N extra session of Congress is virtually assured. | The obstinacy of the Republican stand-patters in opposing the chief measures of the Administration leaves the President no option save an appeal to the new Congress or a surrender to the reaction- aries. He has wisely chosen to go forward. In the ordinary way of recording events the calling of the extra eession will be attributed to the etatesmenship of the President and to the harmony of view which exists between him and Mr. Clark, the incoming Speaker of the House. But in reality the session is called in response to the vote of the people Inst fall. Before that vote was given, the President had shown himeelf willing enough to let his administration be dominated by the powers that made the Payne tariff. This fact should be borne in mind in these days when «0 many thanges in the Constitution are proposed on the plea of giving the people control of the Government. The people have control now. Whe extra cession will be a proof of it. The Republican President and the Democratic Speaker will be equally eager to do the people's will. nn oan ALL AMERICAN OPERA. EPORTS from Philadelphia concerning the premiere of the American opera “Natoma” are to the effect that the much discussed singing of English words was in a large measure disappointing. The singers were unable to enunciate clearly, and as a conse- quence the words were as unintelligible to the audi- ence as if they had been in a foreign language. Much of this disappointment was due to the presence in the play vf foreign singers unfamiliar with our language, but it appears that some of the native singers were hardly better able to make the words understood. This will doubtless revive the old contentioy that as an under- etanding of English requires a distinct pronunciation of the consonant sounds in all words, it is therefore not a singing language. ‘The public will remember, however, that comic opera has been sung in English with splendid succe: ince the quips and puns and allitera- tions and all the other verbal whimsicalities in which Gilbert delighted have been rendered jntelligibly to a whole generation of audiences by singers of the music of Sullivan, there is ample reason for believ- ing that if the grand opera singers will be as careful as those of light opera we shall have American operatic songs rendered as entertain- ingly as ballads. It is merely a matter of skill. —$__ LORIMER AND SHEEHAN. of the week. From Washington come reports that the direct election amendment is beaten, that Sen- ator Lorimer will not be unseated, and that Senator Root proposes a bill to break deadlocks by having Senators elected by a plurality vote. From Albany we get the old story that Sheehan will not retire, nor will Murphy accept the lesson that he is not to dominate progressive Democracy. Of these issues, that concerning Lorimer and that concerning Sheehan are immediate. The others may wait. In the one case the Senators themselves are to decide whether admission to their body can be obtained by devious and dishonest ways. In the other, it is for Democratic Legislators to decide what sort of man shall represent ew York in the great council of the nation. Both issues are watched by the people, and their judgment will ‘beanade known at the next election. If the Senators are wise they will rid the Senate of Lorimer. If the Legislators are wise, neither Sheehan nor any of his type will go to the Senate from New York, a MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. ITH the organization of a committee of influential men and women pledged to the task of preserving Madison Square Garden, the public may now sup- port the movement with a fair basis of reason for 0 a hope of complete success, The preservation’ of the great building will, of course, require much money, much energy and much good manage- ment. But the supply of those things on behalf of any public enter- prise of high worth and large proportions has never been lacking.

F some inspired liar had not started a story that Florida contained mountains of pure gold and caverns: full of jewels, the discovery of this vast Mississipp! country might have been indefinitely de layed, Many a time in history there has arisen a man who has had but one {dea—and that a wrong one. But by hammering away at that same | mistaken notion he has chanced to hit upon something of real value. For | instance, Hudson was looking for a strait connecting the Atlantic with the | Pacific. And he blundered upon the Hudson River, Columbus, seeking to | reach India by sailing westward, happened upon America—and died without even guessing what he had discovered. Ponce de Leon, hunting for @ fountain of youth that never existed, opened Florida to exploration, Such | another man was. the Spaniard, Fernando de Soto. De Soto had served as a lieutenant in the murderous gang of fortune hunters whom the ex-swineherd, Pizarro, led to the looting of Peru. He had also explored the wilderness of Panama, looking for @ strait—or natural “canal"—which he thought must surely run from ¢he Atlantic to the Pacific. Then he became Royal Governor of Cuba, To the north of this island lay Fforida; and behind Florida an immense continent, most of which was undiscovered. , Around all unknown things there hangs a mystery. | Wild tales and rumors are evolved about them. Among the thousands of won- |derful stories told concerning the North American continent was that of @ treasure land somewhere in the interiors The whole southern section of the continent Was vaguely known in those days as “Florida.” And in Florida this marvellous treasure was sald to be hidden. Indians confirmed the Ie. Pizarro, lured by just such stories, hud conquered Peru and had won in- credible wealth, Cortez had heard those same treasure tales apout Mexico, and had mastered the Azte winning a tremendous fortune. De Soto planned to follow these examples and to seize the uncounted wealth of “Florida.” From the King of Spain he received permission to conquer Florida ‘(at bie own expense). The treasura hunt began. The difference between De Soto and the men he fmitated was that their quests were founded on true stories | while his was based upon a le. He landed near the present city of Tampa, with 600 men, on May pushed northward through the wilderness, 5, 1539, and Indians Were captured and ques- tioned about the “treasure.” Some of them denied any knowledge of ft. Others, under torture or else frightened almost into idiocy, said the treasure country lay to the northwest; beyond their own land, So northwestward the expedition f ed its wa ach day De Soto hoped to come upon traces of wealth. Each day he confronted nothing but bleak and hostile wilderness, His tired men murmured, threatening mutiny, But, gold-crazed, he drove them onward, Through the Alabama country he went, of the greatest river he or his men had ever seen. Its turbid yellow waters stretched away to what seemed Infnite width, De Soto learned from a captive Indian that the stream was known as the ‘Mes-a-seo-be." And the Spaniards corrupted the name to “Misstssippi."" The explorers did not seem to have realized how great a discovery they had just made, Their eyes were treasure-blinded and they pressed on. Through Arkansas and on to the highlands of the and at length came to the banks White Riv hen the men would go no further.

He could not outlive re. Back turned the expedition. But they had barely reached the Mississippt on the return trip when De Soto died. Ignorant of the value of the fact that he had found a new and wonderful country, conscious only that he had not seen any of the paltry yellow metal he had sought, he considered his life wasted. Secretly and by night (for they feared to make known nis death to the Indians whom his fame as a warrior had held at bay), his followers lowered De Soto's body Into the mighty river he had discovered. There, in unmarked, unmarbled grave he sleeps; the grand stream above his head his only monu- ment—and perhaps the grandest monument to Achievement that was ever reared above the body of mortal man.
