THE 'SUBWAY PROPOSITION.
The tmbway proposition of the
Cairo Electric and Traction company
to the city council, ny v. men me ior-
mer proposes to build free or cnarge
the nronosed subway at Sycamore
street will be laid before the city
council tonight.
The offer has been plentifully dis
cussed and has met general approba
tion. In fact, bo far as can be learn.
ed there is no opposition, and there
should be none. The city is Retting
rid of a most 'dangerous crossing, in
which the lives of citizens are con
ii finally placed In Jeopardy, whilst at
ha same time It Is receiving as an ab
solute gift the subway, the erection of
which will cost several thousand dol
lars.
The Bulletin has not grown excited
over the proposition of the Traction
r-mrmanv to Mm extent of continually
urging its acceptance, because the of-
fer is so simple and reasonable that
wa.knew it would appeal to tne dusi
. , . . . 1
ness sense of the council. There will
be no onnosition. it seems, and the
proposition will be accepted.
- The - Bulletin congratulates the
council, the Traction company and the
citizens generally that this vexatious
problem at last, gives promise of such
satisfactory solution.
It also congratulates Councilman
Fraser on his plan of closing the sub
way In case of emergency from high
water.. It is so entirely feasible and
no doubt will be adopted by the coun
cil that we feel we may jay Conncilvj
man Fraser has rendered the city a
distinct service in devising t
LUMINOUS FACTS.
It Is admitted that American steel
rails are soli in Canada at $19.50 a
ton.
American railroads must pay $L8
for railst
We levy a duty of $S a ton to pre
serve the home market from the pau
per-made rails of foreign countries.
The Dominion of Canada has just
enacted a duty of $7 a ton on rails.
This will make the price to Canadian
roads $20.50, unless American steel
rail makers reduce the price still
further. Thla seems possible, since
it i "stated on good authority that the
fcoatirf production is less than $12.
Conld anything better illustrate the
crazy character of the tariff than
these admitted farts? How long will
the American people tolerate this pro
lillc mother of trusts? St. Louis Post
Dispatch. THE KITTY'S CLOSING.

aearly nil of them have p4d expen

ae hoped for.
Which team will By the pennant for
the next year seems to be In as
much doubt at this writing as when
the season began. A month ago
Cairo looked a sure winner. But a
--tring of misfortunes -to the pitching
staff placed the team at such a dis
advantage that, topether with the
strengthening of the twirling depart
ment of our closest opponent, Padu
cah. ttje latter has been enabled to
overcome Cairo's lead to such an ex
tent that now only one game sepa
rates -Ihe twti leaders.
Whether Cairo wins or kes the
pennant. even by being cheated
out of it, a Is being allcgtj, by the
unfair tactics of the Paducah manage
nent and one or two of the other
teams which are al.( to be par'lal
to the". Kenfcn kians true sportsmen
..ill not loee sight of the fart that it
has been a beautiful race, sufficient
to tir the hearts of the fans to the
wildest pitch of entnuKlarm. In fact,
the history of the great national
game has aeldom ' af orded a more
thrilling finish for a pennant than the
Kitty Hague Is now doing.,
It is; unfofunate and greatly to lx
deplore! that surh a brilliant con
tent khimld lie marred at lis cloie by
the charge of fraud. For the take of
thr' ltguc, and of tliw game Itself
as w ji an ior tne goni opinion we
have always lield for our Kentucky
