Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1892-11-24

we are all entitled to draw, perhaps
not equally, but justly, each receiving
a fair portion of individual prosperity.
Let us avoid trampling on each other
in our anxiety to be first in the distri-
button Of shares, ,and let us not attempt
to appropriate the share of others.2 Is
this the language of a conspirator
against his country's welfare: or of a
patriotic citizen who believes in every
man being given an equal chance to
enjoy the greatest attainable pros
perity.
Senator Carlisle, who only stopped in
Washington few hours on his way to
see his family, said Of the extra session
question: 1T will depend upon condi-
tions at this time undeveloped. and
which only time will develop. If there
is an extra session it will probably not
meet until late in the fall. The tariff
alone will not furnish sufficient
reason for an extra session.
The financial affairs Of the Gov
ernment may be such as to make an
extra session imperative. 1t appears
probable that we shall find that there
is not enough money in the Treasury
for the needs Of the government.
There is a situation in the treasury
which every thoughtful man who has
considered the matter has long fore
seen. There is an accumulation of de-
ficiencies and obligations that have
been contracted and will come over to
us. 1t may be that this situation will
furnish reason enough why an extra
session should be called. We shall
have to see what is done at this session
Of congress. If the Sherman silver
law be not repealed, and other action
such as the situation demands taken
we may be swamped. Upon these
thidgs depend the calling Of an extra
session.
Representative Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia, who presided over the conven-
tion which nominated Cleveland and
Stevenson, and who has now gone to
New York upon the invitation of Mr..
Cleveland (many believe that he can
have place in the cabinet, if he de-
sires it) is one of the strongest advo-
Gates for the holding of an extra ses-
sion of congress as soon as practicable
after the Inauguration, and following
are his reasons. The true worth and
value:of tariff bill cannot be tested
in short time, and the first effects ap-
pear to be sometimes what they really
are not. 1 think it would be most i'm
polite to place a new tariff bill before
the country just previous to the elec-
tions of 1884. For this reason I favor
the extra session idea and think the
sooner the proposed tariff changes go
into effect the better will the final re-
suit be for our partY.''
Democratic organizations intended
to come to the inauguration would bet
ter ''geta move" on their application
for qcarters or they may have to sleep
in tents, SO rapidly are rooms being
already booked. The same chairman
who made such a LaagudGcent success
of the first Cleveland inauguration has
been put at the head of the citizens in
augural committee and the prelimi-
nary arrangements are already we'll
under way. ...-
The crocodile tears now being shed
by Secretary Noble and Superinten-
dent Porter, because two Census bureau
employees have been detected in crook
ed work, one trying to steal votes IN
New York and the other furnishln
the government false reports On Alas
ka, for use before the Behring Sea
Court of Arbitration, are odd to say
the least, when the record Of the
Bureau is called! to mind.
