ASHEVILLE DAILY CITIZEN: THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 21, 1801. 4 4 N. ASHEVILLE DAHY CITIZEN. By RAhDOLPH-KERR PRINTING CO. Tn Pailt Cituku, Oemocratic, la published every afternoon (except Sunday I at the fol lowing utti ttrictly cusb ; On Yss $ oo 8ix Month, 3.00 Thibb Months l.fio Onb Month fi( Onb Wbkk 15 THURSDAY. MAY 21. 18')1. Clljt Hall and Market Houne. Work on the city hall and market house was suspended yesterday hy order of Mayor Rlantnn, in deference to a peti tion signed by sixty-four citizens. The objections set forth by the petitioners were two. First "That the proximity of the lire department to the market will make it dangerous for the ieople to congregate about the market house." Second "That the market is unap proachable by people, wagons or carts." Tmk Citikn has examined the plans of the proposed city hall and market house, and is satisfied that neither of the objections niged in the petition is such as to justify the city authorities now in changing the present plans, which were thoroughly discussed and looked into liv the old board before leing adopted. In fact, these very matters were brought to theattentionof the board when the plans were under discussion, and are in no tense new matter. At to the first objection urged hy the petitioners, the fire department as pro posed will lie 50 feet from the nearest entrance to the market, and there can be no reason for supposing that crowds will congregiite around the doors, to be run oyer by the horses in case of an alarm of lire. The lire department should be on the high ground on court square, in order to get a quick start for a fire. To put it anywhere else ismanifestly wrong. As to the second objection urged, it is equally tinsustnincd by the facts. There will be six entrances to the market on the south and west sides of the building, and two on the east. On the south will be the whole ol Market street for the ac commodation of "K'ople, wagons and carts," and on the east there will Ik; a paved surface thirty feet deep lietween the building and Spruce street for the use ol "people, wagons and carts." The objections made bv the butchers concerning the stablesnnil water closets, were likewise not well founded, as the ttnblei will lie in no wuv connected with the market, being located in the north west corner of the building, with a heavy brick wall between, while the closets will be placed in the city hall portion of the building, fully 45 feet from the nearest entrance to the market, and also sepa rated by thick brick walls. In fact, if the city it to build a market house at all in connection with the city hall (and Tub Citizks thinks it should the plan upon which the work has already been begun teemt to be as com plete and as well and conveniently ar ranged, both for those who will occupy thestullsand the public w ho will patron ize them, as could well have been devised, taking into consideration the present site. Certain it ii that the board will I .-il luming a grave responsibility to stop the present work and make a change in the plans, when such change will involve a loss to the city of several thousands ol dollars for work already done, unless they can demonstrate that other and more serious difficulties than those men tioned in this petition exist in order to justify their action. It is imimssilile not to remark that "the fates" so the t'.rceks had it and wc have copied the phrase are against the Italians. The New ()i leans Ivnching ol eleven Italians was followed by the drowning ol scores of them in the Medi teranean off Oibralter. Since then the dispatches have almost daily reported tragedies in which Italians were the vic tims. Tuesday at Tarrytown, N. Y., a large quantity of dvnamitc exploded ac cidentally. Twenty Italians were killed and others were shockingly wounded. What becomes of presidential presents, such as Mr. Harrison has just gathered? Except the obviously ersonal ones, they should undoubtedly go into a ermanenl collection at the White house. They are not given to the individual, but to the president, Mr. Harrison alter March 2, 181)2, could not get so much as a pin cushion if he should travel six mouths in the United States. At thk very opening of Tuesday's ses sion of the National I'nion eonlerence a band of enthusiasts from Kansas de laved the opening appeal to the Al mighty till they had given three cheers and a tiger for their idolized hero, "Sock- less" Jerry Simpson, who had just en tered the ball, And Kansas has been said to be a particularly moral state. Therb are about 1,500 delegates to the National llnion conference at Cinci- nati and hardly any from the South. Col. Polk is not thereand it is said North Carolina is not represented at all. Fcr- hnps this is because the convention is a third party movement. The South wants nothing of that kind. Two Democrat. From tht Atlanta Constitution. "What are the presidential prospects of the New York candidates?" Amos. ). Cummings was asked. "Oh.yonmusn't ask me," be replied, "I know nothing about them. Grover Cleveland looks as well as I ever saw him in my life. I spent 6ve hours with him the other night and fonnd him in excel lent condition physically and intellectu ally. David B. Hill also looks well, and talks and acts like a democrat. Rut they are talking of candidates for governor in New York just now, and not candidates for the presidency." To a Bishop. A tad once appeared before Bishop Wilberforce forconfirmation. The bishop, feeling sore that be had confirmed bim before, beat over and said in a low tone: "My boy, I think 1 hate confirmed yon before." The lad opened bis great, wide eyes and replied; "You be a liar." A MlHtakcu "Hun"bem. For 40 or 50 years it has been the cus tom for New Yorkers to inquire "where was the tire ! whenever they see a mend or acquaintance in new clothes. This is a bit of slang absolutely peculiar to New York. It would not lie understood in Chicago any more than it would in Mel bourne or London. It is a survival of the wriod when the Volunteer lire de partment was in its fullest glory. In those days some of the "b'hoys" used to loot the stores in which tires orctnrcil and after there was a tire in a big cloth ing store the firemen npiiearcd in new suits but with their feet almost out of their shoes. Then there would lie a tire in a hoot and shoe store and all the boys would have new shoes. From those davs to this New Yorkers have hailed new garments with the question, "Where was the lire ?" X. Y. Sun. TllK most astonishing thing about the uboveis.thalit is not correct. The phrase, " where's the tire?" would, we venture to say, lie understood as the Sun explains it in at least ten states in tlu- union, and thai understanding would he based on recollections of old tire departments in towns in each of those states. CouicrvHN nan llic Power, From the New York llt-mlri. While the lad is larnili.ir to well in formed Americans that that there is not now anil never has Ikcii any lirileral law for the pi otccl ion of aliens against such violence as lias Ik-cm directed against the Italians in New Ui leans anil the Chinese in the Far West, it is not generally known that congress has the power to make such a law. Indeed, the latter state ment would be confidently combated by many. Hut its accuracy has been put hevoml doubt by the United States su preme court in a recent opinion. The question arose out ol an attempt to drive the Chinese out of a Callornia town. The ohriidcr were indicted lor conspirac" under the old Ku Mux statue and the case apiM-alcil to the supreme court at Washington. That tribunal de cided that they could not Ik- prosecuted under that act or any other on the na tional statue book. Hut it held that congress had the power to pass a law lor the protection ol aliens in every state. I his decision was based on the principle that a treaty is a supreme law the land anil the uatioiial government must have the authority to enforce its provisions.
