Savannah. Ua.. Jan 14— Judge
Thomas M. Norwood, who nearly $0
years ago was United States senator
from Georgia. Iths returned from Wash
ington, and after visiting the senate
and house, meeting many of Ita mem
bers, la out In an Interview*, which,
while Interesting from a point of view
of stirring reminiscence. Is scathing on
the United Btste* senate.
Judge Norwood expresses It as his
opinion that unhss thr moral sense
of the people of |he North is aroused,
or the choke of the United Htates sen
ators Is placed In the hands of the
people. t!t* nation ls dimmed. He says
that the senate Is a millionaires* club
and is entirely different from what It
was in Its pristine days A scat there
now has a commercial value, he eaye,
and Is as purchasable ns a seat on
the New York Block Exchange.
Case of Contrast.
"Ilow does the statesmanship of
the senntc now compare with what It
was when you were n member of the
senate?’* he waa asked
"Well, tn my opinion It ts not a
cn*e of ciMi^parlaon. It ts one of con
trast. I sjieak of the entire body—
not of exceptional members. It IM like
comparing the wealth of tltc entire
country in the year IK71 to the wealth
of t9<u*\ There were not five men In
the scnr.te then reputed to .own *>ne
million dollars each Now it is a mil
lionaires' club, that Is. of senators
above the Ohio river It Is a commer
cial convention holding credentials
conferring autocratic ami almost abso
lute power. You can Judge how* Its
statesmanship ranks In comparison i
with n body composed of such men as
Thurman, of Ghlo; Bayatd. of Dela
ware; Matt Uarpentrr. of Wisconsin;
Udnklln. of New York; Edmond*, of
Vermont; Sherman, of Ohio; Sumner
ami Hoar, of Maagnchu/etts.
“It Is Idle to talk 4»ff statesmanship
In connection with that which I* the
objsct of barter and sale. A seat In
the senate In nWlrty Northern states Is
like h seat In the stock exchange In
New- York, or like ownership of a
railroad. The man who wants It
goes into the market tn buy It. W. A.
t'lark's seat cost over $500,000. Head
ers of Mctiure'a Mugntlne know all
the details of that disgrace on Amer
ican civilisation. But this crime la get
ting to be so common that If not
cheekid by giving the electon of sen
ators to the people. It will become re
spectable—that la at the North.
Guggenheim the Limit.
•’And now* comes Guggenheim, of
Colorado, who throws ills hand on
the table, face up. and claims the pot,
on the around that he already owna
the legislature, lie is the full grown
fruit of the evolution tbit has been
going on ever alnre the Republican
party has had possession of the gov
ernment. And the end Is not yet. If
these signs do not arouse the moral
sense of the people in the North, we
arc a dmined nation.
’’While I was meditating over the
change* In the senntc. I thought of a
bright r-mark a young hlgh-tller tn
Atlanta -*» years ago made at a ball.
As he entered the room several young
indies begun spenrlng'hlm with ques
tions about his friends—'What had
become of them?'

dead, some are sick, very alck; some
are in Jail, and, well, some are In the
