WAsuIS6roS, October el.-The ErniRg
Star saysif the Democrats make an extra
sessionot Congress necessary by failure
to pass the appropriation bills, in order 10
have Immediately control OF both Houses
Of Congress after March 4, to pass party
measures, they will lay themselves open
to some harsh criticism. Under ordinary
circumstances they might plead as rea-
son for refusing TO pass the appropriation
bills that the amounts asked for the differ
ent departments are excessive, but the es.
Inmates for money 70 carry on the Govern
ment for the next fiscal year are so low
that 1t will be almost impossible to Justly
find fault with them. The amounts to be
asked for will be much smaller than have
gone TO Congress for years. The President
has directed this. Several OF his Cabinet
officers, after being instructed by him to
put their estimates down TO as low q notch
rs possible, have, after cutting in every
direction that seemed possible 10 them,
gone 10 him with amounts that he has
directed to be reduced hundreds OF thous-
ands Of dollars. II is stated that none Of
the estimates will exceed the appropria-
ton made by the last Congress. Under
these appropriations there are several de-
ficiencies which win have to be made good,
and win, Of course, exist the next year,
but as Congress would not provide fof
them, when asked, it will have to make
them good as they occur, or increase the
asked for by the heads OF depart
ments. With such condition OF ofaffairs II is
hard tosee, ,eyenifthe Democratsshould de- |
sire an extra session, what reason they
can assign for making one necessary, un-
less they openly say yiti is only to secure
control ofthe organization Of the
legislative branch Of the Government, be-
lore the datewhen it would come TO them
anyhow The talk this evening isthat the
Democrats will not try 70 force the calling
Of the Forty-sixth Congress in extraord-
mary, session, by allowing any important
appropriation bill to fail, butto pigeon-hole
enough OF the Presidents nominations in
The Senate to make special session Of
that body necessary. Such contingency
would Of course be taken advantage Of and
he Democrats would reorganize the SEN
lte and elect those OF their own faith to
administer the Senate offices.

What Can be Done for Manufacturing In
terests by Cheaper FreIghts.

The Pittsburgh Telegraph has been show
ing what Pittsburgh iron interests have
nSered Tor several years past for the Lack
OtniIroad competition. In the matter of
oN ireights the burden has been very
heavy, While Youngstown, in the Ma
houing Valley, has for the last two years
paid only 81 per ton freight on Lake sa-
periorO ore from Cleveland, Pittsburgh has
Paid$ 81 %; and while the furnacemen OF
Youngstown could put their product into
Cleveland at 81 l0per ton, it cost buyers
At Pittsburgh 81 81 per ton to import from
Youngstown. III this way the ore buyers
we're Disseminated against, and in the
s1ne way buyers OF pig iron were dis
erininated against. The aggregate dis
srninations since 1871 are figured out by
the Tdguph to amount to 81, 100000. "ls
aaay wonder" asks that paper, "that un.
det such burdens the iron interests Of
Pittsburgh have languished2"
The freight charges on iron ore to Pitts
Sargh and Wheeling, from the lake, are
noVabOut 81 soto = 90 per ton. These
charges ought to be and viii perhaps
shortly be reduced to 81 so. Such a re-
daetion at a time like this, when the iron
Interest is 50 hard pressed, would be q
se1tboon, and therefore the Pittsburghcrs
''ok Ioswari with much interest to the
.peedy completion Of their new line to
Cleveland, The completion of that line

only OnOre but on their manufactured pro-
Sact and thus enable Pittsburgh as the

cent. from the seventh to fourteenth
year San Juun Silver mines, to be open
ed through the Grand Canon OF Arkan-
sas, and the ultimate design is to connect
with the Kansas Pacific. This transaction
is regarded as defeat OF Jay Gould, and
q warm competition with the Union Pacific
for freight traffic is predicted.
