WOMAN'S WORK.

The women OF the country do not need
TO go into politics In order TO help the
country along. Their first work, of course,
is in the home circle. but they do not
by any means confne themselves to home
work. The activities of the women OF
the day are manifold. and the world
would be poor. indeed. without them.
To say nothing Of their work in the
church. they are doing more than men
for public charity. They have also done
much TO promote temperance and good
morals and to keep alive the spirit OF pa
triotism.
But in North Carolina they have made
a new departure. At Charlotte they have
inaugurated an Industrial exposition,
which, If all reports be correct, does them
great credit. They have exhibits from
nearly all the manufacturing States Of
the Union, and their art exhibit is said to
be superb.
We wish them abundant success. There
is much of latent energy and enterprise
among the women Of the South. and II
properly organized It VIII be no small fac
tor In the development OF the South's re-
sources.

DANIEL NOT THE ISSUE.

The wise and conservative view ex-
pressed by Major Baker +. Lee, against
the policy of perpetuating discord in the
ranks Of the State Democracy by need
lessly introducing natioanl issues, ought
70 receive careful consideration by that
wing of the party which now seems bent
upon NARROWING those Democrats who
could not agree with them upon free
coinage. Mr.. Lee himself is an original
free-silver man. and feels that he surren-
ders TO principle In ignoring custom

gerous now because it will make 1t i'm
possible for men who are Democrats in
State affairs, according to every proper
test of regularity even, to vote with the

stop to ask whether the candidate they
support is a free-silver man or q gold
standard man, because they know that
as Governor or legislator the candidate
will have no power. We may so further
and say that even In the matter of elect
ing a United States Senator. a majority
OF the gold standard men OF Virginia
would not be willing to see the State
lose the service of a man like John w.
Daniel because he did not, and could not.

We would not presume to NEEDLE IN the
affairs q any religious organization but
we think we may with entire prop-iety
congratulate the Southern Baptists on
their conservative and sen jble course To-
wards the Whitsitt episode.
Ijr. Whitsi,t is an able scholar and
man Of high Christian character. lie
had been making some Investigations
and In the interest Of church history he
had made public the statement. as re-
suit Of his investigation. that prior 20 the
seventeenth century the Baptists did not
practice immersion.
We have not kept up with the, contro-
versy but we take it that Or. Whitsitt
in no sense expressed his disapproval OF
the mode OF Baptism as pract.ced in the
Baptist church to-day, but simply stated
what he believed TO be a fact OF history.
The only possible question. it seems 20
Us, was as to whether or no. Dr. Whitsitt
in what he said. was borne out by
tho fact. IL so surely he could not be
blamed for his statement II rot so. he
was simply in error. without affecting
his standing as a good Christian and
good Baptist.
The committee which had the matter
i'm hand seems 10 have taken that view
of 1t and made a report which must com
mend itself to the good sense of all Chris
tian people Of whatever denomination.
The result was that both the committee
and DR.. Whitsitt received a public ova-
ton IN the convention and the fraternal
tie seems to have been strengthened
rather than weakened by this interesting
episode.
1t is happy end and all true Christians
are pleased with the result. The church
cannot afford 10 be intoierant when
question of fact is the issue. Our Bap-
list friends have set an example which
all denominations may follow to their
profit. The Church can never be hurt by
the truth.

STILL JOINED TO ITS IDOL.

A story was printed In the New York
Tribune of Sunday last from Atlanta,
Ga, in which it was stated that the stock
OF Captain Evan Howell, late president of
Of the Atlanta Constitution, which was
ostensibly sold to a local capitalist, was,
in fact, sold to a Northern man who is a
friend Of Mr.. Hoke Smith, owner Of the
Atlanta Journal, and that this change OF
stock puts the Constitution under the
control Of men who are opposed TO free
silver.
The further statement was made that
the Constitution would soon abandon the
the cause Of free silver, and, in view of
that fact, that Captain Howell had or
ganized a company. with one million dol
lars capital stock, TO conduct morn
ing newspaper in Atlanta in the in
terest of free silver. and in opposition, of
course. to the Constitution.
Mr.. Clark Howell. son Of Captain Evan
Howell. and editor of the Constitution
under the present management, tele-
gIaphed q Northern paper yesterday that
the report that the Gold Democrats either
now hove control or will have control Of
the Constitution, is absolutely without
foundation. He says that only part of the
stock has changed hands. and that that
in no wise affects the policy Of the paper,
which will be stronger than ever In favor
OF the policy it has so persistently urged. ."
In other words, that the Constitution is
still joined to its silver idol.

A NUT FOR PROTECrIONIsTS TO
CRACK

In our comment the other day on the
Senate tariff bill we said that the COM
mittee had confessed that 1t was unable
to frame bill which at the same time
would produce enough both OF revenue
and protection without resort to inter-
nal taxation.
Hon. William L. Wilson. author Of the
tariff law which bears his name. in a
communication in yesterdays New York
Herald emphasizes that fact Among
other things. Mr.. Wilson says:
THE general remaking OF the Dingley
bin by the Finance Committee of tho
Senate and the addition OF revenue taxes
on tea and beer show that the members
Of that committee, after thorough study
Of its schedules. rejected the estimates OF
Mr.. Dingley and his associates as 10 the
revenue producing capacity OF the House
bill Nothing could be more significant
on this point than their resort TO taxes
which protectionists always avoid II pos
sible. all Of whose proceeds 80 to the
public Treasury and none 10 protected
interests. This may be accepted as n be-
ginning-under oompulsion, It IS truc-of
a policy that IS sure to control in future
ttTlH leBl,iduOn.
With our annual pension payments alb
sorbing almost the entire avails OF in
ternal taxes, no tariff that is highly pro-
tective can produce sufficient revenue TO
meet the large and swelling expenditures
Of the Federal government More and
more we shall be compelled TO conside
revenue and not protection in choosing
subjects of tariff taxation and in fixing
the rates of duty upon them"
This is TO our mind the most interesting
phase of the tariff question to-day from
the protectionist standpoint. The ex-
penses Of government have reached such
enormous proportions that high protec-
tive measure, which in many instances
excludes importations. will not yield suf-
fcient revenue 10 meet them. These ex-
penses instead OF decreasing are constant
ly increasing and as the years 30 by,
II the country IS TO live under a high pro-
tective tariff, # is very clear that inter-
nal taxation will have to be continually
increased 1t is a knotty problem for
the protectionists TO solve. They are
killing the foreign goose that lays the gol-
den egg.

ANFxPoRTER on THE TARIFF.

Mr. Charles r. Flint. New York ship
ping merchant. who exports great guam
titles OF merchandise to the South
American countries and who ought.
therefore. to be well posted in respect to
our export trade writes an interesting
article in the Forum in respect to that
subject. Mr.. Flint takes no stock what
ever in the theory OF Dingley, Reed Nc
Kinley ct ais, that the way to build up
our trade is to drive all foreign trade
away from US.
A notable point in his paper is the pro-
ness and force, that the great depression
which came upon the country FIVE years
back was due 10 the overstimulation that
a high protective tariff had given 10 the
business Of the country. This operated
until it brought us face TO face with the
fact that "our power Of production and
our output OF manufactures far exceeded
the demand for home consumption, and
one half of our industrial energy had to
lie unemployed"
This Is a great and cardinal considera-
ton In connection with a protective tariff
theory that protectionists will never pay
any regard to. The last one of them de-
scants in season and out of season upon
the necessity OF a home market for our
manufactures. But, obviously. If the
home market Is reserved for our manu-
features, all Of whom are TO stand upon

The AccOmac School superintendent,

Editor OF The Times
Sir,-The communication published IN
your issue Of May 4th, touching the con-
test for superintendent OF public schools
for Accomack county. contains some
statements that are misleading ana should
not, in justice to all concerned, be al
lowed TO 90 unchallenged.
As this contest has assumed more than
local Importance, IL may not be out or
place 10 state the leading facts connected
with il. Late last autumn il became
known that Or. John L. Mapp. who mas
held the position for the past eleven
years, and Mr.. G. c. Joyner, principal or
the Onancock Public High School, would
be candidates for the appointment. Botn
these gentlemen sent out petitions but
neither Of them made any close canvass.
as has been repeatedly asserted, but was
disproyed in the mass-meetlng at Apru
court.
Mr. Joyner was kept closely at home
by his school duties and had no time 10

mean. His petitions were circulated by
his friends in almost every negnborhood
OF the county and by the middle OF March
before his school clOsed-hls petitions
contained about LOO names OF the repre-
sentative white citizens and voters OF tnis
county.
1t was urged that Mr.. Joyners petition
had been gotten by persistent canvassinI
and that It did not reflect the wishes or
the people. 1t was then that his f%enos
proposed 10 submit the question 10 a pri-
mary election, and Dr. Mapp was Informed
Of the proposition. This was early IN
February
A gentleman residing In this town
wrote 10 State-SuDerlntendent Massey
about the proposed primary. and received
from him a letter saying tnat the BOARD

duties reduced below what they had been
under the Mckinley act. Foreign coun-
tries had begun TO take our products ne
cause. under the reduced duties OF the
Wilson tariff, they were able 10 sell their
goods here, and thus our people got the
advantage of cheaper goods when they
bought and our manufacturers cot a
market for what they produced in excess
OF what our people would take from
them. The effect OF this foreign demand
in the way OF keeping our manufacturers
at work is shown by the fact that our
exports Of manufactured goods during the
three months preceding the last election

spending months Of 1892 Ca great year..

Finally, there IS this notable fact con-
nected with the proposed new tarin bill
as it has been kneaded IN the Senate
Committee on Finance. All pretence or
combining protection and revenue togeth-
er is abandoned and. so far as the new
bill is to be considered a revenue measure,
il must depend for its defence upon the
nature and character of the taxes 1t i'm
poses, and so far as 1t is protective
tariff BILL 1t must stand wholly upon the
proposition that it proposes 10 exclude
foreign goods in order that American
manufacturers may have the exclusive
right TO sell their goods TO Americans.
The changes the Senate committee has
made are expected 20 raise sS500O,0oO from
beer, tobacco, and tea, and $l5,OOOoOo from
wool and sugar, which is thought to be
what is necessary TO meet the deficiencies
in the revenue. The other taxes imposed
