Immigration.
II AEaAiIa pA~i0t av

Mir. Fred W. Brown, of Chicago. presi dent of an immigration company of Bald win county. that has established several enterprises there and contemplates more, is in the city, a uest of the Bienville. To a reporter he said yesterday, that he was here at this time especially to secure a a civil engineer, as his company has l60OO to lS0OO acres of land to survey imme- diately. The company's proposition. he says, are forwarding satisfactorily The recent provisional purchase of something more than 5000 acres of land in Baldwin county, adjoining the lands already own ed. is practically completed, as all that was necessary was his approval of the abstracts, and these seem to him all right MT Brown believes there will be a large movement to Baldwin county this win ter from the north. He says the work ing people of the North who have been able to save a little money find they can not buy land except for fabulous prices, and so they are inclined this way, where land is cheaper. and when they learn that this is a very beautiful portion of the country they purchase, and he says many
 will remove here soon for permanent res- idence. There are several colonization
 companies in Baldwin county and all are
 doing well, and helping materially in the upbuilding of the county.

First-Mr. Clarke Is running on the Kansas City platform, while the Cleve- land Democrats propose to repudiate that platform.
 Second-Mr. Clarke heartily endorses all of that platform except one plank. while the Cleveland Democrats do not heartily endorse any considerable part of it.
 Third-Mr. Clarke showed himself will ing to risk the enforcement of all the platform by giving active support to the tickot in 1900, while most of the Cleve- land Democrats preferred a gold stand ard empire to a bimetallic republic.
 Fourth-Mr. Bryan. after hearing Mir. Clarke and talking with him, was con- vinced that he is in sympathy with the people and opposed to the plutocratic ten- dencies of the Republican party, while the leading Cleveland Democrats are, as a rule, more plutocratic than the aver age Republican leaders.
 Fifth-Mr. Bryan was also convinced that MT. Clarke is sound on all the acute phases of the money question and that his sympathies will lead him to the right side of the metallic part of the money question.
 Sixth-Even if MT. Clarke were all wrong on the money question, his vote could only injure the party in case there was close vote on that question. while a Cleveland Democrat in the White House could do the party irreparable harm by throwing the influence of the administra- l tion against the party's position at all | times.
 Seventh--The election of Mir. Clarke. even if he were wholly objectionable, would, In part at least, be offset by the fact that the same Legislature that would elect him would give the people home rule In the cities a two-cent passenger rate and more just taxation, thus enab- ling the Democrats to make a record that would strengthen the party for future contests, while a President deals with na- tional questions.
 ! Mir. Bryan. in the statement given out at Columbus. said that he would have preferred some one who had been active in support of all Democratic policies, but that under all the circumstances he thought the Kansas City platform Dem ocrats should support Mir. Clarke and the Democratic legislative ticket. Rehec- tion has strengthened this opinion. and he hopes that no Democrat will delude himself with the idea that a Republican victory in Ohio would help the Demo- cratic party in the nation. | But for the reasons above given 1t ought to be clear to any sensible man that the support of a Clarke legislative ticket does not commit one to the advocacy or even to the federation of a Cleveland Demo- crat for the Democratic presidential nom- ination.

YELLOW PINE FURNIruaE.

We have recently noticed in several ex- changes mention of an advertisement by a furniture dealer in New York of bed- room suites of Georgia pine; bed, bureau and washstand, s95; reduced from SEQ" and 1t is evident that 1t Is not owing to the cost of material, for Georgia pine,' like all other yellow pine in the South. does not yet command such a price as to justify the figures above quoted. Evil dsntly the value was owing to the extra style and finish of the work.
 Commenting on the incident, some of our contemporaries jump to the conclu- sion that all the furniture makers should at once devote themselves to yell low pine. and that it will at once take the place of the hard woods which are fast becoming scarce and expensive. Ma hogany, rosewood &sld other fine foreign woods are too hi. priced for people of limited or moderate means. and even our native hard woods are disappearing and furniture made from them is bringing high prices, when well made.
 We admit all this, and admit that our Southern pine has a beautiful grain, and that it can be easily worked into any shape or style desired. Much of 1t bears fine polish. but its one great defect is the turpentine in 1t. When polished and vanished like other woods it looks well for brief time, but after little the turpentine forces its way to the surface and destroys the finish. That Is the great obstacle in the way of fine work. This New York manufacturer may have some method by which he can so kip the tur- pentine that it will not exude and destroy | the finish and appearance of the work. | but if he has his plan Is not generally
 known. We have seen a great deal of yellow pine work which was handsome
 when new. but in a short time its beauty
 was destroyed by the action of the tur- pentine. If that difficulty can be over
 come or avoided, 1t will be easy to make
 handsome furniture out of pine and at prices far below those of the New York dealer.

BUILDING MATERIAL OF THE
 FUTURE,

With the rapid and continuous disap- pearance of the forests comes the problem of finding building material It is appa- rent to all who give any attention to the subject that we can no longer afford to build of wood to such an extent as for meriy. True, within a recent period, we have seen iron and steel entering largely into all kinds of structural work. A man does not have to be old to re- member when such a thing as a metal bridge or building was almost unknown, but now not only bridges. but the frames of houses and towers are composed large ly of either iron or steel. or both
 But notwithstanding the fact that metal is so largely taking the place of wood, it has many disadvantages which are dif- ficult to overcome. Its cost Is one thing. and it's great weight stands in the way of its general use at distance from the place of manufacture. Besides. its forma- ton into building material requires large and expensive works for shaping the vari- ous parts.
 These and other objections to metal as a structural material render it's general adaptation for building objectionable. at least under present conditions. and neces- sitate the finding of substitute for both wood and metal. Almost fifty years ago, as some of our readers may remember, Prof. o. s. Fowler became an enthusiast on the subject of building houses of ce- nient mixed with stone or gravel. He built a large house for himself, wrote books and essays, made speeches and in every way endeavored to popularize what he claimed to be the building material of the future. Houses were built of 1t in Alabama as we'll as in other States, but from some cause or other it never became popular.
 Lately We have read good deal about and we find in an exchange a paper or letter from Mir. Catlett of staunton, Va. saying
 IL is capable. on proper mixture with large amount of cheap. inert material universally distributed of taking the form of any space which 1t is desired to oc- cupy, and of changing in short time to q material rock-li!se in character and resistant to all the forces of decay.
 This Is satisfactory; as far as 1t goes, but 1t leaves out the matter of cost Peo- pie who are able can build houses of brick or stone, or metal, or high-priced lumber, but what is wanted is a material which is cheap and plentiful. and which can be easily worked. The Portland ce- ment plan may fill all these requirements. but we do not know that it does. The demand is for some method by which a house can be built as cheaply and require as little skill in it's erection as did the log houses of the pioneers. Something practically as cheap as dirt and which will not require skilled vorkmen to build the house. We fear Portland cement will not nll these requirements. and that the world will have to look further for a cheap and easily obtainable building ma. terial.

A Selma Reader" writes:

Suppose Jett is confined in the peniten- tiary and at the shortest time that may be agreeable to him and the sheriff he Is executed in the prison walls-wouldn't both sentences be carried out to the iet- ter?
 Well, if he Is sentenced to imprisonment for life, the sheriff would have no au- thority to agree with him on the short est time" or any other time. nor would he have a right to execute the prisoner. even at his own request. If Jett Is i'm prisoned for life. only the Governor could release him. and that would be by a par don or parole. either of which would be a bar to capital punishment. Eyen If the Governor has the power to remit a DOT ton of life prisoners sentence. we do not see how he could then be hanged Selma Reader will have to try again.

PARKS IS FOR PEACE.
Walking Delegate Says He Has Had
 Enough Fighting.

New York. Oct. 5.-Samuel Parks. walk ing delegate to the HousesmIths and Bridgemens' Union, returned today from Kansas City and announced that he was for peace with the employees under an arbitration agreement. and that he had had enough fighting. and was rcGCy to re- tire as a leader in favor of a younger and more vigorous man. He declared also that it was not true that he in- tended to call strike on the East River bridge.
 Members of the Employers Association, organized to promote peace agreements with the unions, said they would not re- cognize Parks. nor the Housesmiths Union: that all the trades unions were in favor of the arbitration plan. and work would generally be resumed.

Quite the Reverse.

Chattanooga Times.
 The esteemed New Orleans Times Dem ocrat does not think that Grover Cleve- land should be pitted against Theodore Roosevelt. for such change would be merely in men and not in the internal policies of the country "A change of President that does not mean change of government policy" 1t says. would in- dIcate only personal victory. with soma difference in the distribution of the spells This would mean much to the spoilsmen. but not to the people at large" Quite the reverse. A change of Presidents in this case would be the substitution of a genuine Democratic administrative policy peculiarly and particularly of benefit to the people and not at all advantageous to the spoilsmen-and that is the only thing that Is the matter with Grover Cleveland. If he enjoyed the confidence and esteem of the spoilsmen his nomina- tion would be sure. although his election would in that event hardly reach the stage of even the problematic. If MT. Cleveland had been the spollsman's friend we would probably never have heard of that "cross of gold" or the thorn clad brow of labor"

says-rhe Chattanooga Times:

The Alabama Legislature took a for ward movement in passing an anti-boy- colt and anti-blacklist law The wonder Ia not that such a law was necessary. but that the politicians of the Legislature had the nerve to tackle it. The labor agi- tators and the credit men" however, daren't boycott or black list the members because of the penalty.
 well, the politicians had little to do with it. There was lobby against it, of course, but the people of Alabama de- manded a law of the kind and they got 1t. No doubt some walking delegate would be glad to boycott all the members who supported the measure, but they will hardly attempt to measure their strength against such a positive enactment
