lane, II. A. Parmelee and w. w. Hall.
One of the principal features of the

Z. VI. Swanzy on the Mutual Telephone
system, which he said needed a new
manager. Mr.. Atherton replied by
stating that in the change from the old
TO the new system and in endeavoring
to keep the phones working, the mat
ter had undoubtedly gotten beyond the
reach Of the present manager. An ex-
pert was expected soon TO put the sys-
I tenn in proper order. Mr.. Swanzey
again stated his doubts as TO the sys-
tenn working under the present man
agement and wanted a new man
brought in from the States to take
charge. The secretary was instructed
TO write the company in line with Mr.,
Swanzey's and Mr.. Atherton's views on
the subject.
The question Of the crowded condi-
ton OF Fort street where the sewerage
system is being put in was called VI
by A. V. Gear. He moved that High
Sheriff Brown be notified of the evi
with a view to having an officer sta
toned there TO keep traffic moving
without creating a jam as was Otter
. the case at present Mr.. SwanZey pre-
scented a resolution to the effect tina
the High Sheriff be asked to TAX

THE VIRGINIA DEBT CERTIFICATES


For more than a quarter of a
century there has been discus
sion of the liability of West Vir-
ginia to pay part of the Var
ginia debt existing prior to the
separation of the two states,
This is subject out of which the
Democratic journals and politici,
ans have sought from time to
time 10 obtain comfort and as.
sistance on occasions of elections
and during campaigns preced-
ing them. 1t is only at these
times that the subject is discuss
ed: for in the intervals little is
said on the subject and less
thought about it.
As we are approaching another
election, it is presumed the ques-
ton will be again agltated with a
view to induce some Republican
to believe that there is danger OF
the payment of this debt being
required of this state, if the vote
should be favorable to his party
The same question was discussed
in the last campaign in this coun'
ty and vigorously pressed with
the hope that some profit to the
Democratic party would be re-
allied from its consideration.
We are not prepared to say that
some profit was not realized from
it 1t may and doubtless will again
be used for the same purpose by
the same party but the wise will
not be deceived second time.
There is no moro probability or
prospect of West Virginia paying
a dollarof this Indebtedness than
there is of her assuming to pay
the whole of the English debt
arising out of the war with the
Beers. The Republican party
is as hostile to It's payment or a
single dollar of it as any other
political organization existing.
In state and county conven-
tions for years past that party
has expressed itself as hostile to
the payment of such debt
or any part of it. The fact is
that any Republican, who would
vote for its assumption by this
state or any part of it, would vir-
tua'ly seal his political fate in the
state, and surrender his claim to
the confidence of his constituents.
Had the State of Virginia, or
the holders of what is known as
the Virginia certificates of such
Indebtedness. been advised of any
prospect of the recovery of such
debt or any part of it, legal pro
ceedings would have been lnsti-
tuted in the proper court long
before this time.
For these reasons, although no
doubt the question will DE kept
before the people for the same
purposes as heretofore. no Re.
publican should permit himself
to be deceived or misled by it or
induced to discredit his own par,
ty by falling TO support its candi'
dates by reason of anything re
lating to such debt.
