THE idtliSHACSK,
The great and only Grover lias sent
iiia message to congress, and an able
document it is. He declares his opin¬
ion in plain and concise terms and
gives ample argument for relief to all
classes. He is positively in favor of
placing Silver on a parity with gold and
of equal value in the payment of all
debts. The message says.
“The knowledge In business circles
among our own people that our own
government cannot make its fiat equiv¬
alent to intrinsic value, nor keep inferi¬
or money on a parity with superior
money, by its own independent efforts,
has resulted in such alack of confidence
at home, in the stabilities of currency
values that capital refuses its aid to
pew enterprises while millions are act¬
ually withdrawn from the channels of
trade and commerce to become idle and
unproductive in the hands of timid
owners.”
Now, is this not a direct declaration
in favor of silver being made equal in
intrinsic value to golo? That Mr.
Cleveland is a true and warm friend to
the working man cannot be refuted in
the face of this utterance from his mes
sage,
“One of the greatest statesmen our
country lias known, speaking more
than fifty years ago, when a derange¬
ment. of the currency had caused com¬
mercial distress, said : “The very man
of all others who has the deepest inter¬
est in sound currency and who suffers
most by mischievous legislation in
money matters, is the man who earns
his daily bread by his dai’y toil.”
Those words are as pertinent now as
on the day they were uttered, and
ought to impressively remind us that a
failure in the discharge of our duty at
this time must especially injure those
of o«r countrymen who labor, and who,
because of thoir number and condition,
are entitled to the most watchful care
of their government,”
It is an admitted fact that ff over liv¬
ing mar. had a hobby that tariff reform
is Mr. Cleveland's pet scheme, yet, in
bis generous paper he gives utterance
to these words:
“While tariff reform has lost nothing
of its immediate and permanent impor¬
tance and must in the near future en¬
gage the attention of congress, it has
seemed to me that the financial condi¬
tion of the country should at once and
before all other subjects he considered
by your honorable body.”
But in the face of all this indisputable
evidence you may still listen for the
frogs to croak and fov the kickers to
bowl “Cleveland is a gold-bug!” But
when you hear such assertions from
these big mouthed pore-heads just
pticlf this under their noses and hear
them squeal:
“I earnestly recommend the prompt
repeal of the provisiens of the act pass¬
ed July 14, 1890 authorizing the pur¬
chase of silver bullion, and that other
legislative action may put, beyond all
doubt, or mistake the intention and the
ability of the government to fulfil its pe¬
cuniary obligations in money universal¬
ly recognized by all civilized countries.
[Signed.] Guoveu Cleveland.

A LARGE ONE.
AS HE1.ATBD BTJUIERIEFCARTER
A hunting party, composed of Sheriff
Carter, Ed Johnson and Dr. McNeal,
has recently returned from the chase
and “still hunt” away up in Alaculsa
Valley on Doogan mountain.
These three Nimrodians are exceed¬
ingly voluble about matters and things
pertaining to their extensive hunting
excursion.
Dr. Me.Veal is perfectly enthusiastic
over the trip; Ed Johnsan has given up
the idea of emigrating t* the “wild and
wooly west” for fear of missing the op¬
portunity of taking another such hunt,
and Sam Carter says that Tood Walker
can lay Nancy Hanks or the Flying
machine in the shade any day as far as
speed goes. left here they
When these gentlemen
had an enviable reputation for truth
and veracity but we seriously fear their
record may now stand a chance of be¬
ing impaired at some time in tbe fut¬
ure, certainly so if they make many
more expeditions to Doogan mountain.
Upon their arrival in the beautiful
valley of Alaculsa, the party was joined
by Messrs. Marion Kendrick, Lorenzo
Doutliiit, Sam Higdon, Tood Walker
and his seventeen hounds.
Ever eager for the excitement of the
“drive” Tood Walker pulled off his
shoes, procured a gun and waded into
the turbulent Connasauga and was so
lucky as to hag a large number of loud
mouthed fr"gs of the sterner persua¬
sion during their first night out.
Upon hearing Sheriff Carter’s loud
praise of our friend Tood Walker s fleet
ness your scribe became interested and
curious, too, to a certain extent, and
taking the officer to a secluded spot we
gained his confidence and learned the
following facts, which must be “Sub
Rosa.”
“Sam,” said we, “tell us why you
think Tood is so swift on foot?”
‘'Well," said he, “on our third day
out we were awakened bright and early
by the tooting of Tood’s horn and the
musical solos of his beautiful pack of
hounds, and lie made the announce¬
ment that we would make a “drive” for
the antlered monarch of the mountains.
We then proceeded to make ready for
the chase and the entire party being
tolerably footsore from our long tramp
of the previous day no one but Tood
would agree to go on the “drive” and
it was finally agreed that all the party
would make a stand except Tood who
would go with the hounds on the
“driye” and if possible, to “flush” the
hunted deer.
“From a loud blast, from Tood’s horn
the hounds every one bounded to his
side and he and the dogs were soon Wt
to our sight among the rugged rocks
and thick under growth of the moun¬
tains.
“Some thirty-odd minutes after their
disappearance the deep baying of the
hounds greeted our anxious ears and
soon we seen a large buck, with horns
that must have been over six feet wide,
come boundidg from behind the moun¬
tain with Tood about fifty yaids in the
rear and the hounds close in his wake.
“As a natural consequence the party
from Spring Place was completely un¬
manned seeing Tood ahead of the
hounds and so near his bnckship and
not a gun was fired aor a sound made,
nor a man stirred, nor a leaf stirred,
but all stood looking breathlessly on
and the deer, Tood and the hounds
were far behind the mountain in a
jiffy.
“But not long did we have to debate
this remarkable agility of our young
friend for they soon re-appeared from
♦lie same point as at first and this time
Tood and the deer were side by side
with their tongues hanging out anu
running as if their very lives Uepemletf
on the race.
“Now, it is putting it mildly to say
we were thunderstruck to gaze on this
amazing spectacle anil we simply stood
aghast till Tood, the deer and the dogs
again disappeared around the moun¬
tain.”
‘‘It is useless for me to state that
when they again passed my “stand”
that Tood was about fifty yards ahead
of the almost exhausted deer and gain¬
ing at every jump”

“Faithful toiler, thy work all done,
A pure life and a crown now won,

Rest from all sighings and tears,
Rest home through God’s endless years—

working admirably, and says that
he ia answering hundreds o' let¬
ters daily, giving desired informa¬
tion to parties who contemplate a
visit to Chicago, as to routes, rates
hotels and boarding hou-es. Be¬
sides the number of hotels in Chi
cago, OI which iie has a list, he has
a j g0 obtained, through reliable in
formation, the address of lilt ten or
twenty boarding houses, which he
is furnishing to the patrons of the
Western and Atlantic railroad
upon application.
IJe has issued a neat jittie circu¬
lar giving important world’s fair

any one upon application.
It looks now as though the rail¬
roads had determined to maintain
tli3 rates as named, and will have a
war ot schedules instead of a war
of rates. Mr. Harman says that
this is the best wav to accommo¬
date the people, by giving them
quick and reliable schedules mid
ullowing the roaus to receive a liv¬
ing rate out of the world’s fair bus
