From the later dispatches it APP
pears that General Lee finally carried
his point with the Sanish authorities
and that the remains of Ruiz, the
Cuban-American dentist, were ex-
humed and an autopsy held. There
we're present large number of Span
ish officers and the autopsy was held
in the office of Gen. Frondeviela,
Weyler's chief butcher, by whose or
ders Ruiz was probably murdered.
There was present an American ply
stefan with General Lee, but we are
told he was not permitted to take part
in the proceedings. 1t seems to have
been wholly in the hands OF. the Span
ish. While it did not show that DR..
Ruiz had been murdered, we are as
sured it did not reveal any indications
of suicide. The action OF the author
tiles from first to last in this matter
has been such as TO indicate desire
to cover something up, and the Amer
lean people will not be easily con-
WINGED that DIR. Ruiz was not MUIR
dered in bis cell neither will they be-
lleve but that many Others have gone
the same road. Unquestionably the
situation demands action by this
government which shall convince the
Spanish authorities that Uncle Sam
means business. 1t is said Gen. Lees
patience is about exhausted, and that
he has politely but firmly informed
the government that unless he can
have its support he will not continue
at his post. He is said to be de-
termined to have a respectful hearing
hereafter when it becomes necessary
for him TO make inquiries or interfere
in behalf of the American citizens or
know the reason for its refusal. We
hope these sayings are all true and
that the day has arrived when Amer
lean citizens incarcerated in Spanish
dungeons are about to secure the
rights TO which they are entitled I'M
der the existing treaties. Usually
they are arrested on flimsy pretexts
thrown into prison where they are
confined in dungeons without an atom
OF furniture, compelled to sleep on
bare damp floors without bedding Of
any kind, until their continued alb
sence causes friends to make
search and may be after several
weeks they are found through the ef-
forts OF General Lee or some other
official, no effort ever having ibeen
made to give them trial. This pro-
cedure, it is said, General Lee has
determined to break up. His exper-
ence teaches him that the moral
'orce Of man OF war is absolutely
Necessary to give effect to his de-
hands and though it is denied that
he has made such demand on the
government, the statement is reiter- ,
ted that he has asked that one be I
ent into Cuban waters.

THERE is still room for improve
m ents in the right of way ordinance,
which should be made before Its
adoption. We call attention again
to the two dollar switching charge,
which is too high. II left as it is two
dollars will be the minimum charge in
all cases and II will cost the business
men of Paducah many hundreds OF
dollars, which can be saved TO them
by the change. There is no question
That it would be accepted by the road
and the council owes it to the citi-
zens Of Paducah to make the amend
ment. Another amendment Of inn
portance that should be made is in
the language With reference to the To-
cation Of the tracks in the center Of
the streets. GAS near .as practical
be-" the language Of the ordinance,
is indefinite. 1t is possible to place
the track exactly in the center Of the
street, and there is no good reason
for leaving a loop hole for future diff
ficulties with the road. There are al
so left some uncertainties as to loca-
ton Of tracks by which to reach the
depot. This can be removed by a
provision that the company shall pass
over its own ground to the depot.
This il it does not own it can acquire.
There is no necessity for assuming
any responsibility therefor on the part
Of the city.

lures at identically the same time
of the year and the parties always
charge that the fire had destroyed |
the roots of their grass and they
want us to pay heavily for their
losses. Now, what puzzles me is
this; How can the fire started by
the owner of the land improve the
range and strengthen the grass
roots, while the railroad fire not
only burns up the grass, but de-
stroys the roots. Is it in the
chemical composition of the rail
roads coal this blighting influence
is to be found? If that is the case
we will try another kind of fuel,
bui I confess | don't understand it.
1t looks to me like the company
ought to get some compensation
from the land owner for saving
him the time and trouble of burn
ing off his range just at the exact
time when it is best for the i'm
provement of the grass, but some
how or other it seems that the rail
road don't bit the conditions Just
right, for they are always charged
with doing damage"
1t has been kuown for years that
railroads are important and success
full factors in the improvement of
live stock on farms and ranches
through which they may run. For
instance, any old spawned, hip
shot, gotch-eared, Anticipated spec
linen of horse flesh which the own
er is tired of feeding, strays upon
the track Of some enterprising rail
road and gets run down and ground
up into shape for tamale filters, and
forthwith, the owner sues the rail-
road company, setting up that the
defunct had pedigree reaching
way back to Araby's plains, a rec
ord as flyer, and was besides the
pet and pride of the household
The same sort of thing happens i.
steer, superannuated ram, meek
eyed COW or fragrant billy goat I'M
dertakes to obstruct the even tenor
of the railroad company's rolling
stock. The result is always TO i'm
prove the breed and enhance thu
value of the deceased animal, anC
Il ,ually the railroad company ii
glad to settle with the owner a
figure which would purchase {
herd of such animals as may hav
been killed"
