EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.
The rumors that the President would cull Congress
together in extra session have narrowed down to the
understanding that the call will be made in time for
the passage of some measure regarding the Panama
Canal and to agree upon a financial bill. The latter
is now the engrossing topic in connection with the ex
tra session. The Finance Committee of the Senate
over which Senator Aldrich presides as chairman, has
been conferring sedulously of late with intent to frame,
if possible, a bill which will Lave reasonable assurance
of passage. That is where the trouble comes in. There
is a decided difference of opinion even in the Republi
can ranks. There are times, such as the season for
moving fall crops, when the banks find themselves in
need of a grtater volume of currency in the form of
small notes, and particularly in the rural banks. This
want is largely felt in the Middle West. When the
crops have been moved and the crop marketed, the
. money returns to the banks and the stress is over.
This condition has led to the Western demand for
what has been termed an elastic currency, or one
which would expand and contract automatically, ac
cording to the demands of business. . One of the reme-
: dies is cased on the fact that while the government
receipts from internal revenue are deposited in banks,
and find their way into channel? of trade, the larger
receipts from the customs are deposited in the sub
treaBuries and are only paid out upon the appropria
tions. This, it is contended, withdraws from trade a
sum aggregating $1,00,000 a day. The proposition is
made that the national banks be made the depositaries
for the customs receipts also, with the expectation that
the exigencies of crop-moving time and similar sea
sons of need would be relieved. Those who oppose
this scheme are generally favorable to the plan repre
sented by what is known as the Fowler bill, and which
has come to be called asset currency. These propose
to authorize the issuance of additional currency by the
national banks to the amount of fifty per cent of their
capital, and place upon it a tax of three per cent per
annum, it being contemplated that under such an ar
rangement the banks would only call for the increased
-circulation in time of real necessity; and, when the
stress was over, the tax would induce them to reduce
the circulation of their own accord. The increase
would only occur when the increased interest on loans
would exceed the three pe cent. tax. A subsidiary
question is the security which the government may
accept from the banks for deposits and for the circula
tion of their notes. Here again the Eastern and Wes
tern ideas are in conflict. The former would inclu e
in the acceptable securities railroad and possibly in
dustrial Vonds, thus increasing the market for the par
ticular securities in which Wall Street deals. The
latter would restrict them to government bonds and
those of States and municipalities, the latter of which
the government now holds to the amount of some
$20,000,000. With these questions to threHh over, it
is quite possible that a month before the regular ses
sion of Congress will be none too long to accomplish
anything of positive value, or even to reach an agree
ment. A feature will at once strike our readers of the
Pacific Coast, particularly in this State, is that, while
this question is agitating the East and the Middle
"West, we find it here as foreign to our interests as
though we were in a detached or isolated country.
Here we are, and have always been, on a specie basis.
The issue of bank-notes and gold and silver certificates
Is a matter with which the Oregonian has apparently
little concern. He scarcely knows the difference be
tween gold-certificates and silver-certificates, bank
notes and greenbacks. These conditions account for
the fact that Oregon is a passive observer of the dis
cussion, and seems to anticipate the result with a tran
quil equanimity.
tests strongly against the use of liquor by soldiers.
He says:
The soldier who abstains altogether is the best man.
He can accomplish more, can march tatter and is a
tatter soldier than the man who drinks even moder
ately. Mentally and physically ho is tatter.
Strong drink tires and only increases thirst. For sol
diers, water, coffee, and atave all tea.
The testimony of this officer, who has behind him
the record of long and active service in the Herman
army, should ta worth something in the discussion of
a question of this kind. There is little doubt that the
consensus of expert military opinion in Europe and
America will atlirm the correctness of his judgment.
To say that a sense of weariness and thirst follows in
dulgence in alcoholic stimulants is merely stating a
physiological fact. Excessive stimulation means a
physical and mental reaction, in which the lowers
aro at a low ebb.
In the case of the soldier it would seem to the "non-
combatant" that a sober, clear-headed, well-balanced
fighter is worth more in the long run than the soldier
crazed into reckless daring or frenzied madness by
temporary alcoholic stimulation.

Instead of writing "Just as the sun went down,"
an up-valley rejwrter introduces an account of a wed-
dini in the following tlowerv liitiinmire: "Just as the !
gray twilight of the first Autumn day was casting its
mantle over the golden tinged landsca and t ho dull
shadows of eve were creeping stealthilv into the
bosom of night, two jtopular and cultured young pei
ple plighted their troth."
Sam Morris, the Indian ball player, has joined the!
Browns in California for the remainder of the season.
At the rate the Portland team was taing succesefnlly
defeated, it occurred to the average fan that the time
had arrived for making some changes or additions to
the team. Morris, however, did not prove himself to
be the required stimulant, for in the initial game he
lost to Oakland by a score of 6 to I. He may do bet
ter in the succeeding games.
It would appear that it is not necessary for the ad
vertiser to be required to persistently insist that now
is the time of all times of the year that the merchant j
should advertise. With hop-picking and the harvest
ing of all crops nearing an end, it is time for the mer
chant to speak and in this connection we would tag to
remark that the Enterprise is the best medium through
which the advertiser may reach the people of Clacka
mas county.
It would appear that suicide is on the increase in
the United States. The ratio to each 100,000 persons
has increased four tenths of 1 per cent during the last
year and St. Louis heads the list as the city of sui
cides, with a ratio of 2".7 to every 100,000 inhabitants.
The conclusions have been reached by a well-known
insurance statistician, Frederick L. Hoffman. Statis
tics presented by Mr. Hoffman deal with fifty cities
and over a population aggregating 14 million. In
the fifty cities enumerated 200 persons took their
own lives last year. Hoboken, N. J., stands second in
the list of cities with a suicide rate of 23.6. while New
York, counting only the boroughs of Manhattan and
the Bronx, is fifth, with a ratio of 21.2. Of the fifty
cities on whose population Mr. Hoffman made hiscal
oulations, the first nine are: St. Louis, Hoboken, Chi
cago, Oakland. Cal., New York, Milwaukee, Cincin
nati, Brooklyn and Boston. Fall River, Mass., has
the smallest ratio of the suicides, 2.7. In the registra
tion, persons of French origin lead in the list of sui
cides, with a ratio of 22; German and those of Slavonic
origi are second, with a ratio of 19.3. Among ativc
Americans the ratio per 100,000 is C.8, while persons
of Irish origin have the smallest ratio of suicides, C.J.
It is known that the suicide ratio has increased from
12.0 per 100,000 of population in 1800 to 17.0 in 1000.

USE OF LIQUOR IN THE ARMY.
An interesting contribution to the discussion grow
ing out of the custom of giving liquor to soldiers is
made by Count von Haeseler, until lately commander
of the sixteenth army corps in Germany, and one of
Emperor William's military favorites.
The count is not one of those who believe that
etrong drink is necessary to make a good soldier, nor
-does he believe that alcoholic stimulation increases
the powers of endurance or the fighting quality in sol
diers. On the contrary, Count von Haeseler, after
twenty-five years of total abstinence in the army, pro-
A professor in one of the large eastern colleges has
been interesting himself in the old question as to the
relative value of work of men and women teachers.
He has gathered reports from 1031 people who are
presumed to be able to pass judgment in the matter,
of whom 54.J are men and 4W women. 81 per cent,
of the men report in favor of male teachers while the
women were divided evenly, 50 per cent, on each side
of the Bex line. Accompanying all responses were
briefly expressed reasons for the conclusions reached.
The average opinion favored the idea that men are
better adapted to the instruction of youth above the
age of 13 years, while women are better fitted for the
work with pupils under 9 years. During the inter
mediate years, between 0 and 13, opinins seem to
nearly balance in regard tn the preference of the sex
of teachers. The only point of interest in the inquiry
is the weight of opinion in favor of male teachers for
the adolescent youth. The fact that j. distinction
should be drawn on that line excites suspicion that
the persons who responded to the professor's inquiry
were mostly elderly persons. A generation ago, or
more, the muscular ability of the school teacher was
the first consideration where adolescent youth were
concerned. There are stories in fact, telling how
school teachers uned to be taken "on trial" in some
localities. If the teacher succeeded in taking all the
fight out of the big boys, at the end of the week, he
was engaged permanently, otherwise he was told to
"move on."
