not only insists that Ids former
charges against Tifton and her

readers of tho News that wo read the
article and sanctioned it by our si

Now, wc pronounce this charge

Extra Hussion.
Much is being.said for mid against
tlm calling of an extra session of con
gress after, the inauguration of presi
dent-elect Cleveland, 4th of March
next, to begin the work of democrat
ie reformation and relief as indicated
in the national platform and the can
didacy of Grover Cleveland.
The New York World, which did
more to elect and is considered near--
er to the president-elbct than any
other paper in the country, is strong
ly in favor of an extra session, in
fact considers one absolutely necessa
ry, and assigns till following reasons:
“Till regular session does not nicel
for more than a ycar*-u|fil Decem
ber, 1893. A month or more is al
ways consumed in tlm organization,
the appointment of committees and
the holiday recess.
“Without an extra session it is al
most a mathematical certainly that
the now lari IT will not be completed
before-tlm summer of 1894, if then.
That is the very eve of the next con
gressional e’eotion.
“Is it not almost a travesty upon
the popular government tlmt relief
demanded and reforms required hy
tiie polls, hy un electoral and popu
lar majority unparalielled in twenty
years, should bo delayed until it is
time to elect another congress?
“Considering the enormous inter
eats involved and tiie political dan
ger in submitting to tiie judgment
of tiie voters a new law of this clmr-
actor immediately after its passage;
and before Its operations cun be fair
ly judged, it is not impossible that
Ihe new tariff would be delayed un
til the seooniiseBslon of the next con-
gress—tlmt is, Hie spring of 1896.
"Altogether is ii. not wiser, is ii
not surep, is it not really going slow
er IS the sense of acting with due
deliberation, to begin thia herculean
work in an extrusession, say In April
or May, in order to finish it before
1896.
The World thinks that the verdict
of Hu: three elections in 1890,1891
and 189a demand the repeal of tlm
McKinley not and tlio substitution
of a reform tariff. Ami it believe*
tlmt the sooner fve begin tlio more
time, care, thought, and wisdom we
can give to tho b.-k.”
