not vet made citizens not only from fishing and
selling fish, but also from engaging IN any
business or occupation requiring license.
The same conscience, apparently, would
follow as to boys under twenty-one. The
promoters of the statute in question might
soon find it operating with unexpected harsh
ness upon their own families.
The builders of the law endeavored to shore
it I'D with noted decision of The Supreme
Court, in an oyster-dredging case which arose
in Virginia. A law Of that State forbade any
person not citizen of the State to take or plant
oysters in Virginia waters. McCready, OF
MARYLAND, planted oysters in Ware River, In
Virginia, and was prosecuted He cited the
clause which says that the citizens OF each
State shall be entitled to all privileges or clti-
zens of other States and argued that as citizen
of Maryland he was entitled IN Virginia to all
privileges of Virginia's citizens, oyster-planting
included. The Supreme Court SAID that oysters
are not privilege of citizenship, but species
of property. The State, being the owner OF
all tide waters within her territory, could giant
the privilege of planting oysters IN them TO
any persons whom she pleased, either by their
names, A. b. c., etc, or by general deslgna-
ton such as "citizens of Virginia" Only the
persons to whom she gave her oysters, or the
use of her oyster beds, could take either. But
the Circuit Court declares that this decision,
while it may sustain State IN excluding all
aliens from her fisheries does not support
law which practically and Intentionally ex-
cludes the Chinese only, and admits other for
eigners. While the treaty stands, the Chinese
must have whatever privilege of fishery is ac-
corded in any State to the subjects OF another
nation
