pered some of his democratic colleagues
by introducing a resolution declar-
ing the action of the minority III
attempting to compel all democrats to
vote against the Dominican treaty, re-
gardless OF their convictions, unconstilu-
tioual. OF course the republicans are de-
LIGHTED with the situation and will DO all
in their power to bring about dissension
among their democratic colleagues, but
The ultimate effect of the resolution is
expected to corsummate what all the
recent years of democratic leadership IN
the Senate have failed TO do; namely,
the welding together of the democratic
membership into 4 workable partisan
machine. II may cut Of as many "a five
CT six independent democrats from the
party councils. but it will establish an
esprit de corps among the remaining ones
which will be valuable to the minority.
Some of the democrats predict that Mr..
Patterson will land in the republican
camp before his term as Senator has ex-
yIred. If he does he will have boxed
the political compass, for he 6as been
a republican, a democrat, poPulist and
q free silverite.

A MEMBER of the Legislature who
has studied these measures finds that in
the aggregate bills introduced thus far
for special appropriations ask for 81, OOO,-
600 more than the regular appropriations
which total about "a, GOO, 600. A grab
game seems 10 be going on in Richmond
but when one remembers that the States
surplus is only about $500, 900, it can
readily be seen that some of the money
seeking persons and institutions are
liable to be disappointed before the Leg
islature ends its work.

TUESDAY EVENING. FEB. 8. 1906.

Ir is reported in Richmond hat SEN
timeut in favor of the bill abOlishing
the poll tax az a prerequisite to voting
is gaining support in both branches of the
Legislature II is hoped that this is
mistake and that the bill will be defeated
by an overwhelming majority. The
chief reason given for the calling of the
constitutional convention of few years
ago, was that the affairs of the State
might be placed in the hands OF an in.
telligent and patriotic electorate. But
for this, the convention would never
have been held. Whatever mistake the
convention made, ii acted wisely in re-
gard TO the franchise clauses and these
should be left severely alone. 10 thou
sands of instances the only tax paid is
the capitaliou tax and this money goes
I, the support Of the public schools. de
j. poor citizen indeed, who has not The
patriotism to pay dollar and hall
year to the support of The State govern
ment and Der schools. Still there are
many such and experience has shown
that The surest way to collect this tax
from such men is TO make it pre-
requisite to their voting. Other States
have adopted this plan and have found
IT most efiicacious and so has Virginia
IL is observed that those most anxious
for the repeal of the law are the repnb-
can members of the Legislature. Ibis
is lul natural aud the democrats should
n II play int the hands of their oppo-
nents. The late Senator Barbour, one OF
the most astute men who ever repre-
scented Virginia in the halls of Congress,
once asked, Why change law that
gives us forty thousand majority and thu
question has never been satisfactorily an
swered. Under the new constitution and
the franchise clauses thereof, the demo-
crsts carried the State by nearly forty
thousand majority, so from a party SIS
well as from patriotic standpoint,
the franchise laws should be let alone.
