LAWYERS DISAGREE.

With ali due respect to the opinion
of County Attorney Wilson. who holds
that the county commissioners have
no legal right to appropriate any
money to secure the location in Walla
Walla of the Stubblefeld home. it is
noticeable that Mr.. Wilson quotes no
law and no authority in support of
his opinion with which some good
lawyers of the city do not agree. The
county commissioners are not bound
to accept as final the opinion OF the
county attorney. They are free to re
Ject IT if they find that it is not based
upon the law as construed by recog-
nicer authorities.
Inc statesman has at hand an opin-
ion delivered by the supreme court
or the state of Kentucky in the case
of the Orphan Society of Lexington
against Payette county. in which the
court controverts the arguments of
County Attorney Wilson in his onin-
Ion on the proposed appropriation for
the Stubblefeld home.

In justice to the six hundred or
more leading taxpayers of the county
who have petitioned for this appro
priatiOn the Statesman will publish
in full in tomOrrow's issue the decis-
ion of the Kentucky court.
1t appears that the terrible ravages
of cholera in 1888 left many infant
children in Lexington and the county
OF Payette in a helpless state of
orphanage and restitution. Most of
them were females, as unfit for
poorhouse as it was unbefitting their
age and sex. To rescue as many
orphans as possible and train them to
usefulness. some benevolent ladies
procured a legislative charter incor-
porating themselves and successors
as the Orphan Society of Lexington"
without any other endowment than
voluntary charity. In the year 1884
they organized themselves as a cor
porate body under the management
Of twenty-four of their number as
curators, and soon procured a house
of Lexington as the seat of their in
stitution and proceeded to illustrate
the beneficence of their noble enter
prise, which has ever since succeed
ed in its aim of comfort, moral cul-
ture and intellectual development.
In 1868, the managers of the home,
finding their funds inadequate to meet
the demands upon their charity, petit
toned the county court of Payette
county to make an appropriation for
the home. The county court promptly
appropriated $500 and the city Of
Lexington gave $1,000. At the in
stance of the county judge a petition
in equity was filed in the circuit court
in the name of the county for enjoin-
ing the payment Of any portion of the
amount appropriated by the county
court on the ground Of alleged lack of
power to make the contribution. The
circuit court granted a permanent in
junction against the appropriation,
but on appeal this injunction was dis
solved by the supreme court Of the
state.
The supreme court held that the
power of the county court to provide
for the poor is plenary and that the
maintenance of poorhouses is only
a partial fulfllment of the trust and
is only one of many modes adaptable
to the effectuation of the object of
public charity. The court declared
that foundlings and orphans are not
fit subjects of poOrhouses and that it
is to the public interest to maintain,
poor so as to make them moral and
useful citizens.
Why should we doubt" inquiries
the court, that the county court
might organize and maintain an
asylum like that of the appellant,
where minor orphans have been so
trained as to be respectable. moral
and useful men and women, instead of
degraded Wretches as they might
otherwise have been?" We can see
10 room for doubt. And the power
to do the whole work involves and
necessarily implies the auxiliary pow
err to help private charity to secure
the same end in a mode far less bur
densOme to the treasury of the
county.
while the county court has no
authority to give away the money of
the county or to appropriate it even
10 general charity, it certainly has
power to apply it to necessary and
proper means to the end of it's en-
joined duties, and in so using it, it's
power is circumscribed only by a
sound discretion within the scope of
the limited range of taxation
