OUR NEW DISTRICT.

Decidedly the warmest fight before
the Legislature this session was the
one seeking to reapportion the Con-
gressional Districts of the State. The
filibusters were overwhelmingly de-
feated, and now they are making
every effort to have Governor Mon
tague veto the bill which rearranges
the Districts. We do not believe
he will do so, for he is certainly
aware that had the bill been vetoed
while the Legislature was in session
it would have been passed over his
head. There is by far more politics
in the effort to defeat it than was
in the effort to create it, and if it
should die now under the Cover
nor's hand the whole State would
suffer an injury brought on by
purely fractional politics. There are
very few outside of those friends of
Congressman who wish to see them
returned without opposition but
what see the justice of the measure.
As an example of how far partisan
influences are working we quote
from the public press the following
words of a prominent gentleman
who is opposed to the bill and is
endeavoring to have the Governor
veto it:
Congressman William A. Jones has
been separated from his constituents of
Spotsylvania and Fredericksburg and is
connected with Newport News, War
wick, Elizabeth City and York. All of
this is territory new to Mr.. Jones, and
has vote sufficient TO give him trouble
in securing the nomination"
The Barksdale bill was never seri-
ously intended to be made law, but
embodied a little fun as we'll as q
desire to launch the movement for
redistricting in the Legislature, as
required by law and the changed
conditions of our State. To have
adopted that measure would have
been burlesque indeed, and the one
finally selected bears little resem-
blance to the original Barksdale
measure. So those who are denounc-
ing the successful bill and styling it
the Barksdale bill have not kept
posted as to events in the Legisla-
ture.
While Mr.. Jones would probably
have as little trouble under the new
arrangement as he has had under
the old, if the contrary were true it
is very poor argument that for his
or any other mans sake the line
should be drawn so-and-so, and
efforts on the part of filibuster
Baker and other of Mr.. Jones'
friends substantiate our statement
that there is more politics certainly
in respect to this District in the
effort to defeat than to carry through
the measure. While we regret to
lose Fredericksburg and Spotsyl-
vsnia, it is not true that the ma
jority of this District is so much
agricultural as to be out of har-
mony with Newport News. our new
addition. With our many water
courses the major portion is devoted
to water interests; in fact, it is the
leading district in the State as to
water front and magnitude of un-
developed water interests. From the
comments and remarks that We
have heard we are satisfied that
there is a large portion of the Dis
trict that will welcome Newport
News and its contiguous territory,
and entertain no little pride in that
before another ten years is past we
may probably be the District of the
leading commercial city Of the Old
Dominion.

NEW LAW FOR FERTILIZERS.
A bill has passed the House which
provides that all fertilizer material
shall be subject to an analysis by the
State Board of Agriculture, aud if it
falls below the test of 8 per cent. of
any ingredient that should be in it,
the manufacturer may be subject to
penal proceedings and. the fertilizer
will be confscated. The law hereto
fore allowed deficiency or variation
of 10 per cent. and the commissioner
of agriculture had no discretion as
TO proceeding against the manufac-
turer. The old law declares that he
"shalr enter penal proceedings
against the manufacturer: The pres
emit law says he "may" enter penal
proceedings. The contention is that
this protects the farmer; the other
contention is that it is unjust and
oppressive to the manufacturer.

VENEZUELAN REVOLUTION
MOST FORMIDABLE OF ANY
THAT HAS ARISEN TO
HARASS PRESIDENT
CASTRO.

Washington, June 17.-In well in
formed diplomatic quarters here the
impression prevails that the revolu-
tion which is at present threatening
President Castro of Venezuela is per-
haps the most formidable of any that
has arisen there during the past few
years. Nevertheless, as long as the
revolutionists can be confined in their
movements to outlying towns aud be
kept away from the central points of
administration, such &C Caracas or the
city of Valencia, it ia Thought here
that there is no possibility of final
success for the opponents of the Castro
administration. If the revolutionists
fail in their purpose this time it is
thought the accomplishment of their
aim can be relegated to rather dis
tsnt future.
