Fine Showlnu.

The city has laid about thirty
thousand dollars worth Of cement
sidewalks. giving US the finest
sidewalks in the South, and with
all of the com pick cases which
the laying of the walks has i'm
posed. it is a gratifying fact TO
know that in no case has any
litigation resulted. The frs t
contract was for about fourteen
thousand dollars worth of walks
and the contract which Messrs.
Kelly & Pope are at present at
work on is for about this amount
This is public work and does not
include the thousands of dollars
put into private improvements,
adding to the attractiveness aud
beauty of the city resident sec
ton.
Tt is easy to account for this
showing With a realization Of
the greatadvantage of the cement
walks over the old system the
opposition which asserted itself
at first when the work was IN
dertaken passed away and II
nearly all instances property
holders are anxious for the city
to undertake the improvements.
When the present contract is
com pleted Columbus will have
one of the finest sidewalk sys-
TENS in the South adding fully a
hundred thousand dollars TO the
value of city realty.

Sanitary Inspection and Census.

Mayor Gunter has begun the
sanitary inspection of the city
assigning Officers Reeves aud
Morton to the work. The in
S p elton this year will be
thorough and complete and pro-
perty holders are urged to have
their premises cleaned and put
ia perfect sanitary condition
preparatory for the summer.
tits Mr.. Gunter s purpose and
intention to have a census of the
city taken by the inspectors as
they proceed with the work. They
will visit every house within the
extended corporate limits and
this will afford them a fine OPP
portunity to enumerate the pop
ulation of the city. In order to
make the census com plete it is
urged that property holders and
owners will cooperate with the
inspectors in every way possible
in giving them the information
requested and in facilitating their
work.
A census of the city is badly
needed and as no provision for
taking it has been made this
move is most commendable
The city has increased a hun
dred per cent in it's people since
the government census was taken
and it is desired to make this
showing in a most authoritative
and definite way. The census
which has been undertaken will
do it and the undertaking should
be cordially supported, as we
are sure it will be.

Two eases OF interest to Paducah-

against Jim Holloway, for years o

but the motion was overruled An
appeal was then taken and sentence
was suspended for sixty days pend
ing the settlement OF the case. Hol-
loway's attorney failed to prepare
his bill OF exception, etc. required
for the appeal and the time having
expired the old negro viii have TO

Their delay.
The other suit is that of John Fee
land against the Kitty league for
damages for throwing Hopklnsvilie
out OF the league last season. The
Hopkinsyllle papers say that the de-
PENDANT league made no defense, and
that the case will consequently be la
ken up at the February term OF court
and tried on its merits.
The suit will never amount TO any
thing. as what funds left belonging
to the league are in Illinois or Indi-
ana and cannot be brought into the
jurisdiction of this court.

No Lobby Needed.

The secretary Of the state
drainage league frankly an
nounces that his purpose in soil
citing money up and down the
state on the plea Of the needs of
the state in the way of drainage,
is to put part of such moneys
into his own pocket and the bal.
ance into a lobby to be maintain
ed at Washington to induce con
gress to appropriate money to
drain the reservation lands in
the state.
The Cass Lake Times in an
able editorial denounces any at
tempt to maintain a lobby at
Washington for this purpose and
justly remarks that this lis a
matter which our senators and
representatives ought to be able
to attend to without'the help of "a
paid lobby. The Duluth Herald.
in a recent editorial, also enlarges
upon the fact that such a lobby
is entirely unnecessary.
The state drainage league of
course needs money but not for
any such purpose. The chief good
which will result from the state
drainage league is the continued
agitation of the matter of drain
age. The meeting of the league
at Crookston was worth more to
the cause of drainage than all the
money that can be raised by the
league. It created all interest
in, and an enthusiasm for drain
age, whose value cannot be esti-
mated in dollars and cents.

Ing hours for railway employees all
over the country. The move already
has been discussed in the grand coun-
ellis of the organization It is expect

The grievance committees OF many
Western railroads will gather in Chi

the opportunity will be seized to
broach the proposed demands Of the
employees.
The present hours of work on the
railroads range from ten to fourteen,
but in no case are they fixed This is
due to the nature of the employment.
The brotherhoods, it is said, have no
intention of appealing for a limited
workday. They have planned rather
to seek general reduction which
shall be proportionate in all branches
of the railroad service.
