LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
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.

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.

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

In our suit with Mr. Pearson for
$3,1100 the judge chaigcd the jury that
we would not lie allowed to recover any

have sustained by reason ol change ol

such dauuuage tor not longer than 30

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

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

It seems to us pretty hard that the city

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.

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. Aston is the Asheville ngent

Rolling Hloucu.
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

Extract from dcenshoro (N. C.) Record.
Cheat), Safe, Prosperous Insurance Com
pany. In another column will be found a
statement of Mr. . S. ones, manager
tor the department of North Carolina, of
the Provident Savings Life Assurance So
ciety of New York, which makes some
startling figures. It shows that the bus
im ss done by him in 1HU1 doubled that
ol 181)0. 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. The net average cost of
insurance in thiscompany is only $18.49
per $1,000, as against $40.91 average
cost in all other companies. 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. These
are results ol which any man might be
proud.
