THE WEST VIRGINIA. DEBIT.

1t is learned from Richmond that the
friends of Attorney General And erson
are congratulnting hin, warmly or the
decision OF the Supreme Court Of the
United States in favor of Virginia on
the demurrer OF West Virginia to the
suit brought by the former relative to
West Virginia's share Of the debt OF
the old State. The bill and argument

their character, and from the nature
of the decision It Is fairly ASSUMED SO
impressed the highest court Of the
land. Virginia. 1t Is clearly demon-
strated, evidently has in her Attorney
General lawyer who measures up to
the best who appear in any tribunal.
He has represented the State in many
important cases since he became her At
ney-General, and has vet to lose the
first one Of them-Rockbridge Coun-
ty News.
The path of duty is the path Of
safety. Wien the suit against West
Virginia was instituted there were
mutterings throughout the State.
Some asked what Virginia could pos
sibly gain by such proceeding?
Others thought it very dangerous to
reopen the debt question and were dis
posed to censure the Attorney General,
as though he were responsible for the
suit. The fact is. that tho Attorney
General had no option. Tho State was
under obligation to the certificate hold
ers to aid them in forcing settle
ment with West Virginia, and there
was no honorable escape Had vir-
ginia refused the probability Is that
she would have been involved in n Sc
rious complication. Major Anderson
saw his duty and discharged it like an
honorable man and {; faithful official
Every effort was made to settle with
West Virginia out Of court, but with
out result. and the suit was inevitable
Virginia carried out her agreement,
and she has her reward The unset

hanging like a cloud over her, and has
given tho officers of government no lit
tie concern. But the cloud has lifted
Our obligation has been discharged. and
the State Is relieved. Tho public debt
has at last been finally adjusted, and
Virglnias part has been determined.
We owe nothing but the outstanding
bonds. and we are abundantly able to
pay the interest on them and provide
sinking fund from year to year for
their redemption at maturity. We are
forever relieved of any obligation for

The withdrawal of former Speaker
John F. Ryan. Of Loudoun. from tie
congressional contest In tho Eighth
District, has added new complications
to the situation, and was the chief
topic of discussion in political circlus
last night.
All kinds Of predictions We're made.
and friends of the remai lining three
candidates-Messrs Carlin. Nicol and
nominations with apparently equal
confidence No ono here seems to
quite understand the retirement of
Mr. Ryan, but friends of Mr.. Carlln
incline to the belief that the former
Speaker. seeing the odds were against
him, got out with tn purpose OF as
sistlng the Alexandria man. 1t Is
known here that Mr., Ryan has all
along felt that the candidacy Of Judge
Nicol was in1uring his prospects, and
this. combined with the fact that when
he finally determined to retire he sent
telegram announcing 1t to Judge
Louis Barley, Mr. Carlin's warm per-
sonal and political FRIEND would seem
to Indicate that there Is some ground
for the belief that he would like 60
see Carlin win.
But whether this last move Will
help Carlin or not, Is a question, The
friends OF both Mr.. Gordon and Judge.
Nicol say 1t will not. and that the
battle for the honor is NOW between
these latter gentlemen.
In any view Of the matter. however,
the contest is q very pretty one. and
the finish to-day promises to be warm
and close, Friends of each of the can
Gidates were making slight claims of
advantage last plight hut all agreed
that II they were required to bot on
the result, they would hesitate before
determining where to place their
money.

What About Lawyers.

"A contributor to THE Pilgrim S
Scrip" in the December American
Magazine says:
AT each turn in the complicated
finance OF business the dim but
definite trail of a lawyer may be
seen. Each investigation brings out
clearly that at some point in deals
or contracts or arrangements that
evade or break laws one or more
lawyers were in active operation de-
vising ways and means to give these
operations a specious appearance of
legality, or cover up their real mean
ing. In some cases, as in the Stand
ard Oil investigation, distinguished
lawyers boast before the open court
of their ingenuity in defeating the
purpose of the laws of the United
States. In the Metropolitan inves-
tigation you will find that every one
of those schemes that have deceived
or robbed the stockholders and the
public was invented by a great law
yer, and for a huge fee.
ABE Hummel, the criminal law
yer, was disbarred for wrongful
practices. What is the Bar Associa-
tion going to do about these others?
We have found that it is not the
low criminals in politics Chose who
buy the privilege to cater to vice.
who are the real corruptors. 1t is
the men of power, who have larger
game and by whose sufferance the
lower ones live, who are defeating
the aim and spirit of Democratic
government. We are getting after
them by fines, and sending some to
prison. But what about the lawyers
who help them? | don't mean the
or eat mass of honorable lawyers. !
mean the big and unhonorable law
yers. Their studies Of justice and
equity give them particular knowl-
edge and special perception to the
matters of human relations involved.
They cannot plead custom and in
herited methods as their clients do.
They know.

terms.
Although rather late in the reason
there are still hundreds of mallard
ducks in the country, notes the
Springfield Advance. A couple Of
the local sportsmen went out Satur-
day and bagged about a dozen of the
birds. One reason attributed to the
lateness with which the birds stay
here this season is that there are
such splendid feeding grounds in
the wheatsfelds by reason of farm
ers being unable to cut the grain
last fall.
An inexpensive method of Kidding
the farm.of rats is prescribed by a
farmer as follows: ION number
of pieces of shingles | put a half a
teaspoon of molasses and on that |
put a small quantity of concentrated
