MR.. GEER's APPOINTMENT.

The Oregonian prints Hon. T. T.
Geer's letter declining the appoint
ment of register of the land Office at
Oregon City. The letter is just such
AN one as could be expected from
Tom Geer. 1t is manly. frank, open,
plain; in fact, T. T. Geer himself.
The letter is, like Geer, ''way above
the average" and yet we regret It's
writing and its publication. The
position offered Mr.. Geer is a good
one, and it is unfortunate that it Is
not so good as he deserves, for there
is no Office in the gift of delegation
or people to which he might not as =
pire. And yet "there are others.
There are others whom the party
must consider; and while MIR. Geer
is probably entitled to the best, he
should remember that all cannot be
satisfied.
We hope he will re- consider the
matter and withdraw his refusal. He
ought to do it in his own interests
and for the benefit of the party. He
is placing himself in a peculiarly EN-.
barrassing position, for he says by
hls action ''My services are worth so
much" He measures himself and
fixes his stature high. We realize
his merit and know that he is not
rating himself too high j but yet he
is, after all, setting a value upon
himself. The office is good one,
that almost any man in the state
would be glad to get. Having only
the kindliest feelings toward Mr.
Geer, and a keen appreciation of his
valuable services to his party and the
country during the last campaign,
we sincerely hope that he may take
the seat at the table provided for
him, feeling sure that in the near
futue he will grace the head of the
board.
The Oregonian, in indorsing his
declination, is not moved by friend
ship to him nor fealty to the Repub-
Jean party, and Mr.. Geer, if he per-
mits himself to be influenced by its
ideas, its theories or its prejudices,
will make the most serious mistake
of his life. We do not believe that
he has been sufficiently rewarded,
but it certainly is in bad taste for
him to make that assertion. We be-
lieve the delegation has done the
best it could to harmonic all inter-
ests, and that every good Republican
should indorse its action.

THE OYSTER LAW.
(E. CITY Economist.l

OF all the economic questions that are
agitated in North Carolina the oyster
question is least understood. Strange
that it is so for the oyster is the most
sedentary of our fauna, and you know
exactly where to find him and how he is
affected by tide and circumstance. One
reason rs that it has been for several
years the shuttlecock of our legislation
and each legislature of North Carolina
thought it had to undo what had been
done by the preceding legislature. The
oyster law of the last legislature is plain
and Ineligible and is an exception to
the general rule of recklessness and ig-
norance that characterized the acts of
that last assinine legislature. To our
mind the explanation Of this exception is
that the appointment of Chief Shell Fish
Commissioner put a head on the oyster
business that legislators could look to
for information, who was conscientious,
intelligent and reliable, and whose duty
was to familarize himself with all the
phases and workings of the oyster law
The Chief Shell Fish Commissioner is
such a man. He is a Populist, appoint
ed by the legislature before the last, but
we always thought he was made of
Democratic heart timber with thin
veneering of Populist foolishness. But
we believe Mr.. White is conscientious
man. and we think he is entitled to the
credit of the good features of the oys-
ter law enacted by the last unfortunate
legislature. The leading idea in the late
oyster law is to give North Carolinians
the benefit of our oyster fundum to the
exclusion of non-residents, and if oaths
and penalties be of any avail residents
of North Carolina alone are to have the
benefit of the oysters which nature has
so beautifully scattered in the sound and
bays and rivers of Eastern Carolina
There is no restriction upon a resident
taking oysters at any time after having
taken out a license and taken the oath
against non-residents, with any nipple
ments for taking them, except that in no
