Our contemporary mentions these
facts connected with the industry Of

view OF the howl that is raised in many
quarters against free wool. 1t "does
not think that those who shear the
wool from the live beast or those who
pull it from the pelt, will have cause to
regret the new departure. and quotes
one Of the most prominent wool men
in Chicago, who declares that he would
be glad to see wool on the free list, aud
that the experiment should be given
fair trial. The wool business has been
tarif-tinkered for many years, and wool
has steadily declined in value. The
wooden manufacturers, with the mar
kets of the world at their disposal, will
be able by their ingenuity and ability
to achieve unexpected trinmphs and
successes. Free wool has made the
leather industry Of the United States
the foremost in the world. Why should
not free wool operate in the same way
with the wool and wooden industry
The premises in both cases are exact
ly parallel.

Anotber Hold Up at Benuood.

Late last Monday night George Fitz-
gerald, Frank Geraghty, Luke Taylor
and John Thomas, Benwood young
men, were returning home. When
near the Bellaire bridge one fellow
issued from behind box car and said
he had reinforcements behind the car,
and the best thing for the young men
to do was to hold Up their hands.
FITZGERALD elevated his hands aud asked
that he be spared, Just then several
workmen came up the tracks and scared
the fellow who had the boys held up,
away. That section is proving the best
locality for thieves and buns in this
section. Benwood authorities are now
keeping special watch of the place.

TIE vIReINIA DEBT.

AA4 NA-A1AeNAA JEDI
We have received an open letter from
Governor MACCoRKLE on the subject Of
the Virginia debt question, that ad-
vances new argument in behalf Of
West Virginia. The Governor holds
that according to the original agree
ment and apportionment Of the debt
Of Virginia whenthe State was d.
yided and when West Virginia was
made a separate State, the latter to-day
is not debtor but a creditor OF Vir-
ginia to the extent Of over half q mil
lion Of dollars.
West Virginia, the Governor argues,
has no just share OF the debt Of
Virginia prior to 1861. Virginia's
debt was then. in round numbers,
Ss1, 900, 900. The counties which low
com pose West Virginia had previously
contributed. clear, nearly S4,OOO,O 600 and
the expenditures within them by Vir-
ginia from 1922, the date of the first
issue OF Virginia bonds, was over half
q million OF dollars less, leaving, not
West Virginia in Virginia's debt but
really Virginia in West Virginia's debt
to that amount.
Gov. MACCoRKLE quotes the original
agreement to show that his position
cannot be controverted in law, that
West Virginia. according to the origi.
.ss-asEssnent, owes no portion Of the
Virginia debt, but on the contrary, that
the mother State owes West Virginia
S525, O7O71.
The Governors statement Of the case
is. on its face, clear and apparently in
disputable, but the REGISTER is not
prepared to endorse it without further
advice.
Many Of the most eminent lawyers in
the country have examined this matter
thoroughly and dissected every point
with legal microscopes in West Virgin
las behalf and it has been generally
coacededed that this State owes
portion Of the original debt
OF Virginia contracted before the d.
vision Of territory, though what that
portion is is still o matter Of dispute.
Tt certainly is nothing like the amount
arbitrarily shOuldered onto West Vir-
ginia by the mother State.
tits equally certain that that there is
nosuch thing as valid "West Virginia
Debt Certificate" It is true, also, that
London and Wall street spectators
have Oeen victimizing investors by
peddling them in the market,
and it may be, as Governor
MAoCoRKLE seems to show, that
West Virginia has been the in
tended victim Of one Of the most gigan-
tic conspiracles on record But without
judicial decision on the points advanced
by Gov. MAcCoRKLE the question must
remain in Statu guo. Certain it is that
West Virginia will not repudiate what
ever proportion OF the Virginia debt she
may justly really owe.

EvEOrrTTN-E CuAAfDER.

This state.
STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA,
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
CHARLESTON, November 2S, 1898.
Editor Philadelphia Record, PhiladeI-
Dbtd, Pa;
For some time the newspapers OF the
country have been teeming with state
ments concerning the 'West Virginia
Debt" A statement 10 reference there
10 recently appeared in your columns.
The statements are generally to the ei-
feet that q powerful financial Organiza-
tlOn has undertaken TO settle the
"West Virginia State Debt" These
statements work vast injury to our
State. The inference is that we owe a
debt that We will not, or cannot, pay.
That such an organization has been eff
fected is borne out by the statements
above mentioned as well as by repeated
demands for information madehpon
this Office.
This organization is composed OF the
owners Of part OF the old Virginia
debt, aud its effort is TO saddle upon
West Virginia the incubus Of a State
debt.
Every interest Of our Statehood de-
mands that we should repel even the
suspicion Of a State debt with its ruin
Gus and blighting taxation and the in
separable and burdensOme accOmpani-
ments of & State debt. The State OF
West Virginia neither in law nor equity
owes any debt
A brief statement of the question
will enable this to be seen.
In April. 1861, the State OF Virginia
seeded. IN June, 1861, the convention
for the reorganization Of Virginia met
in Wheeling, and in August adopted
IAN ordinance to provide for the fOrma-
ti0n Of new STATE out Of portion OF
the territory of this State" The ninth
section OF this ordinance provided that
THE new State shall take upon itself
a just proportion Of the public debt OF
the Commonwealth Of Virginia prior 20
the first day of January, 1861,
to be ascertained by charging
to IL all State expenditures within the
limits thereto; and a jusS proportion Of
the ordinary expenses Of the State gov
ernment since any part of the debt was
contracted; and deducting therefron
the monies paid into the treasury Of the
commonwealth from the counties in
cluded within the said new State during
the same period.
This ordinance was a fundamental
and organic stipulation prescribed by
Virginia for our separation from her
and upon compliance herewith the peo-
pie within the counties now known as
West Virginia were authorized to form
a Constitution. The people acting un-
der the provisions Of the Ordinance
above mentioned, accordingly did form
a constitution, and carrying out the
conditions OF the Ordinance, provided
in section eight of the Constitution
that
Gan equitable proportion Of the pub
tic debt of the Commonwealth Of Vir-
giuia prior TO the first day of January
1861, shall be assumed by this State;
and that the Legislature shall ascertain
the same as soon as may be practicable,
and provide for the liquidation thereof
by a sinking fund sufficient to pay the
accruiug interest and redeem the prin-
cipal within thirty-four years"
repeat that the clause first above
referred to is an absolutely organic
stipulation, the very basis OF our au-

One OF the greatest disc overies ever

first trium phal performance OF Mozart's

no sparks had igni,ed anything CON-

he had three things in his hand-a polish
whetstone, which he had purchased for
sharpening razors; a ticket stamp, still
moiSened with printing ink, and check
on the treasurer of the theatre for his
weekly salary. As he placed the latter
upon the table, gust OF wind swept it
high up in his room, and then deposited
IL in the basin filed with water. Senne.

could and then weighed it down with

When he returned to his room the fol-
