HIS "SOMETHING BETTER. -
Senator Norwood Explained it in At.
lanta.

Ex-senator Norwood explained
his substitute tor the sub treasury
plan in the hall of the house of rep
resentatives on Wednesday night of
last week.
He was introduced to the audi
ence, which was largely composed of
members of the legislature, by Rep
rcsentatlve Kemp of Emanuel coun,
ty.
He started out with an attack on
the national banking system, and
favoring state banks led on to his
something better" which hes been
so long clamored for by Alliance
leaders.
In brief Senator Norwood's plan
is this: The federal government is
to iss::e legal tender to the amount
of $40 per capita in actual clrcula>
ton; this currency to be good for
the payment of all debts except on
imports, which shall be in gold.
When this legal tender is issued by
the treasury it is to be distributed
among the states according to the
population. The state governments
are to have absolute control of it.
Gcorgia's share would be about fifty
million dollars. Of this Senator
Norwood's IDEA is to deposit ten
million in the state treasury as a re-
serve fund, lend ten million to state
banks and disbrrse the remaining
thirty million through a state agen-
cy.
This state agency wanted to let
the funds out on land and other ST.
curities at reasonable interest. The
interest OH the money so loaned
would together with the improve
meats that would result from it in
! the general prosperity oi,tbe country
would finally do away with taxation
entirely. Each state could lend It's
funds to foster its own particular
line of development. The Western
states would lend on corn and wheat
and the Southern states on cotton
others on iron, railroads or anything
else.
Senator Norwood declared the
sub-treasury plan unconstitutional
and impractical. 1t was tavoritism
and paternalism. 1t required a
pooling of interest to make it effect
i've. If corn and wheat were ignor-
ed by it the Alliance of the West
would not have any interest in it,
and if cotton was lett out the South
ern Alliancemen would not support
it All Of this was overcome in his
plan and he urged the Alliancemen
to come together and unite with the
democrats on it.

Stories Of Daniel Webster.


From the Boston Globe.
The following anecdote OF Daniel Webster
who was in 1875 member Of Phillips
Exeter Academy, was related to friend OF
mine by Samuel Lawrence Of Exeter:
A few days after Mr.. Webster had entered
Exeter Academy he returned to his boarding
house one evening in very Respondent mood
and told his friends there that the city boys in
the academy we're constantly laughing al
him because he was at the foot Of his class and
had come from the backwoods.
The next day Mr.. Nicholas Emery, who was
then an assistant tutor in the academy, urged
Webster to think Of nothing but his books, and
added that all would yet come out right.
The advice was needed, and at the end of the
FIRST quarter Mr.. Emery. mastering his class in
a line, formally took the arm Of young Webster
and marched him from the foot to the extreme
head.
At the end Of the second quarter, when the
class was mustered, Mr.. Emery said:
take down your cap"
The boy oboyed, and. thinking that he wal
about to be expelled from school, was sorely
troubled.
The teacher soon dispelied the illusion, TO,
he continued: Now, sir, you will please re.
port yourself to the teacher Of the first GLASS
Aud you. young gentlemen, will take an affec-
tionate leave Of yonr eiassmate, for You will
never see him again"
They never did see him in that class room
again, but the day came when the eyes of the
nation beheld him.

furs have become dreadfully common of late

herself with a plain boa, such as is worn by
the fair skater in my last illustration. The

was concerned but now we are threatened with
NUTS of enormous proportions, such as used to
be carried by our grendams, who, without any
exaggeration, oftentimes staggered under their

Europe he had no difficulty in crawling through
