Mexico City, December 24.-The resig-
nation of General Bernardo Reyes. who
since January. 1900 has held the post
of minister of war, has caused a decId-
ed sensation in political circles. He
has made an excellent record in this
office and has built up slowly a great
reservist army which is an auxiliary
to the regular forces. His administra-
ton of his office has been praised on all
hands. and in his retirement from the
cabinet he carries with him the gen.
eral good will Of his ministerial asso-
ciates.
1t is reported that General Reyes VII

tant state of N.euvo Leon, whose cap,-
tai is the city of Monterey. 1t is prob
able that General Francisco Mena, at
present minister of communications n
public works, will succeed to the va
cancy in the war department.. involv-
ing some other cabinet changes.

Old Virginia Never Tire" is as ia
miliar to the reading public as any bit
of c~atch-phrase in the local patriotism
line turned out during the last half 4
dozen decades. Whenever a Virginian
run across this magnetic quartette of
words he is at once glued to the spot
and brushes aside other duties until
he mentally devours the new insplra-
ton. 1t must, therefore, be a source )f
Just pride to the Virginian who has
wandered far from the sacred SOIL"
and who is familiar with the develop
men of great statesmen in the Did
Dominion to learn that in this respect
she has recently broken the record. We
are told that Virginia in This late day
and strenuous period of political pull
brought out the greatest statesman of
them all. He has been elected TO the
Virginia legislature, and he halls from
, the mountainous regions of the COM
nlonWealth. His name is Joseph Banks.
and he carries around with him through
the historic corridor of the old capitol
an a~voirdupois of $50 pounds. Accord
ing to the printed reports. there is ia
the legislative halls no seat big enough
for him, and a monster chair had TO ~
made to order and put in the aisle to
one side to accommodate him Be
he went to Richmond to turn out laws
fol the state he had never been out Of
his remote mountain home. lie has
never worn a collar, and never saw a
street car until he embarked in the
craftsmanship business. He is Of the
republican persuasion, and defeated his
democratic opponent by 200 votes.
When one compares this colossal
statesman with the others who have
gone before, one cannot resist the con
clusion that Virginia is coming to the
front again as the home of great men,
George Washington, the Father Of His
Country: Thomas jefferson, the Father
of the Declaration of Independence:
James Madison, the Father Of the Con-
stitution; Patrick Henry. whose Give
Ne Liberty or Give BE Death" fired the
soul of the American patriot; James
Monroe John Marshall, Mason. Ran
dolph, Lewis, and q long list OF p~fri-
OTIS and statesmen, are naturally re-
called as products of the Mother Of
States and Presidents. But none Of
them were so great as the th~ree-hun-
dred and sixty pound member or Vir-
ginia's present legislature.
Nc reflection can he cast upon him
because he never saw a street car. for
neither did Washington nor Jefferson
nor any Of the ~isiingIlShed men
whose names are given above. That
! he never wore A collar canno be sneer-
ed at. for neither did any Of those other
great Virginia statesmen. One large
mistake he made. TO be sur@that OF
espousing the republican cause. Bus
that he is a great statesman who car

tablishes the fact that the day for big
