THE MAN WITH A GRIEVANCE.

Hon. S. NJ. Clark, who for more
than a third of a century edited the
Keokuk Gate City, and who, in spite
of the jealousies of smaller men round
ed out his career with two terms in
congress, and who, if his health had
not been broken, would still be a
member, said in one of the best edi-
torials he ever wrote that sthe man
with a grievance is of no account in
politics"
Lafayette Young, the brilliant ed
itor of the DeMoines Daily Capital,
in a recent issue of his paper said:
"No man was eve successful in
politics who devoted himself to re-
venges. Men who reach great
heights in politics, and who carry
high ideas as to political conduct,
never mark out or pursue any man
for revenge. Revenge is the poorest
of investment in politics, as it is the
most unhappy investment in social
life"
Copying and commenting, the
Muscatine Journal, edited and pub
lished by Hon. John Mahin for more
than forty years, the longest service
of any newspaper man in Iowa, and
always a close observer of men, their
successes and failures, says:
"It may be added, as a truth, to be
remembered in all the walks of life,
that it is a very mean, weak, little
nature that car take delight in spite.
The nan who is always scheming "te
get even' does himself the Creates
injury.
Bacon says: He that studieth re
venge, keepeth his own wounds green.
And Milton: Revenge, at frs
thought sweet" Bitter, ere long
back on itself recoils. The men wht
start out to ''hunt the tiger" some
times imagine that they find a little
pleasure in the preliminary stages,
but later discover that the better and
safer way would have been to have re.
NAMED out of harms way. You never
know how small a man can be until
he tries to spread a grievance" rea
or imaginary, over a community, ant
a community never grows tired of {
man SO quickly as when he invites i
to carry his grievance as a burden
"Revenge!" Sweet in contemplation
perhaps to men of small minds, ant
smaller intellects, and still smalle:
principles, but bitter when the dreg
arc reached, and they always reachd
and longest remembered, for, as Milton
said in the lines quoted by the Journal
Revenge, at first thought sweet,
Bitter, ere long, back on itsel
coils"

this as their trump card.

be thrown out Of court, and the city
be allowed to proceed on her way to
completely routing the dis
semblers who sllege they are doing it
in the interest of the city and her peo-
pie. This is not intended to mean

A CHARM FROM AN OLD GRAVE
Negro Supposed TO Have Cut on the
Hand Of . Dead Man

One OF tie most mysterious cases
Of negro superstition has Just come TO
hight near Adairsville, Ga. The grave
OF Godfrey Barnesly. who has been
buried for more than thirty years, was
found opened and his right hand had
been cut on, evidently by negro for
the purpose OF obtaining the first
ioint VI the middle finger as a charm.
II was FIRST thought the motive might
have been robbery. as there were
stories around to the effect that Bar
nesly had been buried with a lot OF
money and jswelry. Relatives, how
ever. say this was not the case.
Indeed. upon Investigation the body
seemed not TO have been tampered
with except in the cutting on OF tho
hand. II was In a fairly good state
OF preservation. except that the flesh,
OF course. had withered away and
crumbled TO dust. The hand. how
ever. was missing and II Is explained
on the theory OF the negro suporsu-
ton that n n person carries always
with him the first joint Of the middle
finger OF a man who has been buried
he viii never be arrested, no matter
what crime he may commit
Circumstantial evidence points
strongly toward a negro who has
been loading around Adairsviile for
some time He borrowed wrap re-
Gently from a friend for the purpose
OF attending 10 some work, as he
said. when the wrap WAS returned Il
contained red mud. An examination
shows It was practically the game aa
that found in the grave.

seen relative to the Injunction and
asked what he thought about the ac-
ton taken by the councilmen.
Here is the whole matter summed
mp" no replied. ''In discussing the
fall elections we decided TO ask Judge
Pryor his opinion as to the legality
of the elections, IL they were held.
There had been some doubt, you I'M
derstand, to the transfer of the city
into the second class, and to settle this
we asked Judge Pryor his opinion, re-
CARELESS OF who il would hurt. He re-
piled in general and stated that the
elections would be Illegal, as the
transfer Of the city into cities OF the
second class was illegal. We then de-
cided to bring the suit and let the
court settle the matter"
Z He further stated that the street
improvements and other improvements
that would soon be made are made
under an entirely different way than
in cities of the second olass and to
avoid all complications and litigation
the suit was brought.
Judge Lightfoot said this afternoon
that the injunction would not be pre-
scented this afternoon but probably in
the morning, the first thing after con.

A BACKWARD STEP.

The injunction suit filed today to
"test the question" whether or not
Paducah was legally transferred to
the second class is a political move, IL
reports are true, to force Paducah
back into the third class on a tech
nicality and save the scalp of the
mayor, who would otherwise prob
ably be deprived of a portion of his
term, and perhaps other officers.
1t had been rumored for several
days past that such a suit was in
preparation, and that it would be in
the interest of certain officials who
were willing, in order to hold office
a year or two longer, to cause all
this trouble, expense and confusion,
force other men oat of office and
drag Paducah back to the third class,
all this to be done, on mere tech
nicality, as the bonds were repuaisted
a few years ago, contrary to the wish
of the people and detrimental to the
welfare Of the city and her fair name.
The case has not yet progressed far
enough to determine fully its import,
but it seems now that it is the
work of those seeking to oppose
the progress of Psducsh, and If
possible force her back into class
in which she does not belong, and
which the people wanted to leave and
thought they had left forever. 1t is
hoped that these rumors are untrue.
The people seem to be in favor, gener-
ally speaking, of Paducah's being in
the second class, which is fully COM
mensurate with her Importance. They
worked for it during the session of the
legislature, and il they did not sue
coed it was no. because they didn't
want to, or didn't think they had &C
complished what they desired. 1t
seems that the present suit is to undo
it all and entail a confusion that is as
unnecessary as it is uncalled for and
unpopular q s-& . 81
The crowd that is said to be behind
the move is one that fought the trans
f,r to the second class, fought the
effort to fill the vacancies in Office as
the law requires them to be filed at
the coming election, and who have

noon, and il it is granted, il will put
a quietus ON the board Of aldermen I'M
til the motion for permanent injunc-
ton comes up, which may be at any
time the court fixes. 1t will then be
made perpetual or dissolved, and thus
end the case or take il to the judge
of the court of appeals.
In the meantime it will not be
known whether certain local officers
appointed under the second class char
ter are holdinng office legally or not,
which Of their acts, If any, were legal
and binding, and whether there Is to
be an election in November or not.
In fact, the effect Of this litigation, be.
gun in friendly spirit" may be far
reaching, and there is no telling
where it will end.
The general impression is that the
suit was brought as political move
TO force Paducah back into the third
class in order that certain officers may
hold on, and restore them TO their
former power.
There has never been raised any
question as to the technical regular
ity of the oity's transfer from the
third TO the second class, and every.
body seemed to be satisfied with the
way it was done, and had never rails.
ed any question about IL. Il would
probably never have been thought OF
II it hadn't been for the suit now
filed.
The suit has been the topic OF con.
yersation everywhere this afternoon.
No one had ever heard any doubt ex.
pressed ~ to the legality Of the trans.
fer, and no one cared. One lawyer
said:
"If the suit is sustained, it will
simply ruin the city. All the money
collected by officers will have to be
paid back, the last assessment will be
illegal and every cent Of taxes have ia
be returned and to make = long story
short, the city will be bankrupt.
THE fact that some Of the men who
were opposed to PRducAh's going into
the second class are defendants in the
suit make 1t extremely probable that
they would not fight the case should
the injunction be sustained. II
would suit them exactly, and the PEG.
pie would have no redress "
1t has been suggested many times
today since the facts became known
that the Commercial club be called
together at once and take steps "a
employ some able attorney to protect
the city and the people in the suit
and fight it out TO the last ditch.
