THE EXTRA SESSION BEGUN

Seldom has a Congress assembled amid so
many anxieties and hopes as attended the be-
ginning of the extra session yesterday. 1t will
depend in great measure upon the message
which the President is expected to submit to-
day whether the hopes or the anxcties are to
predominant from this time forward We are
glad to believe that Mr.. Cleveland is not only
fully conscious of his immense responsibility
but prepared to discharge it fearlessly and
faithfully. 1t is gratifying to know that an
extraordinary proportion OF the peoples repre-
sentativeS were present when the roll was
called Of $50 members of the House only
twenty failed to answer to their names. When
the circumstances are cOnsidercd-the unusual
summons. the season of the year, the chances
of life and health, the special labOrs and
worries which Congressman are now sharing
with the rest of the people, and the change of
plans which attendance at an extra session in
volycd-it will be acknowledged that the spirit
indicated by this prompt and full gathering is
extremely creditable and encouraging. 1t can
at least be said without waiting for further
developments that Indifference to grave
emergency will not deface the record which is
about to be made.
In this omen it is pleasant and not too san
guine. we trust 10 find warrant for the hope
that genuine patriotism is to control and in
sire the Nations lawmakers Certainly If is
me when the people urgently need and de-
mail to be 50 served The enormous losses
whlcLhave been suffered can be repaired only
slowly the perplexities which involve the pres
ent ana Nreateh the future cannot be instantly
removed. But il is possible for a Congress of
patriots 10 n-establish large measure of pub
nc cOiihdenc,and to restore tranquility, even
though prospeity may not at once return. Not
often In our hi'ory has the country been 80
unwilling to lIste TO selfish pleas. to tolerate
partisan contention. and, in general, 10 submit
To unworthy PURPOSE. Not often has there
been an ampler opportunity for craftsmanship

This il plainly time for suspension OF Indg-
ment regarding the charges which have been
brought against the superintendent Of the Ehnira
Rcformatcry by a former inmate Of that lnstltl-
ton NO one who knows Mr.. Br0ckway and the
admirable work which he has carried on at Eliniri
for nearly twenty years will attach much nm
porancc to the allegations made by young man
subjected 10 discipline there that he was shame
fully and brutally abused in an attempt to make
him confess an offence of which he was not guilty
The reputation OF the rctormat0ry and of ITS
superintendent j. too well established to make
these charges credible. IL is not surprising. how
ever. that attacks are made on Mr.. Brockway and
hs work He is not in favor with the politicians,
for he has steadfasty refused 10 allow politics
Ia enter into the mana cement OF the reiormatory
and of course he has made enemies. though 1t IL
a most gratifying fact that many of the young
men who have been under his care look upon
him as one of their best friends. The work OF
the rcformatory at Elmira is well known IL is
excellent work The methods adopted are wise
and they are wisely administered The charges
which have been made are yet to be proved meaI-
time there is an exceedingly strong probability
that they cannot be proved.

uncleanliness The officials generally seem to

Commissioner.

There were no scenes OF remarkable interest
at the opening of the special session OF Con-
eress. unless one or two g breaks by Demo
Gratis in the House and the drawing OF seats In
that branch be counted. Not the least note
worth, incident of the day was the carly adj
ionrnment of the Senate, thus throwing the
Presidents message over until to-day. II any
dramatic stroke had been planned in the de-
livery of the message. its effect will be al least
partly lest by the enforced postponement. The
action OF the Senate, however was taken as
mark of respect to the late Mr. Stanford and
therefore possesses no special significance.
