A sprout to the ‘*Globe-Demo- crat’’ from Frankfort states that it is fasettled fact that Governor Bradley will call @ special session of the Ken- tucky legislature on or about the fifth of March next, for the election of a United States cenator, and that Dr. Hunter’s chances of election are on oe the wane, his enemies working like % 2 d beavers in the interests of other can- ‘ didates. 7 4 Tur numerous and rapid changes in newspaper circles in Paducah are too much for the Louisville ‘‘Post,’* which has got a little mixed, as the following item from yesterday's edi- tion will show: “The ‘Leigh Bros.’ bright and creditable little afternoon paper, the Paducah ‘News,’ has suspended pub- lication.”” ‘Tue general arbitration treaty ne- gotiated with England by Secretary Olney bas been signed and submitted to the senate for ratification, It is said to cover all contingencies likely to arise ‘‘with the single exception that neither nation surrenders its the party supremacy shall ‘prove t harbinger of better times, as there) except every reason to believe that it will. ‘The depression has already covered a == | will be by the enactment of a wise THE DAILY SUN and beneficient tariff law. | The Wilt give special attention to ALt. local, bap good times ure coming, and with eninge of Interest in Paducah and vicini ‘% them the Republican lease of power readers. pated slightest semblance of jobbery, and feature of the weekly edition ct] Barnes in regard to street improve- Depa: !ments should be carefully considered greater period than is usual with such panics. In the nature sf things there must be improvement, even without important legislation. The confi- dence in the future evinced by the business world will of itself be a po- tent factor in the revival, aided as it is certain to be extended. ‘Tue present council, thus far, has put its foot ob everything having the it is to its credit that no jobs have been pat through since it was in- stalled. ‘The scheme of Councilman before any contract is entered into, and especially for so long a term as five years, Ifthe parties desiring to contract for making street improve- ments havn't enough confidence in the outcome of their experiment to make the investment for machinery, ete., relying on giving satisfaction as a basis for revewal of contract, the city assuredly ought not adopt the plan. If the contractor bave faith in the un- dertaking they will not hesitate to invest their money in machinery and then if the city is satistied, cap renew the voutract. — This will force the parties who are backing this scheme to pay for the experience and not the city, if the ven ure shall prove t: bea failure, But before any contract is entered into, no mat- ter for how short the term, a thor- ough investigation should be made} and every safeguard adopted to pro- tect the city’s interest. Let it go on record that the first Republican council was free from any semblance of jubbery. most she Speakmne of reciprocity, recently,a Democratic free trader stated it was nothing but free trade. There are many people who do not discern the difference, yet the two are no more one than black is white. By free trade we throw down our fences and let in onr neighbor’s cattle to our green pastures, leaving him at liberty to keep his fences up and ex- clude our cattle from grazing in his pastures. He has the full benefit of our pasture, yet he is at liberty to fence us out of his own fields. On the other hand, proceeding we say give us the benefit of your clover field and you may use our blue grass pasture. We keep up our fences till he agrees to reciprocate the advantages we offer him. When he takes down his fence we take down ours, and we are always ready to put up our fence the moment he shows a disposition to rebuild his. There cen be no reciprocity without an edequate protective tariff. We must have something in the way which it is desirable to the foreign country to remove if we hope to induce it to re- move obstructions to our use of its own markets. Reciprocity enables us to gain free access to markets in certain countries by admitting free from those countries certain of their own articles that do not compete with honor or dignity to a court of arbi- tration.’’ Just so. The honor or dignity of the nation is involved in almost every controversy, and this is a most convenient loop hole. There is not much danger of war with Eug- land, but whatever danger there may be will not be obviated by this treaty. our own. Sreaxinc of the future of the Democratic party, Senator Hill, of New York says: ‘The demagogues” by their violent driven every man of property from the Democratic party, and the party | doctrines have | in so brief a time. under a reciprocity | Tue clearings of the St. Louis|i# now on the rocks of Populism,'’| banks for the month of Decemb:r| od that the only hope for the future were the largest in the history of the] of the Democratic party is that “the city hy nearly $3,000 000, reaching| Republicans will have some flerce he | who, of all otha, is best qualified to = peak to the subject. The fact that the letter was not intended for publi- cation, but was merely a private ex- pression of opinion to a friend, lends additional force to the argument. The efforts of Mr. Cleveland and others at this time to secure the re- tirement of the greenbacks lends special interest to Mr. Sherman's ex- pression. The letter is as follows: “Ido not sympathize with the movement proposed to retire United States notes from circulation. I be- lieve it is easy to maintain a limited amount of these in circulation without danger or difficulty. The mainte- nance in circulation of $346,000,000 United States notes, supported by a reserve of $100,000,000 gold, not only saves the interest on $346,000,- 000 of debt, but is a vast convenience io the people at large. The best form of paper money is that which is backed by the government, and main- tained at the specie standard. The absolute security of these notes was never called in question, after the re- sumption of specie payments, 1879, until the reserve was being trenched upon, to meet deficiencies in current revenue, brought about by what is known as the Wilson tariff law of 1894."" This is multum in parvo and must necessarily have much to do in shap- ing the opinions of such as have given little or no thought to the sub- ject, of which there are not a few. In all matters pertaining to reveaue ana finance Joho Sherman towers bigh above all other authorities, and his views as to the causes of the ex- isting troubles are entitled to, and will receive, a respectful attention hinking puvlic THE POPULIS!S CLAIMS. An address has been issued by George F, Washington, member of the Executive Committee of the Pop- ulist party, which lets the cat out of the bag. It is plainly stated that the Populist party endorsed the free sil- ver movement only as a step to the far more radical movement in favor of an unlimited issue of full legal ten- der paper currency. The address is given below and outlines the ccurse which the party proposes to pursue ia future: It is “We are to be congratulated upon the growth of our party, and the fact that in the recent election nearly half of the voters of the Union indorsed much of our platform. No party ever achieved wore brilliant success Although handi- capped in the late campaign, we emerge from the contest stronger than ever. Our party alone has a voting force larger than that which elected Lincoln, and anable, effective reform press of nearly 2,000 newspapers. We elected several governors, as well as hundreds of other state, county and town officials. We hold the bal- ance of power in the United States Senate, and have four times as many Congressmen as ever before. ‘We united with the silver forces in the recent campaign, not because we believe free coimage of silver is the solution of the financial problem, but because it would better existing conditions, would meet with the least resistance and would become the en- tering wedge for our main issue, viz: Full legal tender paper mouey, is- sued and regulated by the govern- ment slone. ‘Having proved our loyalty at the polls, we are free to act separately on advanced lines, and to emphasize the real issues cur party was bora to ad- vocate. We can not, in honor, lay down our arms and cease our activity until the war for which we are enlist- ed has ended in victory for our cause. “Phe Democratic party proposes to continue the silver fight. Two partics can not exist on the same is- sue. The greater absorbs the small- er. Therefore, if we remain mere camp followers of another party, dis- integration will result. Our party success alone forced the Democrats to adope the Chicago platform and nominate a Popocrat for president. Converts made by party regularity can not be trusted with the reforms of the future. We are not Demo- crats, and can not be classed as such. We simply united for a single cam- paign. The Democratic party is but the immense aggregate of $82.-| quarrels among themselves.’?

Then, why should a high ‘school graduate re-enter the inter- |mediate grade? Our grandest achievements are in the future, ‘The proposed retirement of the | greenbacl ke and the discussion of the Pacific railruad question will bring before congress the two strongest measures of our platform ; and what- adupt, the logic of events will so force upon both congress and the peuple the consideration of these measures »8 to overshadow all others, aud win to our ranks thousands of voters from both the Republican and Democratic parties, “suggest that @ national onter- held a8 soon ss practicable, that we may have a full and free expression of opinion regarding our future work.

Mr. Money said: ‘‘The last thing General Fitz- nugh Lee said to me as I left Havana was: ‘Please see Secretary Olney and tell him that today I am more firmly convinced than ever that Spain can- not put down the insurrection, and that evety day it continues means al loss of life and property, without the remotest encouragement of agy final Spanish success. As I long since told him, the insurrection will suc- ceed. My judgment to that effect receives daily confirmation.’’ This indicates plainly that General Lee had given the Secretary and | President the benefit of his observs- | tions and opinions to this effeet when in Washington. Senator Money conveys a volume of information on the subject of a Cuban government when he says: “The country about, however, 1 will say right here, is not safe from insurrectionists. They are so close and powerful that today the insurrec- tionists levy a tax on all fruit, veg- etables, milk, corn and meat that en- ter Havana from the country.
