will ever be overcome in that way. It calls for a daring invention that DO one has as yet any clue to. It says to inventive minds, Do not attempt to perfect what is in sight, but wait until some new inspiration comes to you"
 The proposition Is ridiculous. The plan that promises something valuable and efficient is a development of the balloon Idea to it's utmost limits. This will doubtless consume fifty years. All that M. Santos Dumont has accom- plished should be utilized, and every year should witness some change that will render aerial navigation more and more feasible. The attraction of gray itation is a perpetual force, and the overcoming of 1t Is a problem of the most difficult nature. It can be over come by balloons, and then follows the management and steering of those bal looms. This is what the Brazilian aeronaut is trying to do, and he has succeeded far beyond all his co-work- CTS. Fortunately he Is in Paris, which is now the ballooning center of the world.

HE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Forecasts oi New York Election.

The election of a Mayor In New York occurs on November 5, and the result of that election is considered B foreshadowing of the national elec- tion in 1904. Despite the reform pre- tensions of the fusion combine there are no signs of stampede to Seth . Low. A canvass made by the New York Herald we'll establishes that fact. Tammany and antl-Tammany will simply poll their normal and natural strength.
 The registration lists Of the city are made up, and they carry all told 615,934 names. This is less by 23,S34 votes than the registration of last year, although it is 49,130 more than in the year, 1897, that Mayor Van Wyck was elected. Out of the regis tered voters it is conceded that 590,000 will vote. This is conceded by both sides, and the concession is based on previous votes which have ranged from 5 to per cent below registra- tion.
 The winner must therefore poll more than 280,0O0 votes, after deduct ing the socialist and scattered votes. Last year Bryan's vote was 30S,911. Why should not Edward M. Shepard receive as many votes as Bryan did, when the former has the support of the gold Democrats which Bryan lacked? The city Is normally and ordinarily Democratic by heavy ma jority. A vote of 325,OO0 for Shepard may reasonably be expected. The scattered vote, including that of the socialists, is about 15,O00, thus leav ing 250.000 votes to be cast for Low fusion and reform. Shepard's majority in that case would be about 75,O0O. Ii may fall to 50,000, but the best oi judges of the situation think it will go higher.
 At any rate there is no landslide to. wards Low. and Tammany is fighting the battle of its life. It has no expecta- tion of defeat. Seth Low as head of Go lumbia University has not proven to be either a great executive or great .financier. It is deeply in debt, and the gifts of alumni alone keep its head above water. There need be nc fears that Edward M. Shepard, who has a large personal following and a fine record, will be defeated by such a man.

PROMOTING THE BEAUTIFUL

From the Pfttsburg Dispatch.
 The recent appointment of c. J. Leavitt civil engineer in the employ of the New York Central Railroad, to a new position with the title Landscape gard ener-in-chief' markes progress in an im- portant department of railroad business It may seem odd to many that landscape gardening should have any connection with railroading. It has. however. and 1t Is constantly growing in importance. The old Idea that a railroad right-of-way is necessarily barren waste, even when surrounded by fertile territory, is rapidly passing.
 The New York Central. Pennsylvania and few other roads began a system of improvement good many years ago. Certain places along their lines were se- lected for the creation of flower beds and shrubberies. much to the delight of their patrons Those small beginnings have expanded into ambitious schemes of gar dening a large part of mileage of these companies; an the creation by the New York Central of special department for that purpose. It is proper function of a railroad system to exhibit to its patrons the most approved ideas in landscaping or beautifying grounds. The example has already exerted widespread influence, melting private effort to beautifylng un- attractive premises.
 The time will come when the traveller along other highways than the railroads will be. greeted at every turn by new spectacle of color and arrangement But first the roads must be improved An ex- quiste garden can appeal with but little force to a man driving upon a rutted and muddy thoroughfare

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Booker T. Washington a guest at dinner at the White House formed the text on which at least four Chicago ministers constructed their sermons yesterday. They were as of one mind In commend ing President Roosevelt and In the force fitness with which they pointed to the error in southern criticism.
 Theodore Roosevelt is President of the whole American people. and he gave practical illustration of that great fact" said Bishop Samuel Fallows.
 Tt is n welcome herald of the days when men shall be measured solely by the quality Of their intellects and their morals" was the argument of Dr. H. W. Thomas
 "The act points to the early recognition of the fatherhood of God and the brother hood of man." was the comment of the Rev. A. L. Murray
 MT. Washington was at the Presidents table not as negro, but as an Amer ican citizen." declared the Rev. A. !. Carey.
 Speaking of '"The Unity of the Human Race" Bishop Fallows said:
 President Roosevelt has shown his Christian manhood In the invitation he gave Booker T. Washington to dine with him. It was purely personal act on the part of the President, but If it had been an official one he would have been justi- fled in asking this distinguished colored scholar, orator and educator to break bread with him.
 Theodore Roosevelt Is President of the whole American people It is absurd to find fault with him for giving a practical illustration of that great fact It is un- generous, to say the least, for any one in the southern portion of the country to criticise him when the reason of the friendly interview with Washington was to benefit the south.
 'The sober second thought of his critics will be In the right direction. The Presi- dent has committed neither a crime nor a blunder. The overwhelming sentiment of the nation is with him.
 Dr. Thomas took for his subject 'HThe Greater Man; the Greater God" and in the course of his sermon said:
 That time Is near when man will be measured, not by the acidents of wealth, or race, or color but by the moral quail ties of his being. It has been left to this country to bring forth the highest inter-

BaIIoonipu in Paris.

It is asserted that the experimental balloon of M. Santos-Dumont, how ever dirigible it may be, is misleading, delaying rather than hastening the final solution of aerial navigation. It is boldly asserted that bulky in Hated body must under all circum- stances be buffeted by winds in a perilous manner. Those who hold to this theory say, as does the Chicago Record-Herald, that the machine with which man will one day navigate the air will have no balloon attachment, but will be powerful enough in its motor mechanism to propel itself through space regardless of varying breezes and aerial disturbances.
 This theory relegates to the long future all sailing in the air, and it is by no means certain that gravitation

PRESIDENTS APPOINTMENT.

From the London Saturday Review.
 It appears that President Roosevelt has appointed a Democrat, one in every way fitted for the post, to an important judi cial position In Alabama. This makes the new President a really dangerous man; ; for If he Is going to make merit and not party the test of fitness for office, what becomes of the spells system? And if the epoils system goes, with it goes the ma chine, and the whole fabric of American party politics comes down with crash From the primaries to the conventions finally adopting the Presidential candi- date the flutter among the politicians will be great. What oratory will be devot- ed to this "tampering with the pillars of the constitution" as the rings and the bosses would describe the Presidents s weakness for merit. If Mir. Roosevelt has the courage to go through with this de- parture there will be battle of giants On the one side ''suprema salus reipub- licae," on the other, the bread and but ter, the very existence, of all those who have held American politics In their hands since the civil war. Unfortunately, the politicians are likely to prepare resolute- ly and early for this war to the knife realizing Its significance long before the better elemtns of the American people We are on the side of the angels, but we would back the devils to win.
