WON'T BLOT OUT FACTS.

President Roosevelt in his Me-
mortal Day address said;
"From time TO time there oc-
cur in our country, to the deep
and everlasting shame of our
people, lynchings carried on I'M
der circumstances of inhuman
cruelty and barbarity-a cruelty
infinitely worse than any that
has ever been committed by our
troops in the Philippines, worse
for the victims and far more
brutalizing to those guilty of it.
The men who fail to condemn
these lynchings, and yet clamor
about what has been done in the
Philippines, are indeed guilty OF
neglecting the beam in their own
eve while haunting their brother
about the mote in his"
There are come differences be-
tween a !ynching bee and the
cruelties practiced in the Phil
ippines by American troops
which Mr.. President Roosevelt
might have noted. In the first
place. Mr.. Roosevelt, we seel safe
in saving, has never yet heard OF
an individual being lynched tor
fighting for that liberty which he
ought to enjoy. That has not
happened in the South, or any
where else in this country. Men
are lynched for crime-and for
the most hideous and diabolical
crimes-as Mr.. Roosevelt we'll
knows. The water-cure is ad-
.ministered to the Filipino who re-
fuses to betray his comrades. The
native Filipino has been sub
iected to barbaroUs cruelties be-
cause he fights for liberty and
his land; because he has COM
mitted no other crime than resist
a foreign power that covets his
country and wants him for a
subject. True, the American
soldiers have suffered at the
hands of the Filipinos, bat it does
not become a nation Of such high
standing as the United States to
become barbarous, not for a
moment, especially when it is re-
membered that it went to the
Philippines to perform a mission
of mercy: to rescue the natives
from Spanish atrocities, and to
christianize the islands. Pratlng
about lynohings in this country
does not justify American mis-
conduct inc The Philippines nc
more shan American misconduct
in the Philippines justifieS lynch
ings in this country, neither does
it blot out the. fact that we have
killed more natives in three years
than those atrocious Spaniards
did in thirty, and practiced cruel
ties which the average Spaniard
knows nothing Of, That fact OBJ
stinately refuses tc be blotted.

Sylvester Fennoyer, eX-Goy-
ernor Of Oregon, died suddenly
last week. Gov. Pennoyer was a
great friend to the laboring man,
and his election was due mainly
to his advocacy of a measure
driving the Chinese, who were
fast supplanting white men as
workmen, from the state. AT
one time during his administra-
ton as governor, the laborers on
a certain railroad failed to receive
their wages, and prepared to
march on the town to demand
their pay. Gov. Pennoyer was
hastily summoned and earnestly
urged to call out the state troops.
His reply was: IF these labor
ers are not paid and a riot en-
sues, will not authorize the call
ing out Of the troops, but ii they
are paid and a riot ensues, I will
take prompt steps to quell' the
Disturbance" The result was
the workmen received their pay
in full and all danger was aver
ted.

The people should not lose sight of
two important matters that they are
to vote on at the approaching election,
the issue of 500. 900 bonds to make
substantial improvements in the streets
and the authority to the council to
make 81 year contract with the wa
ter company for hydrant rental at .
uniform and permanent rate Of s25 a
year for each hydrant Should the
first question carry, the city will be
IN position to improve her principal
streets right. and should the last, to
secure alteration plant that will
cost $4,000 and give the city clear
water the year around. We have
clear water now only when the river
is low. These two questions, in addi-
tion to the vsrious candidates, are to
be voted on by the people at the ap.
preaching election, and should not be
forgotten. 1t is very necessary that
everybody vote, tor to defeat either
proposition would be very unfortunate
for the best interests of the city. The
bonds are not a tax, and will not have
to be paid by this generation In fact
the saving to the CITY of money that is
now spent on street improvement will
amount each year to more than enough
to pay the interest and sinking fund,
aud when the bonds fall due there
will be enough money in the sinking
fund, as required by law, to pay them,
and no one will have been percephbly
taxed to do il.

Our twilight competitor, to tell the
truth, doesn't know anything about
what's going ON in Paducah, and
hence discreetly refrsins from saying
anything. Two times it made a
bluff. One was when it called at
tention to the danger of our ice har-
Dor from the washing away of the ISL
and opposite the city. 1t was shown
by the Sun, that our ice harbor was
three miles above the vanishing isl
and and when the government engi'
neer passed the other day and did not
seem alarmed for Paducah's future, no
further Opinions" were ventured by
our esteemed opponent. Another time
it did take sides in the COW election,
but after working mp its 1877 readers
to frenzy over the election it gave
the wrong date, and when they went
to vote they found they were a day
late. Do not, dear public, hurt the
cripple.
