Interesting Notes From Our Special
Political Correspondent.


tention to the fact that although
President Garrett criticises Indian
inspectors for staying at Indian
agents houses, Mr.. CARROTS
special agent, Rrosius, accepted
the hospitality of Inspector j.
George Wright when making his
recent investigation, and then cast
1mputations on Wright's honesty.
Secretary Hay is letting it be
known that unless Colombia comes
to her senses and ratifies the canal
treaty serious results are likely to
follow.
Postmaster General Payne de-
parted so seriously from President
Roosevelt's policy in dismissing
Postmistress Hulda Todd, that it
is freely predicted there will soon
be vacancy in the cabinet.
President Roosevelt has an
nounced his intention to administer
the consular service on business
principles. His intention will
command the respect of every
business man in the country.
It is expected that the president
will instruct that typesetting ma
chimes be installed in the Govern
ment printing office. The whole
trend of the present administra-
ton is to conduct the affairs of
the government on up-to-date
economical business methods.
Secretary Shaw has devised a
scheme whereby he will be able
to obviate a scarcity of currency
which would have otherwise been
caused by the demand for money
to move the crops.
It is a pity, but it is none the
less true, that there is no ad
ministration without it's portion
of graft" and scandal, but never
was an administration which laid
the axe to the root of it's scandals
with the energy displayed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
An Indiana woman is suing her
eighteenth husband for divorce.
Apparently the divorce habit is as
dangerous as the tobacco or the
cocaine habit. Wise women will
take precautions to avoid contract
ingit.
Please speak softly about the
possibility of failure of the Panama
canal. In the bright lexicon OF
the new world there is no such
word as failure; we'll dig the ditch.
Tom Johnson has placed the
Ohio democrats in a sad plight.
They must vote the republican
ticket this fall or encourage Bryan
ism.
Explorer Peary has just received

Mrs. Carrie Nation threatens to
go on the stage. Wont somebody
ak her not to?
President Castro seems bound
to get into trouble. 1t is now re-
ported that he has developed a
pleasing habit of throwing for
eigners with claims against the
government into Jail.
A public office may be a public
trust but that does not mean that
a public official has the right to
take stock in every trust company
that comes this way
Mr.. Carnegie in saying England
and the United States are to be
one, has won some very severe
press criticisms. However from
diatribe to eulogy is but step.
Nine. Hunt, president of the

Prophet Dowie has rule which
reads, ''Do not talk about things you
know nothing about. A strict

What Senator Clay of Georgia
thinks about Mr.. Bryan would melt
the types. What the senator says
about the peerless leper" is quite
sufficient to blister the cuticle.
European nations go right on
extending the canal systems within
their borders because water trans
portation has demonstrated that it
is economical. The only reason
canal construction in this country is
so seriously hampered is because the
railways fear the water competition.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow continues his silent
pursuit of the Postof1ce ''grafters"
and every once in a while brings in
big bag. Incidentally Mr.. Bristow
is daily demonstrating his
qualifications for the position of
postmaster general. which is certain
to be vacant in the near future.
The corn crop promises to exceed

the men, their wives and children,
who, while not of their union, were
trying to earn their bread,
Why are the transcontinental
railroads maintaining an
extravaganza and expensive lobby in
Bogota, charged with defeating the
Panama canal treaty? Because the
roads are aware that once the
isthmian canal is completed they will
be compelled, by the competition of
water freight carriers, to lower
their own freight rates.
New York democrats who are
inclined to abandon the fusion
municipal ticket because it is
headed by republican, should re-
fleet what a benefit it would be to
the republicans to be able to hold up
a Tammany administration as an
object-lesson during the presidential
campaign.
Germany is planning another
great canal. 1t will connect the
Rhine, the Elba and the Weser.
A New York tobacconist declares

that the new administration will do
better than we said il would.

Some Of the rabid southern papers
that hope As last resort to make the
race question an issue in next years
presidential campaign, are grossly
disappearing every trivial incident
at Washington that they hope will fan
the flames of prejudice. The reception
rendered the officers and crews on two
American ships by President Roose-
welt. when he simply had buffet lunch
served to them, after he had welcomed
them and retired, is made the subject
of the usual partisan misrepresenta-
ton and villifcation. but all good peo-
pie who read the facts, instead Of gar
bed and colored reports, will readily
SEQ through such public actions and
pay no attention to them.

OYSTERS ARE VERY SCARCE THIS YEAR

The lovers of oysters should eat
their share at once, for they are liable
to find the luscious bivalves scarce and
at . high price in short time. Local
dealers are in fear that there will be .
great decrease in the quantity Of oys-
tiers sent here this season. and are pre-.
dieting that the supply will not be
large enough to meet the demand Of
the people.
The reason for the scarcity is that

TIE ELECTION.

The Democrats seem to have held
an election in Kentucky and Paducah
yesterday. The result shows that cleo
tions cannot be accurately forecast,
and as 1t could not be told how yester-
days election was going, it cannot be
told today how it might have gone I'M.
der different circumstances, so it is fu-
tile to guess. So far as We are now
able to learn, the people have spoken,
and the people should rule.
In Paducah the people have presum-
ably elected the men Of their choice,
and il the majority can stand it, the
minority will apparently have to stand
1t. 1t cannot be said that the people
have gone into four years Of this Dem.
ocratio rule with their eyes shut. II
they did not know what they were do
ing, there is no excuse for 1t. They
were told what was possible and prob
able and il the predictions do not come
true. it will DO all the better for the
people. If Paducah does not progress
as she should, the people who spoke
yesterday can blame no one but them
selves.
The showing of the Republicans is
eminently satisfactory. They had out
good men for the offices and are proud
of their ticket, and of the showing il
made. The defeat was by very mar
row margin and despite the votes that
went to the independents. The Dem
ocratic ticket fell nearly 1000 votes
short OF the registration, while the Re-
publican vote fell short of the regis
tration by only about half as much
The Sun has made its fight and the
Republicans Of Paducah have made
their fight. We tip our hats to the
winners and can truthfully say that
they have done something. With two
newspapers that were opposed to them
and two others that were not very
strong for them, and a record that is
a corker, they managed TO COME out
ahead anyhow. We congratulate them,
and say again that they have done
something. The Sun trusts that the
many things predicted for them by
their political opponents will not come
to pass. Politics IS an unplessant
thing before election, but We believe
We can ell now set politics aside ana
pull together for the good OF Paducah

A wOMAN's COMPLEXION.

1t is rank foolishness TO attempt to
remove sallowness or grei isness OF the
skin by the use Of cosmetics, or
local" treatment as advocated by
the beauty doctors" The only safe
and sure way that woman can i'm
prove her complexion is by purifying
and enriching the blood, which can
only be accomplished by keeping the
liver healthy and active. The liver is
the seat Of disease and blood pollution.
Green's August Flower acts directly
on the liver, cleanses and enriohes the
blood, purifes the complexion. 1t
also cures constipation, biliousness,
nervousness, and induces refreshing
sleep. A single bottle of August
Flower has been known to cure the
most pronounced and distressing cases
of dyspepsia ana indigestion. New
trial size bottle, 25 cents; regular
size, rs cents. At all druggists.
