Why should not other roads comply with their con- tract and build good and substantial repair shops? Either build them or put up the $15,000 named in the bond. The council ought to have the shops in good faith, or sue on the bond for the agreed damage, —— Ir seems that the men who have been fighting the Republitan party during its entire existence upon the ground that its tariff policy was not & proper one are now conceding that it is, and has right. Four frenzied appeals tu the people as against the Republican par- ty have been issued during the pres- ent month, that of ex-Candidate Bryan, followed by those of the three ig to been from the first, | party leaders who are striv unite the elements of national discord in his support, yet not one of them mentions as an argument against the Republicans this grevt subject which has been its leading principle, and which today shares in its estimation an equal honor with sound money. Since these men now admit by their silence that the Repuolican party ever since its existence has been right in its fight for this great princi- ple of protection, and that they have been wrong in their fight against it, money question are entitled to consideration as against those of the men who thus admit the unsoundness of their views important subject in some on an equally the past? SPAINS POSITION, Possibly two nations have not be+ come engaged in a war or even a se- in modern times more rious controversy that differed from each other widely or understood each other less than do Spain and the United States. The ignorance of the Span- iards as to the part that this country has played in the Cuban insuriection is equally as dense. Jt is this ignor- ance of the Spaniards that furnishes a probable cause of war, even if the crisis caused by the wrecking of the Main should without an open rupture. The Spaniards are as eager for war pass as are many Americans—even more so, for in this country the war spirit is aoe whole blame on the United 8 and today the people of Spain fly and sincerely belicve that, were ipot for the secret aid from Americdns. Cuba would be subdued and fhe rebellion a thing of the past. Fipm the days of the Armada until ngw with rare intervals, the history | of Spain has been the story of national y, and yet today the Spaniard is as proud and as arrogant as when vieing with England for suprentacy in the new world, In fact, one of the chief characteristics of the latter-day Spaniard is his grossly exaggerated pride. Just in proportion as this pride has been wounded, does the hatred of the Spaniard in¢réase against the United States, posed cause of all the Cuba, ‘ Also every soldier who 1 from Cuba tells the same story, of secret American aid to the ineur- gents. Every returned soldier is a physical wreck, # victim to the Qu- ban climate and the hardships of the Spanish camp. Thus itis that every returned soldier, imbittered by broken health or the death of his comrades, becomes a bitter enemy of the United States. This hostile attitude of the Span- ish people will probably compel the government to declare war with Spain, should an actual clash not oc- cur as a result of the disaster to the Maine. Also inthe event of a big indemnity being demanded by the United States, it is hardly possible that the people would consent to its payment by Spain, This state of affairs the Spanish government perfectly comprehends and is pushing preparations for war as fast a8 possible. Millions of dollars in subscriptions from the people are flowing into the Spanish treasury, to be used as funds for war. In spite of the tremendous drain upon them during the past three years, the Spanish people still have money left, and it will be given without stint provided its donors be- lieve that by iis use a blow can be struck at the Nation which Spain hates. Within the past week one Spanish business man has sent his check for $100,000 to the treasury, and that is but one instance among thousands. The recent action of the Bank of Madrid, in announcing that the in- terest coupons on the national debt which are due in April may not be paid is ominous. It does not mean that Spain will default for lack of funds, but rather that she is to keep her money for war purposes, if hos- tilities begin. Spain bas abundant | fands to her April interest charges, but she knows that in case of war it would be folly for her to try to place a she has de- cided to keep what she has. PARTY HARMONY, In snother column is found an ac- count of the Republican gathering in Louisville, Saturday, with the reso- This gathering meet loan, so lutions there adopted. with the tone of the resolutions adopted is significant. The results of the meeting will be far- reaching, either for the good or the evil of the party, according to the spirit and manner in which the pro- posed organization is to be formed and controlled. The chief signifi- cance of the meeting arises from the fact that there isa large number of Republicans in the state who recog- nize, or at least protess to recognize that party {harmony is lacking and who are willing to endeavor to restore harmony. The Sun, however, desires to sug- gest that where one faction of | po- litical party starts out to secure har- mony, and eliminates at the start representatives of other factions, that it has a most delicate task to per- form and one that is wanting of the tempered by conservatism, and by + realization that the rules of interna. tional law must be complied with, and that peace is preferable to war. Not even those of our people who firmly believe that the destruction of the Maine was the deliberate result of Spanish treachery are more eager for war than are the Spaniards, This hostile feeling is not shared in by all of the leaders or members of the rul- ing classes, though it is said that only two members of the Spanish cabinet are yet undivided, the other members being convinced that war is inevita- ble and eager that it shall begin. ‘The present rebellion in Cuba has been in progress three years. Spain's attempt to conquer the insurgents has resulted in ignominious failure. In her endeavors to subdue the island, of her young men. The burdens thus put upon the Spanish people have been enormous; and in Spain the tux payers are not the rich aud influential, but the peasants and the working people ; neither do the wealthy furnish the unfortunate sol- diers, who are conscripted to go to only on the poor. ‘The three years of war have been vears of defeats and deep humiliation for the Spanish government, Rather that admit the incompetency of their commanders in Cuba, or the hope- lessness of crushing the rebellion, the Spanish cabinet has laid the’ vest eff rts of the shrewdest brains, Also it should be remembered that self assumed leadership will fail of its purpose unless giving voice to # distinct demand of the people. It would be useless to deny that the chief need of the Republican party in Kentucky is harmony, Any move- ment looking to the attainment of that is to be commended and has the hearty support of the Sus ; any move- ment, however, that looks to the cap- ture of the party organization by one faction and to the exclusion of the other will be more detrimental than otherwise. Asa matter of fact we do not believe that there is a Repub. lican in the state of Kentucky who will not support the next state ticket, But in order to make sure of victory and to run no risks, it is impera- tively necessary to nominate a ticket that will representall alleged factions and that will command not only the support, but arouse the enthusiasm of a united, harmonious party. Campaign material will not be wanting next year. The remarkable legislation attempted by the Demo. cracy at the present Legislature, with the able veto message of Governor Bradley that will be sure to greet some of the proposed laws, will fur- nish campaign material such as no state purty organization in Kentucky ever had before. The aduministra- tion of President McKinley will vast- ly strengthen the party, not only in Kentucky, but throughout the whole country. ‘fhe hands of both should alba let be upheld, for only by so doing can the party progress and gain strength. When, however, the time comes for selecting new leaders, the choice of ¥ mujority of the people should rule. BRYAN’S PLATFORM, The nine planks for the next Dem- ocratic platform which Mr. Bryan has recently presented to the anxious public are— Is Opposition to metallism. gold mono- 2nd. Free coinage at 16 to 1. 3d. Retention of the greenbacks. 4th. Opposition to national banks, 5th. Opposition to bond issues. 6th. Income tax. 7th. Abolition of trusts. 8th. Opposition to government by injunction. 9th. Arbitration of disputes be- tween labor and capital. An analysis of these propositions mean— 1st. Silver monometallism in the interest of the silver trust. 2d. The retention of the ‘‘endless chain’? by which the Treasury De- partment may be quickly emptied of its gold and the payment of bonds in silver forced. 8d. The destruction of the national banking system and sub- stitution of government paper which could only be redeemed in silyer by reason of the disappearance of gold which would follow free coinage at 16 to 1, 4th. The readoption of the prop- osition already declared unconstitu- tional by the supreme coutt—the in- come tax. Sth. An attack upon that most sacred right of American citizens un- der the constitution, the right of in- janction. On the tariff, he is, like his free silver associates who have revently appealed to the public in favor of fusion, absolutely silent. A WET SABBATH ners. A Big Colored Baptizing at the Foot of Jefferson Street, A large crowd witnessed a curious sight about 1 o'clock yesterday af- ternoon at the foot of Jefferson street. From twenty to forty candi- dates had the ordinance of baptism administered to them in the c! | waters of the Ohio by Revs. J. W. Hawkins and I. C. Cross, colored. he crowd was on the scene much earlier than the converts, and Peg left before the arrival of the flock. The repentant sinners did not seem to mind the water, as they were sub- merged in it, although one or two almost fainted from fright, frenzy or frigidity, 1. is not known which. Hymns were sung, prayers said, and the baptizing bega It lasted quite a while, and was a spectacle not of- ten witnessed at this time of the year. As each candidate was immersed he or she was hustled off in a wagon, carriage, or on foot, to get into dry clothes. LA BELLE PARK THEATER. Contract Finally Let Saturday Evening. Mr. C, T. Taylor, of Memphis, Will Be Manager. ‘The contract for the management of La Belle park theater was finally closed Saturday afternoon with Mr. Charles T. Taylor, of the Audito- rium, Memphis. The Sun stated several weeks ago that Mr. Taylor would probably be manager. ‘There was some rivalry between him and Mr. H. J, Foppe, manager of the Casino last year, however, but Sat- urday the matter was finally settled by closing @ contract with Mr. ‘Tay- lor. He will have at La Belle park dur- ing the coming ‘season a first-class stock and vaudeville company, and will probably have Paducah en a circuit. The work of remodeling the thea- ter will begin as soon as the weather becomes warmer. The theater will probably not open before May Ist, somewhat later than usual, Henry Houston For Congress. Hon. Henry Houston, a free silver republican, 18 being conspicuously mentioned as a probable independent candidate for congress in this dis- trict, and in the muchly muddled political conditions existing bis can- lacy might prove really formid- able. The republicans are hopelessly in the minority, and, Houston, being thoroughly io line with them on everything except the money issue, he would no doubt receive the solid republican vote, they preferring a free silver republican to a free silver democrat or a free trade gold demo- ocrat. Besides, Houston is a man of ability, a quick, shrewd, sharp de- bater, a genial mixer and an experi- enced campaigner. The further idea seems to be that the populists will also have an independent candidate of their own, And then again it is thought not unlikely that the gold democrats will have a candidate. Altogether it promises to be a muchly mixed field. —Hickman Courier. xt Tobacco Spit and Broke Your Late away. ‘Lo quit tobacco easily and forever, be mag ety, ll of life, nerve and vigor, take No-To '$a,, the wonder-worker, that makes weak strong.
