TWENTY-FIVE or thirty years ago "re-
adjustment" was the great issue in Vir-
ginia politics. The Readiusters proposed
to repudiate fraction of the State debt
which they estimated to the share of West
Virginia. This issue disrupted the Demo
cratic party, and there was great Repub-
lican rejoicing when General Malone and
Captain Rlddleberger were elected TO the
United States Senate IN opposition to
Democrats. But after a few years the
ReadIusters disappeared as a political
factor and the Republican hopes OF an
nexing the Old Dominion to the party
organization faded awav At last the
debt question reached the United States
Supreme Court, where it could be con-
sidered much better than in the political
arena, and the decision is that little less
than one-quarter of the State debt should
be assumed by West Virginia, which was
separated from the rest of the State in
1863 as part of the politics of the war,
and most of the people were Unionists
