Scientific Temperance Instruction Bill

The Scientific Temperance Instruc
ton bill will be presented before the
Legislature some time in the near
future. The Woman's Christian
Temperance Union is intensely in
terested in the work of having sclen-
tifc temperance instruction taught
In the public schools. which is simply
teaching physiology aud hygiene by
means of regular text books. making
clear the effect Of alcohol on the
human system.
The bill which will be presented
provides that the various divisions
of physiology and hygiene shall be
taught as thoroughly as other
branches in all schools under State
control, or supported wholly or IN
part by public money, and also
schools connected with reformatory
institutions Section 3. I'm all
normal schools, teachers, training
classes and teachers Institutes, ade-
uuate time and attention shall be
given to instruction in the best
methods of teaching this branch, and
no teacher shall be licensed who has
not passed satisfactory examination
in this subject and the best methods
of teaching it."
Mrs Thomas P. Bagby. Of West
Point, State Superintendent of Scien
tific Temperance Instruction. at the
convention OF the w. c. L. y urged
upon the members the Importance Of
pushing this bill before the Legisla-
ture at the present session. The bill
was before the last Legislature, aud
was lost by six votes after hard work
and much talk for and against the
measure.
Should the bill come before the
Legislature, as is quite certain, the
fight will be spirited one, rs the
ladies are determined to attend the
Legislature and use their personal in
tluence as well as their arguments for
success of the undertaking. Some OF
their arguments are very logical.
They argue that as one Legislature is
very prompt "about making laws for
game, dogs, hogs, oysters, fish, fences
and even scale on trees, why should
not the present Legislature pass G
bill for the protection OF our youth
from the dreadful ravages on the
system caused by the use of alcoholic
stimulants." The vote for and
against the bill at the last Leeisla-
ture stood 81 yeas and 40 nays.-Rlch,

oyster Beds not to b. Leased.

There is no prospect of bill being
passed to lease the Virginia oyster
beds to foreign people. The old mem
bers of the Legislature, as q rule, and
most of the new ones, who have be.
come acquainted with the subject,
are we'll pleased with the report
made by the State Board of Fisheries.
The act passed. creating this COM
mission, will be amended in some OF
the minor particulars, but no mater
ial changes will be made.
1t is probable that provision will
be made for State Surveyor OF
Oyster Grounds. Chairman Mat
thews, of the House Committee on
Chesapeake and it's Tributaries. Is
heartily in favor of the creation Of
this office. He thinks it very essen
tial for the grounds to be surveyed
and plat made. Mr.. Matthews thinks
that the revenues from the oyster
industry during the next fiscal year
will be double that of the last, pro-
vided the commission is permitted to
carry ON the work already mapped

Senator Daniel was the star
speaker at the banquet in Washing
ton Monday night, of the Virginia
Democratic Association of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and the following
report of his speech by the Washing
ton Post indicates, whatever bis
views may be regarding Mr.. Bryan,
that he recognizes the fact that Mr..
Bryan will again be the standard
bearer his of party in the next Presi,
Dental contest and that he will be in
line for him when the campaign
opens:
Senator Daniel made ringing
speech, which was received with the
most enthusiastic applause. 1t was
an outline of his views regarding the
next presidential campaign. he de
clared his answering loyalty to Mr.
Bryan and to the platform of 1896,
but warned his hearers that the COM
ing months. were pregnant with
events, that might make it necessary
TO fight the battle of 1900 on a some
what different plan than had been
followed three years ago. He assured
the association that vigorous OPP
position would be made to the cur
rency reform bill in the Senate, Rep

ringing speech, also predicting that

A Blow AtYrusts.

The feature of the session of the
General Assembly Monday was the
introduction of bill in the two
houses simultaneously intended to
destroy in this State combinations OF
trade known as trusts and to prevent
their formation. The patron OF the
Senate bill is Mr.. Barks6ale; MIR.
Gravely introduced the House bill.
The measure is copy of the Texas
law, which is said tc be the strjctest
OF the kind ever placed on the statute
books by any legislative body. The
Texas law he's the commentator OF
Hon. William Jennings Bryan
The bill makes any person or cor
poration entering into Or having any
connection with any pool or combi-
nation to control the price of any
commodity guilty of a conspiracy to
defraud All anal carnations and
consultations however effected de
signed to Great trust or monopoly
or to fix prices are declared unlawful.
Persons or corporations selling man
ufactured articles below the cost OF
production for the purpose OF crest
lug monopolies are subject TO the
penalties of the bill.
Violators of the law are subject to
a forfeiture OF not lees than $500 nor
more than s., 900 per day during the
continuance of their offence.
Com binatione for refusing TO buy
or for boycotting with view 70 con-
trolling or limiting trade in any arti-
Gle are forbidden Any corporation
violating the law fcrfeits it's right to
do business in The State and all lis
charter privileges.
Provision is made for a stringent
affidavit to be taken by the officers
OF corporations doing business in this
State that such corporations have 40
connection with any trust, combina-
ton, or pool, Failure to return said
affidavit to the Secretary of the Com
monwealth as provided by the bill
works a forfeiture and destruction
of corporate franchises.
Section II of the bill virtually pro-
vides that article produced by trusts
shall be contraband of commerce in
this State. The Attorney General
and attorneys for the Commonwealth
are required to prosecute violations
of the law, and are to receive one
fourth of the penalties recovered for
their services.-Richmond Dispatch.

Entered at the Postoff1ce at Accomac
@. E., Va, as second-class matter,

The Senator and representatives
from the Eastern Shore voted for
Governor Tyler, as their choice Tor
United States Senator in the Demo
cratic caucus of the Legislature, re,
Gently held in Richmond. They voted
for him not only because he was their
choice, but with the conviction, that
in doing so they reflected the sentl-
ments of nine>tepths of their Demo-
cratic constituents. They cast their
votes too with full knowledge OF
what the result would be and despite
the warnings of our contemporary
the Light, that it does not pay to be
ON the closing side" They dared
to do right, because it was right, ana
neither of them we presume, has felt
any remorse, because he declined to
take the advice of that journal or has
lost any sleep because he has been
classed by it with that independent
and populistic element, who have
striven by every means to disrupt
the regular organization of the demo
cratic party in our State" They
were democrats, and together with
their constituents, were fighting the
battles OF democracy before the pub
fishers of the Light or Tom Martin
were ever thought of, and neither the
abuse of the one or their refusal TO
believe that the latter should have
their support as United States Sena
tor can detract from their democra
cy. We tip our hat to She 81 demos
cratic members of the Legislature
who cast their votes for Governor
Tyler.

Obituary..

Enos George Hoppe was born
October 6, 1888, in Kalbe, Germany.
When 90 years old he came to America
with his parents and brothers and
/ sister and the family settled in Lena,
Illinois. He enlisted for the civil war
in 1862, August 18th, and fought for
his adopted country three yaars. AT
the close of the war he got the typhoid
fever and afterwards asthma, from
which he never recovered. He got an
honorable discharge. when the wal
was over. In 1868, Jan. gath, he
married Miss Katharine Derr and
lived with her 81 years in marriage
and had sons and daughters, all OF
whom mourn the loss of their dear
father. The family lived some years
in Lena, Illinois, and tiually settled in
Paris township, Howard county. Last
December, & year ago he moved to
Cresco. to enjoy the rest OF his lie in
peace. Saturday, the 18th of April
he was taken very i'll with pneumonia,
and died few days afterwards Thurs
day April Goth at 2 o'clock in the
morning. The funeral took place
Saturday April 22nd, the services be-
ing in the Methodist church held by
Rev. G. Niedermeier and Rev. Hen,
bricks of Ridgeway. The remains
were taken to The New Oregon Gem
etery. All that knew Mr.. Hoppe in
his life give him the testimony that
he was an upright, honorable man
and kind husband and loving father.
