1t Encourages sewall's Friends.

ABILENE, Ala, Aug. 5.-The news that
the Democrats carried Alabama by a
sweeping majority has strengthened the
position OF advocates Of Sewall electors.
BY many OF the delegates to the Populist
state convention it is accepted as signih-
cant that the Populists of the sonth, even
with Republican fusion, are not capable
OF turning down the Democratic electors
This feeling may spread and have much
TO do In deciding the question Of fusion
with the Democrats. 1t is agreed that the
first work Of the convention will be tho
appointment OF q committee to confer on
the question OF fusion With a like com
mittee from the Democratic convention.
Next to the question Of electors the most
troublesome problem to be solved is that
of giving representation on the state tick
ct TO free silver Republicans. The only
Republican mentioned for place is E. G.
Little Of Abilene who aspires to be con-
gressman at largo. He is supported by a
strong following Of free silver Republic

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug 5-There re-
mains no doubt that tho Democratic nom
inee for governor has swept Alabama and
that the new state Legislature will be DEM
ooratic by large gains over 1894.
AT Democratic headquarters last night
the following former Populist counties are
chimed to be absolutely certain for the
Democrats: Blount, Butler, Barbour,
Clay, Coffee, Cullman, Dale, De Kalb,
Etowah, Lee Limestone, Randolph, Tus-
caloosa, Walker, Winston, The Democrats
also claim CoYington, Colbert, Pike and
Coneouh, which were carried by the Pop
ulists in 1894
The majority for Joseph f, Johnston,
the Democratic candidate for governor, Is
placed at 43, 600 Tho Democratic majori-
ty over Populist and Republican oombi-
nation at the last gubernatorial election
In 1894, was 81, Ss3.
Goodwin, the Populist candidate for
governor, says the Populists will put out
Bryan and Watson electors, because the
election, he alleges, was a swindle and
prevents cooperation between Populists
and Democrats. He says this action will
hurt Bryan In Alabama but that the
blame rests on the Democrats.

MARTIAN sglNas
Is May 10 That They Aro Racn Of
Winged Hirh Flicrs.


n the attraction OF the carth were le7s
powerful, our winged tribes might have
received much greater development. In
virtue OF the unluestionablc principle
known rs "thc struggle for existence, -
those winged creatures. dominating all
others, would have been the strongest
Progress would have been effected along
this line The superior race, the human
race, would have been winged race.
These simple considerations which it
would be easy to extend much farther, aro
enough TO convince us TINT our human
form IS essentially terrestrial and that tho
inhabitants Of Mars cannot resemble us.
They are different
Upon Mars, FOR example, one might sup
pose, without scientific hercsy, that the
remarkable lightness of their bodies may
have developed the winged race more high
ly in the direction indicated and that the
inhabitants OF this planet may have re
ceiyed the privilege Of flight
Does this amount to saying that, for
this reason, they must necessarily have
the form Of birdss No. Tho bats, are they
not mammals which sucklc their young?
Is it saying then, that we must imng-
inc them under this formY Not at all.
May they not rather be like dragon flies
futtering in the air above the lakes and
the canalsP
AS TO this point wo can imagine every
thing and prove nothing tits oven highly
probable that tho reality is something abb
solutcly different from all our terrestrial
conceptions
On the one hand the lightness Of the
Martian beings Is favorable to their wing
cd constitution. On the other hand, how
ever, the atmosphere is hardly well fitted
TO sustain them But still wo recall that
terrestrial zoology furnishes instances OF
birds which are very heavy, such as the
condors and the vultures, and these nr1
just the ones which fly highest In the most
rarefed regions OF our atmosphere. They
have been observed even above the sum
mits OF tho Himalayas, the Andes and the
cordilleras at elevations OF from 5000 &
1900 meters (e7, 900 70 10000 fcct), wher'
they can still soar freely, thanks TO ths
enormous spread of their wings.
Nor must we lose sight of the fact
that human being Weighing 20 kilo
grams (54 pounds) would weigh no mou
than 90 Kilograms (56 pounds If trans

HYPNOTIC CRIME.
Evidence That II Is Not SO Possible as
Might Ie Imagined.

The possibilities Of rosthypnotic suggcs-
ton would seem at first glance 10 open
wide field for criminal suggestion, but tho
evidence does not, 1 think, Justify much
apprehension on that score.
When the patient s consciousness Is much
disseminated by the suggestion, he Is usual
ly unable TO coordinate himself TO his en-
vironmcnt and is of course not fitted TO do
anything requiring alert mental powers,
much less n crime. When the suggested
idea cxpels inconsistent states, the ease Is
almost as bad. Professor Liegeois dis

Mime. c., one Of his patients, that u was
