Communism in America.

If the teachings of Justus Schwab and
his communistic confraternity could be
carried out to their legitimate conclusions,
we should have re-enacted here on Ameri-
can soil the horrors OF the reign of terror
in France. Whatever excuse the Red
Republicans or red-handed regicides and
anarchists of Europe may find for their
sanguinary doings there, no shadow of ex-
cuse exists for the maintenance in this
country of such an organization and the
incubation of such ideas as those recently
enunciated by the maleontents of New
York and Chicago, the hot-beds of COM
munism here. Under the benign infu-
ence of our free institutions, every man is
the arbiter of his own fortune, and every
avenue of trade, honor and preferment, lie
wide open before him. What room for
discomfort, therefore, under the freest
government on the face ofthe whole earth?
"Why, there are millionaires among US,
say these agrarians aud destructives, and
the knife must be put to their threats and
their millions confscated, for the heinous
crime of being wealthy. Nor would the
agrarian spirit stop at millions, it would
seize upon thousands as well, when larger
sums had been exhausted. One excess
would follow another until the frenzy ex-
hausted itself and reason resumed its
sway. Such would be the logical sequence
of communism fully carried out. But
there is a conservatism ia this country
which would arrest the progress of these
destructives before they could effect much
harm, and the result would be the wiping
out Of the disturbing element, and the re-
storatiO1 of order. These lnalcontents are
chiefly foreign exi!es, who have introduced
their baleful and disturbing principles into
this country, and few of our native pop
ulation who have been sedueed by them
iuto the adoption of their errors. Ii these
wild and deluded day dreanlers should ever
attempt to put their theories into practice,
they would suddenly find themselves in
the jaws Of utter destruction.

An Extra Session.

1t IS stated in political circles in Wash
instou, that an extra session Of Congress
will be called about the middle Of April,
90 consider the funding bin, which is the
main reason for the call. An extra ses-
sicn would be very ineourenient, as well
as expensive, but it is thought to be pre-
ferable to neelecting the opportunity af-
foTded BY the present favorable condition
OF the money market to float the bonds at
three or three and half per eentum,
instead Of continuing to pay the current
rates of Interest. Had the bill not been
vetoed BY Mr. Hayes, $4,000, 1900 would
have been saved to the treasury iu the way
of interest.
Certain Republicans 10 Washington say
sllat the political necessity for an extra
session IS greater than the tiaaaciaf, for
she reason, as they allege, that it is ueces
sary 10 order TO retrieve the blunder made
by Mr. Hayes 10 vetOing the funding bill.
They claim that the Republics party can
not 90 before the country and attempt to
palliate that blunder. They must remedy
is promptly. aud that can only be done
through an extra session, and passage Of
a new bill, or by reepaetiag the old one
They also point to the fact that the ma
tioaai banks have taken the field 10 oppo-
sition to an extra session, and that the
President eaasot afford to permit them to
bali1oze him, as they did Mr.. Hayes.
