THE SINKING FUND.

City Treasurer Walters has sued
former Treasurer Dorian and his
bondsmen for possession of the city
sinking fund.
AS the sinking fund is one with
which many OF our readers are un-
familiar, The Sun undertakes TO
briefly explain this transaction and
this fund, so that all may under
stand.
When the city or county makes an
issue of bonds, It is a provision OF
law that there shall be set aside an
nually. from taxes collected by the
treasurer. a certain amount to be
used for the redemption of said bonds
at maturity.
In the case OF the city's sinking
fund this amount has never exceed
ed the sum OF four thousand dollars
in any one year.
The law says that this fund shall
be kept in an account separate from
the city's current account and is sub
ject only to the control of the sinking
fund commissioners, which by law, Il
composed Of the mayor and the presi
dent of the board OF aldermen and
the common council. In justice tC
Mr.. Dorian let it be understood that
ANNUALLY these two boards set aside
a certain amount to go into the sink
ing fund The city clerk issued his
order on the treasurer for the amount
and the treasurer gave his own check
on the city depository to the mayor
for the amount.
The mayor and president Of the
two boards then at once placed the
money at interest. for stated period
OF twelve months, taking certificates
of deposit payable to their order.
This manner of handling the fund
has continued for many years and
the fund with the interest that has
been earned on It has grown by COM
pound interest until il now amounts
10 over forty thousand dollars.
The city treasurer is in no way
responsible for this fund except to
pay II over to the sinking fund COM
missioners. which II is admitted has
always been done according to law.

him when they were children, and
thus they grew TO manhood and won.
anhood, corfding to him, perhaps
secrets and longings and doubts they
breathed to no other human soul in
the world. He buried their parents,
baptized their children, visited them
in sickness and health, rejoiced with
them in their triumphs. and consoled
them in their Affections. BY virtue
of his long ministry in Paducah. his
upright life and unbounded sympathy,
DR.. Cave has established himself the
father confessor Of the protestant
community.
Those very qualities. which marked
him a success in the ministry in Pa
ducah, have served to break him
down more than all else, though he
would be last to admit II. His great
sorrow, his responsibilities at home,
the burden of the church work. which
he maintained unassisted were too
great for one physique, but when add
ed to these cares among the living,
the demands of the sick and dying
became so urgent they exhausted
him.
How great must be the grief of
this man at parting with his church,
only a nature as tender and sympa-
thetic as his can appreciate. How
deeply HIS congregation feel the part
ing. words cannot express; but for
Paducah The Sun would say of him:
We have known him as a great
pulpit orator, We have known him as
a minister in his daily work, we have
known him all in all as a man, and
in every capacity he proved himself
an honor to his high calling. a will
ing and successful servant of his
master and a good neighbor.
It is the wish of the people that he
may return here; but wherever he
goes. may he speedily be restored to
health that he may continue to prose-
cute the work Of his master, which
has born such abundant fruit in Pa
ducah during his ministry.

IT'S A SHOCKING JOKE. AT THAT.

IT'S A SHOCKING JOKE, AT THAT.
Down at Frankfort they have a
Joke on The Sun, because We de-
clared If the petition for a pardon
for Chicago Sadie" had been pub
lished a protest would have been
filed. The truth was the notice Of APP
plication was filed In The Sun, and
that is the joke; but We, like most
other respectable folk. didn't recog-
nize Chicago Sadie" by his Christian
name. We knew him only by repu-
tation and that in his nickname. So.
The Sun was imposed on as much as
the governor, who by the way, in a
communication to The Sun, explains
Z that he Investigated the case care
fully, and learned the facts 10 be that
the petitioner was discharged SOL
der. and that in self-defense, being
a small man, he stabbed a burly col
ored man. We also have before us a
COPY of the petition and when we
read the list OF local officials, jury
men trying the case, and representa-
tive citizens, who asked the gov
ernor to release this degenerate from
prison, we are not surprised that the
governor was convinced he was set
ting free a much abused person. Most
OF the people, who could recognize
"Chicago Sadie" under his real cog
nomen, signed that petition. II is
shocking. but there is no help for II
now.

Lease Alaska Coal La ads.

Former Secretary Jas. II Garfield
OF the interior advises leasing the
coal lands OF Alaska. He says:
.'Some improvements have been
made 10 recent years, but the rights
Of the public are not safeguarded.
None OF these lands should be di.-
posed Of until legislation !, enacted
which will provide method by which
the coal can be developed as II is
needed. under such regulations as
will prevent speculative or mOnopo-
listic holdings by few grea interests
and will yield to the nation a fair
monetary return. Under a leasing
system all these conditions can be
readily improved"
The exposure OF the efforts Of the
Guggenheim syndicate to get title to
coal lands 10 Alaska to mOnopolize
the coal supply was recently started.
Surveys are said to have shown that
in one continuous body there il
enough coal to last $50 years at 1000
tons day.

A further discussion CT the pro-

Monday evening. S. E. Beggs
reported having interviewed a
Spokane contractor who makes a

terms. Mr.. Beggs was appointed
a committee of one to correspond

The members of the council desire
to get the we'll started at the
earliest possible time so that, if
