SUNDAY MfOBNTNG, DEC. 5, 1897, Much may be expected of the wintter sea son in Asheville,. when McKissick begins by painting his 'hotel red. The degeneracy of the "low down" ne groes was demonstrated in Augusta when at last week's election they sold on open market for $5 a head.. -Duringi slave days the price was something more Ifcban this. The Georgia legislature has passed a bill, that Is in line with modern progress, to make the Judges and solicitors elected by the people. The tourist who comes to Florida this winter without 'his wheel will regret it un til he gets one.remarks the FloaMa.Tdmes Union. Sorry the caution won't apply to Asheville. , In summer we have good roads "for 'bicycling, for healthy people, who can climb grades, but in winter the riding must be confined within: the corporate limits until our roads are macadamized! One .off (Max iNordeau's suggestions is (that the Jews, instead of migrating to Palestine, settle in America; If Nordeau load ever seen - Broadway, ' New Yorkie' would know that his suggestion Is out of Giate. The Jews have settled, in New York and driven out everything else' but one or two newspapers, a part of the "400" and the Irish board of aldermen. - '"The Augusta election : was a burning disgrace. Votes were openly boughtt on the market,'' and money, not niorals, ruled the day. iNow let the leaders be prosecuted , for offering bribes and the voters for ac cepting them." Sumter Freeman. But you dan't indict a community.:1 Nor can you -pursuude acfty to put itself in jail. Columbia State. The ct was that what was formerly done , under cover was done openly. Such reports as the. following from the Augus ta ' Herald, give' am average . citizen the shivers, though the average citizen knows that bribery has been a regular feature of every election: ', R. E.

IX Its results bo far have proved the itlmelinesa. and dwisdom of tixe - measure, - if It goes on producing an in creasing deficit in revenues,. how long will t it be before Its full- effect beVealfzed? Bradstreet's in. its Jast Saturday.'s .issue reviews the result of the 'Dingley: bill elntee' its jasage. The receipts from cus toms,- during the five months, ; amounted , to $5i,16,'232, whi'tih represents a 'decrease of i ove $5,800,000 'as . compared" with the rrpsmmidlne weriod of last year. So this "revenue bill" is a revenue ki'lier, as com-' pared witBi the law it replaced.; The re .ceiEb'i fronx cusfcoones in,1iNovember were a little less than those from, the same source lasCyear, while the "receipts f mm initernal revenue showed an increase, "rtie expen diitures for November amounted to $37,-- 810,839, which represents an. increase of a litttle over $440,000 as compared with the preceding jnonth, and over- $4600,000 a compared with the correspondiing month of iast yeafT -; Peaision 'payanents for ; the1 month showed an Increase .of about $500, 000 as compared with "November, 1896. -This is republican government with a-ven- geance. So far i the Dingley : bill has proven 'a failure,'' Brads'treeits cohcljudes from thesW figures,, "as a means of doiijg away with the deficit for some time, ex isting in the govemmenlt accounts, for less is coll'ected from customs now than last year. It would have been well for the ad ministration Jf its friends ihad" "taken the advice of those who urged a simple inr crease of ra'tes under the then existing tariff law and the' passage of some meas ure of curTeoucy -reform instead of a re opening of the tariff question. We respectfully suggest- to the Asheville board of aidermen that they could save themselves from much criticism and . the burden of responsibility and demands for explanations if they would oonf arm to the rule" tha.t prevails in most 'legislative bod- sa in the- passage of. laws or "ordinal-: ces." All acts' of legislation should go. through a process that permits examination careful consideration and an opportunity for -the people .they effect to express them selves before their final enaction, The present board has erred in tMs irespeot re peatedly, and the lessons of these errors should have precluded their continued rep etition. " One night, without warning to the town.the board sprang an"ordihance"turn- ing the city time back an hour. Later they rescinded this action. At another meeting they voted an "ordinance" that no license should be granted for the sale of liquor in tAsheville. This they subse quently repudiated and licensed the usual number of saloons. Last Friday they passed an "ordinance" that the liquor ea-: loons should be closed at ten o'clock ex cept on Saturdays, when the hour should be 10:30. This action having been' taken and recorded as a law of the city of Ashe ville, there is a howl for its repeal. We k not consider it necessary to discuss here the justice or injustice of this ordi nance, or whether it is legal or not The point we wish tomake is that ho "ordi nance" should be passed at the same meet ing at which ft is introduced. "Mr. Mayor, 1 move that 'the name df the city of Ashe ville .be changed to Brioftjown and that on and after tomorrow all business in this cfty shall be .transadtiedi in the night 'time." Seconded, carried. Next me1 ting: Reconsidered, busted. 'An ordinace should be read, referred to. a committee, the peo ple should be allowed to express their views and the bill "leflt over ' to a future meeting for passage. We give the honor able aldermen credit for acfting as they considered right in ' their votes on the "ordinace" we have mentioned, but they voted on the motions with but a few min utes' consideration, and such hurried mak ing of laws 'is sure to bring upon $nem criticism. , . TOPICS Otf TODAY. The Rev. T. H. Leavitt, a North Caro lina evangelist, who1 is conducting a re vival in Richmond, saw two young women smiling during service.

A few days since Peter Price of 'Greens boro, and Joe Vaughn bartered on a piece of land at Madison, which they owned jn co-partnership.

A day or two later, while having an old cab in removed, . rich r find was made. An old half -gallon pot was found containing five thousand dollars in gold.
