with such lead-pipe oinchf This is
the way the same crowd did the Re-

stole large number of votes and then
didn't steal enough, and had to extend
their thievery to the Legislature. Sure

DOG EAT DOG.
princeton Chronicle. }


John K. Hendrlck, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor,
is now making the most earnest APP
peal of his life to the voters and news
paper men of the state to turn down
the grafters, rings and machines of
the state and by so doing throw their
influence to him, claiming that he is
some kind Of an honest hearted saint
who knows nothing but the right and
whose soul if turned inside out be as
spotless as the garments Of Christ. In
the very next breath he says that II
went through a most turbulent contest
as attorney for Mr.. Beckham and the
other state officials for the positions
they now hold, without fee or reward
from Mr.. Beckham." He further says
that "we have already passed through
fearful ordeals for his benefit" These
things are true. because they come
from the pen of Mr.. Hendrick him
self This is not all, because we re-
member very distinctly that after he
had offered himself without fec as at.
torney for Mr. Becki n and after he
assisted them in stealing the state
offices from the men who had been
regularly and honestly elected he turns
around aud with all his power as a
lawyer and his ability as a political
demagogue he gratuitously offered his
services to prosecute Caleb Powers
and others whom he had brutally rob-
bed, for the benefit Of Mr.. Beckham.
We remember how bitterly he prose-
cuted and prosecuted the Republican
state officials and how venomous were
his attacks in the Goebel and Beck
ham contests against Justice and fair
ness, striking as he did at the very
bedrock of our system of government,
that is a government of the people and
by the people. These things confirm
our belief that he is a political CRATER
of the meanest type. He cares as lit
tie for the welfare and honor of his
state, the security and honesty Of the
ballot box, the great and noble prin-
ciples OF justice and fairness to all as
he does for the Hottestot of Africa.
His appeals against rings. and cliques
are farce and both he and Beckham
are as mean politically as the devil
and the Democratic party want them
TO be. IL is six of one and half
dozen OF tho other, and true case OF
dog eat dog. When thieves fall out
ust men get their dues.

President Roosevelt is making a
splendid impression with his speeches
in the west. Both the British the Ger
man press regard his expressions as IN
dicative of sound foreign policy, and
both praise him very highly. The
president has made one of the best
chief executives the United States ever
had, and he is destined to become still
greater. There is great satisfaction
TO the American people in having Il
president who is regarded so highly
among the great powers Of the outs d +,
world, as well as by the best people
IN our own country.

UnexpectedIncident ola Sermon
at Mayfield Last Night.
The Mayor Arose and Corrected the
Circuit Rider in Public

An unusual incident marked the reg
ular appearance at May1eld last night
of Rev. Holder, a circuit rider who
breaches there every four weeks.
The sermon was in the nature Of a
temperance lecture, and the preacher,
according to reports. took crack at
most everything, and was unusually
severe on the city authorities. blaming
TENN for the killing there recently of
Ben Thurmond in a "blind tiger.
Mayor A. j. Watts, who happened
to be present, arose during the sermon
and said that he wished to correct the
speaker. He then explained that May
field is getting good, and advised pub
lie speakers TO always investigate what
they publicly state before making I'M
warranted assertions.
One gentlemen who was there in
formed Sun reporter this morning
that the mayor asserted that Mayfield
was run about as well by this mayor
and council as it could he by Chyist
and the apostles.
The affair created quite little fur

the sympathies of the general public
are with the mayor.

adjournment was announced. near
MIDNIGHT, verbal pledges to the
amount OF hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars were given.
June 4, 1900. congress adopted a
measure appropriating $5.OOO,OOO for
the Louisiana Purchase exposition,
but IL carried two proylsos-that an
equal amount should be pledged by
popular subscription and another S.
600, 900 appropriated by the city Of st.
Louis. In order to meet the second
provision IL was necessary TO amend
the city charter. and this question and
also the plan to appropriate sl.OOO.OOO
for a state exhibit were submitted to
the voters Of Missouri at the Novem-
Der election. 1900, when the amend
ments were adopted by q large ma
jority.
Jan. ~, 1901, a sworn statement
sent to Washington declared that the
100000 popular subscription had
been closed. At this time commit
tee, consisting OF Ex-Governor Francis,
william II. Thompson. Pierre Cho
teau, Fred Lehman and James L.
Blair, were at the nations capital
working In the interests Of a second
fair bill. which had been introduced
by Congressman Tawney. After weeks
OF labor, combating opposition which
came from eastern states, the worlds
fair workers were finally rewarded by
the passage OF the bill granting an
appropriation Of s5.000,00O, twice the
amount given to the Chicago fair
Meanwhile the municipal assembly
OF st. Louis. acting on the permission
given by the people of Missouri to
amend the charter, had issued the
same amount in bonds, thus making
s15.O00,0O0 available for thu work Of
construction.

A cIrIz EN- WITH COURAGE.

n
The result of the suit brought by a
citizen with the courage to make
fight against q character of public nui-
sance that costs many people time and
money every year, will be watched
with unusual interest IN Paducah.
This is the injunction suit to restrain
the owner of certain chickens from al
lowing them to invade the plaintiffs
yard and ruin his property. The suit
itself may appear amusing, CT even in
significant, but there is principle I'M
derlying it that has never yet been
tested here.
The same principle Of law that i'm
flicts penalty on n person for endsn-
gering the life or safety of citizens by
keeping vicious dog, should exact
some modicum of consideration from
citizens as to neighbours property.
No one would seek TO deny a citizen
the right to own chickens or a COW, or
chickens and score Of cows, but there
should be some way to protect other
people from both the chicken and COW,
or cows. II is fully realized that Pa
ducah has not reached that stage OF
development necessary to eliminate
the rural element. and it is we'll known
that quite a number of good, law abid-
ing peoplerown both chickens or COWS,
but a question that many people have
asked for several years past is, would
it not be justice to the many people in
Paducah who do net own these domes-
tic luxurles, to require the others 10
keep their property on their own prem
ises? In the past citizens who want
TO insist on turning cows and chickens
out TO commit depridations on the pro-
perty Of others have sought to dodge
the question by Indignantly asserting
that an effort was made to prevent
their keeping COWS. This is mis-
take. The only fight ever made was
TO require cows kept where they be-
long, on their owners premises. A
COW and chickens may be a great boon
to rlany people, but when they run at
large they become public pests. The
revolt against those we'll meaning citi-
zers has in the past not been very ag-
gressive, but if some relief is not az
forded those who find that high fences
and we'll locked gates are no protection
to their yards and flowers, they may
be forced to adopt the tactics an
nounced by one citizen who has a
l,aded gun ready for the first COW that
invades his ysri. Such tactics, how
ever, cannot be recommended, for
they seek to inflict punishment on on
innocent bovine, which would doubt
less remain at home and be good il il
were not for her owner. A great deal
of unplessautness might be avoided
by the much eOsier course of requiring
people to refrain from allowing Their
COWS and chickens to "go a-visiting.
