AshcTille if her people would give him
certain material encaurajfemeut, the en
couragement waa given and the school
secured in almost thetwinklingof an ejre.
It it the undaunted spirit of progress,
manifested on occasions like these, that
has made Asheville the pride of her 6wn
citizens, and the wonder and the envv of
the outside world.
And now that Asheville has presented
to her the greatest of all her opportuni
ties is she going to forfeit her fair re
nown and orove herself unworthy the
character she has established ? Now
that she has a chance to take a step that
will put htr success as a city beyond
question, is she going to- listen to the
false alarms sounded by narrow, selfish
men and take a step backward that she
can never retrace? Surely not! For
the men of nerve and daring say not.
The poor man, who sees his true interest,
says not. The men who have made Ashe
ville what she is, and who have not been
atraid to risk their money on her future,
say not. And again we sav, surely not
BItt TOBACCO COMBINATION.
THURSDAY. APRIL 30. 1891.
Grandmother Blair seems to be in a
sorry fix. The United States don't want
him and the Chinese government won't
have bim.
The question in a nut shell is this:
Shall Asheville in the future be the home
of the civilized man or the habitat of
hogs, tad-poles and mud-turtles?
The preliminary canvass discloses the
fact that the owners of at least three-
fourths of thetaxable property of the city
are in favor of the improvement bill. In
fact, nearly all the largest taxpayers are
in favor of taxing their real estate for
the improvement of the streets.
Dr. J. William Jones, of Richmond, a
Baptist minister of prominence and char
acter, and author of a number of valua
ble biographies of prominent southern
men, has written a letter in the Atlanta
Journal in which he charges that the
great explorer, Henry M. Stanley, was a
deserter from the confederate army dur
ing the civil war. Mr. tones says Stan
ley enlisted in the confederate army at
New Orleans, but subsequently deserted
and joined the union army.
Thrre was a marked difference in the
positions of the two candidates for
mayor of Asheville, as published in The
Citizen of yesterday. Mr. H. T. Collins
"did not want it ii the people did not
want it," and would not say whether he
would even vote for it. Mr. Blanton
said plainly and unequivocally that he
was heartily in favor of the general
improvemeut bill at well as the school
appropriation bill. The friends of these
measures can have no doubt for wnum
to cast their votes on Monday.

Can We Afford to Defeat
Measure T
We would like to know if the oppo
nentt of the improvement meature have
ever seriously considered the consequences
to Asheville of defeating it. Surely they
have not, else they could not stand as
they do. It may be that these gentle
men solace themselves with the reflec
tion that if this measure be defeated the
people will vote the same appropriation
for the necessary improvement of our
streets and the enlargement and ex
tension of our sewerage system, the in
terest on the bonds issued therefor, and
the bonds themselves at maturity to be
paid by the levying of an ad valorem tax.
We want to inform these gentlemen
right now, it such be their hope, in our
bumble opinion they are bugging a de
lusive phantom. The poor uien of Ashe
ville, it they are not absolutely and hope
lessly blind to their own best interests
will infinitely prefer the proposed plan
for the necessary improvement to be
made in onr streets, to any such in
equitable, unjust and burdensome sys
tem at an ad valorem tax. An ad
valorem tax to pay for the improvements
would require too much of their hard
earnings lor the benefits tbey would re
ceive; it would require too little of the
wealth of those who would get the
direct benefits. It would, in a word, be
too heavy on the poor and too light on
the rich, in fact it would be so heavy
on the poor men the men with no real
estate at all, and the men with little
home on cross streets that will not be'
paved perhaps in twenty years, and so
light on the rich men; the men with
large frontage on principal streets; the
men who would get richer still by reason
of the paving, and who are, therefore,
better able tp bear the burden of the cost
of it that it would inevitably bankrupt
the city to carry, and ultimately pay, the
debt she would have to create in order
to make the absolutely necessary im
provementt. Added to all this, it is ex
tremely doubtful whether the bonds se
curing such a debt as the city would
have to create, could be sold, tor it is the
ooinion of competent financiers that
Asheville is now earring about as largi
a debt on the ad valorem plan of taxa
tion as the can attord. Bur on the plan
proposed the city can pay her one-third
and the abutting owners their one-third
each, and the general tax-payer will not
be burdened and the abutting owners
will not only not be burdened but greatly
benefitted in many instances enormous
ly enncbed. .,
out aside from all these considerations
can Asheville afford to have this improve
ment measure defeated? She poses at
the moat progressive, enterprising city
in the state, with few equals in the south.
Her peopk have succeeded In everythiflg,
they have ever undertaken. ' They' hate
known no such word at tail. When it
waa proposed to hold the Southern im
migration convention in Asheville, and
her people wtrc called oa fo bear the' ev
Dense, they responded with an alacrity
aad liberality in every sense worthy of
the character sac sustains. When Maj.
Bingham proposed to bring his tchool to

proAtH of a Blnicle Company.
From the New York Sun.
"Considering the one brief year's fx
istence of the American tobacco com
pany of 45 Hroadwav, and its success in
absorbing 90 per cent, of the cigarette
trade of America and 9H per cent, of the
smoking trade there is a pardonable en
riositv as to tne nature oi ine organiza
tion.'' said a well known tobacco dealer
vesterduv. At the offices of thecompany
all that could be learned of the reported
transfer to the company ol the
property of Cnil & Ax at Balti
more, valued at.$509,(M0. and of Mar
burg Brothers' factory, also at Balti
more, valued at $00,000, is that nego
tiations are under wav at Baltimore lor
the ourchase of the property.
"There is no doubt," continued the
dealer, "that the papers either have been
signed or will lie signed as soon as tne
expert from New York citv, employed by
the American Tobacco company to de
termine the value ot the plants, shall
make his report. The sale will be emi
tnmmatcd in a wtek, and the clmnge will
tnke place within sixty diiys "
The purcha.se of the pniierty of (J. W.
Gail & Ax and of the Marburg Brothers
is a new departure. Five tobacco firms,
dealing almost entirely in cigarettes, at
first made up the trust or company, in:
Allen & (.Sinter, of Kinney Brothers, of
this citv, Iuke, Sons anil Co., of New
York and liurham, V. S. Kimball, of
Rochester, and Goodwin & Co It would
seem that, having secured control ot the
cigarette trade, the company have now
secured the smoking tobacco trade ulso.
No use in prices ot smoking tobacco or
cigarettes as vet, and the company de
clare there will be none.
The advantages to the company arc
that they will employ fewer agents than
formerly in drumming up business and
will maintain lewer unices in oig cities ui
high rentB and high salaries; but chieflv,
the company saves money for its mcm-
liers by stopping the distribution oi col
ored pictures to accompany each box
sold. Millions of these pictnrei were
scattered uroudcast over the country. H
is said that the individual firms now
composing the American Tobacco Com
pany spent $Joii.000 a year in colored
pictures. Now there remains no longer
auv comietition worthy of the name.
Each individual firm continues to manu
facture its own peculiar brand, and the
nurchaser selects what he likes.
There is also an advantage to the job
bers and retailers, since they get a rebate
from the purchase price. I he rebate,
however, is provisional.
The factories of the company, except
that of Uuke, Sons & Co., of this city,
will eventually be removed to Baltimore,

Parochial Hchools.
It is claimed that the views held by
authorities of the Catholic church in
Rome on the school question in the Uni
ted States are that Catholics in this
country- should have parochi il schools in
all parishes wh re it is possible, and thi.t
ihv u'hnola should in every instance be
equal to those of the State. Where it is
impossible to do this schools should be
established ill which catechism may be
taught, or the State should be persuaded
to permit instruction in the catechism
outside the hours regularly appointed for
the ordinary school subjects, as is done
