WHY THIS SUIT.

The Democratic administration has
received another jolt in the solar
plexus in Peducah. The legislative
boards in their egotism, thought some
time ago that they were greater than
the state Legislature and passed and
attempted to enforce an ordinance
making a salary lower than the mini.
mum fixed for city jailer. Circuit
court now says the legislature fixed
$500 as the lowest salary, and the
general council can make it no lower.
Somehow these Democratic admins
trations in Paducah seem TO have poor
luck with their lawsuits. They lose
pest house cases, bond cases, injunc-
tion suits to keep the city from pro-
crossing, and now they are talking
about bringing a suit to test the
bond issue. Before the two boards
take any such action as authorizing
such a suit, why don't they save the
people, who in good faith have voted
the bonds, the delay and expense
necessary 10 bring and carry through
such suitY Why don't they ask some
compe tent lawyer who has no interest
in the matter if there is any necessity
or excuse for such proceeding and if
the court Of appeals has not already
passed on every question involved in
the bond issue? The people do not
want this delay. They will soon begin
to wonder what is behind this last
suit. They will wonder if it is an
other scheme of officials to grind some
sort Of an ak. IL it can be a scheme to
hang up indefinitely in the courts, or
to defe at, the bond issue-a scheme
conceived by some of those opposed to
it, something similar to the injunction
suit brought under the pretense of
testing questions involved, but in
reality for another purpose: If not,
what is il
II anyone doubts that everything
has been regularly and legally done in
connection with voting the bonds, who
is he: The people in general seem TO
be satisfied, and do not seem to take
well to the idea of bringing this suit.
They do not appear to be exactly salts
fed a. to the motives behind il. If
there are questions that the court of
appeals has not already passed ON,
why do not the members of the boards
inform the public just whsh things

is an example of the harmony which

eests what may be expected when a

1t is claimed that the Democratic
politicians of the state have been &C
customed to bleed various interests
regularly for the purpose Of STAYING
off hostile legislation, and that Gov
ernor Beckhnm has called halt and
advised whiskey and tobacco men to
refuse to DO bled. This discovery
seems to come late In the day. II the

The senate has passed the bill pro-
viding for a new circuit court district
up about Bresthitt. 1t is openly
charged, even by the leading demo.
cratic papers in Kentucky, that this is
principally TO give the Hargis faction
some reward for their party service,
and what the governor will do should
the bill become law, will be watched
with interest. IL is explained in one
democratic paper that the new dis
trict will remove from the Breathitt
circuit Mogoffin county, which is
about 800 republican, and thus make
the district safely democratic. " The
new district is not wanted by the
people, and will cost the state $4,000
extra without any advantages, the
amount OF litigation in the present
district being less than in many other
districts. Governor Beckham has long
been, according TO popular opinion,
against the rule of certain factions in
Breathitt county. If the bill creating
the new district passes, he must choose
which he will serve, the people of
Kentucky, or the democratic politi-
clans who demand the gerrymander
purely for pol iticsl purposes.
