Eyadine the Real Issue.

What Is the constitutional authority in
this case which shall decide whether L0-
gan Is entitled to his seat or not, II not
the house Of delegates, Itself, which the
constitution says shall be the Judge of
the qualifications Of lts members !-SeBis-
This point isn't involved In the Lo-
gan case at all. and it IS in continually
urging 1t that our nelghbor establishes
a false premise and does an injustice to
Attorney General Ruclker, upon whose
statement, recently published, 1t Is
commenting. The constitutional ap-
thority referred to by Mr.. Rucker is the
state supreme court Of appeals, and he
80 stated in the letter the Register pub
lished. and which point that paper sees
ct to ignore.
It Is true that the constitution gives
the legislative body the right to be the
Judge OF It's membership In contest
regularly brought before 1t, but the Lo-
gan case is in different situation than
that contemplated by the provision. 1t
is before the supreme court OF the state
on an appeal from the decision OF the
circuit court of Monroe county. which
decided that Logan was NOT legally
elected. THIS DECISION HAS NOT
BEEN REVERSED. and the supreme
court has decided not to hear the case
until a date which will occur AFTER
THE LEGISLATURE ADJoURNs.
This status of the case involves a fine
legal question as to the title OF Logan
TO the seat. Mr.. Fuckers sole PROPOSE
ton is that Logan has no title to the
seat until that case is decided on the
appeal in his favor. In the meantime
the circuit courts decision virtually
giving the certificate to his opponent
stands. Perhaps neither gentleman is
entitled to the seat; but in any event,
the legal and constitutional points in
volved are hung up in the supreme trt-
bunal with no decision prospective until
after the legislature adjourns. This is
the whole point in the matter, and the
one the Register totally ignores. But It
exists, nevertheless.

1t is pleasure to note that the COM
pllcations and national embarrassments
consequent upon a rejection of the
treaty Of peace will be averted by its
ratification. Vice President Hobart is
authority for the statement that 1t will
undoubtedly be ratified without delay.
The change Of sentiment, even on the
part Of the most radical opponents OF
expansion" is due to the growing be-
lief that ratification does not mean an
nexatlon Of the Philippines, but will
leave the disposal Of the archipelago
open to discussion and settlement af-
terward. This is In line with the ad-
mlnlstFation policy which is being adj
vocated regardless Of party. 1t IS for
tunate for the country that this wise
manner Of treating the matter is meet
ing with so much approval, and that
party politics form no line Of division
on the treaty. Senator Hoar, one of the
leaders Of the opposition to mis-called

THE INTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING, DECEMBER 2e, 1903.


IN view OF the Democratic local or
cams impertnent inquiry II the Re-
publican leaders In West Virginia can
not select their senatorial candidate In
the state, instead Of packing up traps
ana skipping of to washington to de-
teFmine ON candidate we feel 1usti-
ned in calling Its attention to some In
teresting points in Washington spe-
cial this morning about conference Of
Democrats leaders held in Washing
ton upon pretty much the same sort s
business. and OF a character that the
Register will not be pleased to hear
about.
For further points concerning this
conference, which couldn't be held
within the state, we refer our friend to
senator Faulkner and Colonel McGraw.
Colonel McGraw was not present, to be
sire, but his comments on 1t would
make interesting reading for the Regis
ter's constituency and for Mr.. Faux
ner's friends; also for the friends Of Ex-
Governor 0Iccorkle and few other
Democratic leaders. Perhaps the Reg
ister's own comments on this breach Of
d rule laid down by 1t for Republicans
70 follow would be edifying, and might
save the ship of West Virginia Democ-
racy from the rock 1t is steering
against.
The conference alluded to has re-
suited in a plan on the part Of some Of
the abIest Democratic manlpulatOrs to
bring out a candidate against Colonel
AfcGraw for the senate, and to protest
against the seating Of any contingent
game to achieve party success. not JUS
tihed by the law and the evidence. This
Is an interesting situation within the
ranks Of the Democracy at such a
crisis. It develops a condition which
may lead to interesting results, and the
outcome viii be watched with interest.
Some apt references are made to some
opposition not long since to Senator
Faulkner, which resulted doubtless in
his being ruled out of the senatorial
race. Another dissertation on Wash
ington conferences from our Market
street friend is in order.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there Is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure In all It's stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitut!onal treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure IS taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces OF
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation Of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature In do

Tbat washIngtoh Conference.


The Democratic organ seems to think
that conference OF leading West Viz
ginia Republicans at the residence OF
senator Ell6lns in Washington is some
thing to be severely condemned as rev.
pulmonary. II not positively treason
able. To be sure these gentlemen are
free American citizens, and their per-
eonai movements and their meetings to
consult with regard to political situa-
ton in which, as representatives of a
party, they are interested. are matters
which are not at all unusual. nor are
they forbidden by law, but they were
guilty, 1t seems, of gross breach Of
confidence in not first consulting the
Democratic organ, or at least admitting
st to the council.
It was daring performance, this
thing Of party leaders meeting to con-
suit about the matter OF maintaining
the majority in the legislature on joint
ballot, which the Democratic organs

Vice Of the Register. openly boast win be

that which will come up when the leg

which there is dispute, cannot be car
Fied out without well defined plans
based on the legal rights Of the respec-

eftort. This Is as much true OF the
Democratic side as the Republican side.
Does anybody suppose for an instant
that tho Democrats Will conduct their
contests without organization, without
consultation, without plans Of proceed

been no conference on tho part Of the
Democratic leaders to look out for the

Mr.. Carnegie ls alleged to have writ
ten a letter to Colonel Bryan asking
him for a personal interview, assuring
him that no believed him to be "the
only man in the country who can save
us from tho twin evils OF Imperialism

to be peculiarly affected by this unnec-
essary scare and has reached the point
Of Ennnticlsm. The business world. and
the public In general, may we'll wonder
how Mr.. Carnegie proposes to reconcile
his sudden admiration for Bryan with
his attitude toward the peculiar iinan-

The appointment Of Ethan A. Hitch-
cock, Of Missouri. present United States
ambassador to Russia. as secretary Of
the interior, succeeding Mr.. Bliss, is an
other evidence Of the good Judgment Of
the President. The position Of secre-
tary Of the interior calls for a man Of
business training. sound Judgment and
good executive ability. all of which re-
quirements are possessed by Mr.. Hitch-
cock. No department under the gov
eminent covers a wider field. or has
greater responsibilities for the execu-
tive head to shoulder than this. Under
the department Of the interior are the
Indian bureau, the patent Office. the
pension bureau. the land ONCE and a
number Of other minor bureaus, and its
work extends throughout the country.
The general opinion Is that Mr.. Hitch
cock is peculiarly well adapted for the
duties, as was Mr.. Bliss.
