THE DEBT OF WEST VIRGINIA
WHAT SENATOR DAVIS SAID, AND WHAT HE OMITTED

fBY TELEGBAPB TO THE TRIBUSEl
WASHINGTON, May 3.-SenatOr Davis, Of West
Virginia, whose famous investigation of the ae-
counts Of the Treasury Department showed what
kind of financial genius he possesses read 70 the
Senate to-day long and remarkably dull discourse
to prove that the people of West Virginia are
anxious TO pay their share of the State debt Of old
Virginia "a soon the proper amount can be ascer-
tanned. Mr. Davis began his speech with a COM
plant against General Malone, who, he asserted
brought the subject Of debt and repudiaticn in the
South before this body" The fact is that General
Mahones colleague the Bourbon Senator Johnston
opened the discussion of that subject and got more
than he and his party associates bargained for OF
desired.
Senator Davis of course. declared that the
Democratic party is West Virginia mas
always been eager to pay the debts inherited by tha
State from Virginia. The facts in the case when
Senator Davis sought TO explain away by multi
tude Of words are very easy to understand. The
State Constitution of West Virginia, framed in
1s61J62 by Republican Constitutional Conven-
ton, contained the following section:
An equitable proportion Of public debt Of the Com
mOnwealth OF Virginia prior 10 tho lst day OF January
shall ascertain the soon 0s may be practcanle
and provide for the liquidation thereof by sinking e III
sufficient pay fhe accrung interest and redeem the
principal within thirty -four years
In 1872 a new State Constitution was framed by
a Democratic Constitutional Convention, when
took good to omit the above proyision, and 70
put nothing in its place Senator Davis admitted
that nothing had been done, since the Democrats
had obtained control of the State ten years ago.

vide any means TO pay the interest upon II. lroba-

of interest shall amount 20 a sufficient sum, the

olina Georgia and other Southern States, did with
the debts of those States.
Senator Camden, Of West Virginia, made q few
remarks 10 supplement what his colleague hed sad
and then the drcary and tresOme proceedings when
appeared to interest nobody except the West NH-
ginia Senator'S were terminated by an adjournment
to allow the Republican caucus an opportunity 10

The Educational People Hold Their
Monthly Conference and Discussion.
The monthly meeting of the teachers
of the public schools was held in the class
room of the High school yesterday fore
noon. In addition to the large number
of teachers present, there were in attend
ance Inspectors Lineau, Kerr, Abbott and
Gilbert of the school board 80 +.
The subject of drawing in the, public
schools was first taken up, being Illus
trated by Prof. Bond. A resolution was
passed expressing the opinion of all pres
ent that some system of instructive draw
ing should be adopted in grades from the
third to eighth A committee of ten was
appointed, with the superintendent as
chairman, to examine the different sys-
TENS of instructive drawing and report
the best system to the board.
Mr.. Bryant and Inspector Lienau spoke
in favor of drawing and compliihenteC
the work of 800 pupils, as displayed by
Mr. Bond, and the average age being
eleven years. 3 Il,
Prof Smith offered resolution in fa-
vor of raising the standard of promo.
ton in certain departments of study
with the view of inculcating greater pro-
ficiency in branches hitherto partially
| neglected. The resolution was adopted
An entertaining address was then Civ
en- by Prof. Baker, on the subject of elo-
cution. In speaking of the methods Of
| intoxicating elocutlon, he thought that g
special teacher should be employed fol
this study. In regard to emphasis, he
thought that the more important the
idea conveyed by the word, the more
pronounced should the emphasis or anun-
| citation. tai
He considered vocal culture one of the
best aids to elecution from the fact thai
it induced command of the lungs. Ar
analysis of the rules of elocution was
given as bearing on the art of expression
and some very able reflections were laid
| down as to the best means of teaching
infexion, pitch, and other aids to the
voice. 3sf
| Supt Wright thought the pupil should
| first be made to appreciate the selection
| national understanding of the subject
should be had if at the expense Of arbi-
| trary methods. ,,s
+ Mrs. Haynes, of the High school, spoke
briefly of her class in literature, the re-
searches of which have resulted in such
marked success. '.-
To illustrate her methods of teaching
several of the pupils were called upon tt
read selections. -
Mr.. John Love spoke of the writings O.
Dean Swift, with special reference to his
''Travels of CULVER" To properly ap
preciate the work of this or any othel
| author, the speaker thought that cor
rect knowledge must first be obtained O.
the personal life of the writer, whose suf
ferings and triumphs were often reflected
in his books
Selections were also read on the sub
jects of art and mythology.
The art of letter writing was also illus
trated by young lady member of tht
class, who read an admirable composition
on the subject of Garfield as schoo
teacher.

That Fourth Street Se,ccr.
To the Editor of the Globe.

10 the EC1JOr OF Cne GlODc.
Among the items of old settlers rem
iniscences about jackson street ravine, in
your Friday mornlng?s issue, there ,ap-
pears one from Judge Goodrich, stating
that he had to sell his corner lot to pay the
assessment for sewer that was built on
the ice in winter, for the benefit of tie
contractors.
Now for the true story: Judge Good
rich did not sell the corner lot on Fourth
and Jackson streets, nor any lot to pay
for the assessment of building that icy
sewer, because the sewer has not been
paid for from that day till this, and if it
had been paid for, it would not be at
Judge Goodrich's expense, but at the
expense of the city Nor was the sewer
built upon ice, because it was not built
in winter. Nor did ice ever accumulate
in the ravine 1t was only two or three
times year that nature utilized it.
In fifty-seven the subscriber was trot-
ted out against Judge Goodrich for the
constitutional convention and defeated
the judge. The judge not thinking all
was lost, gets certain alderman (whose
name I forbear to mention, because he is
dead J with himself to assail me with the
assurance that my claim for building the
sewer (which was five hundred dollars)
would be paid by the city, if l would de-
cline serving as delegate to the conven-
ton and let the judge, who was defeated
at the polls, take his seat | refused to
comply; therefore then the sewer is not
paid for, but remains blot on the
city from that day to this
