STATUS OF THE WAR.

Russia. on account of the loss of
prestige it would entail, cannot afford
to sue for peace, and Japan does not
want to. Therefore talk of o cessa.
tion Of hostilities in the far east seems
foolish. Without regard to sentiment,
the cold fact remains that past events
Of the war cannot be taken as q fair
criterion of either the resources Of
the opposing nations, or as an indica-
tion of the ultimate result of the war.
Japan has put in some Etelling blows.
and doubtless realizes the necessity Of
it. Both armies are composed of cour.
ageous fighters who are armed with
modern implements of destruction,
and the warships are of the most i'm
proved pattern. The losses thus far
on either side have been Insignificant
compared with the immense armies
and the array Of floating armament Of
either nation. The war is yet young.
Ii 10 not safe to bet on either side yet
A seemingly fair and sensible view of
the war is thus taken by the Youths
Companion. OF Boston:
No ono is looking for an early close
of the war between Japan and Russia.
1t may last two years, or some de-
oisive victory ON land or sea may bring
it to an end sooner. Although there
has been considerable gossip in the
foreign dispatches about the possible
intervention of King Edward and
others on behalf of peace, few well in.
formed persons expect intervention
unless China should be drawn into the
conflict.
Russia has been moving slowly.
feeling confident that the japanese
advance on land nan be delayed till
sufficient Russian troops have been
assembled in Manchuria to defeat the
Invading army in pitched battle. |
What purport to be the Russian plans
have been disclosed In an interview
with . Moscow friend Of General
,Kuropatkin, published in Paris. The |
correspondent who obtained the inter
view declares that it contains the
views of the commanding general
Whether this bs correct or not, it con-

Mayor Yeiser states in reply to The
Suns article yesterday that tine charter
does not say that there must be uni
formity of material in constructing
streets and sidewalks. In the strict
sense Of the word 1t does not, but it does
say that city must establish . uni
form system for street improvements,
which means the same thing, or at
least that is the only reasonable con
struction that can be placed on it. The
charter evidently contemplated that
such a system should be established,
but it hasn't been established in Pa.
duoah. This, it is claimed, makes the
ordinance invalid. At any rate,
whether the law is plain or not, it is
the conviction of the Sun that the tax.
payers do not want, the charter does
not permit, ana the spirit of the law
does not contemplate, the building of
sidewalks in the most important part
of the city from either brick or con-
crete, as the property owner may
elect. 1t is not permitted or done
elsewhere, and will be a reflection on
the intelligence and progressiveness
of Paducah city officials If they per-

School Board Desires to Make
Selections Then.
The Object is to Give the Unsuccessful
Time to Apply Elsewhere for
Positions.
CALLED MEETING THURSDAY

The school board will meet in spc-
cisl session Thursday night to let a
contract for the publication of the re-
vised rules, and at this meeting it is
probable that the board will elect
principals. Il
Yesterday afternoon the committee
on schools met and decided to recon-
mend to the board at the Thursday
meeting that principals be elected that
night. All applicants for these posi-
lions have been notified Of this action
and are instructed to take the proper
steps to place their applications be-
fore the board. IL is expected lhere
will be several applicants for more
than one Of the schools. the object is
to give the unsuccessful ones q chance
to apply for other positions.
The committee on finance will prob
ably be instructed to confer with the
finance committee of the joint munich
pal board relative to the sale of the
school property at Fifth and Kentucky
avenue, the meeting to be held at the
convenience of the city committee.
This will probably be the extent Of
the board business as nothing else of
importance will be recommended.

that Paducah has reinstated the bonds,

Why didn't the city find out about
this sanitary officer business several
weeks ago, before two officers were
elected? 1t seems that its lucid in
vervals are uncertain, If not few and

is empty, thus dispensing with one

Aside from the propriety of a nan
from the pest house visiting divers

the mayor might have suggested this
scheme before any appointments were
made. The change, II the board of

GRAND SALE OF LOTS.

The Northview Realty and Improve
ment company has about 20 lots on
18th and 18th streets, in Paducah,
Ky, which it will offer for PUBLIC
SALE most reasonable terms, in
JUNE NEXT. unless sold before that
time. These lots are situated in Pa
ducah, KY, and lie between Rottger.
ing's farm and the city.
The streets have been lately gravel
ed. The lots have beautiful shade
trees on them, and lie high above the
streets.
An ordinance has been adopted TO
extend 18th street on beyond this
property to Rowlandtown, and the
street car company will extend its
line from Trimble street on down 18th
street by this property to Rowland
town.
This property is certainly most at
tractive and desirable, and will soon
be built up. There are no lots in
the suburbs of Paducah more d esira
vie for homes. The adjacent property
is being rapidly improved, many
houses having been erected recently.
