OLBN BOCK NBWS STAND. MODBL CIOAR 8TORB, Fatton Are. SATURDAY. m JANUARY 24, 1891. King Kalakaaa'H Reputatinu. Editor Thb Citizen: I perused with ome feelings of regret the paragraph in your editorial in this evening's issue, relative to tbe late King Kalakaua wherein you seem to deride certain phases of his mode of amusement and re freshment, and wind up by stating, "as though he had been a gentleman." I suppose the author ol the aforesaid paragraph is not partial to nor has the teelings Be attributes to the late King Kalakaua and which to bis mind bebar a man the title of "gentleman." For the benefit of the author of the ar ticle and any one interested and not aware of the facts. I will state that King Kalakaua was studious and a man of great research, who made good use of tne education he received, as theeditoria! stated, through missionaries. Through researches, studies in theology, com parisons of the theosophists and the theories of Darwin, Tyndull and others ne concluded that the time had come for a new, profound and more elevated theory of the creation and its purposes. The author-king had completed three chapters for a book in 1889, and had he lived to finish the work begun and pub lished it, bis theories might shake to the foundation the present theory of the ology. A few of his theories were: Every thing beginning with fire must neces sarily end with that element, and he thought the deluge to be a myth; also a complete denial of the present view of the creation. His work was to be termed the "Temple of Wisdom," and claimed to be a diametrical physiography. I yc lieve civilization has cause to regret this gentleman's demise. John II. Stadti.andkr. Asbeville, N. C, Jan. 22. It is entirely to Mr. Stadtlamler's credit, that, believing King Kalakaua a gentleman, he should come to his defence. We could wish that defence had been more elaborate. Three unpublished chap ter on "The temple of wisdom," how ever profound, hardly tH.-m an offset to years of debauchery and the accomplish ment of the financial ruin ol a kingdom. Nor can we believe that "the present the ory ol theology" was ever in any ureat danger trom a man whose highest ambi tions while in New York was to sec the "Black Crook" and who, apparently, felt the most at home there among the lewd and the base. If King Kalakaua had "concluded that the time had come for a new, profound and more elevated theorv of the creation" it is singular that the public mind associates him mainly with poker playing and worse recreations, it . . . nowevcr, me puonc nnnci mav oe in the wrong, and we invite Mr. Stndt lander to show that it is so. The Legal Rate of IiitereHt. If Buncombe s voice is heeded the law reducing the legal rate of interest will not pass. There would be little opposi tion to such a bill if it could result in pre cisely what the author of the bill in tended; but it cannot. Instead of making money cheaper it would make it so scarce that it could not be had on any terms, and the effect on North Carolina would be disastrous. The penalty for charging more than the present legal rate might with per haps good effect be made more severe; but to make a 6 per cent, rate successful there would also be needed a law to com pel capitalists to loan their money at that rate whether they wished to or not The Citizen commends the good sense of the county alliance in declaring against this bill. If every woman who sees the need of good sidewalks and paving would write to Thb Citizen in complaint of the pres ent situation there would soon be created an irresistable body of public opinion in favor of a better state of things in this respect. Where none, or only, lis mainlv in the past, The Citizen, gives yoice to criticism of public matters little attention it paid by the taxpayer absorbed in his daily vocation. However, we !elieve that at last there is a determination in influential circles to commit the city to a distinct policy of improvement as a busi ness investment. The best cannot be too good for Asheville. Senator Quay tells the Washington correspondent of the Pitsburg Commer cial Gazette: "My relations with the president are most cordial." So are the relations of the monkey to the organ grinder. The monkey doesn't want to as sociate with the organ grinder but he has to. Why has not eastern North Carolina become a great winter resort ? Greens boro North State. Because Asheville is in the western part of tbe state. A BOYCOTT. A north Carolina Newspaper rs. tne Richmond and Danville. Prom the Concord Standard. The Standard is sad this evening! Very sad! A communication from the managing brain of the Richmond and Danville railroad to the Old Man who manipulates the keys on this musical in strument a paper that speaks what it believes to be the truth conveys the sad (?) intelligence that we are to have no "Editor's Pass" on the railroad, etc. So the Standard is boycotted by the great railroad concern known throughout the world as, the Richmond and Danville railroad company. . We bare done right, we believe; we told tbe truth as we got it from freight bills signed by their own agents; what we bare done, we are preparing to do again, and it will be a late day. when the Stan dard, under its present management, sells its honor, its freedom and its birthright to a gigantic monopoly that is robbine: by degrees, tbe hard earned thccklcs of a bard working people. , For Malaria, Liver Trou ble, or Indigestion, uao BROWN'S IRON BITTERS ! NORTH CAROLINA FOLKS. J. H. Hcdrick, of Lexington, comes to the front with a young vis that has five perfectly formed legs, three of them being iu iront. Evangelist W. P. File will begin series of meetings in Lexington on Sun day. The meetings are to be held in t- inch's ball. Brigadier General W. H. Anthony has resigned as commander of the First brignde, North Carolina state guard. toe resignation was accepted. The republicans at Raleigh are stirred up by reason of the appointment of J. F. Payne, of this state, as Indian agent, They say that Payne made two attempts to secure the adoption oftheSoutliCo.ro- iiuu circiviii iuw in norm mroiinu, nun that President ' Hurrison has done the party great injury by appointing him to any position. Charles E. Cross and Samuel C. White, respectively president and cashier ol the State National bank of Raleigh, who fled to Canada, taking with them some $20.- 000, and who were sentenced to hard labor, have lieen pardoned by GoV Fowle who snvs: "In thtsc cases there was no preconceived purpose to defraud or ob tain personal advantage, but it wnsnn attempt to sustain u sinking hunk by un warranted means and unlawful practices. In a fit of desperation and failure thev succumbed to the temptation, and fled, carrying with them monev belonging to others, almost nil of which was after ward surrendered bv them " The par dons were secured bv Mrs. Cross and Mrs. White, two as devoted wives as North Carolina has any record of. Washington Post, 22: The marriage of Miss Florence Elinor Cooper, of Raleigh, N. C, to Mr. Charles Manly Busbee, of North Carolina, was solemn ized at 8 o'clock last evening at the resi dence of the bride's relatives, Senator and Mrs. Vance, on Massachusetts ave nue. Cardinal Gibbons officiated. The presence of his eminence was due to his frieudsliii) with Senator Vance, with whom he was formerly intimately as sociated when a priest in North Caro lina. The two ushers were Mr. Cooper, brother of the bride, and Mr. Martin, son of Mrs. Vance, followed bv Miss ustii-e and Miss Norris, of Raleigh, as Hower girls. Then came the four brides maids, Miss Bowles, of Kentucky; Miss Helen Fowle, daughter of the uorernor of North Carolina, and Miss Weller and Miss Bullock, ol Kentucky, Miss Hoke, of North Carolina, as maid of honor, immediately preceded the bride, who entered on the arm of Senator Vance, her stepfather, Mr. Pierce, being detained at home bv illness. The best man was Attorney General Theodore Davidson, of North Carolina. I.ETTliKS FROM THIS VKOPlJi. "The Atrocious) Crime." Editor Tin: Citizen: What oration did Burke liegin with the words "The as tounding crime of being a young man?" It may be that I am wofully ignorant, but I must confess I never heard of such an oration by Burke. The elder Pitt, the great Earl of Chatham begun kis reply to Walpole by saving, "the atrocious crime of being a young rran," etc. Please inform your readers in to-morrow's issue when and where Burke de livered the oration to which you have re ferred, and for which you predict such lng life. ' St iiscKim-R. Jan. 2U. 1X91. Our impression is that Tin- Citizen has been fairly caught in a mistake the first, of course, it ever made, and prob ably, equally of course, the last. We haven't a Burke at hand, but such mem ory as TliK Citizen has with it at the present moment confirms "Subscriber's" position. By the way, why did not "Subscrilier" send his real name with his communication ? Ed. Citizen, A. T. Munituey Nominated. Editor The Citizen :-I think from what was said in your paper yesterday evening in reference to the election of recorder by two of our aldermen ought to be enough to let the matter rest until the first of June. Asheville has several gentlemen that can fill the office with ability. There is none in Asheville that is better qualified for the position of re corder than A.T. Summey, Esq. He will always be at his post of duty to admin ister justice tempered with mercy. Will Mayor Blan ton Explain. Editor The Citizen: It seems to me to be in order now for the mayor to ex plain to the tax-payers by what right or authority he went to Raleigh and had an act passed to amend the charter of this city. It looks very like a high-handed measure and it is Jhoped the board of aldermen will treat it as a nul lity. They will certainly do so if they have any regard for the people's interest at whose hands they hold their places. Tax Payers. Where the Blame Belong. Editor the Citizen: Noticing in your paper of the 23rd Mr. E. H. Nies name is mentioned among other persons in dicted in the criminal court, charged with selling liquor without a license, it is only fair to Mr. Nies to say that whatever guilt or opprobrium attaches to this charge belongs not to him, but to the Cosmopolitan club. S. Westray Battle, Pres. of Cosmopolitan Club. Who rules in this town ? . Depends on the question up. The lamo-chimnev miM. tion what sort do you break ? Whatever sort vour dealer deals in. How. do vou thtnlc. hp. selects his chimneys ? He buys those that cost him least; he can get the regular price for them; and the faster they break the more he sells. That's how he reasons. Tell him vrtn want' Mi- beth's " pearl top " or " pearl Class." touch class. ent, clear, not foggy, fine, of i&uk auduc aim unuorm. 1 ell him you 11 oav him a nickel more a piece, and that will cover his extra costs twice over. Tell him vou dnn't nrn. pose to break any more. Try yuur iiiuiu at ruung. FttWrarg. Oao.A,lU0MrakOa THE RATE PER CENT. An Argument That It Should be Reduced. Prom the State Chronicle. At the request of Mr. Williams, senate bill 3, amending Sec. 3,805, Chap. 62 of the Code, was taken from the committee and placed upon the calendar. Mr. Gil man moyed to recommit. The bill re peals the existing law allowing the col lecting of more than 6 per cent, interest. Mr. Williams took the floor and said he had been working at this thing for twelve vears. The people demanded, and have for years demanded, that the law allowing 8 per cent, interest should be reiealed. Usury, high interest, had been the beginning of the downfall of every nation of antiquity. Judge Story tells us that the colonists who came to America brought with them from the mother country the rates of interest charged in their old homes. Some of these usurous rates were so oppressive that it led to the establishment of ware houses, similar to what is now asked bv the Farmers' alliance, and made the rate ol interest 6 1-5 per cent, hrom 18:i(i up to 1868 the rate of interest in this state was never more than 6 per cent The memorable carpet-bag legislature of l8 made our present law. Now under the present law the Shy- locks have the privilege of oppressing the helpless poor who need monev, ifor ne cessity knows no law) while I he orphan children of the state those who need it above all others are not allowed by our laws to have but 6 per cent. It is an in justice and an outrage. The farmers in 188'j received on their invested enpitnl only 3 per cent., while the manufactures ull over the country averaged 30 er cent. How on earth can the farmer pay 8 per cent, for money on which he cannot make over 3 or 4 jht cent. Ncarlv all the states collect lower in terest than we do. Virginia charges 6 per cent, and who will say that she has not as much money ns wc ? New York charges only 0 per cent., and yet she commands all the money she wants. The truth is that lowering interest has always brought money to a state, from the fact that money loaned at a low rate is safer than loaned at a high rate. Absolutely Pure.
