Virginia's Gift to France.

Virginia is TO present to France
copy of her most cherished possession
the Washington statue. which stands IN
the rotunda of the Capitol. The original
is life size, of marble and one of the ad-
mired art pieces of the world.
The bill providing for the copy has
been presented by Senator King and will
he passed just as soon as 1t comes from
the finance committee The apprOpria-
ton will be $1,000. The work of repro
ducing the statue will be done in the
rotunda OF the Capitol. The contractor
must give bond for the safety OF the
marble and it's preservation.

Shaking UP Republicans.

With the appointment of G. G. Smithers
to succeed Marshal Morgan Treat of this
district, b. b. Arnold as collector for this
district Barnes Gillespie as district at
torney for the western district of Vir-
ginia, and with other appointments held
in allowance, the republicans are getting
many surprises.
Thomas Lee Moore of Montgomery
county expected to retain his place as
district attorney So far known Mr..
Gillespie had never been heard of in con-
nection with the appointment.
The position of collector of customs for
Newport News now held by Capt. J. f.
E. Stuart. is expected to be reached be-
fore the end of the month Unless al
signs fail Capt. Stuart will be numbered
among those who have held office.
The belief is still strong here among
the republicans that John y. Locke vii
be given the appointment. There are
other applicants.
B. Brown Allen, marshal for the western
district of Virginia, WILL according to the
best information obtainable, be displaced.
Col Allen has been tower of strength
in the councils of the party for many
years. however, and has strong indorse-
ments for reappointment.
Finances Are Bothersome.
The democrats of the general assembly
are wrestling with the problem of pro-
yiding revenue for the state. They are
|endeavoring to find new subjects for
taxation
For a week the senate has been dis
cussing a method to get values of taxable
property in the state and to correct In
euualities of valuation.
The railroads of the state. while plead
ing for a fair rate for passenger service,
declared that they should be allowed to
earn as much as six per cent on an
average valuation Of $4,000 a mile for
each mile in the state. When these same
corporations came to be taxed, 1t has
been declared on the floor, they demurred
at being taxed for more than third Of

RICHMOND. Va. February 10. 1910.
This week has been one in which the
temperance forces-the Anti-Saloon
League, the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union and the Sons of Temperance
have had their own way.
The Strobe bill, proposing a vote on
the liquor issue when 20 per cent OF the
voters petition to that end, has been
under consideration. There has been a
flood Of petitions asking legislators to
pass the bill.
The petitions are planned and arranged
so that lawmakers receive bunch at
stated intervals. They are sent espe-
cially to the committees in charge of
the measure.
One of the largest was presented by
Senator Fletcher of Fauquier, containing
some 10000 names of men, women and
girls from many counties. not from any
particular section of the state. Senator
Fletcher stated that he presented the Pc
tition by request.
1t was tied with white silk ribbons.
The small page of the senate wabbled
with it when he started to the desk. Inc
Signatu are original.
The liquor people are to have show

heard The stern fact that the state
stands to lose more than half million
dollars in revenues does not appeal to
the drys, who declare that if the people
want to be rid of liquor they should pay
the costs.
Lawmakers do not take that view.
