The next session Of the Virginia
Legislature from present indications
will be the first for many years at
which no oyster legislation OF inter
est will be introduced. So far as
now known, the only proposition of
Importance to the oystermen, which
is to be introduced at this session,
may be some immaterial amend
ments to the present law creating the
State Board of Fisheries. This law
is said to give very general satisfac-
ton, and there seems to be more
restful feeling among those engaged
in the oyster industry now than has
been known for many years.

The corner stone of the monument
to the Confederate dead of the
Eastern Shore was laid with impress
sive ceremonies at Parksley last
Thursday, and the shaft to perpet
uate their memory and the princi-
pies for which they fought and died,
will soon be in position and in the
sacred keeping of those who loved
the Lost Cause. As q reminder of the
heroes, who fought for, mot what
they believed to be right but for
what was right" & sacred obligation
rests upon every Eastern Shoreman,
whe reveres their memory, to assist
in preserving it and to teach their
children what it stands for and their
duty to look after it and take care Of
it after they are gone.

General Joe Wheeler has been as
signed to command General Funsten' 5
former brigade in Luzon and has
gone to the front. The old hero has
expressed himself las pleased with
the situation in the Philippines and
no one doubts that he will add
new laurels to his fame as q warrior
in our distant possessions, but to
many who remember the gallant fight
once made by him for independence
he will seem to be out OF place, in
fighting to Cypress others who for
years have been engaged in strug-
gle for the privilege of governing
themselves in their own way.

A Warming.

Many republican leaders to Presi-
dent Mckinley:
LII you don't whip or stop the war
in the Philippines within the next
twelve months, you and we and our
whole crowd will be in bad fix.
This is plain statement Of a pros
pect that is growing more certain
every day. 1t is a frank warning
from friends who are not afraid to
tell the truth.
What will the president do about
it?
1t is folly to suppose that he can
subjugate 100000 900 in twelve months.
The Philippines will probably be
as far from whipped this time next
year as they are today. But the war
could be stopped at once by givingl
to the Filipinos the same chance TO
self government that we have offered
to the Cubans.
Are the Cubans more capable CT
self government than the Filipinosi
Nobody who has any knowledge OF
both these people say 80. On the
| contrary. the concordant evidence is
that the Filipinos are better, drawer
more intelligent, constructive and in
every way higher class of people
than the Cubans. Why should we
offer the inferior freedom and persist
in slaughterins the superior thus at
tempting to bar them from all hope
of independence?
Is it strange that the Fillipinos re-
sist US and fight us?
President Mckinley has gotten
himself and the country into pretty
mess and 1t remains to be seen what
he will do with it.-Atlanta Journal.
