From a careful consideration Of these
City Council can not legally make appro-
priations OF money, gas, or water, to, or
for the benefit of any institution, not
under. control in whole, or in part, or
owned by the city, except that the city
may make appropriations to non-secta-
rian schools of manual, industrial. or
technical training.
Such was the executive clause OF the
opinion rendered to the Board Of Alder
men last night by City Attorney Pollard,
on the question of municipal appropria-=
tions to Charitable institutions-an opin-
ion more far reaching and momentous
possibly than any previous pronounce
ment of his record.
At the beginning of the last fiscal year
the City Council made appropriations to

nature. a short time ago, while march

sion Of police court this morning, and

The city council, is surprisingly di
tory about a crematory. There has been
ample opportunity to begin action j
the matter, but nothing has been dors
and nothing win be done inside Of two
weeks, and perhaps not then. With the
amount OF sickness there Is in the com.
munity and the amazingly unhealthy
condition of the city, it is urgent that
measures be taken at once. A special
session of the council is demanded TO
take this matter up and no one wants
to wait all summer for something TO be
done. The committee was ready to re.
port on the matter at the last meeting
but the usual reference and delay were
deemed necessary. Procrastinatiou may
be wen in some things, but this is not
one OF them.

The CITY council and the mayor want

The city council and the mayor want
an expression Of the people on the pro-
posed paving ordinance. 1t is very
proper that they should desire to know
the will Of the people on this subject
as they are the servants Of the people
and were elected to carry out their will.
The question IS one Of great import and
the property owners should be heard
from on the subject. In view Of this,
the Telegram extends the use of is
columns to all for a discussion Of this
question. Citizens Of Clarksburg. do not
hesitate to speak plainly on the sub
ject. It affects you. There should b.
a thorough discussion. Let the public
and especially the council know your
views on the matter.

The Fairmont Times says the strong
est financial institution in that city has
taken its advertisement from the col.
umns of one of the newspapers there
because it costs $50 a year. That Ger,
tainly is sad comment on the enter.
prise of not only that institution, but
the city as well, on account of the fact
that its strongest financial institution
is 50 selfish and miserably stingy. Still,
that institution, while it objects to such
n small outlay in helping TO build up
the city, expects the citizens generally
to patronze it. The people ought to
see to it that that particular institution
does not grow any richer of Of them.

The wide divergence of opinion as to
Grover Cleveland rs a presidential pos
sibility, entertained in particular by the
Democratic press, is an indication that
he is not the harmonizer he started out
to be and that the clements OF that
party arc no nearer together than they
were four years ago. The amusing part
of the boom of Cleveland for the next
Democratic nomination is that Demo-
cratic papers opposed to him are charg-
ing the Republican papers with the orr
gin of the boom. These Democratic pa
pers doubtless regard a number of other
Democratic papers as morthodox. Moth
ing but the Simon pure Bryanistic prin-
cipIes please or satisfy them, and, il
they are to have their way, Cleveland
win not even be fgurehead in the next
campaign. There are Democratic papers,
however, which recognize the eapability
of Grover Cleveland to shape the party's
action and to lead it to n better and
more sensible attitude upon all public
questions, but at the same time they dis
countenance the movement to give any
man third term and thus violate the
traditions OF the country. These, to-
gether with the Bryan opposition. ought
to be sufficient to force Cleveland 70
follow the voluntary example Of the il
lustrious Mckinley, when he fat-foot
edIy refused TO entertain the thought Of
a third term and % forcibIy stopped
the mention of 1t.
