ance on Providence.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Jan. 2.-cardi-
nal Gibbons to-day expressed his opin-
ion Of the outlook for the next year in
the following words:
.The prospects for 1908 appear very
fair. The most reasonable way TO
Judge Of the future is by the light Of
the past, and we find that II Almighty
God has inflicted upon some trials, the
blessings He has vouchsafed have al
ways exceeded them.
This has been the experience in
the years gone by. and think we may
rely upon the same goodness and pro-
lection in the one upon which we en-
Ner to-day. There may be some things
that win probably appear to certain
minds discouraging, bat under the viii
of Divine Providence am sure we
may hope for the best"

WEST VIRGINIA
OWES NOTHING

the adjustment of the questions in
volyed can now only be brought about
by the court having charge OF the
controversy. The matter at present in
issue between the litigants is the form
Of the decree referring the case to an
officer whose duty 1t will be to take
the testimony. Under the answer OF
West Virginia which has been filed to
the bill 1t is obligatory upon the
plaintiff to take evidence in an effort
to sustain the allegations of the bill,
and whether she can sustain such al
Legations will depend upon the form
Of the decree to be entered and the
character of the evidence which she
may be able TO obtain. If the draft
of the decree as proposed by the coun-
sci of West Virginia shall be accepted
by the court as the one that ought to
he entered. then it seems to us that
virginia's case as sought to be made
ont by her bin must necessarily fail,
leaving West Virginia triumphant in
her contention that she does not
owe anything to the plaintiff in the
suit"
@what form Of decree does West
Virginia desire entered?"
West Virginia contends that the
form OF the decree should adhere TO
the principles of the constitutional
compact between her people and vIr-
ginia. whereby she was admitted into
the Union. To this compact the draft
Of the decree proposed by the counsel
Of Virginia does not conform. but rad
ically departs from 1t, and practically.
indeed / may say absolutely. ignores
it. The counsel for Virginia fully re-
alize that under the constitutional
compact between the two states relat-
Tins to the public debt Of Virginia
the plaintiff has a most prevarious
ground OF contention. There are many
grounds Of defense from this consti-
tutiOnal one which may and Will be
urged upon the final hearing Of the
cause"

WATSON SCORES BRYAN.
Nebraskan Has Gone the Limit In Ex'
pecting Support Of South.

Nashville, Tenn, July 11.-ThOmaS r.
Watson of Georgia, the nominee of the
Porulst party for President, made an
address before the Populst state con-
vention yesterday, and at night spoke
on national issues at Ryman AuditOri-
UNI In a newspaper interview Mr..
Watson criticized w. ]. Bryan, saying
that the Nebraska leader had made a
mistake in dealing with the South,
having gone to the limit in presuming
upon the political help of the Southern
states. and that his attitude in the
Brownsville, Tex, matter was even
more of an outrage upon the South
Mr.. Watson. speaking of his own can
didacy, said that he expected to car
ry Georgia and hoped for large vote
in other states.
Referring to Mr.. Bryan Mr. Watson
said among other things:
me Southern states are expected to
give him 1856 electoral votes. almost
tWo-thlrds of the necessary ma jority
ne expects to win. Yet he does not
even concede to the South the second
place on the ticket. He practically
says that the Southern states haven't
got a single Democrat fit to run with
him on the national ticket. He picks
up a nonentity, an understudy to Tom
Taggart, the gambling hell man of In
dlanapolis. in order to get the political
benefit of the VIGOROUSLY corrupt deal
between Taggart and the negro lead
ers of Indiana"
Concerning the national situation
Mr. Watson said:
THE South is now politically i'm
potent, because compelled to vote the
Democratic ticket no matter who the
candidate or what the platform. When
the Southern states become politically
uncertain they will become politically
important and not before"
