SO On Web 15 WED NESDAY. FEBRUARY 17, 1892 Tub Charlotte News 'now receives the ful Associated Press dispatches for after noon papers. This is a valuable acquisi tion t this busy news gatherer's facili ties, and pushes it still higher up the lad der of excellence. Charlotte will respond to such enterprise. If thb Raleigh News and Observer had given The Citizen credit for the sketch of Judge Geo. A. Shuford, vt hich it pub lished in full as its own, it would have looked decidedly better from the stand point of journalistic courtesy, tit say nothing of simple justice. Thb placing of $60,0U0 in cash into the vaults of each of Ashevillc's four banks, at tour per cent, interest, will cer tainly materially aid those institutions in running hard times so far away from Asheville that before they can get buck this town will have gone on to perma nent prospeiity. And this is a most agreeable reflection. If the committee appointed to investi gate Green B. Ruum, commissioner ol pensions, does its duty laithfully, and does not find a campaign document that will make thousands of democratic votes this fall, then Tiik Citizen will ar rive at one of two conclusions either Raum has more honesty or the commit tee less sagacity than either have been credited with. LIFE IN NORTH CAROLINA. A part of the much-talked-of new issue of Asheville city bonds has at last been sold. Blair & Co., 33 Wall street, New York, have bought $3,(100 worth at par, "10 per ceut. commission." Char lotte Chronicle. If Dr. Caldwell will do Asheville the justice to drop iu a 3 just to the left ol his 4 and make it read $343,000, all will be forgiven. Aud you may add, Doctor, that the money is in the bank, the con tracts for the street paving let, and thai the wheel is going 'round and 'round so fast you can't see the spokes. Amos J. Ci mminos, the able New York congressman aud brilliant correspondent of the New York Sun, seems to have con ceived a good sized disgust tor VY. S. Holman aud his style ol economy as de monstrated it. the treatment ol I tic mili tary academy bill. Cummiiigs evidently thinks there is such a thing as bcu.j; niggardly as well as economical. Thi present collapsed condition ol I'nclc Sam's treasury demands very close trim ming iu expenses, however, and Holuiau is perhaps excusable. Fighting the McKiulcy bill alter the "homeopothic method," as Mr. Mills calls it, may not suit such vigorous na tures as the courageous Texan, but il the present congress can pass bills put ting wool, cotton ties, cotton bagging, and the machinery which is used in mak ing them, on the free list, and let tin president veto them, and then adjourn early and go to their districts and tell the story, and what it means, to their constituents, it will prove to be mighty sound polities, if not very heroic. The Ohio gerrymander, whereby the republicans will elect 16 out of the Ul congressmen in that state, seems t be in a fair way of being accomplished. As The Citizen has before remarked, a gerrymander is about the dirtiest thing known to modern politics. In view ol President Harrison's horroratthe Michi gan gerrymander, and the further fact that Governor McKinley demanded a fair reapportionment in Ohio in his re cent message to the legislature, it is easy to see that republican "preachin' and practice don't gee." A gerrymander in the hands of democrats is bad enough, but the way the republicans handle it is infamous. Tvptiua Fever. It if a most serious thing that typhus fever has been landed in New York eitv from a steamer loaded with Russian im migrants. There were some four hun dred of these unfortunate refugees from famine, and after landing they scattered to the forewinds before it was known that there was any typhus among them, and it now transpires that nearly one hundred cases of this dreadful disease have developed in New York. How many of them have gone to other cities is of course unknown. This typhus, or spotted fever, is de clared to be the same as the great plagues which have swept over Europe in times past, carrying untold thousands to the grave. It is declared to be both contagious and infectious, and it is im possible to guess where it will break out next when it once gets a foothold. New York is unquestionably very much alarmed and the health officers of that city are doing all that skill and industry, combined with with unlimited money can accomplish to stamp it out in its very incipiency. It is stated by the New York papers that the warm weather of spring is the most favorable season for the propnga tion of this scourge, and they are daily urging the authorities to increase their dilligenct in fighting the monster. At last accounts it was thought to be under control, though two cases were discovered by the health authorities Sunday. Another steamer load of immi grants arrived on that day, and all rented to be well but one woman, who waa sick with a raging fever, thought by the officials to show typhus symp tom!. None of the passengers will be allowed to land until all danger is passed. It il thought the influx of immigrants will be very much lessened by the rigid and long continued quarantines which have been established. The floors of the erocerv department of Hinshaw & Medcuris, at Winston, tell lu Sunday. No oue was injured. The loss is some $.',000. James H. Abell died very suddenly at his home, at Suiilhlicld, Sunday morning of cerebral apoplexy just ashewas start. nig to chui cli. He wasbJ years old, ana was one ot the leading lawyers iu that section. Raleigh lawyers want to find Mary Putlick, an old maid who used to live there. It she can be louud she will get a large share of $400,UoO. Une of Hie I'uuicku James, died some years ago iu Louisiana. The executive committee of the peo ple's party iu Vance county, is composed ol tour lkgroes, two white republican; and lliree dissalislied democrats. Six republicans to three democrats is the personnel ol tlie committee. Mrs. Allied W. Haywood, daughter of Governor Holt, has been invited to christen t lie cruiser Kakigliat the Gos port navy yard.

The verdict is doubtless a just one, the evidence that he had taken illegel lees being conclusive. 1 Here is some loubt as to whether lie knew that the taking of these lees was extortion in law, as lie seems to have known litt or nothing about laws that related to the manner in which lie should discharge Ins dunes.

Editor Tub Citizkn: What ia the matter with the city lights? The moon is doing pretty good work at present but her period of inandescenc is almost past and the city is filling up with Tiai tors. Can nothing be done to get the streets lighted? The company whit- has the contract for lighting the town appears to huye receded from the city all the aid it asked, having obtained a renewal of its contract last full tor three years at an increased price, and yet there have been no lights lor several nights past. With the bonds sold and work begun on the streets, it will look bad for the tewn to be in utter darkness until u new plant can be set np for light ing. In the meantime, cannot something be done to secure lights from the Ashe ville Light & Power company, whose arc circuit is complete. Met chant. February 16, 1892. Falae Economy.
