INTEREST IN THE SESSION.
For the First Time In Many Years
 Democrats Control;

For the First Time In Many Years
 Democrats Control. L. Elements in the extra session of con- gress are unusual. President Wilson has called the great body together at time when his party mas absolute con trol of every branch of the govern ment relating to legislation.
 This has not been the case before in twenty years. During that period of long ago when the Democrats were in power President Cleveland called an extra session. but the conditions were vastly different from now.
 The, extra session under President Wilson is remarkable because the law makers to q large extent are men of comparatively recent rise to promi- hence. Because of the fact that the Democratic party is providing a change from Republican rule for the first time in sixteen years great interest is cen tered upon the doings of congress.
 Virtually a new generation of legis- lators has sprung up. With but very few exceptions there are no men who figured in congressional doings of twenty years ago who are sharing the responsibilities of the body now.
 Of only one thing has the public been absolutely certain. and that is that the tariff would be first and foremost among the subjects for work by the legislators, and that revision downward would be the purpose. The legislators themselves have not known just how the revision is to be managed. and it has been well understood that they would not all be pleased over all the details of the ultimate changes. The subject has been thrashed over so often and earnestly that it's intricacies have become feared.
 The ways and means committee. which has had the task of drafting the tentative form of the new tariff meas ure, has been unable to announce com pleton of it's work in advance of the extra session. but the Proba bility is that the measure will be taken up schedule by schedule.
 The public has been led to expect that after the tariff is disposed of con- gross will consider currency, the fn- some tax, Philippine independence and Ne Panama tolls questions.
 Much publicity has been given to the proposed national income tax. The tax will probably apply only to incomes of over $5,OOO annually. Certain members of congress hold that this sort of levy would be confined to but a compara- lively small proportion of the public and that the revenue would not be suf- fcient. They argue that an inheritance tax should be added to insure the need ed revenue

 Thorough, but Moderate.
 We are called upon to render the country a great service in more mat ters than one. Our responsibility should be met. and our methods should be thorough, as thorough as moderate and well considered, based upon the facts as they are, and not worked out as if we were beginners. We are to deal with the facts of our own day, with the facts of no other. and to make laws which square with those facts. It is best-indeed, it is necessary-to begin with the tariff. I will urge noth- ing upon you now at the opening of your session which can obscure that first object ortdfvert our energies from that clearly defined duty At a later time may take the liberty of calling your attention to-reforms which should press close upon the heels of the tariff changes, if not accompany them, of which the chief is the reform of our banking and currency laws, but just now I refrain. For the present I put these matters on one side and think only of this one thing-of the changes in our fiscal system which may best serve to open once more the free chan neIs of prosperity to a great people whom we would serve to the utmost and throughout both rank and file

Lisbon, April ST foresee that I shall soon return to the throne of Portugal said ex-King Manuel, in an interview, published today, in the MOnarchist newspaper Correio which, however, does not disclose the where abouts of the royal parsonage.

He describes the condition of Portugal as depIorable affirming that actual despotism has replaced parliamentary self govern ment and is controlling the courts of justice while neg1ecting the country's agriculture, commerce and industry and augmenting the taxes to such an extent as to force 120,OO0 Portuguese to immigrate during 1912

A rhouahtfuI French Wife.

Weary of life. a farmer went out to his barn and hanged himself. A little later his wife, entering the barn to feed some animals. saw her husband swinging from the rafters. Arguing that If, as it was natural to think, her husband intended to commit suicide he would be exasperated by the frustra- ton of his intention, she left the body as it was and went on with the work of the farm. Several hours later in the evening, when her daughter came back from the fields, the woman told her what had happened. Mother and daughter deliberated for some time as to what ought to be. done and finally decided to inform the mayor. When that official came in haste and cut down the body life had been extinct for several hours.-London Telegraph
