THE AMERICAN AND WATER
WORKS.

In its issue of Feb. |, 1880, the
Hopkinsville american came Out
strongly against water-works and de
clared that it would oppose their con
struction and that the only condition
upon which it would favor them
would be: "On condition that they
will furnish the city water free ol
charge, and to consumers at reason
able rate, and place hydrant wher-
ever one is wanted, the American will
favor allowing them the use of the
streets"
Now all this has changed. In the
American of May II the Mcintyre
scheme is championed, which con-
tanned a perpetual franchise at cost
of $50 per hydrant to the city.
The American in its new born zeal
goes farther, accuses the editor of the
KENTUoKIAN of inconsistency, ridicules
DR.. Wheeler and insults Judge Pc
tree, because they, with many other
citizens of both political parties, op-
posed the water-works at this time
when railroad is the first and greatest
need. Judge Petree was referred te
as an"old fogy lawyer of small calibre'
who assumed ignorance of his sub
ject and then misrepresented it."
The KENrucKIAN has carefully re
Trained from entering into any sor
of controversy with the American
and will not now dispute with it, but
this gratuitous assault upon good
citizens demands attention. At least
the public should know that it comes
from an editor whose agility in
changing his views on business prop
ositions is only equaled by his politi-
cal somersaults. The Council acted
wisely in rejecting the Mcintyre
proposition and the American stands
alone in entertaining contrary opin-
ion.

The Appellate Clerks Race.

Up to Sunday SO counties had been
heard from in the Clerkship race,
having 6O3 of the 917.votes. OF these
votes Madden gets 163 first choice
and % second choice; Longmore 116
fret, 20 second; Martin s5i first, 36
second; Adams 50 first, 20 seconds
Poore " first, IS second; VanZandt
first, none second; Brinkley 8 first,
none second. Contrary to public
expectation Poore is badly behind.
In the First district Caldwell, Lyon
and Livingston all go against him
and Crittenden sends uninstructed
delegates. In the Second he carries
but one county Christian, In the
Third he has carried none so far as
heard from. Bracken, Christian and
Trigg are the only counties outside
the Purchase so far reported for him

The very able speech of Hon. w.
T. Ellis on the Mckinley bill, deliv-
cred in Congress on the Sth inst, is
published to-day. 1t is speech that
every farmer and every workingman,
white or colored, should read and
ponder. The tariff is the one great
question before the country to-day
and no man should fail to inform him
self upon the subject.

The commission of Postmaster Nc
Kenzie expires on July IS. Maj
John w. Breathitt expects to be ap-
pointed postmaster and his appoint
ment will in the regular course of Of
fetal business be made about thirty
days from this time. This is of course
provided he gets the place, and his
friends express no doubt that the ge-
nial major, who is tie leader of his
party in this county, has been slated
for the position for some months. So
far SO good, but here comes in mat
ter that is worrying the Republicans
to some extent Maj. Breathitt is
County Court Clerk and as the two
offices are incompatible he would have
to resign the clerkship to accept the
other office. This would create va
cancy to be filled by appointment till
Sept. l. A Democrat would get this
appointment and as the supplemental
registration occurs in the Clerks Office
on July 28, the Republican candidates
are showing considerable alarm. They
seem to attach great Importance to
this matter, as if unfair advantages
could or would be attempted by either
party. This is not in accordance with
the spirit Of the law and SO far as
Democrats are concerned no advan-
tage is sought and no unfairness will
be attempted. The clerks ALLOW the
county, in a spirit of fairnesf, were
conceded to the Republicans, although
the law provided that all officers
should be jointly appointed by a
board which at present is composed
Of two Democrats and one Republi-
can. No Democrat has any objection
to having Maj. Breathitt conduct the
supplemental registration, which he
can do by delaying the making OF bis
bond for ten days. He has the con-
fdence of the people and the Repub-
licans are doing him an injustice by
the implication contained in their
frantic desire to have him hold over,
and it may be added that the implied
reflection upon any Democratic sue
cessor who might be appointed is also
unkind and altogether uncalled for.

TOO EIG A MOUTHFUL.

The Atclison Globe quotes g. W.
Click, of that place. as deploring ST.
Louis' loss of the Worlds fair. He thinks
the fair at St. Louis would have led "a
quarter of million tourists to visit Kan
sas. With the big show at Chicego they
will not come to Kansas, but will visit
Minnesota and the northern country in
stead. Couple this very plausible rea-
soning with Mr.. Depew's prediction in
regard to the predominating influence
the locating of sthe fair at Chicago will
have upon the business of that place in
every line, to the exclusion and au the
expense of every other aspiring city of
the west and northwest. and the alacrity
with which the representatives from the
states having such trade centers gave
their support to the aspirations of the
great northwestern hog becomes more
and more amazing. OF course the ma
tionai pride of the people OF the whole
country, and the sectional pride of the
west, will prompt every body to wish for,
and contribute what they can to make
it so, the fair to be a great success, but
the greater the success the greater the
sacrifice TO every other western city and
some of the western states. 1t Will be
good deal like small family just start
ing to housekeeping exhausting their
store Of provisions to entertain party OF
guests, and after they are gone the hosts
starving themselves as long as their pro-
visions should have lasted them in order
to get even. Still, if they choose to do
so, its nobody else's business.

A TIMELY MEASURE.

Senator Edmunds introduced bill in
congress recently which Is intended TO
protect United States officers from as
sault and murder while III the discharge
of their duties. The alarm has been set
up on behalf of the federal government
that it was its duty as well as its privl-
lege to punish those who interfered with
its officers in any manner whatever.
This claim was set forth IN a manner
and successfully maintained when Judge
Terry was killed by United States mar
shall for assaulting Justice Field. Ii has
never been insisted on 10 any considera-
bic degree however. ard so far as we
call TO mind no one has ever been pun
ished by the United States government
for interfering with its officers. There
are times. however, when the necessity
OF having such power vested in the GOV
eminent becomes so imperative that
there can be no further delay. and the
assassination of United States Marshal
Saunders III Florida a short time ago
makes the present suspicious for such
action. Hence Mr.. Edmunds' bill. As
we understand it there can be no objec-
ton 20 the measure. and ii Will probably
PISS without opposition, whatever the
on the part of politicians in
certain quarters TO oppose 1t.

A WIDE DIFFERENCE.

The Mexican silver ores should be adj
mitted free upon the same principle that
sugar should be, namely that the home
supply is totally inadequate to the demand
and is likely TO continue so.-Emporia Re-
publican.
On the contrary, no two articles and
industries could be mentioned wherein
there could be found wider difference
in the effect of the application OF the
same rule and policy. The quality or
character Of the Mexican ores needed by
our smelters can not be had in sufficient
quantities mere because they do not ex
list, as far as known, TO say nothing of
the market that the advantageous ex-
portation of the ores from Mexico here
will open there for our products, and the
employment here of profitable labor,
much of which will not be so employed
unless the said ores can be had to adj
vantage. AS to the sugar side, free
sugar would induce the foreign product
to come in in such quantity as to reduce
the price below profitable production
here, thus forcing the possible abandon
ment here of that industry. OF course
those who may be forced out of the
sugar industry here under such circum-
stances could go TO work at something
else, Just as the smelters and their OPP
eratives could; but that would make
them competitors in whatever line of
business OF industry they might engage,
without contributing in any way to
the opening up of new fields or extend
ing old ones for the expectation of our
surplus products of farm and factory.
For these and other reasons that could
be gwen the Republicans simile is far
from being apt.

1t is described as a lethargic sleep, and
no doctors have thus far met with sue

said TO be epidemic in Rome, and spread

many isolated cases in our remembrance
that were similar admits of possibility
of such a malady.
