THE RESULT.

The result Of Tuesdays town election
is verdict, by slim majority Of our
people, in favor OF repudiating the in
terest on the outstanding warrant in
debtedness. The will OF the majority is
law until the courts declare otherwise,
and II there is warrant holder verdant
enough to still labor uddsr the delnsion
that he viii voluntarily receive more
than face for his warrants he is certainly
mistaken. There are many good citi-
zens OF Ceur d'Alene who voted with
the majority from q sincere and conseien-
tious conviction that they were right,
and it is to this class We trust time will
point out the error OF their way. Under
present conditions it is useless to thresh
over old straw and it is best for the town,
best for its people, to accept the situa-
ton because it is the will OF majority,
but it does not necessarily carry with it
an endorsement of the principle repre-
scented. Time alone will prove the wis
dom or folly OF the course adopted, and
we hide our tiTee. Aside from the idea
Of the town discounting the interest on
its own paper, the newly elected board
will undoubtedly administer its affairs
in businesshke and economical manner,
and this fur its members are entitled to
the hearty support and cooperation OF
our citizens.

1t is not true that avenues of profit
able employment are closed to woman
to an extent much. if any greater than
to men. There are various kin q Of
business from which the fact Of sex ex-
cludes men, and there are other kinds
from which woman are excluded for the
same reason. But there has been gen.
erNl and wide opening Of avenues of use
full and profitable activity for women
since the second half Of the century
came in Indeed, If the change goes
on at the present rate, it may not be
long before men will have IS much cause
Of complaint on the score Of employ

may properly be employd they have the
the right of way- As telegraphers, as
Office clerks, as tenders of stands in mar
kets. they have an equal chance with
men. No law or prediudice excludes
women from owning and managing
stores. factories or banks, and they are
among the successful real estate opera
tors in many cities. In literature the
work Of women is as profitable in pro-
portion to qualities as that of men. In
music and the drama women achieve as
many and as great successes as the other
sex. The national government, as well
as most Of the state and municipal gov
ernments have thrown the avenues Of
profitable employment vide open to the
wives, daughters and sisters Of the male

W. Graham Smith of Williamsburg
was attending by chance a reunion of a
certain family in Upper Dorchester,
and after a recital of family history by
all members and scions present, Mr..
Smith was called upon to tell something
about the Smith family The request
was very unexpected to him, but be en-
ally pulled himself together and explai1-
ed; THE Smiths were the first people
created. Our family history goes back
to the Garden Of Eden. Adam was
named Adam Smith and our first mother
was named Eve Smith. For many hun
bred years there was nobody but Smiths
in the world. But occasionally some
member would do something mean
for instance get drunk. like Noah Smith
did or kill man like Cain Smith In
all such cases the offending member
was driven out Of the family and his
name changed, aud this accounts for the
Joneses, the Browns aud the thousands
of other families, who originally took
their start from these outcasts of the once
universal Smith family. By this tradi-
tional policy of expulsion. practiced from
the early partriarchal days to the present
time. the Smith family has always main
tanned its integrity and purity, and has
remained as it was in the beginning the
very cream and salt Of the earth. -

Ncw having every confidence in the
sincerity Of Mr.. Bond and those who
share his misgivings, we meet then with
equal frsnkasss, not Cor the purpose Of
bandying words and newspaper contro-
versy. but with plain business PROPOSE
ton, binding ourselves as operators Of
the LOCUST Point Tobacco Warehouses
and our successors and assigns in the
business by bona dde guarantee as
stated, and which we stand ready TO ex-
ecute at any time. II is reasonable,
therefore, to ask your people to con-
tinue sending US their tobacco until they
shall find that some Of them who have
come on here to Baltimore for the pur-
pose Of testing the genuineness OF our
proposed guarantee, shall have discover
ed any reasonable ground to doubt our
good faith and ability to carry it out
Meanwhile we think it in order TO ask
who are doing the above mentioned
missionary work to hold up uatil they
have tested our guarantee.
By The wsv Of further assurance as to
the undertaking, il is simple truth to
say that over twentY-one years expert
euce in carrying on this business has
demonstrated that the present rates are
amply renumerative. and it would be
foolish TO incur the displeasure Of our
patrons BY a needless extortion, which
would undoubtedly create complications
and hurt our business, which is essenti-
ally commercial enterprise, and hav-
ing been so conducted and controlled BY
Us for the past twenty-one years. il is
not likely that even corporate greed
could influence the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company 10 interfere and op-
press the planter when the natural result
Of such a course would be to invite a
competition that would break up its own
business
In view of the sagacity attributed to
us by Mr.. Bond, how can it be that our
mission is TO destroy the tobacco planter
when it is logically to our interest to CO.
operate with him and build him up,
since his adversely would deprive us Of bis
patronage while his prosperity would
increase our business. In this connec-
ton we say distinctly that it is our pro-
vince and business advantage. just as
much as it is that Of any commission
merchant in Baltimore, to protect the
tobacco planter and promote bis interest.
As to the State warehouses and there
operation on business principles, past,
present and future, we have nothing to
say. Our relations with those in charge
Of them have always been pleasant and
probably nine out of every ten Of our
employees have been employed there.
We trust Mr.. Bond and his friends
will be satisfied with the foregoing
statement Of our positions. which We
submit in the friendly spirit manifested
in his communication, and give US the
opportunity Of meeting any other objec-
tons he may have. In the meantime il
will give us pleasure to receive bis crop
of tobacco, which shall have our faithful
care and attention.
Very truly yours,
