From onr regular correspondent
President Cleveland never did more
universally popular thing than when
he issued his proclamation calling an
extra session OF Congress TO meet Au-
gust z, it being generally conceded BY
everybody that the financial situation
demands Congressional legislation,
although. OF course, there is q differ
ence OF opinion as to. the exact nature
OF what that legislation ought to be.
It IS well known that in calling the
extra session for August instead OF
September n. originally intended, the
II 'esident deferred TO public opinion
a. epresented BY prominent individu-
ais and business organizations in every
section, They stated to him that In
their judgment an early extra session
would have q tendency Of itself to re-
storo public confidence and Improve
the financial situation, and although
it greatly inconvenienced him person
ally and doubtless many Of the Sena-
tors and Representatives who had
made their arrangements for Septem-
Der he yielded, and good effect is
already perceptible.
Now that the extra session has been
called, the question naturally arises.
what will it doP Mr.. Cleveland states
in his proclamation that ssthe present
perilous condition is largely the result
Of financial policy which the execu-
tive branch Of the government finds
embodied in unwise laws which must
be executed until repealed BY Con-
gfess," and 1t would seem that both
HOUSE and Senate being democratic.
there SHOULD be no difficulty in having
those uuwise laws repealed st the re-
quest Of i democratic administration,
particularly when the fact Il remem-
bered that the Chicago platform. upon
which the democratic party carried
the country BY an overwhelming ma
jority, denounced those laws and de-
manded their repeal. but there Is
difficulty, and q doubts although it is
growing less substantial, as to the re-
