oyedr from time 10 time during all
these years until short time ego
when the Supreme Court Of The he
United States decided that the
Parent state was due This amount
from its offspring.
The matter comprised large
part of, Governor Hatfeld's message
to the General Assembly Of West
Virginia last week. While the Gov
ernor banks at the suggestion of re-
pudiaton advocated by member OF
the General Assembly of that state,
he favors reopenmg the case which
would delay payment indefinitely.
A Richmond cotemporary in speak
ing of the latest phase in this vexa-
tious matter says:
So far as Governor Hatheld's mes
sage has a meaning which the ordl-
nary mind can grasp, it is that the
old methods of postponement and de-
Law should be tried again. Another
effort should be made, he says, to
induce the Supreme Court to grant
rehearing, and at this rehearing-
if it were Acknowledgements which
have been threshed out a score OF
times would be threshed out once
again.
The Governor thinks West Vir-
einians will be willing to assume
''any equitable or reasonable amount
} that their ability to pay will permit
for the sake of the Constitution ua-
der which We live" That sounds
we'll, but the United States suppems
Court already has decided what is
equitable and reasonable, and incor-
porated that finding in a formal 5udg-
ment. West Virginia owes Virgins
now over S1a,OOO,OOO, including in
terest: there is no room for further
argument.
1t would be absurd to believe, as
some folks in West Virginia appear
| to believe, that the Supreme Court
is without authority to enforce its
judgments The Legislature now IN
session should have an opportunity
to reverse the advice Of the Governor
| and take some appropriate means
| to discharge the States Indebtedness
but should the Legislature fail to
! act, Virginia's duty will be clear,
Attorney-General Pollard already
has applied to the Supreme Court
! for writ of execution, and 'tfff
court delayed the issuance OF this
writ only to await the convening Of
! the Legislature. This writ would
direct the marshal to levy on West
Virginia's property to satisfy the
1 decree. 1t is about time that this
satisfaction was obtained. .Ar

CHINESE NEW YEARS DAY.

Today is being observed in the ce-
lestial empire and by natives Of that
country in the United States and
elsewhere as Chinese New Years
Day.
This reminds us of an incident in
Alexandria when the late John 3.
Smoot was Mayor lss5-1SS7 and
when that official was also ex officio
Police Justice Early on the morn
ing of January % an ear-splitting
report startled people who were at
the time on Royal street, between
King and Cameron, and Chinese
laundryman was seen making his
way from the centre of the thorough
fare to his home on the north side
of the street. He was manifesting
considerable glee The terrible re-
port had awakened everybody within
several squares, and policemen who
were nearby ran after the Mongolian.
They caught him and took him to
the station house upon the charge
of disorderly conduct, or for causing
an explosion in the public street. At
nine o'clock the Chinaman was
brought before Mayor Smoot and
after the officers had testified his
honor asked the defendant what he
had to say. The latter was by no.
means a master of English, but the
Mayor managed to understand that
it was Chinese New Years DAY and
celestials, no matter where they,
might be, were compelled to make a
noise of some nature; hence the al.
mond-eyed laundrynan had carried
out the law of his land. Mayor
Smoot. who was fond of pleasantly,
eyed the accused fiercely and finally
said: "Your New Year is too close to
our honored Ground Hog today You
must change your day to some other
in the calendar. You can go this
time"

servants, but had only been brought
in to help for the occasion. In a
short time she returned from the
cellar, her arms full of bottles, but
with no candle. The absence or the
light sent sickening thought sweep
ing over the merchant. Only the
day before several barrels of gun
powder had been stored in the cellar,
and one of them had been opened in
order to get a sample for a customer.
Where is that candle?" he asked
her quickly, with his heart in his
mouth.
Il had my hands full and couldn't
bring it up" the maid answered.
Where did you leave it?'
Il stuck it in the black sand in the
open barrel" she exclaimed.
But the merchant had not waited
to hear her out. Into the hall and
