It is odd. how little clamor there is
from the ami-civil aervire patriots for
lieneral I--.?'s place at Havana..
Th Ma n and Belligerency.
The Chl-aK' Chronicle says:
"When in -uje of Insurrection like
that of the I'nited StateH frtin lvil to
lsfii or like that now in Cuba a neutial
pwrr tnuKniZt-x the condition tf b-l-liKr-nc
it HurrenJers all claim for
damages from either pirty in case of
loss by it citizens through acts of
war."
The Chionic le ftays this is an elemen
tary principle of international law, and
tilts this aa a precedent: .
"Jn 162, France having re-o;ntzed
the b-ll:erenc-y of the Confederate
tates, the military tribunals at New
irltans imposed fines and confiscation:!
on Bcveial French residents of that
city. France' remonstrated and de
manded payment of damages to Us ob
jects who had suffered loss.
"The I'nited States refused payment
on the Kround that France, in recotrnU
Uik the belligerency of the insurjfenia.
had declared that a public war existed
and no claims for damases tan be
made on account of acta of war."
The precedent is correc t, but it does
not prove that the Chronicle's alleged
principle of International law that a
neutral power which has recognized a
condition of bellmereney thereby sur
renders its ritfht to claim damages from
either party in case of lows by its cit
izens through acts of war. What the;
Chronicle does establish and all, we
think, that it tan establish -is that
danuiKes by belligerents are not collect
ible as aitainsi the nation from whom
the belligerents revolted.
t'ontmuinK-lhe Chronicle sas:
"This doctrine applies to ttie case of
the Maine. If the I'nited States had
recoRnized the belligerency of Cula and
an American merchant ship In Havana
harbor had been destroyed by torpe
loes whether planted by Spain or
launched by private persons there
could have been no claim for damages.
The los would have occurred by an
act of war. which this government had
declared to exist.
"If this is true f damage to pri
vate property of course it is true as to
public property. If the I'nited States
had declared that a condition of war
existed in Cuba and its waters and had
sent one of its ships with or without
the consent of -Spain to the harbor of
Havana they would accept the peri?
and have renounced all claim for dam
aes in I'll "f less. The government
must submit to the law made for ita
citizens."
These coiii'hisioh may be doubted. If
the I'nited States should recognize the
belligerency of th- Cuban insurgents,
then Spam would not longer ! respon
sible for the damage the insurgents,
might do to property of citizens of the
I'nited States or to pioperty
belonging to the I'nited States

would still be responsible for
damage committed by Spaniards on
the property of either citizens of the
I'nited States or the government of
the I'nited Slates. Spain cannot cscap.

Harrison and Ta Reform.
The" address of ex-'resident Harrison
in Chicago Tues. lay is attracting great
.ill. nil. .n. Himself a man of wealth,
a re, i ni pleader In-fore the Supreme
court of the I'nited States against tht
inheritance tax law of Illinois, a sup
potter of the doctrine of protection in
its very essence n system of unequal
taxation and a corporation lawyer, if
all this combined with his prominence
had not drawn attention to his warn
ing, or if his words lacked conviction,
still, coming from ;t man with the en
vironment fortune has allotted to him,
be must have secured wide healing.
Mr. Harrisons warning was so im
pressive that we print it again:
"If there is not enough public virtue
left in; our communities to make tax
frauds discreditable, if there is not vi
ritttv tnouk-h left in our laws and in
the administration of Justice in our
toiirts to bring to punishment those
v ho .1. ir iii l the State ami their neigh
lois; if crimen or fraud may staik un
tebuk d and unpunished in our streets,
bow long will it be until crtm.es of vio
lence make insecure the fortunes that
have refused to contribute - ratably tt
tlie comi of maintaining social order?
In other words, -the whirlwind is
ready f. r the reaping. The Injustices
of taxation and the fact that the as
sessments fall in undue projvortion on
the poor do not escape the knowledgi
of the masses. Thy have noted, and
beur in mind, that the proposition of
the democratic party to tax incomes
met defeat only after the change of one
vote In the Supreme court, and in the
face of the solemn warnings of the mi
nority Judges who. in voting for the
constitutionality of the law. followed
the precedents of the court for Renera
tions.
The most notable feature of the ex
rrvsident's address, however, was the
little hope it held out of a change for
the better. Mr. Harrison had no system
to propose for the more Just collection
of taxes. His appeal was to the con
sciences of the dishonest rich or rath
er their fears and he had no real rem
edy for the disease of tax-dodging, to
say nothing of a cure. It Is here that
the advocates of a single taxone tax
(and no other) on land values demand
a hearing. They propose a radical re
form, a cure for all the evils of tax
dodglne. A tax on land would obvtousl)
be a collectable tax always. sinc neith
er the land nor the fact of ownership
could be concealed. Or. In the words
of the single tax platform adopted
August 3. 193, the single tax would:
"1. Take the weight of taxation off
the agricultural districts where the
I land has little or no value, irrespective
of improvements, and put It on towns
and cities, where bare land rises to a
value of millions of dollars per acre.
"2. Dispense with a multiplicity of
taxes and a horde of tax gatherers
simplify government and greatly reduce
its cunt.
:!. Do away with the fraud, corrup
tion and gross inequality inseparable
from our present methods of taxation
which allow- the rich to escape while
the grind the poor. Land cannot be
hid carried off, and Its value can be
ascertained with greater ease and cer
tplnty than any other.
"4. .... It would do away with the
tines and penalties now levied on any
one v. ho improves a farm. erects a
house, builds a machine, or in any way
adds t. the general stock of wealth. It
would leave everyone free to apply la
bor or expend capital in production ot
ex'lu-nge without fine or restriction,
and Mould leave to each the full pro
duet of his exertion.
"5.- it would, on the other hand, by
taking for public use that value that
ittacfs to land by reason of the
trro-.v'h and Improvements of the com
mtuilty. make the holding of land un
profitable to the mere owner, and prof
its h'e only to the user. It would thus
make it impossible for speculators and
monopolists to hold natural opportuni
ties unused oronlyhalf used, and would
throw often to labor the illimitable field
of employment which the earth offer?
to man . . . ."
W hat has Gen. Harrison to propose
that is belter than the single tax?
Nothing, so far. And yet some change
must come or worse.

r the reception being given the band
through the South may be had from
tlw following criticism, taken from the
Atlanta Constitution:
" Innes anil his famous fifty, compos
ite one of the tinest bands in America,

Tuesday evening's offering is one of

:i.rtt. the monologist. in his impersona

:ilav occupies fully one hour and three
piarters. and introduces from nine to
12 characters. The plays are all mod
in. Mr. Elliott never took a lesson In
inv brunch pertaining to his art, and
nis work is all natural. All who hear
lin are invariably impressed with the
-on vict ion that his personality and tal-
-ut should seek a broader field the
stage. From an early age Mr. Elliott
was notable as an amateur actor and
his inclinations all tended in that direc-
icn. He gave up a lucrative business
and sought the platform rather than
he stage. He Invested all his gifts and
us energy in his w ork, and with the re
sult that today the platform has as
iniiue nnd accomplished a histrionic
o.-rsonality as is before the general
public today.

Cont'deration of the Report on the
Employment of Street Laborers
Other Business Before the Alder
men. The report of the street committee of
ts investigation of the employment of
itreet workmen, in accordance with a
-esolution introduced by Alderman Hill
ast week, was submitted at the meet
ng of the Hoard of Aldermen last
veiling, all of the members being pres--nt.
The report, as told in The Citizen
Thursday, exonerated Street Superin
.endent Kostic and recommended that
le employ on the street work citizens
-.vho owe poll tax, and. when these can
aot be had, to use his discretion in the
.-mploying.
Alderman Scott objected to the lat
er clause of the report on the ground
hat it came in conflict with-a formei
rder of the Board.
Alderman Hill thought the work
ught to be given to taxpayers of the
ity in every case where they would
A-ork. "There s nothing political in u
.vith me." he said. "I don't dispute
vvhat the aentlemen have said, but 1
mw that men have gotten pay from
he city who hate come to town lately.
'.Vhen politics gets above business u s
ime to throw up the sponge.
Citv Attorney Craig said it was
natter of business. If Superintendent
iostic could get more and better work
rom men from McDowell or any othe:
ounty than he could get from men at
tome it seemed that it would be better
o employ the outside men.
Alderman Mears. chairman of the
street committee, said that, in one in
dance, out of 25 men who owed poi
ax ami were asked to work it out one
nan reported for work.
Superintendent Bostic was asked foi
a statement and said that until re
cently he had understood the Board's
irder to anplv strictly to men wnc
wed poll tax. Since that time he hat1.
worked but one man whom he knew
.va not a taxiiaver. and this one
worked one day.
Mayor Kankin made a statement re
'nnline a newspaper item to tile ef
iect that he should have appointed Al
lerman Hill, the mover of the resolu
tion on the committee of investigation.
The Mayor said he had not intended
my slight to Aluerman Hill. The
'oard had decided to put it in the
rands of the street committee, one of
the permanent committees of the body
Regarding the publication alluded to
Alderman Hill said "such things win
ret out and arc made bigger than they
eally are. You appointed three men.
nd that was what the resolution
ailed for."
Alderman Kennedy remarked upon
he number of men on the payrolls
.t hose names could not le found on the
ax books. Superintendent Itostic said
nere were probably not 10 men on tht
lajToll who were not on the regulai
ist or on schedule B, or were over 50
-ears old. He showed where the tax
ad been paid by several whose names
t was said could not be found on the
fax hooks.
Alderman Kennedy made no specific
bjection to the adoption of the repor t.
Vldernian Jones amended the last
lause of the report, so that Superin
tendent Bostic was instructed to em
nloy. first, persons who owe poll tax:
and when such persons cannot be had
then he Is to use his discretion in em
ploying good men. citizens of the city,
under the supervision of the street
ommittee. This seemed satisfactory
to all, and the report w as adopted.
WATER TAX EXEMPTION.
Rev. Dr. J. S. Felix, pastor of the
First Baptist church, told the Boarc
that he was paying excessive water
rent, the amount being $30 or $40 a
tear. A meter had been put in by the
ity. and while it did not work thor
oughly its readings indicated that his
water" rent by the meter measurement
w ould be materially lessened. "City
Attorpey Craig." he said, "tells me he
nays only $15. and he needs more water
than I do." Mr. Craig replied that the
Board maybe did not look at it that
way. the Doctor being a Baptist Dr.
Felix also expressed the hope that the
churches of the city could be exempt
rrom w ater tax. . Water Superintendent
Roberts said new dials had been or
dered for the meters, and when these
were placed Dr. Felix could pay accord
ing to the meter rate.
On motion of Alderman Jones the
Board exempted churches and parson
ages from water tax. Alderman Scott
and Burnett voting no. their objection
beinsr to exempting parsonages. The
question as ti what would be consider
ed a parsonage under this order came
up. and it seemed the sense of the
Board that it should be church prop
erty occupied by the pastor.
McConnell Bros, were granted a per
mit to build two six-room houses on
Water street near North Main.
In the matter of the stoppage by the
Asheville and Biltmore railroad of a
drain In front of Dr. John Hey Wil
liams' property on South Main. Street
Superintendent Bostic was instructed
to notify the company to repair the
damage.
El H. Merrimon asked the Board to
repair the street at the intersection ol
Haywood street and French Broad av
enue, where there is a mudhole, and
the request went to the street commit-
tee.-
T. C. Starnes spoke of the need of t
fr line on Grady street, one side ol
which street is now built up. Referred
to water and sewer committee. .
Col. V. S, Lusk asked that he be al
lowed to pay the street assessments
due on a lot on West Haywood street.
on which he held a deed of trust, and ,
which was bought in by tbe city. Tht
request was granted .
Mayor Rankin stated that the Ashe
ville Street Railroad company switch
on South Main is a necessity and asked
that it tie allowed to remain, on the
condition that new rail be put down
and the paving replaced so that the
track would not obstruct traffic. Re
ferred to the street committee with
power to act.
I'roperty owners on Flint street
asked that the portion of street be
tween West Chestnut and Magnolia
avenue be accepted and worked. Re
ferred to the street committee, as was
a petition for a plank walk on Hilde
brand street, sent in by members ant
friends of the A. M. E. church.
Superintendent J. D. Eggleston, jr.,
of the city schools, one of the commit
tee, reported that Asheville could not
get the meeting of superintendents of
the N. E. A. for next year: and added
that the city is now unprepared to fur
nish a proper meeting place for a bodv
of 1200 or more a reminder of the need
of an auditorium.
Alderman Scott reported that work
had already begun on the foundations
for the new pump at the waterworks.
In a communication H. T. Collins..
Capt. Thos. D. Johnston. W. J. Cocke
and W. I.,. Shope suggested a width of
14 feet for the French Broad avenu?
macadam, and the manner of rolling
and spreading the stone. The Board
discussed the question, and it was
thought that the stone being used was
not of sufficiently good quality. Fin
ally Alderman Jones moveti that if
property owners along the avenue ad
vance the funds neccessary. the work
would be done in a first class manner
and in the meantime City Engineer Lee
is to furnish by next meeting an esti
nate of the cost of the work if the citv
should use stone from its own quarry.
Superintendent Bostic was authorized
to use the remainder of the stone that
is now on the cars.

THERE'S A SCARCITY.
Weekly Remarks Upon Conditions in
Central Market.
There is a general scarcity on the
produce market, this being particularly
true of the green products of Florida.
This fact is due to the severe storm
which recently visited the section of
that State below- Tampa. Below the
city mentioned telegraph orders could
not be placed.
A large number of California oranges
are being sold on the local market, the
improved quality accounting in a large
part for the increased sale.
A large shipment of New York State
onions have been received, the prevail
ing wholesale price being $1.40. Onions
brought more than this last year.
Fewer chickens are being marketed
and prices are higher. Eggs advancec
n price Monday and Tuesday, but are
now steady at 10 cents per dozen.
Florida cabbages are being received
but as native cabbages may be obtain
ed so much cheaper there is very little
demand for the imported variety.
Apples and Irish potatoes are un
usually scarce.
Reef cattle are scarce and pt-'ce
have advanced. Good cattle now bring
from 3 to 3V2 cents. Sheep, are also
scarce. Veal is a little more plentiful,
and there is a good supply of pork.
A lot of fine Neuse river shad Were
sold this week on the fish market. Gray
trout, red snapper and striped bass sold
well. Oysters also found ready sale.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
A Sure Cure for Chronic Catarrh
Wherever Located.
When catarrh reaches the middle ear
it produces deafness. This is a very
common affection, especially with men,
during or past middle age. Peruna
cures many such cases. In fact Pe-ru-na
cures catarrh wherever located. Mr.
A. T. Clayton, of Coder's Mill. Mo.,
writes: "I. write to let you know what
I think of your medicine. It is all right.
It has done just
what you recom
mended It to do. I
have taken it just as
nearly as I could
according to direc
tions and it has
cured me of deaf
ness entirely. I am
a man that works
very hard and in
any kind of weather;
therefore I praise
your medicine the more for curing my
leafness. I haven't taken any medicine
for about four weeks and 1 can hear
as good as I ever could. You can use
my testimony any way you please so
as to advertise your grand medicine,
and what it will do in cases of catarrh.
Pe-ru-na is the medicine for what it is
recommended."
Dr. Hartman has written a book enti
tled "Winter Catarrh," which treats of
chronic catarrh in its various stages.
It will be sent free by addressing The
