It seems to me a pity. Educated Americans, too, will often say “somewheres” and a “long ways.” I have littlo doubt that this “s” has a grammatical history of its own. Probsblj it is on old case ending, just as “lie goes out nights,” on which Mr. Andrew Lang is so severe, is a sur vival of the “6’nights” which Shakesyeare puts in the mouth of Julius Caesar (“Sleek headed men and such as sleep o’nights.”) At the same time, as “some wheres” has become irremediably a vulgarism in England, it would, I think, be a graceful concession on the part of educated Ameri cans to drop the “s. 1 J After all “somewhere” does not jar in America, and ‘somewheres” very distinctly jars in England.

The Atlanta Constitution and the Progress one year each for $1.50. Jasper Georgia, Friday, December 15, 1899. Nancy Hart. The interesting “History of Georgia,” by Charles Edgeworth Jones, now running in the Atlanta Constitution, contains the following sketch of Nancy Hart, the revolution ary heroine in whogp honor Hart county wa*> named: “Here is an incident which strik ingly illustrates the patriotic ardor which burned in tlie hearts of the women of Georgia during the dark days of the American struggle. In ono oi the frontier homes of state, in what is now Elbert county, lived Nancy Hart. I rudition lepie sents her as being endowed ivith non of the outward chaims of pci son peculiar to her sex, and being moss eyed, redhead ad and extremely culim: both in appliance ,in disposition, but in spite of this por tvaiture it remains that one of the brightest haloes of heroism encircles ihe brow of this pioneer 1 heioine of Georgia. Hart was loyal to the American cause. “She despised tories with cordiality, and wasted civiities . J no making them acquainted wit her sen timents. On one occasion a party of tories stopped at her cabin and asked to be regaled with one of her repasts. She oiimenled to enterain them and soon made the atmosphere of the place savory with the good things which she placed on the table. Before assaulting with hungry ;lun Ip *Vl , it h- r them, they stacked their guns in one corner of the room and sitting them selves down to eat with little thought of daugtr, they addressed themselves merrily to the task of satisfying the wants of tlie inner man. But Nancy Ii art w as not dispensing her hospi tality simply to please her tin welcome guest. She had other plans in view no sooonei had the tories commenced to dispatch the meal which lured them on unconsciously to destruction than she deliberated!}' snitched up one of ihe guns and aiming it at the group of men, announced that she would fill with buckshot the first man who drived to stir. One of the members of the patty thinking that she was only blufliing, s:nrtied to move forward, but on doing so he fell the floor filled with buckshot. Prudence kept the others from trifling with danger. In the meantime Nancy dispatched one of her cluldien to bring re enforcements from the whig*, and when re-enforce-' ments arrived she was enabled by her cool pluck and brave stragem to turn over to the whigs six burly prisoners No episode of the revolu tion is more redolent of heroism than this courageous exhibition of patri otism on the patt of Nancy Hart and so long as the freedom which sprang from the blood of the revolu tion endures s > long will Nancy be held in affectionate admiration. One of the counties of Georgia has been approprately named in honor of this stout heroine of the revolution.” My son has been troubled for years with chronic diarrhoea.

From our own Correspondent: The Republicans now have before the House their long promised single gold slandered bill, and it is slated for passage, with limited debate, December 18th. The Democrats justly protested against tho adoption of a gag rule, compelling them to got ready for discussion of this important measure with hut one day preparation, after the Repiilican* had consumed eight months in its construction. The proceeding attending the placing of this bill before the House were arbitary in the extreme. It, came without the formality of a first con sideration in committee, and conse quently the Democrats have had no opportunity even to offer amend ments or file a minority report con taining their views upon proposition of far reaching importance. Under the rule, moreover, there can be no motionjorecommit the bill lor amend ment. There is practically no possi bility of securing its amendment in me House The plan of the Repub licans •imply is to fasten the gold atanderd more firmly upon tho American people, under a cloture rule stifling eveiy effort at the amendment or even through debate. The Republican* of the House are bound by their caucus to stand together in this purpose, but it is known that many of their leaders distrust the wisdom of the course. Joe Cannon, of Illinois, who ischair man of appropriations, perhaps TiTe most important committee of Con gress, is personally opposed to a number of the most importanpro visions of the lull. Cannon knows the traditionary friendship in the middle west for the old greenbacks, which came into existence during the great civil war cuabledcd the gov ernment, to tide over the crisis oi that period. The proposition to im pound is merely a subterfuge for their retirement from the circulating system; and will be made clear in the byeif period allowed for debate. Can,non is not alone in Ins apprehen sions of tho political unwisdom of the measure. A number of republi cans from Indiana, Iowa, Kansas and Minnesoto, regret that, they are bound by the caucus mandate to support the bill. They hope to seo it amended in the Senate, as a means of eliminating some provisions that are generally unpopular and in some states looked upon as vicious. Although the Democrats almost as a unit will oppose the bill, the leaders are not sorry to see the Repulicans force it through. The silver men have not lost confidence in the strength of their cause, and they bt leive the people will repudiate the party which stands sponsor for this new bill, aimed mainly to strengthen the national banking system and enhance the value of stock in these institution*. They hold that tilt immediate effect of the measure will be to turn over to the banks the control of the circulating medium of the country, and when this is realized, there will be such a revolt as will j sweep the Republicans from the j legislative and executive branches | overwhelmingly. „„ The important ... committees ... OI e Congress this winter will be those on Insular affaiit, having charge of matters affectung ... the .. new territory . No. 15. acquired from Spain. There is naturally great pressure to secure membership upon these committees, in both the House and Senate. Speaker Ilendrsop announces that only the leading in;m will bo con sidered eligible. Among those named are Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, for chairman; Knox, of Massachusetts and Fowler, of New Jersey, Repub licans, among the Republicans mem bers; and Batly of, Texas; Williams, of Mississippi, and lie Armond, of Missouri, on the Democratic side. The committee \v.II consist of nine Republican:* and eight Democrats, and a good deal ofHftro is bemig given by Speaker Iltflfderson to get m ol who w’ll, (jollechvly, furnish capacity for handling intelligently a!i the questions, necessarily of great variety, which will coins before the committee. The provision for tills committee indicates ihtt the Republicans intend to treat the Philippines as a perma nent possessions of the United States. If only temporay expedients were to be devised for the governieuts of these island ', thei e would have been no need for a seporate committee to consider and report upon them. The present committees of the House arc ample. The Industral Commission expects to submit its first repot t to Congress about tho middle of January and to follow it, with seven other speciui reports on different subjects, and tnal ’ ‘siTTnTh.hg Yip the one report wl ole work that has been done. The first report will be particularly interesting, as it deals with trusts and contains ail the testimony on tho subject which has been laid before the commission. It contains also a digest of legislation on the subject in the different states, in Congress, and in foreign countries, showing what has been upheld and what has been declared unconstitutional by the courts. The report is particularly interesting, in view of ihe remarks of the President in his recent mes sage, and of the latest decisions of the Supremo Court in a trust case. As was to have been expected, the President - that is to say, Attor ney General Griggs, speaking through the President - wants “more legislation” in spite of the fact that the Supreme Court’s decision in the Addiston Pipe case shows clearly that the present law is broad enough to cover any form of combination that has yet been proposed. Mr. Griggs, it is understood, djola’-ed that the law could not touch the Addiston Pipe trust, and only con sented to prosecute the cate in order to quiet popular outcry at his somnolency. That he won the case must have been a surprise, arid not a pleasant one, to him. From the decision, it would seem that the present need is not for more legisla tion, but Ur an Attorney General who will enforce the laws already in existence. Special Notice.
