VIII There Be An Extra Session
OF CongreSS2

In less than four weeks the Forty
seventh Congress will come to an
end, aud the question will be pre-
scented TO President Arthur whether
or not the business interests of the
country will justify the calling of
the new Congress together in extra
ordinary session. In saying this we
assume, Of course, that the prevail
ing opinioa in Washington is cor
rect, TO wit, that there will be no re-
visionary Tariff bill passed at this
session, and there will be no essen
tial modification of the laws in re
gard 10 the collection of internal
reyende taxes. Ii the Senate Tariff
bill is finally perfected aud passed
by that body, and spasm of com
mon sense should seize upon the
Democrats in the House long enough
to allow it to become . Law, in thai
event the necessity for an extra SEES
sion of Congress would disappear,
But that is not likely to happen.
The Bourbon obsuuctionists seem
determined that no bill Of the kind
shall be agreed upon, and they have
the power to prevent il.
So far rs the Republican party is
concerned, it cannot be held rcspon,
siblo by the country any longer be-
cause the internal revenue taxes are
not reduced and q stop put to the
accumulation of at least sl0o,oO0,ooo

President Arthur cannot render the
Republican party more signal SER
vice than to call an extra session of
Congress on the 5th of March, inn
mediarely upon the adjournment Of
the present one He might reason
ably assume, when he remembers
the great tidal wave Of reform that
swept over the country on the 18th day
of last November, that the country
wanted a change, and he should al
low it to have the benefit of it az
soon as possible. 1t might be bad
for the best interests Of the whole
people-we sincerely believe it
would be-to have the Democratic
circus begin its performance on the
9Th of next March; but it would un-
d 'ubtedly be good thing for the
Republican partly hjcago Journal.

Is THIS free country or a king
dom? One newspaper before us ex-
claims that "Coal is King" Another
declares that "Corn is King" The
South claims that "Cotton is King"
The anti-monopolists have raised a
cry that "the railroads rule us"
Some people have been convinced
for some time that the "political
boss" is the tyranC who rules MS.
The very fact that there is such a
diversity of opinions ~ to the ruling
powers of this country makes it
possible for us to have still a little
faith that the people continue to
have the reins in their own hands
They certainly have the power if
they choose to use it.

Clerical BIunderS.

The official proceedings of both
branches of the Legislature, as re-
corded in the journals of the two
houses, are supposed to serve as a
true record. This years Assembly
journal is so full Of errors of the
gravest nature that it is an incom-
pete and in some cases, untrue
record. The blunders which have
been allowed to creep into it are
simply stupendous. In the earlier
part of the session the organization
of the House was entirely omitted
aud was discovered by the members,
but not in sufficient season to pre-
vent a re-casting of the plate by the
official state printers. The first
blunder has been followed by a sue
cession of Others. The passage of
the Express Bill was omitted from
the Assembly journal entirely. In
numerous instances messages from
the Senate have been left undisposed
of--as far as the journal record is
concerned. The resolution of Mr..
Grub, relative to the stationery
crab, was adopted on a call of the
ayes aud noes, but the Journal sim
ply records the adoption without
giving a list Of names for or against.
Further on, Mr.. Naber introduced Il
resolution TO authorize the Superin-
tendent of Public Property to sell
to each member Of the Legi lature
stationery at cost not in excess of So.
Mr.. Kuntz offered an amendment
that the amount which at that time
had been already furnished by the
Chief & ERIK be included in that sum.
rhe passage of the amendment is
recorded, but there is nothing con
corning the original resolution to
which the amendment was offered.
It was a notorious fact at the Cap.
itol that Mr.. Carr secured the posi-
ton of chief clerk through the in
strumentality of John Winans, Civil
service Independent, and number
of disguised Democrats have written
him to the effect that as he furnished
the Assembly with a chief clerk,
perhaps he had better also run the
business pertaining to the office.
Another characteristic blunder was
discovered Saturday. The Assembly
journal contained q record of the
proceedings as though there had not
been two sessions. The printer hap
pened to be aware that there were
two sessions on Friday and sent a
message to the Chief Clerk to that
effect. As the Chief Clerk and his
two assistants were not to be found,
Mr., Huntington, whom they have
employed to aid them, corrected the
error. Mr.. Huntington is the clerk
who was employed at the beginning
of the session as an aid to the mex
perienced regular force and after
wards discharged, contrary To con
tr ,ct, because he is Republican,

The case of Archbishop Heiss
against Joseph Vosburg, which was
tried before Judge Clementson at
Lancaster last week, resulted in
favor of the plaintiff, the jury re-
turning verdict fixing the damages
at 5000 under agreement of counsel
and by instruction Of court. Judge
Clementson held that the property
was the personal property of Arch
bispop Heiss, who could dispose of
it to any person he might see fit, and
give good and secure title. This
ends the case, except to fix the
amount Of damages, which was done
by agreement as above. The case
will go to the supreme court, and ii
is tho opinion OF attorneys, includ-
ing council for the plaintiff, that if
the decision ia sustained by that
court, church property Of the Roman
Catholic denomination where the
title is vested in a bishop would b,
subject to taxation. In conversation
with the correspondent, however,
Archbishop Heiss expressed himself
well pleased with the ruling of the
court.
