The Speakers Eye.

The success of the insurgents in dem- onstrating that Speaker Cannon's fla miliar maxim that the majority con troI the house of representatives is having it's natural effect. No longer iatimidated by a "czar." the members are insisting upon recognition by the chair with a vigor that they would not have thought of in the olden days. Take the exchange between Repre- sentative Fitzgerald and Chairman Mann the other day. The Illinoisan. temporarily presiding. failing to recog- niZe the gentleman from New York as promptly as desired Mir. Fitzgerald admonished the occupant of the late throne that if he didn't talk so much Ee could attend to business. Strange to say. considering tile reputation of Mir Mann as a bclligerent. he replied meekiy enough that he had not seen the gentleman from New York Where upon the gentleman from New York retorted that he was not responsible for the eyesight of the chairman.

The Unhappy Ending.

The successes of a dramatical and musical season now verging toward the close have been characterized by extreme gloom. Nearly everything has ended in the bIackest tragedy. Mr. Fitch's play. The City" is somber to the last degree. and the French tri- umph. 'sThe Lily" is a study in misery. MT Pinero's Mid Channel 2 has scarcely 9 moment that is nor cruel. 'Elektra" is one of the most calamit- ous of all the Greek plays. and of the important operatic revivals.. "Saiome' is a study in degeneracy while "Pel- leas and Mellsande" may be described as a moan in five acts.
 The public seems to have arrived at the belief that a book or play or an opera cannot be truthful and hence of the highest order, unless it has an un- Happy ending. It is loudly proclaimed by many writers that our novels are not great, because our authors shirk the truth and have happiness on the last page. But do they shirl<- the truth? Love is the largest concern of fiction and the drama. and in real life men and women usually marry the people whom they want to marry. When the novelist brings his hero and heroine to the altar, at the close of his book is entirely logica. It hap pens that way in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred.-N. Y. World.
