The Democrats In the Senate tabled NJ :.
Edmunds' resolution, which proposed to con-
fine the business of the extra session to the
consideration of the measures enumerated in
Hayes proclamation. From this we infer
that the Democratic caucus has resolved to
enter upon general legislation. ard in doing
this we believe that it has acted wisely.
In view of the immense amount of relief
demanded by the country. and which can be
afforded by Congress alone, 1t would be great
folly and great cowardice for the Democrats,
who are looked to by the people to befriend
them, to be bulldozed into an early adjourn
ment by fears of popular censure on the
mere ground of expense. As we have said
before, this question OF cost will sink into
utter insignificance In the presence OF the
great issues of trial by jury. OF non-inter-
ference by the army in civil affairs and of the
purity and freedom of the ballot-which are
the immediate provocations of this extraor-
binary convention Of Congress.
The appropriation bills will, OF course, be
the first measures that shall come up for
action; but these have already received the
fullest consideration, both from the press and
from Congress. Besides covering all the
Of the several departments and OF

The Chicago Socialists may possess all the
wild ideas, but they also have some good

city shall be run on cash basis not dollar

The death of Rev. DR.. James Do Koven,
which occurred In Racine a few days ago,
loses to the pulpit one of Its brightest orna-
ments, and to the Episcopal Church one OF
Its strongest minds. He was widely known
and admired for his great gifts, and obtained
more prominence than ever by his rejection
by the standing committees as Bishop of ILL
nois after his election to that dignity. This
was owing to the High Church procliviti@ of
DIR. De Koven. His sudden death will be re-
garded as great loss to the Episcopal
Church especially, and to the cause of re-
iigion at large.

HAD the Republican financial policy
does any one doubt the con-
dition of the producing classes of this
country would have grown worse con-
stantly instead of better2 John Sher-
mans resumption policy contemplated
the destruction Of the entire greenback
currency of over $34O, 100000. The Re-
publicans demonetized silver and pro-
posed to make gold and National Bank
notes the only currency of the country.
Does any one doubt that the destruc-
ton of the greenbacke and the contin-
ued demonetization of silver would
have placed the laboring, wealth-pro-
ducing people at the mercy of the priv
ileged capitalists of the country, and
brought general disaster and distress !?
Let the people remember that it was
the Democratic party that prevented
the destruction of the greenbacks and
remonetized the dollar of our fathers
and thus averated the great calamity.
If there is q revival of business, if
times are more prosperous it is because
the Republicans were prevented from
carrying their destructive policy into
effect. Working men, producers of
