A COMPLICATED CASE.
How Much Shall State Of West Vir-
sinia Pay 70 Old Virginia?

Washington, March 20.-One of the
biggest jobs of arithmetic justice Of
the supreme court of the United States
has confronted in a long time faces
the one to whom is assigned the work.
ing out of the alleged Indebtedness of
the state of West Virginia to the Com
monwealth of Virginia, growing out of
the former setting up in business for
herself during the Civil War.
Charles E. Littlefield. special master,
has just reported on the claim of Vir
ginia that West Virginia should have a
proportion of Virginias Indebtedness,
preceding tile 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. In compiling his report, Mr.
Littlefield had to calculate the receipts
and expenditures of an empire during
a long period. The problem was COM
plicated by war times, and by condi-
tionS such as slavery that have long
since passed away. All these required
tedious figuring, calling almost for the
skill of an expert accountant.
Before the court announces it's final
decree in the case it is probable that
one of its members will be called upon
to look into the problem, where law
and its application cannot be depended
upon to give the justice the sum of a
column of figures. The amount West
Virginia will be called upon to pay
Virginia vary, it would seem from the
Littlefield report. is anywhere from
$3.250,000 to $S,660,000.
In round numbers Virginia is ask
ing West Virginia to pay about SILL
100000. The difference in the amounts
reported by Mr.. Littlefield varies ac-
cording to whether the court appor-
tions the debt OF Virginia by popula-
tion or by valuation of property and
whether slaves are to be classified as
population or as property

Lisbon Grange Refuses Paekases Of
Governments Seeds. ,"

Lisbon, Me-. Marehl 2o.IThe Lisbon
Grange Saturday night Hit the govern
ment seed business blow below the
belt by returning a free package sent
the organization by Congressman
Swasey. Worse still. the Grange 'ad-
dressed letter of reproof to the
Maine statesman for presuming to send
seeds or anything else free through
the mails. How little impressed tho
Grange Is by congressman, anyhow, Is
indicated by the fact that the letter is
addressed to Mr.. John p. Swasey.
The action of the Grange was taken
on motion by Percy p. Plummer, tho
lecturer, and this is what the secretary
wrote:
"Mr. John P. swasey. Washington,
d. c.:
From the postmaster here II Is
learned that package of seeds Is
consigned to this Grange. We return
these seeds to you as we believe this
method of free distribution OF seeds Is
not for the good of the people; that
the expense incurred Is not good busi-
ness on the part of the authorities;
that the seeds are inferior in quality
and the money so used is wasted.
We believe the custom of allowing
our congressman the free use of the
mails is unwise and that they are al
well able as others to pay postage on
whatever they may wish TO send
through the mails, and that a c0rrec-
tion of the evil would assist in max
ing UP the deficit in the postal depart
ment.
I'VE respectfully ask you as our
elected representative to aise all means
In your power for the early establish
ment of system of parcel post and
postal savings banks"

HELPING BUCHANAN.
Senator Lodge Speaks in His Cam
paign Saturday at Broekton.

BrocktoD, Mass, March 2O-Absolving
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law from respon-
sibility for the high cost Of living, United
States Senator Lodge Saturday night ad-
dressed an audience of 1900 here in sup
port of the candidacy of William II. Bu-
chanan, Republican, of Brockton for Con-
gress from the 1fth district Senator
Lodges speech made plain the fact that
the result of the bye-election will be
looked upon by the G. 0. p. leaders as q
significant index of the country's attitude
toward the new tariff and it's relation to
the unprecedented cost of living.
Mr. Lodge asserted that the recent re-
vision had been downward. that the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law was one worthy
of the fullest support and a thorough trial
and that the rise of prices in America is
simply part of a worldwide movement
probably chiefly due to increase in gold
production. The senator admitted that
prices unduly high but said that he was
ready to support any legislation that
would curb their activities.
He charged Eugene A. Foss, Mr.. Bu-
chanan's Democratic opponent, with fav-
ing desire to break down the system of
protection altogether, and pictured the
evil results which would follow the demo-
lition OF tariff walls
Former Senator II. G. Wfieatley Of
North Abingdon presided at the rally.
which was held in the City theatre.
Candidate Buchanan was given a rous-
ing greeting when he rose to speak, He
coid that 10 tlare usaro any aht1soa fr, fh a

New York, March 20.-"The differ

the city of New York" said Former
Governor Robert B. Glenn of North
Carolina in prohibition address at
Carnegie hall today. "is that in Maine
you need a guard to get a drink and
in New York. you need a guardian to
keep you from getting a drink whether
you want it or not" .-
Nevertheless, Gov. Glenn believes
that in five years all New York state
will be dry except in New York City
and that the city itself will go dry
within the next 10 years "The anti
Saloon League of New York state does
not ask statewide prohibition" he
said; that would be of no use to ask,
but the league asks the best that can
be expected now--that two-tllirds of
the population living in cities be given
the right to vote on saloon or no
saloon"
