 At a recent meeting of the Comm mercial and Industrial Association of Montgom- cry. Ala. says The Southern Farm Mag aLine, it was stated that ''tas trs ding sec ton adiacent to that citv." meaning a few counties around it. spent last year $4. .629 25O for nay, oats, corn. flour and packing house products. brought from points outside the district.
 This large sum of money, as Is noted in a report made to the association by Its Secretary. MT. L. L. Gilbert, was spent for produce, "every pound of which could, and should, have been raised" in the district, and represents the value of l14o00 bales of cotton" or about two- thirds of the entire receipts at Montgom- cry. How can country prosper" he asked in his report. which is drained every year in this manner?" and he sug- gested the appointment of a committee to draft a plan for organized effort to remedy the evil. for the benefit of all the important local interests it concerns.
 The evil. of course. Is not confined to Montgomery and the district about that city. It obtains in every district in South Carolina, and no special effort Is being made to correct 1t in any one of them The Investigations of the Montgomery Association serve. however. to explain very clearly where the profits on the cotton crop go, and for what,

The old Yankee stock appears to be dis. appearing in Massachusetts. From the statements in the ofiicial reports on vital statistics. it appears that during the year 1900 73.ss6 babies were born in Massa- chusetts. Of this number 37.772 were boys. 35.G4 girls: 2s.0o6 of native and 2s.oe2 of foreign parentage. The popula. tion of the State in that year was 2.so5,. S46, of which number 1.959.022 were native born and s4e3A foreign born. On this basis The Boston Herald figures that while the native-born outnumber the foreign born by more than two to one
 the number of bifths among the foreign. born exceeds those among the native. born in about the same proportion. The same paper states that in 1900 there were 24,s42 marriages. 1o.695 among the native and s.So7 among the foreign-born. but al the result of these marriages there were Fl children of native and L4 children ot foreign percentage. ..

WE DIDN'T DO IT.

Where did The Montgomery Advertiser obtain the impression that after express ing disapproval of the Presidents verdict in the Schley case. The Landmark sug- gested that the, country let it go at that?" Tine Landmark disavows the sen- timent. The Schley case ought to be pushed until Schley gets the justice to which he is entitled. Congress ought to settle the whole matter by passing a special resolution of gratitude and con- fdence. The Advertiser has gone and mixed us up with some other fellow Norfolk Landmark.
 We have frequently taken occasion to chige our esteemed contemporary, as a father chideth loved son, for its vain amaginings and its inclination to go of at half-cock, but 1t will not be warned. The Landmark quoted paragraph from The Baltimore American which severely criticised the President for his action in the case, and said that 1t might be, will ins. to 'Iet it go at that" meaning, of course, that 1t saw no reason to criticise The Americans article. Then The Advertiser quoted the same article and added that we, also, might "let it go at that" meaning that The American s article was sufficient and that we agreed with 1t.
 All this was plain enough, but our woolly-brained contemporary, wanting something to buck at, fell into the error of supposing that we were accusing it of a desire to drop the Schley matter. We knew better than to make such charge. AS a dropper The Landmark is a distinct failure. It never drops anything as long as it has even the end of the tail to hang on to. We deny the charge that we mixed those babies up. !" and asserts that our jolly brother can't possibly be mixed with anything. Now will you be good?

SENATORS WILL OPPOSE
The Admission of the Three New i, States.

The Admission of the Three New {, States.
 Washington Special to Louisville Courier
 Journal tt
 The House Committee on Territories will favorably report the bill introduced by Moon of Tennessee creating the h. dian Territory into the Territory of Jef- ferson. This bill Is designed to place In- dian Territory on an equal footing with Arizona, Oklahoma and New Mexico. There is every indication that the House will favorably act upon the bill of pro- viding for Statehood for the Territories. The Senate, however. will be reluctant to consent to .he admission of six or eight additional members in the near fu- ,ture. Politically, Oklahoma IS Republi- can. by small majority, while the In- dian Territory or Territory of Jefferson is overwhelmingly Democratic. If the two Territories were merged into one State, the prospect would favor Demo- cratic success. Political considerations similar to these in all respects exist in the other two Territories. Arizona is usually Democratic. and New Mexico is at present Republican, but with strong Democratic leanings. Thus, for the po- litical aspects of the case, the Republi- can managers are not encouraged to look 'favorably upon the application of any of these Territories for admission to the sisterhood of States except Oklahoma.

THE PREsIDENT

Has Illinois Man in Mind for [
 Cabinet Position.
 washington Special to Chicago Record.
 William J. Calhoun will probably be the Illinois member of President Roosevelt! Cabinet. MT. Calhoun is now in the mind of the President for any vacancy tha' may arise in his ofiiciaf family. He may be appointed Secretary ot the Interior upon the retirement of Secretary Hitch cock, which Is expected in the near flu. ture. Or he may be. made secretary oi the new executive department, that oi Manufactures and Commerce.
 MT. Calhoun was at the White House last night. He came upon the invitation of President Roosevelt. The President wished to consult with him concerhine the political situation in Illinois. It l. well known that MT. Roosevelt ts good deal annoyed by the present condition oi affairs in the Republican party of that State, and he finds 1t anything but ar easy matter to draw the line of absolute neutrality which he sometime ago decided upon. The President has great confidenc< in Mfr. Calhoun's judgment and fairness He realizes that MT. Calhoun occupies . position of neutrality. being on friendly terms with both factions. MT. Roosevelt would like light as to the true inward ness of things in Illinois. and kept MT. Calhoun at the White House for an hour and a half that he might get it.
 Mir. Calhoun is a man whom the Presi- dent likes and admires. and he Is neutral between the two factions of the party in the State. For a successor to Secretary Long in the Navy Department the Presi- dent will go to New England. For a new Secretary of the Interior or Secretary of Manufactures and Commerce, he thinks strongly of going to Illinois.
 Before leaving the city last night, Mir. Calhoun refused to discuss his interview with the President, or even to admit that he had had such an interview. It ~is known that Mir. Calhoun recently refused an offer. to go to New York as counsel al largeSsalary for John W. Gates. Mr. Calhoun Is well known in Washington where he was for a year a member of the Interstate Commerce Compission. He also served on a Cuban commission for President Mckinley.
 President Roosevelt this morning die. tated the following statement:
 The President again reiterated today to various Illinois representatives, both In Congress and in executive offices, that he expected his appointees in Illinois tc keep clear of any active factional work that the election of Senator from Tiff. nois was for the Illinois people only te decide, and that he expected the Federal appointees in that State to serve thei, party by doing tbeir work in their re. spective offices in first-class shape and by refraining from any improper factionaj activity in connection with matters with which the Federal administration had nc proper concern"

New Variations Needed.

New York Evening Post.
 We suggest that the gentlemen at Washington who are shiyering over Mir. Babcock's moves in the matter of steel ard iron duties observe carefully the present situation of the trade. An oppor- tunity is in fact at hand for the defend CTS of our infant industries to point out foreign, invasion at its very beginning. The Treasurys foreign trade report for 1901 made no mention of imports of steel rails. Last week. however. The Iron Age noticed the report that a we'll known Southern railway had ordered 2,000 to 5000 tons abroad. In tke whole of last year less than 2OOOO tons of all kinds of foreign steel were imported by this coun- try. Our Pittsburg correspondent called attention on Saturday to the fact that a committee of manufacturers in the Pitts burg steal trade~ were about to advise the importation of 100000 tons in bars from Germany. Under such circum- stances a few new variations on the fa- miliar theme of "The Nahon's Industries in Peril" ought certainly to be forthcom- Ing.

Letters to The Editor.
The Hip-poeket Evil.

Editor The Advertiser:
 The frequency of accidental and inten- tional shooting has for some time in- volved the safety of both sexes. and the matter should receive attention.
 There are too many pistols carried and too many made, yet remedying the first will remedy the second. Make the fine $500 or five years Imprisonment. and only a short time will be required to effect a decrease of accidents and crime.
 he~passage of no other law would do half so much good as would this one, and 1t should be national. Lift from the hip-pockets of boys and men these dan gerous and altogether useless weapons Likewise large knives and razors) and 1t would not only improve the country nor ally, but would in time unite mankind into one vast band of brotherhood.
 Manly men do not carry weapons-only silly young men and towards.
 Parents who buy toy pistols and air rifles for their little boys are surely pro- vlding the initial means for the distruc- ton of fellowman or for self-destruction. If we cannot have the protection of a national law, let it at least pass in our home State. Will not Alabama lead with the banner of reform?

ILL1NoIs POLITICIANS
The Senatorial Contest Causing Quite
 m Amount of Friction.


 Washington Special to N. Y. World.
 President Roosevelt spent most of this morning dealing with Illinois politics. Complaints had been made tbft William D. Ridgeiey, Comptroller of the Cur rency, who is a son-in-law of Senator Cullom, was using his office to further the interests of Charles D. Dawes in his fight for the Senatorship. Dawes was fo. merly Comptroller of the Currency. The Comptroller has had unlimited power in appointing receivers for national banks and their clerks and attorneys. Dawes put Illinois men, all over the country in big places.
 Ridgeley was following the Dawes plan. The President called Ridge1ey over this morning, informed him that he must make appointments for business, not po- litical. reasons. and told him that here- after all receivership appointments must be submitted for executive approval.
 This Is hard blow to Dawes. It em- phasixes the fact that the President does not intend to have Government machin- cry used in the promotion of anybody ( candidacy for Senatorship. There are four or five candidates for Mason's seat. including Mason himself. Each candidate heads faction in the Republican party. Some time ago the President announced tndt ue lHtenQeQ to auOW the r1OpkluS- Yates Lorfmer faction some of the Fed eral appointments.
 Hopkins picked out the Collectorship of Internal Revenue at East St. Louis and selected Ben Hogan for the job. The President promised Hogan the place. To- day Hogan was at the White House. The President told him he would have to re- frain from working for Hopkins for the Senate. Hogan promptly withdrew, his name. saying he would not keep out of politics. The place is still open for some Hopkins man who will make the desired promise.

CANADA LOOKS TO ISLAND
Eager for Reciprocity Deal With
 Cuban Republic.

Eager TOT Hec1proc1ty Oeal W1tn
 Cuban Republic.
 ottswa tCanada) Special to Chicago
 Tribune
 It is admitted here that Canadian agents are in Cuba for the purpose of working up reciprocity treaty with that country.
 After the Inauguration of President Palma and negotiation of the treaty bind ing Cuba to observe the terms of the Platt amendment. Cuba will be free to make commercial arrange ments with Canada. Such deal will be carried on by private agency. and will not be of- ficial until an understanding is reached.
 The Government of Canada has no rec cgnized agents, commercial or otherwise, in Cuba, but a number of prominent Can nadians are interested in various Cuban enterprises, one of the most important of which Is the railway construction in- itiated and carried on, by Sir William Van Horne and his syndicate. Sir William was until his resignation recently the President of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way. and he Is now chairman of the Board of Directors of that company. He Is a man of commanding influence in Canada and enjoys the personal friend ship of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Prime Minis ter of Canada. and close personal rela- tions with most of the other members of the Canadian Cabinet.
 Among the influential circle of Cana diaris operating in Cuba there are sev- eral others who. by reason of their po- litical or financial connections or in other ways. are admirably fitted for such a mission. ...... .. .,
 Canada is in position to supply cuba's needs In flour, canned goods, provis' 'ons, and other products largely in demand there at least as advantageously as the United States can and take Cuba's sugars in return. "a ~
 Canada's imports of raw sugar already form a large item of her purchases of foreign products, exceeding 299 0OO, 900 pounds last year, of a value of $6,s2 1882, on which duty was collected yaggregat- ing 2,M2,010. Of refined sugars, sirups, and molasses, Canada was a consumer last year to the extent of over 379 00o, 900 pounds. valued at s1,06s, ,412, on which $455. 794 duty was paid.
 There Is nothing to restrain Canada from entering into reciprocity arrange ment with Cuba should both countries so desire. No existing most favored na- tion treaties are in the way. Until 1898 there were most favored nation treaties between Great Britain and Germany and Belgium, but these were denounced and have ceased to exist since the first of August, 1898. Canada's, S, freedom of action is completely unfettered
 It is true that under the present tarifr law the operation of the preference of one-third of the duty Is confined to Great Britain, and her colonies reciprocating. But Parliament has full power to extend the preference to other countries quali-
