Paducsh. The SUN has come to be
the family paper Of the Plain City.
1t is full Of news and as dissemina-
tor Of local news has no equal in this
city. This fact the people quickly
recogni~oN '>t is that the
circulation Z, -..N Is second to
none. Ind,.. he phenomenal sue
cess OF the Sun and its great popu-
larity so quickly attained prompt us
to the belief, which we think is well
founded, that its circulation is with
out doubt the largest of any daily
paper in Paducah. The advertising
patronage Of the Sun speaks for itself.
Paducah's best and shrewdest adj
vertisers make liberal use Of its col.
umns and they do so knowing full
well the value OF the paper and results
are proving to them the wisdom OF
their course.

Fish In Deep Water.

a highly original observation upor
the behavior of fish in deep water, &c
remarkable as to deserve special no
tice, is attributed 70 a long-experi.
enced captain Of steam-fishina
smack. The fishing boats belonging to
the southern portions Of the North sea
found in their catch lately dispro
portionately small quantity Of cod
fish. The captain maintained that he
had foreseep this for eight days, he
cause most of the fish caught had sand
in their stomachs. He claims to have
observed that, just before tho fish left
the shallow water Of the southern
banks, they took sand into their stom.
achs, and soon after fish caught In
deeper northern waters showed the
same popularity. Then, when the time
for migrating from the deep waters
comes again, the fish dispose of the
sand. The theory has been advanced
that the sand is taken in as ballast, and
Is rejected when shallow water Is tobs
returned TO. The sand often difeSs
in color and grain from that of the bot
tom where the fish are found. II a

AMI deficit that may appear in the
national treasury during the first few
months Of the operation Of the new
tariff will not be unexpected by the
trainers of that measure. Antici-
pating higher tariff schedules the inn
porters have been rushing foreign
goods to the United States for several
months so that now many lines are
greatly overstocked. This will, of
course, operate to impede the re-
sumption of many factories until this
large surplus is worked off. This
action of the importers but empha-
sizes the evils Of free trade. 1t will
not take long to use up the imported
stocks and then the American factO-
ries will have their turn and the
American laborer will be freed, for
term Of years at least, from the blight
of free trade with its attendants Of
want, woe and misery. Itw found
to be no encouragement to the Amer
lean workingman out of a job, and
without money in his pocket, to tell
him that shiploads Of cheaper goods
we're coming into the markets Of this
country. He wanted employment
before he could buy. That he will
soon get employment under the new
order Of things is the confident ex-
pectation OF all friends Of the cause
OF Protection, and the hope even Of
its honest opponents.

the proposition put by "Inquisi-
tive" in q late issue Of the Sun,
when he wanted TO know why il the
price were the same the Mayor did
not take 500 roll calls instead OF
200. 1t is probable, however, that
the city did not have storage room
enough for the additional 800 or
that the labor Of looking after 500
more would be too much for the al
ready overtaxed energies Of the efli-
Gent city clerk. And then it may be
that the Mayor thought the city could
not survive after the next November
election and would go out OF BUSH

For a business-like administration

Only five months have passed since
the Inauguration of President Me.
Kinley, yet he has called congress to.
gether, the promised tariff bill has
been placed upon the statute books,
an international bmetallic commits
sion has secured assurances of an in
ternational conference to be held in
the United States, and the Secretary
Of the Treasury is now engaged in
shaping up system which will give
the promised revision Of the currency,
assuring such laws as will keep every
dollar of the currency as good as
gold. THIS is in extreme contrast
with the conditions under the Dem
ocratic administration four years
ago, and the prospects before the
country now are in equally striking
contrast with those which confronted
the suffering people in the first year
Of President Cleveland's administra-
zion.
Mr.. Bryan's silence, which has
crea,sd so zach surprise Of late, is
accounted for by the announcement
that the leaders of his party have
taken him into a woodshed and in-
formed him that while speech may be
silver silence is golden, and that he
had better 90 onto the gold platform |
80 far as speech-makiDg is concerned. |
Those nervous people who were |
alarmed lest President McKinley's |
recent civil service order would prove
Unpopular are finding that the re-
verse is true. The order is being
very generally commended by the
wisest and most patriotic citizens of
he country, and is condemned by
MY those who hoped TO see faithful
men and women removed from po-
,itions which they had honestly and
,onscientiously filed in order to giveI
the places TO others. President Nc
Kinley evidently supposes that the
party and those seven
OF voters who supported it
meant what was said by the St.
