Proposition of the West and south

proposition OF the west anu SOuth
In an editorial article on the Indianapolis
currency plan the New York Times says:
1.-THE most significant thing about the re-
port of the monetary commission of the
Indianapolis convention is that it is the
proposition of the west and south to the
east"
On what does the Times base its state
ment that the currency plan of the none
tary.commission appointed by the Indian
apolis convention is "the proposition of the
west and south to the east" The plan is
the result of the deliberations of men from
all parts of the country, but there are not
so many southern members of the commits
sion as there are eastern men. and the
east Is about as largely represented as
the west is. The southern and western
members, while they represent the bust
ness sentiments of their respective sections
in respect to currency, do not represent
the sentiments of a majority of the people
of those sections-at least not the senti-
ments of the people of the south and the
far west. 1t is difficult to understand
therefore, what the Times means when it
says the plan of the commission is
proposition from the south and west to the
east.
If the plan had anywhere near a solid
support in the south and west 1t would
stand pretty good chance of being
adopted at the present session of con-
gress. AS it has no such support it will
go before congress wholly upon its merits,
| and be considered in connection with a
number of other currency reform plans
The probabilities are that no currency
reform plan will be adopted within the
next two or three years. In the mean
time, however the plans proposed will be
discussed, and gradually the people will
| reach an agreement as to what they want.
When an agreement is reached congress
will not hesitate long before giving the
| country currency reform legislation.

A DenIer in words.

The late Hon. Henry Erskine, meeting
his acquaintance, Jenny Balfour, a bar
rister who dealt greatly in hard words
and circumlocution sentences, and per-
ceving that his ankle was tied up with a
silk handkerchief, asked the cause, says
Household Words. why, my dear sir. %
answered the wordy lawyer, Il was taxi
ing a rural, romantic ramble in my broth
er's grounds, when, coming to the gate 1
had to climb over it, by which l came in
contact with the first bar and have grazed
the epidermis on my skin, attended with
a slight eXtravasation of blood" you

Erskine, that your brothers gate was
not as lofty as your style, or you must
have broken your neck.

The Governor of Georgia and his junket-
ing party attended a bull fight in Mexico
last Sunday. 1t cannot be said whether
or not the Governor violated any of his
own convictions with regard to the sane
tity of the Sabbath day, but it is certain
that many of his good, church-going and
God-fearing constituents will be surprised
and shocked at the information. Bull
fighting Is prohibited by law in this coun-
try, for the reason that it is regarded a.
a brutal, bloody, degrading sport 1t is
looked upon as being even worse than prize
fighting since in the former case dumb
animals are goaded into frenzy and forced
TO fight for their lives, while in the latter
case the human brutes are under no sort
of compulsion TO bruise and batter each
other. Bull fighting and prize lighting.
on secular days, are regarded by the
masses of the people of this country, and
of the state of Georgia especially, as be-
ing reprehensible; then what is to be said
of the bull fight on Sunday? Are the rules
of correct department governed by geo.
graphical divisions? May person do with
impunity in Mexico that which he would
not dare do in Georgia?

The st. Louis Republic publishes a
rather queer story of a Missouri farmers
experiments in wool growing. 1t is to the
effect that the farmer has been able to
produce an extraordinarily fine quality Of
wool through feeding his sheep ON cotton
seed. In one instance the farmer selected
a lamb and fed it with a certain admXiture
of cotton seed and some other substance
which he keeps secret. The result was,
in the language of the farmer. "a long
fleece of snow white, perfectly mixed cot
ton-wool. The staple was more than three
inches long, and every fiber was as
smooth as polished threads of steel, and
fully as stout as linen, but of the APP
pearance of lambs wool" Possibly If
that farmer could get some of the seed
of that wonderful cotton which grows
near Atlanta, and feed it to his sheep, he
could produce wooden floss ready for
winding into hanks from the Sleeps back.

DR.. Evans. the famous millionaire dem
fist who died a short time ago evident
~ had a pretty high opinion of himself
Among other requests he left a fund of
$4,000. 600 to the city of Philadelphia on
condition that museum be erected there,
to bear his name and in which his clothes
and decorations were TO be displayed, and
that a statue of him be erected in pub
lie square, the statue to cost not less than
$4,000 and not more than $4,000. The
doctor evidently desired that the Phila-
delphions should bear him in mind as
the man who had demonstrated that gen
ius could pull teeth and at the same time
pull the leg of fortune.

What is claimed to be an important
discovery in X-ray work was made in
New Jersey the other day. BY means of
the rays, the presence or absence OF
tuberculosis can be determined. it is said
IN certain case the ordinary examina-
ton with stethoscope and other apparatus
failed 70 reveal the presence of the COM
plant, but under the X-ray, the lung
showed an area of shadow. In its normal
state the lung is not pictured by the ray
but when attacked by tuberculosis the
diseased portion is shown in shadow the
same as other impenetrable objects.

Northern VS.. Southern Opera
tiveS.

We have been told over and
again of the superior condition
of the New England mill opera
tive and the great advantage he
has over the Southern operative.
But the truth is coming out now
in the crucial test of adversely
and the Southern mill operative
may congratulate himself that he
lives in the sunny South. A loom
fiXer in the Wamsutta mills tells
the correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution something about the
wages. He says that notwith-
standing the dividends annually
declared, which in the worst wears
have not fallen below 5 per cent.
the weavers get only $3.50 per
week. He says rent is from S4
to SO month for the merest shell
which the tenant has TO fix up
out of his own wages, that there
Is only three mouths in the wear
when they do not have fires and
then they must have them in the
evenings, and that the coal costs
them $3.50 ton and it takes
seven tons year TO do family,
and the climatic conditions call
for great deal of meat, and that
the system of finding cuts down
these wages to something like
1925 week and he says this
system is common in all the other
departments. These Northern
manufacturers often speak of the
''starvation wages paid in the
South, but in view of these scenes
which are now being daily wit
messed in these great manufactu-
ring centres of the East and the
attendant natural conditions
which surround them i'm that
rigorous climate, that is the place
where "starvation wages" are
paid.-R. in The Cotton Plant.
