A Novel Question,

Elsewhere will be found decision OF
a novel question raised in the circuit
court of Harrison county. the opinion
being rendered by Hon. John W. Mason,
panying the decision. which will be APP
pealed to the supreme court. explains
fully the nature OF the case. The qucs-
ton involved Is, whether or not 4 man
loses his citizenship in the state by en-
listing in the volunteer service OF his
country in time OF war; the defendant
In the case being member of the First
West Virginia regiment, he having left
with the regiment last spring at the
outbreak Of III war. The complainant
in an attachment suit against the vol
unteer alleged that he was not n resi-
dent of the state. Incidentally It may
be stated that the regiment having been
mustered out Saturday. the volunteer
is en- route home at this time.
Judge Mason's decision is upon n
question which has doubtless never
been raised before. and Is interesting
from the plain practical manner in
which 1t Is rendered. The point raised
against the defendant certainly was a
peculiar one. when based on the theory

confronted with n fine state of affairs.

AFFAIR INQUIRY
In the Kidd Morris Case--What the
Recount In Wood Shows.

Parkcrsburg State Journal: The spe-
clal committee from the state senate
was here to-day TO recount the excepted
ballots for state senator In this county.
These ballots were oil described In the
notice Of contest or counter-notlce and
number over three hundred In all. The
silly and vicious charge that these bal
lots. which were all regularly noted. de-
scribed and excepted to on the recount
had by the county court, could by any
vlllainy be changed or manipulated, Is
an iaSult to the intelligence of the COM
m!ttec and the honor OF the county
clerk. 1t .s part OF the Democratic
conspiracy to throw mud at everybody
and every person, unless they submit to
the Democratic thefts OF Dunningtons,
Was and Brohard's seats in the house.
The recount of these disputed ballots in
Wood county showed that Mr.. Morris
was deprived OF number of votes OIL
which only one ballot clerk had written
his name on the bacl, of the ballot, in
stead Of both clerks as required BIZ law.
Also large number of other ballots
were rot counted either for Kidd or
Morris. when the intent of the voter
was clearly manifested. The recount OF
these excepted ballots was asked as a
matter Of fair p!av-but it raised fear

Thc Kidd-Arorris Recount.

The recount Of the Wood county bal
lots In the Kidd-Morris contest by the
senate committee at Parkersburg Sat-
llrday showed that Morris majority
was 1875 instead Of 1875, gain for him of
10 votes. By dispatch elsewhere 1t
Will be found that the committee found
the rejected or contested ballots ex-
actly as reported in the notice OF con-
test, thus showing that there had been
no manipulation OF the ballots in the
meantime, and they were SO identified.
The recount according to the intent of
the voter made gain for Kidd Of 126
votes and for Morris OF 196 votes, two
thirds of the ballots not counted being
Republican votes. 1t appears that near
ly six percent. of all the votes cast In
Wood county were rejected by the
county court under the strict construc-
ton of the law.
Senator Smith. one Of the senate COM
mittee. in speaking of the result, was
right when he referred to the revela-
lions made by the recount. when he
declared that Morris had good grounds
for a contest. His further suggestion.
and one which the Intelllgencer has fire.
quently made, that there is need of an
amended election law that will provide
for the manifest intent Of voters In
the counting OF ballots. is good one.
Under the strict construction OF the law
as 1t stands now thousands OF legal
votes in the state have been thrown
out.
1t seems that. In view Of the unfortu-
nate situations that have arisen from
the last election. members of the legIs-
lature should realize the necessity OF
an amendment that will cover this OBJ
lection and avert future troubles.

To-day Is set for the time TO take
the vote In the senate on the question
of the ratification of the peace treaty.
On the eve OF the taking of the vote 1t
is not known whether the necessary
two-thlrds will be given. 1t may pc
that the vote will not be taken promptly
on account of objections from the oppo-
sltion. and the desire Of Jones, OF Ar
kansas. and Allen, OF Nebraska. to
make speeches, Allen being understood
TO be the spokesman for Mr.. Bryan.
There will be two hours for debate,
however. and this may suffice.

Justice to Grants Son.

There seems to be misrepresentation
in many part OF the country concerning
the political belief OF L. S. Grant, the
son OF General Grant. the Republican
candidate for United States senator in
California. 1t has been widely pub
lisfed that he is free silver advocate
and supporter of Organism. Recently
the New York Press. laboring under
this impression, published the following
editorial. similar to others that have
been published:
In California there Is almost n tie vote
between two candidates. n son and name
sake OF General Grant leading by one vote.
This gentleman was 4 pronounced advo-
cate OF the free coinage OF silver only two
years ago. Even In California. where some
Republicans aScribc to the st. Louis plat
form with mental reservation. II is doubt
full II Il state convention would have put
before the people Il mar fdftfticss to hts
fathers policy and careless Of his fathers
name.
The fact Of the matter Is that the son
and namcsakc of General Grant has
been confused with his other son, Jesse
r. Grant, who is also living in Califor-
mia, and was free silveritc In 1896.
Ulysses S. Grant, Jr., Is n Republican
and n gold man, and assisted in the
framing Of the St. Louis platform in
the convention that nominated Prcsi-
dent Mckinley. In writing to the Press
to, correct the wrong impression, Ira
E. Bennett says that the Republicans
OF California last November wiped out
the stain of Organism. and endorsed
the national administration. "a large
portion Of them now seek TO elect u.
s. Grant. Jr.. to the United States SEN
ate. In making this fight they should
not be handicapped by the failure Of
Republicans elsewhere to cordially sup
port them"
This ought to set everybody right. 1t
Is. regrettable that one OF General
Grants sons is not in line with his
party. but he should not be confused
with the one who Is.

Sam Jones said it was nothing against

Sam Jones, he is surely prospcring I'M

did in 1896. Which shows again the
