THAT EXTRA SESSION.
President Interested In
What Is Being Said.
ALL OPPOSE SHERMAN ACT.
Congress Would Be Convened Imme-
diatsly If its Repeal Was Certain.

WASHINGTON, June 30. = President
Cleveland is immensely interested In all
that Is being said In the newspapers, In
letters and kilograms he receives, and by
his callers, In regard to calling congress
together earlier than September with a
view to the repeal of the Sherman act. In
fact, no other man In the United States
has a greater interest, for none has a
greater stake In this matter.
The president appreciates that the pros
pcrity Of the country, the popularity OF
his party and the success OF his admins
tration turn just now, apparently, on the
Action He shall Take
In this regard. He sees that the demand
for session Of congress before September
is spreading from the east to the south and
west, and he is very glad to sec this evil
dence that the whole country is rising
against the Sherman act.
But be does not believe that this means
that the senators and representa-
whose votes will determine the matter are
prepared yet to repeal the burdensome
law. He believes that the opinion Of
those among them who have been un-
willing to vote for repeal, unless free coin
age or some other Objectionable legisla-
tion should be substituted, il changing
under the effects of the act and the pres
sure of public opinion, but he does not
think that this change Is sufficiently gen
eral or advanced to make it safe TO ask
congress to meet here immediately and
Repeal the Sherman Act
He thinks the present situation, bad as
IL is, is better than 1t would be II he called
congress together now and 1t failed to re-
peal the Sherman act. 1t Is because he
believes that that would be the result OF
bringing congress togsther before Septem-
Der that he sticks to his purpose TO wait.
1t must be remembered that the prcsi-
dent sees Democrats and senators and rep
resentatives from all parts Of the country
almost every day, aud that his opinions as
to the probable action Of congress are
based on his confidential talks with them,
during which he faithfully asks their aid
in this regard. It ought to be understood
that IL the president coull be assured that
congress would repeal the Sherman act he
would not hesitate day In issuing his call.

The Sacred SERPENT of Epypt.

A general belief in the divine charac-
ter and healing powers of the sacred
terpent is to be met with all over Egypt.
Even the myths which the old Egyp-
tians associated with the snake are still
prevalent Egyptians of all classes
still believe that when ''a serpent
grows old wings grow out of its body"
and that there are serpents which kill
by darting flames in the victims face.
How old such beliefs are in this coun-
try need not be repeated to those who
have seen the pictures in the tombs of
the kings at Thebes The seref, or
flying serpent" and the snake from
whose mouth flames issue are among
the commonest of the figures painted
on their walls. It is not, however, as
Kakodaemon, but as Agathodaemon,
that the divine serpent of ancient
Egypt still maintains his chief hold on
the belief of the Egyptian people. Each
house still has its harras, or guardian
snake" commonly known as the har-
sas elbet, ''the protector of the house"
The snake is fed with milk and eggs,
md care is taken not to do it harm

MEANS BUSINESS.

In reference to the item telegraphed
from Philadelphia to the effect that the
Baldwin locomotive works had received
an order from the Santa Fe system for
seventy-one new engines, General Man
ager Frey of the Santa Fe compay said
to an Associated Press reporter today:
'The information is correct. The COM
pany has placed this order mainly be-
cause of the plans for greatly increased
service over the main lines of the entire
system
This is a most encouraging augury for
better times in the west, and especially
IN Kansas where the great network Of
the Santa Fe's lines are located. The
far-seeing and conservative management
of that greats ystem do not plan such
large increases in lis transportation de-
partment at haphazard or without
assurances that the additional facilities
will be required to meet the demands to
be made upon it.
Unless Kansas should have the mis-
fortune Of widespread and general
crop failure next year, the reverse of
which is now abundantly presaged, the
EAGLE predicts that it will be one Of un-
usual prosperity to the state.

LET THE SHOW GO ON.

| 1t will be interesting to note the aero.
batic feats of Democratic congressman
on the tariff issue. The committee on
ways and means will report bill which
is intended to fulfill the pledges of the
Chicago convention, and yet hold the
varied elements and influences in line
This is an absurdity on its face, but it
will make conditions none the less diff
cult to meet. No extraneous influence,
however strong, will squeeze out a
final vote adverse TO the pockets
of the individual mem ber's consistency.
He has improved the opportunity since
the extra session to size up his district.
From this he has made some resolutions
on the independent line, the result of
which is an indissoiuble compact be-
tween his individual prospects for reelec-
ton and the commercial interests of his
people. Every mothers son OF them will
feel in duty bound to reform the tariff
anywhere and everywhere save
in his own district. The willy
Bourbon from Ohio will wax
eloquent to redness of the face in
favor of the repeal of the sugar bounty,
but free wool would everlastingly dis
rupt and bankrupt the party. Louisi-
ana, California, Kansas and Nebraska,
with their cane and beet sugar indus
tries will have a hand in the wool pull
ing. party or no party. Wisconsin and
Michigan will construct high board
fence around the duty on .lumber,
leaving Pennsylvania and Alabama iron
to corrode with free and friendless rust,
and as all along the line.
A potent factor IN the contest will be
the dictum of an imperious ruler. Thus
far he has not astonished his party with
extra favors, and the point where fealty
to his behests leaves off and duty to self
begins is where the conniption will come
In. BY stroke of the hand he may
everlastingly smash the sacred urn con-
tanning executive patronage. This will
bring on the cold sweat of despair, not
only to the member himself, but to his
cohort of blowers and strikers at home.
Another factor not to be forgotten is
that whatever change is made in existing
laws will not be by the aid Of Republican
votes. The support from that quarter
given to the repeal bill will he found
wanting in this issue; hence, the reform
so long promised, and so ardently
prayed for by our foreign competitors,
will be wrought by Democratic votes.
Let each member come 10 the fore and
strip for the circus. The public has been
treated to headline advertisements of
this performance so long that every feat
of even moderate agility will be APP
plauded to the echo.
BY all means let the show begin.

WOMEN SCRUB THE STREETS.


An Old Philadelphia Custom Which 70 a
Unique as 1t Is Contagious.
Everyone has heard Of the abnormal
cleanliness of the front steps of Phila-
delphia houses, but there is section
in which the streets are scrubbed every
morning. six days in the week, with
not by the hired girl, but by the lady
of the house herself.
The extraordinary practice prevails
IN the section of the city bounded by
Diamond, Broad, Eighteenth and
Huntingdon streets. Every morning
of the week, unless bad weather pre-
vents, a double line of women may be
seen scrubbing away and dashing
buckets of water upon the pavements
to rinse off the soapsuds. These streets
are only about fifteen feet wide from
curb to curb, and the narrowness of
them seems to engender feeling of
responsibility for their cleanliness
These ladies are possessed by this
queer mania to such an extent that
they hire women to do their scrubbing
about their houses, but reserve the
street cleaning for their own special
recreation.
Some of the women were asked why
they did such unpleasant work. One
woman, who did not seem to particu-
larly like the employment, smiled quiz
Zically and said:
That's just the question every one
of us asked when we moved into this
III
idiots for doing 1T for about a week,
and then we got ashamed of seeing the
pavement in front of our own particular
house SO much dirtier than our neigh
boris and SO we got TO work and did as the
other women do, scrub our part of the
street every morning. 1t isn't bit
nice and don't like to do it. but it has
become the custom and / can't stand
against it The house may wait for
scrubbing and the children may run
wild, but we can't neglect the street"
''How did such ridiculous custom
become established" was asked
Nobody knows 1t just broke out
like an epidemic of measles, / suppose,
and when it once got started nothing
could stop it"
What do your husbands think about
this street scrubbing?"
Our husbands? Oh, they growl a
little, but that doesn't matter"
Other women were asked If they
scrubbed the pavemeats because they
liked the work. They all seemed to
think the question preposterous: Il
certainly don't like IT. What in the
name Of goodness is there to like about
it?' That IS the answer one made. and
without exception all those who were
questioned affirmed there was nothing
they detested more than to get out in
the street and scrub
Then to the eues tion as to why they
did it if they didn't like it, some said
they did It because the neigh bors did,
and some few said they couldn't bea,
to see the street in front Of their door.
