This action will be heartily commended by all classes throughout the country. It has been a long time since a more urgent call for an extraordi- nary session of congress existed. The financial situation has been going from bad to worse ever since t&9 break in the speculative mar kets nearly two months ago. From that time to this the country has been pickiug a way along the rag ged edge of a panic. Stocks have been falling, money growing tight er, capital becoming timid, demand for the productions of the factories rapidly diminishing, and the em ployment of labor threatened with eenous curtailment. Doubt, un- - certainty and distrust have been seizing hold of business and para lyzing the arms of trade and indus- try. Whatever may have been the ' determining causes of this situa- . tion, .everybody is agreed as to what stands irrevocably in the way of tbe speedy recovery of confi- ", dence, without which the existing . . demoralization - and depression must be indefinitely continued. ' Business must know what is to be the standard of value wlietherjit is to be a silver dollar depreciated fifty per cent and wildly fluctuat ing in actual value in the world's r exchanges from day lo day, cr whether it is to be the gold dollar ' of the great commercial nations. , Business must also know what it is to expect in the way of tariff changes. Without this knowledge " and without assurance that the currency is to be founded on a standard of some assured stability, without accurate information as to the rates of taxes lo be put upon imported commodities, there can be no restoration of confidence, no driving away of timidity from cap ital, no stop to the contraction of credit and the paralysis of all en- - "terprise. ' Thus congress, holds the key to the situation. It alone can furnish the needed " remedies. We have held that in this view of the case it should have been called in ex traordinary session before this time. We have thought it to Le . jio constitutional function of the executive power to " educate " that body or to determine the times when, in the president's Opinion, its " education" was suf ficient for the purposes in hand. Responsibility rested with congress alone and there it should have been placed at an earlier date than this. It is well, therefore, that the session is to begin a month earlier than was intended. . The action of the president will carry assurance to the fevered mind of business all over the land of a speedy and no doubt a happy relief from the ills of distrust, that at present afflict the markets.

S0tfr CAROLINA'S EXPERIMENT There has been no end of fun poked at South Carolina for the stand she is taking with the liquor question by going into the buisness, and the temperance people con demn in unmeasured terms tl.e Hea f a state setting up whisky shop's. It must be confessed that the experiment is a novelt' and a 111,11 Iced departure Lrom all ideas heretofore , advanced on the sub ject. But, as an experiment, it may be worth trying, though we confess we have not much faith in it as a satisfactory solution of the problem that has been conlronling us for generations. It is an exer cise by the state of its authority for regulating the liquor traffic in another direction than absolute prohibition of sale, the plan of most who have enlisted them selves to the warfare against its manifold evils. Prohibition does not always and necessarly prohibit, its failure being largely due to the idiosyncrancies and personal frail lies of those charged with enforce ment of the laws and the senti ment of the several communities under their jurisdiction. Undoubt edly the same reasons will largely contribute to the success or failure of the South Carolina experement. Meantime, its outcome will be watched with interest. It is not improbable" that some valuable data may be evolved from it. The famous histrionic remark from the governor of North Carolina to the governor cf South Corolina is more than ever before to be re pealed in the Palmetto state with in the i.extyear. Cincinnati Trib une. A number of indictments have been made against persons con nected with the Portland custom house under James Lotan, the ex colleclor himself being among them. Inspectors recently in the Astoria custom house have also been arrested. The indictments are for smuggling, and kindred charges. The government has started in to make a case against us," was Mr. Lotan's commentary on his arrest, "and they have lo play the string out. It is persecu tion rather than prosecution, and is done merely to furnish an ex cuse to the administration for turn ing us summarily out after promis ing not lo do so. I was removed, they said, because I would land the enormous quantity of opium and contraband Chinese coming in on the Haytian Republic. But there was not a pound of opium found on her, and they are still landing her passengers, some every day." It is understood that Mr. Lotan is to be prosecuted, if at all, not for active participation in any smug gling,Jbut for neglecting to use lii official position to prevent it. The Sunday attendance at the world's fair has been so small that the directors have come to the conclusion that the public dosen't so much want Sunday opening as was supposed. It was previously announced that last Sunday's re ceipts at the gates would be do nated for the relief of the families of the firemen who lost their lives in the recent fire on the grounds, but notwithstanding this charitable arrangement the altedance was unusually small. " Vice-President Adlai, Stevenson and a party of friends, who are on their way to the Northwest, will be greeted with a rousing reception when they reach Portland. It is expected that the vice-president will reach Portland in a day or tvo,on his way to the sound, and during his necessarily brief stay in ihe city, Portland democrats will do all the honors to the distin guished lllinoisan that circumstan ces will allow. : . Five hundred empty beer bar rels, for reshipment to the brew eries, were piled up in front of a saloon in Pendleton the other daj representing the amount of. beer consumed at that saloon in two months. Each barrel holds fifteen gallons, making a total for the 500 of 7,500" gallons, nearly two each for every man, woman and child in that city. ".'The first cost of the beer was about $2,000. No woiidtr the brewing companies find Pen dleton a good field to compete for. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. The gurgeon general of the Uni ted States army reports that the rate of admission to the hospitals for alcoholism is forty per 1,000, a proportion the enormhy of which is only appreciated by comparing our rates with the freedom from lunkenness of the British, 2.5C; the Italian, 0.03, and the German army, 0 20. During the last fiscal year the desertions numbered 1,3S2 id this great total has been far exceeded in recent times. The difficulty of securing good men is shown by the fact that the recruit ing officers in making 8,147 enlist ments last year rejected 20,831 ap plicants who lacked necessary qualifications, mental, moral or physical. A system is in force by which men are allowed lo buy their way out of the army during the second and third years of their first enlistment, which tempts undesirable men to enter the ser vice, and then assures them a quick deliverance the first time they become offended" by their commanding officer or ara called upon to perform any arduous r unpleasant duty. During the last year 880 went out by thus purchas ing the privilege, while among other causes that depleted the army were 394 fraudulent enlist ments, and 83G sentences of gar rison courts-martial. So low is the moral tone that a military prison has to be maintained at a cost of $75,000 a year. The social status of the enlisted man is most unde sirable, yet he is allowed to marry and have his family at an army post. The result is that one-fourth of all the women at the forts and more than one-third of the children are Ihej families of soldiers, be tween whom and the families of the officers the social lines are and must be strictly drawn. New York Times, June 15th: "It was learned from high Russian scources yesterday that the Rus sian government has decided to maintain a permanent fleet of war ships m United States waters, and the port of New York will be made Russia's Western naval cen ter. It was announced yesterday thalrrepresentatives of the Rus sian government had made over tures to the Erie drydocks . estab lishment toj undertake the care and overhauling of all warships maintained by Russia in Ameri can waters. The opinion was ven tured in naval circles last evening that in view of the likelihood of the Behringsea cases going against Great Britain and the late an muncement that England is rein forcing her naval force at Esqui mault, the proposed action of Rus sia is of great importance to the United Stales, Congressman Magner says that President Cleveland has tendered to State Supreme Court Justice Edgar M.

A number of prominent Americans are now endeavoring to have what they term a suitable sum of money sub- j scribed and invested for the bene fit of his family. ''It is barely possible," .. says I he Statesman, "that there are other families, a good deal nearer than Spain is to us, too, that areas needy and as worthy of pubiic sympathy and aid. With all the advantages the Duke of Veragua has had in life he ought to be qualified to support his fa-nily from his own exertions. Men more poorly equipped ..have to do this. If President Palmer really wants to do a kindness let him give the aristocratic and im pecunious duke a job at the world's fair. There are plenty of positions there, some of them quite soft snaps. And again if President. Pal mer wants to do a kindness let him start a movement for the relief of such persons as old Dan Ernmst, the author and composer of "Dixie Land," who, in his old age, is saw ing wood and doing chores in an Indiana hamlet. There is too -much toadyism and to litlle hu manity and patriotism and good sense abroad iu the world." It was learned at the pension office at Washington on June 14th that 2560 pensioners have been suspended up to date under Sec retary Hoke Smith's recent ruling The suspensions are not confined lo any particular locality, but are well distributed throughout the co in try.

He writes: "For eight years, I ras, most ot the time, a great sufferer from constipa tion, kidney trouble, and Indiges tion, so that rny constitution seemed to be completely broken down. I was induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and took nearly seven bottles, with such excellent results that my stomach, bowels, and kidneys are in perfect con dition, and, in all their functions, as regular as clock-work. At the time I began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, my weight was only 129 pounds ; I now can brag of 169 pounds, and was never in so good health. If you conld see me be fore and after using, you would want me for a traveling advertisement. I believe this preparation of Sarsaparilla to be the best in the market to-day."
