had made their enterance through

This one preferred having some one
else do the fish catching for him.
The boys had got a good sackful OF
pike which they left near a stump
while they amused themselves on a
raft they had thrown together. They
looked ashore after a time to see a big
bear walking on with the bag OF fish
over his shoulder.
He paid not the least attention to
their shoutings, having. as IL trans

ing the stock OF their gun across at

THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight and Thursday.
OUR PREDICTIONS CAME TRUE.

The decision of Judge Evans, Of the
federal court, in the Paducah bond
cases, verifes the predictions made
by The Sun four years ago when the
question was up in the council 1t was
plain to any man of intelligence that
no court could hold otherwise than
that the city owed the debt, and would
have to pay IL. II is deplorable that
we ever had body Of public men
foolish enough to rerudiate such an
obligation. The members Of the coun-
Gil were advised then to pay the inter
est on the bonds and preserve the
good name and credit of Paducah, but
they were obdurate to the voice of
wisdom and the people and refused to
pay interest that had been regarded as
legal for ten years. The courts have
at last stepped in and said that the
city must pay.
The history of the bond case is one
that is soon told. When the city want
ed to get the st. Louis railroad to Pa
ducah in 1887 it was agreed by avote
of the people to issue 100000 in
/, bonds to secure it. The vote may have
been improperly taken, technically
speaking, but the count showed that
the people were willing to assume this
indebtedness for the benefits Of the
railroad. This sho uld have been suffi-
Gent. the bonds were issued and the
railroad built. The bonds were sold
in the open market. They showed on
their face that they were valid. They
were the covenant Of an honest people
issued for value received, and were
bought by innocent purchasers, who
gave good money for them, and had
right to expect good money in return.
For ten years the city paid the in
terest on the bonds, thus recognizing
their legality. IL thus attested its be-
lief that they we're valid, issued by
authority of the people. and intended
to be paid by the people.
-Four years ago Democratic coun-
Gil decided that it could refund $780,
600 worth Of these bonds at rate of
interest ne-fourth of a cent lower
than the city was then paying. IL had
brokers here and finally signed con-
tract with New York concern to dis
pose Of the bones at ia per cent. IL
seems that some objection subsequent
" developed TO the rate Of interest,

APPEALING THE BOND CASE

The mayor is quoted as having said
that he is in favor of taking the bond
case to the supreme court for settle
ment. This does not necessarily mean
that the city is going to do it, but it
shows the disposition of the crowd
now in office, and what the people
have to expect from them. Not long
ago Judgment for about $1,000 was
rendered against the city, but the ad-
ministration decided not to appeal it,
The officers were perfectly willing
that the peoples money should be
paid and no further contest made of
it, principally because the beneficiary
stands in with the gang, and now, al
though holding public Office, can
not leave the public teat long enough
to repair the sidewalks that he built
and was paid for,
The people are in favor of paying
the bonds for they believe they arc
honest debts and that every court will
so decide. In addition to the interest
itself, the city is now compelled to pay
over 81, 900 interest on the unpaid
interest, and all the costs, and the
amounts will grow larger as long as il
remains in the court.
In the brick street case the people
know they didn't get their moneys
worth. The people know the contrao.
tor did not comply with his contract,
and that they have been forced to pay
for something they did not get. Yet
while these officials decided to pay
this off, the head Of the administra-

such thing. Any movement tending
to have those bonds repudiated by the
Republican council died aborning, the
members refusing TO impair the credit
of the city in any such manner. The
Democratic council came along after
it and did Just exactly what the Re-
publican council refused to do, and
behold the results
