How win Carleton Wrote His Poems.

DeHC6r Tribune.
Under what circumstances was your
poem, over the Hills to the Poor House,
written?"
''While at school | was interested in
visiting the almshOuSe and chatting with
the paupers. Among the acquaintances
pie whose children had abandoned them
in their old age. The father told me his
story. The details were not, of course,
the same as related in the poem, but in
them was the idea afterward elaborated"
did it not have a strong moral effect?''
1T did, it was published in the Hdr-
Der'S Weekly at the time, with illustra-
tiOns. In two months friend wrote me
that the verses had produced on him such
an effect that he Immediately sent check
for 800 to his parents, whom he thought
had been by him too much neglected. |
have heard of cases where people have
been taken out of the pOOrhOuse by peni-
tent children. In this connection might
instance the case of an old man who
died a pauper at Cleveland. When his
satchel was opened and its meager con-
tents examined copy of the poem was
found carefully rolled up. From these
and. numerous other affecting incidents L
believe that the poem has done some
good. Betsy and / are Out has come
back to me at numerous times. When

Gently the proprietor came up to me, and
in very demonstrative manner, told me
that those verses were the means of re-
uniting himself and his wife,"

why is it so many suffer from rheuma-
tism, aches, pains, kidney diseases, liver
complaints, heart affections, etc.? 1t is
simply because they will not come and be
healed. All disease begin from want of
iron in the blood. This want of iron makes
the blood thin, watery and impure. I'M
pure blood carries weakness and distress
to every part of the body. Supply this lack
of iron by using Browns Iron Bitters and
you will soon find yourself enjoying per-
feet freedom from aches, pains and gen.
eral i'll health.

The voice of the Bankers Association,
il is to be feared, will not have much
weight in deciding the currency question
now before the country. And the reason
of this is apparent; The 100 banking
institutions of the country are not agreed,
and even the Bankers Association would
have great difficulty in passing a vote as
to what should be done for our currency.

INsnn
state Treasurer Speer, it seems, mas ue-
termined to abandon the custom when ne
and his predecessors have followed oil
,avin.e the interest on the bonds OF the
state. and the principal of matured bonds
in New York. In an interview IN the AT
lanta Consultation he says that he ana
the Governor made a thorough eNamlna-
ton of the law on the subject and failed
to find any authority for the custom. Inc
contract of the bondholders with the
state requires that they shall be paid
their interest and principal in New York
This contract appears on the lace oil the
bond. Heretofore the interest has been
maid at the Chemical Bank in New ork.
The greater part of the bondholders re-
side in New York, or in the neigh0orhood
orthat city, and the custom which has pre-
vailed was, therefore, a great convenience
to them. When the Governor ana treas
urer became satisfied that there was no
law for the custom. a bill was introduced
i'm the Legislature which authorized the
PAYMENTS TO he made in New York. The
Legislature. however, was too busy with
crossroads legislation to give it the at
tention that it deserved. Nothing was
done to enable the Treasurer to carry out
the states contract with the bondholders.
The annual payments amount to some
thing over 100000. and the Treasurer
will not take the responsibility of trans
hitting this money to New \ FORK and nav
ing it paid out there. He will pay the
bondholders their interest and their bonds
as they mature, at his office in Atlanta.
This failure to comply with the Suaran-
tee i'm the bonds will probably create the
impression among the bondholders that
the state is not dealing fairly with them.
The question whether contract convict
labor shall be abolished is to be acted on
in the coming election III New ork. y
big effort is to be made to abolish the con-
tract system. If the effort succeeds the
tax PAYERS will have an additional burden
to bear and the conyicts will have their
punishment increased, because enforced
! idleness viii he punishment. The state
prison of New York is now selt-support-
Ing. If the people know what is best for
them they will continue the contract sys-
