COUNTING ON NEW YORK.

| To a Democratic contemporary who had put New Yorks thirty-nine electoral votes in the Democratic column, The Hartford Courant says: Suppose Theo- dore Roosevelt surprises the Democratic cipherer and these thirty mine votes turn up in the Republican column" Well, of course it Is a supposabIe case, but If those votes do turn up on that side. 1t will be the Democrats who will put them there. Our Party can put out a ticket and platform which will make New York as sure for the ticket as anything in the future of politics can be. or 1t can put out one which will make the State equally sure for the Republicans. The results depend more on the Democrats than on the Republicans.
 That the Republicans will put into mo- tion all their resources in order to secure New York's vote is certain. It is not only the home of their candidate, but 1t has come to be looked on by Democrats as the pivotal State, without which they can have little hope of success. While the Republicans may not consider New York's thirty-nine votes as essential to success as the Democrats do. 1t is cer- tain that they will spare no effort or ex pense that may add to the certainty of carrying the State. On the other hand, the most enthusiastic Democratic optimist will find 1t difficult to leave New York out, and yet count up votes enough to elect our ticket.
 New York is normally a Democratic State, and the Party can carry it this year if proper efforts are made and a good man nominated on a good platform Bryan and Kansas City cannot carry it, of course. nor can any man or platform resembling them stand a ghost of q show. That is so plainly proven by the results of two former trials that no ar gument is needed There are men of right kind and with one of them on . sound platform, we may safely count on those thirty-nine electoral votes, and we needn't expect them in any other way. And that is why we say that if Roosevelt gets those votes they will come to him in the shape of voluntary gift from the Democracy.

WILL BRYAN RUNp
Some of His Supporters Believe St. Louis Will Be Chicago-Repeated.

Chicago special to New York World.
 A close friend of Mir. W. J. Bryan's declares that, incredible as it. may seem, his friends are urging him to be a Presi- dential candidate in the St. Louis Con vention and that the movement in that direction in the strictly Bryan faction Is growing stronger. Thus far Mir. Bryan has not consented, but he admits that the situation is not what 1t was little while ago, when he declared that he would not be candidate this year.
 It is known that some of the Bryan leaders have been exchanging views and that many of them are credulous enough to see the experiences of the Chicago convention of 1896 repeated They be- lieve that there will be a radical ma jority at St. Louis and that, with a radical platform. 1t would be absurd to think of any other candidate but Bryan. Their theory is that with radical pro- gram adopted. the conservatives would abandon all opposition and allow the ma jority to select it's own candidate. The warfare among the conservative Demo crats in New York State encourages them in that extraordinary idea.
 It is said that this is the explanation

is made of good timber for such a D osi- tion? Has he given us any idea of his possession Of the sIerner stuff which makes executives? He Is a man who probably has many capabilities-every man has. and it is far from us to deny him them-but where are they? We know nothing of him. We do not know, as Colonel Watterson says, whether he can write or speak, jump, walk or talk, or, in point of fact, do anythinge but sign checks. This is a salient point indeed: we need men who can do things, who have done things.
 The boom of this brilliant Congress- man is one which has gained consider able width. but it has no foundation-it is built of the same ethereal material which compose day-dream castles. Per sistent advertising through the columns or his newspapers, and a few philan- thropic deeds here and there, have cause d some people to take up the name and dangle 1t on the tail of the Presidential Kite What foolishness! It reminds one so much of little children, of heroes and lovers, who cry for the moon.

self the judge of elections In his own behalf
 But suppose. for the sake of argument, that he should fully make up his mind to act as Mir. Conkle predicts, and that New York should also be found in the anti Roosevelt column? Would he also try to throttle 1t? And wouldn't he have a real strenuous time when he has the ball opened? Still, he could hardly pass over his own State and bounce on New Jersey. If conditions were alike in the two.
 But the whole thing is one of the ab- surdities of politics. To even ina zine that the infamous acts of the Republican Party in 1876 can be repeated nearly thir- ty years later Is too straining on the av- craze mind. If the Democratic ticket in November has a majority of the electoral votes as shown by the returns. we have no fear that even Roosevelt will tamper with the result. He has enough military sense to know a loaded cartridge when he sees 1t.

ana ne made no further progress. one reg remained paralyzed, public opinion rueIuily settled down to the convictiop that the highly honored veteran must st best remain cripple for life.
 Suddenly to the surprise and delight or every one. MT. Duffy again appeared on the street in unm.stakably robust heaith and was overwhelmed by congrat- ulations and inquiries: How did if han pen?' What cured you.'' To the aston ished spectators his reappearance was like return from the grave. At this point his story becomes more interesting in the language used by himself in a re- cent interview with a reporter:
 The regular treatment, consisting of medicine and powerful electric shocks, didn't do a bit of good. so far as my paralyzed leg was concerned My left leg remained cold and dead. I had paid the doctor a good sum. and he had evi- dently done his best. He got me out of my comatose state, but he couldn't get me any further. and I had been too ac- tive man to be content to be housed up with one dead leg if there was any possible way to cure it.
 T knew of no better doctor however, and l finally stumbled on help by the merest chance. I got my clue out of Boston paper from the story of war comrade. John Hunter, of Chico, Cal, who had been cured of a desperate attack of locomotor ataxia by Dr. Williams Pink Pills. That item reused my hopes so that sent for a box of the pills at once to the nearest drug store, and in less than a month afterward l. too, became a perfect ly well man as the result of using them.
 Cautiously enough. it was my own doc tor who pronounced me we'll before he knew what had cured me. I met him as was going up the stairs of the Masonic building. You seem to be pretty spry.' he said. in a surprised tone. Let me see you lift your toes Which foot doctor?' The left. of course. he replied. I can raise the left as we'll as the right I said. and then I worked the toes. first of one foot and then of the other until he saw there was no difference and declared me to be all right.
 Not only were my limbs sound, but was in perfect health every way and I have remained so ever since. No more vertigo, no more trouble with my stom- ach none with my Kidneys; in fact, every organ seems to be doing its proper work. I certainly have good reason to be thank full to pr. Williams Pink Pills and to recommend them to others Sold by all druggists throughout the world.

MURDER OF THE .1NNocENrs,

It is difficult to credit some of the statements that we read in the news papers, even when the circumstances leave us no room for doubt. Recently MT. Herbert D. Ward introduced into the Lower House of the Massachusetts Legis- lature "a bill to restrict vivl-section," and. among other things. said:
 The step from vivisection of dogs and cats to the vivtsection of infants is but a short one. and. to the everlasting shame and disgrace of the State of Massachu- setts, there Is a record of human vivi- section at one of our Boston hospitals. vivisection of the helpless infants of the poor who were sent there to be trea fed humanely and to be benefited, not to be the subjects of experiments like cats and dogs. ~
 MT. Ward further asserted in the course of his argument that in the infants hospi- tai In Boston, some experimental work had been performed on about forty in- fants. and eight or ten of them died. No claim is made that these experiments were made on diseased infants. but 1t was done just as experlmentalists dissect live animals. The cruelty of vivisectlon, even when performed on a brute, has often been pointed out and opposed. but in this case the helpless babies are experimented on with the surgeons knife, lin the inter- ests of science" we are told. They are murdered. to tell the plain truth, just as certainly as though they had been de- liberately cast under the wheels of moving train. The Charleston News and Courier, discussing the revelation of Mir. Ward, thinks 1t is fair assumption that they will not awaken half the indig- nation in Massachusetts that will follow swiftly upon the next instance of the violent taking off of a negro rapist or murderer If the excellent people of that State could only bring their virtue to adopt the course recommended to charity and force it to begin at home, they and their neighbors would be the happier and the better for it,
 Whether this is true or not 1t Is diff cult to read with any degree of patience such revelations as these, and to reflect that these revolting practices occurred in what is looked on by many as one of the most cultured cities in the Union. If the Legislature fails to remedy this evil, the people of Massachusetts should refrain from allusions to savage barbarity.

 Were I in politics I would activeiy oppose the nomina ton of w. R. Hearst. First. because he does not possess single quality. moral or intellectual. which entities him to be considered Tn connection with this high ofhce.
 secondly. because he has no foilow- ing that amounts to anything in New York State. which is and must be re- garded by all thinking Democrats as the nrst essential of Democratic success, The mere mention of his name in the presence or any prominent Democratic leader in New York provokes a laugh. for his can didacy there Is considered huge joke.

BEssEMER vs. MONTGOMERY.
Birmingham Booms Her. Neighbor
 For the College.

Birmingham ASe-IIerald.
 Montgomery IS BesseJner's compe5itor for the location of the college that the t'resbyterians of Alabama propose to es- tablish. That denomination desires to s.. cure $l00,0O0 before work is begun on the establishment of the college, and thu town that secures it is expected to give site and $25.0OO. Montgomery has pledges to the extent of $llOOO and 1t proposes to increase the pledges to $:5, UU
 In point of healthfulness. pure water and fine scenery, Bessemer easily oLs- ranks the Capital City. Bessemer, too, IS located in a county that has double, and soon will have quadruple, the popu- iation of Montgomery County. If :ne fund that the Presbyterians of Mont goin- cry are raising can be duplicated in thls county, Bessemer undoubtedly will Se- cure the location Of the college
 The entire county of Jefferson is inici = ested in this matter, and the Presby- terians of this town and of all It's suburbs should lend a helping hand. The subject should be made a county mas- ter. for what Is Bessemers interest Is the interest ot the rest of tho imperial co .in- ty. Let us pull together in this matter, until Bessemer has gathered in the college that the synod of Alabama proposes Io establish.

MONTGOMERY AND BEssEMER

It has been well understood that there was to be strong competition for the Pres bytertan College for men, which the | Synod of Alabama has projected. Fresh evidence of this appears in an editorial in The Birmingham Age-Herald of yester- day. This article is reproduced on this page.
 Birmingham. it seems, wants the Col | lege for its next door neighbor, and It proceeds to boost that enterprising young city at the expense of Montgomery. The Advertiser has no objection to The Age Herald's helping Bessemer: that is na- tural and proper But this paper objects to the making of invidious comparisons of yBessemer with Montgomery
 The Age-Herald declares that Bessemer easily outranks Montgomery in three re- spects-heaIthfulness, pure water and fine scenery. We deny all three aliega- | tions.
 Tn the first place. Bessemer has no great natural sewer. river. running by 1t. On the contrary. 1t has only small creek which Birmingham has utilized as A sewer. much to the disgust and injury of Bessemer whose citizens have carried their grievance on the subject to the Su- preme Court and have been awarded damages.
 Montgomery is blessed with big river, and the Citys natural hilly formation, aided by a scientific system of sewerage, makes Montgomery one of the cleanest cities in all the land.
 In the second place, Montgomery has the purest and most wholesome water supply of all the big cities in the country The City of Albany, N. Y, made. year or so ago, an exhaustive investigation of sources and methods of water supply covering all the large cities, and awarded the palm to Montgomery's iimpid, soft artesian water.
 As to the third point. fine scenery, We do not know that 1t Is such an important essential for the location of College. but whatever 1t may be worth, Montgomery is ready to enter the lists on that line, too. This city is built, like Rome, upon seven hills. and from every high point there is an attractive landscape of hill and dale. of field and forest. of winding river and intervening railways. And there is always a lucid atmosphere, not overladen with the dust and smoke Of great iron mills, through which those lovely views can be readily seen and thoroughly enjoyed. Pure air is of ad- vantage to any College and Montgomery excels in that respect rather more than is really necessary.
 The Age-Herald also makes an argu- mentaout of the matter of the relative populations of Jefferson and Montgomery. That cuts little figure. The College Is for all Alabama and the population to the south of Montgomery is increasing won derfully fast. The lower section Is De- coming the veritable garden spot of all the South, and Montgomery stands at It's gates There Is no better place for College. The mystery is that more than one has not been located here long ago.
 In conclusion, we beg leave to inform OUT contemporary that Montgomery has raised already more than $15,OOO, and pro- poses to run up its pledges to more than $25. 900. If Bessemer, with the aid of all Jefferson County, can beat that, well and good. May the most deserving bidder get the institution.
