The regular meeting OF the City
Council was held Tuesday night, all
OF the members being present.
The usual monthly accounts were
allowed.
II. Il. Wiley was appointed a member
Of the Fire Company in place OF
James Western, who has removed from
the city, and Jno. A. Twyman was

ment and said Wiley appointed to the
said place.
II. r. Little, Auditor and Treasur-
er, presented thirty-five 800 school
bonds paid by him and said bonds
were burned in open Council.
The following ordinance limiting
the franchise recently granted for
electric lights was passed:
Whereas, on the 4th day Of Sept. 1889,
the Board OF Council Of the city of
Hopkinsville, composed in part of its
present members, by It's ordinance Of
said date granted to s. II. Inner and
his associates the exclusive right TO
build, erect and put into operation in
said city, an electric light plant of
sufficient capacity to supply the city
of Hopkinsyille and its citizens as they
might require and demand, with the
exclusive right and privilege Of using
the streets and alleys Of said city for
conducting electricity to the points
desired, which exclusive privilege upon
certain conditions was to continue for a
period Of 25 years. And whereas in the
opinion and judgment of the present
Board of Councilmen, said ordinance
granting said exclusive privilege was
passed and adopted hastily and with
out due and proper consideration.
That it creates a monopoly, is against
public policy, and violates the
constitution Of the State, and that no
vested rights in the opinion Of this
Council Lave accrued to said S. H.
Turner and his associates under said
ordinance. Therefore be it ordained
that SO much OF said ordinance OF Sept.
4, 1889, as attempts to confer upon
S. III. Turner and his associates and
assigns the exclusive privilege above
referred to and all other exclusive
privileges granted in said ordinance
be and the same are hereby repealed
and annulled.
The Council also decided against
asking the Legislature for the authority
to vote ON the construction Of water
works at the public expense.

Captured by Philadelphia Detectives.
Detectives Bond aud Murray yesterday
arrested George c. Webb, AZ years old,
residing on Nineteenth street, above
Jefferson, at Thirteenth and Oxford
streets, in Philadelphia, as a fugitive
from Justice, charged with the embezzle-
ment Of 1925 In money, and clothing
valued at $75, the property of Edward l.
Wilson, merchant tailor of 1881 Chestnut
street.
It is alleged, by the Philadelphia
Wilson for trip to Texas last month to
take orders, but that, instead of going
there, he remained In Philadelphia, where
he spent the money and disposed of the
sample garments. Wilson, learning that
Webb was with his wife. in st. Georges,
Delaware, went there on last Friday, but
found he had left. He then notified
Chief of Detectives Wood and obtained a
warrant from Magistrate Ladner for
Webb's arrest. The police at st. Georges
arrested Webb on telegram from Chief
Wood on last Saturday. Detective Muir
ray started for St. Georges on Sunday.
Webb was kept in building near the

Is rHg NEGRO A NUlsANcEY

The colored brother Is not satisfied. He
Is In a perennial state of political erup-
ton and complaint.
He complains Of the party, to which ho
does not offer his mercenary vote, for
their political hostility. The colored
brethren offer an adherence valuable only
for it's numbers, it's ubiquity and its
capacity Of expansion to meet the exegen-
cies Of the situation They are disgrun-
tied and disappointed because the Dem
ocrAts display scorn and general lack Of
appreciation for that sort Of political
assistance.
Many of them have felt that 1t was
their inherent right" to offer their suf-
frages for sale and that they were badly
treated, II the Democrats did not provide
every possible facility to insure them the
highest market price. But they seem to
have become tired Of that too well known
racket" and to have started new
species Of martyrdom.
They are complaining now that they 90
not have proper educational advantages.
There are schools and teachers here,
more than sufficient for their needs.
There is an ample fund to equip more
schools and hire more teachers when pu-
pills appear in the schools to receive the
| inestimabie boon of education. They
have maximum of advantage IL
minimum cost. In fact 1t costs them
practically nothing, for they do not pay
anything.
There is no tax receipt required to
enter the schools. They have no com
plant that Democratic and hostile
officials stand guard to prevent them
from the full, perfect and free enjoyment
Of their school rights, ashley allege Of th'
right of suffrage.
AS matter Of fact, the school board
here is in the hands Of Republicans
their friends. Moseses, political sponsors
educators, guardians and general promo
tsrs, Is they are won't to claim.
But what do we sect 1t is difficult Il

MTuPERATloN is NOT DISCUSSION.
The interview with Senator Donahoe,
in another column, gives the facts in re-
gard to the Three Commissioners Bill
Those jealous advocates for the aboli-
tion OF the Levy Court allowed THEW zeal
to get the advantage Of their discretion.
In fact they showed an entire lack Of dis.
erection. They were so hostile to the
Levy Court that they descended to per
sonal crusade against some of the mem
bers Of the Court.
The character Of some Of the opposition
to the Levy Court, even now, betraYi
itself and condemns itself as persona
crusade rather than an attempt to Obtain
better form Of government. Some o
the most ardent crusaders do not love tn
Three Commissioners plan 50 srdentl,
as they hate a single Levy Courtman.
Besides this class, there are the Reput
licans and quasi Republicans, who ar
blindly opposed to anything Democrats,
and the so-cslled independents who ar
wildly and Unfortunately opposed I
everything that exists. The latter elias
favor any change simply because the
are constitutionslly discontented wit
everything that is Such advocacy I
these three classes offer is unworthy
