Something Doing.

The MacCorkle-chilton organ has
the following significant editorial:
"The people of the state are won7
dering why Hon. John T. McGraw.

ecutive committee, called a meeting
of that committee at his time. Watt
and see. There may be a lot
business to transact, which interests
the party"
The Gazette, from which the above
was taken, speaks rather strangely,
somewhat uncertainty. but may have
some inside information. May 1t
not be possible, the opposition to Nc
Graw has forced him to call this
meeting? 1t is more probable. how
ever that 1t was scheme of his own
to get a lot OF Democrats together
to bring pressure on the Democratic
members Of the legislature to give
him the senatorial nomination.
Again, 1t Is not wholly unreasonable
to assume that the meeting was for
the purpose of handing in his resig-
nation, since he knows he was might
lily up against It.

The State administration has the
Democratic papers mp tree. There
is scarcely a thing that such papers
say is going to happen that ever does
happen. But. those papers are not
much worried about that. What
bothers them so greatly is the fact
that the State administration is
keeping It's pledges in looking after
the interests of the people. They
are also worried over the fact that
the people in general believe in the
State administration. Why worry?
Certainly, every paper ought to con-
slider the peoples interests and be
friendly to those interests. Even
Democratic papers ought to be. II
they care at all to be useful to their
community and State.

Some of the Charleston papers
seem to deplore the fact that the
lobbyists this year at the legislature
are conspicuous because OF their alb
sence. Why not rejoice over the
fact and have a general jubilee
throughout the State? But, possibly
that would be contrary to the plans
of the Charleston newspaper men,
who are always looking for some
thing to eiongate their correspond
ence string.

Expert Hills Report.

Every man with any spirit of en-
terprise at all believes in building
not for the present alone but for the
future as well. This applies to the
proposition by the Board of Trade
to bond Clarksburg for improve
ments, which are but part of what
Clarksburg needs. The Board gives
its entire attention to a water sys-
tenn, when even the streets are equal
ly important. But, in building for
! the future even in reference to the
water works, It startles the resi-
dents to read the report of the expert
which places the Improvement Of the
system at nearly half million dol
lars in cost This mans at even as
low rate as four per cent. that $780,
600 a year must be raised to pay
the interest on the bonded Indebted
ness. Twenty thousand dollars is a
very big slice off the revenue loaf
of the city each year. Besides the
principal of the bonds must be paid
in time. This principal running
fifty years would mean an annual
payment of ten thousand dollars u
year. SO that the annual amount to
pay out each year under such condi-
tons would be thirty thousand dol
lars.
Unless the revenues derived from
water rents exceed this amount suf-
ficiently to pay the expense of opera
ton and necessary repairs as they
are needed, It can be readily seen
that there VIII be constant draft
on the general fund. and with thar
other features OF public improve
ment must suffer as a consequence.
This leads to some extent at least to
the belief that 1t is not practicable to
bond clarksburg for half million
dollars and doubtless many viii so
argue.
The report, however. furnishes
basis for discussion and thought and
may be the means finally OF such ac-
tion, whether It be by bonds or some
other method, OF bringing the water
system more uptodate and placing It
upon more paying basis.
No citizen of Clarksburg should
neglect to read the report and give
It unprecedented thought. That
there is need Of an improved water
system but few. If any. will deny,
but the question is how shall II be
brought about?
The subject is one that the coun-
ell, together with the Board of
Trade, and all citizens Of Clarks-
burg should study very carefully be-
fore definite line Of action is TAX
Ell. II 1t is found the best thing to
do, TO bond the city for half mil
lion dollars. of course, IT should be
done. but there are a great many
who will hesitate to have such an
enormous debt contracted. Indeed.
That amount Is startling and Will
scarcely meet with favor.
There is no adverse criticism to
make of the report so far as the
Telegram has observed It, except as
to the cost set forth for the inn
provements. Expert Hill has GER
tainly gone into detail and given an
exhaustive report. 1t shows that he
thoroughly knows his business, but
can the report be adopted and made
adjustable to the finances OF the
city? That is the important ques-
ton that must be fully determined
before the report can be converted
into an actually. The figures win
