comparison of results shows that
the total vote for Attorney-Gener in
1889 exceeds the vote for Governor in
1885 by 1,514, but falls below the total
vote for President in 1888 by II ,851.
Also that the total Democratic vote
for Acknowledgement exceeds the total
Democratic vote for President last fall
| by 1904, while the total Republican
vote for Attorney General falls below the
total Republican vote for President by
27,S51, From this it would seem that
there were u great many Republicans
who went back on the Boss.
Malone ran behind his ticket to some
extent, and Mckinnev's majority for
Governor will exceed $4,000. MahOnes
vote is less by over 10000 than that cast

Southern Iron-Making,
From Iron.
The great activity during the past few years
in tie building of blast furnaces In the South has
led the over sanguine to predict the decline Of
pigiron manufacture in the North especially in
Pennsylvania, and the ultimate growth Of the
Southern States to the prominent position of the
leading pig iron producing district of the coun-
try. The increase in the number of blast furnaces
in the South, but especially in Alabama, during
the past two years, has certainly been excep-
tional, the number in that State alone increas-
ing from twenty four completed and nineteen
building i'll November, 1887, to forty-four COM
pleted and eight building at the present time.
All these new fnrnacea are of large capacity,
being built upon the latest design and with pow
| erful blowing machinery. A glance at the In
dustry in Pennsylvania would seem to show
hiatt hn iad in hot
really begun, as there are but 230 active furnaces
in the State to-day, whereas two years ago
there We're 242 furnaces WHICH were in condition
to make iron decrease in two years of twelve.
This apparent decline in the number OF fur
naces in Pennsylvania, however, does not indi-
cate real decline in the producing capacity of
the State We have ascertaned the capacity of
the furnaces in Alabama in November 1887, and
November, 1899. which will be found IN she fol-
lowing table, in comparison with the capacity
of the Pennsylvania furnaces at the same dates,

1t will be seen that the increase in the capacity

Isaac ID. Vincent, eX-State Treasurer
of Alabama, who Is now serving fifteen
year sentence in the coal mines for the
enlightenment of $232, 900 of the States
money, wants a pardon. He does not
want an ordinary pardon, and will not
allow his friends to intercede with the
/ Governor in his behalf. He wants the
people OF his State to pardon. Vincent
proposes to ask the Legislature to sub
nit the question of granting him par
don to the people at the next election,
and let them vote on it. If majority
vote for pardon he thinks he should be
free, while if a Majority vote no pardon
he will serve out his sentence. Vincent
has been in the mines two years, and
/ with the usual allowance for good con-
/ duct, his sentence will expire in ten
years.
The scandals which are cropping out
/ in England and the implication with
them of members of the royal family,
will eventually work out a terrible revo-
luton in that country The entailm ent

while, but if it is supplemented by an en-
tailment of vice and dehauchery, the
people will hump their backs and throw
the ruling dynasty overheard. After
the Queen, what may come next no one
knows. But republican influence is
marching at tremendous strides, and
Republics are springing up in a day.
1t is now stated that the Emperor of
Brazil Dom Pedro, was cognizant of the
purpose to declare the Republic, if he
was not a willing party to the overthrow
of the monarchy. He knew that the ac-
cession of his daughter Isabelle to the
throne, and the influence of her husband
over her, would be the precursor of a
bloody revolution, as the Princess is very
unpopular. 1t was to prevent this, and
assure peaceful government and the
safety of the people, that, it is alleged,
the Ex-emperor permitted the sudden
