The effort to enforce the ordinance
against distractions on the streets and
sidewalks of Psducah is a good one.
Paducah is a very bad place for this.
Often from dozen to half hundred
goocs.boxes may be found piled up at
one place in front of down town stores
rendering the pavement almost impas-
sable. The fire departments are en-
dangered every time they make q run
after dark by the piles Of rubbish and
material left in the streets. and it is
remarkable that serious or fatal ac-
cident hes not occurred before now
from such carelessness. II the people
are taught that such violations will
be promptly punished, they will soon
stop them.

Complaints have been registered
with the proper authorities relative
to the Stag being spread on the streets
in many places. The sharp and point
ed substance cuts like a knife blade
and damages every rubber tire that
passes over it. 1t is understood that
the city authorities have replied to
these complaints that people can avoid
the disastrous effects of the Stag by
driving around it. Along the same
line of brilliant argument they might
drive around the holes in the street,
which need not be patched with any
thing. and then the Stag would not
have to be used.

MR.. CLEVELAND MAKES A HIT.

Although Grover Cleveland has re-
peatedly denied that he wanted or
would have the Democratic presiden-
tisl nomination, he is becoming quite
sprightly and loquacious of late. In
fact, it begins to look as if he is suffer
ing from an enthusiastic visit Of the
presidential bee. He made some.
what elaborate speech at a Madison
Square banquet in New York last
night, which has elected immediate
praise from the southern press.
The same papers that few days ago
were anathematizing him in a most
vicious manner, are now alluding to
his speech as "a statesmanlike utter
apce," because he takes the position
in his last address, that the southern
people are best able to judge questions
affecting the negro race, and there is
no use in the people of the north try
ing to take any hand in it.
Mr.. Cleveland significantly declares:
81 have faith in the honor and sim
certify of the respectable white people
of the south in their relations with
the negro and his Improvement and
well being. They do not believe in
the social equality of the race, and
they make no false pretenses in regard
TO it. That this does not grow out OF
hatred of the negro is very plain"
The sentiments he expresses through
out it are in keeping with the above
and they have made a tremendous hi
with the south. His coup seems des
tined to make him q strong candidate
for the Democratic presidential nomi
nation next year, and probably he knew
1t when he made the speech. 1t hal
been predicted for some time tina
Cleveland was the only logical candi
date for the Democratic nomination
and matters have begun to shape them
selves in such manner as to indicate
that the presumption was well found
ed.
II is now up to Mr.. Bryan. Thu
fun ought to begin pretty soon aftei
he sees what killing his ancient enc
my has made in the stronghold o
Democracy.

MANY INSTRUCTIONS
Warrants Issued Today for
About Fifty Persons.
Must Remove Boxes as Well as Mater
ial From the Streets.

A move has been inaugurated to re
lieve the city Of the many distractions
that are to be found ON nearly all tn,
streets and sidewalks. The ordinance
regulating such things has been dead
letter for some time, and Chief Wood
of the fire department has made Q
kick, as the fire department is endan-
gered by hidden distractions every
time it makes run at night.
The police commissioners have
urged the enforcement Of the law, aud
the police have received instructions
20 warrant every offerder. As re-
suit warrants were today sworn out
against about thirty merchants and
others for blockading the sidewalks
downtown, and fifteen or twenty for
blockading the streets and cutters.
Among the latter are several contract
ors who failed to put out danger lights
on piles of material they have left in
the streets and cutters. The police
are busy today serving the summons,
and the cases will probably come mp
morning before Judge San.

stocks opened strong at an advanc,

American securities in London were
strong and heavy buying orders came
from that source. This, with easier

ture. During the severe break of

ing by wealthy investors, who always
in former years came in on decided
slump Of this kind. The unanimous
sentiment seems to be that rich men
believe money will hug Q per cent
closely for some time, but even il this
IL to be true the break has taken q
great many Of the issues down to
or per cent basis, and at that rate
stocks should certainly be taken rs an
investment. The Frisco and Rock

has been nothing further done in the
Northern Security matter and but six

New York, April 15-Cotton-The
cotton market opened steady at an nd-
vance Of from 5 TO 7 points. This was
due primarily 10 manipulation by the
bull pool in order TO secure better
selling basis, and the break that &C.
CURED later was due to active realiz-
ing by the bull pool. The foreign
markets have been against taem, for
after being closed since Thursday last
It only came at an advance Of from 10

Chicago, Ill, April i5-Bull inter
ests continued to work hard in the
wheat pit today, and they were fairly
successful, having several bull items
to help them. There was good de-
mand and receipts at the three points
were very light. Prices would prob.
ably have been carried higher, but the
slump in the foreign market checked
the advance. The crop situation was
regarded ss ideal. The Michigan
state crop report showed a condition
of 81 for winter wheat. The Armour
crowd was inclined to rest today and
manipulative operations therefore
were comparatively small. Minneap.
oils and Duluth reported 1873 cars
