LOCAL POLITICAL OBsER-
- VATIONS.

The defeat of Lloyd L. Smith fol-
nomination as Commemorative At.
torney of Northumberland by Clar-
ence S. Towles promises we'll for the
young men in this section. Mr.
Smith has been the attorney of Nor
cumberland for quarter of a CEN
tury, and the bulk of Democrats have
for sometime thought he ought Ia
allow others show. Mr.. Smith has
also for long time been chairman
of the First District Committee. Mr.,
Towles is a young lawyer of ability
and great energy. He is q native Of
Lancaster, but some years ago adopt.
ed Northumberland as his home,
He is identified with the progress and
rapid growth of tlourishing Fair
fields. This fight was the only one
upon which was centered much in.
terest. People.of observation concur
in the belief that Geo. HI. Smiths
virile writings in the VIRGINIA
CITIZEN did much towards Towles'
success. The rest of the nominees
were easily picked beforehand.
In Lancaster the political pot,
late in warming, is now boiling.
For every county Office there are two
or more aspirants. What the settling
will be is hard to prognosticate.
The most popular office seems to be
that of Commissioner of the Revenue,
but probably the hardest fight will
be over the office of Commemorative
Attorney, just as in Northumberland.
The present incumbent is Il. j,
Downing, who, during his eight
or ten years encumbency, has made
himself quite popular. B. III. Robin
sou and Frank G. Newbill will con
test with Mr.. Downing, and it is
rumored that Robin o. Norris, very
bright young attorney, may also
enter, and make it a quadrangnlar
fight. Newbill and Norris are both
young men and if the political zodiac
embraces Lancaster young man will
next term occupy this office. For
Sheriff the fight will be hard and
clean-cut between two candidates.
JAS. A. Chowning, the present sheriff.
and K. Benny Mitchell. Heretofore
Chowning has had as his deputy
(and so advertised his candidacy)
Wilbur Pincksrd; but this time be
has dropped Pinckard, and an
nounced no deputy. Pipckard, in
will cast his fortunes
with Mitchell.
While the primary advocates are
very few in Lancaster, the action of
the County Committee last week is
interesting. The men that were
known as Montague men advocated
a free-for-all, and Martin man in
troduced substitute to nominate by
primary. This latter was defeated
and the former adopted. Montague
men are two to one on the committee.
The evident desire of free for-all
by the up-county faction is to
quietly centre on their candidates and
send sword down the line" while
they hope that the other faction will
be split up by multitude of candi-
dates. In fact. some of the up
county people have melted members
Of the opposition to become candi-
dates with the false promise, or at
least intimation, that these oan-
iidates would have their support.
fhey are working a shrewd game,

OYSTER AND FISH NOTES

Capts- Joshua Crockett and Joe
Davis, two of the most successful
sail-gear fishermen on the hag, have
"cut out"
The fool oyster dealer that opens
oysters for 80 cents per gallon under
present conditions should have "a
pay $1.25 for every gallon he buys
after January /, and also be arrested
and given so years for his stupidity.
Fishing Gazette.
Albert Morris, a prominent Reed
Vile fisherman, has just returned
from the north. He reports more
menhaden in Boston bay and other
northern waters than have been
known for many years. They are
producing IL gallons of oil to the
thousand. The schools are working
south, and were yesterday reported at
delaware bay. Some of our Cbesa-
peake steamers have gone up the
coast to meet them.
The Tribune must therefore heart
iiy endorse the movement lnaugu-
rated 10y the oystermen of this county,
at Matthews Q. H., on Saturday, the
29th ult. We are informed il was
one OF the largest meetings ever held
In this place, and the determination
on their part to enforce, among other
things, the outlaw strictly-ap-
pealing to the oystermen to form an
association, and prosecute, if neces-
sary, any person who dares to violate
that almost sacred law, is worthy the
encouragement of every good citizen
OF this county, because in movements
like this the natural oyster rocks are
saved to the pcople.-MatheUs- Til

ANENT FISH Yarns.

The old cry of men haden steam.
ers' destroying edible fish, which ha:
been doyned so often, has bobbed ur
sgain aHd is burning question be.
fore Norfelk's Board of Trade Just
now. The fume is usually started
by the kid-glove fishermen who offe,
as an excuse for their poor angling
that "yon steamer has caught 'em
ali to grind Up for fertilizer" or in
words @shat effect; and just as.often
by the seaside hotel keeper who uses
the same excuse when disappointed
fishers have been allured by his adj
vertisements.
The plain truth of the whole mat
ter is that menhaden are not food
fish, and the factory steamers do not
catch enough edible fish to give the
crew good mess daily. These facts
have been over and over again estab-
iished by sight-seers who board the
fishing steamers, and by specially
examining expedition sent out by
Governor O'Ferrall during his en-
cumbency, iLstigated by the same
old cry from the same old source.
The police boats several times silently
stole upon the fishing fleet when EN-
ployed In fishing and overhauIed and
examined their catch. Not enough
food fish was found among millions
to weigh one man down. The men
haden fishers invite examination at
any and all times. Visitors are well
coined and entertained with the ut
most Courtesy and unstinted hospi-
tality. The absurdity of the state
ment that food fish are ground up
for fertilizer appears on the face of
this fact, that four pound mackerel
or trout is worth in market 20 to
20 cents; ground up for fertilizer
1t does not produce two pounds of
material, worth one cent pound.
In an obscure column recently
we made the following comment ON
this subject, which we think will
bear repeating here, and which should
dismiss the erroneous impression from
all fair minds: s'Such beliefs are on
par with the farmer who thinks
moles eat vegetable roots or that the
English sparrow subsists on insects.
There is no foundation for any such
statements Who ever saw flock of
crows associate with a flock of cedar
birds ! 3 Or who ever knew doves to
affiliate with hawks? ANY fish not
carniverous would be an idiot to
school with menhaden whose swarms
clean mp all the vegetable matter
and animalculae that floats their
way. And the menhaden would be
. fool to keep company with trout,
binehsh. mackerel, and such like
that prey upon him. When an edi-
Ole fish is caught in school of men |
MAIDEN ne is pursuing the same course |
