Entered at the PostofIice at Accomac
G. H.. Va, as second-class matter.

Amendments to the tariff bill which
have been considered and agreed to
by the Democratic senators, known
as the Compromise Committee, now
number 400, and still more, it is
stated, will be insisted upon by Cor
man, Brice and the other tariff
wreckers, despite the fact that the
Wilson bill has been so mutilated by
them that it looks now more like q
Republican scheme than Democrat
ic measure. To such an extent it
seems to have been changed, that
most Democrats will agree with Hoar,
Republican senator, that German,
Hill, Brice and the other so called
conservative committee, have been
false to the oaths and trusts which
their party had reposed in them, and
that the criticism of Mr.. Aldrich,
another Republican senator, that he
didn't know how the Democrats could
reconcile the present high protec-
tive bill with the promises of the par
ty platform, was very proper one.
The bill in its present shape, it is
stated, will certainly pass before the
first of June, and that Senator Hill
is the only Democrat who will vote
against it, and it is to be hoped that
the prediction is correct. Every
Democrat, with rare exceptions, will
agree with Senator Mills that If few
men like German, Brice and Hill, TO
further their own selfish schemes,
will not give us what we had the
right to expect, that the passage OF
the tariff bill is to be desired If it
only contains five cent reduction OF
taxation"

SOUTHERN METH0DISTS.
Address of the Bishops tC the General
Conference ut Memphis

MEMPHIS, TENN, May 1.-The
General Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, which be-
Church, settled down to business to-
day, when Bishop Cranberry read the
address of the bishops. The church
is congratulated upon the wonderful
increase of the past four years which
has been met with from other fields.
The present strength of the church
is 5.4S7 travelling ministers, OF whom
/ $50 are effective, an increase of G25.
Membership, /, 1873, 100, an increase of
161, 191. Faithful discipline was re-
quired. Modern evangelism has Sc
cured the thought and concern of the
church. Methodism combines order
with progress and power with res
possibility.
During four years 500, 1O7, 149 was
contributed to home missions.
Evangelists go to the centers and as.
sumo to vitalize the ministry and
church The success of Il few has en-
couraged many.
BY direction of the last general
conference the board OF foreign mis-
sions undertook an expansion OF
work. They have added twenty
missionaries and fifteen native
workers. The collections of the
Quadrennium were $2S, ll6,441 greater
than before. The debt, which was
cut down Il year ago by $4,000, is
now S102 900. Wonderful growth in
China is reported. The membership
has been doubled in Japan, and is
now 593. The growth in Brazil has
not been hemmed by civil strife.
There are three Mexican conferences.
The Woman's Missionary Society is
highly commended. The Western
work has suffered by decreased APP
preparations, and the church should
do its part III evangelizing the grow
ing West.
The Sunday school cause ilourishes.
Teachers and scholars, S60, 952; gain
of 7G, 5S7.
Ninety per cent. of children's day
collections is TOO much for the AN
nual conference TO retain. Sunday
schools should be missionary socie
ties.
The Epworth League is common
ded. There are now 1913 leagues.
Legislation is advised TO promote
this work, but with no suggestion
save that the organization be tied
closely to the church.
The publishing house is in eX
cellent condition, and the work
growing, but legislation is needed.
The church extension work has
prospered, as has the Woman's
Parsonage and Home Society.
The unification of all the literary
institutions under the supervision of
u board of education was recommen
del to secure advance to the present
needless multiplication and to enlarge
the courses of instruction. Men of
means ought to be rich in good works
and more generally endow the insti
buttons of learning. The claims of
the Colored Methodist Episcopal
Church were noticed and the duty OF
the church TO the negroes was en-
phasized.
The address closes with gratitude
for the wonderful prosperity of the
church, and with sincere fraternal
words towards the NJ. t. Church. BY
declaring that they are able TO do all
episcopal work the bishops virtually
advise no additions to the number of
bishops.

Coxey, Browne and Jones, three OF
the cranks and tramps who recently
invaded Washington, were found
guilty on Tuesday of trespassirg on
the Capitol grounds and released on
$500 bail, after a motion for new
trial was entered. Their attorney
was given four days to file his motion
and about two weeks will elapse be-
fore the same is argued and decided
The maximum punishment which
may be meted out to Coxey and
Browne is 5000 fine and imprisonment
for 100 days-to Jones 800 fine and
GO days. There seems to be no rea-
son why any favor sholld be shown
to them more than to any other
tramp.

The Women and Breckinridge.

There is no doubt that the moral
sentiment Of the people of the dis
trict is against the denomination OF
Breckenridge, and if this idea is
allowed TO hold sway he will be de-
featcd.
The feeling among the women
amounts TO positive hatred, and
many man to preserve and enjoy
his domestic felicity has already
promised to vote against the man
with the illustrious name. As an
illustration the case of q man in Lex
ington is quoted He casually said
that after all he thought he would
support Breckenridge in the race and
his wife evinced no particular in
terest III the matter Later in the
day She inquired the hour OF Breckin-
ridges arrival.
ION the evening train, replied
the husband easily. why DO you
ask
"Oh, I'm going down 10 meet him
and bring him up to dinner
You don't mean it!"
"Why. of course | do. You're
going TO vote for him. Why can't |
receive him.
The intention to vote for him was
changed on the spot Around nine
tenths of the hearthstones of the
Seventh District are seated anti
Breckenridge missionaries far more
dangerous than the most subtle and
experienced politicians, and their in
iluence cannot be over estimated.
There is possibility that this feeling
will grow cold as time goes by, but it
is hardly probable. Already scars
have been left and they will never
be effaced.- Louisville Dispatch tn
Chicago Tribune.

The evidence taken before the
Maryland-Virginia oyster commits
sion, relative to the capture of the
schooners Price and Stevenson by
Captains Hudgins and Read, has
been submitted to Governor O'Fer-
rail- and the Governor is of the opin-
ion. that the evidence proves beyond
q question that the crews of the
Maryland vessels were illegally dredg-
ing in Virginia waters, and that
when captured they were on the Yir-
ginia side of the line. The Governor
having ordered that the sale OF the
vessels be postponed while the mat
ter was under investigation, will not
interpose further objections. it is
presumed, to the sale of the vessels
now that the matter has been de
cided to his satisfaction in favor of
Virginia.

Hon. j. Hoge Tyler and Hon. j.
Taylor Ellyson are already in the
race for the nomination for Governor
of Virginia in 1897. They were nam
ed as probable candidates by their
friends and both have since acknowl-
edged that they were in the hands of
their friends and would make the
fight for the office of chief executive
of the State. Each, doubtless, has
great faith in the old saw, 'that the
early bird catches the worm.n

mote christian unity and fellowship,
to arouse and stimulate christians in

couragement and strengthening. 1t

10 LIQUOR Sellers Need Apply.

Postmaster General Bissell has
practically determined that no saloon
keeper shall be appointed Postmas-
ter. He was asked if it was to be un-
derstood that this rule applied to
hotel keepers who, while not directly
interested in the liquor business.
leased their bars TO others. Mr.. Bis
sell replied: Owe have appointed
men Postmasters who permitted
bars in their hotels, though not in
terested themselves, but we prefer
not.
1T is not temperance question,
nor moral question: said Mr. Bis
sell. Its business question
purely and the Post-ot1ice Depart
ment is a business institution. From
my observation, investigation and
experience l am convinced that any
man who is directly or indirectly in
terested in the liquor business is in a
measure untitled by his occupation
for q Postmaster, and that his inter
est in the business necessarily in
terferes with full and capable dis
charge of his official duties in any

law in that State authorizing the
