Washington Has Hopes Of an Early Signing
Of the Treaty.

Washington. Dec. 6.-The advices
from Paris, to the effect that it may be
reasonably presumed that the peace
commissioners will be ready to sign a
treaty of peace within a day or two are
fully confirmed here. Ii is learned that
the Presidents instructions to Judge
Day were to hasten the conclusion and
to that end the American commissions
have been authorized the limit treaty
closely to the protocol points. leaving
other matters to hereafter be dealt
with.
AS such separation of the points is
entirely in line with the expressed de-
sire of the Spanish commissioners.
there appears to be no reason now that
an agreement has been reached as TO
all of the protocol points. why those
should not be Immediately reduced to
the form in which it is desired they
should appear in treaty and be at
once signed by the commissioners. In
this case, it is possible that the treaty
of peace may be submitted to Congress
even before the Christmas recess.

ton in the Senate to limit the peace
treaty to the points of the protocol.

A Petty PrOeeeding.

The city council last night wrangl-
cd long and aimlessly over politics of
a puny Office. Not only was the time
of members of the council wasted,
but business belonging to the pubic
was neglected. There was nothing in
all this by-play that is Of concern TO
the people. Some members of the
municipal body, inflated unduly over
the imaginary Importance Of the po'
sition went on strut that would
have dimmed the parade of a con-
gressman-all because the brand of
Dr. Alyey's politics was not blown in
his record.
While this was going on citizens OF
neglected districts CROPPED In darkness
because there is not adequate ma
chinery in the municipal light plants
to furnish arc lamps for the streets.
While this was going ON a party Of
public servants were working mud
from the streets onto the side walks
under a prctense of cleaning the
thoroughfares, and in another place
workmen were dumping mud on the
streets in the guise OF making re-
pairs.
All this wrangle and incipient talk.
and nothing attempted toward solv-
ing the question of the railway bond
and the regulation of an honest
debt. But what claim has the pub
lie on the councilmen so long as Mr..
Ezell finds a kink in the political
lines Of the administration: Christ
mas would come bleak and dismal To
the citizens of Paducah were they
brought TO "A realization of the awful
fact that young man just startling
in his profession had been received in
a democratic pull, when there linger-
ed suspicion that he had never been
dyed in the wool.
The petty politics of the council
must be saved even though public
business goes To the bow-wows.
