Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1898-12-03

The oyster industry of the State
under the present management, it is
stated, will yield net revenue of
probably $4,000, during the present
fiscal year. This estimate ought to be
very gratifying to everyone in Tide-
water Virginia, especially to those
who are dependent upon the industry
for living, and seems to justify the
conclusion that the law creating the
Board of Fisheries was a good thing
to the State. If satisfactory to the
people of the State generally, as it
promises to be, it looks as if in the
law, 1.-The consummation most devout-
ly to be hoped for" had been reached
by the people OF Tidewater, to witt
an end to the contests in every Legis-
lature between the Tidewater and
anti-Tidewater members. Strange
as it may seem, though, the law is be
ing antagonized by many of theTide-
water people, Notwithstanding the
good results which the law promises,
by their refusal to pay the tax which
the law imposes upon them, upon
the ground that it is excessive. 1t
may be, but whether it is or not, the
payment of the tax may prove, land is
likely to be the choice of, a lesser
evil.

The Negro up North.

The New York Sun of Wednesday
has a strange item of news about
VIM. J. Bennett, of Brooklyn. MIR.
Bennett, it seems, had quarrel with
his neighbors and moved out OF his
house. The Sun says Mr.. Bennett
will only rent his house to colored
family and has published a notice to
that effect. II want a colored family,
he said, Ito take the house SO as to
spite the neighbors and depreciate
the value of their property"
Can such things be? Is it possible
that there is a race feeling or race
prejudice in the North so strong that
when colored family comes into a
neighborhood the value of property
is deprecated? We have been read
ing in the Northern papers the most
extreme condemnation of the South
for becoming restless under negro rule
and denying the colored ornaments
of society full social recognition. We
have been looking to the North as a
sure refuge for the i'll treated colored
people of the South, as a place where
they would be welcomed with open
arms. And now we are told, IN
blushingly, that the presence Of one
colored family in neighborhood De-
preciates properry.-Baltimore Sun.

The State board Of canvassers met
in Richmond last Monday, and COM
pleted the work of examining the re-
turns made in the recent election in
Virginia. They awarded certificates
of election to all of the ten democrat
ic candidates for Congress and Vir-
GINA will, therefore, be represented
by a solid democratic delegation in
thai body. The majority of each was
SO large that it is hardly possible that
a Republican Congress would be will
ing even to put itself upon record as
being a party to such fragrant &C
of injustice, as depriving either OF
his seat in that body. The re4
publicans in the next Congress,
if they needed votes, could hardly
afford to listen to the loud wall,
even of General Jim Walker.
whom the people of the Ninth district
said by very decisive majority in
the late election, that they did not
want to misrepresent them any long,

men was 1853, $50, divided as follows /:
Democrats, JOG, 4S9; republicans, Co.

policy of imperialism, of course,
counted for nothing with our com
missioners. They knew, in presents
ing the terms of peace which they
have, that they were repudiating
some of the most cherished doctrines
of the fathers of the republic, that
the terms Of peace were in violation
OF the solemn pledge given by as to
the world when we entered upon the
war with Spain, that their acts, if
ratified by the United States Senate,
meant military establishment OBJ
noxious to the genius of our institu
lions and taxation upon the masses
almost endless and without limit, but
in the face of all these things they do
not seem to have hesitated in their
demands or to have considered what
the outcome of them would be to
this country. They seem to have
acted, regardless of their convictions
and with the view only of pleasing
Mr.. Mckinley and the coterie of i'm
perialists surrounding him at WASH
ington and would doubtless have
made their demands sufficiently CON-
prehensive to include all the Islands
of the sea and a constellation or two,
if their masters at Washington had
so instructed them.
That the possession of the Philip
pine Islands would be curse to this
country admits of no doubt. Even ii
it does not mean as predicted by Sen
ator Hoar-that If the United States
annexed the Philippines the downfall
of the American republic would date
from the administration of William
McKinley-it would mean, that we
would have new race problems to vex
us in the 100000 or 100000 of
semi-savage wards which we would
get with the islands, irritating ens
tanglements with foreign nations
and an increase in the burdens of
taxation which larger army and
navy would cost US. We cannot af-
ford to annex the Philippines, the
sentiment of the people of the coun-
try is against acquiring them, and it
is to be hoped, that there are enough
patriots and statesmen in our Senate,
who will see their duty in the matter
and who will have the courage,
ignoring the wishes of Mr.. Mckinley
and the other imperialists of the
country and disregarding the acts Of
our peace commissioners, to say we
will not have them.
