WASHINGTON. D. c., January 10
The bill to divide the State of West
Virginia into two federal judicial dis
tricts now needs but the signature of
the President to make it law.
1t was called UP by Senator Spooner
to-day in the Senate. and passed with
out opposition, having already passed
the House on December 18th.
This was Senator Spooner's third at

Monday and Tuesday having failed.
The bill passed as it came from the
House without amendment, and goes
into effect July l.
1t provides three important federal Of
noes TO be filled by the President-a dis

q marshal and district attorney for the
Northern district, to which Judge jack

Besides Jnese, the new Judge will have

SOME PERTINENT VIRGINIA DEBT
HISTORY.

Recent remarks of the Register con-
graduating the people that Democratic
vigilance had once more nipped in
the bud the efforts of Wall street spec
uators to foist one-third of the old
debt of Virginia onto this State, with
special reference to Senator Campbelrs
resolution that the Legislature decline
in advance to consider the question,
has caused loud bowls from several
of our more or less esteemed Repubu-
can contemporaries, who frantically
deny that the Republican party IN
West Virginia or its leaders ever en-
couraged the Wall street spectators
in the Virginia certificates.
The extent of this howl shows that
the Registers shot found its billet ana
that the spot touched is exceedingly
sensitive.
But why deny facts generally recog-
nized to be facts, which have repeat
edly figured in the record ever since
the present Republican ring first Sc
cured a foothold in this State?
The notorious FIRST Republican
Legislature in West Virginia in TWEEN
ty-fve years" opened the ball. We are
sure that certain Republicans now
high in the party councils-at the head
and front in fact-will not care to
have the Register enter into details
concerning certain efforts to crowd the
Virginia debt scheme through the no.
toriously corrupt session of 1895, an
effort defeated only after most siren
uous fighting in behalf of the people
by the Democrats of the Legislature
under the lead of Hon. Andrew Edmis-
ton. 1t was a notable battle. but only
the opening of the seige.
Again in 1897 resolution of similar
purport to that introduced by Mr..
Campbell the other day, after passing
the House was held up for three weeks

TOO LATE.

The vigilant Democracy was none
too soon in heading off the Virginia
debt spectators.
Hardly has Senator Campbells reso-
luton refusing to consider the sub
ject at this session become a matter
of record than word comes from New
York that Brown brothers & Co., rep
resenting the certificate holders. hav-
ing nearly secured the two-thirds nee
essary for action, have received from
the State of Virginia the proffer of its
services to negotiate with West Vir-
ginia, etc.-the same old story con-
corning the same old exploded scheme
to arbitrarily put off onto West Vir-
ginia a third of this Virginia debt.
Fortunately any negotiations" of
this character have been headed off by
the Campbell resolution tabooing con-
sideration of the matter at least dur
ing this session.

ate and was only dug up from obliv-
ion and ultimate defeat BY the per-
sistent efforts Of the Democratic mi
nority.
And still again in 1899 similar resi-
olution introduced in the House by a
Democrat was unanimously passed by
that Democratic body, but when it
came up in the. Republican Senate ten
members were discovered to be abb
sent, eight of whom were Republicans.
Furthermore, amid the rush Of bust
ness at the close Of the same session,
despite the passage of this resolution
refusing to consider the debt question,
the Wall street lobbyists managed to
have brought up in both the Demo-
cratic House and the Republican Sen
ate memorial which it was desired
to spread upon the minutes of the two
Houses to secure the appointment of a
joint committee. which the spectators
fondly hoped would agree to compro-
mise the debt by the payment of
Sc 900 900 by this State. Now contrast
the action of the Democrats of the
House with that of the Republicans of
the Senate. In the former body, in
view of the resolution passed earlier
in the session the Democratic speaker
refused to entertain the memorial or
allow it to be introduced in the House.
But, mark you, the Republican Senate,
despite the fact that it had passed
the same resolution not to consider
this subject, received the said memoir
ial and spread the same upon its min
utes. Senate Journal PIP. $40 to SCI,
Session 1899
For the quarter of a century the
Democratic party controlled every
branch of the State government, there
was absolutely no discussion of this
question and no lobby deemed it worth
while to ask the Legislature to take
IL up. Dut lIOlu Tic vel udy Iuo VI CO.
ent Republican leaders of this State
assembled to power-aided thereto, 1t is
said, by a campaign corruption fund
contributed by the Virginia debt spec
ulators in Wall street-this debt mat
ter has been persi5tently pressed with
increasing boldness and has only been
defeated, as we have shown, by the
vigilance of Democrats, now in the mi
nority.
These are simply cold facts of the
record; which could be elaborated to
considerable extent and with startling
effect if necessary to further jog the
memory of the ringsters and their or
gans, our aforesaid more or less es-
teemed contemporaries of the Republi-
can State press.

WHITE TELLS WHAT HE WANTS

Complete decentralization of All
Boards in Control of State Institu-
% lions Wanted.
Special to the Register
CHARLESTON, w. Va, January 16.
The Republican members of the Leg
islature met in secret caucus tonight
to get hold of orders from Governor
elect White, and they got them. The
theme chiefly discussed was the reor-
ganiZCtion of the various boards in
control of the institutions of the State,
and the GOvernor-elect made known
his wishes in the matter in words that
left no doubt in the minds of his hear
ers as to what was wanted. as stated
in these dispatches heretofore, Mr..
White thinks every one of the boards
should be reorganized so that there
will be three members of one party
and six of the other on each, and the
terms of service so arranged that the
incoming Governor shall have the
right always to appoint a majority on
each board.
After the Governor elect got through
telling what he wanted the discssion
became general, many of the members
giving their views. One thing about
White especially impressed every
body who heard his remarks and that
was he has no hesitation in asking for
what he wants, and shows evidence of
hanging on and keeping up the de-
mand until he gets it. The boards will
be reorganized. The House finance
committee will report favorably Staple

bill Of the State Bankers Association

"INDECENT SELECTIONS"

The nomination by the President of
the sons of Supreme Court Justices
Harlan and McKenna to responsible
positions in the army in Porto Rico
while the important question of the
status of the island is being discussed
by the Supreme Court has naturally
caused an outburst of indignation at
what is generally recognized as an eff
fort Of the administration to influence
the decision of the court.
mo more shocking attack upon the
independence of the judiciary has ever
been made" says the Philadelphia
Times THE Justices named owe it
to- themselves and their associates to
forbid the acceptance of the appoint
ments offered to their sons. A sense
of propriety would suggest this at any
time, but under existing circumstances
it is essential. If the President is de-
void of such sense it should be taught
him, and the Senate must refuse to
confirm these indecent selections.
Indecent selections" is certainly not
too strong a term to characterize these
appointments, which to further quote
the Times, ARE made in the colonial
service at the very time when the le-
gality of that service is at issue be-
fore the court"
fragrant as the offense of Mr.. Nc
Kinley is, however, the New York
World believes: Except that the Su
preme Court is a more august tribunal
than Congress, and that its members
are peculiarly entitled to be protected
from even the appearance of a design
improperly to influence their minds,
these appointments were no worse
than several that Mr.. Mckinley made
from the Senate and the House for the
very obvious purpose Of promoting his
imperial policy
In fact these appointments are in
line with the general policy of the
Hanna-McKinley regime of using the
federal patronage to advance the
schemes and ambitions and pay the
debts of the administration, the earl
lest example of which was the appoint
ment to the most important federal
Office in. Louisiana of a notorious
blackleg who had aided Mr.. McKinley's
first nomination by manipulating
negro delegates at the st. Louis ma
tional convention. Having begun
with Demas is it a wonder the Pres
ident, flushed with the power Of pat
ronage, should try by this means to
influence the Supreme Court itself?
