Business at the Extra Session. The length of time the Fifty-fifth Con- gress is likely to remain in extra session is an interesting question witli the politi- cians. Some of them fix the limit at two months, while others are expecting the session to last until July 1 When discussion of 1m extra session first began, the popular idea was that no leg- fslation outside of a tariff bill would be attempted. The program suggested was that a tariff bill should be ready for the House upon its organization, that the Howse should take this up, briefly discuss it and promptly pass it, and then rest on its Oars until the Senate could complete th® work. Upon examination, however, it 1s discovered that by this plan the Senate would be kent idle while the House was debating and passing the tariff bill, and the House idle while the Senate was re- viewirg its labors. This, of course, is ont of the question. A majority of the House could not be kept here for weeks for no other purpose but to pass on the compro- mise report on the tariff bill, nor would the Senate care to sit with folded hands for several weeks pending the receipt of the bill from the House in the first place. The extra session of the new Congress, therefore, is likely to take up and pass upon other important measures beside a tariff measure. Just what other measures is a problem. Other important questions are pressing. Mr. Wolcott will be back in February with information bearing on the silver question, and not improbably, it is thovght, that will be reserved for use at the extra session if Congress at this sion should fail to take action on the pro; osition for an international monetary con- ference. By this arrangement the Senate would begin with the financial question, while the House was disposing of the tariff question, leaving the House to dispose of the financial question while it, the Senate, completed the work on the tariff. Much, however, will necessarily depend en the actual situation when the new Con- gress meets, and on the ability of the re- publicans to muster a majority vote in the Senate. If matters are safely within re- publican control, by combination or other- wise, in the Senate, expedition of business Will be possible. But if they lose the con- tests in North Carolina and Kentucky they will be left very much to the mercy of the opposition. But whatever is done, whether much or little, at the extra session will be so much deducted from the work of the regular session next winter, and will enable the party In power to bring about an early adjournment in the spring of 1898. ———__ +e + +o The Crying of Sunday Papers. The present local regulation forbids the crying of Sunday newspapers except be- tween the hours of 7 and 10:30 in the morn- ing. The proposed regulation, which will not go into effect until after notice by pub- tion for the statutory period, forbids uch crying altogether or Sunday. Neacly all the yelling by newsboys of which com- plaint has been made has occurred either before 7 or after 10:30 o'clock, disturbing the sleeping public in one e and the worshipping public in the other. This nui- sance is forbidden by the present regula- tion as completely as by the proposed new rule. The main results sought by the ad- ates of the latter could probably have been attained through strict enforcement of the existing ordirance, the police at first admonishing the early or late newsboy with the fog-horn yoice that he is violating the law. The main need has seemed to be not of more law, but of better enforce- ment of the law; and there has been no at popular uprising to emphasize the jatter need. If the new ordinance, when fh goes inte effect, is not more stringently enforced than the present regulation, no hardships will fall upon the newsboys in the reasonable pursuit of their business and the effect will be merely to authorize the police to quiet cailiope-toned announce- ments of Sunday newspapers between the hours of 7 and 10:30, as readily as they may now suppress such noises at all other times on Sunday. In view of the existing law there does not appear to be & crying demand for the new ordinance; but whether the proposed regulation becomes iaw or Goes not, neither Christianity nor the liveli- hood of the newsboys seems io be menaced. iously eo ____. A Chance for Reform. The District Commissioners would carn the unreserved plaudits of the public if they were to inaugurate their new year by turning over a leaf in the history of local garbage collection and disposal with such an emphasis that it could never be turned back. No better time could Le found for stopping the scandalous disre- gard of contract obligations that has char- acterized this work ever since it was be- gun. The contractor withholds his claim for pay and thus avotds a decision on the question of whether he is to be setiled with on a cremation or a river disposal basis. Naturally, he cannot expect the former rate unless he hopes to persuade the Commissioners that the misfortunes al- leged to have overtaken him entitle bim to become the recipient of @ gratuity. In other words, is he to be rewarded from the Joint fund of the District and the general government for unwis> business metho skill in squabbling with crematory in: tors, and success in continuing to avoid contract requirements? What guaranice bave the Commissioners and the people that the contractor will not so manage as to close the furnace now being built on the Observatory site soon after its completion by the same maneuver that quenched the fires at the foot of South Capitol street? Mr. Hanna has been exceedingly busy, but he might take the time to serve notice that any bank desiring to fall must attend to it between now und the fourth of March. —_~-+o__—. Perry Carson is not the gnly man who is anxious to spoil a picturesque politician in order to make an office-hoider. ————»r+2e—___ Mr. Quay’s resolution appears to have Jess to do with the new year than with old scores. ——_++s —____ Weyler’s Expensen, Advices from Madrid ghow that there is a growing impatience there with General Weyler. He is criticised as too slow in his operations, and altogether too extravagant in his expenditures. He Isn't getting enough for his money. It is intimated that he may be relieved of his command if a change for the better does not very soon take place. Spain first tried General Campos. He had experience both as statesman and soldier, and moreover possessed @ thorough knowl- edge of Cuba. It was thought thet he could make short work of the revoit, and he was dispatched to the istand for that purpose. But he found the situation very different from what it was thought to be in Spain, and entirely beyond the instructions he had received for restaging order. He tried to set the truth before the officials at Madrid, but found it quite impossible. heir views must prevail, or General Cam- pos must come home. General Campos re- turned home. General Weyler was appointed to the place, and with instructions practically to go exactly counter to the course of his pre- decessor. He was told to go in with a will and finish the rebels. The failure of Gen- eral Campos was explained on the score that he had put too much stress on the arts of a statesman. Such arts, General Weyler was assured, were loss on the Cubans. The only means for bringing the war to an end Were the torch and the sword. Apply those liberatly and energetically, and the cause of the Insurgents would soon collapse. General Weyler has faithfully followed instructions, but the insurgents still keep the field) He has made a waste of the larger part of several provinces, and he has hiled a good many graves with the bodies of non-combatants and a few insurgent soldiers. A great parade has been neces- sary, and parades are expensive. So that Spain begins to groan at the bills—a very vertain sign, If no other existed, that her purse is getting thin. There was complaint of General Campos because he was not a butcher. There is complaint of General Weyler now because he makes butchery too expensive. Will the next man chosen be eminent in the com- missary depsrtment? Is the new plan for puttirg down the insurgents to be based on scrupulous economy in grub and ammunt- tion bills? Will the butcher be succeeded by a shrewd buyer and expert accountant? Is haughty Spain to be reduced to the cessity of employing the talents of a ‘shop-keeper,” after her derisive references to America on that score? And who is the man? ——_++e_____ Comprehensive Action Required. A fireman's life was imperilled last night at a 7th street fire because the electric wires strung in front of the burning build- ing prevented the prompt raising of a re- lief ladder. In sho-t, another warning has been given against the continued tolerance of the overhead wires, ad‘ling force to the many arguments presented in the past in the hcpe of securing final action by Con gress resulting in the burial of all wires, telegraphic, telephonic, lighting, private and official, withi: the shortest possible period. Cengress has frequentiy shown a desire to secure this desirable result, but has approached it by halting steps. It has prohibited all additional overhead wires. It has caused the removal of a line of over- head trolley which was not subject to the prohibition of the general law. It has repeatedly refused to restore to railway companies the privilege of using that obnoxious device. But while it has declared against additional overhead wires within the city limits, it has done almost ncthing to bury existing wires, or to pro- tect the well populated suburbs against ad- ditional wires, or to furnish authority for opening ihe city streets for the necessary underground extensions. The current Dis- trict appropriation bill contains an item of several thousand dollars for the erec- Uon of sixty-foot poles by the local gov- ernment, thus adding to the difficulties to be encountered when the problem pre- sented by the existing wires is finally as- sailed. The accumulating em>arrassments not only increase the present danger, but also tend to strengthen the opposition to final action by Congress in burying the wires. There is no lack of information respecting the need, economy and safety of a general conduit system. The case at present is unsatisfactory to every interest. Half the wires are overhead, endangering lines and disfiguring the streets, and even if the offending cerporations desired to do better they lack the necessary authority to build conduits. In shert, the city is betwixt order and chaos, in this regard, and the suspense is crowing irksome. ee If there was anything scandalous in con- nection with that much-discussed dinner in New York, it may serve as an intimation to the authorities of the character of en- tertainment permitted at the theaters at which the dancers had been employed. ———++e—____ Senater Wolcott does not disguise the fact that the position of advance-agent of international bi-metallism is not one of much immediate promise. ———2+e—___ It takes Mr. Addicks almost as long to get into office as it does some other men to get out. ———_+ = SHOOTING STARS. The Difference. “I suppose.” said Senator Sorghum thoughtfully, “that its a fine thing to be a ‘statesman; a fine thing.” “But you speak as if it had its draw- backs.” “It has. Of course, no labor is performed in vain. The recognition is only a question of time. To my mind a statesman is a great man. But, my boy, he ain't busi- ness-like. Very frequently he waits till after he’s dead before he gets anything for his services. But with a politician it's C. O. D. every time.” The Currency.
