THE CONGRESSIONAL CALL.
Comments of Republicans Papers on the
Extra Session


Extra Session
This will give renewed confidence to
business. provided business men can
muster up confidence in democratic
congress. Hawkeye.
The president does not recognize suf-
ficiently the fact that the threat to rev.
olutionize our tariff policy has as much
to do with the present depression as the
silver crisis.-Louisville Commercial
We presume it may be taken for
granted that the repeal of the silver
purchase law will be the first thing in
order. and trust that it will be accom-
plished very shortly after the session
opens-N. Y. Tribune.
In defending honest dollars the re-
publicans will render an incalculable
service to the nation The republican
minority in the house and senate is the
only firm bulwark against democratic
demagogy and fanaticism- MY. Press
So certain is it that congress will
make quick work of the Sherman law
as soon as it can be got at, that the
converting of that body on August Z
will doubtless be accepted by the coun-
try as equivalent to its repeal.-St
Paul Pioneer Press
The extra session will, possibly.
have one good effect Many people
think the country needs something
to help it in its present time OF I'M
certainty, and this something has
come in the shape of an extra session.
Kansas City journal.
II the democratic congress would
follow the repeal of the silver purchase
act with a resolution declaring that no
radical change will be made in the
tariff. the confidence which the demo
cratic policy has sacrificed would
gradually return. -Indianapolis Jour
nal.
When congress gets together, and
takes a careful and broad survey
of the whole financial situation, it is
likely to drop some of its crude and
cranky notions on monetary questions,
and get itself into the mood to legislate
wisely in this crisis.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
In calling congress together August
Z the president has but yielded to
popular demand. and it is probable that
congress will yield to that popular de-
mand by repeating the silver purchase
law in the hope that it will. in some
measure. restore Observation-Disclosures
oils Journal.
There will be the usual effort OF
dsmagogues to shape legislation to suit
selfish interests: but it is devoutly to
be hoped that in the present grave
financial situation enough good men
and true NAV be found to do just what
is needed to be done and prevent any
rash or foolish legislation-any expert
ments IN monetary legislation.-Toledc
Blade.
Upon the democratic party is now
placed the burden of the greatest re
sponsibility that has confronted parti
sans for many sessions of congress II
is possible that it may rise to the occa
sion and give the country relief by
wise and timely legislation, in spite OF
the records of the party for doing the
wrong thing at the right time.-Cin
einnati Tribune.
The call of President Cleveland fol
an extra session is not as satisfactory
as it might be. 1t is intensely partisan
II throws blame on shoulders where
blame does not of right rest II ''un
wise laws are on the statute book:
they were not written in them by
party vote. Democrats are as much re
sponsible for those blurs and blots OF
our legislation as are republicans-N
Y. Recorder.
