The improvement triad during ine

t indicate it. ...
The clearance of c won lauen siearu

arket. compared ltli ihwe.ul other
ties would seem toshow a very Iiv-

Iter. Ii2bt9. fire nppUamy, all give
Idenceof our being suiuciemly alive
ieep up with the time:.
Even the discussion now going on
lardin? the presentation of $150,000
the C. F. & Y. V. II. K. syndicate
u:d 5eeui to indicate that we are!
Ither dead nor ssleep. -Evident
lv the aloresaid syndicate is
the opinion that w have sumie Pluol
'-. a evidenced by .their application
this bjnus.
n the years of "auld langsj rm" Mr.
i:or. our city had a wide spread rep
ition lor criUrpriie and liberal ly.
ie W. & XV , W. C & A. and O. C.
Iroadi were all built, in large
asure, by the energy and liberality
public spirited citizens of W timing-
Her ropitati m was well earned, but
was not made by subscriptions raised
taxation, it wa by tun energy and
jerality ot her tuercbanls and busl-
ss men. woo contributed not only
eir time but their nieans.
The difference is plain.
Ihvi thc gentlemen advocating and
idinir the enterprise asking- rnunici-
al subscription came be lore the tax
payers with a list ol individual sub-
Jcrij-tions equal, doubje or treble the
amount which they asked from the city.
I They came forward "with a free un
encumbered enterprba, in which, show
in? their laith by their individual sub"
scriptions. they asked, what? t
Not that the city should Rive them
$150,000, but that it would rto thejn
m the enterprise, become their- associ
ate and partner in a joint operation
in which ,tboy would share alike and
w5r or lose together. .
How is it non?
A syndicate c dj posed ot hall a dozen
or more capitalists purchase a .partly
built road, not for public benefit but as
a pure and simple speculation, precise-
lyasyou or I, might bay a horse or
cow lo-day. for sale 'at a profit to
morrow. As soon as practicable, mortgage
bonds are issued and.when that is done,
to such an extent as to render tbe
stock valueless they come lorward and
ask our city to take $150 000 in stock at
par not for mutual benefit and profit
but to enhance value and profit to
them in final sale of the property,
which will be made as soon as they
can offer the same with a seaport outlet.
It wont do, Mr. Editor. The taxpayers
might be willing, as of old, to so in as
equal partners in a joint operation but
they arv not willing to subscribo $150,
000 adding to our present heavy liabil
ities merely to swell the profits of the
C. F. & Y. V. syndicate.
We may be a "dead town.11 but there
is still life enough to object to this
bonus. The C. F. & Y. V. K. It. may
be a benefit to Wilmington: I, for one.
have no doubt it will. Let us give the
Cape Fear & Yadkin Vallev a hearty
welcome, and the sjndicate everyi
acuity tor putting meir roau iu mar
ketable condition, viz : the nearest and
the best seaport as an outlet that is all
they need to realize a handsome profit
on their speculation bat let- as bus
band oar resources and. if need be, put
our $150,000 into soaie enterprise that
cannot be carried out without, one in
which we will have a pint interest,
and according to ouf subscription a
joint voice in its direction.
Then tbe 3-brick store man. who iy
the way. reminds me oTtbat historical
dog that didn't catch the rabbit, can go
on with his building, regardless of the
action of the Board of Aldermen.

An Important Matter.
In view of the fact that Congress has
appropriated $200.0C0 tor the erection
of a public building in this city, we
would inquire if any steps are being
taken to secure the necessary State leg
islation to enable the government to
purchase a suitable site for its location.
Legislation will be necessary in the
matter, but we have heard of no steps
having been take,n in that important
direction.

Several who have spoke to us about
our little article in Wednesday's issue,
wherein we hoped that the C C. R. B.
would soon be completed to Asheville
and stated how nice it would be to
make the trip in 14 hours, have de
murred as to tho time. They say that
the run can be made in 11 hours about
as easy as in 14 and they may be right.
They say they would have no objection
to boarding the train at the C. C. depot
here at 9 o'clock of a Summer's morn
ing and turn out at Asheville at 8 tbe
next morning. But all this is specula
tioo. The connection has not yet been
made, nor do wo know that it will be

"Fun on the Brtstol."
Fuu on the Bristol" was transferred
last night to the Opera House here,
where lor more than hours there was
the most hilarious merriment. The
house was'crowded almost to its utmost
capacity, and all were on the lip-toe of
expectation for a plenty to laugh at;
and they wero not disappointed. From
the rising of the curtain, in the opening
scene of the first act, to its going down
on the final tableau, the house resound
cd with almost continuous peals of rtp-
roarious laughter. The actors wore ad
mirably fitted for the characters they
impersonated. Miss Arnjt, as the rich,
but ignorant, Irish widow, was superb
in act and dialect, and tbe-Jronors of the
occasion were about evenly divide 1 be
tween her and Mr. R. F. Baker,' whose
negro impersonation was faultless. Tbe
other characters were well sustained,
and the singing, especially the quar
tette, was good. The opening piece by
the orchestra, from the Poet and Peas
ant," although it lacked tuu finished
effect of a full orchestral arrangement,
was a much belter quality of music
than had been previously presented.
To-night "Leah, the Forsaken," will
be the attraction, and Miss Arnot wili
assume the title role, in which she is
said to excel. If this be so, then she
must possess an almost unequaled ver
saiility of lajenl, fqr there could hardly
be two more strongly contrasted chars
acters than the "Widow O'Brien," j
vhich the assumed last night, and
'Leah, tbe Forsaken," which she will
assume lo-nighl. To-morrow after
noon Ihe Little Detective." in which
the star will assume five distinct char1
acters, will be given, and the engage
ment will close to-morrow night with
The Two Orphans."
