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 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.
