EQALITY is EQUITY.

Speaking for the Times 1--WE cannot
speak for Virginia. we say that we will
willingly, aye, more than willingly, sur

receives from protection on coal, iron ore
potatoes, peanuts and every thing else
II our tariff legislation is framed on the
principle Of protection for none, and dis
tribution OF import duties equally and
ratably upon all imports.
We believe in the principle Of absolute
free trade and we abhor the principle Of
protection in every form. But If the tariff
Is 10 be framed upon the principle Of
protecting some and imposing burdens
upon others then we shall kick against
Virginia and we shall claim every bene-
fit that comes In sight. We shall be gov

The Snowfall Nuisance,

tainiy obscurity cannot be laid at Its door'
IL means that II is not TO be tolerated that
tariff duties shall be so imposed as to pro-
mote especial interests and enterprises
Yet he approves OF the bill reported by
the Wilson Committee. and he said In his
recent message that the raw materials
used by manufacturers must be admitted
free OF duties, and the reason given for
II is that II will afford protection TO the
interests OF those working men who labor
In the factories that use those raw ma
terials. IL this is not "justifying
tariff taxation for the express
purpose and intent OF thereby pro-
noting especial interest and enter
prses," then language has no meaning,
Legislation OF the sort recommended by
him IS for the express purpose OF benefit
ting the Americans who use those raw
materials in manufacturing their goods,
and for the further benefit of those la
boring men who work in those factories,
but every dollar that goes into the pockets
Of these manufacturers or those workmen
in excess of what other Americas could
buy their wares for from the outside
world, is that much money forcibly ia
ken from one set OF Americans to be paid
to another set. How Mr.. Clevelands two
doctrines are to be reconciled, we cannot
understand. One is the doctrine Of abso-
Lutte free trade subject to the revenues
that must be raised by equal and uni
form taxation, the other is the protection
doctrine OF Harrison, Mckinley, Reed and
other Republican leaders. Whether Mr..
Cleveland is willing to carry IT as far as
they would, we can only guess. All we
can now say is that 1t is their doctrine
pure and simple

WE MUST MAKE OUR ELECTIONS
HONEST.

The Times is glad to be able TO say that
its efforts 10 have our election methods
improved are meeting with a gratifying
response. We meet with little or no
denial that cheating is the rule in many
OF the negro counties. whilst We receive
affirmation after affirmation from the
counties themselves that 1t is. We have
ourselves, not the slightest doubt that in
many localities there is no such thing as
elections now. The ballot-boxes are what
those who manipulate them choose they
shall be. This state OF things is al pres
ent confined to counties where there are
negro maiorities. But IT cannot remain
confined to them. 1t must spread until
Il covers the face OF the whole State.
unless 1t is met fairly and squarely and
stamped out. And II must remain the
case while our election system remains
itself. IT consists in putting the mastery
OF the elections and ballot-boxes under a
board OF partsans. all OF one party. who
take their proceedings in secret with no
supervisory power OF any sort whatever
over them. The men who have this
despotic mastery OF our elections would
need to be better than angels even II
they could resist the temptation 20
ignore frauds perpetrated in the interest
OF their own party. II inevitably results
in election officers being appointed by the
electoral boards who perpetrate frauds In
the elections and in the IoaTds afterwards
being wholly unable to obtain evidence of
frauds that they are rot too diligent in
ferreting out.
There is one way, and OILY one way 10
correct this state OF things and that is 10
put our elections hack under the control
Of the courts. You mey occasionally find
proceeding. but such case is an excep-
tion. and, 10 the honor OF our race be IL
said. Il is a rare exception. The rule is that
when elections are controlled by courts
they are fair. II must be so from the
very nature OF the case. A judge of what
ever party who permits even a suspicion
OF fraud TO attach to his ermine is a lost
man. In the popular mind a Judge is
the antipode OF fraud. and the Judge
who Is even suspected OF sanctioning
fraud Is as wholly branded and con-
demned by all as the condemned criminal

dplo that pervades every region

A Card From Senator Watson.

Editor Times: The report OF the eau
Gus proceedings Friday night did me
unintentional injustice in quoting my
remarks nominating Mr.. Epps for Sec
ond Auditor
The meaning intended was that my
friend should not be disadvantage be-
cause he failed to have borne part in
the war.

regard than for the disabled soldiers Of
the Confederacy who occupy Capitol
offices, and for none would 1 at any
time do more cheerful service,

WHAT THE NORFOLK PEOPLE SAY
Their Surprise al the Defeat of General

Lee.
The gentlemen who went to Richmond
In the interest Of General Lee returned
yesterday very much disguised with the
action Of some Of the members OF the
Legislature. Very hard things were said
about Mr. Kellam. OF Norfolk, and Mr.
Leggett, OF Princess Anne, who will have
some trouble in putting up his fences"
when he returns home.
From all accounts there was much
bitterness and denunciation.
Many Democrats express the hone that
the party may successfully ride the storm
or turmoil, and that when the political
sky brightens II will be found the cause
OF Democracy has received no serious
injury.-Norfolk Virginian OF yesterday.
