NEED AN EXTRA SESSION.

From the Washington Post.
Just what is to be done with the income
tax law has developed into a serious and
perplexing question. The supreme court
has already cut off fully half of the reve-
nue. that was expected from the tax, and 1t
has left under suspicion and open to chal-
lenge all the rest of 1t. One might say,
indeed, without the least exaggeration,
that the action of the court has actually
invited resistance and antagonism that 1t
has suggested proceedings on the part of
the taxpayers that will indefinitely delay,
If 1t docs not wholly prevent, the pay
ment of more than the most insignificant
fraction of the sum upon which the treas
ury officials have been counting. The $780,
900 900 of public revenue estimated as re-
suit of the operation. of the law will, there
fore, be reduced to practically nothing.
while the expense of the machinery Of
government will continue. and to this must
be added the enormous cost of the litiga-
ton that will soon spring up in every city,
town, village, hamlet and country neigh
borhood within the Union. Instead of be-
ing q source of revenue, the law will be an
agent of depletion. 1t will yield nothing
but q deficit. The budget will be short by
the sSO,O00,O00 estimated, plus the other
millions that will be required to maintain
the official establishment and to meet the
expense of litigation. Really. 1t seems to
us that II ever there was situation justi-
flying an extra session of congress, We
have it confronting us at this moment.

THAT SILVER DEBATE.

There Is a deal of quiet exultation IN
the Manufacturers editorial reference to
what it calls Hon. Charles Emory Smith 5
eloquent plea for silver" Some Ameri-
can bimetallists," it says, will probably
incline to become indignant at finding q
brilliant public man adverse to them, and
who has indeed criticized them with great
severity, now standing behind their own
breast-works and still alluding to them as
enemies of the public peace. When men
who have been until lately widely at odds
are at last enlisted in n common cause, 1t
would seem to be time TO stop shaking fists
at one another. But, while the bimetal-
lists may have a right to feel angry that
one recently antagonistic to them persists
in representing them, now that he is upon
their side, as dangerous men, they cannot
fail to admire the strategy with which
this shift of position has been conducted,
nor should they neglect to rejoice that the
good cause has acquired so valuable a
champion. There is not q gold standard
man in the United States who will read
Mr.. Smiths splendid rhetoric without
gnashing of teeth. All men of that class
know that heavy loss has come to their
cause when so gifted a writer and orator
commits himself outright to the principle
of bimetallism. And, while discourage
ment must befall among the gold mono
metallists, what can there be but high
encouragement among bimetallists upon
perception that public opinion favorable
to the restoration of silver has become at
last so forceful as to produce this result?
Three years ago there was little else than
obloquy for the man who dared even to
suggest that the gold standard was not the
best and only honest method of measuring
values. Tremendous has been the growth
of popular sentiment which irresistibly
forces able antagonists of the silver move
ment TO coincide with It; and immense
the gain which turns resistance into help

Too Many Bosses.

A Pittsburg paper quotes one Will

A Declaration of Dependence.

Every argument made by Charles
Emory Smith at Harrisburg Wednes-
day night against silver monometall-
ism becomes, by inversion, an equally
powerful argument against the anti
thetical extreme of gold monometall-
ism, which Mr.. Smith champions. in
effect If not in name. Mr.. Smith had a
good deal to say about "honest" and
dishonest money. But somehow he
forgot to reply to Mr.. Clarks pertinent
questions: rs it honest money that
grows more valuable day by day? Is it
honest money that records a debt Of ten
bushels of wheat and compels payment
OF twenty bushels? Is it honest money
that makes our national debt far
larger, in terms of wheat or cotton,
than it was originally, and that after
more than half the debt, in terms of
dollars, has been paid?" 1t would have
been well had Mr.. Smith also said
something touching Mr.. Clark's remark
that 1--WE have no 5O-cent silver dollars,
but we have gold dollar worth about
$1.35." He talked too much about sill
yer monometallism. which scarcely
anybody of consequence seriously be-
lieves in. He omitted to talk sufficient
ly about honest bimctallsm, to which
the Republican party is frankly pledged.

When gold and silver were used as
money upon parity, forming together
one standard of values, they formed
mutually a fair record of obligation"
because the market value of both
metals remained relatively stable. But
when silver was struck down, gold flew
up like rocket, and debts contracted

The Case of Rev. ]. c. Hogan.

The Wyoming conference will no
doubt administer to Rev. j. C. Hogan,
of Forest City, adequate reproof for
his attack, made last Friday night,
upon his immediate superior, Presid-
ing Elder w. l.. Thorpe. The attack,
as currently reported in the secular
press, was of a character not to- be
lightly brushed aside. The assailant's
remark that the flight for prohibition
cannot be stopped should not blind the
conference to its duty to stop, or at
least check, the tongue of ministerial
member who is in the habit of utter
ing about those who differ from him in
opinion language which, if used by one
layman to another, would probably
in nine cases out of ten, be answered
with a blow.
1t is charitable to suppose that Rev.
Mr.. Hogan is in part the victim of a
disposition which renders him at times
morally unaccountable for his words
The language which he habitually
uses concerning those who do not oc-
cupy his point of mental view, while 1t
is often eXasperating by reason of the
character of the office of him who ut
ters it, is by this time, fortunately so
well understood in this community as to
be effectually discounted. We do not be-
lieve that any man, least of all fell
low clergyman so favorably known
as is Rev. Mr.. Thorpe, will be thought
less of by reason of anything which
may be said about him by the reverend
gentleman from Forest City.
But in justice to itself and to the
character of the ministerial office, the
conference now in session in Carbon
dale should, it seems to us, stamp with
the seal of it's disapproval the language
employed by Rev. Mr.. Hogan on
Friday evening; require him to make
public apology or, upon his refusal to
do that, divest him of the functions
of a minister of that gospel which
teaches that among the virtues temper
ance OF tongue is not less important
than temperance of other kinds.

Also object to trolley Murder.

From a Press Dispatch.
Z Brooklyn, April 11.-All South Brooklyn
went to mass meeting at Prospect hall
last night to devise means for stopping
trolley murders. The resolutions adopted
charged the corporation with using ques-

take effective steps to stop the slaughter;
declared that the speed of the trolleys
should be limited to six miles an hour In

givers ought to be notified to betake
themselves from the vicinity of the
capital during legislative sessions, and
to remain away, under penalty of seiz-
ure, disfranchisement and imprison-
ment at hard labor. There are entirely
too many self-appointed "bosses" en-
gagged these days in the task of trying
to legislate for the American people.

Safety tenders on trolley cars would
probably earn back their cost by seal
ing down damage verdicts. But even
IL they should not do that they would
nevertheless be a cheap investment;
and the public demands them.

appreciation of gold very soon grew per-
