IL 80 sensLon wanted.

7 The President has received a good many
appeals within the last day on two %
. cali congress together before September
. 10 the commercial centers especially the
F feeling seems 20 be that She sooner con.
. gross is convened the better it viii be
for the country
No one doubts that the President is
disposed 10 do what he believes Is best
for the public good. He is IN communica-
tion with public men in all parts of the
country, and il is reasonable 10 suppose
that he is pretty correctly informed as TO
the views OF congressman on the silver
question If he were thoroughly satisfied
that congress would repeal the silver
purchase act without adopting some other
silver measuge that would be almost, if
not fully, as injurious 10 the interests Of
the country it is probable that he would
call an extra session of congress immedi-
ately.
Those who are insisting that congress
shall be called together at once can
hardly be as well informed as to what
congress would likely do as the President
is Ii is understood that he and his cabi-
net have definitely decided that it would
not be wise TO have an extra session be-
fore September No doubt they have
canvaSsed the whole situation thoroughly,
ana that they believe it would be a mis-
take TO have an extra session sooner.
The silver men are particularly active
Just now. The action of the council Of
India. closing the minis of that country to
free coinage, has greatly alarmed them.
They think if they do not get the rec
ognition for silver at the approaching
session of congress they claim for it the
chances are IL will be many long day
before silver will be restored to the place
in the currency Of this and other coun-
tries il has had so long. 1t is asserted that
they have opened headquarters washing
ton and are prepared with money to carry
on a vigorous campaignin behalf of silver in
the south and west. If this is true a vast
amount of misleading information about
silver will be scattered over the country.
The suspension of the free coinage of
silver in India has done, and will con-
tinue to do a great deal to enlighten the
people in respect to silver. They have
been told that India on a silver basis
was remarkably prosperous, and that her
people were better off than those of coun-
tries where gold is the basis of the cur
rency. They have suddenly been brought
face to face with the fact that India was
on the verge of financial ruin, and that
the closing of her mints to the free coin
age of silver had become an imperative
necessity
BY September the people will know
more about the silver question than they
do at present, and the arguments of the
Silverites will have less weight with them.

Good starter for die Hot Season.

A real, live, savage. untamed badger is now
staying at the melodious home of I. D. Coggin
at 1913 Morris avenue, of Bryant street, says
the San Francisco Call, Coggin is the we'll
known cornetist of the Golden Gate Band.
That animal has been prowling around the
house for weeks, dividing its time between
the chickens and the neighbors Twill a bad
ger climb roost after q chicken2 The neigh.

back to Coggins at night to hear him play,
Cogg1n'S fine ear, trained to discriminate
TO between all shades of sound
detected the presence of his unbidden audi
tor. He dropped his cornet and set a trap
The trap did it's work, Music loving badger
was nipped by his claws and then Mr. Coggin
after an exhaustive wreste with an improvised
rata and an iron ash Darrell, succeeded in
Darrehng his prey. 1Afterward 1t was an easy
matter to cOEtine his catch in cage Of stout
kitchen is now the center of attraction in the
ne1ghborhood. People call all day by scores
to stay and speculate on the sGrange animal.
1t is big badger and q pretty one It is a

side with white. A white streak runs from

"Anarchv oondoned.o


The announcement that all the Chicago an
archistS in the Illinois sta te prison have been
Internationally pardOned by Gov Altgeld is
well calculated to startle the public. Not less
extraordinary are the reasons given for this
action. These constitute n sweeping arraign-
ment of court, jury, prosecutors and police
for what Gov Altgeld considers an unwar-
ranted conviction of the anarchists. That
conviction he treats as a scandalous outrage
on Justice. 1t is strange that Gov, Altgeld who
has been in ONCE six months, has Just made
this amazing discovery. 1t is more remark
able that il was not made by any of his pred
ecessors during seven years, nor by either
the supreme court of Illinois or the supreme
court of the United States, both of which
at1irmed the conviction. Anarchy in this
country never receiveda more deadly blow
than when justice was melted out to the dia-
bolical bomb-thr0wers who terrified Chicago
some years ago. 1t is no time 70 silence the
warning then given to anarchists, now that
the cable almostsdaily brings news of anar-
chistic unrest IN various parts of Europe, and
we even read of a monument to anarchy Just
erected in Chicago.

Worlds Fair FINANCES.

According to Attorney General Olney
the appropriations made by congress for
worlds fair purposes are not affected by
the recent decision of the United States
court of appeals, authorizing the opening
of the fair on Sundays. There were other
appropriations beside the oneof souvenir
coins, and the attorney general believes
that the interests of the government in
the fair should not be preiudiced because
the intention of the government relative
to Sunday closing has not been respected.
1t would be great hardship-in fact an
act of injustice-if The appropriation of
100000 for bronze medals and diplo-
mas to be awarded to exhibitors
should be withheld The foreign exhibi-
tors placed their faith in the government,
and not in the managers of the fair, and it
is the duty of the government to see that
the medals and diplomas are provided as
promised.
The managers of the fair are more
hopeful of partial financial success than.
they were at the beginning of June. The
daily expenses are now about $4,000
and it is hoped they will soon be re-
duced to S16, OO0 The floating debt of the
fair is about 100000, and the outstand-
ing bonds amount to $4,000, 600 The total
sum the fair must pay to creditors is,
therefore, $G,5O0000. 1t is estimated that
admission fees from 1902, 600 persons daily
during the remaining days of the fair
would leave the fair free from debt.
Those figures do not, of course take
into account the 81 100000 the fair man
ayers have declared they would return to
the government, nor the money invested
by stockholders. 1t is question, how
ever, whether the average daily attend
ance will be as great as the managers an
ticipate. There will be many expenses
not now thought of, and there may be
leaks through which money will disappear.
The managers, therefore, are rather hasty
in putting out statements of the fairs
financial prospects that give an impress
sion that the fair will close without any
debts.

When the friends Of the Central desired
it's sale they had a plan for it's reor1aui-

great many OF its security holders
IL is understood that that plan has been
abandoned. There has been no official
announcement of its abandonment, but
The statement that il has been appears TO
beacccpted. The friends of the Central.
therefore, having got their decree OF sale
are not in a position 10 make the use Of il
they expected.
In his remarks from the bench yester
day Mir Justice jackson expressed the
hope that the security holders would
now get together and agree
upon some plan Of reorganization
that would render the sale Of the road
unnecessary Win they do itl That is

There ought not 10 be any great dini- /

and its earning capacity can be pretty .
clearly determined. Notwithstanding all |
that has been said that is hurtful to 1t and |
damaging to its credit it is q magnificent |
property, and fully capable of earning |
the fixed charges named in the Hollins |
reorganization plan.
1t is admitted that unless the property |
is recognized the junior security holders
will get absolutely nothing And mostof |
the junior security holders are either
people of very limited means or are
charitable institutions and estates.
1t is useless now to go over the history
of the Central for the last five years, or
to charge its ruin upon any one. 1t is suf-
ficient TO say that six years ago it was a
prosperous corporation with a bright
future Yesterday it was ordered to
be sold under the sheriff's hammer.
If the Central has any friends now is
the time for them to act. 1t can be re-
organized and saved by financiers who
have the confidence of the public The
Richmond Terminal that is in a far
much worse condition than the Central,
is being reorganized and will, in all proba-
bility, soon be on a sound financial basis.
1t would be remarkable indeed if a great
system like the Central should be per-
mitted to be broken up and sold out to
the highest bidder.

A Tramp's Bravery.

He could remember the time when he had
home, friends and influence, says the New
York Press. How are the mighty fallen"
"Once tramp, always a tramp" The two
quotations came to his mind. A noble desire
entered his heart to disprove the old adage.
The deed required the courage Of a lion His
comrades would frown upon him; the world
stand aghast and there would be the
end of it. 1t might show his desire
to be a better man, but it might
also lose him the few friends he
had among the nodding personages in the
seats underneath the trees in City Hall
park. Then he would be thrown upon the
world, a fatal outcast, and even tramp is So
ciable-even tramp enjoys the little CONVEX
stations with his seatmates when business is
dull and the sun is boiling hot.
He stood with hat of weighing in his mind
the arguments on either side. Slowly, but
surely the evidence in favor of the innovation
was making its impression.
Yes, he would do 1t. Let the tramps soon.
Who had ever accomplished anything great
without opposition? He would do his work
thoroughly. When he had done no one should
know the old Scriggser. With q desperate re-
solve, and casting one glance at his compan-
ions-he dashed his head in the water OF the
fountain and washed his face

Why is it not reasonable to suppose
that the Banks county preacher, who
was running three churches and moon
shine distillery, was only celebrating the
Rev DIR. Rainsford's plan of salvation?
DIR. Rainsford wished the church to take
charge of whisky saloons and make them
feeders to itself; why should not the Rev.
Mr. Barrett go little further and have
the church make the whisky as well as
dispense it2 1t may be that the best way
to draw congregation in Banks county
is to let it be known that the path from
the church door to the distillery is plain
ly blazed, and that barrel of sour mash,
