The Tape and the Ticker

Despite the strong efforts of the bulls
and despite their predictions the market
was off again yesterday in the most CHS
couraging fashion. Several reasons were
assigned for this condition of things. The
bulls really expected that there would De
a revival yesterday, and another upward
shoot. 1t seems most probable that there
will be a reaction today, and that buyers
for from one-haif to a point profit will
have the best chances. Aside from the
general tendency OF the marketto fiuetuate
under the operations of spectators, the
restoration of fair rates on Ohio soft coal,
and the news of this move, which came in
yesterday afternoon, are expected TO have
good influence. All the roads have re-
stored the rate to the old basis, the res
toration to take effect next Tuesday
Also, there is pleasant expectation that
there will be fine bank statement. It
does not seem probable that there will
be any great advance, however, today or
tomorrow.

Wheat is somewhat stronger again, and
it would seem to be a purchase for short

for higher prices later. and in the present

Spring Club was composed of a limited
number of gentlemen Of the highest
standing in the city Of Richmond. The
leading idea was relaxation, combined
with innocent diversion. The lawyer,
the doctor, the merchant, the editor. the
banker-whosoever came-Was expected
to leave his business cares and his ankle
ties behind him. to unbend. putting off
all Stiffness and, entering into unaffect-
ed social pleasure Political discussions
were prohibited, so that Mr.. Richie, DR..
Brockenbrough, Judge Nicholas, Mr..
Writ, and others OF Democratic faith
met Judge Marshall, Mr.. Wickham. Mr..
Leigh. Colonel Amber, Major Gibbons,
and others, "Old Federalists," with cheer
full greeting, and contributed alike to
the common pleasure and glee. Those
who were athletically inclined grouped
themselves, nominated two captains, CT
headmen, each of whom selected his
partners, to play at quoits; those other
wise inclined moved about, or sat in
groups, talking and telling anecdoes, in
dulging In wit, banter, and humor or
gathering information. both large and
small. John Marshall, though only an
honorary member there were but three
other honorary membership Governor
OF the State. for the time being, Parson
Buchanan. and Parson Blair, was. per-
haps, the leading spirit of the club: and,
when present, was always invited to pre-

"a days journey" as the expression IS
used In the Scriptures, means from 10 10
20 miles. The "Sabbath's day journey"
frequently mentioned in the Bible. was
200 PAGES, or about three quarters OF
mile. The Jews were forbidden TO travel
further than this distance on their Sab
bath. but often evaded the prohibition by
taking a small quantity OF food ana
burying IL in the ground at the required
distance from their homes. whereby this

Disease makes a man just as helpless
as if he were tied with ropes. Weary
lassitude makes his muscles useless--slug-
gish circulation of impure blood fills his
brain with useless clogging matter. Eff
fort is distastefui and brings scant results.
The trouble usually starts with the diges-
ton. Too much brain work takes needed
blood from stomach to head and retards
the stomach's work. The body is not
fed. The nerves rebel. Sleep becomes
a stranger Loss of appetite is followed
by loss of fesll-and all for the want of
the right medicine at the right time. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is for
the man who is losing flesh and vitality.
II is for the man whose digestion needs
help and whose nerves and brain are
overworked. 1t is the greatest of all
tonics. No matter what seems to be your
trouble, the Golden Medical Discovery"
will cure It. 1t cures by making the
blood pure, rich and plenty, and by fur
nishing food for nerves and brain. Moth
ing has ever been found to equal it, but
dishonest druggists sometimes try to
make you believe that something more
profitable to them is "just as good" Do
not be deceived Get what you ask for.

Letter to DR.. Mapp.

My Dear Sir:-I have been one of
the"neutrals"i the contest for the su-
perintendency of our county schools.
Rather, was neutral until the prim
airy forced me from my neutrality.
l am glad to see that you are not
before the primary. A party primary
for this purpose is illegal. This has
been denied. And the answer to it at
the mass-meeting, was an answer
that was recklessly revolutionary.
We were told that we would be justi-
fled in this iliegality, because the
school laws were imposed upon US by
a constitution that was in itself an
imposition, and that needed revision.
That was the plain, bold affirmation,
and no friend of the primary voiced
dissent, or protest. Now for you to
have endorsed this position, and this
whole movement of illegality, would
have seemed strange procedure
You could not afford to take such a
light, defiant view of the particular
school regulations on this particular
subject, and therefore of the entire
system of school regulations as we'll
For ii appointed superintendent, you
would be just as likely to think
lightly of any other regulation, as of
these that lie at the entrance-pro
vided it suited your purpose to do so.
Until we get the new constitution,
we should stand by our school laws.
1t is menace to our schools, if our
school regulations are lightly es-
teemed, or ignored.
At the close of 1896, you and our
people were instructed as to the i'm

Superintendent of Public Schools.

EDITOR OF ENTERPRISE " on VIII
pardon me for a short review of the
evidence that is in Oh the school
superintendent question.
The voluminous correspondence
has been amusing and interesting as
we'll. One side trying to put the
other side in Il hole. One thing in DR..
Mapp's favor is he has had the office
for eight years, and when man holds
an office that long he is hard to
smoke out Judging from the Doc
tors statement in the first part of his
letter l thought Joynes had sprung
the call for primary Oh him. He
says as much. read a long little
and the Doctor speaks of Joynes
house to house canvass and his big
petition. Well, thought, if he took
all this trouble to get up such a big
petition to get the Doctor out, then
the call for a primary must have been
a surprise to him, as well as to DR..
Mapp. 1t looks so.
a primary election is a fair way for
the people to certify their choice of a
candidate to the Educational Board.
1t in no way usurps the power or
authority of the board. The board
is not bound by it, unless they have
agreed to be.
The call for primary is the doingS
of the party, and MIR. Joynes is in no
way responsible for it, as his petition
to the board evidences.
But the question which ought to
concern the people is, who will make
US the best officer to do the work re
quired.
1t seems to me the office is suf-
ficiently important to require the
undivided attention of one man-and
that he should be man whose edu
cation and work has fitted him for
the place. If we were looking for a
superintendent of a hospital, or an
asylum, I should be altogether
in favor of doctor, being along
the line of his profession. would
not think of voting for any
body else. If l had a case in
court l should want lawyer. II |
had several farms that l wanted
overseers for I would want practical
farmer for the place, that is-if you
want your horse trained you employ
a horse trainer, a man who has made
it his life business. That is the way
to dot is common sense applied
it produces the best results possible
for the money spent.
The same principle holds good with
as much greater force as child is OF
more value and Importance than a
horse-when applied to education.
BY all means have a school man at
the head of your schools-and the
results will soon demonstrate the
wisdom of it. Most all cities and
communities of advanced ideas have
adopted this wise plan. There is SO
much to learn now and so much to
do, that one man can't practice medi
cine and be superintendent of schools
and do justice to both. One or the
other must Of necessity be neglected.
AS tax payer and one interested in
the best possible way of spending
the public money for that purpose.
l am in favor of teachers for these
positions. TAX PAYER.

The Southern Baptist Convention,
which met in Wilmington, n. c., on
the 9th inst, adjourned last Monday
to meet next year in Norfolk. 1t was
one Of the most harmonious gather.
ings in the history of the denomina-
ton, and the good results which are
likely to flow from its proceedings
will be too far-reaching to be cor
rectly estimated. 1t was unanimously
voted on the day of the adjournment,
one of the best if not the very best
ever held by Southern Baptists, and
the settlement of the Whitsitt ques-
ton and arrangements made during
the meeting for wiping out the debt
of the Foreign Mission Board seems
to entitle it to all that is claimed for
it. Harmony pervaded all its sessions
and all the work before the body was
performed by its members with an
enthusiasm worthy of the great de-
nomination they represented.

Cuba Will Win.

Washington, May 12.-Consul Gem
eral Lee has made report to the
State Department that Cuba will win.
He declares that Weyler has no
grounds for stating that the island is
pacified; that as a matter of fact the
insurrection was never so strong as
at present. The Cuban forces have
increased in number since his arrival.
He says that the Spaniards will be
driven from the island. The Span
iards are disconnected because of
their failure to get their pay. More
than ever before the Cubans are pur
suing guerilla tactics in harassing
Spanish army. President Mckinley
is reluctant TO make known the re-

Senator Daniel Of late has been
discussing the State campaign with
his friends, and as usual, left them in
no doubt as to how he stood upon
all public questions brought to his
notice. He fully ludorses the posi-

Having been shown a statement to

ty, desire to say that | was written

intendent, could not be postponed
until the wishes of its citizens could
be ascertained.
My recollection of my reply is all |
have to guide Inc, as l have no copy
of it.
According to my recollection, re-
piled that the appointment could be
deferred if the candidates (meaning
both of them) desired it.
The law makes it the duty OF the
State Board OF Education to appoint
superintendent.
70 submit the appointment TO a
primary election would be practical
ly, to transfer the appointing powers
TO an irresponsible body unknown 10
