THE SIXTY-THIRD CONGRESS.
This body bus written its own his
tory. It has also written some notable
chapters in the history of this country.
No ConRress has been charged with
more important matters for these fifty
years past. There were vital questions
to deal with; and the Sixty-third Con
gress dealt with thesequestions with due
and intelligent consideration. No hasty,
ill-advised legislation was placed on the
statute books. Radical and far-reach
ing laws were enacted, but this was
not done hurriedly and unadvisedly.
The purpose of the men who shaped its
legislation was not merely to unmake
laws, but to muke laws, and not merely
to carry out party pledges and policies
because they were party pledges and
policies, but because the measures
adopted were for the best interests of
all the people.
The interests involved in the legisla
tion of the body were not only vital;
they were delicate, and not to be dis
posed of summarily. No one of those
questions was more difficult than the
currency question. The United States
has never had a fixed banking system.
Of course, we have had from the be
ginning the dollar as our monetary unit,
and silver and gold were money when
bearing the stamp of the United States
mint; but the matter of paper currency
had hardly passed beyond the experi
mental stage up to the beginning of the
Civil War. After the Civil War the
syBtem so long in operation came into
being, not hecuuse it was admittedly
tho best for all time, but because it
mot an emergency and promised per
manency for u season at least. Hut
thiH system was wrong in principle, and
oven dnngcroua in its possibilities, its
basis was not gold, often as this was said
to bo the case, but the indebtedness of
tho National Government. Its founda
tion was national bonds. As these in
creased, the currency expanded; as
these grew less, the currency con
tracted. The only possibility under the
system for more money was for the na
tion to issue more bonds.
The new system of reserve bunks
may be somewhat complicated, but it
at least broadens the basis of onr national
currency, and at the same time pre
serves the supposed safety of the old
system. We do not believe that any
legislation of the Sixty-third Congress
was ns important as this. The down
ward revision of the tariff and the en
actment of the income tax law, impor
tant as they were, do not take rank
with this. If the system were liberal
ised so us to conserve more directly and
equitably tho needs of the nation’s
farming intersts, and if it were di
vested of much of the red tape which
now cumbers its operations, it would
bo vastly more effective as a measure
of relief in times of financial stress
such as this country is now experi
encing.
The late Congress, however, stands
indicted for its failure to pass the ship-
purchase bill, so vital to the interests
of the South, and for its refusal to en
act a suitable law providing for a sys
tem of rural credits. These delinquen
cies the people resent-the farmers of
the South in particular—and with
righteous cause.
Congress was in session twenty-two
monlhB out of the twenty-four.
TWO YEARS OF THE WILSON AD
MINISTRATION.
Years ago, so the story goes, when
the |trustees of I’rinceton University
were looking out for a man as presi
dent of that institution, they asked
tho opinion of Grover Cleveland.
"Woodrow Wilson would make you a
good president," answered Mr. Cleve
land. “He would make a good Gover
nor of New Jersey," continued tho ex-
President; "in fact, he would make a
good President of the United States."
This opinion of the comparatively un
known professor in the New Jersey
college, expressed by Grover Cleveland,
has been fully justified by two years of
Mr. Wilson's administration.
He may make mistakes in the future,
as it may be readily admitted that he
has in the past, but it is safe to believe
and expect that a man who has shown
such mastery over himself, and such
mastery over others, and such mastery
of public questions, will come to the
end of his four years in the White
House without marring his administra
tion with any grave errors.
That which inspires faith in Presi
dent Wiis n is his absolute honesty and
independence, reinforced by a stalwart
cou-age. He is a Democrat in the
broadest sense, and not a mere parti
san. His administration has been as
far removed as possible from factional
divisions in his own party. He has
worn nobody’s collar nor done obeisance
to men of wealth nor to great politi
cians. He has acknowledged no boss,
such as Mark Hanna was to the la-
Mld-McK: nley. andasot he r Repu h ii-
GEORGIA RONDS SOLD TO A
GEORGIAN.
Mr. Asa G. Candler has bought $3,-
525,500 worth of the bonds of Georgia,
taking the entire issue placed on the
market by Gov. Slaton to refund a like
amount of the State’s bonded debt.
The significant fact about this trans
action is not that Mr. Candler is able
to take over these bonds at a better
rate for the State than was offered hy
any other bidder, but that Georgia
bonds amounting to such a large sum
can be purchased by a Georgian. And
a list of the bidders shows that Mr.
Candler was not the only Georgia party
who wiih able and willing to buy Geor
gia securities.
This is the first time, we believe,
since the Civil War that Georgia bonds
have been bought exclusively by a
Georgian, and affords gratifying proof
that our State is not in the hopeless
bonds of poverty.
Money is unpleasantly scarce with
many of us yet, but maybe it will come
our way some time. Till then let us
not envy those who have it, nor grow
cynical because our purses are tempor
arily empty.

A Wonderful Healing Influence in
Kidney Troubles.
A year and a half ago I was taken
with a severe attack of kidney trouble
that pained me to such nn extent that
morphine had to be given me. Was at
tended by a doctor who prunouneed it
as stone in the bladder and prescribed
l.ithia Water. I took l.ithia Water and
Tablets for some time and received no
relief from them. I stopped taking
medicines for some time. Later, hav
ing some Swamp-Rool in the house, 1
decided to try it. and felt much re
lieved. While taking the second bottle
I commenced to pass gravel in urine
until I had passed at least half a dozen
or more, and have not suffered the
slightest since—and have in all taken
one bottle and a half and feel very
grateful to Swamp-Root.
Yours very truly.

Do You Continually Teel Slug

If you do, it is probably caused by
your liver. When the liver fails to per
form its functions properly, the sys

matter that weighs you down mentally
arid physically.
The liver gets out of order very easi

usually results. Don’t delay if you feel
badly. You knowingly lay yourself

yourself to continue in a run-down con
