They are discussing in New York the
idea of making arrangements for sol
diers in the field 10 vote at the November
election. The idea is that while serving
their country as soldiers they should not
be compelled to lose their rights as citl-
zens. This arrangement was made during
the civil war by the Northern States.
The idea is all right. 1t is one of the
ideas TO which nobody can object. There
were two ways, during the civil war; OF
having the soldiers vote. One was to
have elections held in camps, and the
other was to mail the ballots to the cleo
ton officers at home. Under the latter
arrangement the ballot was sent in
sealed envelope, and the man inclosed his
name verified as that of a rightful citizen
But although the idea was all right. when
they came to put it in practice in 81 they
found some very serious defects in II.
There were great many election frauds.

but anyone can see that If the voters
We're many hundred miles away this
trickery would be just twice as hard to
detect. Dead men could vote; living men
might vote one way and be counted an
other way. by the device of dishonest
election officers; frauds would probably
be practiced in hundred different dis
tricts where party feeling was high. 1t
seems decidedly unjust TO deprive our sol
dier boys of their vote because they hap
pen to be away from home in their coun-
try's service. but unless some way can be
devised to prevent these frauds there viii

OF the German dramas of these latter
days the emperor values highly those by
Widenbruch, and Of them all again the
'Neue Herr" by Wildenbruch is, IN his
opinion, the finest. In 1t his ancestor the
great elector" is the main figure, and
this ancestor he venerates almost as
much as that other great HohenZollern.
Frederick the Great. When the drama
had been accepted for its first presenta-
ton al the Royal Theater. the emperor
attended all the first readings and re-
hearsals. He gave a number of valuable
hints and directions on those occasions.
and he betrayed such remarkable
knowledge of historical details as to
amaze all present, including the author.
He corrected the play in several particu-
lars in this respect. In the matter of cos
tunes also he IS extremely well yersed-

that the costuming in the 'Nibeiungen'
was done and in the direction given he

that he loves the German dramatist
Hebbel. whose works had been nearly
forgotten and whose 'Nibelungen"

with extraordinary success during the
last few years. The emperor theoreti-
cally admires Schiler's dramas, but he
rarely goes to see them now, as he fears
to destroy the powerful impression these
plays left on his mind years ago, when
he saw them in the setting given them by

A letter apepars elsewhere from Hon.
John W. Mason. containing 4 suggestion
which is worthy OF a careful reading.
Mr.. Mason believes that the surest way
to. maintain party harmony and to avoid
an unseemly scramble among candidates
for the successorship to Senator Faux
ner would be for the Republicans to as
seH,ble in State convention and select a
candidate for senator. In the absence
OF a provision for the choice OF a senator
by popular vote. this method, he thinks,
would ome near complying with the
growing demand for such 4 system and
would avoid the complications that Of
ten enter into the selection Of a senator.
Just how the matter will be received
by the press and the public Of West Vlr-
ginla the Intelllgencer is not prepared 10
say at this time, in the absence OF a gen.
eral expression OF opinion, and until
there Is such a general expression the
popularity OF this idea cannot be tested.
The communication from Mr.. Mason is
commended to u readers in the hope
that opinions pro and con concerning It
may be brought out. The IntelliGcncer's
columns are open to those who desire. in
good faith, to give their views on both
sides OF the proposition. Out Of such a
discussion may grow a better under
standing among Republicans and the
prevailing sentiment OF the rank and file
OF the party be arrived at.

1frecent reports from Washington, ap-
parcntiy coming from high sources, are
to be credited, Spain Is about ready to
admit her inability TO restore peace In
Cuba. even with the plan OF autonomy
that she is now testing. Its stated that
the government at Madrid Is considering
the ACCESSIBILITY OF p%etitloning to the
United States to intercede for the res,or-
alton Of peace, and to negotiate with the
insurgents 10 that end. The only thing
that deters Sagasta from taking this
step is the fear OF the anger OF the Span
is people at horne, whose Intense hatred
Of the United States might lead TO DEM
on~strations THAI would bode nc good to
the ministry. and perhaps to the throne
itself.
Whether this report Is true or not. GER
tain II Is that the Spanish government Is
becoming much discouraged with the
failure Of autonomy so far, and sees lit
tie hope Of accomplishing what it so
fondly desired. Added to the growing
dissatisfaction in Spain. and the stub
born refusal Of the Cuban leaders to ac-
ceps the terms offered by the govern
ment, it is asserted that the loyalists in
Havana are growing disguised with the
situation which seems 10 grow no better,
so far as the complete restoration of
peace is concerned. They have lost con-
hdence In the ability Of the. government
10 keep its promises.
In the meantime the Cuban comman-
der. General Gomez, seems to be as far
from surrenderirg as ever. In fact he
maintains that the war is already won
for the insurgents and that he Is simply
waiting to see what Spain is going to do
about 1t. Much OF the news from Cuba
seems to confirm Gomez's attitude. Gen.
Pindar's declaration that It is absurd to
reinforce the Spanish troops on the Is
land, where an army Of 200 900 men has
already meen consumed" is deeply sig
nificant.

TO the Editor of the Intelligence.
stRs-1t IS now quite evident that
Senator F%aulkner's successor Will not
be selected without n spirited contest
between quite a number OF prominent
Republicans. Is 1t best to have these
gentlemen contest with each other the
selection OF members OF the lcglslature7
BY doing so, the members OF the next
legislature will be elected with refer
ence to his senatorial preference with
but little regard to his fitness for the
position. The consequence Will be that
the man who Is the most active and
popular may so to the United States
senate but we. take the risk OF having
a very inefficient body OF legislators.
Why not eliminate this question be-
fore the election by nominating our
candidate by n state convention to be
held for that purpose about next May
or June? Let the people send dele.
gates to a state convention, who wifi
nominate q candidate acceptable TO the
majority. It is true we will have nc
regular state convention this year. but
why not call one? I have not consulted

command much more respect than one

Republican voter In the state would
have an opportunity to express himself.

lodged our political enemies In this
