A report has been received in
Washington from Oyster Bay to the
effect that there Is a possibility of
the presidents calling congress in
extraordinary session, even before
the date heretofore announced,
November 9. This report is believed
to have grown out of statement
made by Senator Aldrich in which
he says "should the president call
congress in session in October or
November" It is reported that the
members of the subcommittee of
the senate committee of finance,
who have beer in Oyster Bay con-
ferring with the president with re-
gard to the financial bill they are
charged with drafting, have urged
upon Mr.. Roosevelt the advisabllity
of authorizing congress to take up
the financial measure in advance of
the resolution necessary to put the
provisions of the Cuban treaty into
effect and that the president has
refused to do so but has said he
would congress even earlier than
been anticipated, if that we're con-
sidered advisable by the members
of the committee. Politicians and
officials in Washington are hoping
the rumor prove to be untounded as
they believe it would be a mistake
TO attempt to convene a session of
congress before the local elections
are over.

While it was at first supposed that
Mr.. Roots position would fall to
Governor Taft, and tits still believed
that it will be offered to that official,
there seems to be some doubt as to
the Governor willingness to accept
the position. It is believed that
complete civil government wilt soon
be accorded to the Philippines and
and that then the jurisdiction of
the war department in the islands
will end, so that Governor Taft's
knowledge of the islands might not
prove of special use were he to be-
come secretary of war.

with regard TO the needed financial
legislatation. Mr.. Carlisle was in
vited to the conference because the
president wishes, in so far as may
be, TO defer to the views Of the
democrats and thus insure a large
majority for a measure which he
and his advisors regard as so essent.
ial to the future welfare of the
country In this connection it is
pointed out that the financial market
is already in a pecarious condition
and a scarcity Of money, when it
becomes necessary to send funds
west to move the crops, might be
attended with disastrous results
This argument is doubtless another
that Is being used with the president
IN favor of an extra early session.
Secretary Root has placed his
resignation in the hands of the
the president to take effect as early
in the winter as Mr.. Roosevelt will
permit. Mr.. Root sails for Europe
on the 22d of this month to take
part in the proceedings of the
Alaskan Boundary Commission and
will prepare his annual report I'M
mediately on his return, when he
hopes to be relieved of his present
Office Mr. Root has proven so able
a secretary of war that his resigna-
ton is a matter of sincere regret to
the president whose official and per
sonal relations with HIM have al
ways been most cordial As, how
ever, every member of the cabinet
serves at a considerable pecuniary
sacrifice, the president feels that he
cannot longer urge Mr.. Root to
remain.

The graceful Senator Tillman has
declared that the silver plank of the
Kansas City platform must be retain
ed. AS the senator is a farmer, like
Mr.. Bryan, he should have said
something about wheat.
The Progressive Farmer, published
at Raleigh, N. c., has the query,
"Do cows have hollow horn or hollow
tail?" The solution of the latter
inquiry will be awaited with inter-
est. We should think that ox-tail
soup made from a cows hollow tail
would probably be less nourishing
than some other varieties.
Erving Winslow, the secretary of
the anti-imperialistic league, abso-
lutely refuses to wait until December
for Secretary Roots retirement. This
may be very embarrassing to the
administration but it does not mean
of course that we are going to lose
Massachusetts.

In the impossible event Of a repub-

this extent are the republicans
interested in having a safe and con-

first place on the democratic ticket, a

pledged to tariff smashing, and Of

Should Judge Taft be selected by
the president as secretary Of war in
the event of Mr.. Roots presumable
retirement next winter, no appoint
ment that the president could make
could meet with more general APP
proval throughout the country.
Judge Taft, in every position that he
has occupied, has shown himself
possessed of strong qualities. AS
governor Of the Philippines he has
given the best and most numerous
proofs Of his ability, and as the
Philippine question is likely, for
some years to come, to be one Of the
most difficult problems with which
the war department has to deal,
Judge Taft's appointment as secretary
of war would be not only a well
merited promotion, but would place
him directly in line with the work in
which he has been so successful.
Judge Tafts father was secretary Of
war under President Grant.

The Fight in Monroe

To add to the complications and
uncertainties in the Monroe judicial
contest, last week the three ex.
county commissioners, Jacob Hart
man, Peter Pipher and Joseph
Zacharias, issued a circular in which
they set out that had it not been for
the influence and advice of Mr..
Staples in the Strader case, which
cost the county about $4,000, it
would have been settled before 1t
was taken to the Supreme court and
the county could thereby have saved
$4,000. The primaries in Monroe
viii be held tomorrow. Several
other charges and election stories
have been actively circulated during
the past few days expected tc
influence voters and the result il
uncertain both sides claiming, how,
ever, to be sure Of a majority.

Still the situation has frightened

the end of next week most all who
left to escape the high water will

STRANGE CONDITIONS.

At one time the Democratic party
of the State of Mississippi was an
organization of which every individ-
ual member of it could be prood; that
was when it was dominated by pure,
patriotic men, who held principle
above the fieshpots, and when the
demagogue, the timeserver and the
corruptionist dare not display his
head for fear it be knocked off, meta
phorically speaking. 1t was when
the stream Of Democracy flowed along
limpidly and undefiled by the tricks,
atifices and Vaccinations OF the pot
house politicians, with whom gall
and brass serve the place of brains and
honesty, but what do we find today
in the organization in Mississippi :?
Certainly not the sort of Democracy
that existed in the days Walthall,
George, Lamar, Stone, Lowry and a
host of others-men of brain and big
hearts, of integrity and principle who
would not swerve an inch from the
path Of Democracy, thorny though
it might be, for any political gift that
was rendered from any other source
than their own party In these days
we are witnessing the strange and
anomalous condition of Republicans
striving to gain the ascendancy in
the Democratic party, some claiming
to be Democrats still, though they
have betrayed the parity by accepting
gifts at the hands Of the opposition,
and others making no pretense of
being aught else but Republicans, yet
openly avowing their purpose to enter
the senatorial and gubernatorial
campaign for the purpose of carrying
out the behests of President Roose-
velt's referee" in Mississippi. Can
anything be more nauseating and dis
gusting to those who profess to be
true Democrats, with an iota of prin-
ciple or a scintilla of love for the
grand old party, by which they
stood SO nobly and valiantly when
she was passing through the throe
and labor. of the days. of reconstruc-
tion, and whose banners they have so
Loyalty and steadfastly followed ever
since.
Is Mississippi to be again Repub-
licanized for the benefit and ag-
grandizement of few politicians
whose only thought is Office aud only
ambition the emoluments attaching
therefor That is the move that is
now making, and the signs are 50
plain that he who runs may read. m
less he shuts his eyes to them deliber-
ately and refuses 10 see. II this Is
