NOT SETTLED YET.

The United States supreme court
finds that West Virginia is indebted
to the state OF Virginia, $7,182, 900.
This decision may be accepted as
final in so far as the questions Gov
cred are concerned The supreme
court does not pass upon the ques-
ton Ct interest and leaves that for
publication between the states Why
it should do this is not apparent. If
West Virginia owed the state Of Vir-
gi1ia $1,000 900 in 1861, 1t owes Vir-
ginia that sum now, plus the aecum-
Glated interest, and the staggering
amount CT that debt cannot be con
templated with composure.
The decision presens to the state
of West Virginia a question of nom
entons Importance. We must either
prepare to pay an enormous sum of
money or seek some means of avoid
ing payment In the judgment CT
the lntellingencer the attitude for the
state OF West Virginia to assume at
this time, is not one of humble COM
pllance with a verdict that ought
never to have been returned, in a pre-
ceeding that ought never to have been
brought, and on a statement of facts
that ought never TO have been con
sidered by the supreme court Of the
United States. The real plaintiff in
this case has not been the state of
Virginia, but spectators who have ae-
CURED her deprecated bonds. There
is no moral obligation upon the state
Of West Virginia to recoup these spec
ulators for the small sums they have
invested in these bonds, CT to enrich
them as result of their speculation.
II there is way to enforce the
payment of monetary claim against
enc of the sovereign states Of the
United States, 1t has never been
found thus far, and in this fact is the
real strength of West Virginia's po-
sition. Without having voluntarily
assumed any fixed debt, we cannot
he accused CT regulations, and we
may decline to accept this verdict as
just.
Then what?
Unless the best lawyers in West
Virginia are wrong, the case will
still be subject for negotiation and

Z VIRGINIA VIEW.

AS we understand, the state OF Vir-
giLia viii not receive a dollar of the
seven millions and odd of the old
state debt that West Virginia is order
ed to pay by the supreme court of
these United States. 1t is a matter
between West Virginia and the hold
ers of certain bonds of the old state
which Virginia refused to assume on
the ground that the new state should
pay them as her share of the old
debt. Now we suppose West Virgin
ia win try to arrange some plan of
compromise. She should have done
this long ago. Her people and au-
thorities know the money was due and
that the debt was honest. They might
know it would be demanded some
time. Probably the bonds were
bought at low prices by those who
hold them and very liberal settle
ment could have been secured. The
policy seemed to be, however. to ig-
more the matter and that the state
would nay nothing until forced.
An extra session of the West Vir-
sinia legislature has been called to
consider a primary election bill Prob
ably the matter OF some provision to
arrange payment of the money will
be presented. The burden on the
state will not be heavy She is rich
and growing richer and doubtless will
DC able to float four per cent. bonds
with the proceeds of which to take
up the cid issues. The people of the

From The World Of wednesday.

From The World Of Wednesday;
The champion Tuscaroras lost out
again last night by IS pins in the
match game OF duck pins with the
Opequons at the Y. NJ G. A. bowling
alleys. The rooters for the Opequons
stem to have gotten Graiehea ratified
anyhow he didn't bowl his usual
steady game, otherwise the Tuscaro-
ras' defeat would not have been quite
as bad as It was, some think.
The result OF the game last night
puts the Opequons at the head of the
list the Tuscaroras taking second
place, with the Powhatans still at the
foot of the class. The Tuscaroras
have felt secure in first place all win
ter, but the Opequons have lately
be.a gradually showing them off the
end Of the bench. As the league sea-
son will close before very long a live
ly interest will be awakened among
local bowlers as to whether the Ope-
quons will be able to maintain their
lead to the end. The Tuscaroras think
not of course.

ElGHrING RUSSELL.

Atlanta, Sept. 2S.-The friends of
Hon. j. Pope Brown, candidate for
governor, including the prohibition
leaders of this locality, are preparing
to train their guns rather against
Judge Richard B. Russell than against
former Governor Brown, believing
that Governor Brown has entered the
race too late to be a dangerous fac
tor and that the real fight will be the
struggle between the local option and
the prohibition candidates.
The fact is pointed out that prior
to Governor Browns entrance many
of his former supporters had pledged
themselves to one or other Of the can
didates already in the field, and that
when Governor Brown did announce,
the news did not arouse the enthusl-
asm it was expected to bring forth.

DAYS DOING At
STATE CAPITAL
GOVERNOR SMITH DECIDES THAT
STATE WILL PAY NO SPECIAL
FEES TO ATTORNEY eEN'L.

Atlanta, Sept. Ex-Governor Hoke
Smith has decided, with the full con-
currenee of the incumbent, to abolish
the practice of having the state Of
Georgia pay special fees to the atto--
ney general for certain special serv-
ices. Governor Smith believes that
the payment of such fees is contrary
to the spirit of the law, and Attorney
General Thomas Fielder agrees with
him,
In the past Georgias attorney gen
erals, in addition to their salary, have
been receiving special fees for work
in the United States court and other
special work for the state. Governor
Smith believes that the attorney gen.
eral should receive nothing from the
state but his salary, and, Of course,
his expenses incurred while on mis-
sions in the name of the state.
Attorney General Hewlett Hall, At
torney General Hart and other gen
tlemen holding that office have re
ceived less in fees in the past, and
the governors decision is intended in
no way to reflect upon them; the pay
ing of those fees was always duly au-
thorized, and the fees were always
reasonable fees We're to be paid
Governor Smiths action is not intend
ed as a criticism, it is stated, of Of
ficials who have received special fees
in the past, but rather a decision tina
the special fee system is bad and no
in the spirit Of the law.
