Carnegie's Tribute to McKinlcy. j'ji Having exhausted a great deal of time [ criticising the President's* policy with | reference to the results of the war anil 'A the future governments to i>e adopted. for the Islands from which Spanish aug thorlty has been driven, Mr. Carnegie iv liim credit for^his attitude -toward Ik Cuba. He refers to the President's rec[ ommendation for the establishment of a [. "government which shall be free and In! dependent for the people of Cuba." "By I this single sentence/! gays Mr. Carnegie, S "the President rises to his true position os a leader of the people and leads them K In the paths of righteousness. He has h kept the faith. , There is no vital j, Issue before the people but the settleI' xnunt of the dangerous questions arls?? *ng from the recent war, and the first || threat question the President has met and honorably settled. All honor to him for this. Honor to him also, the herald p; and protector of the Cuban republic, who jj(? holds sacred the pledge of his country ft to Cuba." P This comment on the part of Mr. Carp(V: negie, who has severely criticised the ET'" i'rcsiacnt 8 ea-cauca Vtiaaaraa ywttvjr Pf in advance of its announcement, the President having declared- that tt will be fek-' a matter of discussion after the treaty la fe concluded, serves to illustrate two points. First, that Mr. Carnegie, much | hs he disagrees with the Executive on t the generi policy of taking from Spain jjV the spoils of war. as a necessity of War, fe ' in the campaign to weaken the enemy, is not reasoning from a biased standpoint, but from a sense of conviction, and does not impeach the President's integrity I and his honor, nor impugn his motives. ? In this respect Mr. Carnegie differ* from ? . the partisan, critics of the admlnlatra\ ticn. "This first great question." he c says, "the President has met and honf oratoly settled. He h^s kept the faith." < That Is he has not departed from the original pledge, recommended by.him I and adopted by CTongress. Second, hav? ing j)aid this tribute to the President's faithfulness and his honorable and. patriotic course, it may occur to many that Mr. Carnegie might well await the President's attitude and his recommendations to Congrere concerning the other "vital Questions before the people in the i settlement of the dangerous questions 1:' arising from the recent war." The Executive who has honorably t. kept the faith In the first great question |,r. way be casHy trusted to face the others i'Jf honorably and without departing from the great principles of Americanism I which he advocates^ and which won for | him the confidence and the admiiWtlon fv of the nation. Very properly, htf^has |- stated that these questions must come up at the appropriate time. lie has not |swerved In a slngla-Incident from duty. Responsibilities were forced upon him ?i- which he met courageously, wisely and fc auccessfully. I The President will not chirk nor shift ? : responsibilities to come. He Is not an j?. "Imperlallsr, In the offensive sense that pj the term is used. He has been in- touch f-. throughout with public sentiment and has respected public opinion. He will continue to do so. Mr. Carnegie may yet ! . have opportunity to write words of eomj.-: mendatlon of the President's attitude in - all these vital problems which we are called upon to meet. This typical Amer jfr" lean lit not afraid of his responsibility g an.v more to-day than lie was throughout the war, nor will he violate or fall i' to appreciate his obligation to the peoI>ICongres* !n c.-t .! the qu^tl >n* by legislation, as It will settle the Cuban matter. The President if? the executive ft charged with the momentous duty of | carrying out the will of the people through th.dr representatives. We pre} diet here and now, that his personal attitude will meet with- public approval. Decision "Which Affect* tfii? Stale. An Important decision has been rendered by th<? attorney general of the \ I'rrited States, Mr. (Irigga. which has a direct bearing on the right of Senators Oetsendanner and Pferaon (JUpubll*' ' cans) to bold th?'ir seats In ihe Went | Virginia state senate. It Is a national ; precedent which justifies thi-claim made Ioyinc itepuonc^oH mat uie enuetmcnv of the two state senator* named In, the volunteer ecrvlce in a war emergency did not vacate their seats In the senate. The cane drcfaed by Attorney General Griggs wan that or Major General Joe "Wheeler, the hero of Santiago, brave old Confederate veteran and Demjcratle member of Congro.v. /)ur Democratic friends cannot charge tlii.H decision of the attorney general na a partisan on i, eince General Wheeler in one of tho louder* on the Democratic side of Congee**. Tho, decision I* that Geneva!

Section 6 of'Article 1 < of the federal constitution declares that t "no person holding any offlc?? unJer the t United States shall be a member of i either house during his continuance in < office." ' Section IS of Article 6 of the state constitution declares that "no person hold- 4 ing a lucrative office under this state 1 the United 8tates, or any foreign -gov- 1 eminent Fhall.be eligible to 1 a seat in the legislature." The decision of the attorney general f In#MaJor Wheeler's case Is to the effect 1 that the provision In the national consti- 1 tution refers to civil offices and not to a 1 commission in the military service.at * the time of the country's danger or an emergency of war. The decision applies fc> the case in dispute in this state. It confirms the stand taken by the Republicans In behalf of the state senators mentioned. Even If it did not so apply, the two Democrats who Will appear to take their seats are not legally elected, for the Democratic senatorial executive committee of the districts had1 no authority by any sort of law to either declare a vacancy or order an election. This act was In direct violation of the ( constitution. i Treaty of Peace Finished. 1 The cable, brings us the news that the j Spanish-American peace treaty is fln- j lshed. President Day, of the American commission, states that every point upon j which there Is a possibility of an agreement is settled and all that remains Is \ the engrossing and signing of the treaty. This brings to an end all negotiations with everything favorable to the United i States, the Spaniards simpiy reiusms 10 < cede a coaling station on the Caroline J Islands. , Doubt and speculation may now be re- i gar dec! as at an end, and the public at- ' tention In both countries will be turned' to the subject of the ratification by the j proper authorities In the respective , countries?In our case the United States j senate. i The last wall of the Spanish commis- j sloners was uttered by Senor RIos, who had a word to say about the President's reference to the Maine's destruction, and which the American commissioner# per- 1 mitted to pass unchallenged, because a 1 discussion would have provoked bad { blood. !

The Intelligencer very much regrets j that its failure to publish a letter writ- t ten nearly two weeks since to the war 1 t board of Inquiry by one R. B. Roosevelt, , "a near relative of Colonel Roosevelt," ' is causing so much agony in the soul of our esteemed contemporary, the Regi6- , ter, which seems to think that the der- I tiny of the whole Nation rests upon the opinion of the "near relative" of Colonel Roosevelt, and the fact that the Intelll- < gencer did not select from the body of i a Saturday night report of the session of ' the commission this letter (which does | no; s-'em :o have set the country on fir?), i and publish It a day after the Sunday ' papers, suppressing all the remainder of , of fh#? hnnnl. art OUT neighbor did. 1 Had the Intelligencer supposed for an J Instant that Its failure to print this let- i ter, which was a complaint against the 1 beard's conduct of the Investigation, j would disturb the Register's peace of mind to the extent of causing it to devote a large amount of space cach day since to charging the Tntelllgcncer with "purposely suppressing" the document, < which the Register took the liberty to change and pass It off for a letter of Colonel Roosevelt, out of pure charity for Its neighbor It would have given ( space to the article. It would for the instant have foregone Its usual custom of attending'to Its own affairs Jn Uh own way, and would have averted, In the In- ' tercet of humanity, the terrible effect that its conduct has had on the Register's alleged mind. i In the meantime our disturbed friend's readers are still in Ignorance of the proceedings of the committee on that fateful Saturday, and all they know about them Is the letter, which has excited no especial Interest In the country; that the missive was written by a near rela"" ?

There are many Important questions before the public for discussion. There are, for instance, the Democratic attempt to strnl another legislature, the great national problem* which confront I us, an Important BenflorJ of Congress, the 1 splendid growth In -the volume of busl- , ness, our commercial victories of peace t as well as the triumphs of war, history that Is being made so rapidly at home j and abroad?but no question Is so Im- i portant In the mind of the chief organ of ; the Democracy in West Virginia, Bo vital to the welfare of the Nation and j the component citizens thereof, as ItH opinion of "Pecksniff" and the Intelll- i genctr** neglect to publish a letter written by a "near rclailve" of Colonel ' Roosevelt, which the public ceased to think abutit nearly t wo vweelta ago.
