A VIRGINIA DEBT VICTORY.

The State Of West Virginia has won a signal victory in the
action OF the Supreme Court which practically reoPens the entire
Virginia debt case. BY It's action yesterday, the Court held that the
Virginia debt case was not closed, so far as the amount Of West Viz
einias debt TO Virginia is concerned. On the contrary. II holds that
the Offsets which this State has claimed. may be properly considered
at this time. II the value and Importance of these Offsets are as great
as West Virginia alleges they will make a very material reduction in
the amount Of the claim, TO be finally allowed against this State. This
seton puts an entirely new phase upon the entire Virginia debt pro-
ceedings. In effect IL sustins the contention Of the State of West
Virginia from the beginning, namely: That the amount of the debt
due from West Virginia TO Virginia should be equitably ascertained
and should not be arbitrarily fixed either on the basis of population,
taxable wealth, or Of territory.
Equitable ascertainment Of West Virginias share of the debt
will mean a study of the causes for which the debt was created, an
ascertainment OF the benefits which accrued to old Virginia from the
debt Is compared with those which accrued 10 West Virginia, and
finally an accounting by old Virginia for the properties which were
created by the debt and which she afterwards hquidatcd TO her own
will make a credit against Vrginias claims to the amount of some
three to Ave million dollars, finally reducing virginias claim to about
two million dollars, or probably three million dollars, substantially
the sum which West Virginia has from time 10 time considered, and
which our debt commission offered 10 pay Virginia some months ago.
That the debt case has been brought TO this very satisfactory
situation is largely due to the splendid efforts made oy Governor
Hatfield and members OF his state administration. Without refec-
ton upon any one heretofore connected with the case, it is but just
to say that the presentation of West Vrginias case during the last
two years has been more vigorous and more effective than during
previous stages of the litigation. In other words, for the first time
we have been able to bring into the case the real equity of West
Vhginias position. We are for the first time able TO show that the
debt "a created almost solely for Virginias benefit, that West Vr-
ginia paid an undue proportion of the States entire taxes, and that
the properties created by the debt we're 20 a very large extent used
and hquidated for the benefit Of the old State. When these matters
are thoroughly threshed out, the credit resulting TO West Virginia
will be so large and of such serious importance that we need have no
great fear of the final result.

THE CTTY'S FINANCES AND
THE CITY'S NEEDS.

A representative OF the National
Board OF Fire Underwriters renews
the recommendations made by that
body in a report ast year. concerning
the need OF additional fire protection
in the City OF Wheeling. Among 9TH
er things which the report points out.
and which Il alleges now are especial
ly important. are:
The Improvement OF the fire alarm
system.
The addition OF at least one motor
FIRE engine to our equipment.
A considerable increase in the work
ing force of fremen.
These things may probably be OBJ
tanned without enormous expenditure.
It goes without saying. however. that
the City OF Wheeling will not indulge
in any additional expense for tho FIRE
department until the finances OF the
City OF Wheeling have been put on a
better foundation. The cold fact IS.
that the people Of Wheeling pay a very
low tax rate. They are paying nearly
as much now for the luxury Of good
roads out in the country as they arc
paying for all their various activities
carried on by the City OF Wheeling.
Good roads are desirable. but certain
