AN EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS

AN EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.
There is talk of calling an extra session
of Congress to deal with the financial
problem. But it admits of grave doubt
whether such session would do more
of good or harm. While it is not def
nitely known how the members of the
House Of the Fifty-third Congress stand
on the silver question, there is good rea-
son to fear that the majority of them
would not consent to the repeal of the
Sherman silver act except on condition
that a free coinage act or something
closely approaching it should take its
place. Certainly such Legislation as that
would not help the present situation,
but by destroying public confidence in
the great financial centres, would
make matters worse. If Congress
could be called together and re-
stricted to the passing of an act
authorizing the secretary to issue
per cent bonds an extra session might
be advisable. But no such restriction
can be put upon them, and there is
great danger that were Congress let
loose upon the country at this time the
silver fanatics would get an opportunity
to strike another blow at the bankers
and the gold bugs, with the result of
precipitating something like panic.

and many boy who could have won
competency and independence in the
ranks of skilled labor has pettifogged
his way through life in some of the pro-
fessions. 1t is high time that our public
school system was broadened so as to
train the hand and the eye as well as the
brain, and it is to be hoped that the
financial condition of the city will per-
NIT the carrying into effect of Mr.. Bax-
ter's Recommendation in the very near
future.
The Mayors recommendation for an
appropriation for the High School will
meet general approval The expense of
reconstructing the High School building
bids fair to be heavy, but it is imperative
and must be met.
What the Mayor has to say
in regard to the liquor agency
must meet with public approval.
To use this institution for any
other purpose than to supply liquor for
medicinal and mechanical purposes is a
clear infraction of the law, and to assume
that the people approve of such use is to
assume that they approve of disregarding
the statutes of the State. Doubtless
there is a temptation at this time, when
we are on the eve of heavy exp enditures,
to run the agency for profit, but the So
Der second thought must convince the
gentlemen who are in charge of it
that to yield to this temptation would
be an affront to the moral sense of the
community and an outrage on public de-
cency. Other recommendations given
prominent place in the address are the
consolidation of the engineer and street
departments, the limitation of the po-
liceman's term to four years, and the
reference of the controversy with the
water company over the legality of the
contract with the city to the Supreme
court The movement for cheaper gas
receives endorsement, and he be-
| lieves that a reduction will be brought
about without much difficulty.
The tone of the address is admirable.
Though elected by party, Mayor Baxter
fully realizes that his obligation is to the
whole people, and expresses his purpose
to administer public affairs on that basis,
and calls for the cordial cooperation OF
the city council to accomplish that end
Unusual difficulties must be sur.
mounted in the coming year. Elk
traordinary demands for money must be
met. The problem before the admins
tration is perplexing one, and requires
for its successful solution the cordial
cooperation of every memberof the city

MAYOR BAxTEK's ADDRESS.

Mayor Baxter's inaugural address will
be read with pleasure and profit, for it
discloses a broad and thorough
knowledge of the city's needs
and makes many valuable and
practical suggestions as to the
best way of meeting them. The finances
first claim attention. The city debt is
now about So, 800, 900, reduction since
1877 of over three million which is, as Mr..
Baxter remarks, very remarkable and
creditable showing. Mr.. Baxter renews
the recommendation Of Mayor True that
the city's available assets be trans
ferred to the sinking fund account,
which will reduce the net debt
to a figure that will enable us to
borrow money and ion favorable terms.
The wisdom of this course is so obvious
that their should bs no delay lin carrying
it into effect. One of Mr.. Baxter's most
valuable recommendations is his ssugges-
ton for the establishment of school for
industrial training, and his great interest
in the subject is shown by his generous
offer to turn over his salary to the school
board for that purpose. Such schools
have met with great success in number
of the large cities of the country. There
can be little room for doubt that our
educational system has neglected manual
training to altogether too great an ex-
tent. The great majority of men must
necessarily be workers with their hands.
guided of course by well developed and
well stored brains. While we have
sought to store and develop the latter we
have neglected too much the training
which alone can develop manual dexteri-
ty. The result has been that our schools
have been constantly adding to the al
ready over crowded ranks of the pro-
fessions. Manual labor has'been degrad-
ed when it should have been ennobled.

THE PRESS.
TUEDAY, APRIL Is.

The Press arrives at the conclusion that the
municipal affairs of Portland have been best
managed when they have been run on strict
party flEsss.-Argus.
Oh, no, esteemed contemporary. the
Press las neither arrived at ros ex pressed
any such conclusion. The conclusion
that the PRESS arrived at was simply that
the presence of politics in our municipal
contests had not imposed, as far as we
had been able to discover, any burdens
upon the people; that the practice of
dividing along national party lines in
municipal contests, absurd though it be
theoretically, has worked no serious
harm to the commonwealth. We point
ed out also that our most serious tax
burdens were imposed not by political
but by business schemes in which both
parties were interested.

the goth, 1892. I wish to say to those
who may want a machine, that the
high arm Alliance machine is all right
in every respect, for 1 have owned
three in my time, and a say that the
High Arm Alliance machine is the best
I ever had. One of the machines cost
me about $43. SO, and the Alliance ma
chine is far superior to that. My wife
is well pleased with it, it does it's work
well as ever I saw any machine, I can
not recommend it too highly for it
pleases well every way, it is light run
ming as can be.
1 do this for the benefit of those who
want a machine. l have mine for
inspection for those who may want to
see one. I will say further that the
shipped ome all right &C
cording to order freight paid.
remain ever yours,

TAKE NOTICE.

The brethren will please bear in mind
that in my official capacity a State
Business Agent, l am acting directly
under the instruction of the State
Executive Committee. Their instruc-
tions are that l shall "fll orders only
when cash to the full amount of the
bill accompanies each order, except in
cases of County and Sub-Busine5s
Agents who have filed in my Office a
Justified legal bond for double the
amount expected to be due at any one
time, in which latter case thirty days
from date of bill will be allowed in
which to make remittance for same.
Now it frequently happens that some
good brother, not being informed as to
this ruling of the Executive Commit
tee, will ask us to ship goods and he
will pay for same on receipt Of bill, "
or when goods arrive"
Sometimes we + asked to ship 90.
O. d." OF with sight draft bill lading
attached" We do not like to be placed
in the attitude of refusing, but in either
of. the above cases we are compelled to
do so. We have had a little experience
in shipping collect" and in nearly
every case it has been unpleasant and
unsatisfactory, some times goods lying
at their destination for weeks before
proper collection and remittance is
made, thus causing dissatisfaction all
around. We feel sure that any brother
who will give this matter a moments
thought will not ask us to violate a
standing rule of the Alliance. You
will see also that it is better to have a
uniform plan for everybody.
1t is always preferable to have your
orders come through your regular
bonded Business Agent, but if you wish
to send them direct, please accompany
each order with cash sufficient to cover
the bill. Any balance VIII be placed
to your credit, or returned to you as
you may direct.

BRETHREN WHO HAVE BONDS
TAKE NOTICE.

The recent failures of banks and the
unsettled condition of the money mar
ket, has greatly disturbed the com
mercial world.
The inability to obtain loans, on the
best of securities has compelled us to
decline to fill any orders unless accom-
panied by cash. All the Agents who
have bonds at this office will please
take notice of the recent action Of the
Executive Committee instructing us
to hold all orders unless accompanied
with a remittance sufficient to cover
the same.
We are very sorry that such action
had to be taken, but the credit of the
Agency must be sustained so we can
get the lowest prices for the brethren,
and serve them to the best advantage.

Business Agents would save time
and trouble if they would use printed
stationery. It costs very little more
than that they now use, and is much
more convenient. Letters occasionally
come to us without being signed, some
times they contain money, and we are
put to some inconvenience to find. out
the sender. Printed stationery saves
all this trouble. We are now prepared
to send you, postpaid,
100 sheets of note paper, padded,
with name and number of your ALI
auce and name Of Business Agent or
