The President Speaks.

MIR. CLEVELAND assures the Assooiat-
ed Press that he will not call an extra
session OF Congress earlier than the
1st Of September nor later that the
10th, unless some emergency should
arise before thento make such a call
advisable.
In this we think the President has
taken the sensible course and he has
taken the course which the Courier
journal several months ago suggested
would probably be taken.
In giving out this announcement
the President accompanies it with
some words of advice to the public
which are in every way timely and ex-
cellent. His counsel to business men
that they shall do their part to dis
credit foolish fears and maintain con.
Adence in the financial resources o
the Government and the country il

oarileld,s Pension views.

In 1898, in a speech in the House Of
Representatives, Gen. Garfield said
that the pension expenditures, which
we're then less than S30,00O00O per
annum, were swollen beyond all
account" and that "more frauds are
being perpetrated on the Government
by claim agentsin different portions
Of the cou ntry than from almost any
other single source If Ger. Garfield
were alive to day and repeata such
views he would be denounced as a
yellow dog by the Republican organs
which assume that the G. O. P has
