A GREAT MEETING

1 As promised, the meeting at the
High School Hail yesterday evening
was a magnificent success. The at

Il should have been. The quality
was superb Il was suggested that
nearly all of the churches have re-
vival meetings, it was pay night and
the Junior Order had a banquet
There was also a festival at the Cath
lolic church, all of which attracked
many. And then there was the the
atres 1t is incumbent upon many to
attend them, as little fun now and
then is relished by the best of men.
/ Had William Jennings Bryan or
Theodore Roosevelt been the speak

Surgeon Lumsden, no room in the
city would have contained the crowd
Yet neither of them ever appeared
before an audience with a message
one thousandth part as important as

Importance to every man, woman and

I The indifference of people to those
subjects is due. to' lack Of knowledge
of the dangers that beset them They
do not realize that practically all

ton to bring 1t TO an end"
II will be noted that the Court was
most careful to fix only the basis
Of liability; and to give an intima-
ton that It might be necessary to
again refer to master. It was not
stated that the Court believed there
should be any charge for interest.
On the contrary, the inference from,
whether any interest is due" would
appear to indicate that there was
doubt in the minds Of the Court
THE question of laehes as to eth
er party" is another Indication Of
doubt as to the liability Of this State.
1t will be remembered that West
Virginia sent two commissions to
Richmond only to have them ignor-
ed by Virginia authorities Then
Virginia, without consulting this
State, without making any effort to
reach an agreement, set apart one
third OF the entire debt as our share
and issued the certificates upon
which the suit is based. Those GER
tificates were accepted by the bond
holders in full satisfaction of that
portion of the debt and Virginia was
accordingly released but with the
understanding she would permit the
use of her name as collector. All
of this was exparte and without con
sulting this State.
Then the statutes of limitations"
is suggested, and finally, eff the
cause should be pressed contentious
ly to the end, it would be referred
20 master to go over the figures
that we have given Professionally"
Virginia is pressing "eontentiously"
as she has always done. Without
consulting West Virginia, has rushed
into court demanding interest to the
amount Of $21, 100000, which is per
cent on the full amount for so years.
Such claim is utterly preposterous
and would not be allowed by any
court in Christendom.
The case is in the hands of a com
petent commission. There is now no
cause for alarm. The final decision
whatever the amount named, will be
no such sum as Virginia is claiming.

STATE DEBT CASE.

There having been considerable
agitation as 10 the real status of the
suit before the Supreme Court by
Virginia, ON behalf of the holders Of
the so-called West Virginia eertif-
Gates, against this State, we today
give the latest utterance of the
Court in full. and herewith publish
the paragraph from the first declar-
alton upon which later action has
been had A careful reading of the
paragraph in question viii disclose
that the Court did not render a final
decision
The amount named by Commits
sioner Lttlefeld was S71S2,5O7 45,
but the Court has not as yet declar-
ed that amount or any other
amount, yet it must be admitted that
this State stands to pay it unless it
can be shown that the sum is excess
i've. 1t is confidently believed that
it will be possible to show that West
Virginia did not receive all of the
credits which are her due.
The paragraph from the first opin-
ION by the Court is as follows:
I'VE have given our decision with
respect to the basis Of liability and
the share of the principal of the debt
Of Virginia that West Virginia as
sumed. In any event, before We
could put our Judgment in the form
Of final decree there would be fig
ures to be agreed upon or to be as
certained by reference TO master.
Among other things there still re-
mains the question of interest
Whether any interest Is due, and II
due from what time it should be al
lowed and at what rate it should be
computed, are matters as to which
there is a serious controversy in the
record. and concerning which there
is room for a wide divergence of
opinion. There are many elements
o be taken into account on one side
and on the other. The circumstances
of the asserted default and the con-
ditions surrounding the failure earl

principal sum payable, including the
question OF laehes as to either party,

GETTYSBURG DAY.

Governor Hatfield has issued a pro
clamation naming Wednesday of this
week as Gettysburg Day In that
PROCLAMATION he lirects the schools OF
the State to observe with appropriate
ceremonies the momentous events OF
that time. When $4,000 of the men
who wore the blue and the gray can
meet on that memorable field as com
rades, it is time for all of the people
to show their appreciation of the fact
that the bloody chasm' is closed and
the people of the several states are
zone and indivisible."
The memorable address which is
quoted by Governor Hatfield in his
proclamation is classic which ap
peals to all. II is the greatest patriot
ic address of all the ages. Nothing
like it has issued from the lips of any
other man, II stands alone. 1t is the
