The Extra Session.


The President has restored con-
fidence in the financial world and
given a sound guarantee that
the administration will exert
every effort to maintain the stand
ard of the country's currency, by
calling Congress to meet in special
session a month earlier than he had
intended.
The rest remains with Congress.
There is no doubt that it will re-
peal the Sherman act at once. But
in the present contingency there
are several other phases of the ques-
ton to be taken into consideration.
| There are now $3.50, 100000 worth
of useless silver in the Treasury.
1t SHOULD be converted into cash
asset. 1t would relieve the country
and the Treasury to that great ex-
tent.
An enlargement of bank circula-
ton by increased securities would,
also, be measure of vast benefit.
AT the same time it would not be
amiss to let the world know that
Uncle Sam does not propose to car
ry the whole burden of holding up
silver as money metal without
| helm from other nations Whether
he is capable of doing it, or not, is,
at present, beside the question. AT
any rate the free silver men will
jeopardize the very foundation of
-metallism by pushing their cause

churches down in the city appear to
have gone on as if nothing had hap
pened. Out in jackson Park tens
of thousads of people attend the
greatest sermon of the age. Tens
of thousands harmlessly enjoyed the
light, the air, the flowers, the music,
the sunshine and the shade of a
Sabbath in the White City by the
summer sea. Tens of thousands
were elevated, refreshed, invigorat-
ed and inspired. The poor ard
humble were there in great numbers
to get of their day of rest something
more than they were wont to get of
arid street and darkling alley. God
was there in all the glory and
beauty of His works. The dive
keepers only were sad, the bells
only were empty. All honor to the
Chief Justice! Thank God we yet
live in a free land, where constitut-
ed law ever stands between the
twin forces of bigotry and vice, to
stamp out ignorance, and to pre-
serve forever the blessings each to
worship according to his conscience,
