Depends Upon the Democrats.
From the Birmingham News Dem).

1t is said that the annexationists are
hopeful of obtaining Messrs. Tillman of
South Carolina and Daniel of Virginia,
and are now bringing pressure to bear up
on them. If annexation is accom-
plished Democratic votes must bring it
about Without the votes Of the six Dem
ocrats named as certainly and the three
as probably for it the ratification of the
treaty would be out of the question. As
the matter now stands the fate of the
treaty depends upon the Democrats. If
the measure is ratified they must share
with the Republicans the responsibility of
having put into practice a policy both I'M
American and dangerous

Judge Hazen, of the state district court,
at Topeka, may not be catering to the BIZ
cycle riders. but he has just rendered a
decision which will make them his friends.
He has decided that a bicycle is tool,
and is essential 10 a mans profession or
occupation, and that, as such, it is ex-
empt from execution. The bicycle in the
case before the Judge had been levied
upon to collect a judgment.

The streets of the city are now scenes
of more than ordinary activity, with the
building of the new system OF sewers. the
reconstruction of the railway lines, and
the opening ana grading of new streets in
the Southern section. These improve
ments give employment to a large number
of workingmen, which means more bust
ness for storekeepers and more rents for
landlords; and when the work shall have
been finished the improvements to the city
will be apparent In this connection, it
may be remarked that the city railway
people are showing good judgment in re-
building their Whitaker street line, in sus-
pending traffic on that street during the
progress of the work. 1t may be little
nconvenIent for people who usually travel
on the Whitaker street line to walk a
block further to take car, but the incon-
venience will be only temporary, and the
work in Whitaker street will be concluded
sooner, and will be better done than if it
had been attempted to run traffic through
it while making the improvements.

One Million Bales.
From Charleston News and Courier (Del

We congratulate our friends in Savan-
nah upon the wonderful increase of their
cotton trade this year. The receipts at
that port up to yesterday reached 100000
bales, and by the end of the commercial
year will doubtless aggregate one and a
quarter million bales. Not only have the
receipts been the heaviest ever know in
the history OF the port but the shipments
have been corerspondingly large. We
wish that Charleston had done as well,
but we have only congratulations and good
wishes for our friends across the river.
The Mornings News says that the ship
ments by coastwise steamships from Sa-
vanuah this year have amounted to $780,
0iS bales and that the foreign shipments
have reached 562, 925 bales. The total re-
ceipts at Charleston up TO the close of bus
mess on Wednesday reached 400, $40 bales

The late Baron Harden Hickey was a
good deal of a comic opera character; new
ertheless 1t seems that he abounded in
:. traits which are the markers of the pol
ished gentleman. He was a sort of Don

Bayard; full of queer ideas, a dandy, but
withal a gentleman above reproach.

CURRENT COMMENT.
BOies in Evidence Again.
From the Knoxville Tribune Dem

Uncle Horace Boies of Iowa seems to be
making another bid for a nomination for
President. He has never recovered from
the disappointment over his failure to re-
ceive the Democratic nomination at Chi
cago In 1896 when a bolder and ADLER man
was nominated. The nomination is still
long way from Uncle Horace.

KIOndike Gold.

All indications point to big movement
to the Klondike gold fields next spring
and summer. The transportation compa-
MES will be taxed to the utmost to accom-
modate the traffic which will be offered to
them. Some of the estimates go as high
as $1,000 as the number of people that will
seek fortunes in the new gold district be-
tween the opening of navigation next
spring and the closing of it in the fall.
OF the richness of the newly discovered
gold deposit there appears to be no doubt.
Unless new prospects are discovered, how
ever, the placer miners will find very little
that is comforting in the Klondille, because
all the placer mines have been taken up.
There may be other mines of the same
kind in sections of country yet unexplor-
ed. If there are they will be found, in
all probability within the next few
months
There is plenty of gold embedded in the
rocks in the Klondike, but it will require
capital to get tia great deal of capital.
Costly machinery is necessary, and to get
machinery to the gold region will be diff
cult thing to do. 1t may be that rail-
AOetu VIII We CONSTRUCTED 10 the BOiu ItiuS
within the next year. In that case the
outlook for gold mining on a large scale
would be greatly improved.
Everyone who goes to the Klondilke goes
of course, with the feeling that he is 60
ing to make fortune quickly. AS a mat
ter of fact not one in a hundred has been
successful in the search for gold. There
are many thousands of Klondike gold
seekers, but less than 100000 in gold, ac-
cording to the most authentic reports, have
been brought to the minis. Pretty nearly
that much has been spent In getting it,
1t Is true that there may be great deal
of gold at Dawson City awaiting safe
transportation to the mints but the
chances are that the amount will not be
| scented.
Nobody should go to the Klondike who
is doing fairly well at home, because the
chances are in favor of disappointment
