AFTER DEPREDAToRs.

"There was collected under said
act during the year ending March 81,
1899, about 81 300, out of which sum
the board was required TO expend so
much as in their Judgment might be
necessary to properly police and pro-
tect the States interest against un-
lawful depredations and violations of
the laws. 1t was strongly urged upon
the board that if such violations of
the laws were effectually prevented,
that much larger area OF planting
grounds would be taken up, thus in-
creasing the revenue TO the State,
For this purpose, and as provided
under the act. the board appropriate
ed out of the revenue collected from
this source the sum of S67O.
The fishing industries Of the State,
both in the tidal waters and inland
streams, require the attention of the
board in the matter of propagatlng
and stocking the waters with fish, in
order that the supply of food fish,
for which there is great need, may be
increased. The board has been in
communication with the United
States Fish Commission, and have
every reason 10 DcllSNS Guht IL 1uS
General Assembly will appropriate
reasonable sum Tor this purpose, that
the United States Fish Commission
will, as it has done in other States,
very largely aid the Board of Fisher
les in erecting suitable stations and
hatcheries along the Chesapeake bay.
The board has already arranged with
Uuited Slater Fish Commission for
supply of young fish to be deposited
in the inland streams OF the State
during the fall, under the direction
and supervision of the board"

Dear Sir:-As you asked me to let
you know my views as to Orchilla Mix
ture, l will say made 90 bushels of
wheat per acre with it, and it makes
good corn and grass, and I think it
helps the land. I shall continue to
use it for corn as well as grass and
wheat. George G. Powell.

Gents:-In reply to your enquiry
about the effects of Orchilla on nv
crops, would say in general way
am satisfied with it and expect to
continue its use. Its use on wheat is
well known. but think it is as good
on corn and grass, besides it seems to
help the land, and improve thin and
worn out patches. When l think of
the price considered it one of the
cheapest fertilizers on the market.
Truly yours, VIM. E. Waddy, Jr.

brands of goods from other people,
but give yours the preference for
these crops. Yours respectfully,

The report Of the State Board OF
Fisheries, which will be in the hands
Of the Governor in q few days. will
show a total amount of $54 $1,000 col
ected from the State oyster-beds and
fishing grounds, and paid into the

The report will show that the net

fiscal year ending September 80, 1898,
was, in round numbers, $4,000. The

Ed.
EDITOR TR1BUNE:- permit a
few remarks to my unknown friend at
Sunburgh.
II fully recognize the value of the
work OF the common school teachers
and the justice of extending aid to
those that are needy" says he. We
agree in that.
But what 'baneful infiuence'' would
a pension have upon the other teach
ers? None. A pension would simply
stimulate young teacher to stand by
the country schools-the prop and
stay of our government-until the time
came when he, too, would reap the
benefit Of bis faithful service.
The shiftless condition of our coun-
try schools is hindrance to real,
sound, solid progress; but teacher
is not ''degrading himself' by work.
ing for the advancement Of humanity,
although his pay may be "inade-
quate.' And a self-sacrfce for the
enlightenment of the masses is cer-
tainly no degradation, even though
an educator should get kick for his
pains.
1t is generally admitted that a pen
sion would aid the educational veter-
ans. But it would do more: it would
bring stability to our country schools,
which means stability to the state,
and that is just what we need. It
would also stimulate q teacher to ex-
ert his influence not as competitive
make-shift but as structural worker
for the government of the land where
of he is a citizen with his duties and
his rights.
Ministers ought to have pension
yes; but, church and state being sepa-
rate, the church should see to that.
And merchants-well, they work only
tor themselves; and their acts are
more like a war Of conquest than
war for humanity.
| Farmers need no pension; they
should simply have their rights, then
they are we'll served. And there is no
good reason why a majority of agri-
culturists should be domineered by q
minority of monopolists, is there?
The trouble is simply that they do not
pull together, hence the stubborn shots
and shells OF Hard Times into the face
of Golden Prosperity.
Well informed men admit that the
schools of Norway, Sweden and other
countries are better than ours; and
these countries have found it neces-
sary to pension teachers in order to
bring about the desired result, the
stability of their school system, and
should not we, as an enlightened ma
tion, do the same?
The experiments of the old countries
have been many and costly; but we
might reap some benefit from their ex-
perience, think.

NOTES AND COMMENT.

The county auditors want their
terms changed from two to four years.
1t comes with ill grace for a body of
men after being elected for a certain
term to bend their energies to try and
increase their time by legislation. We
have noticed that good, painstaking
county official generally gets at least
four years of office regardless OF ebb
and flow Of his party followers. It is
better to rely on the will Of the people
than on a Legislative lobby, anyway.

Evidently the Dick Crokerites of the

great and unsettled issue of bimetal-

these croakers will find their occupa-

they are the Dem socratic party, may
not have discovered it, but that party
