tine at Present.
Case Of Smallpox Results in Prisoners
Being Kept Up.

The city prison for the first time in
the history of Paducah is under quar-.
antine, and none of the prisoners have
been taken from the lookup since the
discovery of case of smallpox there
last Friday evening.
The bastile has been thoroughly
fumigated and the doctors say there Is
no danger. but to be on the safe side
the prisoners who have been in the
habit of working on the chain gang
are enjoying an indefinite respite and
have not been taken out for three
days.
Street Inspector Eaker, who has
good use for the men on the streets,
keenly feels their loss and stated this
morning that he understood the chain
,-sbg would not be taken out again for
nine days. when all danger will have
passed. AZ the city hall it was stated
that it had not been decided when the
prisoners would sgaip be taken out to
work on the streets.
Although the prisoners are not al
lowed to leave the prison, others are
being put in, and there are at present
about "a confined in the negro quar-
tiers, where the case of smallpox was
found.

them to, although in other places
within two years after its construction
people are usually, IL not always, CON-
PEELED to connect with the sewerage.
The first excuse offered for not requir-
ing it in Paducah was that the people
had just finished paying for the sew
erage itself. and were not able to stand
the additional expense of connecting
with It. Now, after they have had am
pie time to recoup, the excuse offered
is that the city cannot compel them to
patronize a private oorporation"-the
water company theory absolutely
foolish, because any city, notwithstand-
ing bushel Of laws otherwise prohib-
tive, can compel anything that is
deemed necessary or advisable for the
health Of the people. In addition. to
compel people to connect with the
sewerage would not necessarily force
them to patronize the water company.
1t is possible for every person to have
his own system of water works for
flushing the sewerage pipes, and in
cities many have. They put up tank,
fill 1t by pumping water from . we'll,
and have an independent system. II
anyone here preferred that to the pay
snent Of water rent, he could do 1t,
and would not be compelled 60 pat
ronize the water company.
Vixen the question Of keeping up
COWS was agitated, it was claimed
that to do as other cities do, aud re-
luire stock kept mp, would impose a
ha -dship on some classes. Yet Padu-
cab has ,oxar 10000 people, embracing
ave or six ttousand families. and the

Chancellor Andrews of the Univer-
sity of Nebraska has gracefully repud-
lated his former emphatic views on
free silver, and If Mr.. Bryan and other
staunch advocates of the faliacy would
follow his example they would doubt
less find it more productive of public
confidence than their present course.
Chancellor Andrews says in an address
on Ethics in Money" 81 confess
the error of the opinion held for a
number of years regarding the produc-
tion of gold. The output of gold has
increased enormously since 1890. By
1879, it had completely checked the
fall which prices had been undergoing
since 1873, and since 1897 has caused
considerable rise in prices. From
the advice of the greatest biologists,
both in this country and in Europe,
and the opinions of the practical min
ers of Colorado, whom l say when |
visited Colorado in 1893, ! believed
the greatest outputs of gold were past.
/ am willing to admit that it was an
astounding mistake, and that was in
great and iexcusable error. now

THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight and Tuesday.
NEEDED. AN UP-To-DATE MAN.

The News Democrat yesterday men
toned few things that The Sun has
been telling the people for several
years past. Ii says:
1.-THE people of Paducsh are looking
for an administration OF the city's
affairs that will be Commensurate
with the remarkable growth and in
vestment of private capital that has
been going on here for several years
past. Paducsh is no longer mere
town, it is blooming city. But the
siuggishness Of the city administration
in providing public improvements is
becoming q serious menace to its con-
tinued growth. The lack of suffi-
cient sewer system iss Scandal and
the condition of many streets. cutters
and sidewalks an every day reproaoh.
Capital will soon hesitate to invest in
town now 70 large and yel so indif-
ferent to the essentials of economical
administration and healthy commu-
nifty. Why should Paducah be thus
handicapped? Why should steps that
would rebound many fold to the com
mon welfare be so long delayed9 Why
will not the present mayor, or some
other man experienced in public affairs
announce positive policy of sweeping
public improvements, cou rageously
stick to it, win out ON ii and perpetu-
ate his name in the community as a
public benefactori All the people of
Paducsh need is leader in whom
they have confidence and they will toll
low. but no timid, Facilitating policy
will receive countenance from them.
The time is ripe for such . leader.
Who will lead?" 4-
We believe any person with the in
terests of the city at heart, regardless
Of politics, can cheerfully indorse the
above. We do not believe, however,
that the Democrats can break their rec.
ord and have out a man who suits the
above description. There is no indi.
cation Of 1t yet. There has always
been too much of disposition in Pa
ducsb to legislate in way supposed
to be for the good of the masses. In
reality, 1t has not been. They may
have been saved few dollars now and
then, but they were permanently de.
prived of advantages and benefits that
they needed great deal more than
money.
The city could by spending few
hundred dollars a year, or by imposing
q small special tax, sprinkle the streets
that need it most in summer, and con
tribute to the health and comfort Of
the people, as well as save the streets
the wear and tear that result from Z
hot. dry. dusty condition. But every
time anyone suggests it. the cry o.
graft" is raised, and the timoroui
Legislators drop the project as it were
charged with electricity.
Regarding the lack Of sewerage, Pa
ducah has had first class sewersg'
system for five years or more, sys
tenn that has proven q success despit'
the neglect and inoompetency witt
which it has been managed since thu
Democrats took charge of it. Saver
age is acknowledged by all health su
thorities to be almost indispensable Il
city, and ours is acknowledged to b.
a good system, yet only about one
fourth of the PEOPLE in the sewerag'
district have connected with it. Thu

fFERENT OFFICERS.

FERENT OfflCEhS.
The people in more than one city
are taking into their own hands the
work neglected by officials who are
devoting more time to politics than to
the public good. Following the lead
of Louisville women, who had to get
out and clean the streets adjacent to
their homes, Saturday was denominat-
Cd "cleaning day" in several neglect
ed Chicago wards, and dispatch says:
Residents made an early appear
ance in streets, back alleys and vacant
lots, ready for their task. Business
men who had laid off work during the
half holiday were to be seen shoveling
piles of dirt into receptacles Of various
kinds. while housekeepers took their
brooms into the streets and made
things as clean there as their own
pantry floors. Boys and girls collect
ed in throngs and assisted in the work,
which is promised to make the Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth wards models
of cleanliness. Chairman OFT Of the
improvement committee superintend-
ed the efforts of an army of boys in
converting a lot into a playground by
filling in with rubbish and dirt from
the surrounding streets. The dirt col
lected is carried to vacant lots of the
district to fill in sunken places, while
the rubbish is either burned on the
lots or, If not inflammable, buried I'M

in Ciudsd Porfris Disz, Mexico. op-
posite Eagle Pass, and destroyed pro-
perty valued at not less than $4,000.

buildings destroyed were owned by L..
Llerseda, and were occupied by the
Coahuila bank and Trueber Bros, fur
niture and general merchandise deal
ers. In the bank building $40, 1000 in
