Fish AND OYSTEP NOTES.

Six hundred sheepshead and other
fish were found and caught in the old
hulk when the steamer Oak Done, sunk
off Assateague, was dynamited and
blown up. The most of them were
sent to Atlantic City, N. J., and sold
there at 30 cents pound.
More than one thousand barrels,
amounting to nearly one hundred and
fifteen tons, of fish, consisting of weak
fish, black sea bass, bluefish and por-
giles, were recently hauled into North
Wildwood. N. j., by a dozen large
fishing smacks of the New Jersey fleet.
The Police boat "Viola" of the Vir-
ginia Fisheries Commission took to
Hampton prisoners, caught claiming
without license. Capt. Hunt of the

Owing to the vigilance of the Vir-
ginia state oyster police, the depreda-
tions on the natural rocks have not
been so numerous, allowing the young
oysters to mature, producing a larger
and more juicy variety that finds ready
and steady sale in the local and out of
town markets. The regular season
will begin September 15.-N. Y. Fish

NO SIGN IN CONNECTICUT.
Capt. Parks. of Long Island. one of
the prominent oyster planters of that

any indication whatever of set and it
looks as if the planters had drawn
blank. Capt. Halsey, of the Radel
Oyster Company, reports that an exam

THREATENED LOSS OF THE CHESAPEAKE

In an argument at The Hague Fishery

Robson he declared that if large bays

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

he November election VIII be
OF especial interest and impor-
lance to the voters of Virginia.
as at that election the organic
law-the COnstitution-uf the
State may be modified in several
respects that are of grave con-
sideratiOn to the Virginia people.
-Four amendments to the Consti-
tuition, all of more or less impol-
lance to our people, are to Toe
voted upon at the election to he
held on November Sth.
The Constitution is u sacred
document and one not to be
dilly-dallied with. Addenda to.
abrogation of, or alteration
in the text of our organic
law is u matter of serious
significance and great Importance
to the Virginia suffragists: and,
if done at all, should only be
done after careful and candid
thought and mature considera-
ton. The Constitution can only
be altered by a vote of the people;
therefore it follows that the peo-
pie, and the people alone, are re-
spOnsible for the sort of an
amended Constitution they have.
And the greater the Importance
OF the issue to be voted on at the
polls, the greater becomes the
responsibility of the suffragists.
One of the amendments to be
voted on in November provides
that the sessions of the IIegisla-
ture shall be increased from sixty
to ninety days. Here an econom-
ic question arises-an increase
in the length of the sessions of
the General Assembly means an
increase in the salaries of the
members. Another question is
Mt the end of ninety days will the
matter of legislation be any
further advanced than in "A sixty
days session: will not the calen-
dar bejustas crowded at the end
and will not the representatives
procraStinate in the first half of
the session as now?
Two of the amendments pro-
vide for the election of city and
county treasurers and city and
county commissioners of the re-
venue. The present Constitution
provides for the election of treas
urers 10y the popular vote. but
prohibits them from serving more
than two consecutive terms. Com
be elected or appointed. as the
Legislature sees fit to provide,
but should they be chosen by the
people they are not eligible to
succeed themselves. The purpose
OF these amendments is the elimi-
nation of all questions of success
sion, so that treasurers and COM
mlssioners may succeed them
selves indefinitely. At present
commissioners of the revenue are
appointed by the circuit courts.
TO these two amendmentsw we can
see no objection. If an officer
proves efficient and faithful, and
his services satisfy the people, we
know OF no reason why he should
not be eligible for reelection so
long rs the people want him.
The remaining amendmentpr pro-
vides that each bill may be read
at length only once in each
branch of the Legislature. instead
of three times as now required.
This last amendment is of but
little Importance, us the present
law on this point has been usu-
ally ignored i'll the interest of ex-
petition of business: the object
of the amendment, however, NAV
be TO avoid future complications
and entanglements.
Let every suffragist in the State
give the matter mature and logi-
cal consideration and cast his
ballot iudiciously on November
Sth.
