1t now remains for Kentucky to
show that while political -assassins
openly march through the streets of
her capital city and may shoot to kill
from the windows of her public build

strong enough to not only call a halt
upon that political policy which has for
its backing the shotgun and the re-
volver, but to see that justice within
the law, and by lawful means, is
meeted out in this case.

THE REFUNDING ORDINANCE.


The refunding ordinance passed the
City Council last nsght by the unani-
nous vote of both Branches, and the
people will be called upon to vote up
on it at a special election to be held
February "a. The Register does not
approve of this ordinance, holding
that it would have been a far better
policy to have simply refunded the
compromise loan, provided for the pur-
chase of the electric light plant, and
proceeded with the payment of the
other city debt as it fell due. A per-
sistence in this policy would have seer
the city finances i'll very easy condi-
ton in a few yeare. and there would
have been a constantly increasing sum
to be applied to general city expedi
lures. If this ordinance now carries,
the city will have to pay interest on
practically the entire debt for ten
years, while putting up a sinking fund
at the rate of SIS, 900 per year for that
period.
Between now and the day of the
election the Register proposes to dis
euss this ordinance that taxpayers may
be enlightened before casting their
votes.

MUSICAL.

At this weeks concert by the Pittsburg
Orchestra on Friday, the thirteenth in the
seasons series, will be heard the ~soloist,
Miss Leonora Jackson, violinist, a young
lady scarce twenty-one years of age, who
has won the admiration and esteem of the
first critics of Europe. Miss Jackson
studied five years with DR.. Joachim, of
Berlin, and in many respects she is the
most famous pupil of this, the leading vio-
lin teacher of the world. She has the
charm and grace Of a young girl, and New
York critics have pronounced her playing
beautiful. Her first appearance in this
country after her work abroad was with
the New York Philharmonic Society about
four weeks ago, and this was followed by
engagements with the Boston Symphony
and with Mr.. Thomas in Chicago. Miss
Jackson is one of the most interesting
soloists we shall hear at the orchestra con-
certs this season. AT these concerts she
will play one of the l~oveliest of the
classic violin concertos, namely, the G
minor of Max Bruch, and in the second
part of the programme she will play with
orchestra the canzonetta of Tschaikowsky
and Ernst's Hungarian airs.
Mr.. Herbert introduces his new suite in
the orchestral programme this week. This
suite, written for Pittsburg. has never
been heard before and a surprise is in
store for those who attend the concerts
this week. Other numbers are the SYM
phonic prologue to Shakespeare's "Othel-
To- by Arnold Krug, the German COM
poser, and. the valse Caprice by Ruben
stein.
