I was ruminating upon the .presi dents message and have come to the conclusion that perhaps 1 am the only reading man in all the country who does not understand the ques tion. The trouble is I read both sides and have got all tangled up. If a man wishes to preserve his peace of mind and his self conceit he should read only one side of politics or reli- i gion. 1 his may make him wrong in his path, but he is more contented, and more zealous. He can just rip around and raise Cain in politics and he can go t blind lor his church and his preacher. An intelligent friend who is just from Washington told me the other day that Mr. Cleveland was the grand impersonation of -the national government; that he was greater than parties or platforms and would run the machine independent of all restraints. "If," said he, "Grover Cleveland should die to morrow the country would go to ruin in thirty days." " Another friend said the message was an abortion and Mr. Cleveland was a huge mistake the most overrated, nian in the nation. But I am not going to worry about it. If there are not enough brains among the statesmen at Wash ington to fix up this money business j 1 can't help it So let it rip. I read the -messag on my way home from ' the poslofnce and when I reached the' piazz 1 where Mrs. Arp was sitting I, said : ' ' ' j 'Here is a letter, a message from the president, would you like to read itr ; "No," she said. "Did you bring me any letters fiom the boys ?" j "No ic," said I. "b am afraid they are sick," she j said. "They haven't written for. three or four w-eeks. They never i write when they are sick."' j There it is. : A letter from a son pr daughter who is far away is a big- j gef thing to a mother than Grover : Cleveland's message. Everywhere all over the land the "old folks at home" are waiting for letters from their absent children. I have seen them sitting on the piazza or by the fireside with a shadow . of sadness on their faces and as they look dreamily away I know what they are thinking about. There is nothing sadder in life than the separation of aged parents from their children. Dr. Samuel lohnson said : "I have always looked upon it as the worst condition ol man's destiny that most persons ' nappy 111 eacu oilier s stjptny. 1 i-j l i . if this be true concerning the friends and companions of our youth, how much more touchingly does it apply to the aged ones whose chil dren have removed far away from the old homestead. Love and money is about all their earthly capital and ' from day to day and week to week they look for letters kind letters, loving letters from the absent ones whom perhaps they will never see again, but hope to meet yes, hope to meet on the other side. Letters from their children are the next best thing to their presence, and the children ought to write to them r... :i I 1 ' tru:i- I oneu -wiiLc icguiariy. vv 1111c x woo ''ruminating about this I beard the sweet strains, of that pretty song, I Sent a Letter to My Love." and then ind , I got to thinking what a' blessed con I trivance these letters were, the daily - mail, the government post, the swift messages that like Murcury speed oyer sea and land to comiort us. Memory went back to the time when I was away from home for a long long year and how happy I was when side slipped into the other and it was a letter came a letter , from home, then sealed with a wafer or with seal especially when there was money in mg wax. The poorer people sealed it. Heard a college bov sav the ntlipr rlav thai a Wtpr fmm linmp t-- with a litt,e money in it was the best Ipttpr ani thp.W mnnpv in ih money world. Parents are sure to write to them and send a little money when WILSON t'ley can, and so when the parents grow old and feeble the children should pay them back and let no sad memories make furrows- on their brow. I would plead with the bovs everywhere to comfort -V. their old mothers with kind and loving letters' the opd old mothers who have nursed them and comforted tlrem, and took Iheir part in all their trou bles never let a mother feel the truth of the proverb, " How sharper than a serpent's tooth is it to have a , thankless child." I have heard of ! boys going- away to the far west to seek their fortune and not writing a line back home for years. I have seen aged parents who had not heard from their boy so long'lh'ey had giv- ' -en him up for dead. ' They had writ- ten to where he was last but had re-t t ceived no answer. But he was not dead and in one case came homeaf ter eleven years absence came hack ' and comforted them for he had sown his wild oats ami reaped the crop . and was tired. Hoys, don't do-that way, please don't. Write letters, i write from every place, your letters are treasures, they are read and re read. I know where is a bundle now, ; a 'big bundle tied around -with' tape, and it gets bigger as the years roll j on. If the writers should get killed j or die from sickness the tape will be j untied and the letters read again, while a tear drops here and there on the open leaf. :'.-' Wiiting letters -regularly to kin dred and friends reacts upon the wri ter and makes him belter, gentler, kinder. They take but; little time and cost only two cents to send and are really .the most valuable things for the cost that can be found in the world. A good loving home letter j that costs only ten minutes in time and 2 cents in money is worth ten dollars to any mother who lives her. child. I The mails are a blessed privilege, a,nd one that w-as almost unknown to our fathers. One hundred years ago there were but seventy-five postufhees in the United States, now there near er 75,000. It is not generally -known that Ben Franklin was the first post master general in this country, and held his office for, twenty-one years under the British trovernn.ent. One mail a week was considered quite enough between the large cities, 1 re- member when one mail a week was the allowance iu our country towns.' By and by we got it twice a week, and felt our consequence. ..Four times a day we have it now in Cartersville. I remember when the sound of the. stacre horn :is the m;iil roach came over the distant hill was the most in spiring music that ever greeted the small boys ears. "Oh, if I could only drive that team and crack that long lashed whip, and blow that bu gle how happy I, would be." It was the ultimatum of niv hopes, -and my ambition.. I remember when a book came out that was: called "Ten Years Among the Mail Boys" and it had pictures representing the "Pony Ex press" that Wells Fargo had estab lished from St. Louis overland to California. They had hundreds of boys, tough, haruy, light wood boys, weighing from seventy-five to ninety pounds, and each had to ride 100 miles in a canter in twenty-fuur hours and carry twenty pounds of letters in his saddle bags. Every en miles his mount ing was changed, but he was not re lieved, nor was he rested "until he had made half his journey. He had to eat his lunch on the rly, and at the stations he was lilttd from his pony to a fresh 'one and was off with a word and a bound. Those pictures. nearly ran me wild and I longed to go west- and ride the express and have the Commanche Indians take a crack at me and miss. : What a change his come over the world. The English postal system is only 250 vears old. Before that the kings had special messengers to carry letters, but the people had nothing save the passing travellers. Horses had been substituted for footmen. That was the only change since the days when the prophet wrote, "How beautilul upon the mountains. are the feet of those who bring itlad:t!dings," and Solomon said : "As cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country." If such rude contrivances were lovely then how ought we to prize our privileges now Cheaper and cheaper is our mail service made as civilization advances. I remember w hen letters' cost us 6, 12, 184 and 25 cents, according to the distance they had been carried. A letter from Arkansas, or Texas, or New York was 25 cents, and they were never prepaid. Many a time while I was the pastmaster's clerk a poor lellow would enquire for a letter and if there was one he would look at it, and turn it over and hande .it awhile, and say : "Well, it's from Jack, I know, and, I would like to take it home the best in the world, but you will have to put it back and kep it until I get the money." Sometimes he would borrow it from a neighbor and take it home, and the next Sunday all would gather in to hear what Jack said about "The Arkansaw." j There were no envelopes then and no paper but foolscap. This was a long paper and was called by that name because the watermark was a cap and bells. The letter was writ ten on one side and then the sheet was iblded in such a way that one mem wun sou rosin irom me pine When a letter was not sealed there . . . was no penalty if it was opened and read by anv one. and hence, it is said, came the word sincere (sine cerum) without wax and having no WILSON COUNTY.

It has long been the intention ot the Tribune to investigate one of the most interesting cases that could be found and give the truh to the world as a matter of news. Happening on the case of Mr. Geo. L'Hommedieu, the other day an investigation was made with the following very happy result : When the reporter called on Mr. L'Hommedieu at the residence of his cousin, Mr. Edward Houghtaling, 271 W. 13th St., he said r"I am 51 years of age and was born .in Hudson, N. Y. I " served . my time in the army, being corporal of Company A, 21 N. J. Volunteers. It has been about fifteen years since I noticed the first symptoms of my disease. I consult ed Dr. Allen of Yorkville, and also Dr. Pratt, since deceased. Dr. Pratt exhausted his powers in my be half and .finally told me that he could do nothing more for me. " .'Finally I was advised by Dr. Gill to go to the well-known scientist, Dr. Hamilton. He gave me a most thor ough examination and did me no good. I felt I was yrowiiig weaker everv jaVf anj went lo the Manhat tan Hospital, at 41st St. arid Park Ave , and was under treatment by Dr. Seguin. He treated me for about three months, and then told me that, I had locomotor ataxia and was beyond the aid of med ical science. I was then a complete physical wreck; all power, feeling and color had left my legs, and it was impossible for me to feel the most severe pinch or even the thrust of a needle. a'Ifmy skin was scratched there would be no flow of blood whatever, and it would take it fully sirK .weeks to heel up. In the night I would have to feel around to find my legs. My pains were excruciating and at times "almost unbearable. I would take ' large doses "of morphine to deaden the pains.. About five years ago Dr. Lewis A. Sayre of 285, 51!!, Ave,, made a trial of the French method of stretching the spine, Al though I received no benefit from this treatment I shall always feel grateful to Dr. Sayre for his great in terest and kindness. . "So severe' had my case become by this time that I could not walk without assistance, and was almost ready to give up life. I began the use of Pink Pills for Pale People in September last. I took them , rather, irregularly at first with the cold water treatment. In a very short time I was convinced that I was getting better and I began the use of the ; pills in" . earnest, taking one box every five days. "The first v' sign of . improvement was in November, 1892, when I had a rush of blood to the head and feet causing a stinging and prickling sen sation. February 22nd, 1893, was the first time in five years I had ever seen any sign of blood in my feet. From this time, on I began to im prove. My strength and appetite have gradually returned ; I now have perfect control bf my bowels, and the pains have gradually left me. I can sit and write by the hour and walk up stairs by oalancmg mysell with my hands. , Without doubt I am a new man from the '; ground up, and I have every reason to believe that I will be haleand hearty in less than six months.

Gov't Report lrwdei CONGRESS AT WORK: Seeking a Itemedy For The tils of The Body Politic FIGHT BETWEEN SILVER AND GOLD. Ta Relief Measures Proposed The Great Debate Proceeds A Remarkable Speech by Representative Bryan, of Nebraska. Auoust 15. In the House, Mr. Hutch inson, of Texas, concluded his remarks began yesterday in favor of the free coinage of silver. He attributed the Ment business depression to--the Wile and bears oi Wall street. The real eoato-oversy was not gold versus silver, but it was money against credit. Dollars could not be obtained for ia dnstrial enterprises because the dd laxa were piled up in Wall street ' Mr. Blauokard, in speaking in favor free coinage, reviewed the silver legislation of the country and quoted from both the democratic and republi can platforms, and each expressed his opinion that, if the republican plat form meant anything,' not twenty re publicans would vote for the Wilson. MIL . . . Mr. Orosvenor, of Ohio, said that it was to be regretted that the president -in his message to congress had not been so void of partisanship as he had asked the houses to be. It was unfortunate that the executive of the country, looking forward to the condition which portended violent opposition to his views, had seen fit to first appeal to partisanship and to unjustly proclaim to the people that the present peril of the country grew out of the legislation of the republican party. , The difficulty in which the country now found itself was attributable to the fact that the people feared the tinkering with the protective tariff by the democratic party. He warned the democrats that they must come to gether on this .question. The republi cans could be relied upon to do their duty. This was their country, and they could not afford to put it in a : hole. Mr. Hall, democrat, of Missouri, spoke in favor of a greater volume of currency and of the free coinage of silver. The. present financial condi tion put the people of the United States absolutely at the'mercy of men dealing in large financial transactions , in the United States or in any other nation with which he held commercial relations. In the Senate, Mr. Voorhces, chair man of the finance comraittee, report ed back the " bill to enable national banks to issue circulation to the par value of the bonds deposited by them. The bill, he said, had not only the endorsement of the committee on finance and of the secretary of the treasury, but a- similar measure had passed the senate unanimously last" session. II Would authorize au in crease of S19.0OO.0O0 of the circulation of national banks on the bonds already deposited; there was not a doubt that it would result in an increase of from forty to fifty, millions an increase of currency that would be, at this time, a solace and comfort to the people in every quarter of the United Statec An objection--from Mr. Cockrell sent the bill over until tomorrow. AvQVST 16. This has been one of the most interesting days bf the extra Besslon in the house rendered so by the remarkably brilliant speech in favor of free tJUver coinage, by Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska. Though a new. member, and only thirty-three years of fa, his speech is' admitted on all tides bo be tke greatest one heard in congress fen Tears. The house was crowded. bo4 for nearly three hours the oalenee of law makers were spell bound by his logic and eloquence. In conclusion Mr. Bryan aald: "The democratic party stands today between two conflicting forces. On the one aide stand the .corporate interests of the United States, the moneyed inter-, stt, aggregated wealth and capital faaperioua, arrogant, com passionless. They are able to subscribe magnifi cently to campaign funds. They are able to crush, with their all-pervading influence, any who may dare oppose, and to those who fawn and flatter they ean bring ease and plenty. -These de mand that the democratic party shall become the agent to execute their merciless decrees. On the other hand we see standing an unnumbered throng, those who save to the demo cratic party a name, and for whom it has assumed to speak. Work-worn yvS dusty-begrimed, they make their mute appeal and too often find their cry for help beat in vain against the ouierwalls, while others less deserving gain eady access to legislative halls. This army, vast and dally vaster grow. Intf, pleads with the , democratic party tobe its champion in this terrible con 0ioL It cannot, press its claims amid sounds of revelry; It cannot march iU phalanxes in grand parade. No gaudj banners float on the breeze. Its battlt hymn is 'Home,' Sweet Home;' its wal cry, 2quality before the law.' "Between these forces hesitating, in doubt which side to turn, yet consciouj that upon its decision must rest it$ fate, stands the democratic party, and to It standing thus come the -words oi Israel's second law giver, 'Choose y this day whom ye will serve.' Thomai Jefferson was called a demagogue. His followers were called a mob, bu dared to follow the best promptings ol his heart. , He dared - to place man above matter, humanity , above pover ty. He dared to spurn the bribes ol wealth and power and to plead th cause of the common people, and be cause of his devotion to their interest the democratic party was imvincibl whU he Uved, and because of that de retkw his memory wiU be revered, white history endures, -. - Subscribe to the Advance.
