WASHINGTON, May II, 1899.
An extra session OF Congress will be
called early in the fall. if public opin-
ion does not object sufficiently to
brighten Mr.. Mckinley out of issuing
the call. That is the only reason it
has not been officially announced. 1t
has been decided upon, but Mr.. Nc
Kinley wished to appear to follow a
public demand, 80 the announcement
was deferred until his friends, who are
now talking extra session in every di.
rection, could try to work up the pub.
lie demand.
Ex-senator Quay is using the
Speakership contest TO make votes for
his admission to the Senate ON the
appointment of the Governor of Penn
sylvania. That is why the Pennsyl-
vanis delegation is unpledged, and
why there is talk of putting up q
dummy Pennsylvania candidate for
Speaker, who the delegation can pre-
tend to support until Quay orders
them to vote for one of the other cam
didates.
Senator Stewart was asked whether
he favored an extra session of Con-
gress in September. "No, certainly
not" he replied; nothing would be
gained by it that would be useful. 1t
would simply mean three or four
months OF talk before they got down
to business, instead of three or four
weeks, which invariably follows the
assembling of the first session of q
new Congress"
Great efforts are being made to have
the Navy Department join in trying
to persuade Admiral Dewey to come
home by way of San Francisco, instead
of by way Of New York. A railway
company has offered to furnish him
without cost the finest special train
that ever crossed the continent, to
bring him from San Francisco to
Washington. The Republican politi-
clans are not disposed to help along
this idea at all. They are afraid of
Dewey as it is, and they don't know
what might happen if he Was made
the hero Of series of popular ovations
in every town between San Francisco
and Washington. They would much
prefer his coming to New York, trust
ing the rest to his modesty.
Representative Payne, of New York,
seems likely to fare badly in the
Spsakership fight. Senator Plat has
promised to force him to withdraw a.
a candidate for Speaker, in favor Of
Sherman, and it is understood that
Henderson and Hopkins. the two lead
ing Western candidates, have made a
deal whereby their strength will be
combined to nominate the strongest
of the two, and the one who fails to
get the Speakership shall be made

A LATE dispatch announces that
President Mckinley will cross the con.
tinent and be in the west to receive
the volunteers who have done such
heroic service in the Philippines, on
their return home. The graciousness
of the act might pass unchallenged
were it not that 90 many moves of the
executive show 80 plainly that they
are intended solely to court popular
ity, merely to create political capital
and advance his prospects for the
Presidential succession. His trip to
the South, and the tears he shed over
the Southern dead of the civil war, his
advocacy of pensions for Southern
veterans and their admission to the
Soldiers Homes, were palpable and
fragrant bids for partisan support from
the hitherto "solid South" His
" swing around the circle" afterwards
and his present intention OF bestow-
ing a paternal Presidential benediction
upon the soldiers seem to be just so
many links in a chain of events in.
tended to bind political opponents to
support of principles for which they
have no sympathy, through subterfuge
and deceit. If this be true, it justifes
the closest scrutiny of such acts as
seem to be directed by partisanship
more than patriotism.

If anything more brutal than the
burning and cutting up of the negro in
Georgia, ever occurred in this country,
we have no record of it.-Puyallup hide
pendent.
Oh, yes you have; in that good Re-
publican State, New York. 1t was
only last month that a mob of 200
people at Tallman put rope around
the negro Bradley's neck (simply for
theft, bear in mind) dragged him to q
tree and hauled him up; at intervals
lowering him to the ground to extort
confession. He was finally strung
up for keeps" but was cut down by
his wife and with difficulty resusci-
tated. The fuel had been gathered
to burn the negro but the plan was af-
forwards changed to hanging, and
that probably resulted in finally saw.
ing his life. The intent, however, was
as clearly defined as that manifested
by the Georgia desperadoes, and it
was not for crime against woman
hood either.

THERE is some consolation to be
drawn from the announcement that

"Undying Fame"

A writer in the 8. F. Examiner Of
the 7th, propounds the query Has
Dewey Won Undying Fame?" and
then proceeds to define the term to
mean a celebrity that will forever
make Dewey's name household word
and keep his achievements at the end
of everybody's tongue, as his fame goes
ringing down the corridors of time"
to all eternity. 1t is evident that if
these exactions are essential to Gun
dying fame" Dewey, nor anybody who
ever lived, nor anybody who may ever
live, will be able to fill that exalted
Mich in the temple of Fame.
The writer OF the article has grave
doubts that the name of Dewey 200
years from now will be any more
known than the name of the hero
who won the naval battle of La Hogue,
or rather heros, for both Admirals Sir
Edward Russell and Sir George Rookie
won "undying fame" from their de.
feat of the French fleet in one of the
most memorable engagements of naval
history. Are either OF these names
household words, or on everybody's
tongueG Can the majority of the pu-
pills, fresh from historic study, state
the particulars of that engagement
without a reference to the printed
page to fix date, names and incidents
of the contest?
The writer in the Examiner seems
to think that Admiral Dewey did
nothing, or said nothing that would
contribute to the undying quality OF
the fame he has achieved. Such ex-
pressions as "Don't give up the ship"
of a Lawrence, and "a little more
grape, Capt. Bragg," a battle-cry at
Buena Vista, serve to fix the memory
on historic events as no commonplace
expression, such as "You may open
fire when you are ready, Mr.. Gridley,"
can do. There is want of precision
and conciseness in Dewey's utterance
that renders it weak peg upon which
to hang the mantle OF undying fame"
But, as the essayist concludes, what.
ever the doubt about Dewey's name
being familarly on the tongues OF the
men of 1900, he has nobly won his
present glory, and it may be said of
him with the same full truth as of
Raleigh, that "Though God may have
made nobler heroes, he never made a
finer gentleman"

EVEN in the matter of adulation the
trusts rule. They could secure Dewey
for "high jinks," at 500 per plate,
while the plebeian clam-chowder was
left to cool on the sideboard. While
the Admiral was magnanimously al
lowed by the Naval Department to
select his own route of return home,
there was an obvious infection in the
official utterance which indicated that
the great eastern metropolis should be
the objective point of the Admiral.

AN English magazine has named
"the twelve good women of the CEN

women. The Oregonian comments

all lands. The good women are the
salt OF the earth, and they abound in
every nation and every tribe. The
bad women are in the decided minor

AND now it is proposed to raise
funds for the purchase of a palatial

SENATOR Yeend, of Walla WalIa, was
in town yesterday. In a burst of con-
fidence Senator Yeend said that Walla
Walla county would send q solid Re-
publican delegation to the Legislature at
the next session.-O,ympian.
Indeed! How fortunate it is that
the Republican party has prophets
like the man at the end of the alpha
bet, who can make such confident pre-
dictions so long before an event may
occur. But then, it was not predic-
ton; it was q "burst of confidence"
which involves a presumption that the
Walla Walla statesman carries the
political destiny of his county in his
vest pocket.

IT is thought that the schooner
Loyal, which carried a party north
under guidance of convict Stevens,
who was pardoned from the penitenti-
airy to pilot the expedition to rich gold
deposits he made his CONDUCTORS be-.
lieve he knew the existence of on
Kotzebue Sound, has gone down with
all on board. 1t seems that Stevens
claim was unfounded and only ruse
to obtain his release from prison.
His partners were so incensed at his
deceit that they marooned him on an
island in the Sound and started on
their return home, since which time
nothing has been heard from them.
The expedition was headed by ]. F..
Addleman, Chief Turnkey, and o. d.
Butterfield his deputy, who secured
leave of absence to prosecute the en-
terprise, which is thought to have i'm
plicated much higher State officials.
If they are lost, it but presages the
fate of all interested in the corrupt
bargain for immunity from punish
ment OF a ten-year term convict as a
consideration for enriching band of
cOnspirators.

Scarcity Of Small Bills.

1t is said at the Treasury Department
that the scarcity OF small bills is some
what complicated by the act of Congress
prohibiting the use of power presses in
the Bureau OF Engraving and Printing.
Enormous pressure is being brought to
bear upon the treasury for bills of small
denominations, and under some circum-
stances this demand could be partially
met, it Is claimed. ii Thousand 81
bills are preferred to a 81 900 bill, it is a
matter OF setting the printing presses to
work to make the exchange.
The mode Of printing is by the slow,
laborious hand photographic presses, at
each Of which two persons work and
are able to print about $50 sheets per
hour, of five notes to q sheet. Six
thousand-dollar bills per day is there
fore the limit to each press, and al
thouph there are many of them in
use, they are not fast enough to sup
ply the smaller currency and keep up
with other current work. The Bureau
of Engraving and Printing is an asy-
lum, to a large extent, of the aged, de-
crepid and infirm of the soldiers OF
the civil war and their dependents

not, therefore, the bone and sinew fol
