THE OYSTER Question.
Newport News Times-Herald.,

kNCWpolt NcWb llmeS-Her0l0.l
The chances for the passage of salts
factory laws relative to the oyster in
dustry in Virginia at the present session
of the legislature are considered remote.
and according to several gentlemen who
have watched the matter closely it will
not be surprising If the legislature adj
journs without taking any action of
Importance.
There have been a flood of bills intro
duced in the legislature since the session
began and there is little probability that
many more of them will be acted upon
before the legislatures adjournment.
The oyster question is being discussed
and rehashed in every possible way,
but that satisfactory enactments will
be secured does not seem probable and
it will not be surprising if the whole
matter goes over until the next session
of the general assembly.
If the legislature takes no action the
matter will fall into the hands of the
State Fisheries Commission to a great
extent, and we believe that the Com
mission can and will do more for the
betterment of conditions than would the
passage of some of the suggested laws.
The Commission is composed of men who
understand the oyster business and they
know the conditions that exist.
With far more liberal annual appro-
priation than it has ever had before the
Commission this year will be in a posi-
ton to do far more effective work for
the oyster industry in Virginia than has
even been possible in the past. The
Commission is composed of men of ex-
cellent judgment and ability and we
believe that if the oyster questions are
left with the Commission, that organiza-
ton will be able to do much towards
bringing order out of chaos.

RHEA IN POLITICS.
lFarmville Herald ]

The name that will be most frequent
ly mentioned in the coming Guberna
torial canvass in Virginia will be tha
OF Judge w. F. Rhea, now member Of
the corporation commission, formerly
active politician of the Southwest,
the only Democrat of them all who
could lead the party to victory in that
doubtful Democratic district. We are
not prepared to agree with the great
English statesman that every man
mas his price," or with David of old
that "all men are liars" but we do
agree with the Bible that "there are
none righteous, no not one." The
editorial sanctums of the State and
the editorial easy chairs may be oc-
cupied by scattering number of sane
tlmonious moralists, but the woods
isn't full of Them" The man who
aspires to be Governor will enter the
race to win. and he will search the
neld for active" workers in political
ranks relying with more confidence
upon the strong arm of one Rhea than
upon all the pens of the ready writer's
OF moral essays. Sad, yes sad, but as
true as sad. None of us have for.
gotten the advice of the fond father to
his son who was about to launch out
'on the stormy sea of business. s'my
son, make money, honestly if you can.
but make money" The average poll
tician of the day has caught the spirit
OF the injunction, and with him it is
to win honestly if 1 may, but win.
This is not written in anger or in
haste, but in very sorrow that such
are actual conditions as we see them,
and as we believe nine out of ten
thoughtful men view them. We know
the author of many of the letters which
have recently appeared in public print
commencing the editors who congratu-
late themselves that they belong to
the better-than-thou class of mortaIs.
and we know, too, that the peace they
enjoy in their homes today, and the
protection to their property are due to
the earnest work of active" workers
In party ranks. To condemn them
is as ungrateful as though criticism
had been passed on the self-sacrificing
and courageous Confederate soldier
who braved the dangers of battle and
the hardships of the march in the inter
est of home and fireside. And shall
the Republican KETTLE waste its
time and strength in calling the Demo-
cratic pot" black? If so then, there
can be but one parallel found in all
history, and that when the devil is
caught quoting scripture.
The fraud of 1893 stands out as a
mountain peak in the political range,
but who dares say that one National Re-
publican victory for the past four de-
cades hasn't been the child of fragrant.
unblushing bargain and sale? The law
books tell us that the person "who re-
ceives stolen goods, knowing them to
have been stolen, is guilty of the lar
ceny thereof" Let the politician who
is without sin first cast stone.
None righteous, no not one.''

TIDEWATER WELL TREATED.

The Legislature has done well by
Tidewater. 1t appropriated unani-
mously SD, 600 to run the Board of
Fisheries to March 1st (this being chief
ly necessary because no appropriation
was made last session with which to
operate new steamers), increased the
annual appropriation from $24, 900 per
year to $4,000 with which to run an
enlarged oyster police force and pay
expenses and salaries of the Commission
of Fisheries, and has given $40, 600 for
the purchase of new boats. 1t passed
good laws for the Potomac and laid
heavy penalties for stealing oysters
from private beds. 1t perfected the
Board of Fisheries by making the body
the Commission of Fisheries a depart
ment of the State government, making
all acts of inspectors subject to review
by the Commission and so improved this
important Tidewater law that it will be
as far in advance of the old Board of
Fisheries act as was that act superior
to the ruts of tenyears ago. No opposi-
ton developed to the $4,000 appropria-
ton or to the $40, 900 for new boats,
but over the $4,000 annual appropria-
ton and the increase Of salaries there
developed the now memorable and re-
markable fight. Because of this fight
several important measures affecting
Tidewater were lost. For the first time
in history the rest of the State favored
the fish and oyster administration, and
if Tidewater had have co-operated it
looks as if for once we could have had
almost anything and any laws we
wanted, "Scrapping" has probably
thrown away golden opportunity.
