Ball be admitted. Rayburn, Of Pow
eshiek, and Henning, of Alamakee,
spoke against this move, declaring that
Balls election as an Independent

ton. and pointed to the step taken

republican caucus when elected as an

A PROVED MS CASE.


The Democratic press Is making
a great howl about the seating OF Del.
egate Davis. OF Writ county, In his
contest against Smith.
The facts are that Davis proved his
case with competent Testimony, while
Smith produced no evidence to Justify
his claim to the seat, relying solely
upon the iimsy technical point that
the notice Of contest was not served
within the time allowed by law. The
legislature being the sole Judges OF
the right of It's members to sit in its
deliberations, has d right at any time
to inquire into the legalityko OF the cleo.
ton Of It's members. The testimony
produced before the committee on
privileges and elections was sufficient
to Justify the unseating OF the Demo.
cratic member OF the house. There
were no high handed methods resort.
ed to to tnseat Smith such us: have
been brought into play at will by the
West Virginia Democracy when they
held the lnajorities. In a trial in any
fair court of Law the finding in favor
OF Delegate Davis would have been
the same as that Of the committee
which heard the evidence.

The festival Of st. Peters Chair,
celebrated with great solemnity and
splendor in st. Peters. Rome, on
each eighteenth day OF January, had
its origin iii the eighth century
possibly even before that time. The
chair, aid, plain and worm.eaten, on
which st. Peter Is said to have been
ipontiicated, Is enshrined byaa mag:
niicentS throne supported by four
gigantic figures. and mounted upon
a tribune decorated by Michael An.
cello. The throne stands at the ext
'tremity OF the great nave behind the
altar Of st, Peters The chair itself
cannot be viewed even by the Pope
himself, and 1t Is declared that It has
only once been p%rofaned by the in:
spection ofmortal eyes. The Yene.
tians at one time claimed to possess
the chair OF st. Peter, but 1t was
discovered about a century ago that
this supposedly sacred article bore
the minuat Inscription, There is but
one God. and Mahomet is his pro.
phet.na It Is supposed. that this chair.
bearing the Mohammedian declare:

the east by the Crusaders. The fes;

as an expression OF gratitude for the

The recent death in France OF
Lieut.. Bruno Garibaldi, grandson Of
the immortal Giuseppe, proved that
courage and bravery are still quail.

although the present.day wearers Of
the name lack the military genius Of
the liberator OF Italy, Bruno Carl.
baldi was the son Of Ricciotti Carl;
baldi, who also offered his services
to the Allies at the outbreak of the
war. The young officer commanded
a company which attacked a German
position in the Argonne forest, BY a
bayonet charge they dislodge the Ger
mans and drove them from their
renches. Bruno EGaribaldi was In the
forefront of the fighting, and received
a severe wound! After receiving
first aid he returned to the head Of
his troops, and was hotly pursuing
the Germans when II was struck BY
another bullet. This time the wound
was almost Immediately fatal, but
with his dying gasp young Garibaldi
urged his men forward. Lieut.. Carl.
baldi's father, Ricciotto G~aribaldf,
raised a large army Of Italian yolun.
teers, in spite of the veto Of the
Rome government. Popular en-.
thusiasm in Milan, San Martino and
Rayenna, where the contingents were
raised, was SO high that the govern.
ment did not dare interfere, fearing
a revolution. -Four Carloads are
now fighting for France, and another
large contingent Of Ricciotti Carl.
baldi's volunteers are supposed to be
fighting with the Serbs. The sons
and grandsons Of the great Italian
patriot have been more or less porm..
nent in nearly all the wars Of re.
cent years, including the Balkan anu
Mexican conflicts. In offering their
services to France the descendants Of
Garibaldi are following his example,
as in 1870 the Italian patriot went to
the assistance Of the French; republi.

Just o month before King Wilhelm

these words: "The North German

.ces Of Germany, approaches with the
prayer that your majesty will deign

crown. The Teutonic crown on the

Twenty;six states comprised the
stitutional confederated state under
the presidentship Of Prussia. BY the
proclamation at Versailles the imper.
.ial office became hereditary In the
House Of H%ohenzollern, and the Prus-
sian kings were given the executive
power of the empire, with the right to
declare defensive war and make
peace, conclude alliances and enter
into treaties with foreign nations.
The kings of saxony. Bavaria and
Wurtemburg, and the many grand
dukes. dukes and princes, were left
by. the imperial u~nification with their
titles and courts, but with little more.
Each state in the empire retained a
certain amount OF home rule, but the
heads of all the states except Prus.

the reigning kings. princes and dukes
of the minor states have been more

NEUTRAL COMMERCE
Y TREATIES.


How do the Bryan peace treaties
provide for such an emergency issue
as has arisen between this country,
representing and having the support
of all other n%eutrals, and England, re
garding the search and seizure of
chips of commerce In time Of war?
There is no dispute Of the right OF
a belligerent to seize and search neu.
trail ships carrying c%ontraband goods.
We exercise that right freely during
the Civil War and would again. But
the issue is a more or less fine.haired
one of the circumstances under which
the right is exercised, and whether
neutrals are to continue to be an.
noyed by unnecessary delays and
holdups Of cargoes not contraband
in fact.
The Bryan peace treaties provide
that in the event that nations are I'M
able to come to an agreement by ne.
gotiation, they shall resort to arhi:
tration, but that pending arbitration
for the space Of a year there shall
not be resort to war. Evidently such.
provisions do not satisfy emergency
difficulties I (which one of the two
countries concerned is the sufferer,
as this country and other neutrals
are the sufferers in the present case,
while the nation complained Of, Eng.
land, profits by the continuance Of
the practice complained Of. A year
would be a long time to wait under
such circumstances, even though the
indemnity might be very heavy, when
finally awarded. 4
