The Texas Plan.
Chicago Post.


The lively gait at which our Texas friends
start off, argues exceedingly well for the
character of the exhibit which they propose
to offer at the Worlds fair As in most
other states. the Legislature failed to rise 10
the wishes of the Worlds fairs friends,
hut the latter propose TO supplement legis-
latiye parsimony in an ingenious manner,
which is described by one of the commits
sioners thus:
We intend to raise our money through
the schools. We make our shares 81 each
and there are 100000 school children in the
state. To raise this money we offer prizes
that involve an aggregate expenditure OF
5000 TO give. We will give four years
university scholarship to the boy and girl
having the best record in selling shares and
the school having the best record can send
It's teacher to Chicago for a month.
This plan has a double merit. 1t will in
tereSt the children of the state in the great
est object lesson their generation will af-
ford; and it viii almost certainly produce
the money. y number of states whose leg
islatures have failed to make proper provis-
ion for their exhibits, might protitably EMU
late these enterprising Texans. Perhaps
even New York could redeem herself on
this plan.

The Spectral Light.

Gone stormy night in October" said a
we'll known railroad conductor recently,
q was in mortal fear that the bridges of
which there are good many on the line,
would be washed away by the swollen
rivers. Fortunately we passed nearly all
of them safely, but just as we drew near
the last bridge l happened to be crossing
from one car to another and noticed
strange, weird looking blue light dancing
up and down in front of the train. l don't
know what possessed me to do it, but l
rang the bell and brought the train to
stop. The engineer, brakeman and I then
set ont to discover the cause of the light,
but it had entirely disappeared and not
trace OF it was left. We went down the
track as far as the bridge, and found that
it had been completely washed away by
the stream, which was swollen, only few
timbers remaining to bear evidence that
bridge had once spanned the stream. We
were kept there for over two days, until
another bridge could be built, and, al
though the other trainmen laugh at me
for it, l earnestly believe that that spectral
blue light was placed by divine Provi-
dence to save rs from an awful fate. st.

A NATIONAL BANKER WRITES.

Editor Fort Worth Gazette
WICHITA FALLS, Tex, July H. -
| wish you would ask those farmers
who are opposed to the SUbtreasury bill il
! they have not got sub-treasury in The
| l.ational banks as they now stand.
The treasury of the United States dep0s-
its in them without interest. and they have
this money to loan to farmers for interest
And does not the government pay he
national banks interest on the money the
banks issue and loan to the people at in
terest. Don't this favored class get interest
both ways, and thus make 81 equal to s.
You and the convention now in session,
please answer this and give US Il fair deal.
Yours truly-but don't say we are ignorant
OF the national bankil g system, for we are
not, as we own a small share or so in L
national bank We remain as ever, your
humble servant, d. c. DRAKE.
Mr.. Drake may own a few shares or
many shares in national bank, but
that is no reason why he should know
all about the national banking system
any more than the ownership Of "a few
shares" in the keely motor company
teaches the stockholders all about the
mystical cosmic force. Indeed, it is
pretty certain that the gentleman knows
very little about the national banking
system, if he knows no more than his
letter tells.
The government docs not pay the
banks interest on 1.-The money they issue
and loan the people" The government
pays them interest on bonds to Al
per cent-just as it pays anybody else
interest on bonds who can afford to buy
them. Upon depositing these bonds in
the national treasury as collateral Sc
curiJy, the government allows the banks
to issue a certain percentage OF notes.
But ii doesn't pay cent of interest on
these notes, Mr.. Drake.
Neither does this right to issue notes
make 81 equal TO 81. If it did, every
national bank would issue as many
notes as its capital authorized it to
issue. Instead of doing this, but few OF
them issue more than the minimum
circulation. The last published state
ment of the Fort Worth banks shows
this fact very clearly. Five OF our
banks have a paidin capital of 81, 925,
GOD. With this they could have bought
about 81 $50, 900 Of 4 per cent bonds,
and with these bonds Us a basis they
were entitled TO circulation OF ST. 420.-
600. Now it is pretty certain that if
under the national banking law they
could have made 81 equal to s.. or
81. 400 600 equal TO s2.S40.00O, they
would have done so, for Fort Worth
bankers are but human. Instead of
taking this sl,420,00O of circulation,
however. the statement shows that
their total circulation is only SO, 900.
II Mr.. Drake will stop into the bank
in which he is shareholder and ask
the president or cashier for informa-
ton, We have no doubt it will be cheer
fully given. and then he will know
more about the mysteries of the ma
tional banking system the next time he
writes for the papers.

! convention furnish evidence that the
men who participated in it will never
| submit TO the rule OF the party that
dominated the Waco convention. Their
| declarations were not made in the
| phrase OF irresolution or OF timidity.
They boldly deied the present leader
ship of the Alliance, denounced the
leaders as corrupt and selfish, and
| proclaimed their unalterable determin-
alton never to accept the obnoxious
doctrines of the Ocala convention. And
they are not the kind of men to back
| down.
There is too much ground to believe
that, at this time, the sub-treasury fac
| ton OF the Texas Alliance is in the ma
jority. The officers of the organization
in this state are its promoters. They
have the machinery in their hands,
| and are using it. The lecturers are so
many special advocates of the sub-treas-
ury scheme. where there is no chance
| for the other side to be heard. 1t
| would be wonderful. indeed. if, with all
| OF these advantages, the sub-treasury
| idea should not make Roadway. But
lis authors and supporters have made
| the mistake of trying TO force the SUBJ
treasury upon all members Of the ALI
ancc, taking it as test of loyalty to
the order. And that IN stake has led
to a movement thateyill split the ALI
| ance.
Such must be the result. The
Macune party cannot back down. The
other side will not give in. They VII
be expelled: and then:
In the Fort Worth convention il was
asserted by men VINO had he'd such
official positions in the Alliance as to
enable them TO have access TO the books
of the order, that there are fewer than
-, 600 members now on the rolls in good
standing. and that this is the remnant
of membership o. l25. 900 few years
ago. There are. then, 100, 900 eX-Al'l-
| ance members in the state, who for one
cause and another have withdrawn
from the order. The greater number
of these Withdrawals are said to be due
to the active efforts of the sub-treaslry
agents to force that system upon the
Alliance. If this is really the case. are
not these 100000 ex-members good ma
terial for the formation of a new ALI
ance upon the constitutional foundation
of the Alliance as it vas originally
planned? y leader only is needed TO
start the movement and bring them to
q rallying point. The Fort Worth
convention brought leaders TO the front
| and the movement is begun.
