said lie, SIS regarded 10y the President as
being serious He feels about as he did
when Congress was called together to re-
peal the Sherman law. President Cleve-
land is convinced that some currency leg
islation is necessary. He is no: insisting
that his party in Congress shall pass the
| Carlisle bill. bat he believes the Demo-
cratic leaders could use ii rs foundation

financial reform bill. The President

plenish it. With the means now at their
disposal it lCohsss if the Wall street peo-
pie could force bond issue every thirty
days if they chose to do SO. For this
reason the President feels that il would
be folly for this Congress IL adjourn with
out giving some measure o. relief.
The prospect of running the treasury
| from now until the new Congress meets
and selling bonds periodically to main
tain the redemption fund does not strike
either the President or Secretary Carlisle
as encouraging to the peace or prosperity
| of the country. Mr.. Cleveland has hopes
that his own party in Congress will show
n willingness and the ability TO deal with
the problem, but if it adjourns without
doing so there is every reason TO suppose
Mr.. Cleveland will appeal to the new Re
publican Congress TO come together ut
once and afford the remedy"
"An extra session."
Yes, that's what it means Perhaps
the suggestion of such a thing may serve
u stiffen the backbone of the Democrats
in Congress and stimulate them to pass n
bill. But it is plain from the tone OF Con-
gresham I.ryans speech that the free
coinage men in Congress are unwilling TO
accept anything short of free and un-
| limited silver coinage. They might agree
on compromise authorizing the Secretary
Of the Trea sury to redeem paper money
in silver, but President Cleveland will
never consent TO such step.
The Senatorial Outlook.
| The several Senators who are candi-
| dates for reelection have gone home with
more or less anxiety in their minds, and
| THE most OF them are not expected to re-
turn until the Legislatures OF their States
| have determined their fate. Senator Gull
