There seems to be one tie that binds
New York's judicial candidate for the
Presidency and the Democratic candi-
date for governor OF New York-they
both voted for free silver in 1896 and
1900. Neither of them apparently would
have conscientious scruples about voting
for yellow dog provided he had the
regular emblem Of his party branded on
both ears and wagged his tail without
the consent OF any other nation.

Judge Parker, judging from his con-
duct and the company he has kept,
stands for Hilism in politics, which
means that any INSCRIPTIONS act is JUS
tiiiable if the end be gained. He is the
very opposite of President Roosevelt, for
his evasiveness shows that he lacks
courage and decisiveness-two requisites
that should not be found wanting in
aspirants for the Presidency.

$ from 1893 to 1908, inclusive:

The Democratic depression OF 1898
and 1894. to which the campaign book
inadvertently directs attention. was
marked by a falling off in deposits OF
over $37 100000 in one year. Between
1898 and 1908 the average due each
depositor increased from $500 TO SALT.
More significant than the increase in
deposits is the fact that in 1908 there
were 2.474,629 absolutely new savings
bank depositors in the United States,
marking an increase OF nearly so per
cent. during period when the total
population only increased "a per cent.

Boiler Makers in Paducah Con-
tinue on a Strike.
A General Strike Is Feared In Case
the Company Attempts to
Work Non Union Men.
ARE NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS

The strike of local boilermakers of
the Illinois Central assumed its most
serious phase this morning when the
strikers failed to return to work,
within the time specified in the COM
pany's ultimatum. According to the
statement In the circular, the men
are no longer in the employ of the
road, and any attempt to install non
union men in their places may pre-
cipitate strike involving the entire
shop forces.
Thus far none of the other union
men in the shops have taken any
steps to 90 out on q sympathetic
strike, and il IL not believed they
will. In case non union labor is
placed in the shops, however, differ
emit question will arise and there is .
p possibility that the men will all quit
work.
1t is understood that the boiler
makers at East st. Louis and Louis
Vile, and possibly ct other places
have returned to work.
The local strikers elected to obey
the executive committee Of their
union in preference to the president.
who says that the strike was not au-
tnorized. The executive committee
called the strike, and although the
president of the national union says
1t was unauthorized and contrary to
the agreement to give the railroad
thirty days notice, some Of the
boilermakers are sticking to the ex-
ecutive committee, and claim that its
authority 10 paramount to that of the
president.
Everything hiss been quiet and CT
derby in Paduoah since the strike be-
gan, and Assistant General Manager
q. @. MoCourt is still here, and ex-
poets to remain until Saturday.
AS the company cannot well get
along without boilermakers, it will
now doubtless begin looking around
for men to take the places Of the
strikers.
The people Of Paduoah are very
much interested in the strike. az the
shutting down of the shops here
would mean withdrawal from circu-
lation of about 600. 600 . month and
would be felt by the entire city.
The boilermakers here make no
statement except that they are obey
ing the order of their executive CON-
mittee, have no i'll feeling towards
anyone, and have remained off the
railroads property except when called
in conference.

The market house proposition is one

was decided by the board of aldermen
not to build 1t this year, but the

cuse given that the butchers didn't
want it built until spring, but some
OF the councilmen say that the new
market house ism t being built for the
benefit of the butchers, but for the
public. and the public wants it az
soon ~ possible. AS the city will
have the money as soon as the bonds
are ficated, and has the site and sew.
eral months in this year in which to
build 1t, they want it built.
The character of the new market
house is causing officials oonsiderab d
reflection. We don't want two
story building for q market house. -
remarked an official today. "People
who have travelled and seen the mar
ket houses in other cities realize that
the finest and most seviceable market
places in the world are not two story.
They are largely truss sheds on con.
crete foundation with concrete floors.
They can be protected by doors in
cold weather and opened up entirely
on all sides In warm weather, and
think that q shed-like structure is
what Paduoah needs. 1t would cost
perhaps $40, 900, but would be exactly
what we want, instead of a two story
