Henry Youtsey, who says since he
got into the penitentiary for life,
that he was in a conspiracy to kill
the late Senator Goebel. and who is
certainly self-confessed perjurer, If
nothing worse, is out in a diatribe
against former Governor Taylor, ask
ing why the latter doesn't return to
Kentucky now that he is certain
that Powers will have a fair trial. y
II was not generally known that a
fair trial for Powers is by any
means certain yet, as the matter Is
still in the courts. Youtsey indicates
that he himself. as much wrapped
up in the powers that be" in Ken
lucky as he has been since he found
himself life prisoner with no hope
of freedom except through the men
whose tool he has become, is not
certain that Powers is 20 have fair
trial. by the following eloquent r.
roration: 81 fail to see any comfort
for Powers in Judge Cochran's de-
cision, as nearly all the cases he
cites were remanded 10 the state
courts, but if he has the right of
freedom then the 1000 prisoners
here at Eddyville haze the right to
liberty, state courts should be
swept away, both penitentiaries raz-
ed to the ground, and penal insti-
tutions in Kentucky De thing of
the past" This indicates, besides,
that Youtsey is being kept pretty
well posted on court decisions by
someone. But why sh )u!i he COM
plain? He has got all that was COM
ing to him. If his own statements
are to be credited. and should be
satisfied.

would commend to them this

but oftentimes their selfshness
smacks of the "pennywise, pound

large way. What we need along with
a progressive spirit is a far-sighted
one. We need more men who real

REAL PROGRESSIVE SPIRIT.

The observations yesterday of
alexis" are worthy of earnest con-
sideration. Paducah does not desire,
and cannot afford to lag. We must
work. Nothing much comes to the
city whose people sit supinely by
and say of men, industries and insti-
buttons that desire to locate,
"Oh, If they want to come they'll
come, so what's the use in worry
ing?"
Paducah does not want to follow
In Cairo's footsteps. Down there re-
: Gently they had monster demon
stration in favor of Greater Cal
ro." Yesterdays Citizen says:
There is a firm conviction
fastening itself upon many cit
liens that the Greater Cairo
movement was all talk, indulg-
ed in for electioneering pur-
poses Events that don't trans
pire would seem to furnish rea-
sonable grounds for such sus-
picion. There is no desire to do
an Injustice to anyone-men's
intentions may have been good;
at that time they may have
thought they would do things"
but, there's another thought
coming, just at this juncture of
time. Good intentions" don't
improve a city. The road to
certain place is paved with that
kind of thing.
Many cities, especially the grow
ing ones, find in certain classes of |
citizens the greatest obstacles to |
growth and progress. Greensboro cites
an instance and the Messenger says:
Certain business men are at
tempting TO prevent the build
ing of union depot in Owens
boro. They are opposed to the
union station because it will re-
move the depot of the Illinois
Central from that part of the
city in which their business
houses are located. Persons GO
ing to and from trains will not
pass their doors, and thus a few
nickels that go into their tills
will be spent with other mer-
chants or remain in the pockets
OF the patrons of the railroad.
Their opposition is begotten of
self-interest a sentiment exist
ant in all humankind. Taking
into consideration the proneness
of men to sacrifice all things
else TO personal gain. 1t would
probably be harsh Judgment TO
condemn these men for wanting
all the trade they can get and
employing any legitimate means
OF securing or retaining it.
But there is a manner of sac
rifice of personal profits to the
general good. sometimes actu-
