Catching Fish for Fertilizer.
Richmond Telegram to the New YorI
Times

Letters received from Norfolk. Va,
state that complaints are being made
by fishermen of the Chesapeake Bay Of
depredations on the part of the big
fishing boats owned and operated by
the guano factory in that section. 1t
is declared that these boats with their
patent apparatus are driving all the
Ash out of the Lower Chesapeake. The
owners of the fisheries along the coast,
where only edible fish are taken. COM
plain bitterly that the fishing boats
take the very best fish in these waters
for the fertilizer factories, where good
and bad alike are ground up for ferti-
lizers.
Sportsmen have also noticed the fact
that fishing in the bay is not as good as
II used to be, and the prospect is that
some action will be asked on the part
of the State Board Of Fisheries and
possibly the Legislature itself.

Presidents Opinion.

President Roosevelt has recently
written Governor Durbin, OF In
diana, letter in which he gives
his opinion of lynching, and COM
mends the actions of Governor
Durbin in applying the law in the
recent attempts at lynching in that
State. The letter, while written
personally to Governor Durbin,
will, because of its having been
published, have considerable weight
on the public mind because of the
source from which it comes. The
following is a summary of the
Presidents views concerning the
subject:
Men who have been guilty of a
crime like rape or murder should
be visited with swift and certain
punishment and the Just effort
made by the courts to protect them
in their rights should under no
circumstances be perverted into
permitting any mere technicality
10 avert or delay their punishment.
But the fullest recognition of the
horror of the crime and the most
complete lack of sympathy with
the criminal cannot in the least
diminish our horror at the way in
which it has become customary to
avenge these crimes and at the
consequences that are already pro-
ceeding therefrom.
Whoever in any part of our coun-
try has ever taken part in lawlessly
putting to death criminal by the
dreadful torture of fire must for
ever after have the awful spectacle
of his own handiwork scared into
his brain and soul. He can never
again be the same man.
The spirit of lawlessness grows
with what it feeds on, and when
mobs with impunity lynch Grim
iuals for one crime they are certain
to begin to lynch real or alleged
criminals for other causes. In the
recent cases of lynching over three
fourths were not for rape at all, but
for murder, attempted murder, and
even less heinous offenses.

never do anything or allow any

likely to injure the party Of his

THE recent calamity at the Phil
adelphia base ball park, which re-
suited in the hurting of many of
the patrons of the game, should
serve as a warning to those asso-
Citations in Delaware to see to it
that their grandstands are suffl-
GENTLY strong to accommodate
safely the weight of its seating
capacity. The fact is that the
managers of that park are to blame
for the accident, as the stand had
not been thoroughly examined in
eight years. Had the managers
exercised the proper precaution
and interest in those who attend
the games such a calamity would
not have been.

HERALD the glad tidlngs Let
the good news reverberate from
the broad canopy of heaven to the
deepest recesses of the earth A
brand new species has been un-
earthed. A new Democratic Moses
has been yanked from the wilder
ness of the wild and woolly Shoe
String-the district of big bitches
and uuwashed Democracy. A
Democratic officer has been found
who refused to receive a fee for eX-
ira services. Was the like ever re-
corded before ? 1t would afford us
great pleasure to say, as has been
said of Abou Ben Adhem, May
his tribe Increase" but alas, it is
with poignant grief that we are
compelled to record the distressing
fact that he is the Alpha and
Omega.
Who is this paragon of civic vir-
tue ? "The word fell upon my ear
with peculiar and indescribable
charm like the gentle murmur of a
low fountain stealing forth in the
midst of roses, or the soft sweet ac-
cents of al angels whisper in the
bright, joyous dream of sleeping
innocence. Masten Twas the
name for which my soul had
painted for years, as the hart pant
eth for the water-broOks. But who
is Masten ? 1 might have gone
down to my obscure and humble
grave in an agony of despair, be-
cause 1 never before knew Masten.
Had such been my melancholy fate.
l have no doubt that with the last
feeble pulsation of my breaking
heart, with the faint exhalation of
my heeting breath, 1 should have
whispered, who is Masten? But
thanks to the benefcient tribe en-
camp ed on the north side of North
street, just as the agony of anxiety
was about to culminate in the
frenzy of despair, this blessed in
formation was placed in my hands
"Masten is the only Kent County
Democrat who is on record as hav-
ing returned a fee for services rem
dered. Masten The only Dem
ocratic Levy Court Commissioner
who refused to do his sworn duty.
Masten ! The only man who in
open court announced his deter
to have nothing to do
with the road-overseers of his dis
trict, Notwithstanding the fact that
he is receiving $500 per year for
such services. Why did the noble
Billie refuse to do his duty? Be
cause he had no part in naming the
OfhCe-holders under a Republican
administration. We fear you are
hoist to your exalted position by
your own petard. In order to re-
-ain your footing secure, we would
advise you to cough up" the two
years fees for committee work,
which you have received.-State
