COURAGEOUS sTATEsMANsHIP.

COURAGEOUS CRAFTSMANSHIP.
Governor Hughes, of New York, is
a man of courage. Standing for the
people, he refuses countenance abso-
lutely and entirely to demagogy and
demagogues. He believes in reforms
that build up, not in theories which,
reduced to practice, were sure to de-
stroy. The action of Gov. Hughes in
refusing assent to the demagogic de-
mand for railway spoilation is meet
ing with general approval. The sane
Democratic feeling Of the state of
Kentucky Is expressed by the Stand
ford Interior Journal: Nineteen leg
islatures have passed two-cent a
mile fare bills, but only one governor
Hughes, of New York-had the
courage to veto one"
The railways deserve fair treat
ment. That they may have, at any
time, done injustice to individuals, to
classes or even to the public at large,
is no justification for wrong doing
now to those corporations. The law
makers of every state should so act
wisely. justly and firmly with the
railroads, that the latter shall feel
that any detection on their own part
from the pathway of right dealing to
all citizens and communities shall re-
ceive prompt and condign punish
ment. A prevailing opinion in the
south is expressed by the Chattanoo-
ga News:
''Mr. Bryan writes to disapprove of
the act of Gov. Hughes, of New York,
in yetoing the two-cent passenger
fare bill. II there is one thing about
which Mr.. Bryan Is clear 1t is that
the railroads have no rights the poll
tlcians ought to respect. Gov.
by forcing the passage of
the utilities law, rendered It abso-
lute,y unnecessary to go further in
the way of restraining legislation to
secure the people in their rights from.

meal in England, asserting that a
small plate or porridge was equal in

a four pound loaf.
He contended the rich would great

their viands more simply. The habit

TRUE HARMONY.

There is a peace that Is death.
There is a harmony that is apathy,
the AFFECT acquiescence Of a disinter-
ested constituency.
Then there is a harmony that is
the underlying motive Of apparent
contention, when men, moved by
the same purpose, disagree over the
method and argue the point with
heat, until one establishes the supe-
riority Of his way. That kind of har-
mony reflects vitality and interest
and strength and will and enthusi-
asm. That kind of harmony brings
men to political conventions, makes
them cheer their sentiments and
makes them work together for sue
cess at the polls.
Whatever advantage is TO be gain
ed In numbers, in harmony of pur-
pose, in unanimity of action, in
spontaniety and determination, rests
with the Republicans Of Paducah
this fall. Yesterday the party held the
greatest convention in the history Of
local municipal politics. The workers
90 forth encouraged, refreshed and
inyigorated, having tested their met
tie and loyalty. and found they both
ring true. The sentiment expressed
and manifested at yesterdays con-
vention was splendid.
At least 644 voters participated in
the convention. Nearly as many more
showed their interest by attending
Mud assisting in the cheering. The
<rHubMcan candidate for mayor,
~ p. Smith, received The solid
81 the G44. That was within 62
number Of votes received at

fimity was the result of
~ purpose. The Republicans
of Paddcah we're imbued with the
idea that they could win at the No
vember election. SO they went to the
convention in great numbers to pick
the best and most available candi-
date. All the best men in the city
were mentioned and then the prob
lem simmered down TO the selection
Of the most available. There was a
difference of opinion as to the rela-
tive availability, all things consider
led, of Mr.. Smith and Aldermen Earl
Palmer. The convention spoke, and
then harmony reasserted itself. The
will of the majority rules. Mr.. James
p. Smith, one of the best men in
the city for mayor, is also possessed
in a superior degree of that ether nee
essary qualification under the cir
cumstances, availability.
And Alderman Earl Palmer. There
is some further honor in store for
him; because no political party can
afford to ignore the character, acu-
men, spirit and eloquence displayed
by the presiding officer of the upper
board of the general council at the
convention yesterday. His conduct at
the crucial stage of the proceedings
marked him as one of the few men
possessed Of an intuitive perception
of the psychological moment and
ability to think and act promptly
and accurately. He stamped the con-
vention with harmony. the sort of
harmony that wins victories. Alder
man Earl Palmer will be hard man
to beat the next time he makes a
race for anything in Paducah.
1T is a strong ticket from top to
bottom nominated yesterday and ev-
cry man on it should rally votes to
the support of the whole.

CARDINAL GIBBONS
TALKS TO GRADUATES AT HOLY
CROSS COLLEGE.
Christian Manhood Subject of Adj
dress BY Great Catholic
Prelate.

Worcester, Mass, June 2"'.-The
need of christian manhood was urged
by Cardinal Gibbons on members of
the graduating class of Holy Cross
at the annual commencement
exercises. The prelate said in part:
1.-THE greatest need of the time is
sturdy men, endowed with the cour-
age of their convictions. We need
men who are controlled by conscience
rather than by expediency, who are
guided by principle rather than by
popularity, who are Influenced by a
spirit of pure patriotism rather than
a desire for political preferment.
"Above all, we need men of strong
christian faith, who are prepared to
uphold their religious convictions In
the face of popular prejudice. In a
word, we need men of upright char
acter.
Fidelity to Duty True Test.
1.-THE true test of success lies in the
fulfllment of duty. If you are faith
full at the post to which Providence
will assign you, no matter what that
post may be. you viii be successful in
life; you will merit the esteem of
your fellow citizens; you will enjoy
the testimony of a good conscience;
and, above all, you will have the ap-
proval of heaven.
MANY a soldier who fearlessly
rushed to the lannon's mouth has
quailed before the shafts of ridicule
and the shouts of popular prejudice.
The man who calmly fulfills a duty
against public clamor displays greater
courage than the captain who cap
lures cities.
"If Plato gloried in claiming Greece
as the place of his birth, how much
more should you rejoice in being
born and nurtured in a country so
free and enlightened as the United
States of America. Here, thank God,
there is liberty without license, and
authority without despotism. Here
the government holds over you the
aegis of its protection without inter-
fering with the God-given and in
alienable rights of private conscience.
None Should BE Drones. 4.
"No citizen of the United States
should be drone in the social hive.
No man should be an Indifferent spec
tator of social economic and pollti-
cal problems which are presented to
his consideration. And If every citi-
zen should take an interest in public
affairs, surely, those who enjoy the
advantages of liberal education
should in special manner have a
deep concern for their country s
moral and material welfare. Exer-
else the right of suffrage by giving
your influence only to candidates of
clean hands and unsullied reputa-
ton"

 The steam schooner Martha Tuft, which was wrecked at the mouth of the Katana river during a severe storm on October 5th and whose crew was saved by clinging to the rigging is reported as having been picked up and taken to Katalla by the schooner Henry.

 William Page, superintendent of the Knight Island Mining Company, while working at Drier Bay, was killed by the explosion of dynamite He was alone at the blacksmith shop on the side of a mountain when a whole box of powder went off. The body was torn and filled with coal and rock. It was blown sixty feet across a canyon. Miners in tun- nel heard the shock and found the body and carried it down the noun tain, where Mrs. Page and the two chil. dren were in camp. The cause. of the accident is unknown. Page was former manager of the Ellamar mine.
 Another serious complication in con- nection with the murderous shooting at the canyon, may face those who are responsible for the deed and lead to in ternationaI complications. Fred Rine- hart, who was injured the worst, and who was obliged to have his leg ampu- tated yesterday, and who died this morning at the Good Samaritan Hos pital, is German citizen and soldier, and at the present time is on leave of absence from the German army.
