WAsHINGTos, Dec. 4, 'S5.--When
this letter rcacaes you the forty-ninth
congress VIII lie in session. Probably
the much discussed question OF a sue
cessOr to Vice-Pres ident Hendricks
will salso have been settled; though
this is n&,cdltain. indications are
that at thea hakus OF republican sena-
tors to be hSu -night there will be a
sharp fight between the friends of Sen
ators Edmunds, Logan land Sherman.
The possibility OF either of the latter
senators being. elected to preside over
the senate is ektrsInely distasteful to
democratic coNressmen. Logan and
Sherman are Il j representative of the
bloody shirt wip&of their party. They
are both bite ectionalists eand pro-
scriptive partislAs. 1t is thought the re-
publican senator's ought at least to
choose a more Conservative member OF
| their body for pI Sliding officer. Since
republican h 10 be taken, democrat
&c senators VI 9prefer Senator Ed

Whether right or wrong" continued
the disatiected senator, sit was merely

senator might have made, but being

the house, and then some bill providing
for the succession of the cabinet Off
GERS to the presidency will have early
attention. But the great features OF
the winters session will be the silver
question, the tariff, and civil service
reform.
There is marked contrast between
the situation now and that of the week
preceding the opening of the 18th
congress. at that time represen-
tatives Carlisle, Randall, Springer
and Cox were actively engaged in a
contest for the speakership. Rival can
dldates for the positions of clerk, SER
geant-at-arms, door keeper, house post
master, etc, were busy with their can
vases. Each arriving cOngressm an
was buttonhOled. Now Mr.. Carlisle is
reelected without opposition. Mr.. Cox
is on duty in tar away Turkey. Mr..
Springer is enthusiastic over his plan
for revising the house rules, and the
distinguished head of the appropria-
tions committee is devOting his time to
financial literature, at his quiet home
on capitol hill.
There is era lual removal of the re-
publican clerks in the departments here.
Men and women have drawn salaries
month after month in Washington I'M
der past administration without work
ing for them. Old department records
will show this. L the people knew
how many worthless clerks they have
supported here, without receiving
any work in return for their mon
ey, they would be antOnished. The
cleaning out lie slow, but sure. Almost
| every day some of them go from each
department.

"A blizzard from the polar re
gion struck here Saturday morning
bringing with it snow and by no
means a desirable air. So say the
oldest settlers. If it continues for
few more days there will be dread
full havoc among the siwne. Some
have already killed their hogs and
others are now making preparations
to kill.
We fear that we will have a
dull christmas. We hardly ever
hear it mentioned. The Sunday
school at Choate's creek is making
preparations for a christmas tree
and Sunday school concert christ
mas eve night. We are glad TO
learn that there is something on
foot to break the dull monotOny OF
the past season. We hope to hear
of 9th er preparations for christmas
trees and concerts ere the 10Th rolls

AS a specific cure for transient or

marvellous cures. Among them is Mr..
Shields, OF lakewood, Texas, who had
piles for forty years. He had utterly
despaired OF being helped by medical
aid, abandoned all labor, and the past
year was subject to fearful spasms, by
which his body was drawn into contor-
tions. On one occasion of his suffer-
ings, Col. Manning, a friend and dis
tinguished citizen, happened to be pres
ent, sent for the c. Q. Q. medicine, and
it was applied, giving instant relief.

but passed through our village last
Thursday with a fine drove of cat
tie. They were going towards Pu-
laski and have not been heard of
since (the cattle). Guess they are
into beef by this time.
The good citizens of the Sd
and 4th districts have had the
pleasure of staying in your town for
the biggest part of the last two
weeks-that is, large number of
them. Among them was your cor
respondent and l think it will not
be amfss to tell something about
our stay with your kind people.
The first thing we did after secur-
ing a boarding house was to visit
the CITIZEN office and while there
we found that the CITIZEN corps
was as nice and clever as their pa
Ger indicates them to be. There
were seven o. eight of US all persis-
tently inquisitive in asking what
everything was and what it was for
a1d there was definite answer to
every question $50 far as we know.
The Ethiopian who turns the press
asked one of our boys who was
standing near him to walk over and
raise a window that was opposite
from where he was standing. The
visitor thought he would be polite
and walk over, but just as he got
within three or four feet of the
window there was something took
| him about the middle Of his abdo-
men and knocked him back against
a candle and singed off all the hair
on one side of his head. He says
you are very clever, but you keep a
negro and mule in your Office to
| drive a fellow out when you get tir-
ed of him. Then we retired to our
boarding house and went to bed
and were soon in a sound slumber.
We might have been sleeping until
now as far as we know but there
was a heavy jar struck the house
and everybody thought there was
an earthquake; but we were reliev-
ed when we heard some one hollow
out for a light so that he might find
his way and found it to be Bully
Hammonds. He had fallen down
the second fight of stairway of our
boarding house. 1t is not Decessa-
ry for US to tell why we were in
town. But we viii answer the
question through the CITIZEN that
has been asked several times. That
is, will the noted Jones feud cause
neighbors to fall out and be a gen
eral stir up? We think not; every
body seems to be in good humor.
There was a time when we thought
it would bring other parties in but
now everything is as merry as a
marriage bell.
Hog killing is the order of the
day and as winter is near we will
soon be ready to sit back and eat
jennie cakes.
Ole OF W. R. Jones' mules got
all of its feet hung in a crack in the

Investigation showed that both these

mercury, and for quite time. II tn ey

The Presidents Message,

1t is an unusually long and
strong document that shows q
thorough acquaintance with all the
details Of government and a master
ly handling of them. The most
striking feature is his recommen-
dation to suspend the coinage of sill
yer which will beget a Gght. He
urges reduction of the tariff as the
platform indicated-so as not to
cripple the Industries already in
operation and to protect the labor
er's wages. The following sentence
epitomizes his idea and is powerful
declaration of right policy: eve
should deal with the subject in
such manner as to protect the in
terests of American labor which is
the capital Of the Workingmen; its
stability and proper remuneration
furnish the mort justifable prete xt
ior a protective policy?" He covers
every important question in all de
partments and is exhaustive in de
tall and suggestion. 1t was pub
lished only yesterday and we have
not had time to condense it.
