The syndicate who own the West
Virginia certificates, under leadership
OF enserprising Jim Mason, have
made formal move upon the Virgin
ia Legislature. The modest request
OF these spectators, who have invest
ed few thousand dollars in the
hopes of many millions, is that the
State of Virginia shall undertake by
suit to force settlement between
them and West Virginia. They are
kind enough to guarantee that the
State of Virginia, in putting herself
forward in West Virginia affairs,
shall be put to no cost and incur no
liability. The West Virginia certif-
Gates are an offspring of the old fund
ing bill of 1871, long since repudiat
ed by the State. 1t would place the
State in very pretty attitude before
the Supreme Court for the State at
the solicitation of these schemers to
seek to force upon West Virginia the
provisions of settlement that she
had repudiated as to herself. The
sensible people of Virginia don't care
fig whether West Virginia settles
her debt or not. 1t remains for her
people to settle their Indebtedness in
the same sovereign fashion that the
State of Virginia has settled hers.
Great would be the Indignation Of
Virginians if West Virginia, to fur
Their the schemes of certain stock
iobbers, had formally interfered in
any of our debt settlements. Tt may
safely be predicted that these people
will receive no encouragement at the
hands of this or any future Legisla-
ture. But this will not prevent Jim
Mason from paying us biennial ''visi-
tations" with fresh supply of ire
sistible facts, as long as the afore-
said Jim believes that legislators can
be made the prey of his fascinating
qualities. Honest Jim Mason and
his nice little bill must be regarded
as a permanent institution in which
two great States can claim an inter

Raining wild Duck.

The Savannah NeaOs says: Eighty
wild ducks we're picked up during
one night recently at the base ofthe
lighthouse on Anastacia Island. In
their Needless southern flight in adj
vance or the northern blizzard they
were unable to steer clear of the tall
tower, and were killed outright by
the contact. 1t is no uncommon
thing for the lighthouse keepers to
pick up dozen or more ducks in
one night, but the last score beats
all former records"

New York Tribune.
Mr.. James G. Blaine has much
popularity. No man could have
brought larger amount of ability
and experience to the Presidency of
the United Stated. - Ne,o York
World.
And he is just as popular, just as
able, and just as experienced as he
ever was, while in the matter of pluck
and cheerful content With his lot in
life, he is without a peer When
things go wrong, his courage and
spirit rise to meet the occasion.
When they go right, he smothers his
citation in philosophy. He is really a
wonderful man, and occupies big
corner in the admiration and regard
of millions of his fellow citizens.

made for the information of the ignorant
Americans Americans are powerless to
send anyone to represent them except a ma

vided on party lines, and the Democratic
and Republican feeling is as intense among
those citizens alien in language as among
our own people.
To an American nothing can be more abb
surd than to see the platforms erected in the
plaza of the New Mexican town and the
orators yell for "El Coronel Rynerson" if
they be Republicans and for GEL Senior An

Many interesting and profound
speeches are looked for in the debate
which will soon arise in the Senate
ON the refusal of the President to
give his reasons" for making remov-
ais and appointments. The Senators
of both parties are preparing for the
debate, and it is expected that there
will be more speeches delivered on
this subject than on any question
that has arisen for years, certainly
since Andrew Johuson's term. The
question really is what is meant by
the provision Of law that the ''Presi-
dent shall appoint by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate. y
The speeches when compiled will
constitute an exhaustive exposition
of that great constitutional question
and it is thought that there will be
many demands for copies by libraries
and individuals from all parts ofthe
country.

soudanese learning How to Fight.

The last battle at Kosheh showed that the
Soudanese were armed with Remington
rifles, and that they also had breech-loading
cannon, and knew how to manage their
batteries. Further, they seem to have
abandoned their old tactics of making
attacks en- masse, and have learned to fight
in dispersed attachments. Their military
training is explained by the fact that at

belonged to the. Egyptian army are now
