After the Trial.

Washington, April 1.-THE YER
diet of the jury awarding Miss Pol
lard Sl5, coo damages in her SUIT
against Congressman Breckenridge
has affected the principals IN the
cas-. somewhat differently. Miss
Pollard, who bore the strain we'll
during the trial, broke down when
the verdict was announced and Is
now suffering from nervous prostra-
ton.
breckenridge has only been made
more defiant By the verdict. His
political managers announce that he
will return to Kentucky within tw"
weeks and will open an active cam
pairn at Paris. Toe Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union here has
adopted resolutions asking Congress
to investigate his character and as
certain If he be morally eligible to
membership in the House.
Miss Pollard is said to have re-
ceived many lucrative offers from
theatrical managers 10 20 on the
stage, but has declined all.

THE CARNEGIE ARM0R PLATES.

HECARNEGIE ARMORPLATES.
The discovery that Americas big
battle ships are sheathed in defective
armor turned out by Andrew Car
negie at his Plttsburg steel works
ought to set people thinking little.
Carnegie comes from the British
Isles and high Republican protec-
tive tariff invited him to come over
here and start his factories. he
brought some capital and lot of
foreign workmen and the increase
OF capital which has been enormous
he invests in castles in Scotland.
1t would be supposed that the
making of armor plates to put on
ships Of American build, expected to
maintain the honor of the United
States on the sea would be intrusted
to an American who would neces-
sarily have little patriotism to
mingle with his business
But Carnegie had no patriotism IN
the matter at all, and was probably
governed mostly by the idea that it
would be hardly the square thing by
the flag of St. George to provide
armor for American ships of sufiic-
lent strength to withstand the fire OF
British guns.
SO it came about that the biggest
ships in the American navy are cased
in defective armor which can be
smashed with a good-sized sledge
hammer.
What natural shame it would
have been had some of these ships
gone down before the fire of English
guns and sacrificed some of nation 5
best lives along with nation 5
honor.
Americans are astounded that the
work of armoring our men-of-war
should be intrusted to such sources,
but when one comes to consider that
America allows Lombard street to
dictate its financial policy, it is not
surprising that England should also
take hand in building our navy.
Ever since the United States fol-
lowed Washington into the field OF
battle to fight for liberty, 1t has had
its foes in Camp to dispose of, Eng
land always had its agents here
working for our obstruction by dark
aud secret means. In the war OF
1912 it was the same. In the big
civil war England aided and abetted
the South to overthrow the Union.
In 1873 it sent its agents to this
country to demonetize silver. This
was the greatest blow 1t ever dealt
the United States. In 1873 it die
tated how we should coin our money
regulating the weight and compo-
sition of our currency and now IN
1894 it dictates the strength and
thickness of the armor on our battle
ships. In the light of these events
it is not strange that any man IN his
sober senses will cling to a party that
tolerates such state Of affairs, Yet
we find plenty of people, and seems
ingly intelligent people who are will
ing to endorse such work by steadily
voting for political organizations that
tolerate it.

Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie.

Thanksgiving PumPkin re.
To the mind prejudiccd against pie
in any and all OF its seductive and ben
eticent forms it would be useless to sub
init any reason why pumpkin pie
should hold an honored place at the
feast of Thanksgiving. For such \
mind there is no real Thanksgiving. and
so it need not be taken into account.
Contrary to all that has bean said,
and in spite OF all that may be said by
dyspeptic writer's on dyspepsia, all pie
is good provided it be produced by an
artist. With this saving clause the
only difference in pie Is that some pie
is better than other pie. For a place at
the Thanksgiving table no pie is equal
to pumpkin pie.
Between the turkey and the pumpkin
pie there is certain affinity, which in
deed does not lend itself readily to
cumulative or qualitative ANALYSIS, but
it is there. Unless the pumpkin pie be
in its place OF honor, ready TO come on
in it's turn, the turkey is quick to show
a sense OF neglect.
The turkey has been in this business
for long time. He has grown up with
the Thanksgiving institution. He
knows what is aud what is not good
form. Pumpkin pie is strictly good
form for the Thanksgiving spread.
Isit right to butcher the unoftending
turkey to make national holiday aud
in his last moments on earth refuse
him the comforting presence of his
pumpkin pie? As we'll give Bedouin
Arab whole desert and no horse, and
expect him to DO happy. So here's a
health to pumpkin pie, and a health to
them that eat i'll

WHEELING. NOVEMBER 30, 1894.
Tho Virginia Debt Question.

From the Richmond Dispatch We get
fuller report of the first meeting OF
the commission to take up the debt
question, of which meeting brief &C.
count came by telegraph. This COM
mission is authorized by the Legislature
of Virginia to negotiate with West Vir-
ginia settlement aud adjustment OF
the proportion of the public debt OF the
original state of Virginia proper to be
borne by West Virginia.
The amount originally set aside by
Virginia as West Virginia's proper por-
tion, together with suudry increments,
is now about sl7.oOO0OO. OF course,
West Virginia does not in equity owe,
aud will never pay, any such amount.
But this can make no great difference
to Virginia, for she has settled with her
creditors and is not to be required to
pay the difference between any sum
that may be paid by West Virginia and
the impossible sum ofSl7.oO0,o0o. The
old state was never willing to move in
the matter until she had protected her.
self thoroughly on this vital point.
From what was said at the meeting
OF the Virginia commission in Rich
mond it is inferred that the matter in
some form is to be laid before West Vir-
GINA at the coming session OF the legis-
lature. For the credit OF this state it
will not do to say that West Virginia
owes nothing, and let it go at that A
West Virginia commission, in 1871,
found that this state owed little less
than 100000.
II tho matter now comes before the
state in any proper form it should be
taken up. West Virginia cannot afford
to place herself in the position OF dodg-
ing the question. She has insisted
from the first that If she owed anything
she was ready to pay it, and that she
was ready at any time to go into the
question.
The governor and the legislature may
be expected to meet this as they would
any other business proposition. on its
merits and with regard TO the interests
of the state. Nothing that casts dis.
honor on the state can be to its advan-
tage.
