The Federal Offices.

The removal of the federal court
offices to this city is not matter of
politics, and no paper has the right
to impute such motives to the court.
Politically. they may strengthen the
Republican party here, but the as
tendency of the Republicans in this
city, county and section does not de-
pend on their removal, as all know
who are familiar with the election
returns. And for the benefit of the
Parkersburg Sentinel, which tries to
give political color to the removal of
those Offices, the Telegram states
that il is purely a matter Of right
and convenience for the court and
litigants generally that they should
be here. The Sentinel believes the
marshaI's Office will come to Clarks-
burg. 1t says:
THE assertion of the Clarksburg
Telegram that soon the office of the
U. S. Marshal would he moved from
this city to Clarksburg is no doubt
true. as it is in keeping with the

The Fairmont West virginian
still worries about the school enum-
Grafton of Clarksburg and Fairmont.
If the Telegram should compile the
enumeration to include all of Clarks-
burg's suburbs like the West Virgin
ian is doing at Fairmont, this city
would have about three thousand
more added to the figures of its
school population. And it wouldn't
be necessary to compare Clarksburg-s
present figures with Fairmont's last
year figures either.

Just as soon as the Telegram con-
vinces the Parkersburg papers once
and for all that the office of the
United tastes marshal will be moved
to clarksburg, this paper will give
it's attention to the removal of the
Office of the United States district at
torney to this city. After that is &C
complished, there will be but little
left there except the Ohio river, and.

The Department of Justice at
Washington has the say as to where
the Office Of the United States mar
shall shall be. and, just as soon as
the federal judges here get around
to the matter, the department will,
upon their recommendation, remove
it from Parkersburg to Clarksburg,
and there is every reason to believe
that no special inducements are
needed to persuade the United States
marshal to become a citizen of
Clarksburg and thus lie in close touch
with the two courts.

One Parkersburg paper protesting
against the removal Of the Office Of
the United States marshal from that
city to Clarksburg presumes to say
that that city is the principal place
of doing United States court bust
ness, 1t makes that declaration
that the clerks of the courts have
their offices here and that the judges
themselves are here more than at
Parkersburg. The facts do not bear
out the protest made the Parkersburg
and, therefore, there is really moth
ing tangible to base 1T on.

CIosIng HONE OF saloons.

Inc ordnance now pending before
the city council on the closing hours
of saloons needs revision in some
particulars and the Telegram believes
the council viii agree with this pa
per in that respect as soon as It's at
tention is directed to the matter,
which the Telegram now attempts
to do.
The clause in the ordinance per-
hitting hotel keepers to serve their
guests at all hours of night is GER
tainly wrong, and would lead to a
very undesirable situation, that is to
say, it would mean an arrangement
that would permit selling all day and
all night, unless it be Sunday.
against which there is a strict pro-
vision. The passage of this par
ticular clause might lead to the con-
version of number of saloons into
eating houses under the name Of no
tells, fake hotels one might say, and
all will coneede that to be radically
wrong. Again, the saloonist who
did not establish such fake hotel
or eating house would be discrimin-
ated against in the matter OF license
privilege, as he would have to keep
his place closed during hours Of night
when others were selling whiskeys,
beers, and so on. Yet he pays just
as much license money as the other.
fellows.
The hotel clause Of the ordinance
might also cause infractions of the
Sunday closing law. which no one
wants to happen, and the Telegram
hopes the Sunday observance by the
saloons will be strict.
The majority of the voters here
voted for license, and the city conn
ell to carry out the wishes of these
will grant license, but it must be
done with reasonable restrictions.
The saloonist pays for such privilege
as the city gives him and that privi-
lege should be reasonable. The
State law confers on him certain
rights, with the consent of the city
government. other cities give
saloonists the right to remain open
every night in the week until mid
night. except Sunday, when selling
is prohibited. 1t does appear that
the saloonist in CIarksburg is en-
titled to the same treatment he gets
in other cities of the State, but by
the proposed ordinance, the saloon
list here will have one-hais> hour less
on Saturday night than he does in
other cities. However, this last pro-
vision is wholesome as it is in line
with the policy to have no Sunday
selling. 1t gives the saloonist the
opportunity to have his saloon ready
at Saturday midnight for closed
Sunday. and. thereby, there is no
ground for any chance to violate the
Sunday closing law on the excuse
thdt ne - oeldteu III getting patFOns
all out of the saloon.
The Telegram respectfully asks the
city council that the changes in the
ordinance, as suggested by this paper
be made. and that the hotel keeper
clause be stricken from the ordi-
nance.

& This one OF the fundamental laws
OF conduct is indeed too Obvious, too
well known, too naturally evident to
require seemingly superauous en-
riiasis. Yet some people while ac-
cepting and believing in the general
truth given by the eighth command
ment overlook its applicability in
some instances.
Some are wont to cite extenuat-
ing circumstances that make theft OF
a certain kind justifiable. But an
action that is theft is that and moth
ing else for IL the attendant clrcum-
stances were such as to make steal
ing justifable it would not be theft.

for any one to convict him of wrong

the one who steals two chickens and

Well, If he couldn't steal any

hear some folks say when reading
accounts of thief who has been

If you think differently pick up a
newspaper that carries general news
and scan it. You will not have to
hdnt very long until you find an
article of some man getting into the

Mob Hill to the river, a distance Of six

developing and producing rich ores. This

to come.
Among the producing mines are the

upwards of three millions with the most

A SKI foot vertical shaft is being sunk
on the Honolulu claim and is now down

cuts will be run to intersect the two
veins that traverse the property from
the Honest Miner and Quaker City
mines. Surveyors have been in the
canyon for a week past, making surveys
for the proposed line from Las Vegas

sideration for some time past, and from

lie in this section at a depth of about
$50 feet.
The shaft is down 125 feet at the
present time and the men are making
good Roadway to the 25O-foot level
where the first station will be cut in.
Crescuts will be run at his depth to
the footwall where the best values ap-
pear on the surface, and to ascertain
the width of the ore body. The ore
throughout the shaft is medium grade
with rich streaks, carrying some galena
and copper. The vein pitches about so
degrees. and as the shaft is vertical the
ground will be prospected very thor
oughly while the sinking is being done.
A shoot OF ore carrying fair values in
gold, silver and galena occupied the
shaft for 25 feet and the percentage of
copper is increasing as depth is at
tanned. This together with the galena
gives every indication of a deep seated
deposit.
Al a depth Of so feet the quartz soft
ened considerably, becoming more min
eralized. and the management expect to
encounter another ore body shortly.
Great interest is manifested in the
development of this property, owing to
the fact hat as the values increase in
the shaft, the fact is more fully real
lied that with it's immense vein of ore,
the biggest mine in Nevada will be ex-
celled in size and value.
