THE ASHEVILLE REGISTER Published Every Saturday. J. J. BRITT H. C. SHOOK, & S. M. HAMRICK, Editdrs? and Proprietors. SUBSCRIPTION : One Year.,: $100 Six Months 50 ALWAYS IN ADVANCE. . A cross mark on your paper in dicates that your subscription has 3xpired, and we politely request you to pay all arrearages and re new at once. We are much obliged to Weath er Observer Geddings for a fine rain last Tuesday. Only depression, doubt and un certainty can result from an effort to tinker the tariff. A's Bryan's Commoner grows older Nebraska's Republican ma jority groivs larger. Long may it live ! , ' The Blaine Reciprocity' contem plated free exchange bet ween those nations which .pru!uced. unlike products. . What is the matter with Missis sippi? Even the bears, haven't manners enough to come out and let the President shoot them. The counsel for the coal opera tors have found John Mitchell the witness as difficult to manage as their clients did President Mitch ell the head of the strikers.. Prosperity has been doing a lot of deviltry of late. Among other things it has iut two $2,500-man-tles in Mr. Bryan's new house be sides paying for his $400-heifer. Some of the Democratic editors say Dave Hill is (dead, others say lie's just playing ! 'possum, while just a few insist that he is a liver man any day than "old Cleveland." ' Republican onlookers are not generally well posted, more partic ularly the one who aired his inno cence of knowing current facts about wjrich he presumed to write in The Gazette last Tuesday. It is said Tom Johnson is much encouraged by the result of the election and will try it again along the same lines. Mr. Johnson is another one who hasn't sense enough to know "where he is at." There is another Richmond in the field, General Julian S. Carr announces his candidacy for the United States Senate to succeed Senator Plitchard. Carr, Craig, OvermanWatson ! Which shall itbe? . ' A few weeks ago Senator Teller declared thit he wanted to join the Democratic party in the most pub lic way. Dn the 4th day of this month the people of Colorado ex pressed their opinion of Mr. Teller in the most public way 1 Bryan has talked from ocean to ocean, and everywhere he has talked he has witnessed in the prosperity of the country the oyer mrow ot every aoctnne ne ever preached and the refutation of ev ery statement he made. The Knoxville Sentinel has started a voting contest to deter mine who is the most popular fire man and policeman in that city. It is needless to remark that Who ever uses the Democratic voting machine will win. That device lias its first failure to record here after. It would be too much to expect Joey Daniels to be as hilarious as Joe Caldwell is over the prospect of having Sheriff G. Cleveland as a candidate for a fourth term in the White House. Not just yet. But he could soon work himself up to it if it should appear expe dient to do so. What business have the railroads to be short of cats, any way ? When a corporation obligates itself to transact business for the public it is justly presumed that it will pre pare to carry out its obligations and not make its own shortcom ings a pretext to exact more than a just recompense from the people for its services. V-' , Col. Bryan is glad, the Demo crats were beaten in Ssome states and sorry they lost in others. For instance, where they endorsed the Kansas City platform and got licked he's sorry, and where the reorgahizers had their way and were snowed under he's as glad as a May morning. Reverse the or der and you have Mr, Cleveland and he is as glad as Bryan. A VEILED PURPOSE. The Democratic Ivan truuo. -.o clamors for the repeal of 11; v 1 '.rill to cripple the trusts veils h'n ival rmrnnsii. Tie knows the trusts fire f " I not the creatures of the tarifi', but j he wants to reach free trade through a false pretense. Just ten years no he persuaded the Ainfririin people that free trade was best for the country, but the results so belied his promise that he stands today too much discred ited to be believed, and he hopes to reach that end by indirection. The people are not fools, and they will hardly be deceived again. The trust evil is. separate and apart from the tariff and let it be so treated. WHICH 13 THE BETTER? Under the Dingley tariff law we have exports exceeding imports; labor in great demand; wages higher- than, ever before; public and private revenues large; the national wealth great beyond all precedent; the people contented and happy; and growing national independ ence. ; " ' Under the Wilson-Gorman tariff we had imports exceeding.exports; labor everywhere seekii.g employ -merit; wages lower than for many years; the public revenues too small to run the government in time of peace; private bankruptcy general; the people! depressed, rest less and discontenled: and growing national dependence. '.You- who clamor xr tariff re form, stop, ponder these truths and say whether we should not let well enough alone. STILL REPUBLICAN. In the recent election the coun ties of the Wesh the great white belt, went largely Republican in spite of ever effort of the opposi tion to c'urtail the vote. After the loss of the colored vote by disfran chisement, after sustaining heavy losses by non-payment of poll-rtax. after every possible pretext had been used to prevent Republicans from registering, yet, the returns show that the white people of these mountains are Republican in sen timent. Commencing with Stokes and going west along the moun tain belt, veering South to include Davie and Yadkin, and including the entire State west of the Blue Ridge, except Buncombe and Hay wood, the people are loyal to the principles of the grand old party in spite of all efforts of law and force to defeat their will.- '.' A FATAL SHOT FIRED BY ACCIDENT William Bearwood, ; a young Englishman, accidentally shot and instantly killed William McKee at dusk Sunday. The latter was nightwate:bman at the William Whittan 'textile plant "'on.,- the French Broad river fiv6 miles be low Asheville. McKee and Bearwood had been examining the former's revolver and after commenting on its merits the subject was dropped. McKee went to another department jot the building, returned in a few minutes to join,; his young friend, whom he had just left. The subject of re volvers again came up and McKee produced his weapon for the second time for examination. The weapon was a 38rcaliber hammer less, and of' tine construction. Bearwood was looking at the pis tol, which he hed, and accident ally pulled-the 'trigger. Immedi ately following the explosion, McKee fell with a bullet through his heart. Doctors Glenn and Sexier were summoned immedi ately but the watchman was dead when they arrived. - Bearwood says that he did not i know there were any cartridges in flo mcf nl r1i o ri lien tt-1i cm- Vn tai-iII ed the trigger. He says further - more that when he -first examined the weapon, before McKee left him, there was not a single load in the pistol. At the inquest held over the re mains at Brown Co.'s rooms Monday morning, Bearwood was held to" be blameless. McKee at one time conducted a vegetable stand in Central market. He had lived here some time. Luck In Thirteen. By sending 13 miles Win. Spirey. of Walton Furnace, Vt., got a box of Bucklen's Arnica Salve, that wholly cured a horrible Fever Sore on his leg.

MAJOR MOODY WILL CONTEST Statement to the Contrary an Ordinary, Feeble Lie. Waynesville, N. C, Nov. 18. The dispatch in this afternoon's Ashcville Citizen dated as coming from Rutherfordton stating that Congressman Moody had with drawn his contest is. absolutely false in ever7 particular; Neither Congressman Moody nor his friends here or elsewhere have ever dreamed of abandoning the contest since the first evidence of fraud in the recent election was made apparent. Major Moody be gan making investigation because he knew from indisputable author ity that he had been deprive i of many votes to which he was enti tled throughout the district, lie has taken hold of the matter in good faith, as Mr. Gudger and his friends will learn in due season. Major Moody gets stacks cf letters from all over the district stating that various frauds were perpe trated against him in the leeent election. - When the certificate of election is awarded at Raleigh a protest will be made against giving it to Mr. Gudger. When Major Moody was seen tonight. in reference to 'the Citi zen's statement he said : "It is untrue from beginning to end, and is sent out in the hope of deterring my friends from sending in reports of fraud committed in the late election. But the people are be ing heard from, and those that see it will all recognize Fred Merritt's special as an ordinary, feeble lie.'; Regulate the Trusts. Two diametrically opposite ef forts will he made during the next two months in discussing the trut legislation before congress and recommended by the . president. On one side it will be treated as djastio by those who wish to see the trusts crippled. On the other side it will be minimized by those who want the least possible done. Neither will be right. The problem is simple., 'Under trusts, . manu facturers have outgrown state lines. When banks outgrew state lines the national banking act was pass ed. When railroads outgrew state lines the interstate commerce act was passed! 'Today trusts need regulation in f the same way and for the same reason, j This regu lation is coming. It is not de structive. It is constructive. It is as much of a mistake for those opposed to trusts to think they are going to be prescribed as for those favoring trusts to give out inspired utterances that the legislation will be innocuous-Philadelphia Press. Much Damage In Guam. v ' Washington, Nov. 18. Com mander Season Schroeder, naval governor of Guam, has sent to the navy department a detailed report or the tlamap caused in that is land by the earthquake of Sep tember 22. The diskster occurred in the day time, as did the hurri cane of two years ago, and the casualties included but one child killed and a few of the townspeople of Agana hurt. There was con siderable loss of property, however, and funds are asked for to make the necessary immediate repairs. The total damage to buildings un der the control of the bureau of yards and docks will reachi $8,700. The marine corps lost $14,000 of its property. The public buildings of the islands suffered a loss of $22,100 gold. An allowance of $10,000, Commander Schroeder says, is imperative at once. The private loss in Agana alone is esti mated at $100,000 gold.', v Asleep AnirthFlames. ) Breaking int a blazing home, some firemen lately dracrsred the sleeping inmates from death.

CLARK'S ESTIMATE OF MR. CLEVELAND. It is hardly fair to be calling up what a man with a glib tongue says, and quoting it on him after he himself has forgotten all about it. Not so very long ago, Champ Clark, a Democatie congressman from the state of Missouri, who carries with him to Washington one of the loosest tongues that has" done duty in that city of tongues, made a speech on Grover Cleveland in which he said the greatest calamity, that had "ever befallen mankind since the fall of Adam was the election of Grover Cleve land for a second term. That was pretty strong language and that is the 'kind of language he is in the habit of using, but while he may have been pleased with it then, he would . probably prefer not to have himself remin ded of it now. It is so with men whose talking machinery is not well geared with their thinking apparatus. Of course at that time, a large majority of the people, who call themselves Democrats, hated Cleveland as the devil is said to hate holy water. The eloquent Champ Clark was talking to the galleries, his hair trigger mouth was in action, and he did not stop to think how there were persons present taking notes and that they would print them. ' .' The greatest trouble that men of the glib-tongued variety have to contend with is the wide-awake reporter and the printing press. In the days before the stenographic art was brought to its present state of perfection, public speakers could say about anything they chose, and if it became necessary could afterwards put in a denial, and charge that they had been misquoted; but now it is hard for a man to get away from what, he says if he says anything of - any consequence. Of course, Grover Cleveland will never again be selected as a standard bearer for his party. He has passed through the fires, and many Democrats have said things about him that they would like to have unsaid. They would like to know that their words have been forgotten. It may be that the words spoken about him by Champ Clark will rise up some time to plague the speaker; but it is only the sort of trouble that any fluent talker may fall into when he is least thinking about it. Knoxville Journal and Tribune. ' Arrives in Washington. Washington, Nov! 15. Theo dore Roosevelt, Jr., the President's oldest son, arrived in Washington this afternoon from Groton, Mass., where he is attending school. Mrs. Roosevelt received a telegram yes terday from the master of the Gro ton school informing her that it will be best for her son to take a rest of a week or ten days for the benefit of his eyes, which have been affected by the strain of study. Mrs. Rooosevelt was asked if she preferred to have him remain in Groton or come to Washington. and she directed that he come to Washington. He was not accom panied by physicians on the trip. One of the white house attaches met him at the train and drove him to the white feose. "J fln-; well," he said as heValked 'out ole the station. "It is only my that need rest." eyes With the adoption of the amend ment the disfranchisement of a majority of the colored race, and the attitude, taken by the minority who voted the Democratic ticket almost to a man in the recent election, it is self evident to the Democratic politicians that the cry of "white supremacy" can no longer be depended upon as an all powerful campaign slogan in this state. The aforesaid politicians have risen to the occasion, how ever, with an ingenuity worthyV of a better cause. From the lack of an issue the appeal fo prejudice is to be still continued. A case is to be made out vor manufactured against President Roosevelt show ing that in some mysterious way ne is about to. resurrect the color ed man as a political factor: Booker Washington is given the part of bogie man, and so the play is on a farce of the first water.

The men who wish, to have all public utilities and many important, private utilities taken over by the state will say the Presi dent does not go a hundredth part so far as he should go. The great majority of the people favor the modification of methods and sys tems which have become imperfect by reason of changed conditions but they do not approve of sweep ing social and economic revolutions They will agree with the views o the President. Like him, they prefer to move slowly and safely heeding neither the appeals o trust magnates to be let alone nor the appeals of theorists who would make the state everything and the individual nothing-Chicago Trib une.
