securing such valuable privilege and
franchises.
But whatever may be done as the
direct result of this conference, sc hope
cur legislature will pass some decided
laws for the protection of our oyster in
terests in the Po.oaac. These oysters
have improved very much 10 size and
q'alty in the last few years, and it is
Anne that this is due to the fact that
they have been "thinned out" by dredg-
ing. However this may be, it is rea-
sonably certain that if this wholesale
dredging and scoopjng by people from
every port from the upper corner Of
Maine down to the Capas continues in
'cw years there will be no oysters in the
Potomac worth shuckiag. The bold
ness ana recklesSnesS OF these dredgers
IS beyond endurance. They carry on
regular warfare with our citizens along
the shore, and lately, tits reported, they
opened fire upon the dwelling Of Sena-
Tor AlIston in St. Mary comfy, because
he proposed or advocated some measure
looking to the protection of our lesiti-
mate oystermen.
This ought to be matter outside of
politics, and while other rcformatory
measures lately advocated BY US seen,
from present appearances, to be too
heavily hanli-cappel by political con-
S'derations of one sort or another to per.
NIT of their passage, there can be no
good reason why there should not be
united action, irrespective Of party or
locality, in securing and giving some
degree Of pcrmanency to one Of the most
lucrative industries in the State.

Tue ice crop of the Hadeon this year
will be the largest ever harvested, and
the prospects is that it will all be secure
" housed within ten days. The crop
IN 1881 was $500, 900 tons; in 1882,
.. OOO, 900 tons, and in 1888, 5000, 900
TONS. This winter the crop will reach
:. 500 900 tons on the account of the
different companies, and private parties
will house all of 100000 'ons additional
making a grand total of 300, 600 tons.
The ice is represented to be of splendid
quality, clear as plate glass, with frost
inc of only two or three inches of snow
leaving from II to 16 inches of hard,
good ice, and therefore the waste will
naturally be very slight.
