THE SUGGESTION made by the Gazette
some time ago that the mimic war be-
tween the army and navy was tomfoolery
and gotten up for the benefit of the New
England summer resorts, is being quite
generally accepted. A Baltimore paper
after mentioning the results accomplish
ed bv the manoeuvres of the German
army and navy says;
To the exclusion of such problems cur
army and navy are plunged, at ire
mendous expense, into amimie war which
affords nothing more practical than gor-
geous naval parades and brilliant pyro-
fechnic displays for the edification OF
those who happen to be domiclled at
fashionable watering places.
And a New York paper says;
The mimic war along the coast here
abouts, particularly the part recently
played in it by the navy, notably the
toadying to the fashionables at Newport
and the entertainment of the Duchess OF
Marlborough after war was declared, Is
being sharply criticised in some circies'
r;diculed in Others and turned into FUN
Inv a large number of people. New
naners in New England and in this State
are doing much to increase the rldlcule
Inv calling attention to the social side OF
the war game, one Of them going so lar
rs TO assert that the naval part OF the
programme seems to have been prepared
especially to please the social acquain,
lance of Capt. French E. Chadwick. "
1t has long since been held that the re-
nublicans regard this as a personal gov
eminent to be conducted according to the
tastes of those who happen to be IN
charge, and the above excerpts would
90 TO show that the heads of the army
and navy departments certainly enter

TUESDAY EVENING. SEPT. 9, 1902

THE OPINION of Attorney-Generai
Anderson that citizens who have not
resided two years in the State, one year
in a county. and three months in pre-
c;nct cannot register under the new
constitution. even thought qualified IN
all other respects, is of much Importance
to all Virginians. The Attorney-Gen-
erals opinion, while not official, Is IN
teresting nevertheless, and in 1t he Is
sustained by Judge Wallace of the Cor
poration Court of Fredericksburg. In
his opinion the Attorney General holds;
The requirements of residence in the
the new constitution were designated 10
eliminate a large number OF floating
voters. who we're menace to the wei
fare Of the State. They were adopted
for tbe same reason which prompted
other southern States to adopt similar
provisions, and will, doubtless, get rid
of ten unworthy votes for every good
man whose right to vote is postponed.
Neither compliance with requirements
of the old constitution for ownership OF
nropertv will avail anything if citizen
has not resided in the State, county, or
city for the time required by the new
constitution.
Judge Wallace decided that a man
cannot register until he has lived IN
county for twelve months, even though
he is qualified to vote under the old con-
stitution. and even though the only pro
vision of the new constitution with whlcf
he could not comply was the twelve
months clause. Judge Wallace in the de
cision stated that he was expected to con
strue the law as itappeared in the constitu
tion The new constitution in regard tt
voting differs materially from the dl
which only required one years residence
in the State. three months in the city OF
county and thirty days in ward Of
precinct. Now it would seem that the
only redress a man has who moves IRON
one section of the State to another is tc
register at his home aud then get a
transfer to his new one.

A DISPATCH elsewhere in today
Gazette shows to what extent the rabid
nature of some strikers is carried.
They yesterday attempted to close the
public schools of Summit Hill, Pa,
because the children of non-unlon
parents attended The spirit which
animates the rank and file of some
labor movements is satanic and the
more protracted the conflict the more
fierce become the participants. When
men-or people calling themselves
sucb-make issues with little helpless
and innocent children it is about time
that what little sympathy was ever ex-
pressed for them was being recalled.

ANmPoRTANT DECISION.

A question affecting citizens in every
county and city in this State was decided
yesterday in an opinion by Attorney
General Anderson as well as by the
CORPORATION Court of Fredericksburg.
Judge Wallace. This opinion is that
in order to have the right to register and
become voter under the new Consti-
tuition man must have lived in the
State at least two years, in county one
wear and in a precinct three months.
This opinion was telegraphed yesterday
by the Attorney General TO Mr.. Charles
/. StengIe, editor of the Free Lance, in
Fredericksburg. Major Anderson, speak
ing of this clause in the Constitution,
said that he regarded it as one of the
most important in the entire instrument,
and that such a provision had been
embodied in all of the suffrage plans
considered.
A dispatch from Fredericksburg says:
"The appeal of Mr.. Charles |. Stengle
from the decision of the Board of Regis
trars of the Upper ward IN this city came
up before Judge Wallace, in the Corpora
ton Court, this morning. Mr.. Stengle
appeared in his own behalf and the Com
monwealth Attorney for the State. The
question, which will affect the registra-
ton of large number of voters all over
the State. was whether or not a man en-
titled to vote under the old Constitution
and coming up to all the requirements
under the new, except as to IL months
residence in the county, under clause IL,
could be denied the right TO register.
Judge Wallace in the decision stated
that he was expected to construe the law
as it appeared in the Constitution and
could not allow himselfto be influenced
by what this or that member of the Con-
stitutional Convention intended the law
to mean. The decision is very impor-
tant one and has been awaited with much
interest ~
