LOCAL sELF-GovERNMENT.

How does Bryan's cry for local
self-government comport with the ac-
tion of the state legislature in dictat-
ing to the citizens of Paducah how
many policemen they must employ in
patroling the streets of the city?
1t strikes one as strange that bevy
of politicians from Lexington. New
port and Covington can go to Frank
fort and by the aid of a legislature,
only two members of which are from
McCracken county, and small mi
nority of whom live within 100 miles
of this city. secure legislation apple
able specifically to the people of Pa
ducah. We elect members of the
general council. to whom we delegate
authority to determine how many
policemen we need, and we support
our own city government Yet a
state general assembly without the
slightest expert knowledge on the
subject, not only will dictate to the
>ite' but Will oNtiI4ut Tue Will Oh tnG
general council elected and invested
with full power TO determine the
city's needs, and this after that same
general council has made provisions
for the pay of a number less than
the legislature prescribes. 1t is too
late to argue the specific point of po-
lice control, but the principle Is just
as obnoxious now as it was eight
months ago. Cities of the second
class have a charter but It is a thing
Of loose CONSTRUCTION, liable to legis7
lative tinksrine at every session Of
the general assembly, and conserva-
tive, economical Padueah always gets
the worst OF it from such hotbeds of
graft as the other three cities COM
posing the second class. Cities should
have fundamental body of laws,
not subject to change at the mere
within of a party majority, and unless
something is soon done to remedy
this dangerous condition unwilling
Paducah will be dragged into extrav-
agance or made the creature of fac
tional state politics to her utter detri-
ynent by some future legislature.

A GYPSY NEEDING.

Were you ever at Gypsy we'd

are welcome, even the hated gringo,
IL he brings plenty of silver coins to
exchange for weak, red wine in
which to drink the brides health.
Outside the marriage tent a solemn
company of men and women, brave
in Gypsy finery of scarlet shawls and
brilliant handkerchiefs. are dancing
in the mud, their hands interlaced
after the fashion of children playing
ring-around-the rosy. These are the
brides kinspeople. The parents OF
the groom stand apart before their
tent apparently unconscious that a
wedding is in progress.
Lift the tent-fiap and you will see
a GURUS sight. On the floor is spread
a red-barred table-clotn and on 1t IS
meat and wine and many Romany
delicacies. A merry erowd OF young

be permitted TO be given. BY order
of the mayor. in view OF the race

to let 1.-THE Clansman" be given
Steps will be taken. II is said, IA
keep the show out of the theaters
of Georgia. The public is not favora.
BILE to its second appearance.
The Macon authorities are wise
Mr.. Dixon's flamboyant play is of no
true value in a historic or literary
sense. and its presentation serves on
ly TO revive animosties and strength
ems prejudices that ought to sleep.
The advantage of the south lies In
preserving good feeling between this
and other sections of the union, and
also peace between the races. Dix
on's play begets feelings that are in
imical to both. Let the historians at
tend to the dead past; II is their
work, and IT will in time be faithful
ly done. The south Of today should
look to the present and the future
and TO that end ii is not wholesome
that public emotion should be stir
red by fiery melodramas that rehash
with vivid and exaggerated colors
the worst features of the reconstruct
ton era Nashville Banner.

Dear Sir: At your request
herewith furnish you the copy OF the

ment, desire to say In your behalf

with a summons in this case she was
duly notified to appear and make de
tense to the suit. II she had any de
Tense and there is a copy of such. no
tee given her Ia my office. The re-
turn OF the officer shows that there
was a personal service had upon her
She did not want to make any de
Tense and did not make any. The pc.
tition In the case flied showed every.
thing that was bought by Miss Nor
gan and was either verified by your.
self. or your r'brother = Nolan. The
Judgment was correctly rendered
and there was no advantage taken OF
the defendant by you. Afterwards
In this year the wages OF Miss Nor

upon the theory that 1t would BE-
against public policy TO attach the
wages OF teacher In the publis

by me upon that ground and that
alone. II was never held nor said by
me. nor claimed by the attorneys OF
Miss Morgan nor by Miss Morgan
herself. that the judgment was an
unjust one. The contrary was true,

say II any one attempts to criticlse
you by reason OF your aud your
