Some Clever Bon Mots.

Of the bon mots of the Greeks not
many very brilliant ones have come
down to us, says the Saturday Even
ing Post. A happy saying of Socrates
is reported regarding sculpture and
education: Il wonder that men should
give so much to turn stone into
man, and SO little to prevent man
turning into stone" What could be
more pertinent or pithy than the re-
joinder of Lysander to citizen of
Megara, who, at a common council of
Greek states, was talking big and
laying down policy with an authori-
tative air: Your words want a city"
The cynical philosopher, Dioge
nes, gave utterance to some rasping
sarcasms. Seeing a number of per
sons firing at mark. he placed him
self directly before it, saying that it
was the safest place. Going by house
over the door of which was inscribed,
Let nothing evil enter here!' he
asked, "How then can the owner get

EXTRA SESSION
OF SENATE MAY HAVE TO BE
CALLED BY TRE PRESl-
DENT
WAY ee Necessary to Consider State
hood Bill, Canal Treaty and
Other Measures.
EXTRA SESSION

Other Measures.
Washington. Jan. 29#if it is neses-
sary, in order to beat the statehood
bill, to hold a special session q the
senate after March 10 ratify TIE Gu
ban reciprocity treaty the Panama
canal treaty, the Nlaska boundary
treaty. the Republican leaders in tlu
senate say they Will have such ses.
sion
fhe omnibus statehood bin has all
along been doomed to defeat The Re
publican leaders are determined more
than ever To prevent the passage, OF
that bill. This is a remarkable policy
for that party. in view of their plat
form promises of statehood for these
territories. But they have the die
tum of Senator Mark Hanna that these
pledges are made to be broken and
count for nothing. They will act ac-
cordingly.
Prominent Republican senators pre-
dictGd special session Of the senate
after March I, TO act ON these treaties.
They based that prediction on Tire
assumption that Mr. Quay would car
fy his advocacy Of the statehood bill
10 the point Of preventing action upon
the treaties. They do not believe that
Senator Quay will have the support
Of a sufficient number Of senator's
to force such a contingency. but of
expressed intention of holding ZIP
the public business until q vote is
reached on his bill. and they nov are
considering the alternative course they
are to pursue if he persists in his
declared policy. and can make go of
it.
4 distinct policy Of aggression in
the statehood fight is to be pursued
hereafter by the Republican opponents
of the omnibus bill. Republican lead.
ers such as Senators Aldrich, Hale,
Lodge and Spooner will hereafter take
active participation in parliamentary
proceedings. as well as interest in
the inside workings of the legislative
game, and will give battle to Senator
Quay upon every occasion.
Senator Aldrich gave evidence of
Ibis determination by his action
enedavOring to prevent Sena
II Quay from assuming control
OF the time of the senate before morn
ing business was concluded, or the
hour of l O'Clock arrived He invoked
the senate rule to that effect and to-
morrow will try to convince the chair
that other business may proceed until
/ O'Clock.
This was but small straw to poin,
the direction of legislative wind, but it
indicates that direction in which it is
blowing. and it will blow a gale before
it is over.
If Senator Quay should carry his de-
termination to obstruct business to the
oint of opposing the anti trust bill
md could command following strong
enough to enable him to do it. the re-
suit would be the calling of the extra
session of conegress. but nobody ser
iously believes Mr.. Quay will do that,
or can do it.
A special session of the senate for
he ratification Of treaties would be
brought to bear for speedy ratification
nd getting away, it is thought Senat-
or Quay could not long continue his
hold-up of the senate.
