ASHEVILLE DAILY CITIZEN: TUESDAY EVENING, MA5T 2G. 1801. ASHEVILLE DAILY CITIZEN. By RANDOLPH-KERR PRINTING CO. Tb Daily Crnnn, Democratic, la published every afternoon (except Sunday) at the fol lowing rats, strictly cua ; On Yb $6.00 Six Montiii S.oo Tusks Months. 1.80 Onk Month 60 UNI Wiek...... ................. IB TUESDAY. MAY 26, 1891. The Morttiern Settler Coaren lion at Kalelgb. The interest of the press and of the people of North Carolina in the asscnv blage of northern settlers in Raleigh lies in the fact that the pretence and the tes timony ol such men bear emphatically and influential!; upon the subject of iui migration to which all eyes are now directed. The need of farther accession to our population, the addition of more capital to our fin ancial demands, of more uses far our unapplied resources, arc things that nene of us are blind to. But the people at large are disposed to dictate what the class and character ul the immigration must be. In this the; arc right, and, after the recent experience ol some purts of ourcountiy, are more than erer justified in exacting conditions. Now, m the previous experience ol North Carolina, its people have received precisely the class of immigrants the; would have selected in making a choice. They have received and welcomed, and will continue gladly to do so, the men of New England and other northern states, of Ohio and other northwestern slates, men of special habits and pursuits. For many years representatives of this class have been in thestate,and a report is asked of their experience as incentives and en couragement to others ut the north to follow them. We are sure they will not testify to disappointment. Some of this class here came as partisans; good citizens and useful men they arennd have been, and that they still remain partisans is the most convincing prottf that they have been undisturbed in the utterance of their views, though their opinions may have been combated by the press and on the hustings. These, as well as the lawyer, the doctor, the teacher, the artisan, the farmer are wanted at the convention, and we are very glad Ashcville sent a del egation todav to the meeting on the -'7th. A Convention Hull. The suggestion is made, to meet a call by Thk Citizen's wide awake "Tattler" for a "convention hull," that one or another of the tobacco warehouses could be over hauled and used for the meeting of lare bodies of delegates here. But the kind of conventions that Ashe ville wants for the money that is in them do not meet in tobacco barns, however thoroughly renovated. They meet in some of the finest structures in the coun try hnest, trmt is, tor convention pur poses, with numerous committee rooms ample accommodation for spectators, and particularly a hall whose acoustic properties are as nearlv perfect as mod ern science can make them. A building adopted to convention purposes need not be so very expensive either, and could be utilized for entertainments gen erally and would be an especuil incentive to the forming of a musical society that could draw support from all North Car olina at least. This whole matter is perhaps far in the future, but it must be recalled mxv and then that Asheville's future is of a kind to demand the best that's going. The more tobacco barns, the better; we can ot have too mauy of them; but a con ventian hall we should have too. By the way, what has become of the casino project of which we heard something a year or so ago? Haywood (street. The report made to the board of alder men last night on the Haywood street widening takes the right position. Of course, to widen the street to GO feet will work some injury to a few property owners there, but it would also vastly improve the street and abutting lots, and within six months the owners who now think they will be injured bv widening the street would not on any induccmcn go back to Haywood street as it is at present. As for putting the street car track at one side of the street, that ought not to be done. It would be a con stant inconvenience and a menace to lite and limb. The world over, we look for, and give room to, street cars in the mid die of streets, not close to sidewalks, where children may be plnvinr and teams temorarily fastened. The fact is, that on the present Haywood street there is no room for car tracks. The street must be widened if they arc put down. Now that Congressman Houk is dead it is possible the democracy of Eastern Tennessee may claim its own. But while Houk, a man of no mean talent, lived the thing was as impossible as for alliance democrats to vote against Vance. Houk had Eastern Tennessee solid for Houk, Every new baby, whatever its color, was called Leonidus Cicsar, and liouk's speeches were gospel within their terri tory. Like the ancient kings Houk could do no wrong. Had he vices, they were as other men's virtues. He was a re markable politician. Tennessee will never sec bis like again. Tub visiting physicians are welcome. They will have good time and go back home to find strange finding some of their patients improved by their absence. Their' the doctors', not the patients' it noble profession. There is none nobler, none that requires a broader guaged man to fill completely, among all the callings human necessity has given birth to; and one of these days there will be such a thing aa a science of medicine, and then wc shall all be happy and healthy. May North Carolina talent and brains hasten the dayl FlFTV-TUBBE new doctors will seem to be a good many ; but if they are all as intelligent, progressive and faithful as the average physician in Ashcville and at good looking at tbedelegatet that are at present in the midst of us, there will be so complaint. . ES A RELIC OP THE PAHT, The House Where the Nnmerout Brown Family OrlKluated. Prom the Salisbury Watchman. About three miles east from Salisbury s the "old stone house." The house is built of pure spilt granite, is about 22x 30, two stories high, and contains six rooms. 1 he story is two feet thick una the second is eighteen inches thick. Evidently it was built for delence. Oil one of the stones in the front Bide of the building is the following inscription: "UlCIIAliL llRAl'U" "1776." Then follows a number of letters sup posed by some to have been the initials of Mr. Kruun's children, as follows; "T, ()., T. E., M. E., U. E., M. J , C. II., D. A." "Braun" is n Scotch way of spelling Brown." Mr. Brown, a ileeeudent of Michael ''Braun." the builder of the house resides there now. The house was first covered with cy press shingles hauled on a wagon from Charleston, S. C. 1 he cement used huddim; the wall was made bv miming mussels shells, which were also hauled from Charleston. The roof has been re placed twice and it needs it again. The house was plastered when first built, the laths are pine split. One of the fireplaces s nine feet wide. In the rooms the h re places arc in the vomers of the building Hundreds ol people have visited the place. The walls contain the names ol prominent editors in New York, Boston Kiclimonil, Washington Chicago, Lin- cinnuti, Atlanta ami other cities. DEMOCRATIC DKH-CTKIN. How to Stop It So ou as We Have Hvariin. Prom the Kttlrigh 1 hroniclc- Thcsurc and safe way to prevent ilcni icratic defection is to present to the world a clean cut contrast between the democratic and republican parties upon financial questions, the relorin of the tar ilf, the giving of bounties, the subsidizing of vessels, the sjiccial favors of banks, the wasteful extravagance in public cxiwiiili- ture, the extravagant anil eon apt 'ii sion system in a word, the contrast be tween republican favoritism ami class leg islation and democratic "equal rights to all mid special privileges to none," must lie so emphasized that the most ignorant cannot fail to see the wide ililleience lie- twecti the parlies. No student ol histnrv needs anr additional prool thai the dem ocratic party is and litis ever been the foe of tariff roblierv under the name of pro tection, ol contracted currency, and ex travagant appropriations. The democratic partv is not responsible for any ot the events complained of bv the fanners. At every stage it has pro tested against the legislation which has wrought oppression. ATLANTA Vt KITi; ll'ti. Tliev lire AIwhvh Felile Allalrn and COHlljr. From the Winston Senti'tcl. The Kockinghniu Kockct pronounces the "long looked for write up" of that town, which appeared in the Atlanta Journal, "a very feeble affair," What it cost is not stated, but unless it is differ ent from the average "write-up" in the papers of other States the victims paid pretty liberally tor it. The "write-up" business has been so extensively done in the country that it is surprising that the jieople haven't eaughl on to it before now and sized it up. But it is a re markable fact that these mripatetie iieu- eil-shovers can go into almost anvof our towns ami snake more money out ol ft for a couple of columns of chaff in a pa pcr which the contributors know little or nothing about than oneor all of the local papers could get lor belter work ill the same line in twelve months.

Brother Abcrnalhv, of the Rutherford college, has been to New York city in the effort to secure aid for rebuilding his col lege, lie did not meet with much suc cess in Gotham, if we are to jndgc by a letter which he writes to the Slatesvillc Christian Advocate.

We are a patient people the ox is nowhere in comparison Webuy lamp-chimneys by the dozen; they go on snapping and popping and flying in pieces; and we go on buying the very same chimneys year after year. Our dealer is willing to sell us a chimney a week for every lamp we burn a hundred or more a year and we plow for him, pay him for goading us. Macbeth's "pearl top" and " pearl glass " do not break from heat; they are made of tough glass. As likely as not our dealer would rather his chimneys would break; " it's good for the business," says he. He buys the brittlest ones he can get. " What are you going to do about it?" Pittsburg. Gio.
