While the Democrats have differences among themselves as to some of the rules re- ported, they are able to settle them, and will settle them without Reed's interference, There is very little talk now sbout the extra session being a short one. Tnere is so much to be done that near- ly all the members have about come to the conclusion that it is better to stay through the fall than to be compelled to stay here through the entire sum- mer next year. Something has got to be done to increase the revenues of the Government, in order to avoid a big deficit at the end of the present fiscal year, and it is likely that after the repeal bill is disposed of President Cleveland will have some reccommen- dation to make on the subject.
