MT. Mckinley needs 75 of the doubtful votes, and he must carry three of these four doubtful states, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and New York, in order to secure them. These four states are indeed the battle-ground, and every one of them con tains thousands of independent voters who will vote as they please and who will keep their own secrets If MT. Mckinley has won the support of the independent vote of the four states named he will occupy the White House four years longer but if his colonial and tariff policy has alien ated that vote he will be succeeded by the man who has done more to democraticize this country in the last five years than any other single force.

Representative Bernard Harwell of Greene was in town yesterday on his way to Montgomery. He says that the recent rains have caused a rise of twenty feet in the Warrior, the result of which is the sus- pension of work on the government locks in that river. The teams and workmen were brought out of the river on Saturday; but the water will run out rapidly now that the rain has ceased, and it is expected that the great work of the river improvement will be resumed within few days.
 The work of purchasing and taking pos session of the right of way for a new rail- road line of the Kansas City road in Walk CT County will be begun today. The new road will be about eight miles long, and will extend from the main line to the new mines of the Empire Company, in the Horse Creek district, Ten openings in the new mines have been already made, and the coal is demonstrated to be of very superior quality. The work will be rushed fast as possible. MT. Will Kennedy, re- gently at Pratt, is connected with the new company.

THAT WORD ."ALLIANCE."

| Notwithstanding the opposition to
the Hsy-Pauncefote treaty, the text OF
which is published in THE HERALD to-
day, its prospects of ratification are
| said to be good.
In the opinion of the leading sena-
tors. an international agreement for
the naturalization of the canal will suf-
United States, which are lare ely COM
mercisl. in such q waterway, and they
point out the fact that the privilege of
fortifyinR it would not be worth the
cost of the construction and mainte-
nance of defenses.
Even the argument that mistake
was made by this government In form
ally acknowledging in the recent nego-
tiations that the Clay ton-Bulwer treaty
was still in force is expected to tell in
favor of the Hsy-Pauncefote agree
ment, for the reason that ratification
will result in the abrogation OF all such
features of the older treaty as are held
now to be obnoxious, and will thus def
nitely remove all doubts on the subject.
The word alliance" a. used in the
treaty naturally has not passed unno-
ticed in political circles, but great i'm
portance is not attached to it. Joseph
Cham berlain's indiscreet mentions of
the word alliance" are alluded to and
deductions are drawn therefrom which
weaken considerably the Importance
to the term ''allisnce" as used
in diplomatic documents.
That the treaty closely associates the
two countries in purely American
project: that under its provisions the
United States abendons the right to
defend its own property in return, for
the promise of assistance from Great |
whenever assistance for the |
of the canals neutrality |
shall be required: that it is, in a word,
au offensive and defensive alliance |
with Great Britain, are features that |
could not be expected to pass without
criticism and opposition, but the way
'or its ratification appears to be clear.

THE DEATH PENALTY.

Connecticut has adopted q new gall
lows warranted to hang a man without
any unnecessary delay, and automatic
ally. Massachusetts, having adopted
the electric method of the ''happy dis
patch," is wondering if it be not better
to abolish the death penalty alto
gether.
New York and New Jersey are dis
cussing propositions to abolish capital
punishment, or to modify the laws In
such a way that a jury in a murder
case bartender q verdict of murder in
the first degree and qualify it by ad-
ding without capital punishment"
the effect Of such q verdict being to
imprison the convicted individual for
life.
The argument in favor of laws of
this sort is that juries are averse to
sending a Gfellow man to death, and
that, in consequence of this aversion,
ment they richly deserve. On the
other hand, it ought to be pointed out
that in these days of merc:ful men in
vested with the pardoninR power, q
sentence to life imprisonment would be
no guarantee that a murderer would be
kept for the rest of his life where he
can do no more harm.
1t Is mistaken pity on the part of
juries to be so much more merciful to
than murderers are to their
victims. The law allows condemned
felons time to prepare for death, while
send their victims to eter-
nifty without notice. The murderers
thems elves can abolish capital punish
ment. ALI they need to do is to refrain
from killing.

OBJECT LESSONS IN FORESTRY.

The offer to give advice and furnish
working plans to persons DESTROYS to
plant forest trees, made last August
by the division OF forestry of the agri-
cultural department at Washington,
has received immediate response from
farm ers in every part of the country.
Altho ugh but a few months have
elapsed since the offer became gener-
ally known, one hundred and eighteen
appl locations have been received, and
plans for thirty-eight of these will be
com pleted before the time for spring
pla nting is here. A still larger num-
Der have Dwritten for advice, which
does not require field inspection by the
forest officials. The treeless states
have been quickest to avail themselves
of ass istance, the number of applica-
tons beingsas follows: Texas, 5: Kan

Among the applicants for govern
ment assistance in the management of
woodlands Is William Rockefeller,
who owns q tract of 60, 900 acres at Bay
Pond, Franklin County, New York, on
which he has built hunting and fish
ing lodge. Much of the land has been
logged over, butsthere is large tract
of vi rgin timber which has passed the
stage of greatest production in q ma
tursl state and is lying idle. Mr..
Rock efeller.hss asked for a working
plan by which the mature timber can
be turned into revenue without injury
to the forest as game preserve.
The majority of plans are for tracts
of five to ten acres, intended by prairie
far mers to afford wind breaks and fuel
supplies. A few paintings of
1850 and 1000 acres are be-
ing made As experiments in
raising forest crops for market in

THE American consul at Freiburg,
Germany, reports an interesting dis
covery by German scientists, the ap-
plicatiOn of which will render cloth
and wood fireproof. The material used
to bring about this result is now being
manufactured by German firm. and
great things are expected of it. The
American consul declares that he has

has found that curtains, carpets, cloth
ing, Graperies and wood to which the
liquid has been applied refuse to yield
to flame. Even when cloth was Gov
cred with kerosene and the oil burned
out, the fiber of the goods was only
charred, while the piece remained in

this chemical application, hotels may
be made absolutely fireproof, and that

soluble. and is, therefore, imprac-
ticable for outdoor use. Garments,

his cuff buttons will have his woes
doubled If the new cuff that is now
displayed in the windows of New
York's prominent haberdashers comes
into fashion. Each cuff is in two
separate parts, and instead of being
linked at one end, as has heretofore
been the case, they are linked at both
ends. This arrangement naturally
necessitates the use of pair of but
tons for each cuff, but the makers
claim that on the other hand, the cuffs
cannot crack, and will last ten times

wear them. There are too many jim
