FATS EN- ALIVE

DR.. James S. Grim, instructor in the
Keystone State Normal School. Kutz-
town Pa. claims to have discovered
a parasite (bug) that is destroying
the San Jose scale, simply eating the
scale alive. If DR.. Grim is not mis-
taken, he has made a wonderful dis
covery and viii receive the eternal
gratitude of horticulturists generally.
1t is not stated just what kind of a
bug it is, but if he is doing what is
claimed for him, his future is assur-
ed We say him" because Califor-
MIA has a lady bug which works on
the same lines. Now If one of the
masculine gender has appeared the
pestferous scale is doomed II was
not possible for the lady bug to do
the work unaided II she can have
the cooperation OF a mere man bug,
The World is quite certain the task
VIII be accomplished.

PUBLISHERS ANNOUNCEMENT.

The World Publishing Co. takes
pleasure in announcing that arrange
ments have been made by which Mr..
A. b Smith, former editor of The
Martlnsburg Herald, will again take
charge OF and conduct it as Repub-
lican newspaper
As Is well known The Herald has
been neglected to a considerable ex-
tent largely due to the fact that it
has not been possible heretofore to
employ anyone as editor who could
give enough time and attention to
the paper to make OF il such a publi-
cation as the publishers desired
Believing that the Republicans Of
Berkeley and adjoining counties are
entitled TO an up.to-date newspaper
advocating the principles of their
'xlrty, the publishers have secured
TIE services OF Mr. Smith. who will
have full control Of The Herald, and
considering his ability and expert
ence and his acquaintance with the.
people of this section, it is expected
The Herald viii again attain the po-
sition it once held as one of the
ablest and most reliable Republican
newspapers in the State
Very respectfully,

THE WORLD PUBLISHING co.

The above announcement is self
explanatory 1t means that The Her
aid is to be resuscitated, rejuvenated
ard made really and truly Republi-
can. It is claimed there should be al
Republican newspaper in this section
The point appears to be well taken
There are some five thousand Repub
lean voters in Berkeley and ADJOINING
Counties who have FOR years had no
political pabulum except DemocraticI
htisks. Republicans say they are sick
and tired Of them. They should be.
Just who is TO blame for this condi-
tfon is not OF any consequence now.
The past is past 1t is the future
that is OF interest to all Of rs 1t isl
now possible for Republicans to have
a paper that will hew to the line. The
publishers say they believe that the
Republicans Of Berkeley and adioin
ing counties are entitled to an up-to-
date newspaper advocating the prin
ciples Of their party" As proof Of
their sincerity, they made arrange
ments by which such a paper is pos
sible,
1t is therefore up to the Republi-
cans to show their faith by their
works. That is all there is to the
proposition The facilities are af-
forded -oGice Of publication and an
editor who is to have fun control of
the paper. This is certainly a fair
proposition The editor selected is
wen known His past record in this
respect is an indication of what the
future will be If Republicans are
sincere. and it is believed they are,
their every wish will be gratifed.
The Herald viii be simply a Repub-
licau newspaper as il was under the
direction of John r Riley Frank
Evans q. S C. Pitzer and the under
signed. 1t viii know no faction It
has no feuds. There are no enemies
to punish; no friends to reward All
stand upon the same footing
II is the intention to make just as
good a paper as the patronage viii
warrant If patronage is liberal, that
liberality will be reflected in It's col
umus. II it is not, the inevitable
must ensue Newspapers cannot live

cable settlement Virginia demands
interest in double the amount named
by the Commissioner and threatens
to go to the Supreme Court with that
demand IT is altogether probable
this action will throw such light upon
the case as to induce the Supreme
Court ID more fnIly consider the mat
ter and give West Virginia an oppor-
tunity to be heard upon the merits Of
the case, to consider the equities to
which West Virginia Is entitled, and
thus provide for an adjustment hat
viii be fair to all
It Is we'll known that at the tdme
OF the separation there was not one
public institution Of any character
within the bounds Of West Virginia.
There we're some roads, most Of them
toll roads. leading to the borders Of
the state. no doubt really built as mil
itary roads, under the old States
Rights theory then in vogue West
Virginia is willing TO pay every dol
lar expended upon them.
Money was spent lavishly in the
Eastern portion Of the State The
James River Canal was an enterprise
upon which many millions were ex-
pended The advent Of railroads kill
ed the canal and Virginia sold It toI
the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad and
today holds the bonds issued by the
railroad Then there was the Rich
mond Fredericksburg & Potomac
Railroad, from Richmond to Alexan-
dria, which "a still a Virginia prop
erty
Many other instances might be
cited but it is not necessary to do so.
1t is true the western portion Of the
State was represented in the Legisla-
ture. but those representatives were
not consulted, nor had they the power
to affect legislation one way or an
other That portion OF the State west
of the Alleghenies was an outlying
nothing more, at the mercy
Of the aristocracy OF the Tidewater
section.
There are equities in the case and
West Virginia will make every pos
sible effort to obtain justice. She de-
nothing more She viii not
repudate any honest debt but she
will stand for her rights to the last
man and the last dollar 1t is impos-
sible to think for one moment that
the Supreme Court OF the United
States will impose upon West Vir-
ginia a judgment that would be prac-
tically confscatorf West Virginia
is entitled to fair consideration and
the Court will not do other than
grant it.

The VIRGINIA pEer.

The latest action on the Virginia
Debt question Is the announced de-
termination OF the Virginia Commits
sion to so to the Supreme Court and
demand Judgment in full including
about fourteen million dollars inter-
est This would make about twenty
one million dollars in all The solicit
tude of the Virginia Commission for
the holders Of the bonds is really
pathetic. Virginia viii not receive
one cent. The suit is on behalf of
the bondhoders who hope to profit
thereby. There is no explanation so
far as to the precipitate course of the
Virginia Commission. If Virginia had
any financial interest in the suit
present or prospective, there would
be some excuse for the action taken.
The West Virginia Commission is
composed of able men, gentlemen,
men who will do what is right But
it may as we'll be understood now
and for all time that they viii not
be forced into taking any action that
is not fair and right This State is
willing TO adjust the matter on fair
and equitable terms and upon no 9th
err
1t has been charged by Virginia
that West Virginia has failed and re-
fused to consider the case. This
claim is not correct On the con
trary, it is true that Virginia has
acted arbitrarily at all times The
latest action is in line with former
procedure
After the close Of the Civil War
lust as soon as it was possible to do
so. Governor Arthur I. Foreman ap-
pointed a Commission which went to
Richmond and made an earnest eff
fort to adjust the matter. Virginia
utterly ignored West Virginia and the
effort failed A second Commission
was appointed at the head of which
was Hon. Jonathan NJ. Bennett, for
mer Auditor Of Virginia It was hoped
Mr.. Bennett might be treated more
courteously. but that Commission was
almost utterly ignored
Then. In her own good time, With
ont consulting West Virginia, Virgin
ia decided that West Virginia owed
one-third of the debt and issued GER
/ thcates accordingly to the amount
OF about thirteen million dollars
4 Those certificates are the base Of the
present controversy Virginia issued
the certificates and received credit
for the full amount 1t appears there
was an agreement that Virginia
should ass the bondholders in
making collection from West Virgin
ia
The Commissioner to whom the
case was referred reported that in
his opinion West Virginia owed a
fraction over seven millions. The Su
preme Court announced that fact and
suggested that the TWO States get
together ana make amicable adjust
meut.

COTTON FUTURES FIGHT.

The huge Democratic majority in
the House was perilously near defeat
Tuesday, when Leader Underwood
pushed his cotton futures" bill
through the House by a bare major
ity Of ten The vote was III for to
161 against. This was the closest
vote Of the session. 1t now appears
that the Senate Is opposed and that
feature Of the caucus tariff bill will
be omitted gor the present Just
what effect the passage Of the bill
would have is problematical. Some
claim it would iniuriously affect the
prices of cotton to the producer. 9th
ers claim 1t would be benefit to him.
Evidently it is question whether 1t
would be a good or bad thing to do,
One thing is evident, there is consid-

tion is almost always injurious to the
