In accepting the bids for paving the city coun-
Gil laid great stress on favoring home people and
adopted Clarksburg brick as the material OF that
kind to be used. and yet they did not give E. W.
Wells bid for curbing even passing notice. Nor
did they consider j. Horror Davis Co.'S bid for
paving, except to read it. The street committee
recommended that certain bid be accepted and
certain brick be used. Mr.. Davis claims that a
member of that street committee who is a manu-.
facturer Of brick did not quote him as low prices
for brick as he did the other fellows and, therefore
his bid had to be higher than others. fMr. Davis
contention be true, 1--WE do not undertake to say it
is, then, indeed, is there great inconsistency in
the councils pretended and professed support of
home people and home industries.

RIDICULOUS PAVING PLAN.

Members of the city council are circulating
petitions for property owners to sign agreeing 10
and binding themselves to pave tWotnlrds OF Tue
street sections proposed to be paved. The
,,etit;ons are in conformity with an ordinance of
that nature recently enacted, by which, II ma
iority Of the real estate owners along any street
agrees to pave thirds of the street (one-thrd
on each side) along their properties the city Will
pave the other third and compel the minority own
ers to pave their proportion
It was not our understanding that that ordi'
nance was intended to apply to the paving and
sewerage for the construction OF which BIDS were
recently advertised. TO tie contrary our lm'
preston was that the city would undertake to do
that work itself, and owing to its being the cen
trail aud business portion of the city, we believed
no objection would be raised.
If the council succeeds in obtaining the con-
sent of all the property owners along those sec
tions, there can be no serious objection to the
plan, but If only bare majority signs the petit
tion, then there is just grounds for complaint
The ordinance itself, is not practicable because OF
the peculiar manner in which the streets are dlvid
ed and not just because a bare majority should not
govern in such an important and expensive matter.
AS an illustration, if one more than half on Pike
street petition for pavements, the other half are
forced pay for something they do not want
Again, by that plan it might follow that every
street and alley would be upon the city at once to
be paved task of which the cityi utterly in.
capable. Again, the ordinance does not provide
for the paving of section of street exclusive OF
other sections but to the contrary says street
which means a street in it's entirety. Under this
construction it matters not if every property own
err along Pike street from the Walker hotel to
Fourth street signs the petition except one, that
one can enjoin the city, and legally SO. upon the
grounds that majority along Pike street from
end to end did not petition for paving. The same
applies to the other sections of streets. the paving
of which is contemplated.
In short, the council is unwittngly blocking
its own undertaking, and there will be no paving
done this year, if that plan is to be pursued.
In the matter of paving by compulsion, the
number to govern should be at least three-ffhs Of
the property owners, as it is in bonding the city.
A bare majority is not enough and is unjust
The Telegram is of opinion that the best. and
possibly the only practicable, way to pave city
is for the city government to pave a specified
amount each year until the system is completed.
The charter gives the government that power,
and if it be carried out with discretion and judg.
ment, no hardship will be imposed upon any one.
The question is certainly of sufficient impor
tance as to require more consideration than the
council has given it. and we trust that body will
act more judiciousy.

The supreme court of the United States this
week decided that the Kentucky governorship was
not federal question at its present juncture, and
as democratic Legislature declared democrat
elected to that Office, Mr.. Taylor Immediately va,
Gated the office, and is now in Indiana. The Incl
dent is being used by the prejudiced and partisan
democratic press for unwar-anted denunciations Of
Taylor and the republican party. They term him
a fugitive from justice, and yet they overlook the
painful and deplorable fact that the democrats Of
Kentucky are robbers outlaws, murderers and in
their desperation ready to resort to all manner
of outrage and injustice retain power. to corrupt
the ballot box and to SUPPRESS the willof the people.
Taylor acted the better part to stay away from the
gang that would assassinate him at the snap OF a
finger, the conspiracy which tried to jail him to get
possession of the Office to which the people Of
kentucky elected him He knows the people
with whom he has deal and it is not the part of
coward to place himself beyond their blood thirsty
grasp He has been the EN- oodiment of honor and
: ice throughout the grave trouble and is to-day
! nl.n Of honesty, integrity and bravery.
