ASHE VILLE DAILY CITIZEN TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 10 181)2. ASHEVILLE DAILY CITIZEN. Bj RASDOLPH-KERR PRINTING CO Tarn Dailt Crrnm, Democratic, it published erery aom (except Sunday) t the fol- lowiac MM-Mifcw cms : One Ykak... 8ix MONTHS......... Thus months... Ohi Mouth ......... Oke W ........ $A.OO .. 8.00 .. 1.60 .. 60 .. 15 TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 16. 1892. If Gen. R. A. Alger had brains enough to be president of the United States, he would nerer have undertaken to estab lish hit own reputation as a soldier by casting reflection upon Gen. Custer. Custer is a much bigger man dead, than Gen. Alger ever was or will.be alive. Thb Citizen wants tt see sound and solvent bonds lor the faithful perform ance at their work filed, by the contrac tors with the city before they go to work. No straw or other kind of pad ding will do. The.'money is inhaud to pay for the work, and when it is done it should be according to plans, and speci fications even to the splitting)!' a buir, That's right. Thb Rutherford Banner should be pre sented with sufficient money by its pat rons to buy a new outfit of type. Oc casionally a copy of the paper can be read by a person with good eves if close attention is given, and it has good stufl in it, but about 48 weeks out of the year the subscribers are unable to read enough bf the matter to find out whether the Banner is democratic or republican. Buy it a new dress it deserves it. Thb Citizen today publishes the first fa series of biographical sketches oi prominent North Carolinians, written by students of the state university at C hapel Hill. This is one of Presidciit Winston's new departures, and is a valuable one, not only for the students, but the state at large. It is preparing history, and will no doubt be appreciated by the pub lic. Thb Citizu.n will be one ot a num ber of papers in the state to publish these sketches as thev mav be orenared irum time to time. There are a number of democratic papers throughout the country who are now loading their guns with personal abuse of D. B. Hill, taken Irom republi can exchanges. These journals should be careful what they do. In the first place, no democratic paper cau afford to print as facts charges preferred against a dem ocrat by republicans, and iu the next place, it is possible that Hill mav carry the democratic banner this fall, and then they will find themselves coiit'reiiteU with the unpleasant alternative of bult iag their party's nominee or of eating a sight of crow. L'r to Saturday last oi the delegates chosen to the New York stateconvention 63 were for Hill and 3 for Cleveland. There is no doubt about that body's being overwhelmingly for Hill, and there is just as little doubt about the tame result being accomplished had the convention been held May 22 instead oi February 22. The advantage to Hill in the early convention is not the secure ment ol New York's delegation, but the effect his getting that delegation wi have upoa other states is the point he is after. That his desire is human none will doubt, but whether itisgood politics remains to be seen. LIFE IN NORTH CAROLINA. Henderson Gold Leaf: It is thought that as a general thins the farmers ol this section will go in more lor bread and bacon this year than tnev nave oeen doing. -Wilmington Star: An attempt was made Friday night to burn Mr. H.

IJ T1IK RliAUTV WORLD, 0 3 H S 3 H 59 S B no, Aabcville's) Future. Over three hundred thousand dollars are now in the banks to Asheville's credit. And this money is to be spent on im provements, the lack of which has clogged the wheels of tie city's progress almost since the day it began to expand Irom the modest country village of the mountains to the splendid city it now stands, with a name and a fame extend ing from one end of the republic to the other. Even those who have loved Ashevill least have only been able to say that it had no streets or sidewalks. This has been the beginning and the end of the only objection that has ever been urged against it. With this solitary drawback removed Asheville will stand without a peer as an all the year 'round resort in the United States. Her superior climate has not only been attested by the most famous physicians and climatalegists of this country, but a comparison of its record with those of European resorts, shows that it has no superior in the world. That this is true, it is only nec cessary to point to the number ol men, able to look the world over far a home, who have taken up their residei.ee here. Is less than ten years Asheville will be the centre of the wealthiest residence portion of the United States. Men who have broken themselves down mentally and physically in their fight for riches will look to this city as a heavea of rest, Its gentle winds and genial sunshine are a balm for the ills of life that can be found nowhere else in such sure aid boun tiful profusion. With our streets converted into mag nificent boulevards and the adjacent roads transformed into splendid drives the one thing lacking will have been supplied. The money for the accomplishment ol this desideratum is in hand. Its Intelligent and honest expenditure is new the individual concern of every citizen of Asheville. - Upon this haugi the destiny of the city. The official that wonld connive at a job, or a citizen that would put a straw in the way of the accomplishment of this object, de serves the execration of every one who " desire to ace Asheville fulfill her destiny To apend this money wisely will re quire sound business judgment, cool heads, and integrity of the highest order, Asheville stands today upon an emi nence from which every one with eyes to : set can discover the greatness wnico na- tun intended ahould be beta.- What is) Transpiring In the Way ot Uirt TrauHacttouM.

It ts an interesting fact that en the very day when Mr. Bland icported bis free silver coinage bill in the house, silver sold in London at the lowest price ever known 41 pence per ounce. This makes the amount ot silver in a standard dollar worth about 66Va cents. Everv one can appreciate what an advantage it would be to the producers of silver to be able to sell this much bullion for a dollar, or in other words to dispose of their entire stock at an advance ot nfty per cent upon the prevailing market pi ice. That the introduction of a bill to this effect did not check the downward movement ot the metal indicates that the commer cial world does not believe that the Bland bill will become a law.

C . lanuary 18. I The Asheville Tobacco Works, a corporation created under the laws of North Carolina, was organized 'or the manufacture of pl'ig and smoking tobacco three years ago. and has done a prosp rotis business with an ever-increasing trade The orders that come in for to onceo are earelully looked over and goods are only shipped to those parties well rated and known to be s dvcut. ,(i The policy of the company Is conservative. The directors meet once a month to audit accounts and transact nil necessary business. Since the formation of thi stoi k company it has obtained control of the only cigarette machine in America outside of the cigarette trust that is, "The American Toiiaco t. ompany." The profit in machine made cigarettes is 1 ire, varying Irom about fifty to one hundred per cent. The business is practically cash, as cigarettes are sold for cash or on short time The Asheville Tobacco Works can sell all the cigarettes they make at a handsome profit Of fers hnve come from responsible parties to take the whole output The present capacity is l (Hii n ten hours w tin one macnine.
