1.-THE contention has been made by
our representatives that January u,
ISL, was the date from which to fix
the credits, as the constitution of
1859 fixed that date as being the time
West Virginia assumed her equitable
part Of the debt. The contentious of
West Virginia have been concurred in
by the master as to this date and to
me this Is most important for deter
mining! values on account of the war
that changed the currency system and
made 1t almost impo ssible to fix values
as of an yotherl date after the war be-
came fragrant. The counsel for Nir-
ginia attempted to have this fixed as
of June 20, 1858. .sI.
AFTER fixing of the date, January
/, 1851, from which to take West
IVirginia's credits, It; would seem 20
me as an easy matter to determine
the value Of the stocks and bonds own.
led by the state at that time. and would
appear safe to conclude that the values
Of these holdings should, In equity,
be in keeping with the values fixed
by the owners Of those holdings as
shown by annual istatments sworn 20
and filed by state officials
State Owed No Debt. q
81 have indeed come to the conclus-
ion that II the authorities of West
Virginia had been able at that time to
obtain a statement Of the account as
the Bennett commission attempted to
do when facts were accessible, which
later became inaccessible, 1t would
have been shown that West Virginia
owed no part Of the debt, should she
have received the credit which she
was Justly entitled to in settlement
Of what cannot be considered other
than a partnership, in which one party
leaves the other with the Liabilities
and assets and from which 1t is neces.
sary to make an ccounting of the as.
sets as well as the liabilities before q
settlement can be made.
.The case is by no means ended
and the findings OF the master confirms
the contentious made in the supple
mental answer filed by West yir.

Attorney General u lily and Judge Holt

to the master. I believe that West
Virginia Is now In better position 10
press her equities to the end that she
may be given the sideration which
she should have in this controversy
and which West Virginia has sought
to conceal throughout the entire liti.
CATION.
Victory for State.
II think, II is a. substantial victory
for West Virginia and that, the con.
illusions OF the master will show. to the
Supreme Court of the United States
that the contentious, which were not
Iconcurred in by many OF our former
citizens as TO Yves Z irginia's equity
In certain holdings Jointly owned by
the state before the division. were Iun:
quqestino nably right and that the &C.
lions of the present administration
have been indicated.
From reports received we are jus.
titled In stating that the status Of the
case following the report of the mas:
ter is: FIRST that West Virginia has
lsucceeded In reducing the principal Of
her debt in round numbers from s7,.
600 900 to, $4,000 1000 and, second !, not
withstanding the expressions OF the
master that West Virginia should pay
interest on this principal he makes
no actual finding ofsthe interest be:
cause he is Of the opinion that to do
so would be beyond the purview Of
the decree of reference, under which
he acted. .3.s s. V. N
\ 1.-The report Of the master contains
more than $50 pages and 1t is expect.
ed that we will have a copy Of the
same in the next few days. The &C.
ton OF the master will bring the CUES:
tons of interest as well as the credits
and other facts deeSoped in the re-
cent investigation to the Supreme
Court once again for final adjudica.
tion and 1t seems to me that our
chances for, further achievements IN
this important litigation are quite en-.
couraging for the future.

H. M. S. PINAFoRE.

On Wednesday, the 18th, the Davis theatre will be given over to the great est of light Operas-Pinafore. From early morning till late at night Sir Arthur Sullivan's tuneful music will be sung and resung almost cOntinu- Ously. A dress rehearsal in the morn ing. matinee at 3.30 and an evening performance at 8 o'clock. Untiring work on the part of both the chorus and the principals has brought about results that are to reflect the greatest credit on our local singers. while un- tlr1ng work on the part of the ladies of the Woman's s auxiliary of the Y. M c. A has succeeded in arousing a won derful interest in the performances and a reasonable advance sale of tickets To those who have heard Pinafore nothing need be said; to those who have not. very little, for everyone knows that it is conceded the most pleasing light opera ever written. The lIbrettO is full of keen, subtle humor and the music is bright and catchy. The costumes to be used are from New York and are the best to be obtained. while the stage setting shows the well appointed deck of Her Majesty's ship and is furnished by the leading Boston screen studio. An orchestra of ten pieces will accompany the singers and the scenic effect will be greatly height ened by the dancing sailors and the admiraPS squad Of marines. The hour for the matinee has been put at 3.30 so as to allow school children to at tend. and a special price of 25 cents has been made to such. Pinafore as an educational factor is well worth consideration, as it serves to form a, picture of British naval life which will be long remembered by the children. Reserved seats are now on sale at Davis book store. Matinee 75c and soc; children 25c. Evening, $1, 75c and soc

POETRY
THE wHARvEs OF sLUnBl

Upon the w1arves of S1umber
 l watched the Ship of Dreams Come sailing in through mist and
 moon,
 With glowworm lights and gleams. Their holds were stuffed with dplunder Of every land and times With Ophir gold and gods of Greece, And scraps Of ancient rime. Pastils of Cretan henbane,
 And bales of Yemen silk, With caSsia buds and sandalwood And Oman pearls like milk. And slaves. both men and women, Most fair to look upon, Whose chanting made the breeze That swept the Dreamships on. I had the pick and taking
 Of every cargo there The spice and gold, the slaves an The myrrh and pearls and vaar. But while I stood debating
 What thing to take and choose, A voice cried, "Lo! the good ship Daw Draws in across the dews!" And all the Dreamships vanished, And left me wide awake To think of all the many things
 It had been mine to take. Madison J. Gave, in the Youth
 Companion.
