Such a condition of sffsirs is not one that lovers of true liberty care to behold. Renal editors in this end of the state should be careful how ‘hey compare the editor of the Register to the late Wm. E, Gladstone. Such a reference by the Mayfield Mirror caused the Register’s editor to break out this morning inathree-column ed- it on—well, we haven't read it yet, but we imagine it is about Mr. Wheeler, Mr. Bryan bas at last undergone some of the hardships of war, and his admirers can now idolize him as a great war hero. He has been sick of fever at Washington, where he had gone to beg the president to muster out his regiment. At the last ac- counts his regiment was destined for garrison duty in Cuba, and there Col. Bryan will probably spend the wioter, unless he resigns, A SERIOUS MATTER. We are glad to note that our es- teemed contemporary, the Evening News, has been aroused from its lethargy in regard to the sewerage system. The Scun has warned the council many times that the employ- ment of an incompetent engineer was a great menace to the sewerage sys- tem, and that the interests of the city were so vast that no risk at all should be incurred, The last official act almost of the late council was to attend a test of the working of the sewerage system in one district where the work was completed. The pres- ent vouncil was invited to witness tbe test, but the invitation was ignored. Indeed, the attitude of the present council seemed at the start to be thst of opposition to the sewerage sys- tem. Thus, at the beginning of the present administration, the system was at the mercy of its enemies. Au examination of the system on the part of the mayor has convinced him and a portion of the council that the system is all right, and the mayor has so expressed himself. But the damage was done when the present engineer was elected, who seems de- termined to demonstrate the incapa ity of the city engineer and the con- sulting engineer under the preceding council. The council should call a halt at once. Charges have been made that the city engineer is incompetent, has ade false statements and is other- wise unfit for his position, What- ever the reason for these charges, whather the result of spite or an honest opinion, they should be in- vestigated. But instead, they have been ignored, and this same engineer has the sole charge of regulating the expenditure of nearly $60,000 of the people’s money. The Sun has no favorites in the engineer's business. It is immategial to this paper who the engineer is, But we are firmly of the opinion that the present incumbent is totally unfit for the place. We want to see some- one in charge of the sewerage system who has a reputation to sustain, and who is an expert in the sewerage line, And above all, we wish to see the sewerage system asuccess. It wag ordered and begun by a republican council; we are proud of the fact that the only republican council Pa- ducah has bad, was broad and pro~ For we The citizens If betrayed in this most REMEMBER THE MAINE, A VOICE.|: MONYON’S HEADACHE AND sean!

Specially Preseribes That All Bonds Shall Be Voted on by the People—Two-Thirds of the Voters Must Assent, Mayor Lang and City Attorney Lightfoot, in looking up the law on bond issues, overlooked the most im- portant statute on the subject yester- day, asa result, they today ascer- tained that they were mistaken in their opinion on the question, whic was that the people would not have to vote on the question. The following is an extract from Seo. 15%, of the Kentucky Statutes: * No county, city, town, hing éatsiots or other municipality, shall be authorized or permitted to become indebted, in any manner or fur any purpose, to an amount ex- ceeding, in any year, the income aod revenue provided for such year, with out the assent of two-thirds of the voters thereof, voting at an election to be held for that purpose; and apy indebtedness contracted in violation of this section shall be void.’’ This makes it imperative that the bond issue be voted on by the peo- ple. It is not known how the council stands on the question. The mayor's proposition was referred to the fi- uance committee, with the city at- torney added, and it is said that the committee will approve the recom mendation, with probably one dis- senting vote. The council as a whole has not yet fully decided what it is in favor of, judging from what some of the members s.ate. NEWS SUMMARY, It is saidat Santiago that Gen. Garcia will soon leave for the United States to endeavor to negotiate a loan by which the troops can be paid, Garcia has been brought to the American side, and will endeavor to check the extremist party. Though openly declaring for independence, be is said to be willing to privately favor annexation if rewarded. The Fourth volunteer infantry, Col, Petit, was Thursday ordered yrom Jacksonville to Manzanillo. Transports will be sent from New York. The regiment will report by telegraph to Maj. Gen. Wade,at Ha- vana, who by this order is practically made commander of the department in which Manzanillo is localed. The Cuban mounted » live force for the province of Santiago has been completed. It will be commanded by a Major, aud will have three cap- tains, six lieutenants, ten sergeants and 240 enlisted mem. All men must have served in the Cuban army. The war investigating commission has done little beyond examining a number of letters which had been written to the president. A circular reply was seat out calling on the writers to make specific charges. The taking of testimony will begin next week, It bas been decided to investigate also the camps in the «le- partment of the Pacific, and letters have been sent to the generals to that effect. The yellow fever scare among the troops at Ponce, Porto Rico, has al- most died out, and it is now doubt- ed whether the two supposed cases in the Nineteenth infantry were really yellow fever. There continues to be much malaria and typhoid fever WASHINGTON RUMOKS. (Chicago rd.) ‘The re'ucn of Secretary Alger has revived the rumors of the appoint- meot of Senator MeMi'lan, of Michi- gan, to succeed Joho Hay as ambas- sador to the court of St. James. It is admitted by intimate friends of the secretary that he has a pledge from Gov. Piogree to nominate him for the vacancy in the senate. Mr. Mec- Millan is quite anxious to be an am- bassador, Secretary Alger is equally anxious to be a senator, and nobody stands in the way except President McKipley, who has not made up bis mind what to do. Mr. McBfillan wants to retire from politics and thinks this would be a good way to do it. It would gratify him and his children to round out his career as an ambassador. He is particularly anxious to go to England, hee be was born under the British flag. Sec- retary Alger declares that be will not resign from the war department as leng ss be is under investigation, even ty (ake a seat in the senate, bat the members of the republican con- gressi nal ccmnittee would be very glad te have him do so, ‘They think it woulkl he worth a great many votes.

The common sense and humane feeling of women must be appealed to and reached. The tenderness of a woman is unfailing, and once the American women fully realize the barb ric tortures which wearing of bird plumage on their bats mean to the birds, they will, of their own free will and accord, aud by the use of their own common sense, aod a hu- manity which never fails the normal woman, stamp out the outrages which are commited so that their headgear may receive ornamentation. But to insult a woman's intelligence and freedom of action by passing laws prohibiting heg from wearing bird millinery can not be otherwise thao ineffective. The American wot can not be told by law what she shal wear on her hat, any more than cao the American man be told by law, with any degree of effectiveness, what kind of beverages he shall put into his mouth. Ia effecting reforms it is always well pot to trample upoo the freedom of people, and of all peo- ple the American public is the last upon which to practice such mea- sures. The common sense of the American public can always be trust- ed if the right means are employed to win its attention, But the means must be tempered with moderation. Something must be left for the peo- ple to supply themselves. Piautation Chill Cure is made by Van Vieet-Marsficid Drug Co., hence is reliable. WHAT WILL HE TALK ABOUT? According to the following circular the Hon. Max Hanberry is about to explain the republican situation in the First district as it really is, Mr. d Hanberry will have a bard time get- tiog comfort out of the dilemma, The circular says: PUBLIC As a lover of the principles es- poused by the time-honored old re- publican party, and, too, finding the party somewhat in a dilemma in the First Congressional district, 1 feei it my duty as wellas my privilege to say something along this line.

The dowager empress couldn’t stand that, and the young man was promptly taken in hand.
