RETIREMENT OF ADMIRAL coGHLAN.

aLiINE<hENt " Admiral NuuHbAN'
The active service of the Navy loses
one of its genuine ornaments in the re-
tirement under jihe age law of Rear
Admiral Jos! B!uCoghlan. Commandant
of the New, York Navy Yard. He is a
gallant OFFICER. of the highest profess
sional attainmeafs. His record extend
ed from sefEicebas Midshipman during
the civil war TO- command of that splen-
did fighting machine, the Raleigh, in
the victory .iof Manila Bay. He came
into worldwide notice by his recitation
of a poem lat a'banquet given by the
Union League Club. of Philadelphia, to
the naval officers after their return from
the Philippines. The poem ran:
Der Kaiser Won das Fatherland
Und Colt und all dings commando;
We two-ack! Don't you understand?
Meinself und Colt!
Vile some men sing der bower divine,
Mein soldiers sing die Yacht am
Rhcin,'
Und drink der health in Rheinish wine
OF me-und Colt.
Dere'S France, she Swaggers all aroundt,
She's Observation-Disclosures no aggound;
To much we think she don't amound,
Meinself und Colt!
She will not dare to fight again;
But if she shouldt, I'll show her blain
Dot Elsass und Gin French) Lorraine
Are mein-by Colt!
Dere's Grandma drinks she's NIGHT
Schmall beer
Midi Bocrs und such she interfere;
She'll learn none owns dis hemisphere
But me-und Colt!
She drinks, good Fritz, from ships she's
got
Und soldiers midi der scarlet coat
Ach! We could knock dem, Pouf! Like
dot,
Meinself-midt Colt.
In dimes of peace brebare for wars,
| bear der helm und spear Of Mars,
Und care not for den thousand Cars,
Meinself-midt Colt,
In fact l humor efry whim,
Nit aspect dark und visage grim;
Colt pulls with Me und 1 NIT Him,
Meinself und Colt,
At that time the feeling was pretty
high about the German Admirals inter
ference with Dewey. and Coghlan's rec
itation of the derisive poem set the
country to laughing and appIauding.
Berlin got very angry over the matter,
and called for disciplining of the lin
discreet officer The German Embassa-
dor called Secretary Hays attention to
the matter Secretary Hays attitude and
the expressions of the people showed
that it was not wise to push the matter
further, and Germany receded promptly
from her attitude as to our occupation
of the Philippines. Coghian was not dis
ciplined. but in time was given the
choicest billet in the Navy. the COM
mand of theaNew York Navy Yard. and
by special fayoriwas allowed to retain
that billet for six months after the OPP
Grafton of the law placing him on the
retired list last December.
Admiral Goghlan was born in Frank
fort, Ky. Dec. " 1874, graduated from
the Naval Academy in 1853, and mar
ried Julia Barbour, of Terre Haute, in
1868. They have one son. Graham

To the slow, soft beat
OF the muffled drum,
The marching feet
OF the people come.
Mother and child.
Father and son,
The grandsire mild.
With iife-task done.
From cot or hall
Alike they come;
They follow. all,
The wailing drum.
No arms have they,
These ranks of ours;
They bear to-day
Sweet gifts of flowers
Wherever sleep
The Nations dead,
They blossoms heap
Above each head.
Blest are the dead
Who slunber SO.
Above whose head
The banners blow!
From many hand
Flowers drift in heaps.
And all the land
Their memory keeps.
We give one hour
To deck their grave,
But life's whole flower
For us they gave.
They passed life by
With willing feet,
Nor feared to die
While earth was sweet.
And there are feet
Now weak and slow
Which once kept beat
With those below.
Like them, they met
The battles shock
AS firmly set
AS granite rock.

Above the mould
Where banners play,
Tribute Of old
They give to-day.

About to die,

FOR FISCAL YEAR
COntemplates Legal Test Of
Charter Amendment
Police Budget Accordingly With Pro-
vision I'm Contingent Fund for

OF WHOLE AGREES

After a long session in committee
of the whole, the general council
yesterday afternoon agreed on an
apportionment ordinance Tor the year
and at a special session of the board
OF councilmen last night the ordi-
nance passed it on two readings. The
aldermen will meet tonight and pass
it.
The ordinance is a compromise by
which the Republican members Sc
cure what they were fighting for in
substance, without bringing hardship
on anyone. The police force is to re-
main at its present numerical
strength until tie constitutionality of
the act amending the charter of sec
ond class cities so as to make the
minimum police force 80 men, is
passed on. Instead of $4,000 the po-
lice budget is to consist of $2S 900
with an additional $4,000 in the con-
tingent fund, available in case the
courts sustain the charter amendment
and the action of the board Of police
and fire commissioners in appointing
the additional men.
other changes were cutting out
the appropriation for the silver SER
vice for the gunboat "Paducah" and
increasing the library fund from 49,
500 to $4,000 the amount appropri-
ated last year.
The contingent fund is now $6,-

Vivid realism apparently distin-
guishes Oscar Wilde's treatment OF
the incident of Salome's dance be-
fore Herod and the decapitation of
John the Baptist in the one act opera
presented for the first time at the Me-
tropolitan opera house in New York.
The music was weird and delightful
and the decapitation esthetic enough.
but the realism of Salome's dancing
seems to have shocked grand opera
patrons. The dance and some of Os-
car Wilde's dramatic conceptions of
this biblical episode might be cut out
of the opera and put In side show

island so great as during the last
calendar year. A statement issued

the total exports from this country TO
Cuba we're valued at $46.491. 944,
which is more chan $4,000 900 over
the expectations for 1905. The inn
portations from Cuba were valued at
$50, Pcs, a falling of of $1O,-

marked decline in American importa-
tons is accounted for because Of the

With the most serious intention in
the world, the Kentucky state rail-
road commission has made its an
nual report indicating that there is
a scarcity of cars, which has much
to do with the failure to furnish
them to shippers, and advising the
railroads to exchange with one an
other, and by all means to keep the
cars moving. All of which is good.
sound advice, sucn as a father might
give to a son; but we are not entire
ly convinced that the information
will take the railroads by surprise.
1t does not require a railroad COM
mission to point out to the railroads,
OF to the impatient would-be-ship-
pers, either, that the railroads are
not furnishing enough cars for the
business. Railroads are held up to
the guileless youth as the acme OF
perfection in organization and econ
omy, and yet we learn that every
great trunk line in the United States
is getting farther and farther be-
hind the demand for rolling stock,
in the face of a prosperity that is five
years old and growing, and we learn,
again, that they are not economizing
time or distance in the use of the
cars they own. The findings of the
railroad commission are, no doubt,
correct and the reforms they recon-
mend to the railroads are, no doubt,
worthy of immediate adoption; but
it is a grievous disillusionment for
us to learn that railroad men are
just human, and as careless and ex-
travagant of time, space and move
ments as the rest of us, when we
nave looked always upon their mar
velous perfection or cooperation
with wondrous awe. Yet, it is some
thing gained to get conditions down
in the form of official records.

Unusual precautions taken to pro-
tect the jurors in the Tnaw case
from temptation bring sharply into
relief a reputation for our American
jury system that is anything but
gratifying. District Attorney Jerome
evidently intends that both Thaw
and the commonwealth snail have a
fair trial, and he will see. not only
that the modern adage, mo man can
be hanged if he has plenty Of mon
ey," shall have no bearing on this
case; and that newspaper stories
shall not reach the jury. That a jury
should have to be guarded like a
band of prisoners, is a hard common
tary on the peers OF America. We
hear much criticism of courts, and
the reproach that there is no longer
justice to be had in state tribunals
Is common. But do we ever stop to
consider why there is no longer JUS
tice to be had There is little COM
plant about equity decisions. Inva-
riably the complaint is heard in re-
gard to jury trials. Therefore, it is
not the court and the lawyers, it is
the jury that is at fault Who COM
pose the jury? the voters. The fell
lows who send corrupt men to legis-
lative bodies, are responsible for the
graft system in politics. This same
fellow, who votes for bad men, and
returns odious yerdicts, is the identi-
cal person, who is complaining most
about the courts and their injustice.
Men, who complain at conditions are
Of little use In this world What we
want is men, who will ind out the
cause Of conditions and eradicate the
cause. A mote in the eye is an I'M
fortunate thing, but District Attor-
ney Jerome has got one cause of in
justice locked up in a hall bedroom

A WISE COMPROMISE.

No one can blame those members
OF the general council who mad the
courage to hold out against precipi-
tate ratification of the police program
arbitrarily mapped out by the board
of police and fire commissioners.
The majority of the general council
felt the lash Of the party whip but in
their hearts they must have rebelled
at the executive dictation apparent
in the way the budget scheme was
presented to them. There are two
points in the controversy that chal-
lenge attention. The first was the
action Of the Kentucky general as
sembly in infringing on the right of
Paducah to attend to her own local
affairs. When the general council
had seen fit to fix the police force at
a certain numerical strength which.
was deemed sufficient to patrol the
city, but not for election day pur-
poses, the police and fire commission
cAo hooechSu " idHhAOLl anu seCuT-
ed the passage of a partisan measure
establishing the minimum number in
Paducah at 80 men. The general
council rightly considers that the rep
reseDtatives OF the citizens of Padu-
can rather than the representatives
from counties scattered over dist
ance Of hundreds of miles from Pa
ducah, are able to Judge how many
policemen are necessary, especially
since Paducah people, and not the
citizens of the state at large, have
to foot the bill. But this was not
enough. Having this amendment in
the charter the board of police and
fire commissioners impudently in
creased the police force without
waiting for the incoming general
council to pass the preliminary meas
ure giving sanction to the boards in
tention. The board then presented its
estimate of the amount necessary for
salaries for the augmented force, and |
followed 1t with the declaration, that
although the general council might
decide not to appropriate that
amount, the board would kecp tho
full complement of men on duty un-
til the money gave out and then
"leave Paducah without police pro-
lection" until the end of the year.
There was effrontery for youl Padu-
cab citizens might go without protec-
ton, because the general council did
not acquesee in the arbitrary man
date of the police commissioners.
The general council is vested with
exclusive authority to raise revenue,
to determine how much to apportion
funds. and yet, If department may
incur obligations and then put It up
