''LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE"

The general impression is that II
senator Foraker's friends will only
let him alone, he will be able to
cut some figure in the fight for the
Ohio delegation in the next Nat
ional convention.
Last week Foraker came out in
the most manly statement he has
made in years. when he rebuked
the representatives of the Ohio
Republican League who assembled
in Columbus and gave him a
blanket Endorsement by stating that
he proposed to throw the Ohio sen.
atorship overheard and make the
race for the presidential nominal
ton. That statement appealed to
the people. but it was scarcely ut
tered than few friends undertook
to dig up the past record of the
senator in an endeavor to show
wherein Foraker had been mis-
used, by being crowded aside by
Ohio men who have forged into
National prominence 1t is claimed
that senator Foraker stood aside
for Sherman, Mckinley, Hanna and
others and that now, because of
these sacrifices, he should be hon
orcd. Every man who is at all
familiar with Ohio politics and
Senator Foraker's record knows
why Foraker stood aside for those
men. 1t was for the same reason
that "Gunnern Moir, the English
heavyweight pugilist. stood aside
for Tommy Burns, the American
champion before the National
sporting club in London. Monday
evening Burns landed knockout
bibN anu iiut Ndo til' ollis ltd-
son for Moir's retirement. Foraker
was not knocked out, but the other
men got the decisions of the peo-
pie who acted as referee in the
nght.
Foraker's letter of last week Is
indicative of reformation upon
his part. There are many who
doubt his sincerity, but we should
always hope for the best even
thought the worst comes. Friends
of the senator can do him no great
or service than by refraining from
alluding to the past. They surely
should not make statements for
him which tend to increase the
distrust In the sincerity of
Foraker's present motives and re-
cent statements.

and the Steel Trust in its anxiety
to make big profits in selling de-
fective steel rails and is, there
fore. to blame as much as the
railroads which accept these de-
fectlve rails.
The Republican tariff which pro-
tects the Steel Trust virtually Of
fers premium on defective rails
by preventing competition. The
tariff duty on Steel rails is 1894
per ton, and on the small quantity
? imported last year, which cost
1888 per ton in the country
where manufactured, was equal to
z an ad valorem tariff tax of 33.44
per cent. With the tariff tax added
to the cost, leaving out the freight
and other expenses of importation,
the cost was $3l.3S per ton on i'm
ported rails. At the same time the
price the steel Trust charged was
y SIS per ton at Pittsburg. The
& difference of $4.53 per ton between
the price of steel rail abroad and
X here represents the extra tax the
tariff protects the trust in collect

the tariff tax was abolished on
steel rails there would be the
incentive offered to the railroads of
buying better rails at much re-
duced price. Probably not an
other ton OF foreign rails would be
imported under free trade in rails
for the trust would either have to
improve the quality and reduce the
price of the rails 1t manufactures
to meet the foreign competition or
lose the enormous rail business.
As 1t is officially recorded that
the trust could produce steel rails
for $l2 a ton, when labor and
raw material was perhaps 33 per

Commissioners Appraise Site

The Commission composed of Messrs.
C. A. Dauhgerty. N. Kriener and
Henry Power, appointed by the United
States District Court, sitting at Coving-
ton, in the matter of condemnation
proceedings to fix the valuation of the
property purchased by the Federal
Government of Mr.. John I. Hinton at
the corner of Main and Eighth streets.
as site for the new Government build
ing, which is better known as the old
Christian church property, met on the
premises Thursday and fixed the valua-
tion.
In their report to the Court the Com
missioners stated that the property is
not only desirable for such building
but in their judgment the price asked
by Mr.. Hinton, So, 800, is a reasonable
one.
The property fronts $50 feet on Main
street and runs back about the same
distance on Eighth street.

Important Steps By City Council.

Besides fixing the tax levy at S1.45,
the same as last year, the following
are the most important steps taken at
the last meeting of the City Council:
The Council approved an ordinance
calling tor the expenditure of $4,000
for sewers on Higgins and Lilleston
avenues, Seventh and Second streets.
Five bonds of the city's Indebtedness,
amounting to 81, 500, were Cancelled and
coupons destroyed.
The license of $50 imposed upon all
life insurance companies doing business
in the city was reduced to $50.
A petition was presented by citizens
residing on Stoner avenue asking that
all property owners thereon be requir-
ed to construct new side walks on the
South side of said street. Referred to
the Mayor for report at next meeting
IF the Council.
A number of building permits were
granted.
The above ordinance in regard to the
new sewers shows that Mayor James
| o Brien is making good his promise
when indicted into office that he would
give our citizens the best sewerage
system Of any fourth-class city in Ken
lucky. This is being done with money
from the general purpose fund which
we venture to say was never done be-
fore by any city in Kentucky
Since Mayor O'Brien has been active
! ly looking after the city'S financial in
terests, as Councilman and later as
| Mayor, the annual tax rate has averag
| ed $1.32, while at the same time
marvellous progress has been made in
the way of public Improvements and
the material interests of the city
greatly advanced. The Indebtedness
of the city has been reduced from $780,
900 to $4,000, appropriations for the
expenditure of $50, 900 for public sewers
has been made and expended while the
city has made more miles of highly i'm.
proved streets and the best lighted city
of it's size in the State.

According to a financial report made
to the Capitol Commission at Frank

date on the new building and it is
rapidly nearing completion, just one

stone. Only the construction of the
immense dome remains to give the
building the outward appearance of
being completed.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, June Is. The last
few days in Washington really should
go down in history as Confederate
Week The men in gray and the
Daughters of the Confederacy prac-
ticaily took possession of the national
capital, and for the first time in history
a column of gray marched down Penn
Sylvania avenue from the Capital to the
White House. 1t was a pathetic hand
Eul Of the former warriors under JED
Stewart and Stonewali Jackson.
Each of the marchers carried his old
arms whether it was the cavalry saber
4or the heavy musket affected by the
infantry of those stirring times. Head
ed by band, the veterans OF passing
day marched down the Avenue with
the stars and bars fiuttering beside the
Tag of the united country. A large
number of veterans who attended the
reunion at Richmond came here to call
at the White House. There were a
number from Kentucky who had fought
IN the great struggle under General
Morgan. They told the President that
zf ne were again in need of rough riders
they were ready for service. Mr..
Roosevelt told his visitors several
stories and they went away highly
pleased.
o
Evidence is accommodating that with
the completion of the Hennepin canal
from the Mississippi River to LaSalle,
ILL.,, where the improvement of the
Illinois River begins, extending to the
drainage canal, there will be opened up

sis5ippi river and bv that means to all
of the Mississippi Valley states. The
effects Of this will be about fifty cents
q ton against present charge of 81. 80
and a higher rate for salt and other
bulky freights. The States Of the Ohio
valley will share in this reduction of
freight charges, so widespread will be
&he effect Of water transportation IN
competition with that by rail. This
ukase of the situation is one that the
National Rivers and Harbors Congress
has long sought to impress on the
minds Of the American public and on
Congress It's contention all along has
been that not less than $50, 900, 900 a
year should be appropriated for just
This class Of important work, and it is
very likely that the Sixtieth Congress
will even be more generous in the bill
providing for waterways development
than its predecessor.
