JUSTICE AT LAST

By a decree of the Supreme
Court of the United States, rend-
cred this week, Virginia was
given a decree for 81. 1872, 507
against West Virginia, This rep
resents a part, less than one-third,
of the state debt of Virginia be-
fore the creation of the state of
West Virginia. The money had
been spent in canals, railroads
and other state improvement.
West Virginia was born of a
colossal fraud. A mock governor
with a mock legislature of two
or three senators and a dozen
representatives gave away a third
of Virginias territory, and the
United States approved the out
rage. This was during the civil
war, of course.
Some regard, however,, even
then was paid to decency and
honesty, and West Virginia's ap-
plication for admittance and the
act of congress admitting it as a
state, provided for it's assumption
of part of Virginia's debt. But
so soon as admitted to the Union
it promptly took steps to escape
it's liability and only brought
to bar before the supreme court
has any effort to obtain justice
from West Virginia met with
any success.

Impulsive MIR. Bailey

On the theory of :'Ieast said,
soonest mended," it is best. we
suspect, to say as little as possible
of Senator Bailey's spectacular
performance last Saturday. If
we accept the explanation wired
from Washington-which is plaus-
liable, at least-his rash and SEN
sational step may be charitably
attributed to a certs in infirmity
of temper, a lack of Self-control,
rather to be classed as a misfor-
tune than a fault. Making all
the possible allowances, however,
the Texas Senator's action is
little calculated to improve his
standing with the public, with
his own party or with his own
constituents.
In his telegram to Gov. Colquitt
the Senator discloses no reasons
for his hasty resignation that
sensible folks will recognize as
sound. By his withdrawal of that
resignation he virtually confesses
his mistake. No one, we suppose.
questions Mr.. Bailey's great abil-
ity, but great numbers of Demo
Gratis would challenge his right
to chart the party course in Con-
gress or draft it's platforms. No
man is big enough, singlehanded,
to assume either Of those tasks.
During the session just closed
his Democratic colleagues in the
Senate not frequently opposed
their votes to his and were sup
ported in that action by a strong
body Of Democratic sentiment
the country over. In the session
to come some of them, doubtless,
will take the same view of their
duty. and express it in the same
ways.
If the Senator from Texas in
tends to construe these divisions
as personal reflections upon him
or as cause for his retirement
from the Senate, it is improbable
that his designations and the with
drawals of those designations will
contribute to the picturesque fea-
lures of the approaching session.
1t is rather to be hoped, however,
that he will keep both his nerves
and his emotions under better
control h~enceforth, leaving to his
colleagues on the Democratic side
the same liberty of thought and
action under the party platform
and subject to the caucus delibe-
rations and agreements that he
claims for himself. Times Demo-

Senator Bailey of Texas, in a fit of
petulance, resigned, and in a few hours
recalled his resignation. His act was
that of a spoiled child. He was angered
because certain Southern senators re-
fused to follow his leadership. AS
Senator Money is the accredited minori-
ty leader in the senate it is hard to see
what light Bailey had to expect obedi-
ence. But his inordinate explains much.
Bailey is a man of much ability, of
great constitutional learning and of
oratoricSl powers. But he lacks the
elements of leadership. He has not

Cattle Ticks

1t is very important that owners of
cattle make thorough inspections of the
same and destroy all ticks found upon
them by hand picking the large ticks
and disinfecting the cattle, so that no
live ticks drop to the ground to bring
on a new and larger crop in June.
There are many instances on record
where thorough and careful hand in
spections of small punches of cattle
during the spring months has resulted
in completely freeing premises of ticks
during these months. thereby avoiding
a great amount of trouble and loss later
in the season. While it is a fact that
ticks may be seen at most any time of
