MR. WOIFE'I SIDF. THURSDAY. MARCH 24, 1892. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES. Mr. Mills, of Texas, has been elected to be a senator from his state. He might have been much more useful to his party and to the country in the house. Thr Aoril number of the Forum will contain a group of articles on "Tin Crisis of the Democratic party," to which the Hon. William L. Wilson, Mr. Frederic R. Coudtrt. and Mr. Matthew Hale contribute. So it appears that the city road ele phant had a blanket, but some unt'celiny nan-taxpayer stole it probably lor hi cow these cold niL'hts. The man who would uncover so much of cold ugliness would more rather than pay rent, and that is a mighty mean kind of man. Isaac C. Maynard, now judge of the New York Court of apieals, has been found puilty by the bar association ol New Yorkcity of tampering with election returns, and the legislature will be asked to remove him. He was promoted tn his office bv Gov. Hill alter the act now complained of was done. The lawyers decision was almost unanimous against him. Tub most cheering sight of the winter was the excavations and tuniieliugsouthe souare vesterdav that revealed the new pavement gone but n.t forgotten There were samples of all kinds of soil tr be removed even some of the far laiiiei sand that enwrapped the mystery of tin yellowrlcpths ot suicidal Sandy Mush No over-pay checks were, however brought to light; they are to come later Tun most unfeeling brute continues to be the kind of brute that every large col lege has too many of. Yale "students threw snow balls at an actress on the New Haven stage the othernight, knock ine her down. An actor at her side of fered to fight the man who threw the ball but. as he miuht have been expected, he proved to be a coward as well as brute and refused to take the stage ai be whipped. After the performance t actress was assailed in the streets, bin the "students were beaten oil by one man, the same who had oll'ered to di fend the actress on the stage. FUR .)SO. The meeting this year of the Xorll L'arulinn Fruit fair association can Ik secured to Asheville for the modest, al most insignificant sum ol 5.0.1!) as a euarante: fund that inavand may not lie called tor. This fair is generally held in August and is something that annually attracts visitors from all parts of the state, to the considerable profit ol the town that secures the attraction. Asheville should have this fair this year, and it has only to put in its bid to get it. The Durham Globe, which wants the fair for its town which isn't in it when Asheville competes says ot the attrac tion : "Since the organization of the Fruit Fairassociationannualexhibits ol North Carolina fruits, in their natural and manufactured state, have been held at various points over the state and the crowds of visitors winch have cjme from near anil far to view the truly great and wonderlul array have gone home more than ever impressed with the possibilities ot our soil and climate and the vast and undreamed of resources ol the most lavored state in the union. "To the most devoted student of the horticulture art and the most enthusias tic believer in the state's productive powers in the matter of flowers and fruits, the display has been a revelation and a triumph. "The fact that the cost of this fair is rcallv nothing, the gate receipts never having failed to pay all expenses, 111 eluding premiums, causes every town 111 the state to be a bidder and to woik to RU it." And all for a guarantee of $oo0. Dr. Faust, ot Graham, Alamance county is the man to lie consulted in this matter. TWO FREE SILVER FACTS Congressman Crawford ot the Ninth district is reported as speaking in favor of Bland's silver bill. A brief summary of his remarks is sent out as follows: "Did not the tirade against tree coin aire of silver come trom the great money centres of the country, whose great and mammoth wealth had been built up speculation in stocks and gold at the ex pense of the laborers? Did not the gen lemanfrom Ohio (Mr. llarter) know that the statements made by him were Did he not know that a ilver dollar was equal to a gold dollai and was ordinarily preferred to it ?" This same argument would favar bill for the free printing ot rags into paper money, for the paper dollar is pre ferred to both the gold and the silver dollar as being easier handled. We hold. however, that it is almost, if not quite impossible to fortell what would be the rffert of free coinavie of silver. Two things are certain in this connection: One is that the silver men of the west would be able to sell their product at a profit of at least 100 per cent., some thing all of us would like to do, una tne other is that to get the free coined-silver dollar it would be necessary to. work for it at least as hard as now. Gone GHniniertiiK. From the Raleigh News and Observer. The sub-treasury is gone. In need not be discussed any more. It has been sup planted by this new method of relief and it is irone where the woodbine twineth. The truth is, the people of the northwest would have none ol it, ana ttie tlnril nnit will discard it in their platlorm. Col. Polk will net stand on a sub- treasury platform this summer.

Editor This Citizen: ou seem to have lieen misinformed in reffcrence to the chnng of grade 011 Southeast couit place as appeared in yesterdays issue ot The Citizun. We never have by word or act acqui esced in the coniving of Mr, Pearson ind the board of aldermen in reffcrence to this mutter. The truth is this grade was established over five years ago by the city when the engiue-r gave it to us and vc built our house to it all that part of the square was to be leveled up. this was long ueioie any luurnci uuusc or Pearson interest were uiouyni ui. Over one year ago Richmond Pearson without leave or license from .ny one changed this guide and left our house standing i uel above the street the city uthoniics shortly alter coniirmeu wnat Mr. l'caisoii commenced. 1 Ins graue was cnunu.eu in .ir. rcarsoii 10 mam is own propcrlv more acccssuhle which lie had just previous to that lime pur- cliuscu east ol our Punning ami me put) lie square. The recent work done hv the city is simpiy carrying out wnat Air. t'earsou commenced. In our suit with Mr. Pearson for $3,1100 the judge chaigcd the jury that we would not lie allowed to recover any pcrinciicul Uammagc tne property may have sustained by reason ol change ol raiie, hut only interest on the principal ol such dauuuage tor not longer than 30 ilavs, we might also recover lor the put lull! the dui back. When the truth is All Pt arson nor ourselves were not al- wed to replace it. This would have been a violation ol a city ordinance. 1 lie changing ol tlic floors of our store to coiiionn to the grade now tstablishcd will incur an expeuee upon us ol not less than sC'imki besides the total destruction if the basement. Tins tni-un v would have awarded us if it could have gone to theui ou a ques tion ol actual damages to the property. It seems to us pretty hard that the city loin witn .Mr. rcarsoii in tne destruction ol our property without allowing us one cent ol compensation However we have implicit confidence 111 the courts 111 the further consideration of this matter. We dout biluvea wrong so grievous and uiahtious can go entirely unpunished even liiough the gulltv parties do tor a time attempt to hide behind every lech nicalitv ol the law.

Polk?

Hut Found Aicatu. I;rom Yale Keconl. "There," said tbe captain as Jonah was tossed overboard, "that's a clear case ol prophet and loss." A Ureal Kxplonloul 111 these days ot gunpowder, dynamite, giant powder, and the like, tremendous explosions are no rarity, but the greatest explosion of modern times is, without doubt, that of the "old-school" idea that consumption is incurable. Thousands of lives have been sacrificed to this mis taken notion. Modern research has es tablished the tact that consumption is a scrofulous disease of the lungs, and that there is one remedy which will positively eradicate it from the system Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Ot course, there were in te olden times many who would have pronounced modern explo sives instruments ot witchcraft; but there are, fortunately, few today who do not acknowledge that the "Golden Medical Discovery" is the one sovereign remedy for all scrofulous diseases, and consump tion is one of them.

Reynold' Hollcy. In Tub Citizun of March o the follow ing item appeared: "The late W. T. Reynolds held a $5. (100 policy in the I'rovideut savings and lile assurance company. 1 he proofs ol his deatli were sent to the state agent, J. lones, Greensboro, several weeks agjo, hut the policy has never been puid. There is no agent ot the company in Asheville." The tacts in the uayment of this policy are these according to the statement ot the agent, . S. Jones: The proofs ol death sent to the company were received on February 15, but the policy, accord ing to the contract on its face, was not. payable until May 15. Mr. Reynolds had lost Ins policy, ami his estate could not have recovered the amount without establishing the claim by due process of law, which would have involved unnec essary expense and loss ol time to the es tate, it the company had seen tit to con test it. Mr. oues at once had the com pany issue a duplicate policy, and as soon as this was done, the claim was audited and ordered paid in full, nearly three months before it wus due. Th': Provident Savings has never al lowed one of its losses to remain unpaid until maturity since its organization, and while its rate ot cost per $1,000 to the policy bolder is among the cheapest, it is excelled by none in the solvency ot its assets and the promptness with which it pays its losses. Mr. ones is one of the best agents in the business, and attends personally to the payment of claims. Judge E.J.

As a people we are "rolling stones" of the most pronounced type, and that not altogether without reason. Tbe fertile plains and valleys and the rich mineral districts of the great west and north west have always attracted the home seeker, the miner and speculator, and as last as one region has been filled up an other has been opened, and so the tide of emigration has continually surged towards tbe setting sun. Notwithstand ing the great numbers which have been pouring into the states of Oregon and Washington for the last four years, the present season will see many more, and information concerning the Pacific Northwest is eagerly sought for. The comprehensive pumphets issued by tbe Passenger Department of the Union Pa cific are the most thorough and exhaus tive publications on Oregon and Wash ington now before the public, as in like manner the "Original Overland Route" is the best road to take in going to this magnificent regeoh. as.

The strength of the company as evidenced in ratio of assets to liabili ties is $261.77 to each $100 which is the best showing of any company in the United States.

As an evi dence of the skill and ability of the state manager, we understand Mr. Jones has written upwards of sit million dollars of insurance in North Carolina alone, upon the representative men of the state since he has had charge of the business, and has placed three hundred and fifty thou sand dollars in Greensboro alone.
