Afttrr a month of war tiilk, war planning ami planning to avoid war, h- went to church Sunday only to hear his minister deliver a war sermon! Those who are anxious for war there are a few such perhaps will be inter ested In l-arning that " a buzz saw for th" amputation of limbs" has been in vented. An electric motor will furnish the owcr to run the saw, "which will be mounted on a flexible shaft like that which a dentist uses, only larger. The bearings in which runs the saw arbor are attached to a handle by which the Burgeon is able to direct the saw at any angle." Further interesting details are to the effect that "not only does the eaw cut much faster than a hand tool, but the heat of its rapid tutting sears the llesh and blood Vessels, and the pro leases of nature are advanced to a stage which by the old method is reach ed only after an hour or two." It is evident from this and other promised novelties that a modern clash at arm will be like a buzz saw all the way through from the time the first gun is fired until the last leg is run against tiie surgeon's whirling exponent of what lieu. Sherman termed war. A Surpris. The view that the Tuckaseige Dem ocrat takes of the Kwart investigation is a surprise. It speuks of "mere sprigs of the law" being driven into the tight on Kwart as though the age of the objectors to ilw art's confirmation was a vital point; while it confesses that "as to what they have sworn up to this time we ure not informed." If not in formed, how la the Democrat in posi tion to condemn so freely? The fact that Kwart is too decent for his party ir it is a fact and that the editor of the iM-iiiocrat knows nothing but good of him, cannot change the duty of those, be they "sprigs" or ancient "limbs" of the law, who believe he is unfitted for the high position to which he has been nominated. Relieving that, they are serving their day and generation with courage, and they are answering an ob vious demand and necessity tiial the belli h be kept ab.je reproach. Neilhei the duty which r'ratik Cartel nor that which fled Moore has pel formed, in connection with this in csiiilion has been a pleasant one, but it couid not be avoided on the ground that the editor of the Democrat knew Kwart 113 years ago and because he approves of him now. . 'Sat The editor of the Democrat should re member that Kwart cannot be hurt by this investigation except by his rec ord, and then only unless it is such as makes his aspiring to succeed Judge ,Dick a thing to be defeated on the grounds of luck of fitness. All the cir cUMislaiuts of the nomination of Kwart and the composition ot the ssub-coin-mitlee ate in his favor, lie id backed by the 1 'resident of the I'niled rilales; his politual friends are a majority of the committee; he is be tot e them as an innocent man until the contrary is proved, in the presence of; one of the best lawyers and shai pest questioners in the Jseiiale, winie confirmation is lired by Senator 1 lilchard, anothet Kepublu an. U Kwart is the -man lot the place then he will be confirmed, and if he is not, surely neither ll.e editor of the Democrat nor any other good citi zen desires his ontii matioiu The Situation. (me iiioiuh ago tonight the battleship Maine was blown up in the Spanish ha 1 bo i- at Havana at an anchorage se lecled by the Spanish harbor-master. S.nce then, to jueige by the contents of the1 newspapers and the leading topic of conversation in all circles of social and business life', vve have been trars foiuieel, in the IwTiikiing of an eye, into a nation of war father than of peace'. There has been placed to the order : Hie chief magistrate of the government the- enormous sum of t.Vi.wo.tKn.t to be expvndeel in defense ef the country as may seem to him best. I'robably with the purchase of the two Brazilian war ships at least one-third e)t that amount is already expended. On the part of the War Department we know that a large part of the stand ing army, infantry and cavalry, is eith er on the way, ir ordered to be so soon, to the Atlantic coast, with Atlanta as a center, the eidctit purpose being to guard the fortifications at the coast ci ties and to be ready to get an army of pethapu oO.ikk) men into Cuba on short notice if that should be necessary. This last operation would call out a large number of the militia of the Atlanta states. Great quantities of munitions of war are being contracted fer anel shipped to different points on or near the coast. On the part of the Navy Department activity is no less the characteristic. Kvery available vessel that can be used for open-sea work or as a means of harbor defence' is being made ready; and the monitors floating batteries are, one by one, taking their places at supposedly strategic points. It is believed that our Atlantic coast Is already In a fairly well fortified con dition from Maine to Florida. Islands anel capes that command the entrances to the large cities, and channels In which warships might He and throw shells, effecting untold destruction and distress, are believed to present obsta cles sufficient to deter an enemy In w hatever naval force he might come. Our own navy Is in a first-class con dition and able to prevent any fleet that Spain might send from reaching our coast. We have of all kinds some ? vessels, of which 52 or 53 are .now in service. In one or two classes we ar weaker than Spain, but it is likely that before the end of the present week that weakness will be overcome by the pur. chase ot vessels abroad of the kind f needed. Besides the regular navy there is the auxiliary fleet of some 24 vessels, mainly if not w holly commerce : des troyers, able to run away from any w orship afloat and sufficiently jkrmed to overcome any Spanish merchantman. The most notable of these are the New York, i'aris, St- Louis and St. Paul, and in all this fleet carries 351 guns of all classes, or will if called into use. Of course' part of the navy is in foreign waters and not all of that part will be called home, though two vessels of minor importance are already on the way to join one of the home squad runs. Such, in rough outline, is the change in one month. At present intense inter est centers in the board of inquiry, still inquiring at Havana. It is not to be iiurried, but we may have the report any day. It will probably be made pub lic when sent to Congress with a mes sage by the President. Whatever its linding the public will accept it as final, and it is not likely that Congress or the people will consent to any arbitration that Ahall provide for going back of, a fid thereby discrediting, the reiort of ihat board. Indeed, work on the wreck in obtaining the material for ihis report has probably made im l.sibie a repetition of the thoroughness of the board's investiga tion. We might arbitrate as to the amount of the indemnity, provided .Spain was not as a government con I'tfincd in the explosion of the Maine, out not as a means of compromise be tween the report of its own board and ours. If our board finds that the ex plosion was external Spain must pay for the damage inflicted and for the .ives sacrificed. SPANISH CRUELTY.

Governor dough f Minnesota has of late been bombarded -with letters from people anxious to fight Spain. Most of the missives have been so silly in tone that the governor said to a friend: "Do you know that if I had known how many fools there were in this State I never would have consented to run for the governorship." "Private" John Allen of Mississippi is such a genial fellow that surprise is often expressed at his, being a total ab stainer. Mr. Allen gives this charac teristic reason why he never touches li quor: "Of course, if I drank any at all I fhould have to indulge while stump ing my district. Now. you just think what would happen to me If. while on a stumping tour. I should take a few drinks and then attempt to say: "Fel low citizens of Itawamba, or Octibba or Tishomingo county. My finish can be easily imagined." , THE TATTLER. Once upon a time you'll notice that all good fireside stories begin that way there was an editor whose unbounded intellect and monumental wisdom caused him to write editorials that went sizzling down the corridors of time, drawing as they went the atten tion of the peoples of the earth to their wonderful clearness and their. absolute justness. One day his leader had for its subject, "The Weather History of Our Country for the Past Century," and before the ink on the paper was cold he received a visit from the Old est Inhabitant, who felt compelled to say that it was the only really correct article of the nature that had ever been printed. Another day he launched into a two-column exposition of "The Sa loon and the Prohibitionist." Within an hour his office was besieged by total abstinence people, saloon keepers and drinkers, who fell over each othex as they scrambled for an opportunity to tell him that he was the only man on earth who had ever treated the sub ject so forcibly and solved the whiskey question. Then he wrote a double ieaded bit on "What to Do With Our Candidates." and the police had to keep the crowd in line, so great was the erush on the nart of I en nwr-i r anil iienublieans. dfetfd ua well na oe- cessful candidates, to tell him that he was wise beyond his day and genera tion. He wrote of "The Way We Must .Stand Together for Any Improvement,'' and millionaires and men who lend money at 12 to 40 per cent, (who will eventually be millionaires) came In a steady stream to give him a congrat ulatory shake. One day he wrote a ringing article on "Convicts, Roads and Barns," and it was endorsed by the County Commissioners and every voter in the county. And then did the peo ple believe that the millennium had come. But one day this wise man dar-id te undertake to give "Three Keisons Why Blank Should Not be Nominated." Within two days he had been cussed out by a dozen men and had losi one whole subscriber. Then it was that he penned that thrilling threnody entitled "A Victim of the Hooly Goolies," and gave up his place and took a position as feeder in a sausage factory. It sometimes happens that a justice of the ieace is a just is of the p. ace. At last the people have an opportu nity to see what the Vance monument looks like, and it is likely that the large majority of people will agree that it is a handsome granite pile. The old square, too, once more has something of a natural look and this is a re minder that if we are to keep the square in anything like decent condi tion the fence should be put back. One year's trial showed conclusively that the no fence law is no good w hen applied to the square. The Kest Easies stand on the corners and whet off the grass, the Hurry lps cut across corners in order to get there a minute earlier, and the Jehus make a cot of the greensw ard as they wait for patrons of the Square Palace livery stables. Already some have picked the monument steps for a resting place, and it has become very evident that not only will it be nec essary to fence the square, but that tiiere must be a railing about the mon ument's base. Referring to the theft by two negroes of a pair of breeches from H. Redwood & Co., and the subsequent exhaust ing chase and capture, it might be said that the? negroes had the trousers and the pursuers had the pants. Something unusual happened on the square the other day. A couple of young women out for a drive steered their horse across the sidewalk and through court square directly in front f the court house. The' old clock al most stopped at the sight. At the Montford school entertain ir.ent recently we saw a relic of the Mound Builders. We have a relic of the road builders a short distance west of town. Hold your breath about a minute and you'll hear a something drop With a tiiud that's dull and sick'ning the'n vill all this war talk stop. Spain will look about for something she can make into a shield. When the woolly Woolsey Wildcats get the word to take the field. Johnny Bull will come a-running to as sure us of his "syra." And the Kaiser will advise us to expect the same of him. Spain's will be a bad dilemma, and the Dons will have to yield. When- the woolly Woolsey Wildcats get the w ord to take the field. It is doubtful if The Citizen has ver printed a prettier or more continu ously interesting story than "When Men Were Scarce," by Jeannette II Walworth, the last chapter of which was printed last week. It impressed one with its fidelity to nature, and some of Lhe characters were refreshing at every staire of the development of the plot. THE TATTLER. EWART TOO DECENI. That is the Opinion of E. R. Hampton, a Good Democrat. From the Tuckaseige Democrat. The fight upon Ewart by Butler and his crowd is a monstrous piece of polit ical infamy. Why some Democrats like Frank Carter and Fred Moore, mere sprigs of the law. have been driven into it. except for mere personal reasons, we are unable to comprehend. A.s to what they have sworn, up to this time, we are not informed. Lusk has acted with good judgment in refusing to be a witness in the case. As for Bill Deav er, everybody knows him and what he will elo where personal reasons are in volved. His malice to Judge Ewart is tto well known. As between Butler and Ewart we are positively for the Judge. Twenty-five years ago while we were clerk of the Cnited States courts at Asheville, Judge Ewart was register in bank ruptcy and in our official business re lations we never met a more thorough gentleman. We are opposed to Judge Ewart in politics, but he is, as a man, as we have always understood and be lieve, above reproach an educated gen tleman, fit to be treated as such and in every sense of the word a man whose honor and Integrity stands far above that of Marion Butler. We hope the Senate may confirm his nomination and very soon, too. The real fight, in our Judgment, is because Ewart is inclined to be a little too de cent for his party. Uncle Sam's NewSuit- From the Washington Times, The fashion plates are blooming now Wher'er our eyes are turning: Designs that clothe the form with grace Or fill the heart with yearning.

BILTHORE FORCING HOUSES A SPOT OF SPECIAL INTEREST FOR VISITORS. There Art Now 35.000 Cabbaga Plants and 8,000 Cauliflower Plants Ready for Outsid Culture. The Asheville visitor whose opportun ities for pleasant outings include the Biltmore drive will find a spot of spe cial interest just now in the forcing houses of the market garden, where scenes of perennial summer have been made possible by Gardener GeorgeS. Arthur's skillful management of the immense areas of vegetation under glass. In the main show house the attraction is of the surpassing beauty of the rich reds and velvety emerald of more than a thousand dwarf Champion tomato plants and their fruitage. One room devoted to the tomatoes has been par tially relieved of what has been a phe nomenal crop, but there still remain many clusters in vtwying shades of rip ening. A second apartment is in full stand of similar plants, a second crop, finely hung with tomatoes, just begin ning to set. On side benches through out both houses there are plants of inuskmelon and egg plant ready to go in the soil as the tomatoes come oft. Cucumber vines, laden with "cukes" in all stages of grow th, trail closely along the outer setting of brickwork and curl gracefully along the wire supports beneath the glass. The space on the oenches between the cucumbers and the walks is filled with the bright green of string beans, the vines having bush els of the crispy snaps in readiness for the pickers. Beneath the central stands bearing the tomatoes there is an immense stor age of rhubarb from which the garden ers obtain many pounds of stalks for each day's demands. The rhubarb roots here are from the stock set out in the first trucking operations on the estate, seven years ago. Nestling among the forms of plant life a colony of Italian bees stands hived for the purpose of pollenizing the cucumbers. A rare sight is revealed in the new house, completed in December last, where the show is of lettuce. The long stretch of benches in the center of the house run 12 feet by 150 and present an unbroken mass of the crispy salad of the Boston Market variety, beautifully heading, with not an inch of soil visible between the closely crowding crowns. The side benches bear huge drifts of the crimpled variety known as Grand Rapids. The fourth crop of lettuce is now being cut. Other houses in the group are filled with- fine tands of tender growth that include. radishes, varieties of water cress dn .experimental use, onions for transplanting, peppers, celery, cabbage and cauliflower. For outside culture there are now ready 35,000 cabbage plants and 8000 of cauliflower. The demands of the Asheville market upon the Biltmore gardens have stead ily increased under Mr. Arthur's care and more commodious capacity '.has been started in orders for two outside forcing frames, each to be 16 feet by 190 "in dimensions, that will be needed for immediate uses. The spring work of the market gar den in the open has been greatly ad vanced by the favoring weather and extensive plantings have been made of peas, beets, spinach and potatoes. ?A DOUBLE KILLING- Constable Green, of Henrietta, and a Negro Shoot Each Other ELLEIf BORO, March 13. About two miles from Henrietta mills, early this morning, Mr. John Green, township constable, attempted to arrest a negro named Blake, who had run away from South Carolina for wife beating, and for which crime Constable Green held a warrant. As soon as the negro heard of the officer's business he opened fire with a pistol. The constable fell to his knees, mortally wounded, but drew his pistol, firing three shots at the negro, all of which took effect, one ball pierc ing his heart, killing him instantly. Mr. Green lived about an hour after being shot. He was about 45 years old and was a brave and efficient officer. He leaves a wife and several children. Blakely was a dangerons character. About five years ago he was in jail here, charged with horse stealing, but broke jail, and had not been recaptur- ' r? It cOAnia t Vi '1 i Via i j i haan rr j spree for some time, and boasted that t he had set apart tomorrow as the date on wntcn ne was going to Kin nis wire, ;.nd then he was going to hunt up the jailer who was in charge of the jail when he was under arrest here, Mr. T. J. Hampton, a highly respected citizen of this county, and he was going to kill him. Charlotte Observer. DON'T TRUST CONGRESS? Mc Kin ley Wants to Give an Example ofOne Man Rule. From a Washington telegram. How to make known to Congress and to the American people the findings of the court of inquiry is the question that is causing the deepest solicitude, for the President realizes how much de pends upon the temper with which the people may receive the verdict. It is possible-, that the President will not send the report to Congress, as he de sires, above all things, to retain control of all phases of the controversy with Spain. It is largely for this reason that he has not sent to Congress the reports from the consular agents in Cuba call ed for by the resolution of the Senate and House. It was the intention of the President to send these documents as soon as they could be prepared. This determination has been changed, how ever, and it is now officially admitted that the correspondence will not go to Congress until the report of the board of inquiry is made public, and perhaps not for some time thereafter.

Greensboro Record: A gentleman approaching 70 said Sunday that he could not recall a year this far in March when a number of peach, apple and cherry trees were not in bloom. This year there are apricots bloom ing, but he says he has not noticed any of the other varieties. He is inclined to think that it is a good omen that this will be a good fruit year. Salisbury Sun: The Salisbury ho siery mill will soon begin working a night force in the spinnig department. This extra work i"s caused by a contin ued heavy demand for the products of the mill. J. J.

Dr. J. H. Wolff regards her burns as quite serious. Baltimore Sun: Fifty-five sail of vessels, loaded with cargoes of lumber, grain, wood, logs and railroad ties, ar rived in port since Saturday morning. They came from ports in the Chesa peake bay, sounds of North Carolina and many from remote vaterwrays where only vessels of light tonnage can reach. Fully 300 men are engaged in the manning of this fleet, among whom are some of the most expert sailors on the coast. The value of .the cargoes will reach into the thousands. A BOY'S WARSHIP.

THE LANDIS This is an entirely new machine for making harness, saddles, bridles, etc. The machine has not been out more than a year, and its work is if anything better than, hand work. It stitches with a wax thread, waxed by the needle as it passes through the leather. As the tension is very strong, the thread ia tightly drawn and waxed, preventing water or sweat from horses from rott ing the threads. We invite all who are interested in good wearing harness to come in and see the work and the ma chine. . A Discount of 15 Per Cent. Now offered on all work we have on hand made by the loop machine. This is a splendid opportunity to get a good set of harness at a very low price. J. M. Alexander, Cor. Patton avenue and Court Square.
