Mr RANDOLPH-KERR PRINTING CO On Xuam 8.00 a Umtm - oo Tnn MoirrBe.................. .... . ISO ORS If ORTB ........... 00 On Waa ... Is - M. .. TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 8. 1891. The Asheville and Sulphur Spring, electric railway, charges only a 10 cent fare for a four mile ride in the country, where passengers get oa only at its termini. The AsheYille street railway charge! a 10-cent fare for riding two milei in the heart ol Ashcrille, where pas senger get on at almost every foot air .it; the lines. And yet the Asheville street railway says that it is forced to make this charge as a"busiuess necessity." What It Coats) to Has Electric Railway In other Towns. For the information of the Asheville public, and Uuj. Martin as well, the fol lowing extracts from an interview with Thomas Lowry, president sf the St. Paul and Minneapolis rail way, taken from the Electrical World, of New York, will be considered as good authority. Mr. Lowry, among other things, speaks thus of the length ol the haul they make oyer their road lor one S-cent fare, tbecostef operating, and the net earnings of their lines : "One can now trayel by our electric line from the north side of Minneapolis to St. Paul parks, over 20 mies, upon a transfer check. I hare iust received from the west the first monthly report of the Minneaoo is street railway system, in which no horse account appears. It shows gross earnings for July of $107, 571 and expenses of $52,585 and net earnings of $54,985. This shows ex penses of less than 49 per cent, for oper ating and 1 leel pertcctly suretnac wunin two years we shall be operating our en tire electric system of 215 miles in two cities for less' than 40 per cent, tar ex pense8." Mr. Lowry says further: "The line of our heaviest traffic, 9'i miles, beween Minneapolis and St. Paul shows only 35 per ccnt.ol a fire ceut fare as cost of pcrating. Now, Major Martin's organ, the Moun tain Home Journal, aunouueed a few days ago that the gross earnings of the Asheville street railway for the month ot August was oyer $5,000. Allowing, that the extra cost, by rea son of Major Martin's heavy grades, would put the operating expenses of the Asheville system at 75 per ceut., the net income tor August should not be less than $1,250. At this rate the Asheville street ruilwar should pay its stockholders, placing the stock at $100, 000, 12' -i per cent, per annum in the way of dividends. This ought to be enough, and, accord ing to Major Martin's argan, it should be no less. Does this look as though Asheville ought to be called upon to help out this struggling corporation by submitting to a 10-cent fare ? Tbe University Redevlovua. The announcement recently made that the University of North Carolina has entered upon its new session with two hundred and twentv-five students is worthy of the grateful and thoughtful consideration ot tbe friends of that insti tution as well as of all the friends of higher education in this state. It is evi dence that the people begin to realize what is their duty to the institution, and more important still, that the insti tution proves itself worthy of the solici" tude it has enlisted. There is no question that the liberation of tbe University from its old and intlex ble curriculum, the adaptation of its sys tems to the more immediate and practi cal uses of education, the wider range of its course and the thoroughness of its in struction, have inspired a recognition of the value and usefulness of a university training the public were long reluctant to give. That such training had distin guished merit was proved by observa tion upon tbe historic record of the state, illustrated from the very opening of this century with names that brought honor to the University, to the state and to the nation. But the public believed it had reason to question the wisdom of a sys tem which seemed to be ia itself only a preparation for those most arduous studies essential to the attainment of snbsequent fame and fortune. The pub lic wanted something in itself complete, something implied by the term- "educa tion ;" something that enabled the young man armed with his University creden- J tials to step out at once upon the arena of active life, fully equipped to engage in the battle for which be had prepared himself. This seems to be attained by tbe sys tems now in use, thorough, liberal, prac tical, and such as does away with those long years of waiting, often of relearsing, which fact is the lot of the college grad uate, however learned he may have proved himself to be by virtue of the po session of bis diploma. The diploma now given mean not only "learned" but "ready," a vast difference to the army of ambitious, but poor young men who can not afford to wait on the long years needed to prove the thoroughness of their equipment. Much of the happy charge of sentiment toward the university is due to the in fluence of its faculty, energetic, able, vir tuous young men, most of the North Carolinians, many of them educated in the University whose destinies they sow guide, and several of them proving them selves in experience in the institntioas of other states the equals of all com pet itors. The theme is full one, and worthy of elaboration. At present we can only add the expression of our satisfaction that Asheville is to liberal in its patronage. Thirteen young men from this city alone, at one tim, is larger than the whole of Western North Carolina has ever con tributed at any one time. And this is tbe more remarkable because that dis tinguished son of Buncombe, David L Swain, solicitor, judge, governor, pre sided over the destinies of the university with constantly growing favor for thirty years. . Let the west remember and honor the University of North Carolina. A WOMAN'S RHYMES AND REASONS. Probably ever since Eve prepared Adam's first cup of coffee, tempted his morniag appetite with porridge and laid for him a solid foundation for dyspepsia with fresh fruit cake, men have been say ing to their wives and one another: "A woman can't cook any how; all the fa mous cooks are men. Do you suppose Vanderbilt, Astor or Depew would have a woman in his kitchen ?" And in like fashion when, yielding to a vigorous pull, a button parted company with its proper garment, they have exclaimed: "Women don't half sew; it takes a man to make a tailor." So it does, ye lords of creation, and nine tailors to make a man. Women concede this willingly, and are generously leaving vacant lor the grumblers the vocations of cook and seumslress. Women today are rapidly monopolizing the places long held sacred m- at the desk, behind the counter and in the professions; while scores of men, of average abilities, are seeking em ployment, and uundredsare"going west" where the working woman still pursues them. But our kitchens are mismanaged in the north by ignorant foreigners and in tbe south by the blacks; while matrons, voung and old. are forever asking. " W here can 1 get a good seamstress?" Why then, do not some of these compe tent men, assume the occupations where in they have so long declared their pow er to shine with the brilliancy of a well blacked range or a cambric needle as ma nipulators of stewpsns and wieltlers of thimble and shears? How boldly and with what seeming impunity good people who would not steal a penny loaf or a yard of cotton, take for their own the work of another's brain. It isn't strange that the literary spider who is forever spinning and spin ning, who builds his house and fashions its furnishings from his own marrow and sinew, should sometimes set the loom in motion and find that there is no mate rial at hand, to convert first into a tale or poem and then transmute into gold and silver. But it is pitiable, that be should in such a dilemma, appropriate the delicate web that a lellow spider has woven and left glint ing in an out-of-the-way-corner. Every day the reader notes this petty literary larceny. A magazine of fiction recently printed as original an elaborate version of Edgar Allan Poe'scbarncteristic sketch, "An Oval Portrait." And a well-itnown newspaper contributor appropriated, not long ago, a charming tale from tbe At lantic Monthly; even while the readers of the magazine were cutting its pages and eitjoyiug the storv in questi in, it was converted into a bit of pretended personal reminiscence to furnish the hurried, over worked and not too honest spider with the wherewithal lor a month's spiu at the seashore. How doth the electric company, Improve each shining hour, By picking off the currents, From many a gruesome tower! But we, alas, are weary 01 stumbling in 'lie dark So very dense that we can hear It falliug, if we hark. So let the people who've agreed To brighten up our night, Just put this in their pipes to smoke It they can rind a light ! I think the gentle sex have been accused long enough of snapping at bargains and buving things they don't want simply because they are cheap. That is a kind of economy that only tbe keeper of the family purse indulges in. Women know what they want and no matter what the price, will have it, if they can afford it; while men buy things they reallydon't know what to do with, just because they are cheap. As, for instance, a woman paving up into the hundreds for a good cow that she really aeeded, and a man, who hadn't a bit of laws as large as a pocket handkerchief, buying a Jersey yearling because it cost onlva small sum. Becky Sharp. "The Clllsen'a" Opinion Too. Prom the Statevrillc Landmaik. The Landmark has no stock whatever in the theory that a rail was loosened or misplaced in the recent wreck. The train was running 35 or 40 miles an hour at the time of the accident and the second class car was well ou the bridge when it jumped the track. The engine must have been very nearly across, and from the condition of the track west of the bridge, the engine was evidently dragged back and off the ralis by tbe weight of the train pulling upon it as tbe cars went down.
