a srECIOus ARGUMENT.

Tho argument to be adopted i'll tho
report Of the ordinance and finance
committees against the creation of an
advisory board, which should advise the
Council as to the location of public i'm
provements and the carrying on of the
same, is spccious. 1t is that the free
holders, knowing that such board
would have no legal power and that tho
Council would have still the power to
review, would regard the plan as a sub
terfuge and be thus prejudiced against
the bond ordinances.
The advisory board if properly con-
stituted would have two vast advan-
tages. 1t would be paid for what it did,
and it would be backed by public opin-
ion. Neither of which vantage grounds
is occupied by the Council to any
marked degree. Tho backing which
public opinion would give such 4 board
would convert its advisory powers into
as near the real article as can be manu-
featured. And that is what the Council
seems to be afraid of.

had quoted him incorrectly. lie stated
that no statute specifies any length of
time for giving notice of special cleo
tions. but that the law does require
that duo notice be given, which by an
alogy is supposed to be ten days.
THE TINES reporters have heard much
talk on the streets recently about the
shanticS that have been erected on
Salon avenue and Jefferson street
right in the heart of the business part

nous opinion that there should be some
regulation against the construction of
such fire traps.

CLEVELAND OR SOMEBODY ELSE.

The Washington Post vouches for tho
statement that Mr.. Cleveland is not
and will not, be Presidential candi-
date. The Post is the best political
newspaper in the country. We mean
that it's political news is tho host and
latest. If it says and vouches for the
statement that Cleveland is out of tho
race, it will require tho statement of
Mr.. Cleveland himself, in contradiction,
to disprove it.
Mr.. Cleveland has since his defeat be-
come Democratic idol. His hold on tho
masses is stronger than that possessed
by any Democrat since Andrew j ackson.
This is indisputable. 1t is proven in a
hundred different ways. If he wants
to have the nomination he can have it
on silver platter. If he does not want
it and absolutely will not have it. it is
his bounden duty to say so in terms
about which there can be no mistake.
He owes this to the Democracy, which

people, perhaps, who believe that sheep
raising in the East is a dead industry,
than there are who believe tho war is
over.
There is money in sheep raising in
this section, and the better tho grade
the more money can he made. If the
farmers of the State had devoted as
much attention to improving the stock
of sheep as they have TO improving
their horses, there would be thousands
of sheep where there are now hundreds.
But there is money in every line of
agriculture and stock raising here. 1t
costs no more to farm now than it did
ten years ago, while prices Of agricul-
tural products have advanced in the
same time from so to 100 per cent.
