The .Maryland oystermen and oystn packers are preparing for oue of the big. gest seasons that they hare ever known. The storms did not injute the Chesapeake oysters, and the lew that nave arrived its market are fat and line, and they com mand usually good prices. The danger jg that as soon as the dredg ing seasou opens there will be a repetitidii of the piracies of last year, when organ ized depredators pounced upon f irbidden grounds and stripped them of the oysters. It required a full month of nuval battles, in which several men were killed and several vessels sunk, and as a result of which several dozen piratc9 are now serv ing terms in jail to bring about a proper respect for the law. There is an oyster navy of twelve slooos, two steamers and oue hundred men. which costs the Stati $ SO,OOO a year. In the Chesapeake buy and its tributa ries are the finest and largest oyster beds in the world. The oyster is Maryland's chief source of wealth. In the waters ot that state, not counting the Virginia ter* ttoiy, the oyater beds cover 120,OOOacres. .md they yield annually over #9,000,0001<> about 50,000 people. There are 700 boat engaged in the business. Forty years ago no one dreamed that the enormous supply could be cxliuu-ted, but at that time the shiiyncuts from Baltimore were a few hundred gallons a week. Now there art |sev oral oys'er express trains daily. So continu ous and merciless have been the depre dations that unless more enlightened legls lion is passed and enforced the permanent d ph lion of the territory is certain. The oyster laws of the State are mon grel compromises between the conflict ing ile unnds of the dredgers and tongors. two classes of oystermen whose votes an desirable, and who want ull they can get without regard*Po the future of tin supply. Five years ago .Maryland ap pointed a Commission,with Pro'. Brooks, of Johns Hopkins University, at the head, to investigate the condition of the crop. It spent several mouths at the bay, and the result was an unusually full and val uable report. " Under our preseut pol icy," said this report, " our beds have yielded abjut 10,000,000 bushels of oys ters a year from grounds which are cap able of yielding over 5j0,000,000 bushels annually." The reforms that it recom mended were: The prevention of the sale of immature oysters ; the placing ot young seed oysters on the hay and river bottoms, and oyster farming—the rearing of oysters from the egg, a practical ami profitable culture, since each female oyster produces several millions of young each year. The possibility of intelligent oyster farming is seen when it is known that on the bottom of the Chesapeake are 040,- 000 acres of fine oyster lands. This re port, however, was too theoretical for the demagogues, and year by year they have defeated sensible legislation and allowed the depredations to go on. The fact that the next Legislature will be the best the State lias had for years gives some hope to the thinking people that a better law will lie passed. But as no change can be made for at least five months, the oystermen will improve each opportunity and reap the benefits of tbe advanced prices. •MARRIED.
