The result of the .vote that has
been going on in the' Northern
Methodist Churches on the ques
tion of admitting women as
deligates to the general Conference
ii In r. favor of the "Sisters", who
asnirt toA take , a hand in church
government. This reminds us that
Ben Butterworth, the Secretary of
the World's Fair Commissioners
denies that he ever said there were
ever too many ladies on the com
mission. "No one acquainted with
me" be said "would ever accuse
me of saying there were too many
ladies anywhere."
The Republican leaders seem to
be incapable of understanding the
meaning of the great political cy
clone of November. They are
giving all sorts of solutions and
without learning anything by ex
perience. They fail to see that
there is great uneasiness and dis
satisfaction among Western farm
ers, and that the Republican
papers of that great section are
almost united in their stern de
mands for a reduction of the new
tariff tax. The distress among the
farmers is very genuine and wide
spread. The farming industry .has
very greaily suffered and the de
mand for a change is strong and
determined. Wilmington Messen

He Got His License.
A colored couple were noticed in the
vloinity of the oourt house yesterday
inquiring anxiously for the "redisher'e
offloe." The man aaid he wanted a
"marriage stifferson and a olar title to
this heah gal." Capt. Richardson was
doubtful about the bride being old
enough but affidavit being made with
three loud kisses on the Bible that she
was "nineteen last spring," he decided
to grant their wish, bnt informed them
that the title would not be "clar" until
he was paid three dollars. This was
speedily done and the lioense being
procured the servioes of J. J. Tolion,
Esq., were oalled into requisition and
soon their title to each other was made
olar," The groom then gave the
bride a rapturous hug and a resounding
kiss and they departed on their happy
way.

The Oyster Question.
Eastern North Carolina is on the
threshold of a very important epoch in
the development of an indnstry which
if surrounded by the proper regulations
and safeguard, is almost oertain to
quiok become a tower of financial
strength for this section, or which if
left to move recklessly without the re
straining hand of wise legislation, ia
doomed after the lapse of a brief period
of prosperous activity, to almost certain
extinotion. We refer to the oyster and
oyster canning business. But few
persons realize the importance of the
problem that confronts us.
It is an inexorable law of nature that
no product of land or water that man
desires in largo quantities for his use
and which Is easily accessible will con
tinue to give an undiminished suoolv
unless domesticated or cultivated. The
noble buffalo has virtually beoome ex
terminated in this generation although
a few brief years ago immense herds of
them roamed at will over our broad
western prairies, the seal is fast disap
pearing before tbe energies directed by
a great demand, aod at an early day,
if the oyster beds are allowed to be de
nuded entirely of their contents when
worked, and no tflort made to replace
them the oyster may soon be expected
to become a luxury for the tables of the
rioh beyond the reach of people of mod
urate means.
Prof G. Brown Qoode in discussing
the exhaustion of oyster beds affirms
that ia the case of fixed animals like
spongea, muaaeU, clams and oysters,
the colonies or beds may be exterminat
ed exactly as a forest of trees may be
out down. He says the oyster beds of
Pocomoke sound, Maryland, have been
choked and ruined by the rubbiah raked
oyer them and by tbe destruction by
o trelesa dredgers of the ledges suitable
for young pprat.
The Elizabeth City Economist alludes
to the methods pursued in dredging
oyeterg in Pamlico sound as a merciless
onalBught, and expresses the opinion if
this destructive course is continued that
the supply will not hold out five years,
and wants the Legislature to plainly
understand tbe situation.
uenerai uraaiey T. Jonnson says in
the Baltimore Sun "The oystermen and
the packers will now tell you that the
oyster industry has left Baltimore and
hiB moved South. It is located for the
present in North Carolina, and thenoe
will move in due course to the Gulf of
Mexico."
Shall we not take waruing by the ex
perience of others and at once take the
needful steps, now that we have the
oyster industry thriving among us, to
keep it here by enacting and enforoing
laws that will prevent tbe eradication
of the natural beds and lend a fostering
haod to their culture? Some countries
of the eaBtern hemisphere are oulti
vating oysters to great advantage. New
York has begun to do so and is selling
off lands suitable for shell-fish culture
in plats for that purpose? Why shoald
North Carolina delay moving in this
matter until neoessity forces her to do
so? We should learn wisdom by the
experience of others and bestir our
salves in the matter at onoe.
We cannot close this article better
than to give the following additional
extract from General Johnson:
"It is simply diigraoefol to the saga
city, patriotism and energy of our peo
ple that we should allow thia great
treasury of nature to be destroyed be
fore our eyes. We have a natural mo
nopoly of the capacity of producing the
finest oysters in the world. They are
eagerly bought everywhere a railroad
can carry them. Our oyster grounds if
improved will produce enough to supply
all possible demands for generations,
and we are permitting them to be de
stroyed with no intelligent effort to
save them."
The Weighing of Truck.
New York retailers of Southern truck
are striving to have a city ordinanoe
passed requiring the sale of both fruit
and vegetables by weight. The New
York correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun says that it is a matter of grave
finanoial interest to the market gardners
sending truck to New York, and that
both the wholesale dealers and growers
are very much opposed to it, but that it
is strongly advocated by the looal retail
growers, and that they have the politi
cal pull to wake up the slumbering
minds of their municipal solons, and
that in order to help them out the
Grocer's Association had a practical
demonstration of the workings of the
proposed new law, at their hall in East
Twenty-third street, to which they in
vited the Aldermen. The report of the
market committee waa in favor of the
new law.
