THE FISHING LAW,
THE SPECIAL LAW APPLYING TO THIS
SECTION, AND THE GENERAL
la

THE SPECIAL LAW APPLYING TO THIS
SECTION, AND THE GENERAL
LAW AS AMENDED.
In response to requests from some of our
subscribers, we publish again all the legis-
lation on fishing that was enacted by the
legislature last year. The bill approved
March 2, 1894, and applying only to the
Shenandoah and its tributaries, was passed
without having been understood generally
by the members, and gave dissatisfaction
to some of them. So much dissatisfaction
that another bill. that approved March 5,
amending the general fishing law of the
State, was introduced and passed. Both
are now on the statute books.
1t is matter of contention whether the
old General Law re- enacted on March 5.
1894, does OF does not repeal the special law
passed March 2, 1894. The reading of the
re-enacted general law certainly nullifies the
local law, but it does not state in terms. as
is generally the case with laws, that ssall
laws in conflict herewith are hereby re-
pealed." 1t is a question that will in all
are the two laws:
'sAn Act for the Protection of Fish in
the Shenandoah river and it's tributaries, y
chapter 545, Acts of Assembly.
[Approved March 2, 1884,
l. Be it enacted by the General Assem-
bly, Of Virginia, That it shall be unlawful
for any person to catch, destroy OF take
any fish Of any description, by any method
or means, in Oh from the Shenandoah river
OF its tributaries between the first day of
April and the fifteenth day of May of each
year.
2. 1t shall be unlawful to use fish ber-
ries, lime, giant powder, dynamite or other
explosive substance for the destruction of
fish, OF knowingly OF willfully to cast any
noxious substance OIL matter into the Shen-
andoah river OF any Of its tributaries by
which fish therein may be destroyed
3. 1t shall not be lawful to kill OF cap
ture in the Shenandoah river OF it's tribu-
tarles black bass OF pond bass by any man
ner or means, at any time, other than with
q hook and line (Which shall not he con.
strued to include a trot line) and then sub
iect to the provisions of section one of this
act.
4. Dipnets and stir-nets may be used
in taking and catching fish other than bass
and mountain trout from tue said river
and it's tributaries, except within the pro-
hibited period of each year. Gigs and spears
may be used in killing and taking of fish
other than bass and mountain trout from
the Shenandoah river and its tributaries
from November LIST to December 10th of
each year, but at no other time.
s. Fsh-pots may be used for the pur-
pose Of catching or taking fish other than
bass in the Shenandoah river and it's trib-
utaries. except within the prohibited period:
provided the dam is left open on one side
not less than thirty feet from the bank at
low water mark and in case of a dam Oh other
obstruction, where fish ladders are required
by law. if the party whose duty it is to
construct such fish ladders Shall fail to do
so. any other person OIL persons who NAV

POLITICAL NOTES.

One of the happiest hits made at the Ho-
witzer banquet at Richmond the other
night, was the indirect reference of Colonel
10 Lane Stern to the Senatorial contest
likely to occur between Major John w.
Daniel and Governor O'FerralI. The
hour was late and the company had begun
to disperse. eff were a United States
Senator" said Colonel Stern, looking at
Major Daniel, ''Or if [ intended to be a
Senator" he continued, turning his eyes to
Governor O'Ferrall, II would certainly nd
vocate liberal appropriations for the sup
port of the military" This brought down
the house, and both of these distinguis he'd
gentlemen seemed to enjoy it. The Senator
and Governor sat very close together and
were as cordial as ever. Major Daniel nearly
always calls on Governor q Ferrall when he
comes to Richmond, and nobody would
suppose they expected to oppose each other
for Senator.-Richm,ond correspondent
Norfolk Landmark.
Senator Thos. s. Martin of Virginia, was
in Washington Monday, and said to the
correspondent of the Alexandria Gazette
that: ''The proposition to make South
ern man the next Presidential democratic
nominee doesn t deserve serious consider
alton and will not receive it. Of the pro
posed Ronoke conference, he said little OF
nothing, and that few seemed to be taking
any interest in it. He also said he had
helped to elect Senator Daniel the first
time, the second time he didn't require any
help, the third if he should require any, he
would help him again and he doesn't care
who knows that he will"
The democratic state central committee
OF Illinois at a special meeting Saturday
issued call for state convention to.meet
at Springfield June next, to consider the
currency question, which it is proposed to
make the issue for the next campaign.
The call issued to the democracy of the
state says in part: 1.-The only national
question now before the American people
is that Of the currency. The war is over
The force bill is repealed, never to be re-
enacted. Tariff legislation Of a general
character will not be attempted for several
years. The next national campaign must
be fought out with the currency as the
issue''
Judge L. L. Lewis, of Virginia has writ
ten a letter to the New York Tribune, in
which he urges that journal to cast
it's influence in behalf of national policy
that will leave the South entirely alone in
respect to the matter of elections.
The Republicans of Rockbrige have NOM
mated a full ticket for county Offices: James
r. Mccormick, Of South River, for County
Treasurer and J. Lucian Hamilton of Buff
falo, for Sheriff.

First-If the Legislature of 1886 call con-

DEATH OF Ex-GOV. KEMpEp

James Lawson Kemper, who had been a
Major General in the Confederate army.
Speaker of the House Of Delegates, and
Governor of Virginia, died at his home in
Orange county on Sunday last, in his sew
enty-first year. He was descendant of
John Kemper, the head of one of the twelve
families that came from Oldenburg, Ger
many, in IVA, and settled at Germania,
where the manufacture Of iron had been
begun, and he was also lineal descendant
of. John Jasper Stadler colonel of engi-
neers on Washington 3 staff, and his uncle
was John Stadler Allison, an officer of the
war of 1872. Coming of fighting stock he
had hardly taken his degree of A. M at old
Washington College, before he became a
captain of volunteers in the Mexican war
of lS47.
At the age of thirty he was elected to the
Virginia House Of Delegates, and served
there for several terms, being elected
Speaker of that body at the close of 1861.
In the civil war be was colonel of the 18th
Va. infantry, then Brigadier General, and
then Major General. At the famous charge
of Pickett's division at Gettysburg, he re-
ceived five bullets and was left for dead on
the heights. He lived, but never perfectly
recovered. He was put in command of the
local troops around Richmond with the
rank of Major General, about a year before
the close of the war. After the war he re-
sumed the practice of law. Twenty-Five
years ago he was elected Governor Of Vir-
ginia, and that was the height of his po-
litical ambition, for though he might have
had the U. S. Senatorship which was ten
dered him by caucus committee of his
party. he declined it. During his term as
Governor, and nearly continually since, his
health has been infirm and often preca-
rious from the wounds he received at
Gettysburg.
Gov. Kemper leaves two sons and a
daughter. He had numerous relatives in
Rockingham, and two in Augusta, Mr..
James r. Kemper, and Mr.. Charles B..
Kemper, now chief clerk in the Supervis-
ing Architects office at Washington.

DELUsIOMs AND EXPERIENCE.

One delusion that pervades the minds of
many, is that free silver coinage is the
remedy for hard times, and that the lack
of it brought them on. The most disas.
trous financial panics followed by the most
cruel hard times, took place when the coun-
try had free silver coinage-1S37 and 1917
aud when silver was at par with gold.
Another delusion is that plenty of money
makes good times. The four years between
1879 and 1888 were the most prosperous
that this country had seen In this genera
tion. The average per capita circulation
in those four years was $2O61. From 1890
to 1884 the times have been about as bad as
they could be, and yet the average per
capita circulation in those four years was
1923. IS, which was increased in October.
1898, to $500. So it will be seen that the
addition of about $500, zoo, 600 to the circu.
lation in 80 "a did not make the times
easier. May not theory which is dissi
pated by practical experience be fairly
termed a delusion?

cation aroused the most intense indignation
through Accomac and Northampton COMMITTEES.
The parties named in Lindsay's letter had not
even an acquaintance and did not even know
each other by sight. 1t was a case Of pure
scandal. The suit mentioned is brought by
Mrs. Reamy; another will be brought by Mr.
