A SPECIAL SESSION OF CONGRESS. Tbe President has a proclamation convening Congress in Extra Session on August 7, the purpose of which is to improve tbe financial situation by repealing the silver purchasing act. If Mr. Cleveland really believes that the Sherman Act is an "unwise law" and that it is the cause of the "distrust and apprehension" which pervade financial mters he has performed nothing but hiB dutv. After the Sherman law has been repealed the country will awaken to the fact that I he patient has been treated for the wrong disease. The trouble lies in the industrial situation. The primary CBnse is the threat which hangs over our manufacturing enterprises that t.he protective poliay to which their business has been adjusted will be torn up root and branch. This threat and uncertainty as to tbe future tariff policy have done more to "cripple our merchants, stops the wheels of manufactures, bring distress and priVBtion to our farmers and withhold from our workingmen the wages of labor" than any silver legislation that has been enacted. If Congress, when it meets, assures the country by resolution that there will be no meddling with the present tariff, it will do more to restore confidence and set the wheels i-f industry moving than simply a repeal of the silver purchasing act.
TEE Toledo Commercial commenting on the wool situation, says: Practically a great industry of the United States is destroyed. There has been as yet no change in the laws, but the fears of a change by a Democratic administration of the government has annihilated the wool-growing industry of the country. Once there WHS a large wool market in this city. It no longer exists. There is practically no sale for tliBt once valuable product. But while a great industry of the country has been annihilated, and while England is rejoicing because of the destruction of the woolgrowing industry of the United States, the Democratic promise that there should be cheap^clothing for the people is not realized. We give to the English provinces a monopoly of the wool-grow-ing business, and at the same time we must continue to pay for the clothing wo wear ad high prices as ever.
IN 1873 the world's output of gold was S0f,200,000, while the output of silver was only $81,800,000. In 1891 the world's total gold product only 3120,159,000, while its silver product had increased to 8180,174,000. Thus we see that while the gold of the world exeeded tbe Bilver in 1873 by 814,-100,000 the silver in 1891 exceeded the gold by some $60,000,000. In eighteen years gold production has increased 31 per cent. and silver production has increesed 128 per cent. These facts show the causes for the cheapening of the white m-tnl in the markets of the world. Tbe downward tendency of silver lias been sunply in obedience to the inexorable law of supply and demand.
WRIATEVEIT may be the grievance of the students at the State Normal School they are guilty of insubordination, lieftising to submit to the powers that lw and to all lawful rules places them in t'ni position of intractable pupils. And these intractable^ are to become the teachers of the rising generation! Can tliey expect to teach discipline in the common schools when they themselves refuse to be taught discipline? These BMidents are incorrigibles and should be sent to Flainlield. It iB a Reform School they need, and not a Normal School.
TIIK JOURNAL congratulates WM. A IIuff on his prospective appointment as ono of the watches of the treasury. It is to be hoped that his acceptance of this position will not in the least obscure the one best act of his life, r.nd that was when he voted for Benjamin Harrison for President, for the reason, as he suited, that he was not in sympathy with Grover's views on the pension question.
THE Kansas City Journal Buys: •'Wh»n tariff reform gets fully under heiidway labor troubles will become more numerous than they have ever baen. Workingmen will be striking for a return to McKinley schedules.

BLOOD-SUCKIXG BATS.
Differing Stories About the Vam piroo of South Amorica.

Ikanfferoui.
Ever since the South American continent was discovered, especially that part of it, lying between the Amazon and Orinoco rivers, travelers have come from there with wonderful tales of the vampires, or, as they call them, bloodsucking bats. As a fact, little is known about these pests, says the New York Tribune. That there are bloodsucking bats which feed uot only on the blood of man but also animals is an undoubted fact, and though the writer himself has never been bitten by one, he has. while traveling in the interior of British Guiana, seen Indians and ponies that had undoubtedly been bitten by these pests. In the case of a man attacked the toe or nose Is the point punctured, while animals arc liable to be bitten anywhere. How tho bat does its work has not been made clear, for no man has yet awakened while being operated on by one of these bats, despite the fact that considerable blood Is extracted and more or less loss of blood takes place after the operation. It is probable that the bat hovers during the operation rather than rests on the body. The rapid vibration of the soft wings probably also has a soothing effect upon the skin of the part operated on.
The blood-suckers belong to only two or three species, and where cer these are found there are also many others whose food is only fruit or insects, or both. The most natural mistake about the bats which are innocent or preying on man or beast is the common supposition that vampyrus spectrum is a bloodsucker. The stretch of wings of this bat frequently reaches three feet, and It has a most ferocious aspcct, with enormously large and pointed canine teeth. It is perfectly certain that in most parts of British Gualna this bat is only a fruit eater and is a serious pest to fruit growers. Bates and Edwards, who traveled much in that country, vouch for its hartnlessness, and the writer could never hear of a case where one of these giant bats was even suspected of being a blood-sucker. Wallace, however, gives a different account. "The vampires are especially plentiful in the Amazon valley. Their carniverous propensities were once discredited, but are too well authenticated. Ilorses and cattle are often bitten, and we found them in the morning covered with blood, and repeated attacks weaken and ultimately destroy them. Somo persons are especially subject to tho attacks of these bats, and as native huts are never sufficiently close to keep them out, those unfortunate persons are obliged to sloop completely muffled up In order to avoid being made seriously 111 or even losing their lives."
Wallace, in saying that "the huts are never sufficiently close to keep them out," evidently uses the word vampire as a generic term and does not mean the vampyrus spectrum, for that bat would find no space large enough to let him into even the loosely built huts of the natives. It is this slipshod way of using the word vampire that brings trouble to many a useful bat The writer has been in a house where every precaution was taken to keep out bats which would have been a perfect blessing in the rooms, as they would have cuvighi hundreds of mosquitoes.
ONLY SALVINI KNEW IT.
No American oil Board Could Recite "The Star Spangled Runtier." The lack of knowledge on tho part of tho average A merlcan of patriotic literature and national lyrics is aptly Illustrated bv a .?tory told by Senator George ifandy Staith at asocial session in llarrlsburg one day recently, a Philadelphia Becord man being present. Senator Smith had as his guest on the occasion the well-known actor, Alexander Salvlnl, who was visiting tho state capital and who was the hero of the story. "When I came over from my annual trip to Europe last summer I made the journey across the ocean In the steamer Now York," said the senator. "Mr. Salvlni was one of the passengers. During tho voyage an entertainment for the benefit of the Seamen's home was arranged, and everybody volunteered to take part la It. The people who managed the affair wanted some one to recite 'The Star Spangled Banner,' but came to the conclusion to strike it off the programme, when, after a thorough search among the American passengers, not a single one could be found who knew the words of the famous song. Mr. Salvlni learned of the difficulty, aod, to the surprise of everybody on board, told them he would fill that part of the bill. Herecited the poem with great effect and knew every word of it. He had learned it, he said, as soon as he was able to speak the BngllBh language."
Not Up on Art- Topics.
The "Saunterer" in the Boston Budget tells of a "grind" on a certain wealthy pork packer in the Ilub, who if known among his friends as an admirable financier but a total failure as a social success. Although his friends real izc that his education has not been such as to fit him for cultured conversation with the bon ton, yet Mr. X.'s money is a powerful lever, and it pries open the doors of society sufficiently wide to let his corpulent body in. It was at the house of Judge Macdonald one night that the pork packer's knowledge of art was clearly shown. Mr. X. had been lionized by the lovers of his money bags and was in high spirits. At last the judge took him in hand and led him round to look at tho pictures. Teniers, Wouvermann, Rembrandt—all had no charms for him and ho soon preiv tired. But as he was going out of the door he looked back and caught sight of "Hlstine Madonna." tie clasped his host's arm. "Ah," he said, moving nearer to tho picture, "now that's tvhe.t I call a work of art. Mrs. Macdonald and the baby, of course?"
