The impression is getting abroad that President Cleveland will call an extra session of congress in the hope that it mar furnish a solution for some of the vexing problems that are now woryiug the life out of the administration. It is not expected that a currency or bond bill will be passed at the present session, and it looks very much as though the government would derive no relief whatever from anything that tbe present legisla tive body can or will accomplish.

If, therefore, things continue as they are, on the road from bad to worse, it cannot be doubted that the president will convene the new congress, and invoke its aid in extricatins the covernment from the financial mire and bog into which it has been plunzed since public affairs passed Into the control of Democratic hands. If convened the new congress will cer tainly find plenty of work to do. Much helpful legislation is needed, but the Ra Dublicans will, we fear, find themselves more or less embarrassed when it comes to the promulgation of new measures necessary to re establish the national finances upon a sound basis and restore the business confidence of the country. A Democratic senate and a Democratic President can easily thwart the will of the house of representatives should they choose to do so, but tbe fact that the president himself greatly desires to have a better condition of national affairs brought about encourages the hope that he would cooperate with the Republi' cans in an honest effort to advance the common interests. One thing at least is certain.

If the president does convene the new congress in extraordinary session he can expect it to do nothing along those lines which have been operated by his own party. The present financial distress, so keenly felt by both government and people, is the result of Democratic mismanagement, and the business of Republicans wiil be to shake off the tendency to resort to foolish and untried experiments in the hope of furnishing either temporary or permanent relief. A policy of wise statesmanship must necessarily be inaugurated, and this will include no wildcat schemes for the reorganization of the currency, no doubtful expedients for the relief of the treasury, but the emergency existing will have to be met with Republican coolness and be dealt with in that firm spirit of honest conservatism that has always distinguished the Republican party when it has been compelled to deal With grave problems of state. After Tammany's Charter. The New York Mail and Express wants the legislature to take away the charter of Tammany Hall, and in this it should be royally supported by every honest citizen in tbe Empire state.

Tammany, as the whole world knows, is nothing more or less than a great big organization controlled in the interest of thieves and rascals, and it should be put down. The people of New York have no more use for this aggregation of plunderers than they would have for the Klu KIux, Mafia, pr any other dangerous institu tion, and it is a wonder to us that such a monstrous corporation has not been dis solved before this time. It seems strange that this gigantic ma chine which has so often been used as an instrument of oppression and public plunder, should have been organized for charitable purposes, and yet such is the case, it is described in the charter as a benevolent organization, and was doubt less formed for a good purpose. Its debasement illustrates tbe power of bad men to subvert a good cause to their own wicked and selfish designs, a lesson that is not new in history. There are several grounds on which, it is alleged, Tammany can rightfully be deprived of the charter wh ich gives it a light to existence.

It has grossly perverted the provisions of the document in becoming a secret political organization, having public plunder for its mission, holds more real estate than its charter allows, and is otherwise amenable to punishment, which should not stop short of complete annihilation. Such a closing up of its affairs would indeed be a glorious triumph in the interests of reform, and would foreyer relieve the municipal government of the great metropolis of tthe most dangerous influence that men aces its puriiy. Men complain of the stuffing having gone out of their pocket books. It has probably gone into the turkey. A New Form of the Grip.

That tantalizing epidemic, the grip, with which everybody is more or less familiar, notwithstanding it has pre viously assumed a variety of forms, has appeared in Philadelphia in a new guise, and is thus described by Dr. Thomas fl. Andrews, a prominent practioncr, in the city of Brotherly Love: A mild form of grip is now prevailing as an epidemio throughout the city. It dates back about a month and the present moist weather is conducive to it. But few of the cases present the alarming pulmonary symptoms they did a few years ago for the same time it is practically self protecting like scarlet fever and The main symptoms are a dull, heavy pain in the back, with a great accompanying weakness, not only in the legs, but throughout the entire body.

A few cases have assumed a new form, particularly in the back and side and in the head. There is little or no fever, the pulse rather alow than otherwise. The present attack seems to last about a week or ten days, or, at the most, two weeks. Rest, generous diet and moderate Btimulation are required. A curious point is that, with a large number of people suffering, as they say, with a cold, they have noeongh symptoms.

It has been so mild in its form that many have suspected other physical troubles oh account of the continual pain in tbe back. Blatant Mowbray, the villainous English anarchist who is now spreading his pernicious doctrines in the United States, is to bo reinforced by another agitator of the same ilk from the other side. The New York World suggests that as promptly as possible after the new man's arrival be and Mow bray should bs come comrades in a sea voyage, to which the American shore will figure as the point left behind," Let everybody sec ond the motion. Trolley Road Investments. The Financial Chronicle has begun the publication of such statistics as are ob tainable about street railways, cable and electric.

That the time is ripe for some thing of tbe sort is evident from the important extension of cable and trolley lines, both urban and suburban, which have witnessed in recent years, as well as from the formation of traction com' panics to control sometimes all the street railways of a given city. Naturally such progress in the extension of surface rail ways has attracted the attention of finan cial men and large amounts of money have been invested in these enterprises, Yet the bonds and stocks of these com panies, with a few exceptions, have not yet become popular investments. For this there are several reasons. For one thing, tbe importance of these new com' panies has come upon us so. suddenly that there has hardly been timo enough yet to form a deliberate judgment upon them.

The electric companies which are engaged in furnishing the apparatus to such of our surface roads as require them, have, for a year or two been gath enng statistics of operations which seem to show that electrically equipped rail' wars are capable of earning additional profit, more than enough to cover the interest on the cost of the change from animal power. Unfortunately certain speculating capitalists in some instances have taken advantage of this supposed additional profit to increase the capital! zaiion of surface line companies so greatly as to leave in the mind of the ordinary investor the impression that the whole matter was being overdone. Nor are the manufacturing companies free from blame in this matter. It been openly charged that in order to find a market for their wares these manufac turers have in some instances undertaken to finance electric proi ects in various sections of the country. Another ele ment of uncertainly is the general lack of experience as regards the expenses of operating trolley lines.

Steam railroads have now been running many years, and we Know what it costs on tne average for tbe maintenance of the plant; but it is not so with electric roads, Electricity as a motive power has been in use but a comparatively short time. "We know now that the heavier cars and the greater rapidity require a more substan tial track than was at first supposed necessary; some or tne rails now being put down in our streets are as heavy as those used on our trunk lines of rail road, and it may be added are wearing out as rapidly as on the steam rail ways. Then, again, we do not know the average me 01 a car. me prices ior street cars fitted with electric motors have of late fallen to one third of the old quotations, and this, of course, must bavo an important effect upon the amounts required for renewals when the present equipment begips to wear out. Yet even at these low prices the renewals of equip ment when these become necessary will add to the operating expenses, though how much is a matter of mere corject ure.

Of courso parts of the electrical outfit are wearing out now, but prudence requires in buying tbe bonds of street railways for investment that the company should have a large surplus over present fixed charges, from which renewals of track and equipment can in the future be easily and safely made. "With these allowances for uncertainty, due to lack of experience and to the newness of tbe plant, there seems no doubt that tlie bonds of street railways will in time become safe for the average investor. The traffic is as certain as that of the steam railways and even more capable of development. In this city we may count with certainty upon an increasing number of travellers and in the country surrounding we may expect a reasonable growth of traffic. There is, too, the possibility to be considered of new discov eries in electricity which may displace the present trolley as a motive power, but such discoveries, if made, will hardly effect bond values, except to increase them.

With a traction company which controls all the street lines of a city, it would rather be a question of adopting the new motor than a question of the entrance of more competition. From the development of electric traffic and its probable increase, we should say that the purchaser of trolley railway securities would be doing a good thing by himself to invest whenever he sees an oppor tunity. No Doubt of It. The Philadelphia Record prints this: "A new steel company is to be organized at Pittsburg, with a capital of nearly two million dollars. There appears to be prospective profit enough in the iron business to attract loose capital, not withstanding the reduction of tariff rates.

There is no remaining doubt that iron cun De produced lu tins country at prices which defy foreign competition. Tariffs onlyserveasa shelter for combinations arranged to. pluck the home consumer. They are no longer needed to prevent importations." This is another case of special pleading required to bolster up an indefonsible dogma. No one can question the ability of men, able to invest nearly two million dollars in a steel mill, to make money on their ment.

If they can make six, or even five, per cent, with the investment safely secured, they are satisfied. Many men will lend money for an enterprise in which they are not willing to enter on theirown responsibility. So long as the interest comes in they are not disturbed about the oppression that is compelled to raise it. liut tney who haTe to pay it have bitter experiences. The state 'from one end to tbe other is strewn with wrecks, evidences of too confiding faith in the business outlook, and while the man who let bis money go on good security gets out whole, the man who borrowed tbe money is turned down.

Throughout central Pennsylvania aro blast furnaces, nail mills, car shops and planing mills that are now making money that in the depressing times of 1873 were compelled to close for lack of business. The reason whv they aro mik THE SCEAXTON REPUBLICAN, WEDNESDAY MOKNTNXJ, DECEMBER 26, 1894, ing money now is that the plant was secured at a ridiculously low figure from the sheriff, and with no interest to pay it was comparatively easy to declare a dividend by simply cutting down tbe wages. The men who are, as alleged, willing to invest a couple of million dol lars in a steel plant, we yenture to say. are not the men who will conduct the business. Tbe money will come through second hands, and tbe men who earn the interest will pay by far the larger share of it There is nothing in our view of the case to feel comfortable about when pauper wages must be re sorted to to make a business profitable.

Business cannot be said to be good when tbe wage earner does not get enough out of it to enable him to live respectably. It is he that should haye tbe first considera tion. Labor is at tbe foundation of the superstructure of society. To defy for eign competition sounds very but the poor devil of a workman has to stand the brunt of the challenge, and he never gets into a defiant mood until he is pressed beyond the limit of endurance, and when he gets defiant he raises merry hail and gets six months in the peniten tiary for it. If the men who "defy for eign competition'' would not continually at the same time defy the workmen to resent a cut in the wages there would be less said about free trade in this state.

If it is true that "tariffs only serve as a shelter for combinations arranged to pluck tbe home consumer," It is equally true that the tariffs serve as a protection to consumers who can afford to stand some plucking. But with wages at the lowest living point who is that is. mak ing any money? mere is certainly "no remaining doubt that iron can be pro duced in this country at prices which defy foreign competition, if we can get our laborers down to the style of living common in foreign countries to men who take no living interest in competition or anything else but bread and shelter.
