A IAuENTABLE TRAGEDY.

We regret very much that it be-
came necessary for Alderman Gus Sim
gleton to sacrifice himself ON the al
tar Of harmony, and thus afford 9
solution Of the aldermanio disargee-
ment. su,h heart-rending scenes as
that last evening when Alderman
Singleton made his eloquent speech
Offering himself as q martyr, and
agreeing to "sacrifice himself and
step out of the board" are calculat-
ed to bring a sch to the lips Of the
most csllous.
Certainly it was very kind Of Mr..
Singleton. The city needed him. He
should have been urged TO remain and
perhaps at some future tiwo an oppor-
tunity for a much greater sacrifice
would have offered itself, and the
public would have been the beneficiary
Of his magnanimous immolation.
But Alderman Singleton had but
three things to do. He must either
give up good position travelling, hold
his job as alderman and allow the
Republicans to have n majority in the
board every time he was out Of the
city, which might be every time
there was q meeting. or sacrifice
himself" by resigning so Boss Yeiser
could appoint some Democrat in his
place, who could be at all meetings
and thus even up the vote. Alder
man Singleton certainly made splen-
did sacrifice when he decided to hold
onto the Job that offered him live
lihood and give up that Of alderman,
which PAYS about 90 a MONTH He
certainly made q great sacrifice when
he gave up his position IN the board
so Boss Yeiser could put another
good man in his place and keep the
Republicans from having four votes
to the Democrats three when Alder
man Singleton was away. And more
than all, Alderman Singleton made q
great grsndstsnd play. Turn on tho
red lights and play us little slow
music, please

BALLooNINo As A CURE.

the condition persists for ten days

Some OF Camden's practical pol
iticians were talking Pennsylvania
politics the other evening on the
porch OF the West Jersey Hotel. and
the conversation naturally drifted into
a discussion Of the reform movements
that have marked the campaigns here
in recent years. One OF the group
said that Philadelphia's reformers al
ways reminded him of the village up-
pier whose wife, after trying for years
to cure him, felt impolled 10 cali In

NAMES FOR wARsHlPs.
France Has Adopted New System for
Its Navy.


While other countries in Europe are
combining themselves mostly to con-
ventional names for their ships OF
war, such as those of sovereigns, bat
ties, naval and military heroes, rivers
and cities, the French have struck
out in a new line. The new battle
ships building and about TO be laid
down in accordance with the restored
program OF 1900 are to receive names
suggestive of the principles OF the
revolution. Two. the battleships Re
publique and Patrie, are now In hand,
and four others OF the largest class,
to be named Democratic. Liberte, JUS
tice and Verite, are about to be COM
menced. Beside these. a number OF
powerful cruisers, some OF which are
already launched. are to be added to
the French navy. They are called
after illustrious statesmen and liter
airy men, the latter a most unusual
thing. They are the Leon Gambetta,

HARD.HEADED DEMOCRATS.

HARD.HEADED DEMOCRATS.
II will be gratifying to the people
in general Of Paducah 10 know that
the deadlock in the board Of alder
men is broken and the city is in a
position to resume its regular bust
ness. Il was broken through the
action of the four Republican mem.
bers, who agreed this morning to
the selection OF the president Of the
board by Mr.. T. J. Atkins.
The four Republican aldermen
could have held out indefinitely, as
they have enough votes to effectual-
" block any Of the schemes Of the
Democrats, but deeming IL best for
the interests Of the people and the
city, they decided to do what the
Democrats refused to do, put aside
politics and allow them to choose .
Democratic president. Ia. ..1. ~
The four Republican aldermen had
no desire to make the organization of
the board matter Of politics. At the
beginning they put in nomination one
of the four Republican for temporary
chairman, and the Democrats prompt
ly put up a Democrat against him,
thus proving that they were going to
make it strictly political affair.
and not allow one of the Republicans
to serve even as temporary chairman.
Then they "desdlocked. o."
The Democrats have tried numerous
schemes for making political capital
out of the aldermanic disagreement,
and have sought all along to make il
appear that the Republicans were
not anxious to settle the trouble, but
none of their ruses has fooled any
one.
This is Democratic administra.
tion, and Mayor Yeiser and his Demo
cratic colleagues are responsible fol
the success or the failure of the ad
ministrstion. This places the respon
sibility of it oil on the Democrats,
and the people can now see how
faithful they are to their trust
Simply because Of a small matter Of
politics they were willing to tie NJ
indefinitely the Observation-Disclosures
own administration, and one fol
which they must answer to the peo
ple-and allow the city and the peo
pie to suffer the consequences. The
Democrats Of Paducsh seem to regarC
politics of more importance than thu
interests Of the people, Of which they
were placed in charge last Novembei
Q year ago. Naturally the Republi
cans could have ended the deadlock
but the Democrats started tn,
trouble, and IL is not a Republican
administration that the Republican
should be worried over the outcome o
an indefinite middle or exert any NOR,
effort to straighten things out, thai
the democratic administration itself
The Democrats were able at an,
time to end the trouble and star
their administration going agaii
but they didn't want to. The peopl
can clearly see that 1t remained TO
the Republicans to agree to the cleo
tion OF Democrat to the position o
president of the board Of aldermen
whom the Democrats couldn't hay'
elected until doomsday without tb'
consent of the Republicans, in orde
TO restore the city's equanimity
The Democrats would probably b.
willing for the city to BIO tied NJ
indefinitely, no matter what happen
