In a talk recently with a business man who has lately located in this city, and who is conversant with the business methods of other cities, the statement was made by him that the best way for Paducah to secure new factories and concerns of a manufac- turing nature, would be through the agency of 8 lively and well arranged commercial clab; 9 club amply sup- ported by the business men of the city so that it could afford to employ as secretary a man of well demon- strated business attainments.

In fact it is doubtful if any city in the whole South isso well situated as to freight rates, raw ma- terial and a desirable market. I Paducab’s situation as to these three points of superiority be carefully ex- amined, the above conclusion is in- evitable. Because the people of this city know and reuhze these advan- tages, it does not follow that they are known to the investing world at large. The only way that Paducah can properly be put before investors and capitalists seeking locations is by generous and judicious advertising. This can best be done through the medium of a commercial clab. THE RAILROAD BILL. The McChord Railroad bill probably by this time in the hands of the Governor. It is the first bill to pass both branches of the legisla- ture and to reach the Chief Execu- tive, and it fitly exemplifies the ani- mus of the present legislature to- wards corporations and all forms of aggregated capital. This bill places in the hands of a commission of three men the regulation and fixing of all railroad freight rates in the state. The powcr of this Commission is ab- solute, there being no appeal from its decisions, For four years the Commission is in authority with ab- solutely no check to its power, It would seem that the placing of such arbitrary and unwented power in any body of men, large or small, would be in direct opposition to all principles of a democratic govern- ment. The majority, however, of present legislature, while nominally Democratic is in fact in the control of 4 clique of ambitious political schem- did everything in his power#tor his man that was consistent, andpcontin- ued to fight until the last, jis a- tion deserves no unjust criticigg ; cit- cumstances were against him ; 9 sim- ply realized this and displayed” good sense in his action in not fallimg out with everyone because he ro hot have his way. He bas been ated well by the administration and appre- ciates that fact. Distributing the patronage of an entire state is no small task, ‘There are numerous circumstances that arise to cause wor- ty. Senators, congressmen, as well as every one else, have their troubles, You frequently hear the question propounded, Who is going to be the republican nominee for governor of Kentucky? —as the democrats are 00 grooming their men the republicans should commence to bring out theirs. We have lots of good material. The party must try and get together and settle their little differences in a bus- iness-like way. Name a good man, break up factions, get a man every republican in the state will take an interest in and feel proud to vote for, and who will be an honor to the state and the party when elected. The aim of all true republicans should be to get together and fight for those prin- ciples we all love so well. I desire to thank the republicans of McCracken county for their loyal and true support. We have reason to be grateful for the triumph of party organization, and should feel proud and thankful therefor. F, M. Fisner, Society at Cossip Yesterday afternoon Miss Mary K. Sowell gave a delightful prog sive Euchre to the young ladies cingue club. Mrs. Fred Rudy wou the club prize and Miss Floss Owen the visitors. The booby was cap- tured by Miss Eveline Long.

Progres- sive euchre was played, at which Miss Mary K. Sowell was successful in winning the prize. Gen. Lew Wallace has a new novel in hand. {tis an American story, and, though he does not say so, I have an idea he hopes to make it the great American novel. He revises and rewrites some of his novels many times, and says that he likes to keep ers whose only aim is to get office,|, and who imagines that the way to dv so is to ‘‘hit’’ corporations whenever they can do so, To such an extent are they carrying their opposition to corporations that they have even de- nied the right of a corporation to the right of ownership of property, as is shown by the proposed bill aimed at the Associated Press, The McChord railroad bill may be- come @ law, and if so it will be but » plague to the party that has passed it and a curse to the business inter- ests of Kentucky. WASHINGTON NOLES. Washington, D. C., Feb, 13, 1898. Sun: Since writing you the post- office question has been settled. Some days before that, however, & certain anxious newspaper man telegraphed here for @ forecast of the situation and as the correspondent desired to earn the dollar enclosed the aforesad newspaper man got the forecast ac- cording to his liking, which report proved to have been very erroneous, Again the same man desired to know ‘show it happened’ and wired for five hundred words explaining that point. I suppose he got his informa- tion which was equally as reliable as the first. But he spent his money and ought to be heppy. It happened, however, by reason of knowing how todo just such things; after you learn, its casy, but learning is where the rub comes in; some people never learn anything. ~~ I hear Senator Deboe has been crit- icised for-hia actions. He certainly [does not deserve any censure, for he s literary efforts in cold storage for at least six months before completing the draft which is submitted to the publishers, able to judge of his mannscripts coolly, and to revise them more im- partially than when the work is all done at once. Gen, Wallace made a great fortune out of ‘‘Ben Hur,’’ bat he did even better from ‘‘A Prince of India.” He is very indignant at the pirates who have made a stereop- ticon lecture on the basis of ‘Ben Hur,’’ and who have been exhibiting pictures of the scenes therein described all over the country, BUTTONS. Velvet buttons as big as a fifty cent piece and sparkling with small rhinestones, come first by right of style, size and splendor. Another big button of note is made of silver filigree; then we have the true and the imitation carved ivory buttons, and fivally, in small bullet: shape, mostly showy tortoise shell calo- chons. ‘These it is needless to say wiJl show resplendent on silk coats and sateen fronts of handsome spring reception toilets.

The sheath skirt is the model in favor now and its characteristics area close fit over the hips, narrow front and side seams, and a clever little flare out of the back breadths. ‘The un- derskirts must follow the geveral lines, and therefore is no longer a simple garment to make. The tatest models are simple in effect, but of the finest materials. ‘The tight dress skirt forbids mach garniture in any way of fluffy rofles. 150,000 STRIKERS Will Be the Namber If Present Plans Carry. New Bedford, Mass., Fev. 16.— ‘The proposition has been under con- sideration by the local tabor leaders for several days to call out on strike the employes of all the yarn mills in y, whieh would bring into idleness 60,000 additional operatives or a total of 150,000. ‘This proposi- tion is independent of that for a general strike all through New Fng- land, and the effect of the movement, it is claimed, would be such a serious menace to local banks that it would result in overtures for a settiement of all the present difficulties by the manufacturers, whose interests are allied with those of the cities finan- institutions. It is argued that if the operatives lose the present strike through the weavers’ inability to hold out, the spinners in the yarn mills, who have not thus far been cut, would receive notice of a reduction in pay and the proposition under con- sideration is intended to prevent that, SAM LEE Is Killed In Galveston.-Probably Once Lived Here. News of the murder of a Chinese laundryman named Sam Lee comes in adispatch from Galveston, Tex. Lee was found dead in his place of business at 9:30 this morning, with a dozen frightful wounds in bis head. Evidences of a titanic struggle in the dingy little back room show that Sam did not yield up his lite without « supreme effort to save it, In nooks and crannies, drawers and boxes, money which the dead Chinaman had cumulated was hoarded. The po- lice, after a short search, unearthed $126.50 of Sam's treasure, and dis- posed of the first theory, that rob- bery was the motive of the crime. Ah'Sing, a young Chinaman wh lived with Sam Lee, was taken iato custody, and after a searching inves- tigation was released. It is believed that the victim is the same Sam Lee who kept a laundry in Paducah several years ago, and went South. Witt $100 ron Assy Case Of Weakness in Men They Treat and Fail to Cure.
