The press of Kentucky is losing a
personality in the retirement of w.
p. Walton from the editorship OF the
Kentucky State Journal. Those, who
have felt the prick OF his lance. know
there was a man behind 1t. Few
writers in the state ever neglected
the opportunity for a joust with Col
onel Walton, who took them as they
came. IT is not TO detract from the
merits of his brilliant successor, ]. c.

you think this speaks well for Dem

The press here as well as else
where is very potent influence and
/ must say that they are very liberal
In the use of their columns for any
thing that will advance the interests
of Denver and Colorado.
| Denver Is now on the march to
reach the 500 ,OcO mark in the neyt
ten years. and everything in the way
Iof municipal improvement is made
looking to that end. The city of Den
ver has the unique distinction of be-
ing the first city OF its kind to issue
flor free distribution a weekly paper
among the taxpayers OF the city. San
Francisco might contest this claim as
that city has for some months been
issuing a paper. but it has subscrip-
ton price. Denver rightly claims the
honor of being the first city to furn-
ish its citizens free with a weekly
record of municipal events and care
fully complied statement of the week
ly condition OF its finances. This pa
per will not be confined to the mere
compilation of figures but will aim
to give to the world at large a con-
ception OF the civic growth of this
metropolis of the Rockies. This
weekly paper is called Municipal
Facts" and is delivered free of charge
to every taxpayer in the city of Den
yer. Feeling that you will be inter
ested in a measure of this kind. I
have requested the city to mail you
the back numbers of Municipal
Facts" and to place your name on
the regular mailing list. This will
all be free OF charge and | feel quite
sure that the city will be only too
glad to mail you each issue as II
comes from the press. You will find
much of interest in each issue and
many suggestions which will be offer
ed in same that will be of benefit TO
Paducah as a municipality.
| This has been a remarkable win
tier in Colorado as there has been
about a nine and half foot snow fall
here this winter which has not been
exceeded in this section for years.
The climate Is fine but the weather
this year has been awful. We are
having a very hard snow storm here
today. but as the ground is so warm
from the recent sun It is not sticking
much. / send greetings to all of my
Paducah friends
Yours very truly.

"The church Is an aggressive force
on the march forward, not an army
in camps. as many people seem to
regard it," declared the Rev. d. G.
Wright, at Grace Episcopal church
last night. He chose as his text from
Second Peter. Love the Brother
hood" He said there has always
been a great struggle among Chris
tians as to whether the brethren or
the brotherhood should be given
greatest consideration, and said the
reason all denominations go the bible
and prove to their own satisfaction
that their peculiar ereeds are the
right, is that the early apostles were
so intent upon saving souls. so rapt
in consideration OF the individuals.
that they neglected &c specifically
define the creed, though unques-
tionably there was an organized
church, and one method OF baptism
in use by the apostles. DR.. Wright
said he is convinced that some day
the church will be one, when there
Will be harmony between those who
hold to the exaltation of the brother
hood and those who say the church
organization is nothing and the indi-
yidual soul everything. Some day, he
said, the same test will be applied TO
the Christian church today that
Christ applied to the Jewish church:
"what are your frults?" Then VIII
come great reorganization. for the
church OF Christ win endure and
eventually It will be perfected for the
great work TO which It Is dedicated,

SOME PEOPLE in Baltimore appear to be LASH
ing themselves into fury over the much talk
ed.of Union Station that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company proposes to erect in that
city. 1t would be we'll for these excitable per-
sons to read and calmly consider the views of
Mr.. Reuben Foster, president of the Chesa.
peake Steamboat Company, who says: II
regret to see so much criticism and dstrust
manifested as to the intention of the officials
of the Pennsylvania Railroad in regard to the
character of depot it proposes to build at Balti-
more. They know the requirements, and
whatever they do, either here or in any other
city, is done in a manner that reflects credit
upon the corporation. Any public improve.
ment ofthis character is a mutual interest to
the city and the railroad company. The Off
Gals of the Pennsylvania Railroad Zone of the
greatest corporations in the world are broad
minded men whose regulations are involved,
and 1 feel that this spirit of criticism and dis
trust, if continued, will result in harm to the
city of Baltimore instead of good"

THE TERRIFIC storm that swept through Sec

part of last week caused the death of several
hundred persons and destroyed property worth
millions of dollars. Nothing like it had been
experienced in those sections before in many
years. The farming sections suffered equally
with the towns and villages. Snow fell in
many places and the cold was intense. The
storm continued three davs.
