CALLED TO THE SLAUGHTER.

CALLED TO THE SLAUGHTER.
A fulsome call has been made
through the papers on Mayor d. A.
Yeiser to announce for the Democrat
&c mayoralty nomination. This Is
doubtless preliminary to the mayors
announcement as candidate. 1t ap-
pears from the call, which probably
had the sanction of the mayor as is
customary in such cases, before 1t was
published, that one Of the principal
reasons his friends think he ought to
be reelected is that" the term Of office
fG which you were elected in 1901
was reduced by two years in the trans
fer Of our city from the third to sec
ond class. and hence we believe it but
just, fair and equitable that you be
permitted to retain the office for at
least the full term to which the people
elected you"
To express it more plainly, this en-
thusiastic friend of the mayor thinks
that because the court of appeals took
of two years of the mayors term, the
people ought now to give him four adj
ditional years to compensate him for
the outrage. The people, however,
have probably not forgotten that only
one other man ever served two year
term as mayor of Paducah, and that
was the late Captain Joe johnson. he
was anxious to be reelected, and was
q good, capable man, yet DR.. Yeiser
ran against him and defeated him
without compunction. He did not
seem to be of the opinion then that q
man should be given another term be-
cause two years Of his term was taken
of by law. He simply hustled around
and took the office from Captain
johnson. despite the fact that Captain
johnson had lost two years Of his term
Yet one of his friends now claims
that DR.. Yeiser, who has served longer
than any other man rs mayor, ought
to be given four years for the two
he loses by the transfer of class,
although it was not deemed advisable
to give a former mayor who had
served only two years in office,
another term. As 90 Mayor Yeiser's
record as chief executive his ad-
ministrations have excelled in sew
eral things. In the first place, he has
served longer than any other man, and
will round out nine years as mayor
when he completes this year. During
his administration the city has had the
three largest tax rates in her history,
81. so, s1.65 and s1.65; he has drawn
the highest salary ever paid q munich.
pal officer more money has been vast
ed, more trouble encountered in off,
cisl circles, and more unmitigated gall
has bs4n displayed, than during any
simiisf period of the city's history.
To crown It all, some friend now asks
that the people give Mayor Yeiser
four years for the two that his term
has been shortened. Mayor Yeiser is
an affable, courtly gentleman, but he
should not allow his political friends
to deceive him. There is going to be
a warm fight in municipal circles this
year, and the mayor should not over
estimate his strength and enter a con-
test that does not look very promising
for him. There are whole lot of
knives newly whetted to take his scalp.

WHAT THE PEOPLE EXPECT.

THE anti-machine men were cleaned
out Saturday. The machine men will
be cleaned out in November.
"Not by the machine men within
the Republican party. Let us disa-
buse our minds of the impression that
the people of Kentucky at this time
are in mood to put mp with machine
politics of one party in preference to
the machine politics Of the other. It
is not so. The people of Kentucky
are tired of machine politics. They
are tired of the office-holding trust.
They are tired of bitterness and into'er
ance. They are tired Of the calamity
howlers. They are tired Of men who
stuff ballot boxes and falsify election
returns. They are tired Of men who
seek to enact laws. the purpose Of
which is to conceal crimes against pop
ular suffrage.
but let us remember that the Re-
publican party has got to bring an in
dictment against the Democrats in
power; they have got to make a mo-
tion before the people to displace
them. Before the motion can be car
ried the Republicans must show what
the effect will be. They must show
moreover, their ,superiority as admins
traitors of the law. They must prove
within the Republican party that ma
chine politics has been overthrow
and popular sovereignty installed, and
they must convince the'peopie that .
Republican victory means forward
movement for all the interests direct
ly affecting the prosperity and happi
ness of the people. The Republican,
must not only get away from some o.
their past unfortunate experiences, but
they must prove to the people beyond

Is LELAND FOR SMITHa
Reported That the Old Feud Is
Buried.

Is Cyrus Leland supporting Farmer
A. W. Smith for department command
er OF the g. A K. at MCPHERSON tnls
week? That is a question that the p0lt-
ticians are guessing on today, and some
of them are guessing in the affirmative
Mr.. Leland and Farmer Smith have
been political enemies for several
years. Each has turned up his nose at
the other Smith was one Of the lead
ing boss busters three years ago, and
he and Leland have always been Al
swords points.
But recently there has been a consid-
cradle change in certain quarters. For
instance, Pat CCney and Leland nave
grown quite familiar. Captain Coney
was also prominent in the original boss
buster movement He backed Pool GRIN
stead in the bitter fight which Grin
stead made on Leland in Doniphan
county which landed Grinstead in jail
and incidentally caused Captain Coney
to be indicted by a United States grand
jury for misuse of the mails in writing
letter abusing Leland. The letter IN
some way fell into Leland's hands. The
indictment followed.
But now COneys and Leland are warm
friends. Just bow it started no one
knows. but the beginning dates back
three or four months At first both
seemed ashamed Of il. One would be
sitting in the Copeland lobby when the
other would come in. They would wink
at one another and then get off in some
corridor and converse. Now each IS
ready to acknowledge that the other IS
a pretty decent sort of a fellow after all.
Coney has always been warm friend
of Farmer Smith. He has doomed
Smith for every Office he has wanted,
and they have been legion This year.
as there isn't anything else to run for,
Smith is a candidate for department
commander Of the G. A. R.. with a good
chance of being successful And it is
rumored that Leland is supporting
Smith.
It has leaked out that when Smiths
name was connected with the new boss
busters movement a few weeks ago ne
hurried to Gov Bailey's office to deny it.
He had a long. conference with the govern
or He denied having been at the boss
busters meeting or to have had any con
neetion with the movement. Since then
Smith and Leland have been getting
chummy and only a few days ago they
had a long consultation at the Copeland
incident that caused no end of astonish-
ment to the friends of both who heard
of it.

WALL STREET AND WASH
INGTON.

IF'rom the Albany Times-IJnion.
1t is noticeable that most of the nos
sibie combinations to beat President
Roosevelt for the nomination next
year are suggested by Wall street
hnanciers or Washington politicians
The assertions made from time to time
Of bis political failures have come chief
" from the same sources. Ever since
he has taken office this expert opin-
ion has been busy pointing out oc-
casions on which the president has
committed political suicide. Bv this
time these views Of high hnanciers and
practical politicians are taken by the
country at about their true value.
These prolific sources of gossip seem
strangely out Of touch with the real
sentiment OF the country.
A Washington correspondent of
many years experience has called at
tention to the fact that this phenome-
non is old. The veteran politicians of
Washington expected Blaine to be
nominated in 1876 and to be elected il,
1884. They saw no chance for Cleve-
land in 1892, and at various times they
have predicted the triumph of such
presidential possibilities as German.
The continued overthrow of their
prophecies has not made them more
dihident about expressing an opinion.
Occasionally their judgments are still
accepted by the public on the ground
that they are at. the center Of things
and so ought to know.
The reason why Wall street and
Washington SO frequently go astras
in political predictions is the same III
both cases. Both the hnauciers and
the politicians aTe. so close to the
machine that they forget that the
power is with the people. after all. a
political manipulation with money. seems
lnvinctble to men who are constantly
seeing the power Of the organization
manifested in minor affairs in which
the people are not concerned. So wher
some matter comes up over which tbs
voters are thoroughly aroused thl
Washington observers and the Wal
street spectators find their most cher
ished prophecies overturned. Thes
know that tho. coterie which is general
Iy supposed to control things favors Z
ship subsidy. and so they assume tina
IL win be adopted in spite Of popular
opposition. They understand tn

NINE BULLETS IN HIN.
killing Of Gov. BogdanOvitch an
Act of Revenge.

Ufa, European Russia, May 20.-Ths
assassination of Governor Bogdanoviteh
in the town park here was apparently
an act of revenge growing out of the
riot At Slatusk IN March last. when %
persons were killed and 90 others wound-
ed by gendarmes and troops. Details
OF the governors assassination show
that he was walking along among the
crowds in the park yesterday afternoon
when he was approached in a shady
lane near the church by two men. one
of whom bowed and handed Bogdano-
witch a packet. While the governor was
examining it the men drew revolyers
and riddled Bogdanovitch with bullets
no les than nine being lodged IN his
breast and spine. The governor died Oh
the spot. The church Waterman ran
to the scene on. hearing the firing bu4
was unable to stop the assassins, whs
escaped by threatening to shoot all who
barred their way.
Bogdanovitch had been governor OF
the province for six years and was gen
orally popular.
