MONETARY PRESSURE.

1t is important to realize that these
causes are somewhat complicated. They
are partly political, partly speculative
and partly industrial, says the New
York Tribune The political causes are
uncertainty about the action OF Congress
on silver and the tariff, doubt whether
silver purchases will not sooa make
silver payments inevitable, dis.rust of
foreign investors and money lenders on
this account, consequent sales OF secur-
tiles. Withdrawals OF foreign capital,
and unwillingness 10 lend as much as
usual on stocks of products not yet re-
quire6 or consumption abroad.
Speculative causes spring in part
from decrease in yield of cotton, wheat
and hog products and from foreign un-
willingness to advance as freely as
usual against such products, but still
moro from tho great increase of cur
rencY IN circulation which has made bor-
rowing easy for people who wanted to
get into gigantic operations. The craze
for monopolies and corners in all

borrow money freely for time, but now
they are coming to grief one after an
other with severe losses.
Events like the fall of the coal COM
bination and the break in the whisky
and sugar and lead stocks increase the
distr nst OF foreign lenders, and also in
crease the necessities of many domes site
borrowers. The industrial causes of
pressure spring from the extraordinary
prosperity of the working millions in
past years, and their remarkable pur-
chases nave expanded imports, the in

TIE EXTRA SESSION
To Give the Country IA Chance TO Test tho
New Tariff Measure.

New Tariff Measure.
WASHINGTON, March cot is now
known tnat there will be an extra Sos.
sion. beyond tho decision to call an
extra session no details for the consider
alton OF Congress have been arranged,
and the subject has progressed no fur
thor than determination to have Con.
gress meet in one or the other of the
months named.
Cleveland, it is said, was led to call
the session by the Republican defeat in
1890 following so close on the enact.
mont OF the Mckinley tariff law. lie
believes that fair test of the new tariff
law cannot be had in few months and
therefore has deemed it wise to have
Congress assemble two or three months
earlier than usual. Springer, OF Illinois,
chairman OF the committee on ways and
means, which is charged with the
preparation of tariff bills, was quest.
Toned 10 day relative to the time it
would take to enact q now tariff bill.
He said it would be impossible for
Congress to enact any measure of the
kind wanted earlier than May, If the
subject were considered at the regular
session beginning in December. An
extra session would, of course, bring
the matter to settlement by as much
time as it met in advance of the regular
date and would give the people a fair
opportunity to judge OF the merits or
dement's Of the measure adopted by the
general elections in November, 1894.

wAsHINGTON's COLORED 200.
They Have Wealth, Are Aristocratfe
and Ultra-Fasht0uable.
From the Buffalo Commercial.


A negro arlstocracy! Sounds odd. doesn't
It? Yet such an aristocracy exists IN wash-
ington. and IL is. relatively. at least. the
equal in wealth. culture and refinement Of
that OF our best circles Of white society.
Washington is a coiored mans paradise.
The term "colored man" IL the one
they invariably employ in speaking OF them
selves. They tell you they are not negroes
that negroes are the low blacks-that they
are colored people, ana that whit ladies
and gentlemen appreciate that fact and ad-
dress them accordingly. The standard OF
gentility among the whites II fixed by their
use Of these terms. But. call them what
you please, Washington il their paradise:
the one spot on earth where q part Of their
number have a social standing. and where
they are something more than mere heWero
Of wood and drawers Of water.
The colored aristocracy OF Washington
really numbers about &00 all told. and In
that respect they stand on an equal footing
with Ward McAllister's -four hundred" In
the New York metropolis. These washfng-
ton colored swells live In fine houses. They
are possessed in many cases OF large wealth
They keep their own carriages, and they
have servants in abundance who minister
to their wants. They have everything. In
short. that money and good taste can sug-
gest.
In their church worship the colored flour
hundred" are quite as exclusive as their
white neighbors. and . coiored day iaborer
would hesitate as much TO enter one OF
these sanctuaries as a white man OF the
same degree would In presenting himself at
the portals of Grace Church IN New York.
There are other colored churches thero
where the poor and the fairly well-to-do
meet on equal terms, but they are not the
churches of the -four hundred"
The SWEETEST colored church In Washing
ton is the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian
On Sunday fnnrntnUg 1gfb
vicinity of the church. Is filled with car
riages. The church is small and ultra -fash-
ionable. The most OF the members keep
carriages. and they use them on these occa-
sions. In this respect they are aping the
worst form OF white snobbery. In England
every gentleman walks To church. He may
own a hundred carriages, but he doesn't use
them TO take him TO and from the church.
Some of these days Americans will copy
this custom from their English cousins, and
when the American whites abolish The pres
ent fashion Of riding TO church. the WASH
ington colored swells will profit by the OBJ
1ect lesson.

Hon. Ainsworth Spofforf. the librarian Of
