A feature Of the opening week of

A feature or the opening week of
congress will be some uncommonly IN
teresting contests In the senate and
house. The contest over W. A. Clark's
seat will attract attention. OF impor-
lance will be the effort to expel Con-
gresham Brigham Roberts OF Utah.
1t is not now believed that the opposi-
ton to him will attempt anything ex-
cept expulsion. All suggestions of 9TH
er methods of attacking his right to a
seat have been impossible. The validity
of his title to his seat in congress is
conceded, even by. the hysterical people
who have preached the crusade against
him. 1t is not his right to seat, but
his right to sit in it that will be con-
tested. Undoubtedly a resolution look
ing to his expulsion will be introduced
the very first day congress is in ses-
sion. There is, however, no probability
that it will be voted on for severa.
weeks: perhaps not for several months.
And, notwithstanding the barrels of
resolutions and petitions that have
been filed with the clerk of the house
against him, there is no likelihood that
the vote when taken will be adverse to
him. The democratic members of con-
gress will vote almost solidly against
expulsion, and it takes a tWo-thirds
vote to expel. Some eastern republican
leaders who have been interviewed here
have shown disposition to make the
question partisan one, in the hope of
weakening democratic congressman
from doubtful districts by the charge
of pro- Mormonism. But it has devel-
oped that a considerable number of
republicans will vote for Roberts on the
ground that the expulsion of regular
ly elected and fully qualified represent
tative would be gross outrage. In an
interview with your espondent to-day
Senator Clarence D. Clark of Wyoming
said: 81 have no doubt whatever that
Roberts will retain his seat. and no
hesitancy in saying that he ought to
hold 1t. 1t is not a question of Nor
monism at all; only one Of the title of
a. congressman to the seat to which he
was elected, and a right Of the state
to send a congressman to the house
and have him seated. Yes, I have heard
Roberts an example, and to discourage
the sending Of a polygamist to con-
gress. That would be interesting in
deed. If they put Roberts out, who
would they permit to come in? Per-
haps Alma Eldridge, the republican
candidate last year in Utah. His po-
sition on the proposition of polygamy
Is, I understand, practically identical
with that of Roberts No, there Is moth
ing involving either craftsmanship or
Mormonism in the question. Roberts
was elected he holds the certificate:
he is entitled to remain in his seat, and
l should certainly SO vote were l. a
member of the house"

PENSION MATTERS.
A Grand Army Committee Calls Upon

the President.
Washington, Nov. 13.-The committee
on pending legislation appointed at the
recent encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic at Philadelphia
called at the white house to-day and
presented their report adopted at the
encampment asking for a modification
of certain matters relative to the PEN
sions. The committee consisted of D.
B. Brown of GAINESVILLE. Ohio. chair
man; General A. D. Shaw, commander
in-chief: Major J. w. Burst of Syca-
more, ILL.,. General Dan L. Sickles of
New York, Charles Clark Adams of
Boston and Past Commander-in- Chief
John M. Palmer.
The report asks the president, If he
deems it within his authority to do so,
to issue an executive order to the eff
feet that in determining the pensiona-
Bile status of a soldier and fixing his
rate of pension, the several disabilities
which he may have sustained shall be
grouped and taken into consideration.
The report further asks the president
to direct that the practice Of refusing
pensions to widows of soldiers who
have incomes of 1896 year or more be
discontinued and that the limit of in
come in such cases shall be raised to
$3.50 a year. The committee was with
the president for more than an hour
and a half. The committee stated that
while Mr.. Evans, the commissioner of
pensions, was heartily in accord with
the suggestions. he maintained, how
ever, that the remedy lay entirely with
congress. as in his Judgment the ex-
listing pension laws did not warrant
such construction.
The president listened with great at
tention to all the committee had to
say, and in conclusion assured them
that their question would have full
consideration.

DEBAUCHERY A SCIENCE
Years Since Philadelphia Had an
Honest Election.
is RULED BY THE MACHINE
Republican Organ; alton in Phila-
delphia-Secret Ballot Needed.

New York, Nov. 13.-The World will
publish tomorrow the following state
ment from John Wannamaker, dated
Philadelphia, Nov. 10:
1.-The recent revelations of corrup-
ton in the conduct of election in Phil
adelpha ought to deeply impress
thoughtful people of the entire coun-
try of the urgent necessity for ballot
reform. BY ballot reform I mean such
legal enactment and regulations as
will, first, make a ballot absolutely Sc
cret, and therefore absolutely free, and
second, such devices, whether mechan-
ical or otherwise, as will make true
account and return of the votes legal
~ cast as near as may be an absolute
certainty. This, it seems to me, is the
desiderat um of modern politics in this
country.
In Philadelphia we have not had an
honest election for many years and the
debauchery of the ballot has acquired
the system and precision Of a science
with the dominant so-called republican
machine. This has not been the
growth of a day or year. but has been
perfected by steady. systematic de-
velopment of the most minute details
Of original ingenuity. The machine has
educated it's followers in election crime,
rewarded them according to their per-
lection in fraudulent arts and extolled
and honored the leadership which best
knew how to devise and avail itself Of
corrupt practices and protect and pro-
mote it's debauched tools and disciples.
"Of course, 1t would have been inn
possible but for the dominant machine
in this city to have 50 thoroughly SUI
bordinated the electoral system to it's
dishonest uses had there been mi
nority organization of even ordinary
honesty and competency. But there is
no such minority organization In this
city.
What is called the democratic organ
iZation is but an agency of the corrupt
republican machine. AS result the
democratic vote has shrunk more than
two-thirds because honest democrats
declined to follow the leadership which
treats the party organization as an ar
ticle of merchandise and that has no
principle or purpose in politics other
than it's own sordid gains.
Republican government does not eX-
| list in this state, because while we have
republican forms we have no adequate
method for their ultimate expression in
a secret, free and pure ballot, guarded
! and conserved by devices competent to
| insure the purity and protect it from
| dishonest pefversions at the hands of
| corrupt political power

GRAVE TROUBLE FEARED
Charges OF Irregularities in the Heavy
Republican Counties-A Clash Ba-
tween Goebel and Bradley

Louisville. KY. Nov. 13.-The tangle
growing out of last weeks election
grows worse with each day. This was
the third day of the official count but
the work of the county boards of cam
vassers disclosed little information to
clear the situation. Chairman Long of
the republican compaign committee to-
day repeated his claim of plurality

n The completion of the returns to be
presented to the state board of election
commissioners when it meets at Frank
tort next Monday depends upon the
denomination of the contests which are
being raised in several parts Of the
state, notably the strong republican
counties of the Eleventh district, whers
the democrats claim tissue Eallots were
issued. These contests have aroused
telling in the localities affected. One Of
them involves the vote Of krox county,
which gave Taylor 1898 plurality. To

A CANAL SURVEY.
The Route Said to BE the Most MaIarial
and Presidential in the World.

Kingston. Jamaica. Nov, 13.-The
United States gunboat Scorpion arrived
here yesterday, conveying the United
States commission dispatched for the
purpose of surveying the suggested new
Columbian canal route between Gale
donta bay and the Gulf of San Mique,
for a sea level water way necessitating
only 26 miles of actual canal This is
the original selected route which was
rejected in favor Of the De Lesseps Co
lon-Panama route on the ground that
the latter already possessed railroad
transportation and other facilities,
while the former traversed the alleged
most deadly malarial district on the
face of the earth, including the extern
sive swamp areas rendered untenabe
by men on account of mosquitoes and
venomous tropical pests.

A Clash Threatened.

Goebel and the democratic leaders are
still waiting ON the final action of the
county boards of elections in Jefferson,
Christian, Knox, Johnson and other
counties. 1t is claimed that enough
fraudulent votes will be thrown out in
these counties to give Goebel a ma
jority on the face of the returns. The
city is excited tonight over a rumor
that the governor intends to declare
martial law in the event that Knox and
johnson counties are thrown out and
that he will refuse to recognize Goebel
as governor under such conditions.
This rumor of martial law is not gen.
orally credited, though there is almost
certain to be a serious clash between
Governor Bradley and the claimant
