THE new tariff law prohibits the en-
try into this country of aigrettes and
women having them on their hats are
liable to have them confiscated. Re-
counting this fact the Frankfort State
Journal says that imitation aIgrettes can
be made Of horse hair and in view Of
that fact that article has jumped up to
$3.50 pound, adding that there is no
reason why one of the most beautifully
plumed birds should be exterminated
when horses tail will serve for the or.
namentation of woman's headgear. Just
so, but think of a pretty girl switching
a horses tail every time she turns her
pretty head. 1t is enough TO make a

In large number of counties the lis
cal court recognizing that certain Off
GERS are not sufficiently paid, are raising
their salaries, especially is this the case
as to the Judges. Montgomery, Hardin
and others are the latest TO do 50. The
salary of an official ought TO be compat
able with the dignity and duties of the
Office, and we do not believe that there
will be much protest over the fact that
Judge w. r. Shackelford's salary has
been increased from 81, $50 to 81, 500
Madison is one of the largest and
wealthiest counties in the State and is
able to pay her public servants well.
Certainly If the county Judge of Fayette
should receive SO, 900 year. the Judge
of this county should get half as much,
and even then it is small pay for the
work.

he assayed TO run an independent paper,
which cannot be done by a partisan Of

that il cost. IL lakes cords OF money to

His unnecessary, and in some cases
unwarranted, attacks on public men and
corporations made the paper unpopular
with the class thai supports newspapers
and the end was longer coming than
some predicted. Mr.. OwSley showed
much ability in newspaper work, but
il is not yet written that a third daily
paper can obtain profitable foothold in
Lexington. The Heral1 and Leader are
taken practically by every family in
town and the advertisers, the backbone
Of the support of newspapers, will not
use more than one morning and one
evening paper. We have tried it and we
ought to know.

ord the failure Of any cherished effort,

WHEN bonded principal is response
BILE for the acts of his deputy, common
sense would seem 10 suggest that he
ought to have the appointment of that
deputy The President thinks so too,
for he has just approved the Urgent De-
ficiency bill, with rider exempting dep
uty collectors and deputy United States
marshals from the operations of the civ
il service law.
The marshals and collectors are bond
ed 10 the Government and their deputies
are directly responsible TO them. They
should therefore have the right to choose
efficient men, even if they have not pass
ed a civil service examination. The
President thinks, and very justly, that
the officials named can better select their
deputies because of the personal equa-
tion that would enter into the confiden-
tial relations between them. The law
doubtless never intended 20 cramp a
bonded officer in such a way, and the
President has acted wisely in permitting
proper construction of it to be made.

SINCE it seems that Lexington is to
have saloons, the evil of them should be
minimized as much as possible. We
are therefore glad TO note that Commits
sioner W. III. McCorkle has proposed an
ordinance to abolish on short notice all
the saloons in the territory surrounding
the red light district. If passed it will
put Is saloons ont of business and re
duce the revenue of the city by 1900.
Much of the crime committed in Lex
ington is caused by drunken men in the
district named. The saloons ought to
be cut out there and be confined to a
prescribed district in the center of the
city. The right to retail liquors should
not be sold to grocery keepers, nor
should a saloon be near squares of any OF
the schools. We trust that Mr.. Nc
COrkle will push his ordinance to pas
sage and then provide for the other re
strictions named. If the brute cannot
be killed, let il be muzzled as much as
possible.
