out differently. If such an organiza'
ton is formed it will be as safeguard
and protection to the people, which is
more than the general council is or has
ever been, and from indications will
ever be.
When the council went into Office it
knew there was Likelihood OF
shortage in funds. Instead Of pre-
pairing to meet this shortage, and pre-
pairing for the increased expenses Of
going into the second class, the coun-
Gil Immediately began raising salaries,
aud soon had increased them to .
total Of $40, 900 year. There was no
appropriation for this. even If there
had otherwise been enough money to
ran the city during the remainder Of
the fiscal year. When the time for
making the annual levy arrived the
council a xed the tax rate at sl.s5, and
made the levy for whole year,
which was contrary to law, as cities
Of the second class cannot make levy
beyond January. and the former coun-
ellis levy extends to June 1. One ex-
cuse for making this levy was that
there was about $50, 900 in debts to
pay. Another was that the city had to
make provision for its bonded debt,
which is absurd, as the sinking fund
with which to pay of the bonds is
fixed by ordinance. and the exact
amount is known every year.
In this tax levy ordinance the conn
Gil appropriated thousands Of dollars
too much for various departments. II
appropriated for the six months until
the new levy more in many instances
than has heretofore been required to
run the city for whole year. 1t
made q levy, sufficient to raise more
money for the expenses Of six months
than has been spent in year in the
past.
In addition to this, the council
has since been increasing salaries
a ulawfully after the officers have
been elected. They have increased
their own compensation during
their term Of office, have taken the
preliminary steps to create an Office
no provision for which is made in
the charter, and which will virtu-
ally be increasing the city clerks
salary, and have signed an agree
ment to pay the city engi 1eer $50
month more than the salary fixed by
law. There is no telling what is
coming, but for public servants to
show such a reprehensible disregard
for the public welfare, and then de-
clare that no good citizen can afford
to take steps to stop 1t and prevent fu-
ture raids .on the treasury is sheer
In Louisville number Of good cit
liens have subscribed to a fund and
will at once institute suit to prevent
the payment Of salaries alleged to be
illegal, as they were increased during
the term for which the incumbent
were elected. In addition to stopping
the payment Of these salaries out Of
the money collected from the people,
steps will be taken to recover from
those responsible the money already
illegally paid out. Something like
this is needed in Paducah to stop the
unlawful drains on the treasury.

COUNTRY.

Chattanooga, May 30.-A resolution
was presented to the international Inn
migration and Commercial association,
negro organization meeting in Chat
tanooga, petitioning congress to APP
propriate $500, 900. 900 for the deporta-
ton of any dissatisfied negroes. II is
claimed that negroes enjoy in the
United States less political protection
than people in Turkey or China, and
that the United States, by reason Of
mob violence, Is assuming first place
in the ranks of lawless nations.

Kentucky has come TO the front
with the most enterprising young
lady heard of in many moons. She
went to the home Of her sweetheart
in Barren county, stole him while
his parents were asleep, and took him
to Gallatin, Tenn, where they were
married. She was of age with some
to spare, but he was a mere boy.

THE COURT AND THE LAW.
louisville Post.

Yesterday the court Of appeals, by a
unanimous opinion, rendered a deci-
sion that establishes beyond dispute
local self. government in Kentucky.
Local self-government is written
broad and deep in the constitution.
Local self-government is the only self
government.
Yet politicians from different parts
Of the state appear at Frankfort at
every session of the legislature with
numerous bills granting them special
favors in contempt of the will of the
people.
By log-rolling these bills pass the
Legislature, but fortunately for the
state they cannot pass the court Of
appeals.
Nothing has occurred in Kentucky
for twenty years that contributes more
to the course of good government than
the action of the court of appeals yes
tsrday. 1t restores ones faith In the
and the law. II is tri-
umph of reason over party greed
It is not partisan decision, nor is
1t o bipartisan decision; 1t Is the act
Of a united court, and reflects honor
on every member Of that body. N

A fair sized ahdierce enjoyed Chas
Middleton's laughable comedy, "Mr.
Young Of Utah." at La Belle park
theatre last night. The play is an ex.
ceedingly funny and lively one, end
elected much enthusiastic applause.
The members of the company were I'M
usually well cast Tor the various char.
acters, and without exception, every
one did better work-although this
work has always been goodman in
any play heretofore presented by
them. Tonight "Mr. Young Of
Utah" will DO again presented, and
its last production in this run will
be on Saturday night. 1t will also
be the attraction at the matinee on
Saturday afternoon, and being pure
comedy, is especially suited for the
enjoyment Of children, who make mp
the bulk of the Saturday mstinses.
Prices at the matinee are reduced to
8 and 10 cents, and 1t IL very seldom
that the opportunity to enjoy such a
good attraction at so little . price
is afforded theatre-goers.
