will have to do something to favor
the batter before next season opens.
An attempt was made TO do this last
spring. when orders were issued
which handicapped the pitchers as to
their position. but il has not had any
effect, Is the averages show. Batting
is one Of the most attractive features
of the game and the lawmakers
should do something TO encourage 1t.
What to do is another question. There
are several ways in which it can be
done. One is a modification Of the
foul-strike rule. Another is TO change
the number of balls allowed before the
batter takes his base from four to
three. The question is how to get
more clean batting without delaying
the game or making it slow, and the
one who can solve the problem will
be entitled to u vote Of thanks from
the patrons of the national game.

Death List Shows An Increase While
the Fire Loss Is Very
Light.
NOT MUCH BUILDING DOING

During the month of September the
fire departments had only four runs and
the total amount of damage amounts to
no more than $500.
This is the lightest month we have
had in two years. Chief Woods stated
this morning. and don't understand il
unless we have scared the god of fire
away from the city. The first run we
had was on the lst, to Ed. Eaker's sta
BILE. Little damage was done, and the
next was on the eth, when We went to
the Fraternity building to put out papel
in the boiler room. The next was to the
Paducah Cooperage Co. on the 10Th
where fire in the dry room was discov-
cred. Little damage was done here, and
the last fire we made was the stable
of Pat Lally on the 9th. Yes, this is
the lightest month we have experienced
in two years and am glad the fires are
few and far between"

DEMOCRACY'S HOBBY.
The Party's UnqucnchabIe Zeal in
Behalf of ''RefOrm.''

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The following taken from the after
noon Democratic organ:
1.-The Republicans in Congress emphatic
ally assert that they do not intend to re-
form, revise or do anything else with the
tariff"
If not reformers, then our Democratic
friends are nothing They are professional
reformers. They pray for reform as often
as a Mohammedan prays TO his deity, but
always with their faces toward Washing
ton. When out of power they are particu-
larly anxious about the matter. They are
cocksure that the country is on the direct
road to ruin The President is about to
destroy not only the revered Constitution
of our fathers, but the glorious old Dec
laration of Independence as WE'LL Every
nothing but the combined wisdom of Judge
Parker David b. Hill and Tom Taggart
Will be able to save u.s. Providence APP
pears TO raise up great and good men for
ever knew of the Democratic party reform
ing anything? Fifty years ago they were
making almost frantic efforts TO reform
the Constitution that slaves could be
carried not only into free territory, but
also into the free States.
Later on they were clamorous for reform
in Lincolns administration, and in the
conduct of the war. General Grant also
needed reforming They were not only re-
formers during the CIVIL war, out continued
the business with renewed activity after IL
was over. Their first great effort was to
reform the currency. Now If there is any
particular place where the Democratic pol
itician appears in all his glory it is a
currency reformer. To him the money
question is dead easy III he could have
his way he would make everybody rich in
a few minutes, If the printing press could
not turn out enough TO satisfy our wants
he could set the minis to work coming 30
cent dollars and absolutely weigh us down
with wealth. John Law could not hold a
candle TO our average Democratic currency
reformcr. Their chief desire was to pay
of the ''bloated bondholders in deprecated
paper money, and the greater the deprecia-
ton the better. Did not the bondholder
furnish the money to put down the rebel
lion? This was a good way TO punish him.
They are always wanting 10 tinker with
the tariff" Whenever Democratic poll
ticians are a little short on issues they
come out strong for tariff reform.
LII is their favorite hobby, and they ride
il with all the gusto of small boy on his
wooden horse Now what do thex NEAR
by tariff reform?" Simply tariff reduc-
ton; nothing more and nothing less. TIC

Following in less than a week the death
of Colonel William A. Turk, passenger
traffic manager of the Southern Railway,
came the death of Captain William III.
Green, assistant to the general manager of
the Southern. The two were the best
known passenger men in the Southern
States worked alongside of one another
for twenty-five years. and were considered
two OF the strongest men in the official
FAMILY OF the Southern Railway, having
devoted their lives to the work of build
ing up transportation facilities in the
South. Colonel Turk was buried a few
days ago at Raleigh, n. c., and practically
the whole population Of that city attended
his funeral. Captain Green's remains and
the funeral party left Washington on Mon
day by the Washington Southern Railway
for Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, Va,
where interment was made. Captain Green
was sixty-five years old, had been in fail
ing health for four years, and had an un-
broken railroad record of over fifty years,
having worked his way from Office boy in
the shops to general manager OF the
Southern road. Colonel Turk was fifty
three years old and had been engaged in
railroad business in the South since his
earlV manhood.

-Representatlve Sales.

Cattle.-The supply of cattle sale to-
day was comparatively small, and all the
different grades were not represented The
general demand was not liberal as at
the close OF last week and a few of the
principal buyers were practically out of the
market for certain kinds of cattle. At the
start there was very good request from
most dealers for the good cows and heifers,
which sold in most cases about as high as
a the close of last week. There were a
few dealers, however, who believed all of
their sales were 15c under last Friday.
There being less variety and smaller sup
ply than at the close of last week II Is of
course difficult to make an accurate COM
pariSCI. but from representative prices the
market for the good COWS and heiferS to-
day appears to be very little, If any lower
that some of the less desirable grades did
not sell high, but of course there is
really no we'll defined market for that class.
There was very little competition in the
steer market, but the supply hardly
large enough to be attractive 10 all buy
ers. and there was rather a scarcity of the
thick fat kinds 1t was more less diff
ficult 10 find an outlet for the supply and
the market generally was quoted steady
compared with yesterday, or IoQl5c lower
than the close OF last week. The bull mar
ut steady prices There is very limited
request for feeding stock either from pro-
fessiOnal or country buyers and hardly
enough business is being transacted to es-
tablish prices, but the tendency seems to
be weaker Late to-day the market was
rather quiet in all departments, and it is
possible that statesmen had to accept a
shade easier prices for the late arrivals.
