New Voters of 1904.

The presidential vote in 1900 was but 37,551 larger than the vote of 1896. It stood in both 1896 and 1900 at about fourteen millions. The increase in population since 1896 has been fully ten millions In the eight years three and half million immigrants have come in If full vote can be boiled this year the number of voters will be about sixteen millions, an increase of two millions over either 1896 or 1900.
 Who will be benefited? Which party will gain from the secretion? The dem- ocrats anticipate large gains. They anticipate gains on account of immi- grafton. on account of previous dis satisfaction over the money blanks of the platform, on account of feeling in the past that votes would in any event be thrown away; on account of hard times.
 A nOpelul WOulu, III Otuci words, bring out every democrat, TO- gether with all the additions that eight years and prevailing discomfort in in dustria circles can contribute to the general result The problem is an in- teresting one, and all that can be said in relation to it is that the presidential vote has been stationary since 1S9G, and eight years have certainly added largely to the electorate. But how the increase will vote depends to some ex- tent on events to take place in June and July. It Is, however. certain that the democrats feel encouraged by the situation. They expect to secure for their presidential ticket the greater part of the incrment, which will be two millions more or less.
 In 1890 there were 21,S29,S19 males of voting age in this country. There are now about twenty-three millions, out of which number it is possible.

Since the Primary.

"'rhe streets are actually lonesome since the primary election" said a citi- zen yesterday. we no longer see the glad handshake on every side and the candidate no longer goes across the street to greet a dsreputable locking acquaint- ance whom he has not spoken to before in ten years. The smoke of battle has cleared away and only the victors are now conspicuous.
 There is something exciting about a hot political campaign that appeals to every true American citizen. There are the whispered causes on the street corn CTS, the solemn assemblies on the parlor floors of the best hotels where wreathed in tobacco smoke and aglow with re- treatments the managers predict a cer- tain victory for the clans. and the wordy war of joint debate.
 "It Is amusing to hear the defeated can didates tell just why they did not win in the recent election. Some of them have awakened with difficulty to the fact that they are defeated, others are still in- cined to fight, and many are feeling sore. As one of the candidates expressed it. although he was beaten he had the satifaction of knowing that nearly all voters were liars"

fnenina of the Baseball Season.

On Thursday next-yes, on Thurs day of this week-real genuine outdoor sport that will be entered in the years dope book will be begun at West End park, and the robust game of the dia mond will attract spectators from the gray-haired man on the retired list to the office boy whose grandmother VIII he very i'll once more on that day Tho office boy may indeed desire to go on that day to bury his grandmother, trusting afterwards to other relatives for leaves of absence.
 Baseball is for healthy men. for ath- letes, but baseball spectators of all ages can open up their lungs. They can criticize the athletes on the spot while they drink in ozone and accumn- late vigor. This is the beauty of base bai-health and honest enjoyment for all. The man who says there is any thing demoralizing in watching con test between two sets of athletes Is straining at gnat, and probably swal- lowing a camel
 The crack of the bat as it seeks the right spot and angle of the ball is the signal that spring is really and truly here. No matter what the almanac may say spring is not here until the swish of the ball is heard on the dia. mond. Just write it down in your book that spring. gentle spring will report for duty in this town next Thursday.
 Every team in the Southern league expects to win the pennant. Even At lanta has filed a claim. This is right. Every team should be hopeful and full Of honest effort Every team should look pennantwards, and this is exactly what they are doing. Magnate Newt. Fisher is coming next Thursday to be- gin the lattening of his score, for he announces that he has decided to re- sume pennant- winning He will be met by the home team, which has no intention of seconding his motion. It will thus be seen that there will be something doing at West End park next Thursday.

ever made an active campaign in the against him this time, but I am for him for anything within reason next time.
 I am inclined to the opinion that many of the reports of Governor Jelks' illness have been exaggerated. The governor has been quite unwell, and it Is necessary for him to take great care of himself for the next month or two. Ills doctors in im- pressing this fact upon him. probably alarmed him. and for the moment many of his friends have considered him in se- rous condition. The best medical opinion. however. Is that the governor will be thoroughly himself again in a month or two. Governor Jelks has made a splen did, conservative, business like governor He has won the confidence of the people and everyone wishes him speedy re. eovery
 , Speaking of politics and men in poiti- cal office, Mayor Drennen has announced that he doesn't want it any more. In other words. he will not be a candidate again for mayor Whether or not he will continue in politics remains to be seen. He has looked upon the sheriff's office in days past with favor, and be has had dis- tant weather eye upon the governorship. don't know but what he will get that which he wants. Under his administra- ton Birmingham has certainly improved. More sidewalks and streets have been built and more general improvement has been made during his administration than during that of any other mayor in the history of Birmingham Of course this has cost money, and many property-hold- CTS have been vigorous kickers, but Dren- nen has certainly done a good work, and believe in commenting every one who aeeomplishes something. He has a year and a half more to serve, and hope he will continue his good work during that time.

THE ARMY OF THE SUMMER.

w D. Nesbit in Chicago Tribune The army of the summertime is march
 ing up the hills The van is creeping silently beside the
 waking rills, For here and there the movements of
 the couriers are seen In spreading waves of grassy spears that
 leap to living green. Away across the meadow lands the dan
 delions bold Each Haunting saucly his shield and
 buckler made of gold Are springing into action while the in-
 sect drummers beat A rally roll that sounds the charge with
 Winter in retreat. For soon the banners of the rose will
 blaze their white and red, And orchard blooms in misty pink the
 army's tents will spread, For now all bravely in the hush of hid-
 den. messy dells, The outposts of the flower host have set
 their sentinels. The army of the summertime is march
 ing up the hills The music of the fairy horns the distant
 forest fills, And soon with crckets fling and with
 flower flags unfurled. The letters made of garlands shall im-
 prison half the world

The Younq Mormons.

''I note with interest that there is a dis position among some of the younger members of the Mormon cnurcn to revolt against the supp eme decrees of the Nor non elders" said a gentleman who for merly resided in Salt Lake City. T be 2 lieve that ten young men have shown rebellious spirit against the church med ding in their private and business af- fairs Such a stand does the young Mor- mons credit,-and l am exceedingly glad to see that they have had the courage to make a protest, although the church will be able to Snake it very uneomfort- able for them in the end.
 "The sway which the great Mormon or ganzaton exerts over every member, TO matter how humble or unimportant' IS really astonishing to those who have not made a close study of the Latter Day Saints In private and public the watch full eye of the church is ever upon them, and woe to him who dares run counter io the mandates of those in high authority. It is an absolute olgarehy in the mids. of this glorious republic, and so Tar as personal freedom goes 1 would rather 1e a subject of any European monarch than a member of the Mormon church.
 "If the rebellious spirit manifested hy the young Mormons should be fostered it might bring about serious trouble and dissention for the followers of the late Brigham Young

PrOuress of the War.

The war in the east is passing through it's third month, and both sides have gathered large armies. The Rus sian army has its focal point at liar. bin. where the Siberian railroad splits, one branch leading to Vladivostok and the other to Newchang and Port At thur. The Japanese readily control the sea. and all things Russian must come and go over the single track Siberian railroa 1. ana be transferred at LaAe Baika.
 News from the Japanese armies is carefully suppressed, but it is plain they are occupying all of Korea, includ- ing the line of the Yalu Wiju is in Japanese hands. The Yalu is wide at Wiju. but the Yellow sea and the mouth of the Ya'u are free to Japanese transports, and if they decide to cross the river at it's mouth gunboats will be there to protect them.
 If the reader will take a map of the theater of war he will see at a glance what is directly ahead of the armies in the Far East Wiju or Antung lies directly east of Newchang. They are about one hundred miles apart. Draw a line from Wiju to Newchang. and you have the northern boundary of the coveted Lioatung Peninsula which is thrust at Port Arthur into the Yellow sea.
 One of two things will occur-either the Russians will withdraw from the peninsula altogether, concentrating at Harbin, or else heavy battles will be fought in the effort to keep the Jap anese from drawing a line atsthe head of the peninsula.
 The abandonment by Russia of the peninsula is the more probable event. It is a sorce of military weakness, and the sinking of the battleship Petropav- lovsll simply accentuates that proba- bility. The Russian navy is now cipher. and the sooner the Russians withdraw from the waterfront the bet ter their chance.
 The Japanese intend, it is plain to take Port Arthur and Newchang, and the fact that the line of the Yalu will not be disputed by the Russians is sig nifcant It can be interpreted in but one way-Port Arthur is to pass into the hands of the Japanese and so will Newchang. Mukden is about fifty miles north of Newchang, on the railroad, away from the sea- and before it great battle may be fought.

COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE WORLD

mind one of those veteran plungers who have managed to weather the gales of Wall street so successfully during tEe past five years John W. Gates. while he does not occupy such prominent place in the public eye just now as he did when he was denied hospitality in certain Eng fish hotels, is still a power in the fn- ancial world 1t be reckoned with. It is now believed that he is allied with the Rockefeller interests and is doing vigor- ous work for them under the surface, as it were. Keene, the elder Rockefeller, Bel mont, Hartman, Hill. Sage, and others have all managed to hold their own, while the daring Sully has fallen upon the rocks. Perhaps 1t was because those oth- CTS were wise enough not to be upset by cotton speculation. At any rate they are still in the fray. Just short time ago s. F. B. Morse, formerly assistant traf- fie manager of the Southern Pacific sys- tenn, resigned his lucrative position to enter the Sully firm on Wall street MT. Morse was extremely popular in railroad circles and his friends hope that his for tunes were not seriously damaged by the Sully failure.
 The prize hen story of the spring sea- son comes from New York. In Orange county there is a Dame Parlet who has done her duty faithfully during the past winter when eggs were more sought after than radium but when the flowers be- gan to bloom, fguratively speaking, the mother instinct rose and she determined to set. The persevering hen was driven off every nest she could find but she remained undaunted and one day flew up to the topmost branch of tree, where she laid egg and is now serenly en- gagged in matching that egg, secure from the interruption of the housewife's broom. Just now trhe public is speculating how the chick will get to terra firma af.er 1t makes it's appearance At such an early age it would scarcely be able to navigate the air as successfully as did Professor Langley of humorous memory.
 Another expert has come forward with a method which will make counterfeiting more difficult, but strange to say he is himself a prisoner charged with that very crime. This man is now standing trial in Boston and he has written a let ter to Secretary Shaw of the treasury de- pertinent, which stated that the writer had mechanical process which would make it practically impossible to conn- terfeit the United States paper cur rency. Unfortunately the gentleman de- clines to explain and the chances are that few more counterfeit bills will be cir culated in this country. However. it is not advisable to turn down a good bill just because there is one chance, in a hundred that it may be counterfeit.

Larae Election Waqer.

Two thousand dollars changed hands yesterday morning in Birmingham as q result of one wager made several months ago on the race for probate judge." said we'll known official. The bet on the election was made between clerk in the criminal court who picked Judge Samuel E. Greene for the winner and an attache of the probate judges office who thought Judge J. P. Stiles would be re-nom- mated for the office.
 'frhe money was posted with a local bank president. Some little controversy arose relative to. the payment of the wager after the official result had been declared but this was straightened out to the satisfaction of all parties con cerned and the money was paid over to the winner" 4

season is it's spontaneousness. One day there are no straw hats, and on the next day every passer-by wears one. The contagion is in the air-the sum- mer air, and every man or boy catches it. The only thing 1t can be compared to is a run on bank, and the latter lacks the universality of the straw hat outbreak
 It is difficult to name the opening day of the straw hat season in this town. But perhaps May 1 is the ap- proved date. unless a cold rainstorm appears The present year is rather backward and no doubt the first hot days will precipitate a run or the stocks of shining straw. The hat stores will be overrun, and derbys and fedo- ras will be discarded without regret. This latitude has little use for warm headgear after summer comes to stay.
 The Americans are a straw-hat peG- pie. No other country discards it's hats so summarily and generally, be- cause no other country has such a sud den attenuation of temperature, and so much ready cash Cash and tempera- ture do it. and any fine sunny day in the immediate future may fill our streets with wearers of straw hats. There is much comfort in them.

IN HOTEL LoBBIEs
Theatre Annoyance.

iuOdbfC
 'I can think of nothing more annoy ing, both to performer and auditor, than to hear some person in a theatre endeav- bring to follow song or instrumental selection by whistling and singing said q frequenter of play houses. At the per formanee of Nancy Brown a few nights ago l was strongly reminded of this fact by hearing people in all parts of the house trying to whistle the song Miss Cahill Was singing. while others kept time by an audible tapping of their feet. While those who whistled and those who kept time, were considerate enough not to be too conspicuous they were noisy enough to be heard in all parts of the house. At one time I wondered why the singer did not stop and demand better treatment
 However. about the worst nuisance that it is possible to endure is 10 have some ill-mannered person sit next to you and effectually destroy all your pleasure in piece of music by his insane actions He beats on the seat with his pencil or programme, alternating now ard then with a loud tapping of one foot and when the piece is finished looks about with complacent air, as if the sole re- sponsibllity for the selection rested on his shoulders. He not only fails 10 keep time, but there is no real appreciation for good music in such a person.

In all of his calculations the cost per ton of ore is put at 95 cents, and the average value of the ore in the fur mace is then ascertained, as is the av- craze value of coke in the stack, The average ore in this district contains 3914 per cent of available metallic iron To make a ton of pig iron in this district requires the use in the stack of 9,500 pounds of raw material, and this becomes the basis of a calcu- lation of the operating cost per ton.
 No doubt MT Gaines estimate of sS20 as the cost of produc- ing "a ton of pig iron in this district is approximately correct. It costs just as much to make a ton of grey forge as to make the best grade of foundry iron It will thus be seen that $10 for the best foundry iron is cutting pretty close to the average cost of production. Some furnaces can make money at present prices, and some cannot.
