RICHMOND, Aug. .1s.-At the
meeting before the Commissioner
this morning, before any evidence
was taken, the Commonwealth of
Virginia moved, in substance, TO lin
it the evidence In relation to the
value of the assets claimed by West
Virginia to June goth. 1863. There
upon n full discussion OF the merits
of the two dates of January list,
1861, and June goth, 1868, as the
proper time for fixing the value of
the assets was had by the attorneys
upon both sides. The Master over
ruled the notion, and said that lie
would hear the evidence as to each OF
these dates, and would decide finally,
after the evidence was all In, whetl-
er he would determine the value rs
of one Of the particular dates or
make his report in the alternative.
This was a severe blow to the vir-
ginia people, as they had hoped to
confuse the case by fixing date of
June goth. 1868. when it would be
very difficult and in some instances
impossible to determine with any de-
gree of accuracy the value of these
assets.
The goth of June. 1868. is refer
red to as being the date of the crea-
tion Of the State Of West Virginia;

The st. Johnsbury Republican has
made an important discovery. An ar
ticle in an appropriation bill that pass
ed Congress recently gives the Presi-
dent the power heretofore held by the
departments, to change, enlarge or com
bine customs districts as in his opinion
might be deemed proper. The Republi-
can says: "This, if we read correctly
between the lines, means that the Mem
phremagog district. with headquarters
at Newport, is to be consolidated with
the Burlington district. This was on
the program when the customs districts
were re-arranged a few years ago, and
it would have been done at that time
if it had not been for Senator Dilling-
ham. This accounts for the delay in
making the appointment for collector
at Newport and probably means that
Col. Curtis S. Emery, the present Re
publican incumbent of the office, will
be the last collector Of the Memphrema-

Riding on Sidewalks.
(Barre Times.)

a Putney clergyman was fined recent
~ for riding bicycle on the sidewalk
while returning home from church ser
vice on Sunday. In some places it is
punishment in itself to be forced to ride
in the street, SO bumpy are the roads;
but, still, the sidewalks ought to be re-
served for pedestrians in any town.
However, we fear there are those in
every community who do as the minister
did and vet are not called to account
for doing it. That which happened to
the minister ought to result in drawing
the lines little tighter on all vioIators
of the law and ordinances restricting
the use of sidewalks to pedestrians and
baby carriages.

The MeddIer
~ the coat fits you, pat 1t on"

Those most concerned in making au-
tomoblhng safe are the automobilists
themselves, the large majority of whom,
The Meddler believes, are both compe-
tent and careful. This applies to
BTattleboro as well as to other towns.
Unfortunately, however, this communi-
" like many others suffers from the
reckless disregard of regulations on the
part of few drivers. just at present
the worst offenders seem to be employees
of Il Flat street garage. The speed at
which they run machines through the
principal streets makes them a constant
source of danger, and they appear to
be utterly oblivious Of the annoyance
that is caused by cut-out mul1ers. The
Meddler understands on good authority
that complaints have been lodged with
the state s attorney, but up to the pres
ent time no action has been tn ken. This
inactivity is considered rather sur
prising in view of the position taken
by Secretary of State Guy ". Bailey
with regard to automobile driving. Mr.
Bailey is appealing to local officers
throughout the state to show greater
activity in the promotion of safe and
sane automobile operation. He says
that local officers are lax in reporting
accidents and he has forwarded to each
police officer and constable in the state
a letter asking for report of every
| accident. \ report of each accident will
be made so that in case the investiga-
tion warrants it, the drivers license
can be suspended. Secretary Bailey
| logically takes the ground that any au
| tomobile driver to whom two untowort
| incidents, collisions or otherwise, hap
| pen is a short space of time deserves
investigation at least. Fortunately
this part of the state has been free from
serious automobile accidents this sea
son, but our good luck in this respect
is no reason why the authorities SHOULD

Americans of all classes and political
creeds extend their sympathy to Presi-
dent Wilson and his daughters in their
heart-rending grief. The death of Mrs
Wilson, brought about in part at least
by the strain of White House activi-
ties, emphasizes anew the sorrowful for
tunes of the wives of recent presidents.
The first Mrs. Harrison died while her
husband was president; Mrs. Mckinley
was a confirmed invalid during the
whole of her husband S term in Wash
ington, and Mrs. Taft was in poor
health much of the time.
