I SO One Month One Week l'r THE DAILY CITIZEN. 1. on Ale at the followlngplaae. In Athevlllc : CITIZKN OFKR'B. BATTKKY PARK NBWS STAND. OLBN KOCK NBWS STAND. MOUBL CIOAK tjTOKB, Patton Ave. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1891. The Adirondack-Aalievllle. The Troy, New York, Times had tlie following recently: "Those who seek a sanitary clysium should weigh the matter well before making a decision. There is a gnat rivalry between resorts of this kind. Every art that the boomer can employ, every device that the ingenious adver tiser can invent is turned to account in portraying their advantages and at tracting patronage. The other side ol the picture is never presented. The ob jectionable features are careftillv con cealed from public view. A case in point is furnished by a letter from Miss Blanche J -, of Cochesctt, Mass, who is spending the winter at Ash.-villc, N. C, to recruit her health. She is n bright and intelligent young lady, and the unvarnished report which she gives of that 'Mecca for invalids' is vouched for as correct and truthful. Miss J writes: 'My physician at home did not encourage my going to Florida, but nd vised Asheville, N. C. Alas! how little he knew what he was doing!' A longer extract from the letter lollows: " 'Theelimate here has been a great disap pointment to me, as well as to every one else this winter. The last really beautiful day that we had was February 17. We actually have not seen a day since then that could be called line. The sun shine now lor a wonder, but to balance thai the wind blows a hurricane. Don't 1 wish I had sufficient command of my pen to write an article on Asheville? People would change their opinion of the place just the least bit. While out for a stroll a short time ago 1 saw a sign in tin street: "No fishing here." It wasa slur on the mud, and not an exaggeration either. The coal dealers refused to deliver coal to the house because of the mud, and Mr. had to spend the best part of two or three davs before he found a man will ing to do the carting. It then cost him $J. 50 a ton for cartage. 1 should s.iy toeverv one. "Keep away from Ashe ville." tine more point on t In climate. You may imagine it is warm in this place, but you will change your mind when I tell you that a few nights ago the water froze in mv room. Needless to sav that I froze too, but like the watei thawed when brought in contact with a goodcoal hie.' "The lesson from this is plain. The in valid should take no chances in selecting a health resort. If the peoplcof the east would realize that right at home thej have one ol the very best natural sum tariums in the world they would ignore the deceptive allurements of places whose attractions exist only in the eyes ol speculators, the Adirondack region furn ishes the best health restorer in the coun try. Us pure and bracing air brings strength and healing with every inhala tion. Its ease of access and its abund ant provision tor the comfort ol visitors its variety of health-giving sport anil ex ercise all combine to make it the ideal spot for those who wish renewed mental and physical vigor." Now, TllE Cl rii.N has no intention ol rushing to the defense of the weather Asheville has had during the past two months. We have exposed its malig nant qualities dailv. U might have been worse, but we can only know how much worse bv reading the accounts of what other winter resorts in the old world as well as here have suffered from. This we can lie sure of, however, that the past winter here has been exceptionable al most without parallel for discomfort But the voting lady whom the Troy Times has heard from omits one ver important part of the testimony she should have given. She is an invalid, the Times says, and she correctly char acterizes our bad streets, und is trulhlul in saying that we have had some cold, as well as a great deal of wet, weather Hut the supreme test ol her exjierience in Asheville she leaves us in thedark about And that is, was her health improved ': I'ntil that question is answered in the negative, the doctor-editor of the Tiov Times cannot say that this climate has been tried and, in this particular case, found wanting. The young lady was advised by a phy sician to come here instead of going to the Adirondacks, whence Dr. Troy Times, who has diagnosed her case at a distance of some 800 miles a remarkable bit of work and entitled to special mention would have sent Her. Now, we are not going to fall afoul of the Adirondacks nnd on such superficial know lego as I'r. Troy Times has of Asheville, condemn it. In the first place, the Adirondacks are part of the United States and, like nil southerners, we are too fond of our common country to try to bourn one part of it by slandering another. We have no doubt its climate is good for some and Dr. Troy Times can send all his pa tients there and we shall not complain. Asheville will move on just the same, with its reputation for having the finest climate in the world so fixed in the minds of all the great physicians except D. Troy Times that there can be no check ing our onward march in the front rank of all-the-vear-'round resorts. We shall be pleased always to hear that Dr. Troy Times and his favorite winter resort, the Adirondacks, nre doing as well as could be expected. The LeHSon It Teaches. The Chattanooga Times, speaking to the text that lynching is sometimes justi fiable, says: "When judges and juries ignore honor right, truth, the safety of society, the good name of the community; when they, earning a bribe or fawning on the elements of disorder and crime, turn loose on society a whole jnilfull of mur derers, fire-bugs and other felons, nnd per sist in treating the state they are paid to serve in this manner, then there is but one course open to the lovers of justice, to those who would not submit to have their city turned over, bound hand and foot, to banded crime, ruthless cut throats, secret assassins, professional tnievcs. Lynching jailed men not proven guilty of anv crime would not, even under the circumstances the Times details, be justi fiable. There would be lor more justifi- cation for hanging the bribed judges and juries. But who chose those judge and the other officials that allowed the juries to be bribed ? The people. Then let the people lynch themselves or mend their political methods. That's the lesson of the New Orleans tragedy and it should be taken to heart in every city nnd town in the United States. CliAfNCEY M. Dkpkw receives a sal ary of $50,000 a year and can therefore stand considerable hectoring. However, The Citizen will prod him just this once more and then let him brood for a time over the hundreds of columns ol criti cisms on his defence of the deadly car stove. When Mr. Depew was arrested, or just before, he asserted that a col lision on the Lehigh V.illcv road a year or two ago gave an example of where passengers were scalded to death bv steam escaping from heating pipes. The Railway Gazette was skeptical enough to look the case up and it turns out that the train Mr. Depew alluded to was not heated at all on that trip, it being a warm day in October! Thk more evidence we have on the New Orleans killing the more does it ap pear to be without excuse. One of the iiirvinen on the case hasliecn interviewed and in a straightforward, convincing way gives a history of the jury's work, showing how weak the prosecution was and that there were many significant lailurcs on the part of the state to pro duce witnesses that had been exiiected to give the most direct testimony as to the killing of Hcnncssv. As to bribery, theie was none of it, this juryman says. Two of the accused were acquitted because the presiding judge charged that this be done, and as to the other prisoners there was not testimony enough of the con viucing kind to convict them. John D. Kockki-ku.kk. of the Stan daed oil trust has just given $100,000 to the American Baptist education so ciety, to which he had already bestowed Sl.'J0,000. His gifts to the educational institutions of the Uaptist denominations must have exceeded $1,500,000. The in voluntary gifts of the American people to Mr. Rockefeller run up into several times that sum. Tin-; French government has acceded to a request ol the Chilian revolutionists, who asked that the Chilian war ships lust completed at Toulon and destined lor the service of President Ilabuaceda should not be allowed to to depart. This looks very much as though France had more faith in the revolutionists than in the present Chilian government. til l IIKU OVI.HTON. A Hurt or Labor Nuvl.ilt Machine tor New York Mt-portera.
