II, ms our PopocratIc brethren claim,
they have sure thing In this state, why
should the entire state machine be at
Parkcrsburg using every means posi-
Bile TO persuade the Popullst managers
Into II fusion on the state ticket? There
has never been witnessed IN the history
or politics In my state more clearly
defined confession OF weakness.
Az detailed in the lntcllIgencer's Par
kershurE special, the Watts managers
have offered 10 sacrifice any man on
their ticket except Watts and to sell out
Their party to the PopulIsts on condI-
ton of the latters' support Of Watts.
But the Populists will not accept the
man IN whom they cannot see sincerity
for the cause az free silver, and that Is
the snng which the desperate woud-bc
fuslonIsts have run against.
The sacrifice OF the two Bryan and
Sewall electors by the PopOcratlc man
ayers IS another evidence Of n confessed
weakness of the Organizes, They real
lie that the state IS hopelessly for Nc
kinley and honest money, and az last
d-spaIrin6 card they voluntarily take
from their ticket Democrats und place
In their stead the two PopuIst electors

the Popocratic cause In West Virginia
Is confronted by desperate condition,
what does 1t signify? II the situation
were as the Popocratlc newspapers
would have their readers believe 1t Is,
there would not be this last ditch effort
TO effect fusion which involves n sacr!-
flee OF principle and reputation of
timc-honorcd Democratic precedent.
How old time Democrats, who hold
dear Democratic doctrines and prece-
dents, must feel as they contemplate the
disgraceful condition to which this
modern so-called Democracy has come
at last, must be left TO the Imagination
OF our readers.

the Watts managers have fixed upon in

SXo\S shoes

point last night, but he declined to speak
farther than to say that the question OF
appeal was under consideration"
Some Of the lawyers think that the de-
cision Of the court OF appeals as TO special
benefits upsets law which has been law
for generations, and that the decision Of
the court of appeals would easily be upset
by the Supreme Court of the United States.
1t may be expected, therefore, that the
matter will not be permitted to rest where
it was left by the court of appeals.
There are two grave considerations in
the highway act ana its cousin german the
sewer bond bill, which is to make it
operative with the sinews OF practical
application. One is the original tremend-
dous expense which Will now be very
largely increased by the fix in which
their Favorable decision has left the
Commissioners. The other is that the Com
missioners are trying with Incorporate
zeal and hot haste to lay out streets for
a section of the wilderness of the Dis
trict Of Columbia which will not need even
a COW path for the next half a century.
Public opinion is generally against the
manner in which the Commissioners have
conducted their bond bill campaign, for
it is plain to every member of Congress
that there is no necessity for the street
extensions.
HEADED OFF THE SEWERS.
1t is also plain to members Of Congress,
with the exception, perhaps, OF those who
may have some prospective interest in the
prospective bonds, that the Commissioners
opposed the scheme to provide for the health
of the city with the new sewers as proposed
blythe board oftrade. This plan washeaded
off by the Commissioners insisting on
keeping the appropriations for Sc ewers and
street extensions in the same bill and thus
defeat legislation which might have been
successful for sc wers alone. 1t will also be
recalled that when the Commissioners were
engineering the local ylaidespecial
stress on the absolute necessity for new
and extended sewerage.
Quite a number of interviews were pub
lished in The Evening Times yesterday
bearing on this question of the necessity
for street extensions The general opinion
was that no such7 legislation was needed
and that it wouldpbe better for the Com
missioners 10 conffne their attention to
matters pertaining to the city proper with
out making excursions, unnecessary and
Utopian, into the suburbs; and, especially,
as the suburban people were evidently not
particularly grateful for the manner in
which the streets gwere proposed to be
extended.
