TILE aovERNon,s NAMES.

Quite q stir has been raised by
some private searching of records as
to Governor Montague's tax -dodging.
VI course the pop-gun papers will
attribute this revelation to Senator
Martin, but the truth is that the
newspapers we're the first to usher in
upon the Senator and his friends the
fact that the Governor had been put
In hole by person IN no way con-
nected with the Senator's canvass.
After speaking on public schools in
Staunton bunch of gentlemen were
discussing theGovernor's speech when
one remarked that the Governor had
not done his part for the free schools
and that he had come near being
caught on the capitation tax prereo-
uisite. And this led to investipa
ton, which showed that the Cover
nor for seven years had not paid his
taxes, and not until 1t was made
essential to voting did he pay the
back taxes.
The Governor is very much ratified
over the matter, but excuses himself
on the ground that the tax hills were
not presented to him. Poll taxes 90
to the support of the public free
schools. Without taking the Cover
nor to task, it is not sacrilege to ask
what would become of a candidate
for constable if he had been seven
years delinquent in poll taxes? He
wouldn't have remembered his name
when the voters got through with
him.

I'm MEMoRIAM.

Harry, little son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Silai
A. Whitaker; born in Nebraska on DE
cember 12, 1900, and died Mt "Salt
Pond" Hopeside, Virginia, on the morn
ing of July 8, 1905.
On Nebraska's nowery plain,
Beside the rolling, sparkling Platte.
Where oft the warriors head hath lain
On the moss-covered rocks. they sat
And pressed to their breasts the first bud
or love, inhaled the infants breath,
Dreamed OF halcypn days when there would
BE no thought OF pain or death.
To the Chesapeake,s shores they came
And smiled where Pocahontas played
by shady rills and roaring main;
Saw the babes glee aud wary blade
Grow beneath the tasseled sheen.
The sun bursting from its briny lair
Lighted the golden brow. to wean
The brilliant boy from a fathers care.
Disease reached its mighty hand
And caught the baby boy In its iron grasp.
Like the bolt OF some nery brand
From on high bade the stifiing gasp
Close the infant boys eyes
Ere the spirit took its flight
While falling fast a mothers tears
Guide it 10 the shores of eternal light.
Ma. Pa and Grandpa dear, farewell.
No more baby's arms will clasp thy necks;
Grieye not for me. for dwell
With those where sorrow never breaks
A FRIEND.

man.? He was a humbug. He
never believed his own utterances.
His roarings and rantings were mere
"buncombe," to secure "seat in

mind that his fellow. demagogues

fire they could not quench.
Virginians are weary of sots,
blatherskites and hirelings of parties
with jobs. in our capitol. We have
no use for Edison cylinders that reel
off stored-up and stale rhetoric. The
"favorite sons" have supplied a
gaudy glory of garish words to last
for century. Advance our practical
affairs. Bring Virginia abreast of
the most progressive and prosperous
State. Cease gable.

MONTAGUE VS.. MARTIN.

To the man who is posted on the
political history of Virginia of recent
years, there can be nothing more
grotesque and ludicrous than the
declarations of the Hon. Andrew
Jackson Montague in his charges
against aud attempts to belittle the
character and standing of Senator
Martin.
Naturally one would conclude that
in his death, General Fitzhugh Lee
had bequeathed his mantle to the yig-
orous, loquacious and receptive Gov
ernor. But if the reader will take q
peep behind the scenes and make q
few inquiries into the true inward
ness of the political horoscope of
the pact, he will be rather surprised
at the facts that he will find con-
fronting him. When the canvass of

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-01-12

Waterbury people can now grasp the gigantic undertaking which the Con- solidated railroad has under way in this city. As outlined in our news col l,mns yesterday, the company has noti- fled 112 owners of property that the railroad wants their holdings before the work can be finally completed. When it is all finished Waterbury will he second to no city in New England in the matter or railway accommoda- tions The carrying on of the work is bound to make some people sore and rail at the corporation which darcs to thus intrudc, but no doubt when the wrinkles are smoothcd out and the new station built, every one, even those who are grumbling loudest at present, will be delighted with the change. It is monster undertaking surely, and when completed old settlers will hard ly recognize the new Waterbury.
