FIGHTING COLONEL FOR PEACE.

OF all the delegates to the National
Peace Congress in Baltimore none is
more enthusiastic than Col. Edward
Daniels, Of Fairfax county, Virginia,
who, as colonel Of the First Wisconsin
Cavalry in the Civil War, saw 1000 OF
his command of 5000 lost in that
struggle. Eighty-four years OF age,
Calonel Daniels still is hale and hearty,
and seemed one OF the most vigorous
men in the gathering at Mccoy Hall.
The adoption of a compact OF uni-
versal peace will see one OF my great
est dreams realized, 7" said Colonel
Daniels, and I confidently expect to
live to see this achievement. Although
half a century has passed since the
outbreak of the civil war, its horrors
are as fresh in my memory today as
they we're in those days Of bloodshed.
"Of 5000 men who, fist and last.
enlisted and served in my command.
over ! 800 we're lost directly or in
directly in the conflicts through which
we passed. And ours was only one
command out of many, and our war
was only one out Of the thousands in
history"

LAST CALL FOR TAXES.

II Is the Duty OF every Citizen to pay
| their poll tax before City Treasurer
Robinson closes office tonight.
Ii is not only the privilege OF every
citizen to vote, but = duty no one should
ignore. So far less than one.third OF
the suffragans Of this city haze qualified
themselves for casting their ballots next
September by paying their state taxes,
and should delinquents fail to attend to
this duty before the city treasurer closes
his office tonight they will be debarrec
from voting for senators. Mr. /. w.
Robinson, the city treasurer, will re-
main at his office in the City Hall for
several hours tonight in order to ac-
comodate such as are unable TO call
upon him during the day, and 1t Is
earnestly hoped that such as have neg
lected to pay their state assessments
will appear and have their names
placed upon the list of qualified voters.
The fact that Alexandria is strong
hold Of democracy has at times caused
some apathy, but this is to be regretted,
as it should be the pride of every mem
Der Of the party to roll up as large
vote as possible at every election. The
first Napoleon never believed IN dong
things by halves, and he invariably
struck with all his might. Democrats
should be animated by the same spirit.
The members Of the party will be called
upon to select two senators four months
from tomorrow, and all should take an
interest in this matter. In by gone
years many were inclined to complain
because they had no voice in the selec-
ton OF United States senators that
power being vested in the legislature.
All in this day have say and, as
suggested above, voting IS not only
privilege but duty incumbent upon
every citizen Of the commonwealth
Therefore let every suffragan qualify
himself this afternoon or tonight.
