REFORM AND REGULAR
BOTH FACTIONS IN PENNSYLVA-
MIA CLAIMING ADVANTAGE.

The heavy registration in Philadelphia
last Saturday is a bone Of contention be-
tween the Lncolnites and the republicans
Inc former claim that this unusual regis
-tratioH, which exceeded 1900 presages
victory for the city or reform party. They
declare that leaders OF the regular republi-
can organization have constantly asserted
that the registration would not exceed &c.
wv. They claim that the registration shows
that the reform forces will be out and that
they will prove victorious on election day.
The organization leaders declare that such
an Interpretation Of the registration Is I'M
warranted and that they have nothing to
fear from a heavy vote; that, in fact, they
feel more safe with such large body of
voters.
They are also laying much stress upon
the fact that while the President himself
was careful to avoid any reference that in
the slightest degree might be Interpreted
as taking a side In the state fight, party
leaders coming into the state show by their
speeches that they have no faith in any
democratic control Senator P. C. Knox
gave out an interview in Philadelphia yes
terday in which ne declared:
Il believe that Edwin S. Stuart and the
entire republican state ticket will be elect
ed and that strong republican congress
sional delegation will also be chosen in this
state at the coming election.
Il shall do everything in my power to
contribute to that result"
Constituting His Words.
AS Senator Knox frequently sees the
President the republican leaders are en-
deavoring to have his remarks accepted as
in some degree voicing the wishes of the
President. But as the President had
chance at Harrisburg to come out in Ian
guage similar to that of Mr.. Knox. but
did not, the Lincolnites declare that no sig
nifcance attaches to Mr.. Knox's state
ment beyond indicating his own views.
Secretary Shaw, speaking at Pittsburg
last night. stated that he did not propose
to interfere in the local political contest in
Pennsylvania, and proceeded to address
himself 70 the need of placing the repub-
lcan party in power as of greater import
ance than the mere placing of any set of
politicians in office. He went on to ex-
pound his idea that the important thing is
the party, and not the politicians who go
before the people for their votes. The
whole tenor of the speech was in favor of
party regularity. the logical result of
which the republicans of Pennsylvania de-
clare fayors a vote for the regular nomi-
nees OF the party in that state. Secretary
Shaw is to make a couple more speeches
in the state.
Preparations have been completed for
wind-up of the Pennsylvania campaign in
Philadelphia. During the last days Of the
campaign all the important speakers in the
state will be centered in the Quaker city.

ALL QUIET IN HAVAN A
WHITE WINGED PEACE HAS
SETTLED OVER CUBA.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
HAVANA. October 16-All is quiet to-
day throughout the island. At Pinar del
Rio the liberals are complaining against
the mayor and the provincial governor
and some complaints are being made in
Havana against certain of the native Off
Gals. but these are not likely to lead to
any trouble. Governor Magoon is handling
carefully the matter of the personnel Of
the offices.
General Bell has asked that one more
battalion of engineers be sent to Cuba for
a general survey of the island. He con-
templates making a new military map of
Cuba. The one that was made while Gen.
eral Wood was in command was a good
one, but already it is obsolete on account
Of construction of new roads and the build
ing of new towns. AS soon as all the
troops have been distributed to their al
lotted stations General Bell will make
trip all over the island. General Alejando
Rodriguez will accompany him.

Independent of all parties" said Cali
fornian in town today. but we have a man
out Oakland way who is that rare example.
He is A. X. Grim, who has served two
terms as county recorder and now is a
candidate and the only one in the field for
a third term The first time he ran he had
the nomination of no party-he was running
on his record in the community and won.
The second time he was the nominee Of the
democratic and union labor parties and OPP
posed by the republicans. He won again.
This year he is the candidate of the re-
publican, union labor and democratic par
ties and of course viii win again. And all
this time he has been anything but mug
wump or a neutral. He is a rock-ribbed
republican and stands up for his party,
which makes it all the more creditable to
him that he received the nomination of op-
posing political organizations"

that the efforts of the police to put stop
to the disturbance were commendable. but
that with reason, Kelley was under the be-
lief that his arrest was Illegal and under
the circumstances the resistance which he
offered was not Of undue violence.

this our people do not complain.
They pay that tax as cheerfully as
they pay the taxes for their own city
government. This city pays ten
cents on the property for county pur-
poses. Then it pays fifty cents for
roads and bridges, all of which goes
out of the city. In short this city
pays near $4,000 each year for

which goes out of the city, and yet

Of said Offices. and to prescribe the
terms and duties thereof, as may be
needed to effect the corporate pur-
noses"
- Ii is inferred from this charter
provision that all city Offices not pro-
vided for in the charter were abol-
ished when the city went into the
second class, and 1t became neces-
sary, under this plain provision, to
enact ordinances re-creating them.
Among the offices not expressly
provided for In the charter are city
physician, wharfmaster, city weigher,
license inspector, sewer inspector and
milk and meat inspector. II is held
that when Paducah went into the
second class, these offices were abol-
ished when the terms then being
served expired. In order to continue
them 1t became necessary, under the
provision above, to recreate them by
passage of ordinances.
Whether or not this was done is
the question that is now before the
local boards. There are ordinances
recreating the offices of sewer in
spector, license inspector and mar
ket master, but no ordinances can be
found creating or recreating the
others, except that of milk and meat
inspector. which was created subse-
quent to Paducah's going into the
second class.
IL ordinances recreating the Offices
were not passed. there are now no
such Offices, and the incumbents have
no right to hold them and draw sal
aries. If they have no right TO hold
them and draw salaries. it may be
safely predicted that they will not
be permitted to do it by the general
council. which is the sum and sub
stance of the whole matter.
1t is a plain question of complying
with the law, and has no politics in
il. If the members of the general
council vote salaries for Offices that
do not legally exist, they can be held
personally responsible for every dol
lar of the city's money thus paid out.

SHOULD BE COURAGEOUS.

A man holding public Office should
have the courage of his convictions,
or he is in the wrong place. Evans
vile, Ind, has been wrestling with
the question of granting a telephone
company franchise. AS usual, there
were demagogues. men with axes to
grind and the usual array of other
kinds, of opponents, but the council
decided the question for the greatest
good to the greatest number, as II
saw it, and granted a franchise for
thirty-five years, something that
would have caused a number of anti
corporation people in Paducah to go
into conniption fits had such a thing
been attempted here. which Of course
il could not be, as no franchise can
be granted for over twenty years in
Kentucky. With a vast array of OPP
ponents of various kinds before them
the council voted the franchise and
the Evansville Journal-News thus
tells of one members stand:
"Dr. Edwin Walker stated that
he had made an investigation into
the telephone situation in other
cities throughout the country. had
looked into the matter of rates, and
found that the present one offered
by the Cumberland company was
fair and just one.
81 find,' continued Councilman
Walker, that the telephone corpora
ton with a lower rate than this can
not make money. can not pay divi-
dends or run with any degree of sue
cess.
"In the interest of you people
standing out there beyond the rail-
ing, and see the faces of many of
my friends, my neighbors and fellow
citizens, I believe that ! am doing
the best thing for you, and the people
of Evansville, now and in the future,
when vote aye for this franchise. "
II showed he had the courage OF
his convictions in the face of harrow
ing conditions. Whatever a public
officials view on any subject, he
should have the courage to get up
and act according to his best judg-
ment.
