EXTRA SESSION.

In letter to the New York Evening
Post, Congressman Harter of Ohio,
gives his opinion as to what the pro-
gramrne of the extra session should be
as follows:
1.-The purchasing clause of the so-called
Sherman act should be- promptly repealed
and without conditions of any kind.
2.-The national banks should be allowed to
issue notes up to the par value of their
bonds deposited to secure their circulating
notes.
B.-xWhen he deems it necessary for the pur-
pose of;fnaintaing the paper and silver money
Of the United States at a parity with its gold
money or when he deems 1t necessary in order
tc promptly pay all debts Of the United States
as they become due and payable, the Secretary
OF the Treasury should be authorized, with the
approval offthe President, to sell in such
amounts, at such times, and upon such terms as
he considers wise, fve-thirty, per cent bonds
of the United States.

prospect staring them in the face that
their stocks may have to be thrown on
the market in competition with the pro-

have been given offices by this Demo-

Two Lewiston young men had sur
prising adventure while driving home
from Poland Springs late Thursday
evening. They were driving their horse
past the long swamp just the other side
of Danville Junction when they were
startled by the most hideous caterwaul-
ings they ever heard. The horse
stopped and trembled like an aspen Leaf.
The young men tried to urge him on
but were unable to do S Again the
cries which sounded like cats howl
magnified several diameters were repeat
ed, and the acute ears of the men could
detect heavy foot falls apparently about
100 yards away into theiswamp. One OF
them cried ont and the author of the
bowls answered back. Several times
they repeated the cry and each time they
got an answer. The noise appeared to
be going away instead of moving nearer
and finally ceased. One of them got out
and examined the horse after they got
out of the swamp, and found him bathed
in sweat, although they had not driv-
en- fast and the night was cool.

Too often the college girl feels out of
touch socially 1t is hard for her to find
her exact place. Yet the college woman Of
all others should be leading social power,
since she ought to be able to add much to
current life. There is also a vital response
bility involved, for a college girl not only
returns in some instances to home where
social leadership is hers by right, but when
she marries her husband is in many cases
man of distinct prominence and wide in
fluence, and she should be adequate for the
new position which she holds as his wife
The social difficulties Of college girls usu-
ally arise from one OF two causes In a
few cases they do not care for society and
scorn it outright; others do care for it, but
are SO alarmingly earnest and from the

able socially; between them and the world

The New York Herald has become
very conservative In its views 10 re-
gard to the revision OF the tain. and
advises that radical sweeping changes
cannot be made without disastrous
effect on the business and industrial
interests Of the country. II says;
There are two vital essentials to sue.
ceesful tariff revision at this time
first, the country should know with
out delay what the chances arc to be,
and, second, the revision should be
moderate and gradual. Failure on
either OF these points is sure to do
mischief and likely to work disaster.
The people are now expecting q
change IN the tariff law. Until they
know what that change is to be there
will be doubt, uncertainty and sus.
pense in business circles which must
obviously have deeterioGs effect on
trade and industry. 1t ia important
that they shall know al the earliest

shall have due notice before it goes

1t is still more imperative that th'
revision shall be moderate, iudiciou.

commercial and industrial interest,"
OF the country. No radical or sudden
changes can ever be made in the tar
III without disastrous consequences
and danger OF panic. As the tariff
vitality affects trade and industry, EN-
ployment and wages, markets anc
values. it cannot be suddenly or rad
ically altered without demoralizing
the interests affected by it. To revo
lutionize the tariff is to revolutlonlzi
business and industrial operations,
The Democrats must bear these car
dinal principles in mind if they would
serve the best interests OF their party
as well as the country. II they wish
to save the country from disaster ant
their party from rout they must re
