OTHER PRESIDENTIAL BooMs.


1t j. haxd1 nrahahlA that tia eeaEt
\ - srart a presidential boOm ~ George
B. Mcclellan, Mayor OF New York.
will amount to a great deal. The
friends of Mr.. Mcclellan seem to think
he has a chance for the nomination
Notwithstanding the fact that his name
was not mentioned in the Democratic
convention of his state. A carefully
worded circular was sent from New
York TO leading Democrats Of Pennsyl-
vania on last Thursday in which 1t
was pointed out that Pennsylvania had
a chance TO name the candidate OF the
Democratic party for President. II
called attention to Mr.. McClellan's
popularity in his own state, his sue
cess in carrying the city OF New York
at the municipal election, and declared
that he could easily carry the doubt
full Eastern states and also Indiana.
The inference drawn from the cir
cular was that there had been an un-
Outstanding between Col. Guffey, the
chairman of the Pennsylvania delega-
ton, and Mr.. Murphy, the Tammany
leader, to bring about the nomination
of Mr. Mcclellan, that Mr.. Murphy
was to secure an uninstructed delega-
ton in New York and Col. Guffey was
to secure an uninstructed delegation
from Pennsylvania. and that perhaps
they had an understanding with leading
Democrats of other states in regard
to unrestricted delegations. Col. Cuff
fey was able to carry out his part of
the programme. but Mr.. Murphy fail
ed. The sending of the circular letter
to Pennsylvania Democrats. however,
may indicate that the plan to bring
about the nomination of Mr.. McClel-
Ian has not been abandoned. although
Mr.. Murphy is not in a position to give
a Mcclellan boom much assistance.
And it is doubtful If Col. Guffey
could deliver the Pennsylvania dele
cation to Mr.. Mcclellan. 1t is known
that most of the Pennsylvania dele
gates favor the nomination of Judge
Parker, and they would hardly permit
themselves to be used to promote
schemes of Col. Guffey and Mr.. Muir
ply.
Another boom that has been launch
ed is that of Col. James Kilbourne OF
Columbus, o. He has committee
that is sending out circulars in his be-
half. 1t is doubtful If he is expecting
much Of a vote on the first ballot. Per-
haps he is thinking there may be
chance for him in the event Of the fall
ure to nominate Judge Parker. 1t
wouldn't be surprising If there should
be a number of other candidates be-
fore the meeting of the st. Louis con-
yention. 1t looks now. however. as II
Judge Parker would have two-thirds OF
the convention on the second or third
ballot. On the first ballot there VIII
be complimentary ballots cast for faV-
orlte sons. The South and the East
will be almost solid for Judge Parker
and the indications are that he Will
have enough of the Western delegates
to give him the nomination.
It NAV be that the Mcclellan circu-
lar is a move on the part of Tammany
to scare Mr.. Hill into making conees-
sions in state politics. The trouble
among New York Democrats is due to
patronage, not to any hostility to Judge
Parker.

In 1899 the people of Colorado by
popular vote adopted a constitutional
amendment making it imperative upon
the Legislature to pass an eight-hour
law. But the Legislature has failed
to comply with that amendment and
no such law has been passed. Out of
this has grown the labor trouble that
is now disturbing the state. About d
year ago the Federation of Miners Or
Gered a strike, which is still on. Fol-
lowing the calling out of the men some
complained that the strikers were de-
stroying their property and asked for
protection. The Governor ordered out
troops, and the troops have been on
duty ever since. At certain of the
mines martial law was declared. This
has resulted in frequent conflicts be-
tween the civil and the military au-
thorities, each declining TO obey the
orders of the other. The strikers as
sert that the operators are to blame
for the refusal of the Legislature to
carry into effect the eight-hour pro-
vision of the constitutional amend
ment, which charge the operators
deny. Meanwhile there obtains a con-
dition closely bordering on to civil
war in that section.

Interest In the Zoo.

''The state is taking a lively interest in the geological garden to be established by the children of Birmingham" said gentleman from Mobile yesterday. T notice that all the state papers are dis cussing the project and the consensus of opinion seems to be that a zoo is just the thing needed At present there is no in- stitution of the kind in Alabama that could aspire to the dignity of being called a geological garden and it will do much to increase Birminghams prestige when the zoo is established here.
 Tn the large cities a zoo is considered indispensable. Life would indeed be dreary for thousands of children if there were no parks and no geological gardens in the cities. In fact many boys and girls grow up without much more of na- ture than is afforded by these places. hope that the movement will meet with the success it deserves and that the all- important elephant will arrive at no dis tant date"

Cotton in the Counties.

Five black belt counties stand at the ] ,ad of the lis. of cotton-producing counties of the state as follows: Montgomery, 38,7S7 bales; Dallas, ST.. PAP; Wilcox, 32,245; Marengo, 32,160, and Lowndes, 31,1 ,124 bales. Last year these were the only counties in this state that made 3O,000 bales each.
 But all the cotton grown in this state is not grown in the black belt. The Tennessee river counties are all good producers. Madison turned out last year 21,273 bales. Some of the counties in canebrake sections did we'll last year. Henry and Houston's s crop taken together was 33,S14 bales. Every county grew some cotton last year, even Mobile, whose crop was ninety-six bales. This was low water mark. But Jefferson made but 5,0S7 bales, and this county is full of valleys in which cotton could be grown.
 Probably no state has a better diff fused crop. Baldwin, like Mobile, is weak as cotton producer, and Walker and Winston each make less than 4,000 bales, but the other sixty-four counties contribute handsomely to- wards the million bales that Alabama is expected to make each year Few and an average production of 15,000 bales per county was met last year, and may perhaps be handsomely ex- ceeded this year.

Crop Conditions in Alabama.

The weather bureaus weekly sum- mary of crop conditions, covering last week, says the weather in Alabama has not been favorable for germina- tion or growth of the cotton plant. It was too cool and too dry, except in the northern part ot the state where favorable showers had fallen. The cotton is nearly all planted, but is coming up slowly. The stands are un- satisfactory, and much replanting will be necessary.
 The reports received from Alabama by the New York Journal of Commerce are of a similar nature as to germina- ton and poor stand. Warmth and moisture have beer lacking. The cor respondents of the Journal of Com merce say the scarsity of labor has checked the tendency to an increase in acreage, flor apparently it is not so great as in the other states" Fertil- izers will, however, be freely used Planting was started early, but low temperatures have retarded growth, and the correspondents of the Journal of Comerce are about evenly divided as to seasonal development.
 The reports from Georgia and His sissippi are of ;- similar nature, both reporting dry, cool weather. Through out the cotton belt planting is nearly ,mpleted, and chopping is in general progress. Stands are unsatisfactory as a rule, and replanting is under con sideration in near.y every cotton state The crop has not secured very good start, and the expectation of a great increase in acreage will not be met. The scarcity or labor, low tempera- lures and Groughty conditions are all pulling against ( heavy gain in acre. age The conditions in Alabama fairly represent the conditions in other states, and the conditions here do not when viewed together, point to an un- usual crop.

Governor Cunninoham's Position

Judge Anderson of the first circuit has been appealed to by Governor Cunningham to cal a special term of the court It will be remembered that the last legislature refused to author ize the governor O. the state to call a special tenn, preferring to hand that discretion over to the circuit judges Judge Anderson refused to call a spe- cial term of court in Baldwin county in order to b--. to justice the lynch CTS of Reuben Sims. Governor Cum nfngham now advises him that he has trustworthy information that several of the lynchers can be arrested and brought into court, and the chief ex- ecutive again urges Judge Anderson to call spec4al term of the court. He renews the offes to send Judge Aston to his relief. Tie governor trusts in conclusion that Judge Anderson will yet see his way clear to the calling of special term of the court and leave nothing undone that looks toward the breaking up of lynching in our other wise fair state"
 It is gratifying at any rate to know that Governor Cunningham intends to support the policy of Governor Jelks in relation to lynching. He intends to stamp it out in this state, and The Age-Herald has full confidence that Judge Anderson will listen to the sec ond appeal from the head of the state.
 If he does not, then indeed the case should be kept in mind and an appeal should be carried to the next legisla- ture. It should be asked to authorize the governor of the state to call spe- cial term of the court in an emergency of the Baldwin county nature. Gov ernor Jelks urged the legislature to confer the authority named upon the executive, and the refusal to do so may yet prove a blot upon the fair name of tho state.

1t Was Almost Too Late.

Dr. Anita Newcomb MeGee. who has taken a party of ten Red Cross nurses to Japan, was talking in Philadelphia about the perils of war nursing.
 T wish heartily" said Dr. McGee. that soldiers could shoot no better than my cousin"
 She paused, smiled and resumed
 My cousin went gunning last fall for the first time. He bagged nothing; every shot missed. But he was ashamed to go home empty handed. and therefore he stopped at a grocers and bought a rabbit.
 :" Good luck" he cried to his wife on his return. Look at the rabbit See where the bullet went through him..
 My cousins wife took hold of the rab- bit and at the same time she sniffed, grimaced and turned away her head.
 You were wiser, my dear she said, to shoot this rabbit today. Tomorrow would have been too late. "

HYPNoTIsM A DRINK CURE.

From the New York World.
 Professor Hyslop says that the project for a clinic in this city where disease may be treated by hypnotic suggestion is still fin nebulous state" It is not denied that money for It's establishment has been promised.
 Such a clinic might serve a good pur- pose in cases of chronic alcoholism, this form of disease having shown itself readily amenable to hypnotic treatment. Dr. Lloyd Tuckey's statistics from vari- ous sources show its successful use. His own practice gives the number of cases treated as 93, with 75 cures. Milne Bram- well shows 76 cases with 2S cures d7 men and II women) Both observers record in- stances of "benefit" in addition to those registered as cured" Tokarsky of Mos COW states that he has treated more than 700 patients, including representatives from all classes of the community. and claims to have cured 80 per cent of those who wished to be cured and submitted themselves voluntarily to his treatment. He finds 15 to 20 hypnotic suggestions to be generally sufficient, but keeps the pa tient under observation for a year and does not reckon the case a "cure' until at least twelve months have passed with out relapse. De Jong of The Hague has treated fl drunkards in thirteen years. and reports 19 of them as cured in some instances the cure has been illustrated by ten years abstinence.
 Dr. Tuckey urges that alcoholic sub jects ought to be given the chance of hypnotic treatment and points out the advantages this method possesses over confinement in a retreat. He finds most alcoholics are good hypnotic subjects.

From the New York Commercial.

N~ HALEBONE Is gradually disap-
 NV bearing as an article of com w merce, yet the world seems to get along just about as we'll as it used to when whaling gave employment to sev- eral thousand men and scores of Ameri- can ships, and when the bone was deem ed indispensable for certain uses. In a dozen years. probably, whalebone will be curiosity in manufacturing. In these days only the most expensive corsets sold in the dry goods stores contain whale bone; the manufacturers of whips have found acceptable substitutes for 1t; and superior dress-stays are made from other materials
 Yet the price of the bone is high and few sailing masters are tempted each year to fit out expeditions for the far north, where the "bowhead" still dis ports himself in steadily diminishing num- bers in his native element Whaling on the eastern coast of the United States is now practically unknown, and the busi- ness is dying out on the Pacific side. In the summer of 1897 there were eight or
  gagged in whaling. and that was Me most prosperous year in recent times-or would have been, had not six of the vessels been caught In the ice off Point Barrow on the northern coast of Alaska, and were frozen in for the winter. The famous overland expedition was fitted out to rescue the four or five hundred men em- 4t.- cessful, but several of the whaling ships were hopelessly wrecked. Since that year whaling has been carried on much less actively in the Arctic.
 In 1902 the whalebone brought into Se- attle and San Francisco from the Artic was valued at N15,s94 Last year 1t was only s55, 4S2 in value. A good deal of this bone was procured from natives, who occasionally catch a whale off thore dur ing the winter. In 1901 there were 16,a3 pounds of whalebone imported from for eign countries; in 1902 the amount was only 5S57 pounds; and last year an in- significant seventy-iye pounds Last year imports were valued at an average of about $2 a pound in the, countries of origin. There is no duty on whalebone.
 Despite the conditions that surround this dying industry, Captain James Me Kenna, a veteran Arctic whaler on the Pacific coast. has announced that he will go north this spring with the schooners Hansen and olga" for a cruise of two years after whales McKenna made his first voyage to the Arctic as a master thirty years ago. 'when whaling was whaling" He Is an old man now. and like many of his class. he has made and lost several moderate fortunes in the bus mess The few Arctic whalers who still stick to the business always undertake to eke out a part of the expenses of a cruise by trading with the Esquimaux for wal rus ivory, furs. and curos, which find a ready sale at good prices in the United States Four or five yards of ordinary calico or haf-pound of tea will pur- chase from the natives fox skin, for in- stance, worth many dollars.
 In bygone years the Pacific Steam Whaling company, operating steam and whaling schooners in the far north. was a powerful corporation on the Pacific coast. It was capitalized at several hum dred thousand dollars. Half a dozen years
