Hard Problem for Supreme Justice.

Hard Problem for Supreme Justice.
One of the biggest jobs Of arith-
metic a Justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States has confronted in
a long time, faces the one who may
be assigned to work, out the alleged
Indebtedness of the State Of West
Virginia to the Commonwealth of
Virginia, growing out of the formers
setting up in business for herself
during the civil war.
Charles E. Littlefeld, special Mas
ter, has just reported on: the claim
of Virginia that West Virginia should
have a proportion of VirgiDia's in
debtedness preceding the breaking
away of West Virginia. Exceptions
which the States are expected to file
will require the Court to review the
work of its special Master.
The amount West Virginia will be
called upon to pay Virginia varies,
it would seem, from the Little6eld
report, anywhere from $3,25O,OOO to
$s,66O,OOO. In round numbers, Vir,
ginia is asking West Virginia to pay
about $11,OOO,OOO. The difference in
the amounts reported by Mr.. Little,
field varies according to whether the
Court ~apportions the debt of Virginia
by population or by valuation OF
property, and whether slaves are to
be classified as population or as pro,
perty.
The Supreme Court has not indicat-
ed what steps it would pursue if
West Virginia yer to refuse to pay
the amount it decress is due Virvinia
In the suit Of South Dakota to
compel North Carolina to satisfy an
alleged Indebtedness, the Court Is
creed that if North Carolina did not
satisfy the claim within a specified
period, the marshal of the Court
should sell certain property of the
State from the east door Of the Cap
itol in Washington. North Carolina
settled within Che period specified.

Speaker Cannon Passes Responsibility.

Speaker Cannon Passes Responsibility.
Speaker Cannon is not taking any
leading or dominating part in the
proceedings Of the House, nor is he
talking for publication about his at.
titude on the subject. From a SQUIRE
very near the Speaker, it was learn
ed Tuesday that he felt that tie ma
jority which had taken control Of
things last Saturday was now re-.
sponsible for legislative matters. and
that it might be poor taste for him
to make suggestions or to attempt
to have anything to do with the dil.
recting of affairs. AS to the com
position of the new rules committee,
the fact most prominent seems to be
that a large number of the "insgr-
gents" will insist upon knowing in
advance of the caucus action, who
the members are 10 be and upon hav-
ing the privilege Of placing their

NEWS HAPPENINGS

Brownsville Case Nearing Close.
All of the evidence in the celebrat-
ed Brownsville Ease now is before
the court. of inquiry and it is expect
ed the opinion Of the court will be
ready for submission to congress
within the next two weeks. The COM
manders of three Of the negro conn
panies, which we're dismissed from
the service by President Roosevelt,
have submitted evidence strongly dis
crediting the hitherto accepted state
ments Of witnesses that all Of the
ammunition at the Brownsville post
was accounted for. The testimony
of these officers was to the effect that
in one company from 500 to 1000,
rounds of ammunition were missing
and in another company, a surplus
is shown, and in still another the
records were so impcrfectly kept that
it was impossible to state whether
there was a shortage or not. Almost
the last item of testimony received by:
tho board was the deposition Of
Thomas Hill, a negro from Wyoming,
who was. acquainted with one of the
soldiers supposed. to have been inn
plicated in the shooting up of the
town. This soldier, now dead, not
long after the Brownsville affair, told
him that the negro soldiers shot into
the town, not only from the barracks,
but also from the enclosure in which
the barracks are located.

His most telling statements at Hack
ensack were the assertion that the Re-
publican candidate during the cam
paign had added plank after plank to
his individual platform until he stood
on the same platform that the Demo-
cratic candidate started on at the be-
ginning of this campaign.
Declaring that voters were on the
quest for Justice he asserted that in
this quest the laboring nan was vitality
concerned. He, vas not trying to gain
an unfair advantage, but was simply
seeking to get a square deal In all the
questions OF society. 1t was because
the poor man hasn't as much influence
as a rich man that labor must organize
for its rights. And SO long as he is
simply asking his rights he should be
supported by every man with justice
in his head.

Germ themselves more with fancy than
with fact began to worry In their
columns about what they termed "the

showing faces lined and marked. with
sQuinted eyes.
These came. the papers said. from
the habit of speeding cars. The papers
figured that when a motorist gripped
the wheel and started ahead az the
strip of dusty road that was spinning
under the car. there was so much
tension that the lines and squirt came
without the drivers being aware Of
them.
The papers have ceased TO worry
about that now; for such papers do
not worry about any particular thing
