About that Debt

The Baltimore Netrs has followed
in the footsteps of its contemporary
the Sun, in the discussion of the Yir-
ginia state debt job. 1t speaks of
"the settlement of the West Virginia
debt as contamination devoutly TO
be wished" 1t also falls into the
error of the Sun in saying the debt
of Virginia "was largely incurred in
behalf Of West Virginia" The Mems
also hopes "the debt of West Virgin
ia will soon be satisfactorily settled"
The Parkersburg Sentinel now goes
on to say that "there is no West Vir-
ginia debt, there never WAS one, and
the creation of one is prohibited by
our state constitution, hence the
proposition so earnestly advanced by
both the Ne,cs and the Sun has no
foundation in morals or law. The
old state has said that West Virginia
owes one third OF her ante bellum
debt, and has arbitrarily set apart
that much of it for US to pay, or set
tie. If it were conceded that West
Virginia was liable for any portion
of Virginia's debt it would not be
such sum as Virginia should APP
portion to this state, but would nee.
essarily be such an amount as might
be agreed upon by the two states.
During his term as governor, J.
b. Jackson made the state debt qnes-
ton the subject of a special message
to the legislature, and after full
and fair discussion of the question
he declared that West Virginia owed
no debt. The legislature gave it's
approval to the same opinion and en-
.dorsed it. 1t should be understood
that monster job is behind the
movement to create a West Virginia
debt, and it is not certain that it
will not be a success

Birthday Party.

An entertaining birthday party was
given at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Foster Williams, near Triune, by their
son, Ira G. Williams, he having then
reached the Dist anniversary OF his
birth. The guests spent the evening
very pleasantly in various social ways
and did full justice to the choice
yiands prepared for their especial feast
ing upon, after which the young host
was presented with many valuable and
useful gifts brought him in commem-

THE LAND OF SUNSHINE.
A Unique Country where the Skies are
almost Never CIOuded, while the
air is Cool and Bracing,
like Perpetual Spring.

As an anomalous southern resort,
by reason of the fact that there one
may escape summer heat no less than
winter cold, New Mexico is rapidly be-
coming famous. Averaging through
out the entire territory 5, 900 feet in
altitude above sea-level, and charac-
terized by dry air which, unlike a
humid atmosphere, is incapable of
communicating heat, the temperature
in midsummer remains at delight
fully comfortable degree through the
day, and at night becomes invariably
brisk and bracing. The sunshine is
almost constant, yet the most violent
out-of-door exertion may be undertake
en- without fear of distressful conse-
quences. Sunstroke or prostration
are absolutely unknown there. 1t is
an ideal land for summer outing.
Its climate is prescribed by reputable
physicians as specific for pulmonary
complaints, and the medicinal Hot
Springs at Las Vegas are noted for
their curative virtues. The most
sumptuous hotel in the west, the
Montezuma, is located at these springs.

Sunshine, "an entertaining and pro-
fusely illustrated book descriptive of
this region, the most picturesqu and
romantic in the United States.

The Game OfFoot Ball.

The annual football discussion in
the newspapers is now going on.
There is reason in roasting eggs, and
and so is there in foot ball. The
Duke of Wellington said that the
battle of Waterloo was won at Elton
and Rugby. Physical health and
strength is at least as important "a
a mental education. The two can
and should go together. Every
school should encourage manly
sports, and if they are little rough,
to engage in them is not a bad prep
aration for the rough-a tumble
battle of life. But these sports have
their proper place and limits, and
should be kept within them. To ar
que that foot ball and rough games
should be prescribed because some
get hurt in them would be as unrea-
sonable as to prescribe study and
mental work because some students
study too hard and ruin their health.
1t is the foolish eXtreme-the rowdy-
ism of sport-that should be avoid

Business improvement.

The leading financial weeklies in
closing their trade reviews for last
week note slow but steady improve
ment in business conditions. In
fact it has been going on since the
repeal of the Sherman law. That
was the first step needed, and the
allimportant one to restore conf
dence. 1t stopped the purchase Of
silver and the virtual payment of
gold therefor. That is the simple
story. While there is large accession
to the bank deposits and reserves,
there is still timidity in making
loans. 1t is in that respect that con
fidence needs to he strengthened,
but no doubt is expressed that it will
come in time.
Will the recovery of enterprise be
painfully slow or rapid? Opinions
differ, but the New York Financial
Chronicle inclines to the opinion
that the recovery will be prompt.
1t notes the fact that while there
have been big failures there is not a
general insolvency. The mercantile
and financial classes have shown
great strength. The iron industry
AN index of business tendencies
day by day seems to be showing
greater signs of life. After tariff re-
vision, and the manufacturers find
they have not been injured by the
changes, it is reasonable to look for
period of great activity and pros
perity. In all branches OF trade and
commerce old stocks have been
drawn on until used up and there
has been no replenishment beyond
absolute necessity. There has been
a general liquidation and close econ
omy. The Financial Chronicle says
that by the middle of January evil
dences of better conditions will begin
to multiply in preparations for the
spring business and will increase
rapidly in later months. Repeal has
put our finances on solid basis.
Tho conditions -, E,,nno nrJ tb;a
country are not dissimilar. France
has $75,000,000 more legal tender
silver currency than we have, but
has the advantage of $4,000, 600
more gold. We can take care of our
silver just as easily as France. The
balance of trade with foreign nations
has changed in our favor. For the
first three months of the fiscal year
our exports have exceeded imports
$40, 1000, 900 while last year imports
exceeded exports by $20,000,000 for
the same months, making gain of
$60,000,000 This is encouraging.
The delicate point is the excess of
government expenses over revenues,
but this will change with revival
of business. The flow of customs
taxes and internal revenue taxes is
an unerring index of business condi-
tions.

they need it. Then why postpone or

Old School Etiquette.

The Rule of Civility," published
in 1857, is not without interest, as
the following question shows;
81 is unhandsome among ladies,
or any other serious company, to
throw off ones coat, TO pull off ope's
peruke, to clean ones nails, to tie
ones garter, to change ones shoes
if they pinch, to call for ones slip
pers to be easy, TO sing between the
teeth or to drum with ones fingers.
1t is too juvenile and light when in
the company ofladies to play with
them, toss or tumble them, to force
away their hoods, fans or cuffs.
"In eating the writer cautions
his readers, "observe that your hands
be clean. Dip not your fingers in
the foods nor lick them when you
have done eating. If you have oc-
casion to sneeze or cough, hold your
napkin before your face. Drink not
with your mouth full nor unwiped,
nor until you are forced to breathe

A Slow Reform

All important reforms move slowly
and the work of overturning settled
habits should not be discouraged if
the public does not at once respond
to efforts at and recognize the value
of the work of needed reform. There
is no reason to expect that road re-
form will receive different treatment
from other important public move
ments. In order to arouse the people
of Monongalia, as well as those of
other counties, to the Importance of
good roads, two things are essential.
The costliness of bad roads must be
demonstrated so that all can under
stand just what bad road costs
each farmer or other rural resident
in dollars and cents, and how many
dollars and cents he could save by
having the road which leads from
his farm to town, to mill, to the rail
road, or wherever he does his trad
ing, graded and macadamized The
people also need to be taught that
roadmaking is science. An un
skilled man is just as incapable of
constructing a wagon road as he is
of constructing railroad, with its
cuts and fills, its bridges and tunnels.
A man with knowledge of the bust
ness must be secured if road making
that makes roads good is ever to be
done in this county. When people
are aroused, and learn the two es-
sentials named above, then they as
well as the New DOMINION will clam
or for good roads. Probably they
know by this time the Costumes of
bad roads. If so it is time to en-
ploy first-class road engineer for
this county.

improvement in October outside of
