FISH AND OYsTEp NOTES.

Large clans are selling at Chinco-
league for $500 per thousand and a
$1,000 market is expected soon. The
price for them is highest ever paid
there. tts
Oysters are very abundant here and
every man who can get a boat and
tongers is oystering, and the only good
thing here to eat that is cheap is oys-
tiers. Westmoreland Corr. N. N. News.
The retirement of B. Frank Wood.
Superintendent of Marine Fisheries, of
New York. is regretted by fish and
oyster men. To them his administra-
ton has been satisfactory one.
Under the new law oyster shore tax
not paid by December LIST is assessed
five per cent. additional, and inspectors
are directed to levy on any property
for payment, having the same powers
in lsvying as county treasurers have.
The cheapness indignantly of oys-
ters on the public rocks will discourage
the planting of shells. Unless found
use for in some other way, those who
know say shells will not be worth more
than half cent per bushel on the pile
next spring.

urer of Maryland also ordered his

"HONI SOFT

The Norfolk Virginian- Pilot is
of our way of thinking-that il
is ''weak and mischievous' in
persons or papers to intimate
that the Democratic "organiza-
ton" did not help Stuart in his
fight. How could he have cut
down a four thousand majority
SO splendidly if the .'organiza.
tion," the working majority, had
not aided and allotted? 1t is a
morbid or evil spirit that would
prefer this charge. Says our
Norfolk contemporary:
THE dispatch from Bristol which ap-
peared in our telegraphic columns yes
terday, imputing the defeat of Mr..
Stuart to the lack of loyal support by
the State organization of the Demo-
cratic party, does not appeal to us at
all worthy of credence. The leaders of
the organization were actively in
evidence in the canvass in the Ninth
district and, even had that not been
so. the result of the election was such
as could not have ensued on any DELHI
crate and concerted attempt of the So
called machine to backstab the Demo
cratic candidate. We see no
reason whatever to suspect that Sena-
tors Martin and Swanson were not sim
cerely DESTROYS of redeeming the Ninth
district from Republican control or that
they countenanced any movement lool,-
ing to the injury of Mr.. Stuart's chances
of success. If their influences had been
secretly employed to such an end, the
reduction of the Republican majority
from four thousand to a bare two
hundred would have been humanity i'm
possible. This fact alone leaves sus-
picion without leg to stand on; and
accusation so grave should not be made
m the absence of clear proof. The
mischief they do is in proportion to their

RELIGIOUS.

Like modern crusaders, a great army
of men marched through the streets OF
Richmond in silent procession Sunday
afternoon, the occasion being the an
nual mass-meeting Of the Federation
of Mems Bible Glasses. More than
5000 men, representing all ages and
practically all denominations, took part
in the demonstration.
From sidewalks, from windows and
porches, that part of Richmond which
did not march in the parade witnessed

speaker, Henry B. F. mcfarland. of
Washington. Governor Mann was also

WELL SAID.

Those people who attribute his defeat
to the State machine" we think go a
step too far. Leaders of the machine"
stumped the Ninth District for Mr..
Stuart, and the very fact that he re-
duced the Republican majority 1000
proved, we think, conclusively that the
party was more united than ever be-
fore. People should be chary of allow
ing their prejudices against some man
or men carry them outside the bounds
of probability. 1t is unfair, and reflects
rather upon the accuser than the ac-
cused and Injuries the party.-Mathews

For one, Lancaster carried the
vote on city commissioners anil
treasurers along with the county
one. We voted against the two
legislative features almost unani-
mously. and gave equally large
majorities for the city aud the
county officers features. The
-Times-Dispatch lost out I'm its
fight against these (Richmond
going for them) while the country
papers, as a rule, supported
them. Our Judgment may have
been in error, butwe are glad the
county officers won, and sorry
the city ones did not.

The startling cold fact stares the Com

of the $45. 200 collected to protect the
public bottoms for the tongers. In adj
dition to this fact on account of the
plentiful supply of marketable oysters
on the James river many planters have
given up their bottoms and become
tongers. Commissioner Massie advanced
the theory of increasing the license tax
on tongers as way of raising revenue.
in that practically all of the money was
spent in protecting the grounds for
them This would doubtless cause a
storm of protest. 1t would have to be
decided by legislative enactment. This
action has been Inexperienced by the

criticised from the viewpoint that the
tonger's license was being raised on
general principles and not specifically
for his protection.
