viii Not Declare a Vacancy.

William Campbell, of Getzendan-
ner's senatorial district, the thirteenth,
sent to Governor Atkinson direct IN
quiry as to what he was going to do
in connection with Senator Getzen-
banners seat in the State Senate. The
Governor replied indirectly by wire'
the substance of his answer being
this:
1.-THE executive, legislative and Ju-
dicial branches of the government are
separate and distinct. The executive
cannot usurp the power of either OF
the other branches. Getzendanner
has declined to resign and says he will
be present at the next meeting OF the
Legislature to perform his duties as
Senator. The same is true Of Pierson.
Since these men have declined to re-
sign, it is not my prerogatlve to de-
clare their seats vacant. The Senate
alone has the power to pass upon the
election and qualifications Of its mem
bers. If I were to issue proclama-
ton and order special election IN
this case and give the parties elected
certificates of election, the Senate
might reject them and retain the two
old members. 1t certainly would have
the power to do so, if it so desired.
If such action were to occur, 1t will
be readily seen that l had unjustly IN
terfered with the business of the legls-
lative department of the State, =

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inlamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

A Great ZooloqicaI Garden.

The Geological Society of New York
propose to construct what will probably
be the finest geological garden in the
world in Bronx Park, New York. The
society expects to open the garden to
the public in a satisfactory way on May
l, 1899. While the work is progressing
with all due rapidity, the old and well
approved plan of relieving biliousneSs
and constipation through the beneficent
agency of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
finds general recognition. This excel
lent family medicine is a safeguard
against malaria and rheumatism, and
removes indigestion and nervousness. 1t
invigorates the system through inn
proved digestion, fortifies it against dis
ease, and counteracts the effects of over
work, mental or physical.

CONGRESSMAN DAYTON has sent
long letter to each of the postmastera
in his district and to all the federal
ofice-holders who have received APP
pointments through his influence, in
which he earnestly implores their help.
He says:
There are none of US but what have
some friends in the opposition party.
You have yours. Can you not early and
before the campaign becomes hot, qui-
city 60 to three or four of your Demo
cratic friends-those upon whom you
can rely-and tell them that there is
some opposition to Dayton because OF
your appointment and that you want TO
make it up, and get them to promise to
vote for me on your account? You will
find it an easy matter to do and the re-
suit will show that instead Of us losing
anything we will gain.
This is a very nice little scheme, but
we doubt if it will work well. The
Democrats of this district will not be
fooled into pulling Mr.. Dayton chest
nuts out of the fire. Our Congress
man seems to be aware of the fact that
his appointments have weakened him.
but it is the inevitable result of giving
the loaves and fishes to the party lead
ers and utterly Ignoring the humble
privates. We publish this extract tc
warn our Democratic friends who are
to be approached Quietly" and round,
ed up to subserye Mr. .Dayton's politi'
cal purposes.

The Redistricting Act Was Illegal.

In the matter of the petition of the
board of ballot commissioners of JET
ferson county for writ of error from
the decision of Judge E. Boyd Faulk-
ner, of the Circuit Court, rendered on
September 10, granting a peremptory
mandamus against them, requiring
them to put the name of Frank II.
Harrison, of Morgan county, DEM
ocratic candidate for the House OF
Delegates, on the official ballot, and
deciding that the act Of the Republi-
can Legislature of 1897, changing the
seventh delegate district to consist OF
Berkeley and Jefferson counties, in
stead of Berkeley, Jefferson and Nor
gan, is unconstitutional and void, the
Supreme Court of Appeals at Charles
town on Monday refused the writ of err
ror and sustained Judge Faulkner.
The opinion was handed down by
Judge Brannon, president ofthe court,
and concurred in by the whole court.
The syllabus contains two points:
First, that the court has power to de-
clare an act redistricting, in whole or
in part, of the State unconstitutional
and void; second that the act of 1897
(passed by Republican Legislature),
changing said delegate district, is un-
constitutional and void, being in con-
travention of the constitution, which
provides that redistricting and appor-
tioning the delegates shall take place
only after each succeeding United
States census or once in ten years;
that this provision is mandatory, and
not merely directory, and that the
Legislature must obey it. The State
having been arranged into districts
by the Legislature of 1891, this must
stand until after another census, and
the Legislature of 1897 had no power
to change this arrang ement.
The ballot commissioners will now
place Mr.. Harmison's name upon the
regular Democratic ticket.

SECRETARY ALGER has just COM
pleted a tour Of the army camps
where our soldiers-those that are
left-are doing their best to fight
against the various diseases and mis-
fortunes that have befallen them.
The Secretary has been doing a vast
deal of talking, putting the blame on
first one thing and then another, and
he has made desperate efforts to clear
his own skirts of the responsibility
He has found some persons who were
not afraid to speak their minds to him.
For instance, General Sanger said to
him: "Your chief cook and bottle
washer down there, l refer to DR..
