A new city charter has been
prepared for Clarksburg and a
petition has beer sent to the
legislature to grant new char.
ter. 1t will give the council of
Clarksburg enlarged powers.
We have not seen the proposed
charter. We understand that it
was prepared by two of our citi-
zens and one of them is now at
the capitol trying TO engineer it
through. We are not prepared
to comment upon its provisions.
A gentleman who is supposed to
know about it informed US that it
was mainly to take from the
county court the control of the
liquor question and give the en-
tire management of this prob,
lem to the town council. Our
people will want to know what
the charter proposes before they
will be ready to accept it. The
legislature can certainly go no
further than to leave it's final
adoption with the people of
Clarksburg after they have an
opportunity to know what it is.
The petition that people signed
did not ask for any particular
charter simply a new charter.
If IL is a better thing for the
town than the one we now have.
it will doubtless be approved by
our citizens.

JAMES G. BLAINE

u
group of great Americans Of the
modern age is numbered with the
Nations distinguished dead. The
mighty soul Of the '.Plumed
Knight has assembled to the
throne of the living God. From
his early home on the Mononga.
hela, where his life was as sim
pie and pure as the sweet brier
roses that grew in wild and luxur.
liant beauty upon the river
heights, he went TO New England,
that nursery of American intel
lect and cradle of American
patriotism, to develop into the
foremost man OF tie World.
There has been Instituted no
great public measure, no policy
that tended to broaden the sphere
of American influence since the
days of reconstruction with which
his name has not been identified.
Our intellect is too sluggish. our
imagination TOO frail to pay a
fitting tribute to the life OF this
great civil leader.
Mr.. Blaine loved West Virginia
and took deep interest in her
industrial development. While
he had friends everywhere, he
was not insensible to the fact
that the people of the Little
Mountain State, were among his
most ardent admirers.
His was a life consecrated upon
the altar OF uncompromising
Americanism. He forged his
way amid Instructions and diff.
culties to eminence. to affluence
and to the fullest confidence of
the American people, wholly by
reason of his magnetic personal.
ity and sound Judgment. He
could not be seduced by love of
power-was never weakened by
tlattery- never overcome by the
pleadings of fascinating sophis-
try. In his towering diplomacy
there was a combination of happy
faculties. Like Gladstone he
was generator of enthusiasm.
He combined the discernment
and sagacity of Jefferson with the
tact of Seward and the dignity
of Webster" Like Greeley,
when he spoke to the common
people they understood and APP.
plauded. To let him grasp your
hand once was to make you his
friend forever. Since Lincoln
fell, fighting for human liberty, no
