aus Saturday ior months. but next Mon
day Is pap Gay for them all. and it IS
just as easy Co stay over Sunday and
take your cncck along home with you.
OF course the news Of the extra session
was entirely unexpected by any OF them.
as Mr Cleveland had privately stated
that none would be called before Septem-
ber our Congressman, however, are
unanimous I'm the belief that IL there
lad been no eNieency there would have
been no call. and they are all ready and
willing TO cheorfully respond when the
time arrives.
There is a feeling everywhere that the
financial condition Is In horrible shape.
and most people know that the Sherman
Law has something 10 do with il. and
hence the impression obtains that this
extra session means a swift and sum
mary repeal Of the measure. but many
of the congressman still insist. as they
did last winter. that a repeating act
must embrace a substitute. Some Of them
consider the resembling Of the 10 per cent.
State bank laws would be sufficient,
others want the income tax, and some
want a restitution OF the Bland act So
the matter goes with varying opinions.
and with more or less argument.
our Virginia congressman were general
ly inclined 20 state their views. and those
present to-day were interviewed upon
the subject
Congressman Marshall was OF the opin-
ION that the sherman bill should be re-
pealed, and that Congress should then
consider and pass some wise measure
looking TO relaxation of the present
strnseucy.
i am willing" he said. 'to stand all
the sweltering heat OF an August here. II
hy this the people can get any financial
relief"
Representative Meredith was caught on
his way 20 the departments. surrounded,
ass usual, by a group Of anxious con-
sutuents. 81 am IN favor OF repeating
the Sherman law, and also the 10 per
cent. tax upon State banks. / think
those will serve the purpose"
Congressman ". a. Jones. Of the First
district, when approached, said. Il DO
not think that the demonetization Of
silver IN India shall rightly have any
effect in influencing the action Of our
Government, but, no doubt. IL has 10
some extent had its effect with the Pres
ident and his advisers in Fastening he
extra session. Indeed. ! would not be
surprised if the new attitude Of the India
result, 90 some extent, Of the anticipated
action of Congress on the Sherman bin, |
