THE SPELL OF CHRISTMAS.


Once more we are under the spell
OF Christmas. We cannot be sour or
irritable or pessimestic, do our ut
most. We have been subjected to a
shower bath of gladness; kind
thoughts are circulating with fullnsss
and vigor through all avenues of the
mind; we are elated. even jubilant,
ready for laughter and tears, sy1npa
thetic with the children in their glee
tender toward the poor and forlorn.
strangely accessible to life,s best
memories, reverent toward religious
faith and almost willing to go to
church. All this may seem to our
psgin mind as foolish as revival
Of religion, something inconsistent
with proper economic austerity, a
senseless revel of humanity at the
expense of the moods. habits and ralei
Of solid business. Nevertheless. here
we are, pounded into submission ana
sympathy, overcome for a few hours
or days By the tides of an ideal ex
istence.

Grand Total

Since Virginia is charging six per
cent interest on its claim against
this State, if she is successful, it
would be no more than proper to
make the same charge against other
states The interest for rs years so
computed, would amount to the snug
sum of S129O95,6S This would
relieve the Treasury TO a consider
able extent and should not affect the
states, If their arguments against this
State and the District of Columbia
are correct.
The above figures should be food
for thought and should show the alb
surdity of the positions taken by
some members of Congress. They
are ready and willing to exact the last
penny from those who are helpless,
but not as against their own consti-
tuents. West Virginia members of
both houses should take note and
look after the interest of their con
stituents.

ginia pay her debts" This State has
been lampooned and held before The
world as state that has refused to
pay the debt Virginia bond holders
claim she owes. Newspapers, North
and South, East and West, have NOR
allied over the alleged dishonesty Of
this state 10 contesting the claim
made against her. They forget that
this State was not consulted in any
manner as to the matter, but that by
an ex-parte action on the part OF
Virginia and the holders Of her bonds,
one-third Of the Indebtedness Of Viz
ginia was imposed on this State.
West Virginia has resisted and
will continue TO resist the claim unto
the last ditch IT ia not recalled
that anyone has offered valid rea-
son why this State should be made to
pay, other than that Virginia insists
upon It at the command OF the hold
ers of the alleged West Virginia Ger
tiheates.
Now, another transaction has been
brought to light. Certain Congress.
men have insisted and are insisting
that the District of Columbia shall
pay an old claim of the Government
against that helpless community
They say the District owes about a
million dollars and must pay it. The
District people resist the claim and
say it is not just
In this connection. it has been dis.
closed that some twenty-six states
owe the general government vast
sum about which there can be no
question of validity, as 1t was money
loaned the states in accordance with
an act of Congress OF June 20. 1886.
Spasmodic efforts have been made
from time to time to collect the mon

found that had the courage u IL.
sis upon payment, because it wonld
be death politically to large num-
her of them. Yet they insist UPON
compelling West Virginia and the
District of Columbia to pay the last
farthing of trumped up claims
against them. simply because they
are helpless and unable to defend
Il enlselves.
The amount of the debts OF the
several State due the Government
for money loaned them is as follows:
