We believe, that the proposition is a too comprehensive one to meet with pepular favor, and also that it would be far wiser to make the experiment 1 street huild- however, ing at a less expense. Of all the streets Broadway needs the improvements the most, ‘T’ fore let the council submit a propo sition to the people to rebuild Broad- way from Seventh to the river; for a ere= storm sewer on the same street and for an enlarged and up-to-date mar- ket house. The amount of bonds thus to be issued would be much le: than $100,000; the new style of street constructicn could be thor oughly tested; the demands of the public for a commodious market house would be amply met, and the proposition would be much more likely to be adopted by the people It was the original intention of the preceding council to incorporate the Broadway storm sewer in the plans of the sewerage system, but on account of expense the idea was abandoned. Just one glimpse of the market house aud of Broadway will convince any ove that they sadly need reno- vation. The Sux makes these suggestions with the idea of getung the proposi- tion of the mayor, as finally adopted by the council,into such shape that it cannot possibly fail of acceptance by the people at the polls. NOW Is THE TIME The success that the Commercial and Manufacturers assoc liciting committees are meeting with, shows that the business men of Pa- tions’ s0- ducab recognize the fact that now is a most propitious time for pushing Paducah’s development and for tak- ing aggressive measures for increas- ing ber prosperity. Two at least of our great national business interests are inastate of transition to & certaia extent, oz, io other words, are undergoing 8 change of base. The cotton interests of (he east are looking tothe south, Hard- ly a day passes but what some large New England concern announces its intention either of moving south or of establishiog a branch plantin the south. To such concerns, Paducah offers splendid advantages, and in many respects advantages that are unequaled.

In this line also Paducah offers many most desirable advantag What is true in particular of these two lines of manufacturing interests, is true ina general way of many other lines of manufacturing interests. Low freight rates, the nearness of a large market and cheap fuel are features that appeal strongly to any manufacturing interest. Paducah has many other points of superiority, an acquaintance with which wil: attract attention to her as It is the mak- ing public of these points of saperi- ority and the acquainting of individ- ual investors with them that will be adesirable location, the duty of the new Commercial and Manufacturers association.

FLUATING DOCKS, Invented on a Tideless Shore in the Time of Peter the Great. In very early days ships of any siz were docked by grounding them at high water and then waiting for the tide to recede, work being proceeded with until the tide again rose, ‘his method was improved upon by hol Jowing out a berth or small basin, and then, when the water was down, atem porary dam would be miade across the entrance to the basin where the ship lay, so that work could go on nninter rupted by therisingtide. Here, then we find the germ of the idea of a gray ing dock, the essential factor of which was the existence of the rise and fal) of the tide, and it was due to the ab 4,000,000 bushels the crop of 1894 The crop of wheat in 1893 and 1492 aggregated 4,880,000,000 bushels for the two years, against 4,456,000,000 bushels for the two years previous to the present year, This difference of 424,000,000 bushels in the years 1896 97, compared with 1892-93, may be looked upon as the gauge of the reduced world’s supplies minus the reduced consumption which pre- vailed owing to the high prices last year, The difference in stocks he- tween August i this year and August 1 1894, is figured at 216,000,000 bushels. In regard to the consump- tion it is a little short of 2,400,000,- 000 bushels per annum for the past eight years, although for the year 1894595 it was caleulated at 2,464,- 000,000 bushels, and owing to the steadily ing population the consumption for the present year is ineres ington, Court, Broadway and Jeffer-|000 bushels more than the, world’s sence of tide that we owe the origina! floating dock In the time of Peter the Great, the captain of a British ship, finding that his vessel, in Cronstadt harbor, was ip want of docking, and that, owing te the absence of tide in the Baltic seg the then orthodox method was in practicable, the Camel and completely removed the whole of her decks apd inicrna’ work, cut off one end and fitted if with agate, He then berthed his shi inside the hollow hull of the Camel closed the gate, and pumped the wates from the interior.
