That the Court Of Appeals adopted
precisely the same view Is evident from
this portion of JudgeHAIGHr's opinion:

The Last Chances to Register.

The registration of to-day and to-
morrow, the two last days in which that
prime duty of citizenship can be per-
formed, must exceed the total registra
ton of last Friday and Saturday if the
danger and disgrace Of a return Of Tam
many domination in New York are surely
to be- averted.
Last week the fierce storm afforded a
good excuse for not performing that
duty, since another opportunity re-.
manned for its discharge this week; but
to-day and tomorrow there will be no
excuse for neglect, for there will be no
possibility Of its repsration.
The assumption So frequently made
since last Saturday, that the volume Of
the registration on the first two days
affords basis for the sure measurement
of the total registration for an election.
is not borne out by precedent. Only
last year the registration Of the final
days exceeded the total for the first two,
in both Manhattan and Brooklyn, yet
the interest in that election, for Gov
ernor, was languid as compared with
the interest in this canvass.
If the citizens of New York really want
to save this town from the clutches Of
Tsmmany they will make the roll Of the
registered greater than it was when
they drove Tammany from power two
years ago.
The places Of registration are open
to-day from O. clock in the morning till
10 in the evening.

The Arbitration Treaty Between
England and France.

We have before us the text of the arbi-
tration treaty signed on Oct. IA by the
British Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs and the French Ambasss dor at
the Court of st. James's. Assuming that
the treaty will be ratified, we are con-
cerned to examine the extent to which it
seems likely to diminish the risk OF war
between the parties, and the influence
which it's example may exert upon other
countries.
We may say at once that this arbitra-
ton treaty binds the parties to nothing,
each of them being at liberty to construe
as it pleases the elastic obligations sup
posed to have been assumed. The first
article provides that differences of a
judicial order, or such as relate to the
Interpretation Of treaties existing be-
tween the two contracting parties, which
may arise between them, and which it
may not be possible to settle by means
of diplomacy, shall be submitted to the
Permanent Court of Arbitration estab-
lished at The Hague by the convention
of July 20, 1899" Should. however, ques-
tions arise not covered by any treaty, or
should either of the contracting parties
be dissatisfied with the substance of an
existing treaty, and decline to be tied
down by it. a situation would be presented
to which the agreement just signed would
be inapplicable.
Even in cases which should clearly
turn on the Interpretation of existing
treaties, it is by no means certain that
the new agreement would be operative,
for the prescribed condition Of referring
q particular difference to the tribunal at
The Hague is that the difference does not
involve either vital interests or the in
dependence or honor of the two contract
ing States, or affect the interests Of a
third Power" Who is to judge whether
interests are vital" and whether a
nations independence or honor" is at
stake? Obviously as regards such ques-
tons, each nation must judge for itself.
How it would judge would depend partly
or mainly on the feeling with which, at
the moment, it happened to regard the
other party to the present agreement
just now, for instance, France might
consent to refer to the Court of Arbitra-
ton at The Hague an Interpretation Of
the rights conceded to her on the west
shore of Newfoundland by the Treaty
of Utrecht and subsequent treaties in
confirmation or modification thereof
Two or three years ago, however, when
the Fashoda incident and disgust at Eng
lands determination to throttle the Boer
republics had infected Paris with anglo
phObia in an acute form, the French peo-
pie would have scofYed at the idea Of re-
ferring o arbitration the question Of their
interests in Newfoundland, on the ground
that those interests were vital, and that
the maintenance Of them involved their
national honor,
This arbitration treaty, therefore,
should be regarded merely as symptom
Of a material change in the sentiment
with which the French and British peO-
pies now look at one another. The change
should, doubtless, DO attributed in large
part TO the personal Influence Of King

No portion of the United
States has made greater prog
ress in the last year or two
than the South. Northern ard
foreign capital is rapidly in
vading that section, finding
profitable investments in the
various industries and facto-
ries that are being rapidly de-
veloped and built. The great
Influx of settlers is creating an
increased demand for lands OF
all kinds and prices are grad
ually advancing, as'they will
for years to come. Work is
plentiful and poverty practi-
cally unknown. Alabama is
supplying coal and iron 10 all
the world. More money can
be made and with less labor in
the raising of small fruits and
berries and in'truck patching
on the Gulf coast THAI in apv
otherstate in the Union. Straw
berries from Alabama reach
northern markets before those
from the states in the south
east. Cattle can be raised
with great profit, there being
