Iw order to make the Goebel Force bill law a success, the Democrats should elect three commissioners whose chief characteristic 1s dare- devil nerve. It will take reckless and fearless men to reiuro fraudulent counts of election returns under the operation ef that law. Prorte who don’t thoroughly un- derstand the object of the Goebel Force bill, should remember these things: The law does not deprive the voter of the secret ballot. He can, under iis operation, vote his sentiments just as at woy time before now under the secret ballot system. The Goebel law pertains solely to the counting of the votes. ‘This will hereafter be done by Democrats and Democrats only. The three count- ing commissioners will meet and by themselves will make up the official returns. No restraing hand will be present to hinder any fraudulent act, and no hostile eye to detect the fraudulent returns that may be made to the three state commissioners, It takes but little thought to see how great power is thus placed in the hands of a partisan hoard, and it can readily be seen that the elections now depend entirely on the counters and not on the voters. Tur Goebel Election bill became a law over the Governor’s veto. The party of conspirators now in control of affairs at Frankfort, maddened by the defeat of 1896, and hoping by force, chicanery and fraud to prevent their faction from falling into a mi- nority, haye adopted th.s revolution- sry measure. The vote f the state has been placed in the keeping of a vengeful lot of political mercenaries, who will not falter at any rascality demagfled of them by their masters. Even if such @ !sw would be admin- istered bv saints or angels, it is yet 80 antagonistic to every principle of a free vote and s fair count that it should not prevail. The passage of this law so far as its political opera- tions are concerned should not be a complaint of Republicans. There is no doubt this infamous proceeding will awaken the resentnent of every honest man in the state and that he will vote to overthrow the party which I acted and supports it, and defeat candidates. Free silver Republi- ons will rally to ‘the old party at the ailof‘‘a free ballot pnd a fair count.’’ Democrats tired of certain politicians and cliques will vote for any party to stamp their indignation on machine politics and machine poli- ticians, As it stands patent to all the world today there is but one hope for the people of the state and that isthe Bepublican party led by its best men, —__——- Tovar is an auspicious time to consider the street sprinkling ques- tion, Nature is attending to it now, : -e the Mayor and the Coun- and hen : “A cil can give the question calm oe de- liberate consideration. It isu. "* essary to speak of the disagreeable features of a day when the air is full of biting sand and penetrating dust, The question before the council is not whetber the streets;shall be sprinkied ; there is, of course, no division of opinion on that point. But the ques. tion is, or should be, how to secure the greatest results frum the least ex- penditure of money. If the individ- ual lot owner sprinkles the street fronting on his property,he must pay for the privilege. His neighbor, how- ever, may not go to that expense,and hence the one who does sprinkle is still annoyed with dust.He spends his mone but gets insufficient returns, To avoid this inequality or injustice, the council should have the most fre~ quented streets sprinkled under the management of the street committee or some other council committee. The cost can be assessed upon all lot owners proportionately to their frontage. By this means, the on, who has been accustomed to pay foe the sprinkling privilege will not have to pay as much as before, while his neighbor, who has refused to con- tribute his share to the comfort of the neighborhood and the pleasure nate a = ™ ro, ioe HEAD OF THE CLASS. phate Se Se Society “Geo.

The first year of the term of Pres- ident McKinley has ended. Can any reader recall a presidential ad- ministration in which as large a num- ber of promises made have been ful- filled in a single year? There was a promise of improvement in business, and business has improved. There was a promise that the financial in- tegrity of the country would be maintained and that more currency would be put into circulation and this has been done. There was a promise that a new tariff law would be enacted and the receipts of the Treasury made to meet the expendi- tures and this promise has been car- tied out. There was a further prom- ise that under this new tariff law in- dustries would be revived, and this is apparent in the large number of reports of new manufacturing estab- lishments and increased wages paid by old ones. It was promised that this increased activity would bring an advance in prices of farm pro- ducts and this promise has been com- pletely fultilled by an advance in the price of practically every articie produced on the farm. It was prom- ised that with this increased business there would greater activity among railroads, which employ such vast numbers of people. This prom- ise has been redeemed, The earn- ings of thirty principal railroads, which in the month of February 1897, were twelve and a quarter mil, liens, were, in February, 1898, $13,- 700,000, The money in circulation he has increased more than fifty million dollars and the gold in circulation has increased $37,000,000, Wheat has advanced, corn has ad- vanced, reference to this question by sending commission to the great nations of Europe, asking their co-operation looking to the restoration of silver to its former standard, the preliminary steps for this action having been taken even before the inauguration of President McKjnley. That prop- osition was declined and it now re- mains to determine what future steps can be taken in that line, and what. ever can be done to that end will be In other matters outside of business the diguity and honor of the country have been woaintained. Every American citizen confined in Cuban The promise of prompt action in regard has been kept by the President and his associ- prisons has been released. to Hawaiian annexation tye and barley have ad- vanced, so have oats and butter and wool; in fact everything that the farmer produced. The only article which has fallen has been silver. The President and bis party took the most prompt means possible to re- deem the pledges of the party with thought the curtain should be run down on the horrible drama which was being enacted off the southern border of this country. He paid a magnificent tribute to the Blue Grass state, and told in beautiful language the part she had played in history. His speech was applauded to e echo. He said this might be » peace appropriation, and he would votejfor it, and he would vote for it just as quick if it were a war measure. THE HERO OF HAVANA. An Eloquent Estimate of Gen- eral Fitzhugh Lee by Major D, W. San- ders. At the opera house in Jefferson- ville, Ind., last Friday evening, Maj. D. W. Sanders, by special invitation of the ladies of the G. A. R. Relief corps and Mayor Whitesides, spoke before an enthusiastic and overflow- ing audience for the benefit of the charity fund of the corps, the sub- ject being ‘Grant and His Cam- paings. The great characters of that epoch, from Lincoln to Lee, were vividly, reverentially and elo- quently sketched. Concluding his masterful address, ™ Sanders spoke touching as follows “And I desire to say tonight, as a confederate soldier, that in the his- tory of all wars, where people organ- ized armies, established a provisional government, and attempted to over- throw the constitutional authorities, never before in the history of the world were such terms granted to the unsuccessfal soldier as Grant at Appo- mattox, and Sherman at Greensboro, gave to the covfederates. It was an epoch in civilization, Unlike Have- lock ia the Indian war—the Sepoy re- bellion of 1857—who shot the unsuc- cessful leaders from the mouths of his cannon, we were invited back up- on our paroles, to assume all the du- ties and obligations of citizenship. And a curio tit is, that after thirty-three years of peace, with our country great and prosperous, more magnificent in her commercial activi- ties and industrial developments, and grander in ail that makes a people worthy of the age and civilization in which they live, you will find that the confederate soldiers, through the magnanmity by which their paroles were granted them by these two great military men, have presided upon the supreme bench of the United States ; they are senators aud members of congress of the United Siates; they are ambassadors and ministers to foreign countries, honor- ed and trusted. And you have to- day anexample that nowhere else under the sun could occur, except among people such as these states have produced—that the unly polit- ical, diplomatic point, requiring cour- age, intellect, tact, integrity and exceptional patriotism that you have had in thirty-three years of peace, is now filled by a major-genera] of the confederate army, who fought against She: idan and Grant, and who stands today as the representative of the government of the United Stat with the entire confidence and appr bation of the American people, inthe complicated situation at Havana, “Jt shows that while once we bore the emblem of suspicjon, subsequent events bave developed the character- istics of as true devotion, of as abso- ‘| stitute the costume of a well-dressed most delightfully spent by all pres- ent. Mrs. Irene Cox and little daughter Louise, and Mrs. John Webb left yesterday for Nashville to visit friends, Miss Martha Leech is enjoying her visit to Princeton very much. Miss Leech is one of Paducah's most charming young ladies, and away from, as at home, is very popular. There is some talk now of there being organized a chapter of the Daughters of the Confede here. Many old confederate soldiers have lived and ried here and it is nothing more than what is due their own and their comrads'memery for the daugh- ters of our dear old south to do alli their power to make their aames re- membered uot only in Paducah, but all over the south, Not{many places io our southern states as large as our city are without one or more chap- ters. So do not let us lack in patriot- ism but do all honor to our liying and dead soldiers, and thereby declare ourselves all true southern women, Though the south was defeated, yet it was not for the want of good, ear- nest men who willingly gave their lives for its cause, and theirs are as much the lives of beroes as if they had been victorious,and we should all remember their noble heroes’ deeds. Society seems to be keeping Lent just now, but ® dance next week, given by some of the young men, is in prospect, and those who do aot observe Lent will no doubt enjoy it, for it has been some time since the society feiks have bad a dance.

When the time arrived at Tuesday’s session of the house to debate the $50,000,000 appropriation bill under the five minute rule, Hon Evan Set- tle, the brilliant democratic congress- man from the Seventh Kentucky dis- trict, secured recognition, and made a great speech. He spoke eulogisti- cally of the private character of the president, He said he had told the democrats of Kentucky that he would support McKinley in every good work he might inaugurate, and he was here now to redeem the pledge. His only regret was that the opportunity had not presented itself before, for he ed anywhere tum. “Permit me w .., that while Gen. Lee is an ex-coumwu erate soldier, yet, if this country, with its great conservatism, its abso- late caution, should determine that the pending difficulties with Spain can find solution only in a declaration of war against that power, then, in that event, the administration will be en- thusiastically and heroically sup- ported by the ‘soldier population of the South to maintain our flag, wher- ever it may be carried, and to give life and bright manhood 1n defense of our government, If a resort to arms be called, the old confederate soldier in the South, with their armies all vanished and ther flags forever furled, and the dust of civil war laid forever, will all rally to jthe support of the flag of our common country, and no better or truer man _ will be found to lead under the colors of the United States than Gen, Fitzhugh Lee.” > sav. in joonclusion, ana Pittsburg Coal, Just received a barge of No. 1 Pittsburg coal, which we will deliver to consumers at 10 cents per bushel spot cash while unloading barge.
