The Democrats Of Clarksburg have
scored q point ahead Of the Democrats Of
Wheeling. They have recently orgAuized
a Democratic and TariG Reform Society. "
The object of lhe society viii be the same
a. Of those already in existence,
namely, the discussion Of the tau1
question and dissemination Of knowledge
among the people. The constitution Of
Che society 10 based upon the celebrated
message Of President CLEVELAND aud its
fight will be fought upon the lines laid
down by that great Democratic leader.
The Democrats of Clarksburg show a
commendable spirit of energy, perever-
ance and determination 10 the cause OF the
masses of the people against the specially
favored mouopolists IN beginning thus
early the battle of ls92 I, is this spiri;
that Will win The fight cannot be begun
too soon as We have learned from the last
campaign. It takes long to disabuse the
popular mind of prJud'ces especially
when a rich and powerful class are devot-
ing themselves necessarily to fostering
them, and we cannot begin the work too
early.
These societies viii serve the purpose
also Of solidifying and organizing the party
for It's work in the next campaign, which
is almost everything.
Let Wheeling take a lesson from Clarks-
burg and orgNize her already formed
clubs into Tariff Reform Societies and
start anew the great work Of emaucipatiug
the people Of America from the mOnopo-
listc tyrant that is insiduously sappiug

AN UN-AMERICAN ORDINANCE.
IL is to be regretted that the Council
committee in charge Of the new police or
dinaBcs could not see its way clear 10
striking out Of the old rules that abb
.uri. unconstitutional and un-American
clause. which the REGISTER strongly OPP
posed at the time OF its adoption, provid-
ing thatuo saloon-kseperor son Of a saloon
keeper shall be eligible TO serve on the
police force. Until the business Of keep
ing saloon ia made crime and those eu-
gaped in il criminals, neither Council nor
any other body can have the legal right to
deprive this lsrge class of citizens Of their
rights in this regard.
Itisa paradox that under The present
ordinance sslooa-keepsrs may sit in Coun-
eli and help regulate the police depart
ment aud yet be themselves Ineligible to
serve on the force
Tt is to the interest Of the city beyond
question that the greatest care be taken in
the selection of the men who are 70 act as
guardians Of the peace and that none but
men of coed character be chosen, bat
Council has no right to enact an ordinance
barring any class Of our people, not crimi-
nails. from any portion Of their rights as
American citizens. Council should strike
out the clause because it is wrong in pTin-
ciple. unjust and un-American.
