BECAUSE he failed to obtain from the
President the appointment of his own
man as internal revenue collector at In
danapolis, Representative Overstreet,
secretary of the republican cnmpaign
Committee, has announced he will retire
from that committee and give no further
aid to the success ofthe republican party
throughout the country. Representative
Babcock. chairman of the committee,
has also announced that he will with
draw. He, too, is dissatisfied with the
Presidents methods of dispensing fede-
raj patronage. Senators Dick and For
aker and Mr.. GrosvenOr, of Ohio, are 10
open revolt because the President has
decided not to reappoint an Ohio man
a. Consul at Glasgow, and has named n
man from Tennessee. Other Congress
men are equally indignant, but are wait
ing to see what happens to Messrs.
Overstreet, Dick, Foraker and others be-
fore they declare a general instruction
against the President. In his method OF
making federal appointments the Presi-
dent is making many enemies in House
and Senate, and there are open grumb-
lings from those Congressman who con-
slider federal patronage political asset,
and merry war is predicted.

The Opera House.

Why is it that Alexandris haiI had so
few attractions at the Opers House in the
last year or SO? We should have one
show week, ST least, if not two. | am
sure the best of patronage would be given
them If they were good ones, and yet We
have them semi-occasionally. The man
sgement of the Opera House doubtless
know their business, but | don't see any
reason why we should have so few at
fractions, sbile even smaller cities in
Virginia have Them each week. The
Alexandria theatre would be better pa
trouized If the shows we're more frequent.

The opposition to the enforcement OF
the vaccination law has reached the cli-
max at the Spruce Run School, in Madi-
son township, Pa, where "White Gaps"
have warned the teacher, Miss Mary
Dye, that further observance upon her
part of the law requiring that the school
children be ysccinsted would not be
tolerated and would be dangerous to her.
Upon her arrival e. the school Monday
Miss Dye found the warning, bearing
the usual skull and cross bones, nailed to
the door. The teacher says she is not
alarmed by the warning, and will keep
the school open and enforce the law.
Interesting developments are expected.

THURSDAY EVENING. JAN. IL. 1906

GOVERNOR MONTAGUE sent his last
message to the legislature yesterday.
Tne Governors inaugural address four
years ago attracted attention from the
fact that it was comparatively brief and
minus useless verbiage. Astounding only
in practical observations, such IS should
be made by man about to occupy the
pubernatorial chair. His last message
is on the same lines, and his recon-
mendations are such as would naturally
emanate from an able man, close OBJ
server aud one who has made good use
of his experience. Among other things
he urges purity in elections; argues for
compulsory education; recommends an
increase of 100000 for the public
schools; shows the necessity for better
public roads and says the State should
aid the counties in road making; advO-
Gates the fitting up of a hall OF fame
and calls attention TO certain needs in
connection with insane institutions.
He recommends what he considered TO
I've needed appropriations for various
purposes, but he advises sgainst extrava-
gance and protests against any reduction
IN the present low tax rate. He opposes
corruption in politics aud favors law
against corporation contributions to cam
paign funds: he also advises against any
person paying anOther's poll tax and
urges the passage of a Law permanently
disfranchisiug the man who sells his
vote. The Governor concludes 81 fol-
lows:
Great opportunities are fast coming to Viz
gina and we must grasp them with the spirit
Of enterprise and progress. The demands OF
The hour cannot be met by past traditions nor
excused by past misfortunes; but we should
rather count these things as the energizing
call for the renewal of our most patriotic eff
forts 10 place our belo' ed commonwealth in
the forefront of the extraordinary, economic,
intellectual and moral forces now at play in
ihe world.
Governor Montague rstires from the
gubernatorial chair with the satisfaction
Of knowing that he has faithfully per-
formed the duties of the high Office
and that his course has been approved
by the people of the Old Dominion.
He will always be remembered as one of
tie ablest of Virginis's executives.
