A PlNe.PoNe cADDY NECESSARY.

From the New I OIh "oilu'
 Emphatic denial is made at the McKin- ley home that Mrs Mckinley will soon leave for Atlantic City for her health. It is stated that Mrs. Mckinley will un- der no circumstances consent to leave Canton at this time. She is so greatly attached to her old friends and so thor oughly devoted to her daily drives to the cemetery and about the city that she will not leave unless absolutely forced to do so. There rests the body of her marty rcd husband and there she derives co 'n- fort and strength. Her health continues as good as for many years and her friends see no necessity that she should go elsewhere.
 The report received at Canton was that arrangements were being made at At lantic City by Judge W. R. Day. former secretary of state to take Mrs. McKin- ley there.

CRUSADE AGAINST SWEARING.

From the Palmyra Record.
 A movement has lately been started by The Philadelphia Inquirer which seems to be new venture for a daily paper. It is a crusade against the swearing one must hear every day of his life Last Sunday this subject of swearing was severely dealt with from thousands of pulpits in this State. And not only has the church entered this movement afresh but we notice many anti-swearing socie- ties have been formed whose sole pur- pose is the suppression of this evil The moveme ent has been such as ought to call forth a local in every local paper. Swear ing is profane. He who utters low, vile and loathsome words lowers himself in dignity before God and man..

The weekly papers of the state, with few exceptions, are devoting more atten- tlo1 to the material interests of their con- stituency than to pestiferous politics. Ala bama's agricultural possibilities have been too long neglected.

Birmingham has one man that shows signs of measuring up to the full status of the times. That man Is Alex T. Lon- don. He has hit several blows of late at various men and things that are re- tarding the growth and progress of the state. We do not know Mir. London per- sonally, but have high regard for him. He should be called up higher; and if Birmingham can spare him from it's mayorship, we'd like to see him in the next legislature. Such men as Alex T. London are wanted in the public po- sitions of Alabama.

THE CERAN TREATY..

The confidence which We have expressed IN
the success of the Cuban reciprocity negota-
lions is being yindicated- As our dispatches
have reported. treaty has been drafted and
signed by official representatives of the two
governments. 1t still lacks the signatures OF
two other officials, which it viii doubtless
promptly receive. 1t also requires ratification
by the Senates of the two countries which we
cannot doubt it will receive. The next few
weeks should see the convention an effected and
effective fact.
Nearly month ago The Tribune accurately
and comprehensively forecast the contents and
provisions of this treaty, and its effect upon
commerce and industry. 1t may be regretted
that its terms are not still more liberal Never
theIess the mutual concessions made, probably
the best that are practically obtainable at this
time, will doubtless prove OF much material al
vantage. The United States could well afford
the slight reduction of its revenues which the
90 per cent concession TO Cuba might cause
though as a matter of fact there is likely to be
none at all, the increase OF imports probably
counterbalancing the reduction of rate Cuba
could not stand a reduction of revenue and she
will not be called upon to suffer any. the con-
cession to this country being made not by low
ering rates to us, but by raising them against
each of the two countries an advantage over
all competitors in the markets of the other 10
stimulate Cuban industry and to extend Ameri-
can commerce We may confidently add that
it will tend TO strengthen and confirm the ties
of political and social relationship between the
two countries.
1t is worthy of passing note that this treaty
has been made at the instance and request or
the United States. In that fact there is a GER
tain sentimental retribution for folly last
winter. Mr.. Pavey, of this city, set forth the
facts of the case at the reciprocity convention
last week when he said: lone year ago the
"Cubans were seeking TO secure reciprocity with
1.-The United States upon almost any terms in
order TO save themselves from bankruptcy. To-
sday ii is the United States that is seeking
reciprocity treaty with Cuba" That should be
borne in mind by all who may be disposed in
any way to criticise the present convention
This country had an opportunity to dictate its
own terms; but through the sordid Vaccinations
of a dog in the manger ring 1t neglected and
even fouted it If now its opportunity is less
advantageous it is simply paying the inevitable
penalty of i'll doing.
The penalty is, however. more in sentiment
than III fact. 1t is to be believed that the ar
rangement contemplated in this treaty will
prove highly beneficial to this country. Ger
tainly the prospect of its doing so Is amply sniff
cient TO warrant prompt and unanimous ratifi-
cation Of the treaty which has been negotiated.
