The West Virginia Legislature
will probably have to meet the
old debt question again at the
next session. A Republican leg
islature has met this question on
other occasions and handled it
to the entire satisfaction OF every
taxpayer. West Virginia does
not owe the debt that is claimed
by Virginia and it will be long
time before she will elect legis-
lature that will view the question
otherwise.

the question otherwise,

LAST week the TELEGRAM
urged the Republicans of the
county to attend the primaries
and take part in the selecting of
delegates to the convention on
the Both. 1t should be the aim
of the delegates to the county
convention to carefully consider
the claims of every citizen and
keep in view of the fact that
what is done must be in the in.
terest of party success. No mans
personal ambition should be con-
sidered before the success of the
Republican party. Let US have

The new railroad from Browns
vile to Clarksburg will be built
in the near future. At least that
is the view taken by the leading
men of Morgantown who have
been closely watching the pro-
gress of events. The only reason
the work isdelayed ison account
of the suit by Harrison county
people to stay off the issuing of
bonds which we're voted several
years ago for the purpose. The
entire right OF way has been Sc
cured and many options taken on
coal and mineral lands lying
along the route. The suit has
been decided IN favor Of the rail.
road by Judge Hagans and the
road will be put through imme-
diately, and Harrison county will
be required by the decision to pay
her bonds.

NO HURRY ABOUT IT.

If the Southern or any other railroad
wants to lease the Atlantic and North
Carolina railroad. the Legislature VIII
meet i'll less than Il year.
No set Of directors, appointed for 4
short term. have the moral right to
grant Il long lease Of railroad property
without submitting it to the peoples
representatives..
The air is full or rumors OF Il lease of
the Atlantic and North Carolina rail
road to the Southern Railway. We are
not saying whether such Il lease would
or would not he wise. We do say that
any lease to amy parties in Il hurry,
without advertising for bids. aud with
out submitting it to the Legislature,
would be condemned by the people, and
that it ought to be condemned by them.
The people are sovereign. Trustees or
directors are agents to care for the
property when the sovcreigns rcprescn-
tatiyes cannot he in active control. l.
equity they nave no right to grant Il
lease for a long term without the APP
prevail Of those for whom they are act
ing.
Governor Jarvis would not have dared
sell or lease, the WeSterA railroad with
ont the assent of the Legislature. Ii
there is any pressing reason for lcas-
ing the Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad before the next Legislature, il
would be better to have an extra session
of the Legislature than to lease with.
out tire approval of the peoples represen
i~atiyes.
But there is no pressing need. Han
cocks conduct ought to secure his dis
missal without getting rid of hin
through Il lease. That would smacl

ferred by Act Of 1881.

Washington. d. c.. Feb. 5.-Goyernor
Hoadlcy was in consultation with the
Attorney General to-day upon the sub
iect of the foreclosures against the
Kansas Pacific Railroad. 1t has been
decided by the Department of Justice
that the government will exercise the
power conferred upon the President 10y
of the first mortgage bOndhOlderS upOn
the western and middle divisions re
spectively and become subrogated UNI
der the law to their rights. h will
make the government the owner Of both
the first and second lens upon these di-
visions of the road. An application will
be made to Judge SanbOrn ut St. Louis
next Saturday for leave to redeem, for
Il p-OStponement of the sales of the road
which are now advertised to take place
on February Is, II. and Is, and for the
appointment Of a receiver in the gov
suit to operate the railroad for
the benefit of its liens. The present re-
ceivers are operating the road under the
suit of the third mortgage bOndhOlders
commonly called the consolidated mort
gage. BY this means it is expected that
the immediate sale Of the property will
be deferred and that the government will
have more opportunity to negotiate for
Il better price than has been offered by
the reorganization COMMITTEE which now
controls the first mortgages. and in the
meantime the benefits of the profitable
operation of the road, if 1T continues to
be p~roftably managed, Will under the
receiver appointed III the government
suit be to the advantage Of the govern

Notices of the application to be made
next Saturday have been served by telc-
gram upon the reorganization commit
tee and upon the counsel of the respec-
five underlying mortgages. Ample III
tlOrity for this action on the part of
the government is conferred by the act
Of March ;, 1887, which provides shat
whenever. III the opinion of h PrCSi-
dent. 1T shall be deemed necessary to the
protection of the governments interest

retary OF the Treasury is required to re-
deem CIR otherwise clear off the para
mount lien or mortgage by paying the
sums lawfully due out Of the Treasury.
The amount which Will be necessary
to pay the first lien holders in this case
Is something over $1,000. 900. the same
amount which the government would
have been compelled to pay them had
it acquired title under the pending sale.
The situation of the government IS re-
gardcd by Attorney General GriggS. who
advised the present course, and other
leading officials are greatly improved
thereby. and it is now expected that
Judge Sanborn under tine circumstances,
Will willingly consent to q poStpOnement

allow the government ample time III
which to dispose OF its interests to the

A VERY GREAT SPEECH.

The speech Of Hon. John w. Daniel
on the Teller resolution is printed IN full
in this paper.
1t is a clear and concise review o
the legislation connected with the issue
of government bonds and Il complete an
swer to those who are %parading their
affected virtue in a desire to rob the
taxpayers to pay the bondholders twice
as much as the contract requires.
There were good men who We're de-
ccivcd in 1896 by the cry Of "Repudia-
ton started by the bondhOldcrs and
taken up by those who followed them
blindly. Senator Daniel shows beyond
question that instead of there being II
just cause for complaint on the part of
the b~ondholder at receiving "gold or
silver at the option of the government
the government has in fact dealt with
them most generously. He shows this
by eminent Republican authority.
The issues of 1896 are unchanged. in
1898 and in 1900 the people who be
lieyc in honest and fair-dealing Will de-
mand that the bonds be paid according
to the contract. and insist that the two
metals can be kept at Il parity only by
paying both. without giving preference
to either. and fy opening the minis to
the free coinage of gold and silver. In
this o~ff-year it will be we'll for every
man to study the question. Senator
Daniels speech goes to the bottom.
The man who reads it carefully will be
convinced of the soundness, the justice
and the equity of the position assumed
by the Democrats, Populists and Sill
yer Republicans.

MORE FRIENDLY CALLS.
The Flotilla and a Merchant Ship arC
About to Cross the Atlantic.

-ACtul ~ oiOSS III -1ldll4C.
Washington. Feb. 5.-At the Spanish
legation no significance is attached to
the sending of a merchant ship along

to cross the Atlantic. 1t is said at the
legation hat the sending Of the torpedo
boats has been contemplated for a long
time and has been repeatedly announced
through the press. They arc, however,
small craft to undertake the hardship
Of an ocean voyage, and it is essential
that they be accompanied by Il larger
vessel to serve as a transport for extra
supplies, particularly coal, which the
tiny craft anne carry III sufficient
quantities for a long voyage. The mcr-
chant vessel Will serve merely as Il trans
port. She belongs to a merchant COM
pany having a large number of ships, So
that one of them can be readily spared
for this service. All of these ships he
long to the auxiliary Navy and are sub
ject to call at any time. The one now
being brought into service is n small af-
fair. by no means formida Die and useful
