Flirting With Mormons.

Governor Steunenbcrg has expoused
the cause Of Congressman Roberts of
Utah. After driving the union labor
vote OF the state out Of his party he
now coquettcs with the MOrmOns In
the vain hope Of filling up the rank.
The Mormon's vote Of the state Is
quite large, and votes with our gov
ern0r are above questions OF morality
or principles OF personal liberty when
political support Is at stake. Govern
Or Stcunenbcrg could not see the
crimes Of the Occur d'Alenc miners
union while the vote of ShOShone
county could he counted without dis
count for Steunenberg fusion. That
vote was moat I'm his official eye.
Hut 1t was different when the fact be-
came apparent to blind man that
Shoshone county's vote would he anti
Stcuncnberg for cause i'm the future.
He conceived the idea Of driving two
thousand voters out Of the Occur d.
Alenes. But the only reform accom-
plished now apparent was the driving
of about two Thousand voters out of
the fusion party. To balance this po-
litical blnnder the governor, as a party
solace, courts the Mormon vote by
giving expert testimony In favor OF
Roberts, the Mormon polygamist, who
asks II seat In congress. These facts
as here brought before the public is Il
confirmation of the claim that Steun-
cnberg is nota moral crusader: and the
votes are prime consideration with
him as All executive as well rs il citizen.

stability OF Timber Property.

The vast pine districts OF the north
are thinning and the fact Is proven by
the movement Of northwestern money
into timber lands OF Mississippi and
Louisiana this year. New Orleans he
tells have been full for several months
Of the purchasing agents of northern
pine kings, and there has developed a
disposition on the part of capitalists,
big and little, to buy pine for the rise
that everybody Is now beginning to
expect. Pine timber Is considered
such valuable asset that standing
trees In the forest have been accepted
by speculative bankers as collateral
for loans OF large size. Surveyors and
estimators make report on tract OF
standing timber, lawyers pass upon
the title and banks are then ready To
make the loan. Timber estimating
has been brought down to such an ex.
net science that the value Of Il tract
can be determined within few dol.
lars. The demand for pine lands of
the northwest Is increasing and any
one having holdings of this character
are strongly advised not To part with
them under good price. New Yves,

ALcoRN JURY FAIL TO AGREE
The Case to lse Retired Next Tuesday,
special yeniFe Of Jurymen.

The Case 70 bt6 Setfse0 NcAt Au~7sA"J
special yenire Of Jurymen.
After being out about forty hours
the jury in the AlcOrn case came into
court at 10 o'clock Thursday and was
discharged, having failed To agree up
on a verdict and representing 10 the
court that an agreement was impossi-
BILE. Once during the forty hours the
Jury came into court and asked for adj
ditional instructions which were given,
but to no avail 10 far as an agreement
is concerned.
One Of the jurors. G. II. Sheffield.
became very i'll and this no doubt
FASTENED the discharge, as the judge
seemed determined to keep them ont
until an agreement could be reached.
The vote Of the jury stood 10 for con-
yiction and two for acquittal and It is
reported the vote had not changed
much from the beginning.
The case will he tried again i'm
mediately, the same being set for re-
trial next Tuesday. AS the regular
panel OF jnrymen was exhausted before
the first jury was secured to try this
case the sheriff has been directed to
summon "A special ycnire OF 40 men to
report for duty next Tuesday. Even
with this extra yenire it is predicted
that much difficulty will be ex-
pericnced before the second jury is
complete, the case having become 50
notorious during the first trial.
Much surprised is expressed at the
action Of the jury in this case, as ii
was generally expected by those who
heard all Of the evidence that the jury
could easily agree upon the cnlprit Is
guilt and quickly return verdict.
Public sentiment In Rathdrum would
also have indicated that the jury must
have clear sailing. The retrial of this
case will cost the county between
r., 900 and $1,000. which is the worst
feature about it and is being com
mented upon by citizens generally
with many unfavorable illusions to
those jurymen who are considered re-
sponsible for the failure to agree.

tants, and Texas BOSSES. The two States will probably exchange places in 1910
 After the Big Six come In order Massa- ehusetts, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa, Geor- gia, Kentucky, Wisconsin and Tennessee each having more than 100000 population. Then come North Carolina, New Jersey, Virginia and Alabama. Alabama has lost one point Manufacturing and suburban New Jersey has robbed us of seventeenth place. which We held in 1S90 We are now No. IS.
 Our nearest rival in 1910 will be Minne- sota, which is a mineral as we'll as an agrl- cultural State. It has now 1,751595 inhabi- tants against 1,S2S.697 in this State; but if Minnesota by means of immigration and Bessemer ores should pass us, we will pass Virginia or North Carolina, or both.

Southern Representation,

Assuming that the basis of apportionment will be 000O, as all seem to think it will be, let us see how the south will stand Alabama will have nine Representatives as at present; Georgia, eleven as at present; South Carolina, seven as at present; North Carolina nine as at present; Tennessee, ten as al present; Arkansas, six as at present; Kentucky, eleven as at present; and Mary land six as at present.
 This leaves Virginia, Mississippi, Louis Jana, Florida, Arkansas and Texas to be considered more in detail. Virginia now has ten representatives in Congress, and her population is now but 1854, 1S4 She would lose member under an apportionment basis of 2GO,OO0. But this loss of a member will be more than made good in other states. Florida which now has two repre- sentatives, would claim a third member, be- cause her population has risen to 52S, ,542. Louisiana, which now has six representa- tives, would claim an additional member on a population of 1.3S1,627, and the claim would certainly be allowed. Mississippi, which now has seven representatives, would expect another member. her population be- ing 1.5l1.S72. Arkansas would be entitled to one more member, or seven in all. And then there is mighty Texas, the sixth State in the Union. This State is now represented by thirteen members. She will demand two more, and expect three, for her popula- tlon is 3,OiS,S2S.
 The south in other words would lose a member in Virginia, and gain two in Texas, and one each in Mississippi, Louisiana, Ar kansas and F'lorida-a net gain of five mem- bers As the House would be increased about twenty this would simply maintain the south's relative standing in that body.

The Fair Opens Today.

The Alabama State Fair opens today, and will present the grandest display of this States natural resources ever gathered for exhibition purposes. The mineral display is complete, and many of the great manu- featuring concerns are represented in at tractive exhibits.
 Great credit is due President Falkner, General Manager Drennen, Directors O'Neill Chalifoux and others; and Frank " Evans, who has collected and arranged the great mineral display, is particularly entitled to plaudits for the complete suc- cess of his efforts.
 The fair promises to be a complete suc- cess and a full hundred thousand stran- gers are expected to enter Birmingham's gates within the next week to view it.
 Of course there will be horse racing, side shows, a Midway and all the other side lights which go to amuse the public. It, indeed, promises to be great show in ev- cry particular.

Mir. Bryan Should Win.

There are many reasons why MT. Bryan will be elected. the chief one being that he stands for the many against the en- croachments of the few, and the many un- derstand the situation.
 There are also special reasons for be- lieving that he will win, and these should be taken into account by all who desire to anticipate Tuesdays results. Let us see what they are.
 IT the first place the German vote, or dinarily Republican, is this year to be cast against colonialsm and militarism. This vote will be as strongly Democratic this year as it heretofore has been Republican. Every Hollander, too, will vote against Mckinley, and the Irish-American vote will once more be boiled solidly against the administration, for all the Republican Irishmen disapprove of the pro-British pol icy of the administration. And then there is the distinctlvely reform or independent vote, which in Ohio alone cast 100000 votes for Mayor Jones of Toledo-this vote in- clines almost solidly to Bryan. Mayor Jones is stumping for Bryan.
 l. should be remembered, too, that the Democrats were divided in 1896 by the cur rency issue. This year the Democrats are practically united. There is probably not a dozen gold Democrats in this State, for example, who will not vote for Bryan. So it is in other States. The party is united, while the Republican party is split by the imperial issue.
 The difficulty of re-electng any man 10 the presidency, the unpopuarity of Pen sion Commissioner Evans, the refusal to pronounce against Chinese emigration at the dictation of the trusts and the advo- cacy of them by the Republican managers all these things go to make MT. McKin- Ives reelection improbable, and Mir. Bry- ans election more than probable. The great popular heart of the nation is with him. He is a man who grows in all sec tions He has a much larger following than he, had in 1S96 and the reported land slide is for many reasons felt in advance IL is in the air, whether MT Cleveland knows it or not.
