Rising to the Emerge ncy.

The promptness with which the popu.
lar branch Of congress, under the direc-
tion of Speaker Reed, has, at the ex-
pense of it's own convenience, prepared
q policy Of action in response to the
presidents special request for finan-
cial relief will prove deeply gratifying
to the whole country, which had begun
to fear that the present speaker had
succumbed to the dangerous theory Of
congressional inactivity. The pro-
gramme which the Republican leaders
Of the house have now in mind is to
lions more revenue by some amend
ments Of the tariff not involving gen.
eral tariff revision, these amendments
to expire at the end of thirty months,
and to give the secretary of the treas
ury authority to issue a three per cent
bond as q popular loan to maintain the
coin redemption fund, and for no other
purpose, with a proviso that the re-
deemed greenbacks shall not be used to
meet current expenses, but be retained
so long as necessary as part of the re-
demption fund: to authorize national
banks to issue circulating notes to the
par Of the bonds deposited as security
and reduce the tax on national bank
circulation; and to authorize the issue
Of certificates of indebtedness to meet
a temporary deficiency Of the revenue
until more revenue can be provided.
1t is possible that this conservative
but comprehensive policy will sustain
defeat in the senate, where there is an
obstinate majority Of free silverites
committed to pressing of their favor
ite theory in and out of season. But
such probability ought not to deter
the house itself from doing its manifest
ing the above ground and that measure
shall afterwards meets its death in the
senate, the people will know where to
place the responsibility; and II still in
their present mood will be likely to do
SO with vengeance. But failure to act
ON the houses part, albeit due to the
known attitude Of the senate. would be
liable to popular misconstruction. and
for this reason it would be imprudent.
Now that the house has formally Or
ganized itself through the speakers ap-
pointment Of strong committees, and
has, in view of the gravity Of pending
questions. decided to forego its accus-
toned holiday recess, steady progress
will be expected in the direction Of

Ulterior consequences.

One Of the very probable consequent
ces Of the recent diplomatic correspond
ence concerning the Monroe doctrine is
the formation Of a pan-American politi-
cal alliance. Overtures to such an end
have, it Is said, already been made.
1.-THE proposal under consideration,
writes Walter Wellman in one of his
Incompatible Washington letters to the
Chicago Times Herald, "is the forma-
tion of q pan-American arbitration
board, to sit permanently and have cog
nizance of all boundary and other dis
putes arising between the republics of
this hemisphere. 1t is believed actual
developments in this direction will come
in few days. The plan under consid-
Grafton Is for the assembling in WASH
ington of an international congress to
arrange the details. 1t is well under
stood that this arrangement, If perfect
ed, means much more than a mere
method of settling boundary and other
disputes. It's true significance is an al
lance for political purposes between
all the Republican states of the hemi-
sphere, under the leadership of this
country. In this way the Monroe doc
trine is already bearing fruit. The
weaker American powers in whose de-
Tense secondarily, because In our de-
fense primarily, we have issued a note
Of defiance to Great Britain, are at this
unexpectedly early date preparing to
cluster themselves about the chief
American power"
This, however, is not all. Mr.. Well
man learns from various members of the
Washington diplomatic corps that there
is a strong feeling among all the Cen
trail and South American republics in
favor of improving this opportunity to
revive reciprocity agreements with the

The refusal of the board of pardons
to recommend the pardoning Of the
defaulting treasurer Bardsley. of Phila-
delphia, is heartily commended by the
press throughout the state. Bardsley
deserves the punishment meted out
to him. but 1t is not likely he will be
required to serve out the full term of
fifteen years to which he was sentenced
and Of which he has now served only
four years. Persistent effort will secure
his release some time.

City Primaries and Convention.

The action of the Republican city
committee in calling the spring pri-
maries for Jan. and the convention for
Jan. will prove generally satisfactory.
BY ore week from next Saturday the
holiday festivities and cares will have
passed into history and there will have
been three whole days for uninterrupt-
ed buttonholing-a period which will no
doubt be thoroughly improved.
AS to the outcome of these primaries,
The Tribune sees no reason to modify
its previous prophecy. 1t will support
the nominees of the Republican ci,y
convention, whichever ticket wins: but
1t has no apprehension that the oppo-
sition to Messrs. Ripple, Williams and
Widmayer will elect more than a small
fraction of the delegates who will make
up that convention.
