J. M. UHDOKR, 1 T. C. NTAHNKS, J. H. MCUOWI.LI., J For the People. MAVOR BLANTON.) W.T.REVNOI.IIS, ( J. O. BRl.VtKU, i C, H. LEONARD, I Aualnat the People. The people spoke. The aldermen heard. Did the aldermen heed ? Gaze for answer upon the namesubave given, in bold type, that there maybe no mistaking tbe attitude of Ashcville's board of aldermen, by tbe aid ol tbe city' mot worthy mayor. iV All tbe readers of The Citizkn have been following the matter of the ten-cent fare charged by the Asheville street rail way, of which "Col," J. G. Murtin is the Chiel Gnugist, ever since it was first put into Deration. The board's committee, after being as sured by "Col." Murtin that the com pany vas not making money, made a straddling majority report about as the "Col." st uted the case. Yesterday afternoon was the time, and 4:30 was the hour lor the consideration of the matter. That there was consider able interest tu ken was shown by the crowd that attended. The meeting was held in the mayor's ' slbce, thuuks to the all-seeiug eye of Mr. llrevard; and the full board was present, Mayor Blanton also attending, and occupying his accustomed seat with all the dignity of his office, Among the legal lights attending were: J.M. Gudger, F. A. Sondley, Col. K. Mc Urayer, Capt. Melvin E. Carter, Maj. VI. H. M alone, Judge Geo. A. Shulurd, Chas. A. Webb, Capt. Thomus I). John ston, T. K. Ransom and VVultcr S. Cusli mun. "Col." Martin, who several times tan talizingly rcuuested Col. McUrayer to address uiiu as "Colonel," satUuiing the lirst part of the performance rutber back Irom the arena; but rinully came nearer, and occupied his time by twisting his moustache and blowing clouds ot smoke, which latter article coquettishly insisted upon mingling with the "Colonel's" fore lock. Time was called by the mayor soon alter :du. Mr. Btarncs oioise tne ice oy moving to lane up me speciui orucr me consideration ol the ten-cent tare ques tion. Here's the "Cure-All." Mr. Brevard, who looked at the "Col ncl's" boons, arose and, without any at tempt at ostentation, offered a resolution which he thought would cover the case. He prefaced the resolution by a lew re marks, reading from the "Parinholt or dinance." He didn't think the board I ought to go back on the work of its predecessor, l he resolution ioiiows: "Be it resolved, That from the investi gation made by the committee ol the bourd, and the board itsell in reierence to the charges for passenger tare made by the Asheville street railway company, tne Hoard it ol tne opinion that there has been up t this time no violation by said rail way company in its rates of passenger fare of its rights asd privileges under its charter granted by the legislature and the former board of aldermen." Here's No Dummy. Alderman Gudger then arose ana spoke his mind in the matter. He differed with the majority report. He did not like to contend for a matter of five cents. He told of ho w a church goer wishing to go fron .lurch street to the First Baptist church, would have to pay in car fare what he bad expected to put in the plate. The company undoubtedly had a right to charge ten cents, but il ten cents is tbe maximum lare, then the ten cents should be charged for each trip, no matter how long or how short, Tbe present system is simply a deceiving ol tne entire travel- inn public. Mr. Gudger introduced the M?,"!tr .in. ,,, .H u ht, ,tr"rfj'J .a,.r "d. UVtllU u .iuuuivii, . un. .iiv i.ii iui transportation of passengers in the city of Asheville Djr tne street railroads t ur re in shall be hve cents, which shall entitle the person paying the name on one con tinuous trip to travel to any point witn in the city limits, and to effect the same it shall be the duty of the railroad com- Eaoy to which the passenger shall pay is lare to give a transfer ticket, and any connecting road or line shall upon re ceipt of same transport such passenger. And any railroad company within the city violating this ordinance either by re fusing to accept a transfer ticket, or to give one, or charee for transportation more than five cents, shall for each and every such onence, pay fine of filty dol lars. The company had no right, continued Mr. Gudger, to cut its one line up into several lines. Every decent street in the city is covered by these car lines, and every time you get on a car yon are com pelled to pay hve cents, ana wnen you transfer it is a nickel more. "But," says the compuny, we are not making money !" Why, they say they are going to put down T-rail all over the lines. The com pany certainly shows every sign of pros perity. They have violated the spirit of the charter. " Wheneverthecompany con vinces me that they are losing money, I will be tbe first to give them relief. I don't want a lawsuit out of this thing, but il it must come, I say let it come. Theie is a possibility that the company are "hogging." II we pass this ordin ance the comuanv has redress in the courts, but il we accept Mr. Brevard's resolution inepcupic wuiuniciw icuw, Mr. Starnes then moved to put the or dinance on its first reading. This car riel, and Mr. Gudger moved to suspend the rule and place it on its second and final readings, which alsocarried. Capt. Carter for the Road. Capt. M. B. Carter, attorney for the Asheville street railway company, then talked about the business. He had aot attended any of the fare meetings, be cause he thought the matter was one to be nettled by tbe board, and not by peo ple who had no official authority. Arc mass meetings to be held, and the board dictated to and spat upon, because it decided to allow the fare to remain as it now is? Do the friends of the company want to see them forced to charge ten cents oyer any one line? This is not a matter over which the people should become excited and indignant. Here tbe baard it asked to disregard a former J board s contract almost before the men 0-Jprisctet oatof town. Who wsmld wno invested tneir money iu tne canr be idiot enough to buy bond of the city after the board violated this contract f Tbe board should bravely stand by its predecessors, let him howl who will. The might mob the company's ofljeera, born the property, as may have been intimated by letters in tbe public prints, signed "Patience" and so forth, but that i should not deter the board from doing what was right and just. Capt. Carter's speech was well done, Mr. sondley Argues. F. A. Sondley, attorney for the Ashe ville street railway company, spoke next. Mr. Sondley dived deeply into the legal side of the question and made a splendid argument for his client. He read several decisions from his books which bore on the case under discussion. He became so thoroughly worked up that he ad dressed the board as "gentlemen of the jury." The company, he said, had viola ted no contract, and ought to be let alone. The argument was lengthy and covered all the legal points desired brought out for hit. side. Straight Talk. Col. Reuben UcBrayer then took tbe floor. The Colsnel was not the attor ney of anybody, representing no one ex cept himself as a private citizen. He told the board that if the wishes of the people were disregarded by the board, tbe people could have no redress. The b,oard are the representatives of the peo ule and baying been elected by them, should hear them. The street railway company was shooting with a double barreled gun. It said tint "you haven't the power," and again "If you huve the power you oughtn't use it. He was thor oughly satisfied that the board had the right to regulate the fares. A former board could not legislate a way any power of a subsequent board. The city attorney said that the board had the power to regulate the fares, continued Col. McBrayer, and he was suprised to know that the hoard was still undecided after that opinion. Every corporation getting a charter receives it knowing that new boards are elected every few rears, and that a charter was liable to change, to suit the changed condition of the city. Col. McBrayer said the only question as Is it wise to regulate the tare: doit. The Cohinel'sspeech was a strong one and would have convinced almost any man. "Tl.rce Cheers For Jim Marti..." i Capt. Cnrter made a closing euloiiium of "Col." Martin, tellim: how he had een- erously gone into his own pockets, and even mortgaged all bis property to build the lines ot railway culled for by public demands. Another mass meeting should be held, in which "Col" Martin should be commended for his great heartcdness nnd sell-sacritice. All should say "Three cheers lor Jim Martin!" Ail I'lillelNt. Mr. Gndger's ordinance was then put ! on its second reading and lost, by the , following vote, which result had keen I known to those "on the inside" for sev eral davs: Ayes Gudger, Starnes. McDowell 3. Noes I-eonarn1, Brevard, Reynolds 3. A tie resulting, Mayor Hlnnton voted 'No" and the propie were left to whis tle down the wind. Oh. He's a I- Ive-Center! Then Mr. Brevard stood up. He said he was ns much a five cent man as anyone in the city, but at the same time he wanted to be fair to tbe company, and did not want t break any contract made by the old hoard. He had seen the hooks ol tne compuny bora, lex.; K S. burroughs, Conway, S, but had not examined them item by ; C; George W. Guhagan, Chattanooga, item. He hud been told all about it, j Tcnn.; J. P.

LliUNAKU, J TROUBLE OF A FEMALE MA YOK, At the last election Mrs Puxtox was elected mayor of that place upon the ex press understanding that she would close the saloons. Immediately alter taking the office began the promised cru sade against the drinking places, and she made it exceedingly warm for some of them. Now she is asked by a large number of the business men of Kiowa to resign simply because she is doing ex actly what she promised to do. I'hila delphia Call. A man whose wile is mayor at Kiowa, Kan., has signed a very popular petition to her requesting her resignation from once. Her antagonism to the whisky shops has brought the movement about, nnd her husband's attitude in the matter furnishes a clue to the situation, sugges tive of points that are both humorous and pathetic Washington Star. The revolt against the woman who is mayor of Kiowa, Kas., because she is brave and womanly enough to enforce the law is cited by the friends of crab-like progress as an argument against the political equality of women. It is, on the contrary, one of the strongest oj ar guments in its favor, Boston Globe. The Kansas husbands are kicking against their wives who are serving as mayoresses, but they are not mntnteating any serious objections to the women folks going out into the corn and wheat fields and doing men's work there. That's different. Boston Herald. It was cruel for the husband of the fe male mayor of Kiowa, Kan., to sign the petition asking her t resign If she returns home she will be apt to attend , with unpleasant fidelity to the duty of presiding over her household.

Williams, sfthe Methodist cburck in Canada, presided over the Ecumenical Methodist council at the beginning of the tenth day's session. Hon. Chas. Foster, secretary of the treasury, made a short speech. Later there was a pause in the proceedings and then a door at the right of the pulpit opened and President Harrison entered. Everybody rose to their feet and there was a burst of applause as the president ascended to the platform. When the ap plause died awav, the president said: "Mr. chairman and gentlemen of the conference: 1 come here to make expres sion of my respect and esteem for this great body of delegates assembled ' om ull the countries ot the world, and, n uch more, to give a manifestation of mv re spect and love for that greater body of tunsuan men ana women lor wnom you stand. (Ap, lause.) "Every ecumenical conference is a dis tinct step in the direction, not only of umhcation ot tne church, but ot tbe um fication of humanity. Assembling from countries unlike intheircivil institutions, their church not wholly in accord as to doctrine and church order, you come to gether to find that unlikeness is not so great as you had thought cries of "Hear!" "Hear!" from the English dele gates and to find this common sympa thy and common purpose greater and lar ucr than you had thought large enough to overspread and extinguish all those transitory lesions and divisions. Ap plause I am glad to know that you have been in consultation as to the method and time when these minor di visions among you may be obliterated. It is the natural order that these sub divisions should be wiped out before the grand division of the church can be united. Who does not g.-eatly rejoice that the controversial teaching ol the church is less than it once was; that we hear more ot the work of the Master and His teachings of love and duty, than of hair-splitting and theological dissen sions? "I recall that many years ago, while visiting a watering place in VYiscousin, I went with some friends to a little Meth odist church in the adjoining village. The preacher tried t overthrow mv Presby- teriunism laughter . and an irreverent friend who sat beside me, as the young preacher delivered his telling blasts against Calvanism, constantly empha sized his remarks bv nudges ol his elbow. I am glad to recall that, although since then 1 have worshipped in Methodist churches, that was the last experience of tnat kind I nave had." L Hear!
