President CleyeAand's announcement
that he will call an extra session Of
Congress between the LIST and 18th OF
September is the only information he
gives an anxious people OF his inten-
ton to deal with the serious difficult
ties OF the present business and fnan-
cial situation. The urgent necessities
of the country, the growing loss Of
confidence everywhere, the failures,
the breaking Of banks, the closing Of
mills and factories have. finally put
this mountain OF flesh in labor, and a.
y result we have the ous Of an extra
session in September. The whole cou
try Is in trouble. II the Democrats can
save it as they promised, why wait
three months more, during which time
the evil must necessarily Increase?
But there Is o good reason why
Grover Cleveland has not called an ex-
ira session earlier-why, indeed, he did
not call n right away last March.
This reason Is apparent In his mani
festo, in which he urges the people to
to think about the continual pur-
chase Of silver. Mr.. Cleveland
herein betrays his fear that Con-
gress, II called together now, would
not repeal the Sherman act, and
he also betrays his ignorance in evil
IDENTITY believing that the repeal OF this
act will restore public. confidence. The
contraction OF credits, caused by the
knowledge that the Democratic party
was pledged to destroy the tariff, Is the
true cause that the business OF the
country Is on the verge OF collapse.
70 this was added the growing convic-
ton that the President had neither the
power nor the ability to meet the issue.
It was seen that he had adopted the
policy OF evasion, that he dared not
sall an extra session Of Congress till
general disaster stared him in the face.
It was seen that he was not unwilling

In the woman's congress there was
much talk OF the bloomer and divided
SKIRT. 1t Is likely to amount to just
nothing at all. II 1t were possible to
make the bloomer and the divided skirt

no trouble. There lie no fashion in

but 1t must really be the fashion. Its

is not q reformer, nor will she even con-
slider her health. Making the bloomer

Ths same OLD Party.

The denomination OF Governor WILL

Ohio has aroused q c0mmotion among
Democratic and deputy Democratic
newspapers. Prominent among the
agiSated ones is the Providence Journal,

cry shrieks In hysterical tones that the

The excited Providence Journal Is
right in its conclusion. The Republic

United States in the van Of human

dustrially independent and that the
working man might receive wages
sufficient to enable him to rear his fam
lily in intelligence and comfort; it has
insisted on maintaining every form OF
United States currency at its full value;
1t has advocated liberal pensions to the
men who endured wounds and hard
ships and faced death for the caus OF

Probation the Guidiur sta..

In deriding the splendid and success
full system Of protection, the Demo-
cratic quacks now in power are showing
contempt for n Of the foundation
principles Of our government a. ex-
pressed by the second enactment placed
on the statute book Of the United
States, affirming both the principle and
policy Of protective duties, which af-
frmatiOn was sealed by the unanimous
vote OF the Senate, and by q majority
OF more than five to one In the House
of Representatives. This act received
the approval OF President Washington

To these principles the Republican
party will consistently adhere, not be.

l. and finally that he was prepared to
issue more legal tender notes for the
purchase Of gold.
These are the reasons why public
confidence has been destroyed, and not
because of the continued purchase OF
silver and the shipment Of . few mill
ions Of gold abroad. The people see
that the President cannot control his
party. In times OF prosperity Mr..
Cleveland's platitudes were swallowed
by the ignorant and the gullible. To
iay, when we are face to face with a
serious crisis, they can only excite con-
tempt.
The signs multiply that many sincere
Democrats, ri well as many Of the inde-
pendents and mugwumps who voted for
Cleveland, are beginning to weaken as
they see for themselves the disastrous
results of the Democratic policy, or
rather lack OF any policy. Grover
Cleveland was not elected by the
Democrats, but by the mugwumps
and Republicans, or rather by men
who are generally inclined to Repub-
lican principles but believed last year
that q change would be q good thing.

Down Mount Hsmaiton ct Night.

It was late when We left the building

dark that l determined to ride down ~

the summit is In ell probability the
finest cut road In the world. but it IL
steep. atounds In short turns and ter
rltic p~recipices. and is not o road one
would select to &C down at full speed.
Yet when the four-in-hand turned down
into the road. the driver mashed his hat
firmly on his head. and brought q crack
from his whip like the report OF q re-
volver, at which the horses sprang for
ward In o mad gsllop. Crask came the
whip again, and with . terrific sway the
heavy coach swung round the curve and
went tearing down the road, while ftful
shrieks began to come from the lin
sides.' Trees. spectral trunks, great
oaks and sycamores flew by, clouds OF
dust rose and hid the landscape so that
tho horses seemed rushing into a fog
bank. over bridges We went, the thun-
der of hoofs rising in the night with a
weird and forbidding sound. The pace
kept increasing; the horses were at q
dead run. sweeping round curves with q
frightful swing, now coming up under
the brake with . terrific crash. then
tearing madly OF In the wild race for tho
lights OF Smiths away below in the
gloom. Great trees with long branch
ing arms reached out, seeming to inter-
cept the road. Gulfs Of gloom opened
up suddenly, % the coach dashed alound
the curves. Spectral sycamores stood
white and distinct. where on every side
masses Of verdure made the night more
impenetrable-a black guilt oil about,
down which they seemed scurrying.
On plunged the coach-horses and driver
seemingly gone mad-until finally, at
ter pivoting around In . remarkable
manner, We rushed away In . cloud Of
dust over the little bridge into the
blending and welcome light Of Smiths
