The proposition to call Congress in ex tra session for the purpose of taking remedial steps in the peculiar financial conditions confronting the country, way be the wisest possible more that can be mad since the people are always amen able to specific action by the Govern ment when it is acting in their behalf, which is not always the case, unhappily. But we believe that anything that will lend to mitigate uneasiness and afford time for recovery will be urekome and will serve to allay doubt and misap prehension at borne and abroad; and for that reason we shall hail the call of the President for the immediate as sembly of Congress as a saving expedi ent. , ,' , ... - One of, the features of the present fipiyil disorder that contributes great ly to the public patience and faith, Is that the trouble is universal throughout the country, and everywhere due to the same initial causes. This indicates to the people at large that no local weak nesses are at the bottom of it, "which conclusion is calculated to arouse in terested inquiry and mimify the range of individual concern. It is the nearness of danger that emphasizes its personal bearing, and that no local bank in Ore gon k responsible primarily for the current disturbances, adds a measure of comfort and confidence to the views of the average Oregonian that stands him and his financial institutions in ex cellent stead these days. And to this quiet acceptance of the situation, the convention of Congress in special session, will add materially. ASTORIA SQUARELY IN LINE. We want it known all over the length and breadth of the land that the City of Astoria is squarely in line with the spirit of popular f orebearance in the matter of the pending financial problems. ' Our banks are in prime condition and the people know it. The call for money at the banks this week has been (as was expected), a bit beyond normal, but no enough so to create even a sus picion of uneasiness. Many go to their banks out of sheer curiousity, to ascer tain just how they will be received and to not what will be said by the officials. The concensus of opinion on the street is distinctly in favor of the policies adopted by the financiers and the State authorities and there is no doubt the situation will be allowed to work itself out to the orderly, If delayed, end. This is just as it should be and shows a conditition of public appreciation of the exact status, as unusual as it is commendable. - The absence of all ex citement will do more to accelerate the a condition of public appreciation of else: and the people of this city are evidently a unit in-so-far as their own banks and accounts are concerned, and uo not propose to figure in any precipi tabs action that will react upon a situa tion that is assuredly safe for the time being. ' ''' ( . n-.-.:-:-T. 0' " ' " ' REFUSES TO BE BUNCOED! The "wild and wooly Westerner'' re fuses to be buncoed by the slick "Pluto crat of the East. . The intervention of the "legal holiday" bas been peculiarly appropriate and entirely advantageous in the handling of what might have been, else, a very ugly situation; and the device is, so far as iwe can ascertain essentially of the Padflc elope of the Rockies. At all events, it has served a splendid purpose and is yet to prevail against the machinations of the preda tory "gang" of Wall street. Just now leaders of the great movement designed to break down the spirit and trend ot the administration policy of public financing, are contend ing mightily against the President's notion'to convene Ongre in immediate session, and if he needed anything to make that resolution exact and opera tive, without loss of time, this wild eagerness of protest would furnish all the excuse desired. We frankly admit we do not like , the attituUe that hai developed in that particular neighbor hood on this question, and shall be alto gether pleased to see it over-ridden rough-shod, as it is likely to be if the powers at Washington tumble to the motive behind the opposition of Wall street. t 1 The situation as it is understood at the present moment is without, any very grave eloments of danger and the moment is propitious for the applica tion of every concievable remedy. Feder al, State and local; and to withold a single speelfio may be the limit of folly. The prompt and ready grasp of Con gress upon the matter at this time will lend immense firmness to the popular sense of security, and this is what is mors imperative than anything else. a) EDITORIAL SALAD Some of the season's styles of ties displayed in the show windows should be called to the attention of "The Society for the Suppression of Useless Noise", A New York physician who makes his professional rounds , by automobile when it is well diagnoses the trouble with bis auto as "auto-motor ataxia."

Stenographer and Lawyer Who Reported Lincoln-Donjlas Debate. CHICAGO, Nov. 5. Henry Binmore, shorthand reporter, lawyer and author, died yesterday at his residence here. He was , 74 . years old. As secretary for Stephen A. Douglas he reported the famous debate with Lincoln in 1858. In 1860 and 1861 he was official re porter of the National House of Repre sentatives. He resigned to accept an appointment as captain on Gen. Prentiss' staff. At the battle of Shiloh, when General Prentiss was taken prisoner, Captain Binmore maJe his escape, saving valuable papers. He was assigned then to General Herbert's staff as assistant adjutant-general. At the close of the war Mr. Binmore took up law reporting on the Chicago Tribune. For the last 30 years he has practiced law and written and compiled various legal works. LINGERING COLD. Withstood Other Treatment But Quickly Cured by Chamberlain's Cough ' Remedy.
