Two Important Cases.

The supreme court Of the state may
have to decide very important case
involving the right of two state sena-
tors, Messrs. Getzendanner and Pear
son, to hold their seats in view OF their
acceptance Of commissions In the Second
regiment Of volunteers. A statement Of
the questions at issue will be found
elsewhere in a charles-Town dispatch.
Another case Affecting the right of Nor
gan county to have a separate delegate
in the legislature Is also to be con-
tested
The main point at issue in regard to
the two senators is whether the consti-
tutlonal provision providing. that no
person holding lucrative position un-
der the state, federal, or any foreign
government 4s eligible 70 a seat in the
legislature, conflicts with the legisla-
lures constitutional right to determine
the qualifications OF its own members.
The other case, concerning the restor-
ation Of Morgan's delegate by the last
legislature, the eonstitutlonallty Of
which Is disputed by the Democrats to
the extent that they have nominated a
delegate under the law Of 1892, placing
Morgan in a district with Jefferson and
Berkeley counties, will also be an inter-
esHng one. The point will be that,
even IL the Republican act Of 1897 was
unconstitutional, IT must also be held
that the Democratic act deprivlng Nor
gan of,a delegate and placing her in a
Democratic district. was unconstItu-
tIonal. It certainly was a partisan act,
II nothing else.
The cases will present interesting
questions which may involve % some
extent the United States senatOrshlp.
In regard to the cases Of Senators at
zendanner and Pearson. the alleged in
tention to dispute the Jurisdiction of the
court will necessarily give rise to le-
gal battle of some note. II the fight is
to be made before the court of appeals,
and will attract the attention Of the en-
tire state. 1t looks as II every effort Is
to be made to deprive the Republicans
of three seats In the legislature. This
is the motive, whatever the legal as
poets.

Th. Coming Of Peace.

Peace IS assured, and this means a
great many things. 1t means no
more exposure 70 tropical dangers by
our brave American soldiers than is abb
solutely necessary; 1t means that there
shail be no more bloodshed; no further
suIerinEs and hardships; the return,
as soon as the conditions will allow, OF
the volunteers, who were so prompt to
respond to their country's call and to
face dangers which. when met, did not
sWerve them from the pqth OF patriotic
duty nor weaken their courage. 1t
means that there are no more homes to
be made sorrowful by the saddest OF
sad news that can come from the front
daily, even with the announcement OF
glorious victory. It also means that in
many homes tears and anxiety will
give place TO Joy at the prospect of the
return In safety Of those who had gone
from the doors to give themselves to hu-
unanity's cause, and to sustain the honor
of the flag which has beeen the herald
Of freedom wherever It has iioatcd.
with peace will come the welcome
knowledge that the last of Spanish mis-
rule tyranny and cruelty have been
swept away from the western hemis-
phere, and that Spain has been halted In
ber brutal colonial policy in the Orient.
II means a new world of light and the
uplifting of the standard Of civilization
for a people who have had the spirit
and the life brItally crushed out Of
4hem-the spread Of American freedom
TO long suffering humanity; the intro
duction and the Influences OF American
institutions in the iolandg OF the West
indies which Providence had devised
10 become lands of peace and plenty 1t
means the opening UP OF new nelds for
American enterprise, capital and labor.
The coming OF this peace SO early at
ter che declaration OF war means also

TIE Peace Negotiations.

While this government cannot official
" know the reply of Spain to the Pres
dents conditions upon which peace me-
gotlatlons will te conducted, and will
not likely receive the communication
from the French ambassador before to-
morrow, all unofficial Information con-
arms the reports that the Spanish cab
met has sent the reply, that It accepts
all the conditions, and that the action
has met with the approval OF the queen
regent. There remains no doubt at
Washington that all the conditions have
been accepted.
There lie probability. Judging from
the comments of the European press and
by statements made from Washington,
that the negotiations between the peace
commissioners % frame a treaty Will
involve an effort on spain's part to be
exempted from liability for the Cuban
debt. This effort, however, will be
truttless. and the firm stand which will
be taken by the United States govern
msnt on that proposition will eliminate
It from the deliberations at the begin
ming.
There will be 60 many details that a
treaty will scarcely be ready for SUBJ
mission for some weeks, and In the
meantime, II Spain is reasonable. hos
dltties are expected TO be suspended.
Notwithstanding peace negotiations,
military movements looking to the oc-
cupatou OF Puerto Rico, che gaErisonins
Of Cuba and reinforcing Merritt, are go
ing on actively This in view of emer-
genctes, and of the fact that an agree
msnt to open negotiations does not al
ways carry with 1t a suspension of hos
tilities. This will come by later ar
arrangement. Developments from now on
in the peace matter will be of great in
terest and the people OF the United
States have no cause whatever to doubt
the result.

The sixteenth annual session Of this
famous Chautauqua will be held August
TO %, 1898. II Is the most superb and
sensible summer resort In America, $500
feet above sea level on the line of the
picturesque Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
The climate and scenery and social sur
roundlngs are all that could be desired.
$500. 900 have been spent In improve
ments. Mountain Lake Park Is furnish
ed with electric lights, and water works
are now being put in. Five splendid ho-
tells and two hundred and fifty cottages,
many of which receive boarders, open
their doors ut reasonable rates to tour
lists. The charming lake furnishes ex-
cellcnt boating and fishing. The Chnu-
tauuua summer schools are in session
for four weeks. They include thirty de-
pnrtments OF important study under the
care OF enthusiastic and capable teach
ers out Of the leading American coll
leges. The Chnutauqua programme
with three entertainments daily fur
nishes the best things In lectures. en-
tertalnments and music which genius

Two Interesting Phases.

The indications are that Sagasta has
shrewdly and cleverly gained his point
over the opposition leaders In Madrid
and the radical element in the cabinet,
by demonstrating through consultations
that not one of them had a practical
proposition toward continuing the war
or securing better terms from the United
States. sagasta knew well that cnntln-
ulng the war was the height of foolish
ness. He also was convinced that to
talk about further concessions from the
United States, which had already
proven 60 generous victor. was a
waste Of time But 9le,gave the opposi-
ton leaders full opportunity to have
their say and to offer some better sOlu-
ton to the problem which confronted
the tottering Spanish government. He,
knew all along what the end would be.
and his cleverness won.
1t was thus that the cabinet was
brought to accept the conditions for
peace negotiations imposed by President
Mckinley, and win bring about the
framing of treaty of peace, which will
doubtless require long while. Techni-
cal points and efforts OF the Spanish
commissioners to secure concessions will
doubtless delay matters, but conclu-
sion is sure to be reached.
A Madrid dispatch quotes an article
from the impartial, a Spanish govern
ment organ, which intlmates one of the
hopeless efforts on this line that may
be undertaken-we say hopeless, be.
cause 1t is absolutely out OF the ques-
ton, on the part ofthis country. The
impartial, which has an eye for spain's
deplorable financial condition, suggests
that the Cuban debts, debts Incurred by
Spain in n brutal war to hold Cuba in
subJection, should be assumed by Cuba,
after the island Is reconstructed under
the protectorate of the United States.
or course, impartial isn't silly enough
to suppose that the United States will
listen to 70 absurd proposition, but the
shrewdness Of the article appears IN the
evident intent to bring II to the notice
of European holders OF Cuban" bonds
that they will have to bear the burden
of these debts, II Spain Is compelled to
assume them while Impoverished by
colonial and foreign wars" It takes
Spanish nerve to make such
suggestlon-n suggestion that the
European bondhulders could bring
influence to bear on the United
States government to guarantee
tina. the future Cuban republic shall
pay off an indebtedness of 13OO,OOOOOO
created to maintain through a bloody
ana barbarous war Spanish rule over
Cuba.
The matter would scarcely be worth
noticing. we're 1t not for the feet that
