CUT AND DRIED.

The meeting of the board of alder
men was cut and dried affair. II all
the others are like il Paducah will be
as bad a victim Of machine politics as
Lexington is 1t was known who
WAS to be the president Of the board,
and was known that only men whom
it was understood in advance would
vote for this gentleman for president
had been appointed. 1t was known
that it was the intention of the ad-
ministration to have eight aldermen
instead OF six, as other second class
cities have. Just why Paducsh should
have eight when Lexington, Coving.
ton and Newport have only six Ia
hard to understand, unless 1t Is to
afford the mayor an opportunity TO
create places for more Of his proteges.
1t is hoped the common council,
which will have to pass the ordinance
fixing the number Of aldermen, will
refuse to concur in the number fixed
by the board. eight. 1t is not believed
that eight are necessary or desirable.
II Lexington and other second class
cities can get along with six, SO can
Paducah.
And speaking Of politics, it is sim
cerely hoped that the drifting Of Pa
ducah toward peanut politics will be
stopped before anything serious re-
suits. II is beginning to become a
source of wonder who is at the head Of
the administration, the mayor, or a
certain popular gentleman who some
times openly boasts that no man can
get anything in Paducah without his
approval.

and il a majority of the state board
were Democratic partisans they would
naturally see, no matter what the vote
was, that the Democratic Legislators
got in where there was any chance to
get them in. This enabled these three
men, picked out by the same legisla-
ture that passed Mr.. Rhea's Goebel
law, to put in the kind of a legislature
it desired, and contests for governor
and lieutenant governor coming up
before the legislature, it was a fore
gone conclusion that they, or some Of
their county auxiliaries, were going
to put in a legislature that would de-
eide a gubernatorial contest in favor
of the men they wanted to ges the
offices. This is what they did, and it
worked just as they expected. They
wanted Democratic legislature that
would give the gubernatorial contest
to the Democratic candidates, and they
got it.
Can Mr.. Rhea claim that anything
like this was possible before the Goe-
bel law was enacted? Was there any
thing under the old law that enabled
legislators, after they took their seats,
to arbitrarily throw out the very votes
that elected them to Office:
The people Of this state are too fam
liar with the pernicioss features Of
the infamous Goebel regulation to be-
lieve that Mr.. Rhea could have the
brazen efYrontery to got mp in congress
and utter such Q pslpable fslsehood as
thas "n William Goebel had never
lived the law winch was invoked and
which settled the contest Of 1899
would have been the same"
The law which settled the contest Of
1899 was the one which enabled the
legislator of that memorable session
to have seats and decide the guoer-
Material contest in favor Of men who
were not elected and who were not
entitled to the Offices. The same
law which enabled the blind, unscru-
pulous partisans put by the Demo-
Gratis by virtue Of the Goebel law in
every voting precinct in the state and
on every county board Of election
commissioners, to manipulate, change
and certify to, as their partisan minds
prompted them, the vote Of the people.
These same boards certified TO the vote
by which Mr.. Rhea claimed seat in
congress. The boards had their exist
ence through the Goebel election. law,
and il. was only right and proper that
the Goebel election law should be ex-
posed to congress to show what film
sy claim Mr.. Rhea had to a seat there

An important step is TO be taken in
india with the evident object Of In
creasing the loyalty OF the native arts

al OF military rank upon a certain
number Of highly born cadets. A
large field is already provided for the
military employment OF native officers
Of good birth or position, nearly 5000
being In the commissioned ranks OF
the native army; but there has been
n dearth OF corresponding openings for
the sons Of Indian princes. mobiles and
gentlemen, who are every day receiv-
ing a superior education, but to whom
opportunities Of active public service
when they reach years Of manhoos are
restricted. A desire to crafty the niil-
itary aspirations Of these classes has
long existed. but difficulties in connec>
ton with selection. tuition. military
rank and duties have barred the way.
The present experiment will DO Of a
tentative character. and some time
must eiapse before Its details are fully
worked out II rests upon the periodi-
cal selection Of y small uumber-prob-
ably twenty TO start with-of scions
Of noble families. who. with rare.ex-
ceptions, will be drawn from the four
chiefs colleges at Ajmere, Lahore.
Rajkot and lndore. and who will con-
stitute what will be known as the In
perial cadet corps under the comman-
dant and adjutant. The cadets will
pass through q two years course Of
training In the cold weather. and Will

General Miles is still in bad fix.
While the senate will protect him so
far as his printed testimony is con-
cerned, there was great deal he said
that was not taken down, but the sub
stance of which was published in the
papers. The President can call for an
explanation from him for this. and il
he admits the truthfulness Of it he can
be disciplined. General Miles has
been well treated in his long service
and has been well paid. He has been
on easy street for . long time, and is

The levee is one Of the most fire.
auented places in tho city, and there
ought to be pavements down to the
foot of Broadway. 1t would cost the
city but a small sum of money to ex-
tend the sidewalks a short distance
down the hill, and it would enable
the people to reach the stone levee
without being swamped in the mud.
At present one Of the worst places in
Paducah is the levee and wharf. Pa
ducah is one of the most important
river cities from Cincinnati to New
Orleans, and yet presents one Of the
commonest, dirtiest, most unattractive

much money to make an Improvement,

RHEA's SPEECH IN CONGRESS.

RHEA's SPEECH IN CONGRESS.
Congressman Rhes, whose seat was
contested, must be . sadly deluded
man II he thinks anyone familiar with
the Goebel election law shares the
view of the law he professed to hold
before the House Of Representatives.
Perhaps he was misquoted. 1t is GER
tainly hoped so BY his friends in Ken
lucky, for even the most partisan
champions of the Goebel election law
do not claim it was fair. 1t welded .
complete chain that gave the Demo-
Gratis invincible control Of every Office
in the state, from that of constable to
that of governor.
The same legislature that passed
the Goebel law elected the state cleo
tion board, the fountain-head of the
Democratic oligarchy. This election
board appointed the county boards,
and the county boards appointed the
precinct officers who had charge Of the
polls. It is reasonable to presume that
q legislature that would enact such a
law as the Goebel law would elect
men on the state board of election
commissioners it thereby created, or
ct least majority, two out Of three,
who would best serve the interests Of
their party, not do justice to all, for
that is not a motive often found in a
politician, and it 10 reasonable to
presume that these state commits
sioners would confer with Demo-
cratic partisans in the various counties
and appoint on every county board a
majority of other partisans, who
would also be willing 1t all times
10 serve the party above everything
else. These county officers selected
the men who presided at the polls
and had direct control OF the cleo
tions. II two out of three Of the
county board were partisans, it 10
reasonable TO presume they would
put in their own men at the polls
wherever possible, and they evidently
did it.
The precinct officers, mostly Dem
ocrats, counted the vote after it was
cast and the county commissioners
had charge of the vote Of every pre-
oinct before it was certified to and
sent to the state board, and had the
power to try contests and decide who
was entitled to county offices. If these
men were honest they would doubtless
count the vote correctly, and in case
of contest render a fair decision, but
there was nothing requiring them to
be honest. They were not men neces-
CARLY in whom the people had conf
dence, expressed in the election TO
Office, such as the former oanvassing
board, the sheriff, county clerk and
county judge, but might be, under the
Goebel law, the rankest, most dis
honest psrtisans in the county. The
had it in their power to change the
vote in every precinct in the county,
or the total vote of the county, and
even slight changes in all counties or
several counties would make a great
change in the grand total
The state board had still more pow
or. 1t could throw out any quantity
of votes it chose, as it did in one con-
test, when the entire vote of jefferson
county was thrown out on a technical
ity. There was nothing under the old
law that permitted anything like this
on part of three men not holding Office
to which they were elected by the
people. These state election COM
