When papers of the ability and influ-
enceof the Argus-Leader get far enough
above petty partlsanship to not attempt
tocreate strife in the ranks of the opposi-
tion by arousing race prejudice in poll
tics, a big advance in that direction will
have been made.

The wise physician after administering
a dose of medicine waits long enough to
see it's effect before he tries different
remedy. He doesn't follow it immedi-
ately with another dose consisting of
different ingredients or the same in differ
ent proportions. Congress at this juno
ture may we'll emulate the wise physi-
clan. 1t has been called together to pre-
pare and administer a remedy for the
existing financial depression. 1t has
practically agreed upon the remedy, and
will soon, if the signs are not mislead-
ing, have administered it. When it has
done this it should leave the patient
alone long enough to see how the reme-
dy works. This, it can do effectually
only by adjourning and going home If
it remains in session some Of the numer-
Gus financial doctors of which it is COM
posed will continually ~rbe preparingsnew
doses and threatening the country with
them, and even if they do not succeed
in administering them the effect of the
threats alone will be bad
The Democrats above all othersssought
to be in favor of an adjournment imme-
diately after the Sherman law is repealed
if they believe what they have been say
ing. Their theory has been that all the
troubles the country has been suffering
from are the direct outgrowth of the
Sherman law, and that with that repealed
business would Immediately revive,
money become plenty, confidence return
and everything go along swimmingly.
If they really believe that theory, they
ought nor only to be willing but anx-
ious to adjourn as soon as the obnoxious
statute is disposed of; for if the
result that they have been predicting
followed it would be most
signal triumph for them, inasmuch
as it would go very far to prove their as
sertion that the whole trouble has been
caused by the unwise legislation of q
Republican Congress. 1t is a significant
fact, however, that all the opposition
to adjournment and all the propositions
for an extension OF the session beyond
the repeal Of the Sherman law come
from the Democrats. Apparently they
are very reluctant to put their professed
belief in regard to the cause of the pres
emit depression to the test.

Mr.. Speaker, it is SO unusual for the
presiding officer of this body to leave his
exalted position and participate in de-
bate upon the floor, that it has even
been questioned by the judicious wheth-
er he ought to do it at all But of that
make no question. He alone is the judge
of the propriety of bringing the power
of his great office upon the floor of the
House. In time of great emergency,
when he felt, perhaps, that those gentle
men whom he had associated with him
on the Committee on Rules were not en-
tirely adequate to the discussion as it
proceeded, it was for him to decide
whether his powerful aid should be
thrown into the balance. applause on
the Republican side.

The terrible disaster at Chester by

Mutual, lost his life, will be thoroughly
Investigated by the Massachusetts, Rail-
road commissioners, and until their ver-
dict is given we may not know definitely
the cause of the accident. There is strong
reason for believing, however, that in
the process of strengthening the bridge
to bear the huge weight of the modern
rolling stock of the road it had been
temporarily weakened. The bridge did
not fall in the ordinary sense, the floor
did not break or give way. A workman
who saw the accident said that" the train
and the bridge seemed to swing out into
the stream, which would not have been
the cast. had it..simply given way from
excessive burden. 1t seems that the old
plates of the top chords had been re-
moved preparatory to riveting them to
the new plates. This caused weakness
of the trusses, with the consequence
that the power of resistance to the os-
cillatory motion which train always
creates was much reduced. The bridge
began to swing when the train struck it,
and finally broke from it's fastenings to
the stone pier and swung out into the
river.

Decentralization of returning confidence
land very significant one-is to be
found in the fact that comparatively few
of the notices of Withdrawals from
the savings banks are being enforced.
A little reflection has convinced the
timid ones that the safest place for their
money is in the savings banks. and they
are disposed now to let it remain. This
is the case not merely in this city, but
allsover the eastern section of the country.
The scare" has spent itself. This does
not probably mean an immediate revival
of business to the booming point, but
it indicates a gradual return of conf

stantly choose the latter, that is, they
will shut down the mill, with the con-
sequence that the operatives will be
thrown entirely out of employment and
be earning no money at ALL These are
times for working men to display some
common sense, to count carefully the
cost, and not to rush headlong into
line of action at the dictation of hot
headed leaders. There is no doubt that
a great many of the mills that are now
running could be shut down with less
loss to the stockholders than is being
incurred by keeping. them in operation.
Indeed we have little doubt that
the owners of many of them
would be well pleased if their oper-
atives would force suspension upon
them by exorbitant demands. Such be-
ing the case it is the highest wisdom
on.the part of the operatives to abstain
from any act or demand that will give an
excuse for shutting down. They had
better submit to some injustice even,
