Apenmas Barnes was elected to the council as_& Republican, having the united publican party in the city, naturally supposed he would be found lt was working with the Republicans for the the interests of the party. Instead of this he has shown a disposition to throw obstacles in the way of the advancement of the party in the city from getting a few crumbs that fall from the municipal table, though itis entitled to them by every rule of political proceedur law and by every test the applies, He goes so far as absolutely to nomi- nate and vote fora Democratic news- paper to defeat the organ of his own party. There sre a few thousand Republicans in the city of Paducah and McCracken county who will member Mr. Barnes’ record as a Re- publican when he again goes before them for their support. ‘They ex- pected of him a fealty to his party which he has not shown. They de- mand that being elected as a Repub- lican he show proper oceasions and not cast his lot with the enemies of his party. ree shall his colors on Ir is expected the special session of congress, which it is said will be will break the record in its work with ref- erence to the proposed tariff legislation.

A comparison of the receipts under the Wilson and McKinley laws, in cor: responding periods of time, however, fails to support this theory, The re- ceipte under the Wilson law in its firat twenty-nine months were $738,- 987,775, while those under the Mec- Kinley law in its first twenty-nine months were $885,964,890, Thus it party interests.

It will be noticed that the actual receipts un- der the McKinley inw were newrly 20 per cent. greater (hau ‘hose under the Wilson law jn the corresdonding period if the history of the two acts. This statement is exceedingly in- showing, as it does, the character of Democratic tinavciering.and the solidity and re- liability of that emanating from Re- publican sources an@ based on Re- publican calculations. If this had been all the mischief done by the Wilson law we could stand it with- out much complaint, but to. this in- iquitous legislation is to be traced a large part of the distrust, depression and panic of the past four years. structive, —— MR, GAGE’S POLICY. Lyman J. Gage, who will be se- cretary of the treasury under the Mc- Kinley administration, and as such practically shape the financial policy of the country, has made a statement in « written interview with the New law within sixty days congress | York “World,” which is of especial | convenes. ‘This would far excel any | interest at present, | record ever made in congress with} ‘Our whole monetary system, age, “is the result of| lation and unscientific | It is time that reform opinion the green- | backs should be permanently retired The silver purchased under the Sher- | man set shoul! be gradually sold and treasury notes redeemed and can- Some well guarded sys'em of | ulation, broader and says Mr. ( makeshift leg compromises began, In my housemen for either gold or silver. Such a function is outside its proper limit of action. “But we are faced by a condition. The enormous amount of $500,000, 000 of silver, represented by $338, 000,000 in silver certificates, added |to the $150,000,000 purchased by the government under the Sherman act, constitutes a standing menace to every business interest. To sum up, the defects of our present currency system are: 1, Confusing heterogeneity which needs simplification. “2, The greenback controveria the principle of paper money, ‘That eyery note injected into ‘the commercial system should represent an existing commercial value. The treasury note is a stand- ing evidence of a foolish operation— the creation a debt for the purchase on a falling market of a commodity |tor which thé purchaser has no use; it lies open to the just charge of be- |; ing both idiotic and immoral, “4, The national bank note uncertainty of business will have been merely conforms to the true princi- ple of paper money, but the unrea- sonable requirements for security par- alyze its efficiency and operate to destroy its elasticity, ‘bs. The silver certificate encour- ages the use of silver to larger ex- tent than is consistent with the safe preservation of that metal on a par- ity with gold,’’ ‘Would 9 ugtional help to promote refcrm 7'' «There is reason to hope that it would be of great service in that di- rection, Such ®& commission, if rightly selected, would throw a flood of light upon these involved ques- tions. ‘The imformation it might gather would be of immense value to our people, and would guide us to wise legislation. ‘Emotion and sentiment are not uides in matters of science.

So much objection was raised that the ordinance was referred back for remodeling. An ordinance to repeal a section of the ordinance prescribing nuisanc was read. Its import and intent was to make it legal to dig and use sink wells, to which considerable objec- tion was recently raised. Mayor Barnes wanted the matter referred to the board of health for} a report. Councilman Williamson said that the ordinance had never been before the committee, but originated in the Board of Health, He that it be referred to the ordinance committee, STREET COMMITTEE. Chairman Carter read a petition on Fountain avenue from Broadway aud Jefferson asking that the grade of the sidewalk be given. ‘The petition had been re- ferred to the committee at a previous meeting. Mr. Carter moved that the city engineer give them the grade. Mr. Barnes objected and said the jcommittee had not done its duty in failing to go out and make an exam- ination of the locality.
