''Yes; 1 thought I would, a min

So they parted.
It was perhaps week later that
the old man, stro)ling along in
different direction, again met the
little old lady and again turned to
walk with her. Neither was so gay
as on the former meeting. The lit
tie old lady's eyes we're almost sad,
and her companion noticed it.
"Somethin's frettin' we, Mary" he
said in a troubled tone.
She called up smile. "Oh, it

"only somehow L feel as if I'd out

The City Council PASSED an

The City Council passed an ordi-
nance Friday night requiring all hi
cycles to be provided with bells. We
seriously doubt the wisdom of this
action. Chicago has repealed just
such law, on the ground that the
wheelman does not exercise proper
care when he has bell. He simply
rings his bell and speeds ahead, upon
the idea that ringing has given him
the right-of-way. There are four
hundred bicycles in Hopkinsville and
the incessant juggling of bells may
confuse both riders and pedestrians
and do more harm than good. Thi.
was the experience of Chicago where
the law was tried. The rider without
a bell is more apt to be careful anc
on the lookout to avoid collision
and accidents. But a trial of the
ordinance will show whether the law
is a good one or not.

Now that the election is over we
have word cf friendly advice for the
Independent For the honor and de
cency of the Hopkinsville press, we
are glad to see that Mr.. Metcalfe has
cleansed his columns of the billings
gate and abuse Of the anonymous liar
and assassin of private character who
was given free rein during the cam
paign to abuse and vilify the Demo
cratic candidates and their support
ers. The people have spoken upon
the issues raised by the Independent
and Mr. Metcalfe should let this, his
first experience in the dirty work of
politics, be his last, and strive in flu
ture to elevate local journalism in
stead of lowering it's standard to the
level Of the contemplate and coward
ly creature who did its mud-slinging
under its recent contract.
We say this in kindly spirit. The
Independents lying and scurrilous
assaults upon good citizens we've a
disgrace to decent journalism. The
identity of the writer has not been
disclosed, but hislack of gentlemanly

TUESDAY, NOV. 9, 1891
TO THE BIC FOUR.

There are four Democrats on the
new City Council, constituting ma
iority of that body Upon these men
devolves the responsibility of giving
Hopkinsville Democratic admins
tration. They were elected as Dem
ocratic nominees in a straight party
fight aud the people expect them to
do their duty as Democrats. A part
OF their duty is to see that no man
who was not true to his party is given
any position in the city government.
There are Democrats willing to I'LL
these places and no man who does
not stand with both feet upon the
party platform has right to expect
any reward from those who won the
hard fought battle for supremacy last
week. Five or six of the present city
officials 1ted and worked against the
Democratic nominees in an unholy
alliance with Republicans, white and
black. The heads of these men
should be chopped off without mercy
or delay. Some OF them also voted
against the party ticket last year and
took part in organizations intended to
overturn Democratic principles. Let
no mistakes be made this time. See
that every man from the highest to
the lowest officer is a Democrat who
believes in his party and its platform
as a matter of principle. There is
work to be done to keep Hopkinsville
in Democratic hands and no man who
is not known to be true all along the
line should be trusted in office.
The editor of the Kentuckian is not
a candidate for any Office within the
gift of the Council, but as a private
citizen and a member Of the Demo
cratic organization Of the State, we
claim the right to ask that only Dem
ocrats who love their party be placed
in Office Let a Democratic caucus
be held and nominations made for
every office from pound keeper to
Mayor.

The election returns for Christian

leads the Democratic ticket, received
only l76 votes short Of the Bryan
vote last year, while Cansler, his oppo-
nent, is 1893 votes behind McKinley's
vote The average Democratic vote
was 400 short aud the average Re-

their days work, bat what a pity it is
that the other 400 didn't turn out and
save Forbes from defeat.

The papers are growing good deal
in both parties because the Democrats
turned the gold standard professors out
of the Kansas State University and the
Republican managers turned President
Andrews out of the Brown University in
Rhode Island. Don't kick-that's all
right. Professors, like everybody else,
have right to their own political opin.
ions. College managers also have right
to decide what kind of instruction they
want given to their students. A profess.
or who injects into the young mind his
own politics or religious creed, contrary
to the desire of the management, should
not be surprised if they object.

WOODFORD In MADRID.
The Programme Of the United States
Government Does Not Contemplate
A Declaration of War II Spain Rejects Me-
diation--The Minister'S Conference With
the Duke of Tctuan, the Foreign Min
lister, Was Most Satisfactory.

MADRID, Sept. 27.-The arrival OF
United States Minister Woodford from
San Sebastian has made "a sensation.
The programme of the United states
has been ascertained.
This does not contemplate declara-
tion of war If Spain rejects mediation,
but, according to report. an 'osten tn-
tious proclamation to the world of dis
approval of the Cuban regime by sus-
pending diplomatic relations with
Spain and withdrawing the United
States Minister"
Gen. Woodford has declined to be in
terviewed on the subject further than
to say that his conference with the
duke of Tetuan, the foreign minister,
was of a most satisfactory character.
The unexpected bitterness of the press
and of public opinion has painfully inn
pressed him. but he hopes this will soon
be allaycd, as he believes his mission fa-
vorable to Spanish interests andcan not
comprehend that Spain could reject
mediation designed to end an impovcr-
ishing war. He has not named time
at which the war must be terminated,
but he hopes, as the results of his ten
ders, that it will be ended quickly. He
believes the war is infiicting incalcula-
BILE loss upon the United States, and
that it is impossible to prevent the or.
ganization of filibustering expeditions
Unusual measures were taken to pro-
tect Minister Woodford on his journey
from San Sebastian to this city, but
the trip was quite uneventful. A party
of gendarmes, commanded by sui
lieutenant. guarded the southern cx
press on which he was n passenger.
Secret police were posted at the sta
ton, and the project of police was in
waiting to escort him to his hotel. The
drive through the streets was marked
by no special incident, though severa
people saluted him, receiving a bow in
return.
Some comment has been caused by
the fact that Minister Woodford's fam
lily has not accompanied him. but re
mains behind the French frontier
Minister Woodford explains that hi
party is u large one, requiring u com
modious home, and prefers spending
pleasant October at Biarritz until ;
suitable residence can be secured here
The legation can not be used as resi-
dence. Gen. Woodford has already en-
gagged a box at the Royal opera-hous
and has purchased horses.
