THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1892. WEEKLY CITIZEN. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY BY THE RANDOLPH-KERR PRINTING COMPANY TERM81 One Year, ..... i.oo lx M ontbM, .... 50 THURSDAY, JANUARY 7. 1892. Christina In the South. The Chattanooga Times says "the chief reason that Christmas has never been as popular a holiday in the north as it has been and still is in the south is owing to Puritan influence." This is true to large extent; but not for the rea son given, which is, that it was not the birthday anniversary of the Saviour. That the precise natal day is not ob served is unquestionally true, because no records are preserved to fix an exact date. But as such an august event did happen, the sentiment of pious reverence acting upon the hearts of those inspired bv its momentous significance naturally demanded the observance of some fixed memorial day. The 2oth of December was fixed upon as in happy consonance with human thoughts and customs, the period of the winter solstice, the period at which the dormant forms of nature make sign of waking again to life, turn ing upward again after the sun had traversed in its downward path to the lowest point of decadence. It was also the period of theyear in which the north ern nations of Europe had given them selves up to the celebration of the most joyous ot their heathen festivities. It was an easy and a natural transition to them to substitute for their accustomed pagan observances the purer and more rational methods which marked the be ginning of the practice of a new and loftier faith. The English speaking people had ob served Christmas with peculiar joyous ness until the advent of puritanism which at once set its rigid and sour (ace against all manifestation of human cheerfulness. Puritanism ignored Christmas as it did all other recognized church festivals. It affected to see in them the perpetuation of pagan license, when, in reality, it only saw the wickedness of throwing the rays ot cheerfulness upon the gloomy auster ity which it had prescribed as the rule ot human conduct. It proscribed the ob servance of the merry Christmas holiday upon the same churlish principle that it proscribed bear baiting, not because it was cruelty'to the bear, but that it was pleasure to the spectators. Christmas festivity was not sin against God or offence against morals so much as re buke to sour asceticism by the presen tation of human life in some of its bright ness and joyousness. But puritanism has passed away, What was once unamiable principle has become modified into indifferent custom The northern people acquiesce, rather than participate in, the hilarities of Christmas. The southern people, largely the descendants of those who sided with the royalists, the antagonists of the pur itans, and the dear lovers of fun and frolic, and also faithful cherishers of all those traditions and customs which so endear Christmas to sentiment as well as to festivitv, adhere to their old ideas of the character of the period with al most exaggerated tenacity. Christmas at the south is still eagerly welcomed and universally observed, bv some in its true character as a Christian festival, by all as a time for the display of the kindly, cordial feeling which unites the human family for once in the year in close un selfish sympathy, by many as a period of license and intemperance, and by far too many as the justification for the per petration of all kinds ol noises, hideous, barbarous, irrational. In the reckless din of fire arms, in the deafening explosion of fire works, in the senseless bray of horns, and in the maudlin abuses or dangerous excesses in the uses of intoxicating liquors, civi lization is shamed. Christianity is in tuited by the spectacle presented in too many places in the south at that period when the birth of Him who brought with Him into the world an era not only of peace end of good will but of right and rational conception of human conduct and human destiny, Heathendommight exnlt at the contrast even its excesses might present to the mad orgies or tense less pleasures of enlightened (?) Chris- tiant which mark the celebration of the v. u .u uvj nuVb lu wciwumc and worthip at a God, and whose ser vice they teek to impose upon all the un- , oeiieving world. i.

It was at once found that Sly had been in St. Louis recently, and a little later the police of St. Louis found in the sub urbs a bouse that had been deserted in such haste immediately after the robbery that not even the personal property of the inmates had been removed. The description of one of these inmates was a description of Sly, and it at once became the business of the detectives to find out that the party had gone west. It was ascertained that at Omaha the lour men and the one woman had parted com pany, Sly going on to Denver and thence to southern California. Several of the cities and towns there were visited, but nothing was seen1 of Sly until last Satur day when a man very closelv resembling him stepped into the postotfice at Los Angeles. Pinkerton at once arrested him, and on his person was found the express messenger's gold watch and two thousand dollars in money. Sly said his name was A. S. Denton which was in it self a foolish admission of his identity, his middle name being Denton. The detectives feel confident that the other members of the gang of robbers will be arrested in a few days. Thechain of evidence is that Sly and his gang rented the deserted house, in which was found, Rafter their hasty departure, some hall' destroyed express packages that will be identified as having been taken last November at the time of the robbery. The watch in Slys possession will go far toward convicting him, and doubtless other evidence will be obtained in the arrest of the other robbers. It was a long, hard chase from the very slight clews, and the detectives are entitled to no small praise for their work. Slv has been in the Missouri enitentiary before, and his last arrest probably means a sentence of twenty years. Rents and Houhch. It is frequently the comment of stran gers coming to Ashcville from different parts of the country that house rents realize that they were gaining infinitely more than the cost, that of their main tenance. Thb Citizen proposes to agitate this question, and endeavor to make it a distinct issue in the election of the next members of our state legislature, and see if is not possible to inaugurate a system whereby North Carolina may eventually hope to have uulilic roads that will be the pride of the state and the greatest blessing that ever came to the farmer. And it is hoped that the press will lend their aid. To the press will be attributed this blessing if it ever comes, and to the press we look for the agitation of this question, which may mean more, and will mean more, in the long run. if prop erly undertaken and systematically pros ecuted, t ban any measure which has en gaged the attention of our legislators during the past quarter of a century. Our Government of Cltleit. "The foreign countries, I found, beat us in governing cities. The jobbery and corruption which too often scandalize the government of our cities are un known there." The moral of Senator Vance's remark is that we ought to turn over a new leaf at once and take the government of our cities out of the hands ot the politicians. The affairs of many of our cities, if not most of them, are managed in a way that would not be tolerated in a first-rate gtist mill. They are managed in that way too bv men who conduct their own business on business principles only, and who get the best talent they can regard less of whether it votes one ticket or another or none at all. When these same men come to run the delicate affairs of a municipality, however, they forget those same business principles and the people suffer. Berlin is one of the best examples of a well governed city, notwithstanding that it is part ot oneof those"effete mon archies" we love to point the finger of scorn at. That city secures the very best business talent to be had. and a him. He was thought to be one of the most promising legislators while on the floor of the house. The Citizen has lots of faith in him vet. In Bad Company. The Cliurleston News and Courier prints three columns of criticisms of Speaker Crisp's appointments of the bouse committees. Of those three col umns, nine out of the nineteen papers quoted to sustain the News and Courier's attack on Crisp are democratic papers; the remainder are out-and-out republic an or mugwump or "independent." Of all these criticisms there is but one that is entitled, from the tone and sub stance of the comment, to consideration, and that is from the New York Post. It sa vs: 'It is with unfeigned regret that we make this comment upon what we con sider a fundamental mistake that of or ganizing the house upon other than the lines of de facto party leadership. . . . If the democrats in congress fancy that they can throw away every Atlantic state from Maine to Virginia and yet elect a president next year the course is free and open. We ad'vise them not to try that experiment. They cannot find bv the most diligent search one northern state that has ever been carried on the free coinage issue when that issue was felt to be a decisive one, so that voters should really take it into their calcula tions when going to the polls. Now, it the south wants to force that issue upon the north, she will get in the end what Mr. Mills predicted a few weeks ago. She will lose free coinage and tariff reform, and she will get a force bill and as near an approach to negro supremacy as the energiesof the federal government, sharp ened by experience, can devise for her." This will bear thinking over, but most of the comment the News and Courier reprints is on this order, from Louis Globe-Democrat, NOT FOR FKEE COINAGE. THE TATTLER. Senator Hill la Mot Far from Cro- ver Cleveland. i From His Speech at Albany. "Shall the people's verdict of the bill inn rnmrrpBS hflvp fVfriltinn nr nnt ? Shall the democratic party, by keeping before the people the billion congress issue of 1890, keep ior the people the power to add to their verdict of 1890 its execution in 1892 ? "How can that best be done ? At El- mira I suggested this course: Pass no free coinage bills; pass only needful ap propriation bills, enforcing economy; grapple to undo the worst work of the billion congres; demand a repeal of the Sherman silver law and the two Mc Kinley laws. No small issues, no un timely issues, no new iusues, no other issues. Grapple to uudo the work of the billion congress. Put the country and its silver laws and its tariff laws back where they stood before our purty's mis adventure in 1888, and before the infa mous republican revolution." are high here, and the same comment is i citizen is not allowed to plead that he occasionally heard from residents whom I hasn't time to devote to the citv's affairs; travel has given the opportunity for making comparison. Persons who have lived in other cities, some of them with every advantage of the best ot schools, paved streets, good sidewalks, a great variety of entertainments, and the like, find to their surprise that in Asheville, with few of the attractions enu merated, rents are as high as in all ex cept the very largest cities. With build ing material and labor as cheap as they are here the prices asked for houses often seen exhorbitant But it should be remembered that the situation here is somewhat different from the situation in many cities, where the rule is that bouses are seldom rented for less than a year, while leases are often ranen ior several years, thus assuring the owner a steady income on bis prop erty. Here in Asheville, we should say, the rule is rather the other way, long leases beingjthe exception, and incomes from rented houses less steady and there fore less profitable. The complaint, if it is well founded, is one that should cure itself. Ii rents, all things considered, are higher here than else where capital will in time flow in and lower them. So long, however, as houses rent freely for the prices asked, just so long will those prices remain at the pres ent figures. It is a question of supply and demand. In some classes of houses Asheville is plainly deficient. One of these is the block of several residences under one roof with all the modern improvements. Such would be very attractive to those from other cities who may stay but a short time, but who prefer not to go to a hotel. Another, is the house of three or four rooms, well finished and in a good locality and of comparitively low rent Our houses of this kind are now mainly built too cheap and ia localities not at tractive to visitors.

From the first view of the case the robbers left very little In the way of it clew on which to follow them np. But on general Drindolefl. and because of the lack of anything more promising, the whereabout! of one Al bert Denton Sly, a noted train robber, Public Koade and Convict The action of the last legislature of North Carolina in enacting a law whereby certain classes of violators of the law may be put to work upon the public highwaya of the counties in which their offenset were committed, it one step in the right direction. There is no way in which the convict! of North Carolina' could be utilized with greater benefit to all the people than by putting every man of them to work upon the public roads. In this way they will in no tense come into competition with honett labor, a complaint often heard of late years, and with much reason and justice because it cannot be done without degrading the largest and most deterr ing portion of our citizenship. There ia not an honett laborer in North Carolina but detettt the working of roada, and it ia no more than the truth to tay that nine out of ten who do work the roada do to under protest, and therefore never do and never will do full and fair work. Andthia question of public roadt it really the most vital with which the American agriculturalist hat to deal to day. It baa been demonstrated by those making a atndy of the question, that the farmera of the United Statet loae more money every year by reason of bad roada, than they pay out in the way ot taxet for all purpotea. i i : With the convict force of the itate kept constantly at work year by year upon the public highways, upon a fixed plan and in a systematic way. North Carolina farmer i in a few years would he must attend to them; and, as a mat ter of fact, he does attend to them, with a devotion and an amount of intelli gence such as we almost never see in an American citv. In these well governed foreign cities a great deal of power is put in the hands of a very few individuals and they are held to strict accounta bility for what thev do as well as for what they do not do. The result is that every dollar of city money secures a dol lar's worth of work or material, and Gen. P. M. B. Young over-pays are unknown. We wish Senator Vance had enlarged on this topic. He would be doing the people a great service in so doing. Larue Salaries. As large salaries as the president of the United States receives are not un common. It is believed that several in surance company presidents get as much and perhaps half a dozen heads of rail ways, while there are "promoters" who do not think they are doing well unless they make what many of us would con sidera fortune every twelve months. The latest interesting report of this kind is told in connection with a conference of some eastern racing track othciuls. After a meeting of theirs the other day it was announced that "James F. Caldwell, the noted race starter, who is considered to be without a peer in handling the flag, had signed a contract to start solely for the Saratoga and Guttenburg raeing as sociations. He will receive a salary of $25,000 a year, and his contract will last for two years." It is very hard if not impossible for the unitiated to see how it is possible for any man to be worth so much in such a capacity. A "Public" rrlal. Several months ago one "Buck" Mur ray was tried in Michigan for murder and convicted. He was a hardened criminal and was given a life sentence. There was no doubt of his guilt, but his counsel carried the case to the supreme court of the state on the ground that Murry did not have a "public trial" in the full meaning of the constitution, the lower court-having ordered no one to be admitted to the court room who was "disorderly or uncleanly." It is a most amazing thing that a supreme court worthy of the name afaould have granted a new trial on thia ground, but it ha! been done, and Murray may now etcape altogether, aa it will be difficult to get together the witnesses whose testimony convicted him on the former trial. The technicalitict of the law are often more powerful than the law itself., . HUl'e Man r Mot Much. Some of our democratic contempo- rariea who have been greatly worried because Speaker Crisp waa Hill'l man, and would not therefore be able to apeak hit Own mind, will have to readjust themselves. ' Crisp, t waa asserted, was in favor of patting a free coinage bill thia year and of not passing a general tariff bill; , hence Rill mutt have dictated that policy, and independence waa dead or very nearly to. But here comet Hill and out of bit mouth be apeaketh, and be tayt that be doea not advise patting a free coinage bill tbit session, and that he doea not think at all well of attack ing the McKJnlcy bill piecemeal. . .,: The tact ia, Senator Hill ia not a demo cratic leader yet in national politics, and.be probably will not be till be proves himself shrewder than, tay, Carlisle and Gorman. And at for Speaker Crisp, give him a little tiane to thow what ia in the St. republican paper: "Mr. Crisp seems to think that he was elected speaker for the purnoseof niakini; it safer to bet upon the election of a re publican president in 1892." We submit that the News and Courier is in small business when it reprints par tisan repub.ican comment to condemn a democrat with. H. McCalla was year and a half ago COMMANDEK B. court-martialed a tor extreme cruelty to the crew ot his vessel, one of his threats being, "If you smile at me I will kill you." He treated nearly all his subordinates with great brutality, "cutting them down'' with a sword when he fancied that would relieve his temper. His sentence was suspension from the service for three years, and the president lias just remit ted the unexpired portion of the term. As McCalla was a bully it is probable he is also a coward, but if war should breaU out with Chili he should be sent hence to work out the brute in him by actual conflict with an enemy that can strike back. As a matter ot fact, bis ap earance in the service again is a dis grace to it. IT is very apparent that the United States has on its hands no small job in attempting to rid the Texas border of Garzia. We ofjeourse harbor him at our financial peril, for if he succeeds on our soil in becoming formidable enough to inflict considerable injury on Mexico we should be liable for the damage done un lesss it could be shown that we did everything in our power to defeat the purposes of this revolutionist. We shall probably burn more powder in this Garza affair than our quarrel with Chili will call for. The Texas Rangers who are new to be put on the trail of Garzia, the Mexi can revolutionist, form a bodv ot police perhaps the most effective, for the work they are intended, tn the world. They are always mounted when on duty and can start in pursuit of a criminal on one minute's notice. They almost never fail to effect a capture and are such ijood In dian fighters that the Apaches have a dread of them and seldom invade Texas. They will drive Garzia over the border if they do not catch him and hang him. The New York World is in error when it says that "the name of Scanlan has been added to the lenghtening list of clever and favorite actors who have suc cumbed to the strain of stage life." What Scanlan succomb to was the strain of a disreputable . life off the stage. The wrecki of actor! better than he are itrewn all along the gilded way he choose to follow, and he went not with out warning to hie fate. If Chili wisbei to arbitrate herdiffi culty with the United Statea thia country can hardly refuse to submit the questions at issue. At we aaid tome weeka ago, to go to war with Chili without having ex hausted every Honorable meant to avoid a conflict would be disgraceful to a na tion whose policy thould be peace with all tne earth. A North Carolinian Did It. From the Chattanooga Times. The esteemed Knoxville Journal an nounces, editorially, that the firm of McNulty & Ransom informs the Knox ville Council that the sale of Knoxville's $500,000 improvement bonds, is "off;" and that the failure to sell to the New York Mutual Life Insurance company, was because a gentleman residing in North Carolina, but owning property and being a taxpayer in Knoxville, noti fied the proposing purchaser that be the North Carolinu-Knoxvillian would en join the city from paying interest on the securities. The insurance company, not caring to buy a lawsuit as an appendage of the botids, withdrew its ofler for the latter.

Jay Gould boasts that he never took a salary from any corporation with which be waa connected. He took the csroor- ation instead. The Jefleretoii Davis Ball Bond. From the Richmond Dispatch. A paragraph about the disappearance of the Jefferson Davis bail bond from the United States Circuit court records in the custom house is going the rounds of the press. This is an old story revived, the facts having all been published some time ago. The original document is in the handwriting of Mr. William Flegen helmer, and no doubt exists at the custom-house that it was stolen by an em ployee of the government in the building and sold to some relic-hunter. Subse quently, it is said, this same employe lorged another bond, had it lithographed in Inc-simile, and sold numbers of copies of the lithograph. He did not, however, deposit the forgerv in the court records. Cleveland. From the New York World. Mr. Cleveland is the candidate of Che anti-politicians, so to speak. He repre sents ideas, sentiments, aspirations, not organized purpose. Ordinarily such a candidacy for a nomination would be hopeless because organization is sup posed usually to count for more than ideas, sentiments and aspirations in nominating conventions. In Mr. Cleve land's case there seems to be a wide spread conviction that the rule will not hold good. In spite of the organized hostility to his candidacy, it has been tbe general expectation that he will re ceive the nomination. But that expectation is now somewhat less confident, perhaps, than it was a year ago, or even a month ago. The Keelv Cure and Prohibition. Prom an interview with Mr. Keely. "Moral treatment in inebriety ? My dear sir, you might as well give a set of ruffles to a man who is in need of a shirt as to talk religion to a drunken man who seeks help. He is sick man and must be treated accordingly, and all the advice and moralizing in the world will be absolutely without effect upon him. But I sav without the slight- est hesitancy than the result oi the rapid increase in me numner oi men who nave been cured bv the Keeley system, means just one thing prohibition in this coun try. Tbe prohibition party will toon be like Othello minus an occupation." The Independents' Position. From tbe Springfield Republican. The course of events in tbe next six months will largely shape the lines of the approaching campaign. If wise and patriotic counsels shall prevail in the democratic leadership, that party may still offer the best practical resource for the time. We regard this as the more probable solution. We incline to think that the plot to nasi a free silver bill and so prevent Cleveland'! personality and the simple issue of tariff reform will justify the independent! in again sup porting the democratic party. Effect of a Pre Silver Plank. Prom the Charleston News and Courier. The Atlanta Journal ia talking right out in meeting in a way that must make the head! of some of it! more caution! contemporaries fairly twim. "With a free silver plank in tbe democratic plat form," aaya the Journal, "we might save Georgia to tbe democracy and come within 60,000 votes of carrying New York." Tbit it a very forcible way of leacning a wnoietome political lesson. Tt Obtain BMllatV , .

Here we are, right into '92, and going at the same old '91 I-wnnt-to-get-there gait. Old Father Time has thrown to the wind the 365th card in the pack, and what are you going to do about it? Have you turned over a new leaf that is to be filled up like last year's ? If last year's was filled as it should have been, then you are right, but if not, well it's high time you were making a few resolutions lor your guidance in '92. There is nothing like a set of good reso lutions well kept from one year's end to another, so I'm told. Coming to Rev. Mr. Byrd's reply to mv remarks commenting on his reference to the "drunken printer." I did not say, nor intend to leave anyone to infer, that he had made an attack on the Asheville printers. 1 did get my information "sec ond hand." Two of Mr. Byrd's hearers on that day told me tliatthat gentleman had said something like this: He had met a man in an office in Asheville who was drunk. Some words were spoken, and the man, in reply to a remark, said, "I am not a sinner; I'm a printer." That's where I thought the smile came in, but I suppose I haven't the necessary discriminating sense of humor. I said that I thought the sermon would have been as good with that reference to the printer left out, and this humble opinion I vet most respectfully beg to maintain. Mr. Byrd says he is reliably informed that the man belonged to the printers' union. 1 hope the union printers will not feel hurt over that reminder that there is a drunken printer in their ranks. But. then, there are, 1 am sorry to say, men in every profession who love their "bitters." And now I want to say a word or so on Mr. Byrd's declaration that "tattlers usually get their stock second-hand." Perhaps he knows; perhaps not. The name which I selected for this col umn nearly a year ago seems to worry some people. But I don't think I shall change it for a day or two, at least. In fact, I have about concluded that I am satisfied with it, and, Providence and The Citizen permitting, hope to have mv weekly chat with vou for some time to come W hen I want to change, 1 will advertise in The Citizen for sugges tions. In closing his letter to The Citizen, Mr. Byrd shows that he has been guilty of doing just what he says "tattlers" do get their stock "second-hand." He in timates thnriomebody forced me to say that I did not mean the aforesaid "somebody" in my article on dead beats two weeks ago. He says the man called at my officasthenext morning after my article was printed ! The "next day" was Sunday, and I am hardly ever in "my office" onSundavi But allowing Mr. llyrd one day tor mistakes in "second-hand" matter, still it would have been a physical impossibility for anyone to have seen me at my office. 1 have said nothingthat I will retract, and have retracted nothing. I challenge Mr. Byrd to prove his assertion, made so boldly. He can't do so. The First National bank is undergoing changes that will make it one of the fin est buildings in Asheville. But in my opinion it would add greatly to the beauty of the pile if the old stucco were discorded and the entire building left to show just what it is good honest brick. There can be nothing prettier. Look, for example, at the new Reynolds block and others near the square. The people who will miss Rev. Dr. Nelson, the First Baptist pastor, arejnot all members, of bis congregation. Mem bers of other churches recognize bis abil ity and his Christian character and in fluence, while many of Asheville's poor people, who have been ministered unto by this good man, will testify to Dr. Nel son's willingness at all times to look after their physical as well as spiritual wants May his days be long in the continuation of his noble work. m The Tattkr.
