Lookinq Four Years Ahead.

Four years ago any crossroads prophet said that the battle of 1900 must be a newal of 1896, and he spoke truly, and many saw with prophetic vision the out come of it. But 1t Is not so easy this time to forecast the next national battle, al- though some rush in where cautious men fear to tread. One confirmed admirer of the Sage of Princeton says the Democratic ticket will be Cleveland and Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell lives in Indiana, where he prac- tces law instead of digging coal, and he would be expected to carry Indiana, while MT. Cleveland carried New York. But tiird term has not been conferred on any man in this country ,and it is not probable that the Democracy will offer it to a man campaigns The Democratic nominee in 1904 will more likely be a man who can car ry Illinois, Indiana or Ohio in 1902. Po- ltical power Is shifting to these central states anyway and a Governor in one of them stands chance to carry the Demo- cratic banner in 1904 Carter Harrison is a possibility, but the name of the winner is probably unknown. The elections of 1902 may bring him out.
 On the Republican side the ticket may be Roosevelt and Yates. It looks that way now. Governor-elect Yates would be ex- pected to hold Illinois in line, while Cover TOT Roosevelt carried New York in warmed-over war campaign. There are many slips possible in the course of four years, but today the Vice President-elect is much more of a Presidential probability than any other man in his party.
 These may be Idle speculations, but in this waiting period speculations are not al- together unproftable. It is any mans guess now. and the beauty of the situation is that one mans guess may be as good as any other mans guess. Guesses are at parity at present

ELECTORAL AND POPULAR VOTES

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 The large electoral majority for MT. Mo Kinley is not unprecedented
 In 1872, out of total vote of BPS, General Grant received 2S6 In 1862 Franklin Pierce was elected by 254 to 42 for General Scott. The elder Harrison was elected in 1S4O by 234 to GO for Van Buren, In 1864 Lincoln re- ceived PIP votes while Mcclellan mustered but 21. The Southern States were in rebel lion at that time, however, and took no part in the election.
 There have been three Presidents who failed to receive popular plurality. In 1924 Adams received 5O551 votes less than Jackson. In 1876 Hayes became President, though the popular plurality against him was 52.22i In 1888 Cleveland boiled 95, more votes than Harrison, but lost the electoral college by 65 votes
 The shifting of very few votes in ap- propriate states might land candidate tn the White House in the face of an adverse popular plurality of a million. It is one of the anomalies of the American syNem.

NED BRACE DISCUSSES INDUSTRIAL
 GROWTH AND EVIDENCES OF PROSPERITY

London brought its war bonds to New York and exchanged them for American gold. Indeed, London floated s25,000,000 of war bonds in New York Russia, Germany and Sweden have also recently borrowed of this country.
 Our foreign trade in the past year has exceeded the 5000, ,Oo0,O 900 mark and has gone $320, coo, 900 above the record of any previous year. In other words. our foreign trade for the past year has exceeded any other year by over $1, 900 GOO for each working day of the year Of the total foreign com merce, $1, ,994, ,OOO 900 worth of goods were ported in the last fiscal year. Of manufac- tured goods alone, $432, ,0000O0 were export ed in the past year. Of coal 7,20O,OOO long tons, valued at $195OO,O0O were exported during the last fiscal year as against 1,9O0,- 000 valued at $6, ,S00, 900, in the fiscal year of 1890 American coal in large quantities is being exported to Europe. It goes to St. Petersburg, Stockholm and to Italian, French and German ports.
 The largest single item of exports has been cotton, of which 3,0S1 100000 pounds, worth $245, ,0OO 900, were sent abroad last year.
 In 1890 $33, ,OOOO 900 of gold was produced in this country. Last years production Of gold from the mines of the United States was $71 ,0OO, 900, Colorado's production alone has increased from $4,0O0,0O0 ten years ago to $25, 600 00O now.
 The Treasury Department at Washington Issues statement in which it is said that the money in circulation in this country, outside of the treasury, on July l, 1896, was s1 ,5O6 600, 900; on October l of this year the statement says the total outstanding circu- lation was $2,119, ,OOO,0OO and that the per capita circulation on October 1 was $27 01

Enforce the Laws.

If the ready revolver continues to go off fin this town, the reputation of Birming- ham will continue to go off at lively rate also, and when 1t gains frontier reputa- tion it's prosperity will disappear also. The law covering the subject may be sufficient, but it's executnon seems to be sadly dei- cient. The law is ready enough and heavy enough when a moneyless, friendless man is brought before it, but when a man who has money and powerful friends Is haled before justice, laws become at once weak in the back and limbered kneed.
 Unless a short turn can be called in this matter of pistol toting and ready pistol practice Birmingham will soon acquire a reputation that years of reform cannot shake off. An unfavorable reputation tray els further and faster than favorable one, and a change must be effected at once If the cityis good name Is to be presered. Mere fines will not put an end to the in- defensible and wholly unjustifable practice of pistol toting. It Is a practice that has

 As rule Mckinley gained votes in the far West, and lost votes in the East and central West. If we except Illinois, North Dakota, Wisconsin and Minnesota, his losses were all in the East, while his gains were chiefly in the far West.
 It is very difficult to account for the changes in the foregoing table. There are many Germans in Illinois and Wisconsin, and many Scandinavians in North Dakota and Minnesota. If the votes of foreign born people were cast in those states to great extent against the colonal-mlitary policy of the administration, then indeed we have an explanation of the losses in popular votes that the administration en- countered. The East is known to hold many ant-imperialists.
 The gains in popular votes were com paratively light and they were doubtless due in great part to good crops and pros- perity. The vote was heavy, but it is in- deed doubtful whether the successful ticket can boast of a larger plurality than it boiled in 1896. It had in that year plural ity of 603,514 votes. The Chicago Record, independent, presents this table of plu- rallties:

A MAN WITHOUT A VOTE.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Secretary of State John Hay is man without a vote, because he is a man with out state.
 The President can vote, not having sev- cred his connection with Ohio, but keeping up his legal residence there. The other cabinet officers were careful to retain cit izenship in their several states and their ability to vote. The clerks in Washing ton left their states with the intention of returning" and most of them are careful about returning to vote, at least In Presi- dential years. It seems Col. John Hay ne- glected that little precaution. He retains

The Fair a Success.

The Alabama State Fair closed last night It was the most complete success of any fair or exposition ever held in Birming- ham or any other section of Alabama. The mineral exhibit, which will remain per- manently in place to be viewed at any time by the public, was perfect.
 President J. M. Falkner and each and every member of the board of directors are entitled to the greatest praise and credit for their splendid work. The fair should be repeated next year and each year there after.

States was F, 500 900 tons, over 100000 tons larger than Great Britain and more than 50O0,OO0 tons greater than the production of Germany: and it is predicted that within a few years the pig iron output of the Unit ed States will exceed that of England and Germany combined Already the steel pro- dueton is more than twice that of Great Britain. Last year we produced 1O60O,OOO tons of steel in this country. Only five years ago we were importers of iron and steel products. Now we are exporters both of the raw and manufactured products
 Another evidence of prosperity in this country, as shown by the treasury state ment is the fact that the sale of the ordi- nary postage stamps for the fiscal year of 1900 was $6, 733, 900 greater than in 1899.
 Birmingham produces coal, iron, steel and cotton, the demand for all of which has phenomenally increased for the past year or two. Prices are also higher. Why shouldn't Birmingham reap, in a great measure, the results of this growing pros perity? Already our concerns are taking advantage of the commercial and industrial situation. With politics eliminated for a period of two years, and all political and other energy thrown into the commercial and industrial world, the Birmingham dis trict should soon become the great hub of the industrial wealth of this country. /
 There are a few things, however, we must put a stop to in this community. Prin- cipal among these is the adoption of law, which shall be strictly enforced, to prevent the carrying of concealed weapons. There aer too many concealed weapons carried in Birmingham, too much fighting and bloodshed, too much lawlessness. This is the only drawback to Birmingham. At least such is the opinion of

 NTV Mckinley svept the country,
 and the Republicans, for at least
 <9 four years more, will control
 every branch of ourgovernment, even to the Supreme Court. There will probably be some changes in the Cabinet. l hear that Secretary of the Treasury Gage will decline to serve another term. It Is said that Charles Emory Smith will be transferred from the Postoffce Depart ment, and it is just possible that he may be made Secretary of the Treasury. Perry s. Heath is slated for Postmaster General The most important change contemplated in the Cabinet, however, is the head of the State Department. l hear that Secretary Hay is anxious to become Ambassador to Great Britain, in which event MT. Choate will be recalled from London and made Secretary of State. Eihu Root, who Is the present Secretary of War, and the Presidents right hand man in the Cabinet, will remain in his present position He is pleased with it and Mckinley is pleased with him.
 All the talk about the reorganization of the Democratic party now is the merest bosh. The Democratic party is all right and no man or set of men can destroy it A year or two hence when the party shall be needed its membership will get together and do the proper and successful thing. In the meantime the great energy which has been thrown into politics for the past several months, should and perhaps will be, diverted to bushes and the country should thereby thrive and prosper.
 
 Apropos of thriving and prospecting, the industrial growth of the United States for the past two or three years has been phenomenal It is a fact that whereas in 1895 we were sending to London to borrow money and selling United States bonds for British gold, things are now reversed and

CHILDREN.
By LongfelloW

By Longfellow.
 What the leaves are to the forest,
 With the light and air for food, Ere their sweet and tender juices Have been hardened into wood That to the world are children;
 Through them it feels the glow Of a brighter and sunrier climate That reaches the trunk below. Come to me, O ye children!
 And whisper in my ear What the birds and the winds are singing In your sunny atmosphere. Ye are better than all the ballads, That ever were sung or said. For ye are living poems.
 And all the rest are dead.
