that j.
hardly sufficient.

The Cleveland Administration.
Tue chief features of the Cleve'
land administration have been the
Presidents desertion of the party
which elected him to office, a
large increase In the national
debt and interest charge, continual
deficits and inability to make the
revenue meet the disbursements,
several bond issues IN terms so of.
fensively against the public inter.
est that the Cleveland Carlisle's
policy of turning over the bonds to
a syndicate, composed mainly OF
foreigners, was finally abandoned
at the demands of the people, con.
tlnued raids on the gold reserve,
the greatest depression the coun-
try has ever known, a demoraliz.
ing reduction In the price of all
commodities, the farmers half starv.
ing, and many of the factories
closed.
Mr.. Cleveland's administration
is certainly not responsible for all
of these disasters, but in the popu'
lar estimation it is held answer.
able for many of them, and by
nearly all, for not having checked
them. The administration was a
personal one, the most personal we
have had since Grants day, and
the Democracy cannot be held re.
sponsible for any of Mr.. Cleveland's
mistakes. He qnarreled with it
and separated from it, and nearly
all the acts during the latter part
of his term were not only not lin line
with Democratic ideas or usages,
but anti Democratic In their aims
and purposes, and clearly against
the avowed policy of the party
The failure is Cleveland's not the
Democracy's.

Absenteeism In the chamber Of dep

Gus evil, and IL is hard TO say whether
the French system OF voting by proxy
does not rather increase it than mini
nnize IL, says the London News. The
members are in the Palais Bourbon, but
they are IN the lobbies. the library. the
committee rooms, the barrooms, drink
ing free glasses of peer. Before leaving
the chamber they tell colleague: III
anything happens, you may vote in my
stead" In writing for English papers
we may talk of the chamber OF depu-
ties dividing on a bill. This is but a con-
lvenient Interpretation of what takes
place. Deputies do not divide, but vote
Ia ordinary matters by a show Of
hands; and, when the result of this test
is challenged by ballot vote, each
member has in his desk jacks OF blue
and white cards bearing his name. The
latter color.means Aye" and blue mo"

his friends card in the box along with
his own. A member will sometimes
vote OF his own accord for colleague
whom he misses. Sometimes three or

person. Among the good stories OF
the chamber of deputies it is related
that ON. several occasions the number
ofqfotes recorded was greater than q
full house. Mistaken votes are daily

ions on bill being misunderstood by o

GRAND OPERA HOUSE OPENING.
The opening OF the Grand Opera
House last night with Charles II. Yale's
Devils Auction" was a brilliant inau-
guration for the season Of '97 and '9S.
From the rise to the fall of the curtain
the audience, which packed the house
to the doors, was held spell-bound with
the grandeur of the scenery, the rich
costumes of the participants and the
welrdness of the play. The auction is
old, in name, to theatre patrons, but
new In novelties The speciality fea-
lures of the play were particularly fine.
Miss Mayme Mayo a very clever SOU
brette, captured the hearts of the gal
lery gods with singing and dancing

shy milkmaid, was also clever. Harry
NJ. Brown, as Toby, was the life of the
show. w. II. Lorella, as Pere An
drOohe, did well. Miss Flora Leonard,
as Madeline, Androches daughter, and
Miss Mildred Holden. as Carlos, poor
shepherd in love with Madeline, made
an amorous pair of lovers. Count For
tuno, as portrayed by Miss Mabel Har-
rison, was cleverly acted. She, too, was

nut LIttIe Mood shcd.

No more striking illustration of the
relatively bloodless character of the
recent Turlso-Grecian war can be given
tbnn that afforded by the official re-
turns recently issued, according to
which the number Of prisoners taken
by me rival armies amounted to 200
men each. while in the Greek hospitals
there has throughout the campaign
not been single Greek soldier treated
for a saber, bayonet or lance wound,
the only injuries being those inflicted
by rife bullets or by the explosion OF
shells This is equivalent TO a demon
stration that there was no hand-to-
hand fighting, and that the troops never
really came to close quarters through
out the struggle.
