forcing temporary political advantage TO create the

little moment to the country, but the dignity ~ the
Senate Is dear TO the whole American people. The
Senate is practically without party majority of any
Kind and the leading Senators of both sides should
unite to frame tile committees in the most satisfactory

should not be organized by manly nutua concession
from the better elements of both Sides and that
would be an act worthy OF the Senate of The United

THE GOOD or EXTRA SESSIONS.
Whatever reasons may be alleged for or
against an extra session of Congress at
an earlier date than the 9Th of next Decem-
ber, it is to be hoped the stale one so often
and so vehemently protested against in these
columns will not be invoked--that the ses-
sion of Congress is in itself an evil. The
idea seems to be spread by the capitalists
silly abetted by Congressman who value
their own leisure on their business profits at
their homes more than the reputation of the
body ofwhich they form part. The class first
named are afraid OF Congress because it
represents and occasionally interferes to
protect the people, and by plausible
sophistry they seem actually To have per
suaded the people that they ought to be
afraid of it too, when the fact Is quite To the
contrary. The National Banks are afraid
the railway kings are afraid, and the baseI
element in Wall street doubtless objects to
an excess of legislation " as "prejudicial
"to the business interests of the country
The people at large, who elect and pay then
Representative to legialate, should take Q
different view OF the matter. How absurd

quality ofthe representation and themeasure,

Moreover, there is moral duty incumbent
upon Congress to pay some attention to al
classes OF its work and not let whole heca
tombs of bills die at each session without re
gard to their merits or dement's. As long a
il retains to itself so many judicial ant
executive functions in regard to the allow
anee and payment of claims and the like
Congress ought in fairness to discharge thos
functions with the same sense of responsi
bility as does a court or a department. Fo
every reason the stale slander ought To b
slenced, that Congress (whateyer the fault
