NO PROTEST.
The Projectors Of the p c. & N. W.
R. R, Have Not Objected.
The Proposed Route of the Illinois Central
Would Cause no inconvenience,

The published report that protest
had been read or offered by the pro-
jectors of the p, O. and n, W. rail
road to the lower board of the council
at its meeting Monday night was an
error, as no such protest was men,
tioued by anyone. After having asked
for and been granted the right OF way
along the same street, several blocks
of which are now oocuiepd by track
of the l. @. railroad, and without pro-
test from that company, it would be
strikingly inconsistent for them to
file objections to a grant to the l. O.
railroad to parallel their proposed line
on several other blocks, continuing
the same double track conditions tow
ard the city limits and through an un-
improved section within the city
boundaries. The only concession asked
of the city by the |. O. railroad com
pany is TO commence at the terminus
of their present right of way near the
end Of Ninth street and continue in
the direct line Of what would be. Ninth
street if extended to the city limits.
In doing this they will cross three in
tersecting streets and some ground re-
served in deeds for the purpose of ex-
tending the street in the future. In
the main private ground will be
crossed, the rights for which must be
acquired from owners. No route
could be selected for the entrance Of
the /. @. railroad into the city with
its Cairo inc which would cause less
Inconvenience TO public or private in
terests nor one which would open a
bettor section for industrial looa-
lions. Members Of the Commercial
club and other enterprising citizens
who have interested themselves in try
ing to ind suitable sites for manufao-
turing plants, will readily realize this.
What the /. @. railroad company asks
from the city is very little indeed com
pared with the important advantages
they hope TO afford the community in
all its material interests

the worthy members of the general
council that no penny-wise- pound
foolish policy should be followed.
The gravel used in street repair in
Paducah should be the best possible to
get in this section, The price is Sec
ondsry consideration. The cheap
gravel has been tried for several years
past IL looks as IL past councils have
tried every kind Of worthless gravel
they could find, and only small guam
tity Of good gravel has ever been used.
The inferior gravel Is soon converted
into either dust OF mud, and money
invested in that kind of material is
wasted. The streets are always a
source of endless complaint. The
Sun does not desire to boom s.nybody's
gravel, nor to abuse aiiybcdy's gravel,
but for the good of Paducah and the
people who have to put up with the
dust in summer and the mud in win
ter, it insists that only the best
gravel be bought for our streets. II
is acknowledged that gentlemen with
inferior gravel TO sell have a strong
pull" with the administration, aud
the administration probably owes
them debt of gratitude, but they
ought to be made to sell it else
where. Paducah has had her fill of

SOME SIGN UP
It is Likely That Hard Fight is yet
To Be Made.
One Contractor Signed up This Morning
What Each Has To Say

Mr.. Henry Simpson. one Of the car.
penter contractors, today signed the
agreement submitted by the members
of the carpenters union, and his men
returned to work. The contractors
who belong to the Builders Associa-
tion, it is understood, had agreed not
to sign, and this will relieve him Of
membership in the association.
II seems that some Of the smaller
contractors are weakening, but 1t is
the larger ones principally that the
union men are after. One of the con-
tractors stated this morning that this
afternoon they will put Oh. union men
on their jobs. In case the members Of
other unions refuse to work with
them it is understood the contractors
Of other trades who are members Of
the Building Association will bring
non-union men here and employ them
exclusively hereafter In all work, in
which event the carpenters and others
claim they will go to contracting
themselves, and will be able to under
bid the other contractors by knocking
of the contractors profits, and taking
. Job simply for the work there is In
II.
1t is still difficult to predict whore
it will all end. Most Of the building
in the city has stopped until some
settlement IL reached. II

The grocers in Paducah who so
courteously and promptly offered and
agreed to cooperate with Prof. Allen
in the matter of promoting the sale of
pure food deserve great credit. In
some cities, instead of doing as the
Paducah grocers have done, number
of them organized for the purpose of
fighting the pure food laws. This IN
dictates that there is great deal of
profit in the sale of sdulterants, and
that some men are mean and svaricious
enough to want to fill their pockets at
the sacrifice Of the health Of innocent
people. This is true because there is
no doubt but that many impure and
villainous compounds are unhesitat-
ingly sold to unsuspecting people daily
for genuine or harmless articles
There are on the market many cheap
and injurious articles that pass for

might be traced TO the consumption
of impure foods, il people paid more
attention to. such things. The aver.
age person has to take a thing for
what it appears to be, but the crit
ical and skillful chemist can tell at
glance the ingregdisnts, and the
people have to depend ON these ex-
perts to tell them what is pure and
what injurious. The pure food law
in Paducah is to be followed out &c

organized the indianapolis convention
Mr.. Cleveland gave no public sign OF
what his course would be until after
that convention had met Mr.. Cleve-
land is not their leader. He is a
strong, patriotic and esteemed citizen
But those who opposed Mr., Bryan in
1896 did not wait for him to speak
and do not now wait for his leader
ship. But Mr.. Bryan is under the
impression that an attack on Cleveland
will be accepted as an attack upon all
who repudiated him.
II is two years until the convention
this attack will lose much of its force
by that time. The thoughtful, con-
servative, patriotic Democrats who
still believe that the Democratic party
has some higher object than to nom
mate Mr.. Bryan for defeat will con-
slider this bitter, uarelenting spirit of
selfish mslignity and gravely debate
whether Mr.. Bryan is necessary I;
whether indeed he owns the party I;
whether his nomination is worth the
continual, permanent and destructive
division of their party. All observant
persons believe it will be Bryan and
defeat, and his attack will excite qtes-
tioning-"Is Mr.. Bryan worth perpet-
uai defeat?"

DAILY THOUGHT.

The thought of the fullness and inn
portance Of life, the greatness of the
work one has to do-to train ourselves
for immortality should cause us to
blush for the time lost, the energy
wasted, in signing and grooming over

against windmills.

The manufacturers OF the country
are now importing more than million
dollars worth Of materials for their
workshops every day in the year, and
are exporting more than a million dol
lars worth of their finished product
each day. The imports of manufac-
turers' materials in the eight months
ending with February, 1902, were, ac-
cordinR to a statement just issued by
tine treasury bureau Of statistics,
s270, 202, IA, and the export of finish
ed products during the same period
were 1857, 907, 430. Thus in 243 days
of the fiscal year the manufacturers
have imported 270 million dollars
worth of material and exported 257
million dollars worth of their finish
ed product, thus averaging more
than $1,000, 900 of both imports and
exports for every day Of the fiscal year
up to the beginning of the present
month. The importation cf manufac'
turers' materials has been greater in
the eight months Just ended than in
the corresponding period of any pre-
oeding year. On the export side of the
account manufacturers are showing
an improved record. The bureau Of
statistics reports of exports Of manu-
features during both January and
February show decided increase over
the corresponding months Of 1901,
the gain in the months In question
being more than eight million dol,
lars over the same months of thu,
preceding year% 4

PERPETUAL DEFEAT


kA@oAAhSNch AA'@HA''
We are not surprised at the attack
of Mr.. Bryan on Cleveland. 1t came
rather sooner than we anticipated and
it is more bitter than we expected 1t
strikes us as being too soon and too
bitter 1t is not wise either in its
timeliness OF tone. Mr.. Brvsn has
believed since 1896 that he could not
be renominated if there was a reunion
of the Democratic party. and so from
1896 to 1900 he did all in his power
to prevent the return of the sound
money Democrats; he exhausted all
his power to keep alive that unpleas-
ant and unfortunate difference. He
still remains under that conviction.
He intends to control the convention
of 1904 and either have himself nom
mated or select nominee. If he be-
lieves there is any chance of election
he will nominate himself we are in
clined to the opinion he will do this
anyhow II he can II there is no
chance Of election or il the convention
hesitates to nominate him he will
select the nominee. But he cannot
control that convention unless he
keeps out of the party those who did
not support him in 1896. II there is
q cordial, sincere, frank reunion Of
the party; IL the east and the west and
the south meet in the spirit of friend
ly and sincere Cancellation for the pur-
pose Of finding common ground upon
which all can stand ana of agreeing
upon . nominee whom all can sup
port, Mr.. Bryan knows he will lose
ownership of that convention. So he
opens the batteries of his wrath and
enmity on Mr.. Cleveland and notifies
all Bryanites that war on Cleveland
nd all who are supposed to agree
with him must be fierce, unrelenting
and savage. We do not mean that the
attack Is to be coarse or brutal
though the tone is below the dignity
of one who has been the nominee Of q
great;persy and the language unbecom-
ing the rules of debate; Mr.. Bryan
begins BY losing sight of the oour-
tesies and proprieties Of political de-
bate. But this is not Of substance.
The material part is the open declar-
alton Of perpetual war against all
who did not support Mr.. Bryan in
1896 and in 1900. These are to be
kept ont Of the Democratic party /;
these are enemies to whom no quar-
ter is to be shown. Mr.. Cleveland is
selected as the supposed type, the
leader. In fact. Mr.. Cleveland is not

The COW question is like Banquo's
ghost, 1t is hoped by the best peo-
pie of Paduaoh that the members Of
the Civic Federation will succeed in
keeping the COWS off of the streets
There is no objection to people own
ing as many cows as they desire, so
they keep them up. The public does
not desire to look at them, nor TO have
their yards devastated by them.
There is now a general council, in
s,ead of a common council, and it Is
possible that with the new members
the COW question may be settled in an
entirely different manner from what
il was the last time.
