The GeOlOgfst Has an Interesting
Story of the Phenomena.
Fort France, May 80. Fernand.
Clerc wealthy landed proprietor of
Martinique, arrived yesterday and an
ntunced that Mr.. KEENAN, and his party
were safe on a plantation at the north
end Of the island.
Professor Robert T. Hill, Uuited States
government geologist, for whose safety
there was great anxiety, returned yester-
day completely worn out. He said
My attempt to examine the crater has been
futile. succeeded, however in getting very
close TO Morne Rouge. At O'Clock Monday
night witnessed from point near the ruins
Of st. Pierre a frightful explosion from Mont
Pelee and noted the accompanying phenom-
ena. While these eruptions continue no sane
man should attempt to ascend to the crater
of the volcano. Gigantic mushroom shaped
columns Of smoke and cinders assembled into
the clear, star-lit sky, and then spread, in
vast black sheet. to the south and directly
over my head Through this sheet, which
extended distance Of ten miles from the
crater, vivid and awful lightning like bolts
flashed with alarming frequency. They fol-
lowed distinct paths Of ignition, but were dif-
ferent from lightning in that the bolts were
horizontal and not perpendicular. This is in
disputablee evidence of the explosive oxyda-
ton of gases after they left the crater. This
Is a most important observation and explains,
in part, the awful catastrophe This pheno-
menon is entirely new in volcanic history
I took many photographs but do not hest
tate to acknowledge that was terrified But
Il was not the only person SO frightened Two
newspaper correspondents who we're close to
Morne Rouge some hours before me became
scared, ran three miles down the mountain
and fastened into Fort de France.
Nearly all the phenomena o. these volcanic
outbreaks are new to science and many Of
them have not yet been explained. The vol
cano is still intensely active, and cannot
make any predictions as to what it will do.
Mr.. Hill is authority for the assertion
that Pelee is now eiecting true lava
(molten rock, matter not unlike that
which covered Pompeii.
This Is the first time the production Of
real lava by volcanoes in this part Of the
world has been noted, and the fact may
presage terrible results
Mr., Hill will not discuss the matter.
but other scientists here agree that tho
cerditiors now known to exist are more
Threatening than those before the de-
struction of ST. Pierre.

The Lexington Leader says; Lex
ington can never hope to be anything
more than an overgrown country
town, clinging to Anticipated methods
in all public work, until 1t provides a
modern sewerage system, constructed
upon sound engineering principles,
and providing a scientific method of
sewage disposal. It is not enough for
us to have a few haphazard sewers
running through the principal streets
and emptyiDg into a sluggish town
branch' without any thought of the
final destination or disposition of the
sewerage that is poured into its mar
row channel" Yet Paducah has had
district OF sanitary sewerage in
the heart of the city, where it is most
needed, for five years, and no one
has been compelled to connect with
il. Is this the kind Of progress to
which to call the attention of strsn-
gers who desire to locate here and
invest money?

VOTING FOR ANYTHING.

II the Democrats of Paoucah had
not been accustomed all their lives to
voting for anything that the pot
house politicians put up and ran on
the Democratic ticket Paducah might
now have been twice as large and
important, with double the popula-
tion. They have been taught and
urged to vote in city elections for
any man who is a Democrat, no mat
ter how much better and more pro-
gressive Republican or anything else
out for the same Office might be. As
stated In Saturdays Sun, it is now
time for them to be weaned from such
folly. They ought to be able to see
how disastrous it has proven in the
past, and will prove again.
Five or six years ago The Sun
fought the battles Of the Republican
nominees for city offices and warned
the voters against the gang that was
nominated by the Democrats. The
Democrats voted for the ticket, pre-
sumably because it was made up Of
Democrats, and the administration
bankrupted the city. 1t squandered
e10o,000 on the streets. 1t WI sted
thousands of dollars in laying
drain pipes throughout the city to
take the place of wooden eulverts.
II spent $4,000 or more tor -four
blocks of brick street that was SC
badly built that the same men who
let the contract refused to pay fol-

about all the legacy that administra-
tion left the people. Look at the
streets today. the same streets that
$780, 900 was spent on in four years !

pipe laid because the others are too
small. All that was wasted. The
city was forced to borrow money be-
fore the first of the year. Money APP
propriated for paying interest on re-
pudiated bonds was collected and spent
to continue the extravaganza Of these
same officials that the public was
warned against beforehand, and yet
there is nothing to show for it today
except deficit and a si.s5 tax rate.
Last year The Sun warned the peo-
pie against the present set Of officials.
They were nominated by the Demo
Gratis, and perhaps because they were
Democrats were voted for and elected.
At any rate it is hard to find any other
reason for electing them. They have
on numerous occasions proven them
selves totally inadequate to discharge
the duties OF public officials as they
should be discharged in growing
city. But they were nominated by
the Democrats, and the same organs
that only few days ago were skin
ming them up one side aud down the
other advocated their election and
told the voters what good men they
were. The truthfulness Of those pre-
election claims is now clear enough.
II not the people are respectfully re-
ferred to the issues of the past two
week of the same organs that told
them to vote for them year ago and
still boast of it With big deficit as
legacy these officials started in by
making a 81 IS tax rate, and they
haven't done anything since but dis
gust the general public. These two
administrations, remember, were
Democratic. They were elected,

Republican administration that came
before, and which, handicapped by

that preceded it or has come after
it. Il gave Psducsh the only mod
ern improvement she has, sewerage,
and the Democrats have been so strong
and unreasonable in their prejudices
that they have for four years re-
fused or failed to compel people to
use it.
II the Democrats are going to con-
tiDue this sort of business year after
year they ought to muzzle their organs
and give the men they elect to office
support in their incoinpetency and
extravaganza. II they think the men
the Republicans nominate for Office

least give them a trial Others Ger.
tainly couldn't do any worse than the
past two Democratic Administrations.
They certainly couldn't do worse than
what the Democrats are accused. by
their own party organs Of doing,
when one administration struck a
blow at the city's credit by repudiat-
ing city bonds, and bankrupted the
city in the bargain, and the succeeding
administration made Si.S5 tax rate
to maintain the city government for
seven months and attempted to throw
the city back into the third class be-
sides. II the Democrats by their votes
consent to such imposition again they
