special says: 1T is reported that the Pres

blest employees Of the Government have,
but which the Chief Executive does not
.possess-the right TO enjoy his own home.

HUNTINGTON, W. VA, April 15.-Suit
hos been brought in the Circuit Court of
this county (Cabell) to test the validity of
provision of the charter of the city Of
Huntington, requiring the payment of
municipal taxes as qualification for the
elective franchise. The plaintiffs are R.
A. StOghlin, William MoCanlin and
J. W. Lowry. and the defend
ants are the Commissioners of Elec-
tion for the First ward of this city, in the
late municipal election, Messrs. J. II.
Bragg, J. H. Wright ard VIM. Sands
The question is an important one, as many
cities and towns in this State have simi
lar provision in their charters. 1t is held
by good authority that provision rtquir-
ing citizen TO have been assessed and to
have paid taxes for the preceding year to
constitute him legal voter, is unconsti-
tntiOnal, and the decision in this case will
settle the matter.

Just now sgitating the Republican mind,
1t is understood that the varions csndi-
dates will submit their claims to arbitra
tion, as the mandate has come down from
the bosses that no change will be made
unless the candidates agree, and then they
must show cause for the removal of Mr..
Thompson.

remarked:

the conductor.
"Of course. Nobody can ride free on rail-

Then I'll have to put you of"

He was allowed time TO make another search,
but not finding a ticket he was told to get OF at
the next station. He was ready to step off when
the train stopped, but he had scarcely left the
car before a passenger found his ticket on the
floor and called him back.
