AN IMPORTANT DAY.

1t is August z, a day which fnsnciers
and all those who have been for months
changing on by the gills" have eagerly
longed to see. And they are as eagerly
hoping that when congress begins work II
will work quickly. With the exception of
the silver lunstics. who get crszier than
ever ~ the time of their crushing defeat
draws nigh. there is hearty unanimity
about the first thing to be done toward the
restoration of confidence. There need be
and should be no delay in the repeal of
the silver-buying law. 1t could be done
this week and should be. That would be
q good start. Time enough could then be
taken without danger for the preparation
of further remedial measures.
People are somewhat afraid that instead
of acting promptly congress will begin to
fight promptly and that there will be long
delay. In the present condition of things
1t would be wicked for the members of
congress to put partisanship or personal
advantage before the good of the country,
and it is to be hoped that none of them
will do it. The special session was called
for a special purpose. 1t should fulfill its
mission as soon as possible and not by de-
lay to act or by wrong action put the final
scare upon a country which is already
nearly scared to death.
