One virsinian's Views.

Mr.. John l.. Buchanan, OfSmyth Coun-
ty. Va, who was at the Ebbitt yester-
day, says the Washington Post, sees in
the overwhelming defeat OF Representa-
tive Swanson for the gubernatorial
nomination a certain sign Of tremendous
political changes in his native State. He
believes that Senators Martin and Daniel
will be swept from the arena of national
legislation as an aftermath of the delnge.
at seems very simple proposition to
me-" aaid Mr.. Buchanan. Senator Dan
lei defeated Hon. John S. Barbour for
the Senate; Senator Mcrtin defeated Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee for the Senate. In doing
so they broke the political ring which
controlled Virginia politics. Daniel and
Martin have been close friends and assO-
eiates in things political and in business
life, and they have risen together. 1t
seems logical that they have must fall
together.
This presages some things for the fu-
ture which are already discussed among
the more astute politicians OF Virginia.
MIR. Montague will name Mr.. Joseph VIII
lard for lieutenant governor, and will
also name the attorney general. All
three are certain to take the offices.
When Gov. Montague's term expires the
term of Senator Daniel expires. Take
my word for it that Gov. Montague
and the men with him who have totally
everthrown the ring formed about Sena-
tors Martin and Daniel, who were pre-
viouly strong enough to upset the COM
bination controlled by Barbour and
Fitzhugh Lee, are going to keep their
hold and rise still further. Montague
will succeed Daniel in the United States
Senate, and Willard win succeed Mon
tague as governor OF Virginia. When
Senator Martins term expires you will
find Gov. Willard the candidate, and
think the successful candidate for the
place"
This sounds very well as prophesy
but one important factor is left out.
Ii is interesting to know whatreckOning
is made for Congressman Jones, who is
said by some, through his May Conference,
to have made Mr. Montague's presentsuc-
cess possible. 1t sreasonable TO suppose
tina. his ambitions soar to the Governor
ship or Senatorship-and not more than
luuryeafs distant.

SOMETHING ABOUT A FISH.

4 correspondent OF one of the Rich
mond papers, writing recently from
AccOmac. included in his letter n short
but good account of the menhaden
fishing. He Tell into an error that is
common only with those who have
little practical knowledge of the fish
and the industry that OF calling
them food fish The menhaden,
mOSs-bunker or alewife, as it is vari-
Ously called, is Of the herring family,
but the bOniest OF the bOny, and it
can only be STYLED . "fOod-fish in
the sense that it is food for other
fishes, such as rock, blue-fSh, shark,
etc 1t is never used for the table
except in cases of necessity by impe-
cuniOus or improvident people - al
though it is the most multitudinOus
of our Atlantic fishes 1t is harmless
and cannot protect itself even from
the crab. Because of its timidity it
travels in schools, sometimes a mil
lion or more being in a bunch 1t
furnishes thousands of men and boats
along the Atlantic coast an industry,
manufacturing it into oil andguano,
and the basis of nearly all the COM
mercial fertilizers is this fish. But for
it the farmer would have TO pay
double or three times the price he
does for his fertilizer, there would be
thousands Offamilies that would have
to look to other sources for a liveli-
hood. and the Atlantic States -Nir-
ginia in particularly would be de-
prived of much revenue in the way of
taxation upon the industry and upon
the realty Improvements, the direct
results OF the industry.
Long live the menhaden and may
their schools never grow less-as
really they do not, for nOtwithstand-
ing the billions that are annually
caught they come in greater numbers
every year into our waters, from
where the Oldest fisherman has never
been able to learn. They spawn in
our Chesapeake and its tributaries,
but after the first season its yOungis
not seen here again until grown.

THE RED FOX.

4 red fox is a long winded animal as
well as swift Stanton Spec
tatOr.
The Imperial Dictionary gives the
definition of fox as follows:
Il. An animal of the genus 'canis
with straight tail and erect ears ? a
sly, cunning fellow This animal bur
rows in the earth. is remarkable for his
cunning and preys on lambs, chickens
and geese.
The word was frequently used by
p our Savior while on earth, as when
He said: "The foxes have holes, etc; :"
and in Luke XIII. we read:
"31. The same day there came certain
of the Pharisees. saying unto him, Get
thee out and depart hence, for Herod will
kill thee.
''32. And he said unto them, Go We and
tell that fox, behold cast out devils and
do cures today and tomorrow, and the
third day ! shall be perfected"
This Herod was Herod Agrippa -
the fox.
The red fox is found in Virginia. 1t
Is. a gentle-looking animal. 1t is often
caught when young, but no matter
how often petted and tenderly cared
for it cannot be trusted; it will, when
the opportunity offers, kill the pet
lamb and flee to the mountains TO
"burrow In the earth" 1t travels
mainly by night; it loves darkness;
its deeds are evil. If it is a species of
the canine, still honest dogs despise
it and the hounds with hunting blood
in them will rend it to pieces when
caught. 1t is capable of great endur-
ance, and over fields and dells for
hours and hours it can lead the ex-
cited hunters, ever and again doub-
ling on it's track and often escaping
by its great cunning. A price for a
long time by most counties in Vir-
ginia was set upon its head, but this
is no longer so. 1t has now become
an emblem and is worn OH the but
tons on the lapels in various parts OF
Virginia, and even in the National
Capital.

PRINCIPAL SUES AGENT.
Alleges That Five Hundred Is Still
Due Him.

Suit was brought in the district court
today by Anton Peterson to compel Lee
Davenport to pay him the sum of 1902 TO-
claimed by him to be due him from the
latter.
The complaint says that Davenport:
was Pedersons agent for the sale of q
piece of real estate, and that the money
demanded is part Of payment for real
estate belonging to Peterson sold by
Davenport.
The real estate is lot in block of
Stevens addition to the city of Butte,
and the complaint says it is worth
$4,000.
The plaintiff alleges that Davenport
agreed to act as his agent, July l, 1861,
to sell the property, and that Daven-
ports commission was to be per cent
of the sale price.
Davenport sold the land to c. v. Nor
cross and c. r. Hoskins for $500, the
complaint says, and received $780, the
balance of the money being applied to
the liquidation of certain mortgages on
the land. After the sale, Davenport paid
Peterson $1672. 60 of the sale price.
The complaint says that there is a
balance due the plaintiff of 1902 40, and
that the defendant has refused to pay it
Besides the sum named Peterson asks
his costs.

WORK FOR CHURCHES
CENSUS SHOWS MANY WITHOUT
RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE.
Mr.. ORCHARD ON THE RESULTS
Partial Returns From the Count Leads
the General superintendent of
the Canvass to Make
Observations,

While the superintendent who have
charge Of the various districts have not
gotten along far enough to give out fig
ureS on the religious census of the city,
Rev. John Orchard today declared that
the count was likely to be very success
full.
Mr.. Orchard has general charge of the
effort that is being made to learn how
many people there are in Butte and it's
environs, and from the meager returns
before him this morning he ventured
some interesting statements on the re-
suits that are being secured.
owing to the fact that many people
who are living in boarding houses fail to
report, Butte is proving a rather difficult
city to canvass" said Mr.. Orchard.
However, have not the least fault to
find with the way things are going.
with some exceptions, which are so
few as to cut little figure, the people
have given the canvassers the informa-
ton they desired, and we are getting
along nicely.
I'm several instances the enumerators
who promised to come around and go
over certain districts did not appear Sat
urday and that put us a little behind.
Then some of the people were not at
home. That was another slight draw
back. Added to these things were un-
satisfactory results in the boarding
houses, but canvassers are still at work
and we will get through with the UNDER
taking all right.
II understand there is a good deal Of
secular interest in this count, but / am
looking principally to the results that
are to be accomplished by it In a relig-
iOus way.
The superintendent have not COM
pleted their counts, and l doubt if there
will be any complete figures before late
tomorrow, but from returns that have
come in already there are interesting in
ferences to be drawn.
In one district where there are 500
children, the returns indicate that not
more than half of that number are now
in any Sunday school.
This is an important thing, for that
number of children without any special
church influence are not likely to turn
out for the best in the community.
Our idea is to get them into the sun
day schools.
