Our interrogatory touching Judg
Harker's instruction was propounded, no
to provoke q discussion with parties who
like Necessity, and ourselves as well, know
: no law. Neither was it propoundcd will
the expectation Of eliciting an indirec
opinion from the attorneys at whose in
stance it was given. Our object was to in
vite an impartial consideration Of the very
important question involved, at the hands
of informed parties, who had no connection
with the case.
President Fisher ofthe Reform Club ha:
arranged for the appearance on the club
room rostrum, this evening, of Mr.. Arm
strong, of Metropolis. Mr. Armstrong;
father, the Rev. Isaac Armstrong, was well
known to many Of our citizens, as a pulpit
and stump orator of far more than average
ability, and it is said of the son, who is a
member of the legal fraternity, that he is
"a chip of the old block" At all events
the members of the club are promised an
entertaining and profitable address, and
ought to be on hand to hear it.
Since much of the opposition to the
new road project is based upon the claim
that the construction of the road embank-
ment may, ultimately, work out the reclaim
alton OF the Cache bottoms-may convert
ponds and morasses into corntelds and gar
dens, can't the taxes paid by these objectors
be held sacred to the erection OF trusse
work, instead of dirt embankment! In
that event the water would rush through
and maintain our swamps, ponds and
morasses in all their hideous proportions!
To compel a man to pay his money and
then deny him his choice is 10 infict {,
hardship.
The advance agent Of the Louise Pom.
eroy troupe was unable to say whether he
would accompany Miss Pomeroy on hr
European tour or not "The relations If
those who constitute such companie, ap
liable to disturbance, and cannot say, fer
that reason, whether | shall accompany tie
lady, or stay at home" So spake tie
agent to the writer hereof The cause Of
these doubts in the young mans mind, is
given, We take it, in Tuesday issue Of tie
Padmah News. When Miss Pomeroy ar
rived at Paducah she found the city posted
for Cymbele--aplay that couldn't be pu-
sented without special scenery and one, too,
for which the Paducah stage was untitled
The lady was angercd, worried. hurt. II
was impossible TO fill the bill. In her dire
extremity she substituted Macbeth. The
house was well filled, but everybody had
come to see Mrs. pomeroy as Imogcne and
not as Lady Macbeth They were, there
fore, disappointed, exasperated, and
wouldn't be comforted Angercd parties
Kissed, others left the house, and the dcvi
was to pay Explanations were Of no avail
at the time, and the reputation Of Mrs. P
always high in Paducah, was injured, II
was an unreasoning resentment; but it was
none the less cutting to Mrs. Pomeroy on
that accountant consequently (as We con.
! lecture the agent doesn't know whether
he'll accompany Mrs. p. on her European
tour or stay at home.
The members of W. c. r. L. remon
strGte most earnestly against the repeal o.
the Sunday liquor law. To stand still il
the reform movement is 4 trial 70 many o.
them; but q retrogade movement, now
would prove most damaging. Realizing
that tact the leaders among the ladies cynct
a disposition to employ all the means with
: in their reach to defeat the proposed repeal
/ "Reminiscences have been prepared for al
the wards, and in three or tour of them

weeks remain in which to work
and during that time the city can be pycu
thoroughly csnyasscd. The vote upo

~ This seems TO be the general impression
If the counting Of noses shall verify Il,
correctness Of the impression, the rcmou
V strances may serve the Mayor a good pun
pose in determining his own course in tn
- matter, but not otherwise. If he vote
