THE oYsTER QUESTION.

Our neighbor, The Times Dispatch
gives an admirable example to the
members of the Legislature in it's
position on the oyster question edi-
torally expressed this morning. A
compromise measure having met the
objections to details of the proposed
legislation, our contemporary an
nounces, as we understand, that it
is willing To accept the principal of
renting the barren oyster beds to
planters.-RiChmond Nevs Leader.
OF course, The Times Dispatch els
willing to accept the principle of
renting the barren oyster beds to
planters" But principle Is one
thing and putting it into practice
quite another. The barren oyster
beds ought to be leased and all per-
sons who take oysters ought to be re-
quired to pay the State fair tax. We
have no doubt that the Chesapeake
Bay and its tributaries can be made
to yield far greater quantities of
oysters than is now the case.
The Senate, in our judgment, act
ed wisely both in rejecting the Kee-
zell substitute, many of the features
OF which are commendable, and in
recommitting the Jordan Cardwell
bill. This is too important a
matter for hasty legislation near the
close of busy session. The
State has managed this industry in
an unbusinesslike way, and it is time
to do better. But we do not think
that the measures which have been
prososed are in the interest of the
State. The whole question will now
go over, and in the meantime the
people in the oyster region should
themselves bring in measure which
they believe to be fair and practical
BILE. They have objected, and reas-
onably SO, to the measures that have
been proposed. Now, let them offer
a solution of the problem.-Richmond
Times Dispatch.

ment" fellows have practiced some
ways and tricks that will put the
"heathen Ohinee" to blush.
