The next meeting of the Board OF
Fisheries, as appears from announce
ment made by the secretary OF the
Board in another column OF the
paper, will be held at Accomac q.
H., July 23d. That the meeting is
one of great importance to most OF
the citizens of Accomac will hardly
be questioned by any one who will
note the purposes for which the
meeting is called and the warning
ing given them in communication
by Citizen" in this issue of the
paper. That the meeting is one OF
great importance to the citizens OF
the county no one can doubt, in the
light of the movement now in pro-
gress to deprive them of natural
rights and privileges" which they
have enjoyed from the foundation OF
the governments and the citizen is in-
deed blind to his own interests, who
does not heed the warning by taking
steps to avert the danger which
threatens him. That 1.-THE natural
rocks of the Baylor survey" should
be reserved for the use of all of the
citizens of the State no one will deny
even those who have applied for
them If ia with us to furnish the
members of the Board of Fisheries
with information which will enable
them to see their duty in the matter
and prevent the wrong which may
be done to us. To that end we sub
NIT that organization, especially of
the oystermen, is necessary, if they
would not be, as suggested by "Citi-
Gen." mot only out of job but in
many instances out of bread"

The Governor of Virginia acted
his part we'll at the Democratic har-
mony dinner" in New York last
week, according to the reports re
ceived of him. He not only acquit-
ted himself with credit to the State
but seems to have put in some good
clicks" for himself. His speech is
generally complimented and the
Brooklyn Eagle, one of the most in,
fluential Northern papers, has this
to say about him: Governor Mon
tague,o Virginia, made very favor
able impression on the Northern
Democrats at the Tilden Club gather
Ing. He is handsome, cultivated,
eloquent, prudent, progressive and
straightforward. He will be in office
for four years as Governor, and he
meets we'll the requirements of a
Southern man for national honors
inasmuch as being only 40, he is too
young to have fired a shot at the
Union. He was in pinafores when
Lee surrendered, and he has not been
a fountain or a factor of Bour-
bonism sine e."

A meeting of Democrats was held
ut the Tilden Club in New York last
week for the purpose of reconciling
Democratic differences and looking
to the success of the party 10 the pext
President election. Whether any
good results we're accomplished
though by the meeting is in doubt.
Ex-President Cleveland was present
and made a speech which is praised
by those who like him, but meaning
less to those who still regard him as
a party wrecker" and have no con>
fidence in any utterances to which
he may give expression. Hon. VIM.
]. Bryan was invited, not to speak
but to be present, and though he
very properly declined the invitation,
has since been heard from in a way
very far from being conducive to
Democratic harmony. The meeting
doubtless would have been much
greater success If both had been ig-
nored and it looks if democratic
harmony" is hoped for that notice
to that effect should be served upon
both of them in the future. That we
can dispense with the services of both
of them as leaders and should, in the
next Presidential campaign, most
Democrats will agree, for reasons
given by the Virginian Pilot in the
following:
Neither Mr.. Bryan nor Mr.. Cleve-
land can or will control the party in
1904. Neither Bryan nor Cleveland
is going to dictate its platform or its
nominee. The party will not sur
render to Mr.. Cleveland, who desert
ed it and betrayed it in 1896. 1t will
not follow Mr.. Bryan-who shows
symptoms of purpose to desert it in
1904 il he cannot control it-"through
a slaughterhouse to an open grave"
on platform of defunct issues,
If harmony cannot be had other
wise, it will become the duty of the
Democratic party to shelve both
Hon. Grover Cleveland and Hon.
William j. Bryan, and it is our i'm
preston that that duty will be per
formed. The party is dependent upon
neither for light and leading.
We are able to understand Mr.
Bryan's intense antipathy to Mr.
Cleveland. Mr.. Bryan feels, and
rightly, that Mr.. Cleveland was main
ly responsible for his defeat in 1896
But he should understand that
there are times when the interests of
the party and of the country, demand
that individual wrongs shall be for
gotten. This is pre-eminently one OF
those times.

The originals OF the characters are In

moral, although the moral Is not mace
unpleasantly forward But the story Is
one Of interest. and The Little Mother
will be found to be one OF the most inter-
estlng plays ever brought TO the Empire
IL will be given next week by an uh-
usually good company.

appreciate her responsibility, but having
been In an atmosphere OF self guidance
almost from infancy. her new duties
appeal 10 her gradually.
She supports the boys by selling news
