THE DONKEY's PROBLEM.

Not a very optimistic view of de-
mocracy's prospects is taken by Col
lier's Weekly, of New York, which in
its last issue observes.
1.-The donkey has a problem that is
by no respects an easy one. What
shall he do to regain the confidence
which the party was wont to inspire
in the days before its demeanor led
the great cartoonist Mast to identify
the organization with the jackass?
In those eastern democrats who are
in every essential like republicans
there lies no hope. In a man like
Bryan, however truly he represents
the democratic mood, we fear there
lies no hope. because his mind works
inaccurately. He can not seem to at
tack abuse without attacking safe
guards. He seeks to diminish the
just powers of money by making
money bad instead of good. by MAX
ing 1t unstable instead of fair and
steady. He seeks to introduce his
policies, not only by the just method
of legislation, but by electing judges
on political grounds and shortening
their terms, which is a sure way of
making politics count more and law
less. He is a fuzzy-headed man, al
though a man of magnetism. power.
and purpose. When he has an issue
at once reasonable and moral he is
very strong. During the convention
a. st. Louis, Chairman Head of Ten
nessee, argued that the Hopkins del
egstes should be seated from ILL
nois, because, although they were
fraudulently elected, none of the del
egates could stand the searchlight to
which the Illinois men were being
subjected. Mr.. Bryan's reply to that
weakly dishonest attitude, and his
whole conduct during the convention.
was a relief from the cheap medioc-
rity OF many OF the democratic lead
ers. 1t was leagues above the Hills.
Belmonts, and McCarrens who final
ly prevailed, and who divided author
ity during the campaign with a few
newspapers which circulated in Judge
Parker's neighborhood. What is
needed by the democracy is man as
enthusiastic and magnetic as Mr..
L.. n
of the need of changes, with a great
deal clearer head. We fear that Mr..
Bryan is incapable Of learning any
thing. The man who shall take his
place as leader Of the real democrats
the democrats who differ from re-
publicans-can have little to do with
personal adventurers like Hearst or
cranks OF the kind led by Watson.

TO PASS ON POWERS CASE.

The court of appeals is soon to
pass on the Caleb Powers case. 1t
is likely that the honorable court. in
view of the travesties of justice
known as the trials" of this perse-
cuted young man, will again reverse
the findings of the lower court. and
order a new trial. The country is
now well aware Of the manner in
which Caleb Powers was sentenced
to his death, and Kentucky cannot
afford to-and we believe will not
allow herself to go on record as sane
tioning such a miscarriage OF justice.
We believe Caleb Powers will some
day get a fair trial. He has never
had one yet but he would now stand
better chance of getting one than
ever before.

MADE A HIT.

President Roosevelt made a grea
hit with the German press in hi
speech last week on the unwilling o.
the Frederick the Great statue. Tn,
president always makes a favorable
impression with those who give hin
a fair and unbiased hearing. but the
tone of the German press over hi,
latest speech is most pleasing to the
people of country that has so many
Germans among its best citizens, as
we have.
The semi-oficial German Gazette
which may be taken in this instance
as representing general opinion,
says:
I'm Germany the celebration and
particularly President Roosevelt s
address will leave a lasting impress
sion. The profound insight with
which the president as historian did
justice to the personality OF the great
king and general and described his
heroic and unwearied self-sacrifice
for a great political idea fills us in
Germany with warm sympathy. We
fully understand the position the
president as a clear-minded states
man assigns to the United States in
its political relationship to various
European nations whose emigrants
for three centuries have found a
home beyond the ocean and there
have been blended into one indivisi-
Bile whole, which as a thoroughly spe-
clfic individuality is making itself
felt more and more on the worlds
stage.
"Our people and the American ma
lion are really not rivals. On the
other hand they supplement each
other in more than one salutary di-
-ection. II MISUNDERSTANDING have
occurred here and there 1t is salts
factory TO record that the clouds
which formerly obscured good rela-
ions between the two great peoples |
lave been dissipated."

The board of works is soon to take
up the city light plant question. The
city of Paducah has always had in
ferior and inadequate street lights,
and has them still. They have cost
great deal of money, last year
each OF the 157 street lights costing
over 500 for the year. Yet these
lights a great part of the time were
run on the moonlight schedule" a
plan worthy of only a mossback ad-
ministration, and there has always.
ever since the plant was first started,
been complaint OF Paducah's misera-
BILE lighting facilities. 1t is under
stood that Paducah can get more
lights and better lights for a great
deal less money than the city is now
paying, by having them furnished I'M
der private contract. IL this is true.
IL is to the interest of the people that
the board of public works instead OF
trying to devise some plan for sink
ing $4,000 or more into what is al
ready a failure. make an investlga-

tory street lights. There may be OPP
