Fairly Mr.. Vivian is now secretary
of the committee. He resigned his
position as surveyor general to take
up this work. 1t now transpires that
it was not the secretaryship that Mr..
Vivian was after but he took the
place in order that he might more
effectively manipulate the wires to
get the craftsmanship. Winfield ;.
Boynton, OF Colorado Springs is al
so "a candidate for this place. although
he is allowing his name to he used in
connection with the governorship.
He is the choice of the Woloottites
whole Vivian has the support of the
other factions. The question as to
who shall head the central committee
is now one of the most mteresting
questions agitated in Republican cir
cles The selection of man for the
place is a matter OF great interest
to the corporate interests outside of
the state which are seeking to play
part in Colorado politics. The
Evans and Gugginheim crowd is now
in control and will make desperate
effort to retain hold upon the organi-
zation. A new candidate for govern

Hobert is said to be backing Mr..
Bent in his candidacy The deal is
that If Mr. Bent developes strength
enough, he viii enter the race for
governor, but If not. he will try for
the state treasurership. The straws
blowing about just now indicate very
strongly that Governor Mcdonald is
to be nominated. lie forced the
Evans crowd TO agree with this be

part he did in the Peabody deal last
winter. The organization is very
well satisfied with his record so far.
Although some weeks ago. there was
talk that Mcdonald would be defeat

but if Mcdonald proceeds along the
even course he has thus far follow

into when he was made governor will

the field for three important Offices
as follows:

The first suit under the new Vir-
ginis statute making it unlawful for
a person or firm to publish persons

come mp at the present term of the
Law and equity court in Richmond.
The suit was brought on behalf of
j. II. A. Cyrus, colored, of Port

Boston Chemical Company. The
plaintiff asks $1,000 damages. Un-
usual interest attaches TO this suit,
AS the decision will affect newspaper

Yet, on the other hand, nation pre-
pared for war is menace to man

to treat other nations with good faith

beginning of our country's history
has the navy been used in an unjust

TEDDY To CUT LOOSE.

According to the Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun,
President Roosevelt recently attended
a dinner at which was present Sena-
tor Cockrell, of Missouri. While
the dinner was in progress, Mr..
Roosevelt arose and after announcing
that he was about to do an unusual
thing, proposed the health of Mr..
Cockrell, political opponent, at the
same time declaring with the utmost
candor that be would not necessarily
be bound by a party during the four
years of his term.
That means trouble for the Re-
publicans. 1t means also that during
Mr.. Roosevelt's next administration
there is going to be lot of fun in
Congress, which the Democrats at
least will greatly enjoy. We suspect
also that the President himself will
have his share of the fun. He
bates dull time anyway.-Times.

FISH AND OYSTER NOTES.

II. w. James and r. A. Treakle, of the
Island, caught 500 herring and two roe
shad one day this week.
The Baltimore Herald says despite
the fact that the upper Chesapeake
bay and the Susquehanna river, the
favorite spawning sections for the
toothsome shad, have for weeks been
covered with thousands of acres of
heavy ice, the big, silvery scaled
fellows have been fighting their way
in the capes and up the bay toward
the shallower fresh waters. For six
weeks fine roe shad have been caught
up the bay-a thing almost without
precedent, as the run is not due to
begin until about the middle of Feb
ruary or the fret of March. OF all
American food fishes the shad il
popularity regarded as tie most tooth
some. In the hslcyon days of their
former abundance no fish was 40
highly priced as the shad caught in
the upper reaches of the Chesapeake
bay and the Snsquehanna river. In
their long journey from the sea to
the clear waters of the spawning
grounds the fish was supposed
to acquire delicacy of flavor pos
sessed by no other fish. The fish
each year work their way up the bay
in immense schools or shoals. In
the van of the ascending myriads are
massed the largest and strongest OF
the tribe, their steady, even journey
in compacted ranks being shown by
a well-defined wave or ripple on the
surface. 1t is stated by old fisher
men that many drop out during the
journey, and only the larger and
finer ones reach the gosl.-FishinQ

Neither the fanatic nor the dema-

ing that helps the country, like the
work that helps the country, is done
by men who have a saving sense of
responsibility and value their own
dignity. In such men only is there
hope OF craftsmanship. The sun,
moon, and stars are much less excit-
ing in appearance than the whizzing
