A VITAL QUESTION.

The pulpit, press and public admin
istration are supposed to advocate and
agitate what is best for the happiness,
health, or general welfare of the
greatest number. The greatest good
70 the greatest number is a principle
universally recognized in legislating
for the people. 1t Is unfortunate that
some classes seem to forget it. Ma
jority, in a government like ours,
should rule. We are not expected to
advocate or enact laws that make some
class, perohance some unfortunate
class, beneficiaries at the expense of
the majority. It is very unwise and
very unjust in any minority class OF
people to think that because they are
poor, sick or unable to make living,
that the welfare of those who are rich,
well and happy should DO tempered
with to please or benefit these few.
We should try to benefit the many,
and IL in doing this the few are
displeased, it is their misfortune.
This is true in the COW case. II out
of twenty thousand people in Paducah
there are a majority who own cows,
and these COW owners desire to turn
their cows loose to run at large in the
streets, then the minority, who do
not own cows, should quietly submit,
for majority should rule. II, how
ever, a majority of the people do not
own cows, and If they want the few
who do own cows to keep them up,
the COW law should be passed. II is
plain to anyone that the majority Of
people, or even the ma ority Of voters.
do not own cows. There are not a
thousand cows in the entire city, yet
there are twenty thousand people and
several thousand voters. This being
the case, 1t is sheer arrogance for the
poorer class or any other class to con-
tend that Paducah should allow cows
to roam the streets to please them
only few Of the residents and tax
payers. We should seek the greatest
good to the greatest number and we
cannot secure it by legislating for the
benefit of few people who want to
feed their cows at public expense.
They do not feed their children at
the public expense, and there is no
reason they should feed their COWS
that way,
The idea of beauty, progress. and
health has been entirely eliminated
from the theory of the COW people.
Their only plea is that it is necessary
for the few people who own COWS, to
allow everybody who owns COW and
can't afford to feed it, to let it 20
where it wants to, whether it be to
the commons or some private yard.
This is not reason. 1t is not the wish
Of the few poor people who own cows,

The governor of Alabama has just
pardoned three lynchers. They only
helped hang q negro who did nothing
but quarrel with q white man, and
they received only ten years each.
Another reason they were pardoned
IA doubtless that they are said to be
the only white men ever convicted
in Alabama for lynching a negro,

STOLE CASH BOX.
Thief RObs Southern Pacific OF.
fee in Business Hours.

New York, July 16.-A sneak thief
has marched into the offices OF the
Southern Pacific railway at 349 Broad
way, this city, and although there were
half a hundred people there at the time.
he calmly marched out again. taking
with him the cashiers money box. The
box contained the days receipts. Us
ually it holds $25000 to 900 in nego-
table paper and cash. On this occasion,
however, it held only about $1,000 in
checks and notes and, the cashier thinks
less than $100 in cash.
As a rule the box is kept in the safe
of the office, but the cashier had taken
it out and placed it on his desk, in
tending to return it to the safe in a
moment. He left his compartment for
a short time and when he got back the
box was gone and no trace of the thief
could be found. The checks can, it is
thought be readily cashed. as many of
them are for small amounts and the
cashier has no record of them whereby
he can stop payment.

Board of Charities.

Governor Stanley has appointed Charles
Yoe, of Independence, as member of the

The other four members Of the board were
reappointed. Yoe is appointed for the two

appoint ment is affective August 1.
Governor Stanley says that Yoe was
strongly urged for the appointment two
years ago when Mr.. Snyder was named

urging his appointment now in order that
the Third district may be recognized on
the board. Heretofore the First district
has had two members the board and
the Third district none.

ernor Staney are:
H. ]. Allen Ottawa, four years term be-

term beginning April l. 1901. Hannah is a
Democrat.
These appointments have not, Of course,
been confirmed, and the appointeeS will
be subject to removal by Governor Stan
ley'S successor.
A place on the board pays $1,000 year,

over the state and the members are sup
posed to pay their own expenses.
