The expressions of Governor Atkin son regarding me Virginia- ueot cum u*c portion arbitrarily assigned to West Virginia by the Old Dominion, provoked by the recent action of the Virginia legislature, recalls the statements that are going the rounds of the Democratic state press that Senator Elklns Is interested In the settlynent of the question. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The senator himself has given the report an emphatic denial. but it appears that this has made the Democratic press more viciously active In giving the story further circulation. It Is a part of the policy of the Democratic party in this state about election time to accuse some prominent Republican and the party in general with being connected with some scheme to force West Virginia to settle with the mothar st.ate on the basis of the West Virginia certificates, issued by Virginia, without authority of this stats. It is a stock story with the Democracy, and has been used too often to create any alarm at this time. As a sari vie ot these misrepresentation*, we quot- the fol owing from that mihllrnMnn. the Mo iroe Watchman: "It wIIa br? remembered that in the West Virginia legislatures of 1S95 and 1897, both Republican, some mysterious influence was pressing for a settlement of West Virginia's alleged share of the Virginia debt, and it was freely stated at the time that the hidden hand back of the scheme was the hand of Senator Elkins. But th-i legislators took fright, and the matter was droppe.l." The editor of the Watchman knows there is.no truth in that statement. Every time the Virginia debt matter has been broached to the legislature its cause has been cared for in the lobby by prominent Democrats of the eastern Pan-Handle, who profess to represent a syndicate of the eastern holders of the West Virginia certificates. The Repub Mean party or no individual member Of it ever advocated the payment of the debt on the basis of that Virginia has fixed. It has, however, declared, just as any honest business man would do, and which the Democratic party has never done, that if it is found that this state legally owes any portion of the mother state's debt, that provision ought to be made for its payment. The feeling that pervades the Republican party is the same as that expressed by Governor Atkinson, in his interview with the Charleston correspondent of the Intelllfcencer. The governor, on that occasion, said: "If, after a careful investigation of all the expenditures which went to increase the $45,000,000 debt of Virginia, and the taking Into consideration how and where the public funds were expended, It can be shown that West Virginia owes any equitable part of the debt, I have no doubt that our people will agree to pay the same. It was, however, evident to all Intelligent West Vlrcrlnlfinq thnt thn rtlrl atnlo hnd no right to issue Weit Virginia certificates under any circumstance*, nor would they admit that simply because West Virginia embodies about one-third of the territory of the Ktate, that she should, therefore, pay one-third of the debt. Fueling, a3 I now do, that West Virginia docs not owe, legitimately, any part of the Virginia debt, which amounts to anything, I certainly would ifot recommend the legislature to pay any part of said debt." At It Again. Senator Pettigrew Is again pettlgrewIng. He is nsver hippy unless he is engaged In trying to mako others miserable. Th!s time he Is attacking Adjutant General Corbln, and ho has introduced, and the cenate has passei his resolution, directing the secretary of war to furnish the record of the court martial of General Corbln thltHy-ftve years ago. Pettlgrew would jiot have naked for thin record had ho known all the facts In the caw, but he no doubt heard some gomlp about the matter, and fluppoBlng It would Injure Corbln In the eye* of his comrades to rtike over the ashes of the past he let' fly his arrow. It will prove to bo a boomerang. Th" animus that prompted Pcttlgrew to make this demand on the secretary of war Js found In the fast th At It Is proposed In the army bill to promote the adjutant general, whose military rank Is that of a brigadier, to a major generalship. Pettlgrow can never see a man rise unless he throws a brick at him. The story of the court martial Is an ancient one, and Oencral Corbln Is L more thus pleased that th<? dyspeptic Dakota senator has&cdued for the: papers in th? case. The incident which led to chirgss of "cowardice and misbehavior in the presence of the enepiy," occurred *xt the battle of Nashville, when Corbln was lieutenant colonel, o'l the Fourteenth United States colored infantry. It seems that Corbin's horse was a skittish animal, and not accustomed to the roar of the guns and the excitement incident to an armed conflict. It be came unmanageable, and rah away with the colonel, and got six or eight miles from the scene of action before its rider succeeded In getting It under control. The accused officer convinced the court of the truth of this story, and was acquitted of the charge of cowardice, and Immediately thereafter was promoted, securing a brevet for "gallant and meritorious service in the battle of Nashville." Senator Pettigrew will climb a tree some day, and he will get so high up in the branches that the fall to the ground will hurt him "real bad." A Eapid-Fire Courtship. That is a strange story that comifl from New Orleans of the marriage of a respectable lady of Ohio to a man who represented himself to be Captain Clark, of the battleship Texas, after a few days' courtship. It was rapid work for Cupid. But had the insinuating little god of Love anything to do with it? We think not, and we are In a quandary whether to pity the unfortunate n>nlden who was the victim of the wiles of an Insane man, or lecture her for her precipitancy in entering the married state. She was certainly taking great chances In accepting a man after four days' acquaintance. This ardent wooer, who is now under arrest on a charge of lunacy, must have been an extraordinary person to have so thoroughly practiced such a bold deception. On the other hand the "woman In the case" must have been very eager to enter the matrimonial state. The couple became acquainted one afternoon, and in a promenade which followed" the introduction returned to the hotel with their troth plighted. "Captain" Clark must have brought to his aid all of Cupid's rapid-firing glances to have made such a conquest. Or, perhaps the woman was under the spell of the "captain's" uniform made dazzling with gold braid. It is a sad lesson for the woman, and a bitter humiliation to her pride, for it la hardly possible that her heart was brought into action in such a brief engagement. The greatest myBtery of the affair is how the man got hold of the uniform ha wore, which gave color to his pretensions. The Register makes a great fuss over the mistake of the Parkersburg News I" unaolflnir nf Ttwlcrc. Tnhtl Rpfllinnn for Judge Henry Bran nun. Judge Henry Br&nnon, of the supreme court, is the gentleman the News had In its mind as forsaking the Democracy as at pres. ent constituted. Judge John is Ilka Ephralm.and the Register, Joined to hla idols, and we do not know that any one is going to take the troubto to prevail upon him to separate himself from an Idolatry thatj Is so consoling to perverse minds. Ex-Senatcr Hill's friends are claiming that he will head th* New York delegation to the Kansas City convention, and that his fellow delegates-atlarge yill be Croker, ex-Judge Van Wyck and ex-Senator Edward Murphy. This givea rise to the supposition that Van Wyck will be exploited as a vice presidential candidate. It Is not a happy fanilly delegation as It stands, any way you look at it Commenting on' the latest speech of Car? Schurx, in which he remarked mat "the teachings of Washington arid Lincoln are lerided as antiquated nursery rhymes," the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: No one else has made this discovery. But it is a matter of record, that when Lincoln was alive no one wounded him more deeply than Schurz did with snarling criticism and depreciation. The inconsistency of the Democrats is proverbial, but It never was more gluringly shown than by their action on the bill proposing relief ftjr Puerto Rico. They first advocated the bill, and then voted against it. While they were apparently consumed by a desire to extend aid to the Porto Ricans, they promptly oppose the first practical measure having that, end in view. For two-thirds of the fiscal year the receipts of the government have been $378,436,924, and the expenditures $340,873,611. The receipts are $53,022,737 greater than In the corresponding period of thc*year before, and the expenses are $83.850,1 21 less. The surplus for the past eight months Is $37,763,313. The Intelligencer's Huntington correspondent believes that Hon. A. B. White will carry every county In the Fourth congressional district, with the exception of Freer's home county, Ritchie, where he has refrained from making any contest whatever. POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

In Illustration of the paper there are beautiful color pictures of "The Testlmnnu rtf .Tnhn <h? PflnMtf." (the scene of the first miracle), a Nazareth wedlllbg party, and "Tha First Purl Option' of the Temple," besides a number ' of scarcely less beautiful pictures in black and white. Hon. Richard Olney's paper on the "Growth of our Foreign Policy," in the March Atlantic Monthly, will greatly help to clear up the new problems arisi ing out of of our foreignrelations. Mr. Olney discusses our new duties now that we are an Asiatic as well as a purely American empire; what changes must be expected in regard to foreign relations, alliances, etc.; and the necessary enlargement and Improvement of our army, navy. and diplomatic arenclcs. He considers the Spanish war as having been but one step In the necessary changes resultant upon our gradually: assuming that place in the family of na- ' tions which commercial and national J development have rendered inevitable.

Many of these pictures are of i places jthat have escaped the eye of the | tourist following the beaten paths of travel. They were collected by one who had crossed this continent more than a hundred times, who has viewed the scenery with appreciative eyes, and who is, perhaps, the best qualified man In the. country to describe them. The frontispiece of Scrlbner's Maga?Ine for March (drawn by Bernard Partridge) shows the ingenious Tommy in fi vftry-critical situation, which he bad brought about by his own cleverness. This gives an Inkling of the amusing quality of the third installment of Mr. Barie's great serial, "Tommy and Grlzel.' The leading article of the number Is H. J. Whigham's second article on the Boer war. this one dealing with the fights made by Lord Methuen's division in its progress from the Orange river to the Modder river. . Mr. Whigham describes three battles, and this Is the first continued magazine account of that campaign to be published.

The strategy, at well as th:t adventure of the campaign, appear clearly In Mr. Whigham's writings. The March number of Harper's Magazine Is rich in timely and interest in features. Prominent among these Is the Illustrated article on "Pretoria before the War," by Howard C. Hillegoa, author of "Oom Paul's People." ip which the writer gives a comprehensive sketch of the life In the South African capital at the time of his visit shortly before the breaking out of hostilities. Captain Mahan contributes the first of a serler: of articles on "The Problem of Asia," In which he discusses the future of the European powers as factors In Asiatic problems, and the third Instalment of Mrs. Ward's new novel also appears. There are short stories ' by Stephen Crane. Virginia Frazier Boyle. Charles Egbert Craddock. Ellen Douglas Delar.d. and .Marie Van Vorst. and special articles by Julian Ralph. Archibald R. ColquTioun. Poultney Bigclow, and Tappan Adney.

The prominent place which the South African question still holds in the thought of the public has led the editor . again -to give precedence to that topic, to various aspects of which seven ar. tides are devoted. The Marquis of Lome, a son-in-law of Queen Victoria, presents his conception of "The Realities of the South African War," replying, to certain criticisms of the British policy of continental writers which appeared in the January number. Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for March Is fortunate In its leading feature, which Is an elaborate and finely Illustrated account of "The British , Army at Home and in South Africa," py majufui'iiiriai h-ii-uh n. <? manding the United States army.

Taylor County's Candidate. Grafton Sentinel: Taylor county's candidate for the presidency of the Republican State League. Hon. Ira E. Robinson, is gathering strength every day. As the Sentinel has heretofore taken occasion to say. Mr. Robinson would fill the position with much ndi vantage and benefit to the party. Ho possesses thoroughness In his business methods as well as good executive ability, two essential qualifications. Taylor county sets up no special claim to the office, but looking to the welfare of the party, in the state at large and recognizing the fact that the State League can bo made an effective agency' for the dissemination of party principles and political enthusiasm, tenders to the Republicans who will meetj&t Par kersburg next Thursday the man who will meet every requirement.1 The Game uv Mnkin' Votes.
