THE NEW YEAR.

Mother Earth is of on another siderial
Journey, and during the next three hun
dred and sixty-fve days season will fol-
low season as they have done from the
beginning.
The beginning of a new year appeals
to all peoples of the civilized world.
Good cheer is one Gifts accomplishments,
and it is a time when most people square
themselves with the world and equally
as many more start out with an earnest
purpose TO correct whatever has been
amiss in their department heretofore.
We are all disposed to bury the past in
the grave of the dead year; hence "new
leaves" are as numerous as snOwfakes.
Should it prove correct that the Pluto
MAN realms are paved with good inten-
tions, how many tiles there will be to
confront us in the world to come We
all mean well, but come so short in carry
ing out new year resolves. Hence many
who survive the year 1906 are doubtless
destined to be disappointed at it close.
They may not find themselves improved
spiritually in any marked degree, but
they will have added to their lives an
other year of experience; and so it will
go or until the last scene of all when at
life's close they will realize that after
long pilgrimages they have merely learn
ed how to live.
We may not be able to carry out all
our good intentions during the year upon
which we have entered, but it is within
the power of all to concentrate upon one
resolve and use our powers tn carry
out that in some measure at least There
is wide field for practice of the Golden
Rule, and honest attempts in this direC-
ton will surely be blessed. Every man
is our neighbor, and to live in peace and
be kindly-disposed toward all is more ac-
ceptable to heaven than whole burnt
offerings.

MONDAY EVENING. JAN. /. 1906.
THE GAZETTE FOR 1906.

The Gazette begins its 10Th volume
today. 1t extends the compliments OF
the season to all, as it has in three cen
turtles. AS was stated Saturday, every
endeavor will be put forth TO maintain
its usefulness in the community where
il was born and where it has flourished
almost since continental days. The paper
is now and ever has been a necessary
adjunct to most Alexandria households,
as well as to many in every portion OF
eastern Virginia. Containing all the
news in a readable form, it appeals to
the great majority who have neither the
time nor the inclination to peruse the
work of modern Merganthalers, but who
desire to keep up with the march of
life. The Gazette has ever been con-
Quoted upon conservative lines, and
has avoided the sensational or the ex-
travagaHt in its descriptions of cur
rent events. Discarding misleading
headlines and attempts to exaggerate
minor matters, il has followed the even
tenor of its way and has naturally APP
pealed to its patrons (which has ever
been averse to the artificial spirit of any
age. The Gazette has consequently
hourished throughout all the transitions
of its native city. During its existence
the country has been beset with wars,
pauics and business depressicns; fires
have devasted Alexandria, hostile
soldiers have trOd its streets, cycl)nes
have wrought havoc and many bitter
disappointments have been the lot OF the
old city. It has always remained faith
ful to her interests, rejoicing with her
in her prosperity and weeping with her
in adversely At the beginning of the
year 1906 q new era seems to have
dawned upon Alexandria. There is a
perceptible awakening, and the tide is
no longer ebbing 1t is gadually rising,
although no tidal wave is expected.
Those who remember spots layed by the
waves of bygone years now see the same
submerged, while the waters are still en-
croaching. May they be taken at their
flood

Russian Revolt Crushed.

81. Petersburg. Jan. THE revolu.
tiOnary societies have issued a manifesto
in which they state that owing to the
failure OF the recent uprisings it has
been decided 10 refrain from ordering a
general insurrection at the beginning OF
the new year. Such revolt, it is ex-
planned, might intimidate the ignorant
and timid portion of the population.
The government, however, has taken all
precautions looking to dealing with any
revolt. 1t has announced IFS intention

ner any preparations made by insurgents
for an uprising. IL is expected that
with the crushing of the revolt at Mos.
COW many Of the revolutionists who took
an active part in the uprising there will
flee to St. Petersburg. Government
officials, however, declare they have no
fears that these refugees will be able to
stir up an instruction here because the
city is dominated 80 completely by the
troops.
News received today from Moscow
confirms the earlier reports telling of the
stamping out of the rebellion in that
city. The putting down of the revolt
was accompanied with heavy slaughter
and bloodshed. One of the most in
trepid of the revolutionary leaders dur
ing all the days of the fighting was an
eighteen yesr-old girl, who was nick
named Joan dare. This girl was in
the thick of the firing, and directed her
followers bravely until the very las:.
Reinforcements of troops are now en-
teriDg the province of Courland, where
the revolutiOnists have practically gained
control from four sides Of the province.
The leaders of the Lettish revolutionists
in the district, however, have given so
tar no sign OF alarm at this invasion.
The revolutionists are we'll organized,
determined and brave.
There is no doubt that the revolution
at Moscow is completely crushed. The
hopes expressed that the peace will be
lasting are premature, however. The
revolutionists have sworn to renew the
fighting at the first opportunity. Q1iet
has been restored in the city and TIE
Deums services continue throughout the
city in celebration of the restoration OF

to his matter state that "the apparent isct
will remain, should the latter make the
denial promised, that peuurer is wear
ing the uniform of midshipman OF the
United States navy" Is this u 'e
wondered at in an institution where ~
ing aud perjury is tolerated, If rot
encouraged, under the false and ridiculous
"code of honor" in vogue among the
various ciassmen? In the older and
better days, the code of honor existing
among gentlemen permitted lie only to
save a woman's honor, but at Annapolis
cadets are expected to Pe1ure them
selves to save fellow from punishment
which he may richly deserve. OF course
no manly man or boy will tolerate tell
tale or an informer, but no honest man
or bow would wish friend or COM
panion to perjure himself upon witness
stand, especially when the witness Is
most unwilingly giving his testimony.
That such condition of affairs does exist
at Annapolis, is shown by the courts
martial now 10 progress there. One
cadet who had been "hazed" and who
was compelled, against his will, to take
the witness stand, has just been ostra-
cized and has had his veracity impugned
by his fellow cadets because he would
not lie, aud now two others are to be
sent to Coventry" for the same reason.
Bows make men and when such false
ideas of honor are instilled into them
there should be little surprise when army
and navy scandals are made public. so
lax in honesty and honor are so many
army and navy men now that one
almost daily reads OF duplicating vouch-
ers classifying accounts, embellishments,
&C., among them, and the recent
Taggarl divorce case showed that at
several army posts the officers and their
wives live in state bordering on free
love. The country may expect nothing
better so long as the men It is educating
at public expense are brought up in such
an atmosphere as surrounds the govern
ment academies.

A Diabolical Act

Frank Stenenenberg, formerly gov.
ernor of Idaho, was killed Saturday
nigh by a bomb at his home in Cald-
well. A dynamite bomb had been
placed at his front gate with cOntriv-
ance that exploded the bomb as he en-
tered. Both legs were blown OIL, and
Steuenenberg lived but twenty minutes.
There is no known reason for the out
rage, but it is charged to some members
of the famous Inner Circle of the Occur
dAlene dynamiters whom he prosecuted
in 1899 while he was governor. The
bomb was left at his gate and exploded
as he returned home.
1t developed yesterday that the assas-
sinatiOn was perpetrated by someone in
person by pulling wire that exploded
the dynamite bomb as the former Gov
ernor was closing the rear gate of his
home. 1t was at first thought that the
bomb was arranged TO explode automa.
tically when the gate was opened. 1t
also developed that two bombs were used,
both being exploded simultaneously by
means of wire ami waxed fish line, rem
nants of which were found on the lawn.
The conviction grows that Steuenenberg
was murdered as result OF his activity
in crushing miners strike riots at Occur
d'AIene in 1899. On this theory one
MIN was arrested yesterday, but his
name is kept secret by the police, who
say evidence against the prisoner is
strong. Five other men have beer de-
tanned on suspicion.

Mayor Mcclellan Inaugurated.

New York, Jan. 1.-George B. Nc
Clellan was inaugurated as Mayor for
his second term, covering the next four
years, promptly at II clock today. The
exercises were very simple. The oath
had already been administered to the
Mayor, and today he only delivered
brief address to the friends who called
to see him assume his position for the
second time. Following the Mayors
speech the heads of the various city de-
partments were sworn into Office by the
Mayors private secretary. In his in
augural address, Mayor Mcclellan re-
ferred with some feeling 70 the fact that
he had kept his word made at the time
of bis acceptance of the second nom
ination, that if be believed a change
in the heads of departments would
better the public service be would
make such changes. He said he
would not again be candidate
for public office, saying that be was
assuming "probably the last political
Office" that he would ever hold. 10 re-
gard to appointments, the mayor re-
ferred to his former statement three
months ago, that mere membership in
his first administration would not of
itself entitle a man to continue under the
second administration. 81 meant every
word of what / said then" the mayor
almost shouted, his voice shaking with
emotion, "and have kept my WORD"
Continuing, the mayor said that the
path of duty is not strewn with roses,
but that it is so plainly marked that any
one can see it, and that the traveller who
tries to walk in that path can have the
satisfaction of knowing he has done his
best. If on retiring from his Office he
could know that he had done some
thing to have made New York better
than he had found it, the mayor said
be would not have lived in vain.

Tie Annanolia Cadets

Annapolis, Md Jan. This is the
gloomiest New Years Day the academy
brigade Of midshipmen has seen in many
alyear. The shining sun and brilliant
winter sky are in strange contrast with
the forebodings that are present in nearly
every first class mans mind. To talk
with the midshipmeo, the most signih-
cant note heard is the frank admission,
eve have all hszed. / hope the board
won't catch me.
The first class is in the toughest hole
a naval academy class ever faced on the
eve of graduation. Many members are
praying that February ~, graduation
day, will arrive before they are placed
under arrest pending trial on hazing
charges. The estimate of twenty first
class men being booked for trial has
been increased to from thirty to sixty.
Likewise it is said that no second or
third classmen will be tried in addition
to Midshipman Coffin, whose case has
been finished. Admiral Sands plan of
campaign is said to be the crucilixion OF
platoon or so of first classmen, as an
example to succeeding generations OF
midshipmen of what are the conse-
quences of bazing.
40 informal meeting of first class men
is said to have been held outside the
academy walls last evening. Measures
for protection were discussed the most
popular being that each member send o
letter to the superintendent cOnfessing
that he had hazed. No agreement was
reached.

Arsenic in Stomach.

band, DIR. Horace.W. Chase, and her
brothers, Leonard ii. and Charles f.

court al Salem, will be the report OF DIR.
William Whitney, of Harvard, who is
to testify at the inquest into the death of
Mrs. Chase when it is resumed at Lynn,
Wednesday. The report of DR.. Whit
ney will be the most sensational develop
ment in this famous case, and it is said
that an arrest may be made this week.
The discovery of the arsenic in Mrs.
Chase's stomach has convinced the few
officials who know what DIR. Whitney's
report will be, that Mrs Chase did not
commit suicide. DIR. Whitney, it is said,
found enough arsenic in the woman's
stomach to have killed several persons.

1t is suggested that at the beginning
of the new year, and at time, toe,
when Alexandrias affairs show marked
improvement over past years, that each
and every citizen-Ofiicial, represents
tive and private-ve IN augmenting the
city's interests. There are Opportuni-
ties for all, and by united effort the ad-
vent of next year will bring still better
conditions. Some are in positions to do
more good than others, but it is equally
incumbent upon al! to help build up the
venerable city which is now taking on
new life.
