A Kooxville paper says. speaking of
the Nicaragua canal :
"It is estimated that the canal can be
completed in five years and after that
time can take care of the interest on the
debt. It is calculated that the enormous
profits will enable the canal to pay back
the principal and interest within thirty
years."
The government that would take such
magnificent paying stock out of the
hands of private parties the United
States Rets $80,000,000 worth of stock,
the Knoxville paper says, for guarantee
ing the interest on the bonds ought to
be ashamed of itself. It should keep its
hands off and let private citizens enjoy
so good a thing.
The bill favorably reported in the
North Carolina Assembly to punish
lynchers must have had other features to
recommend it to the Judiciary committee
than the telegraph brings us word of. It
is of course desirable, highly important
indeed, to punish lynchers and to stop
lynching, but wherein are the present
laws at fault? Lynching is murder and
there are laws to punisb murderers.
What more could be desired? The answer
of course is, the necessary public senti
tnent that shall demand that the lynch'
ers shall be brought to justice and suffer
for their crime if they are found guilty.
If the present bill tells how to supply the
sentiment where it is lacking in any com
munity, it will be very welcome.
FISH.
The Morehead City News tells of a
wonderful catch of fish down that way
last week, three men taking, at a single
drop of their net, 10,000 pounds of fish
The Newbern Journal adds that one
shipment offish from Morehead City re.
cently "was sufficient in quantity (allow
ing one pound of fish to each individual)
to have furnished a meal to the entire
combined population of Wilmington
Raleigh, Charlotte, Winston, Asheville,
Newbern, Goldsboro and Durham
This is exasperating talk, in view of the
fact that, in the face oi the present con
tinuous cold weather when fish can be
shipped with perfect safety, Asheville has
been but indifferently supplied. It is yet
to be explained why this City is so poor
ly served with what should be cheap and
plentiful. Many varieties of the better
kinds ot fish Asheville buyers never see at
all. That the price is high is said to be
due to the voracity of that unamiable
monster, the Southern Kx press Compa
ny, but this fact does not account for the
lack of variety.
Some Xblnira He Heea And Hears
Worlh TalUtliif About.
Bill Nye came into town last week
and Asheville has had some of the "un
usualest" weather she has had for years.
A little climate now and then does not
create any considerable disturbance, but
when it comes down like a wolf on the
fold, brings its knitting, so to speak, and
sojourns for a week or two at a time.
wny, that s ditlerent. Asheville people
re unused to such snaps. 1 he tact ot
the business is, there arc by far too many
oeo pie in Asheville who have come to be
lieve that Asheville is conducted under
some sort of special dispensation, and.
therefore, doesn t need to keep a weather
eye open, isut by and by the snap comes
along and there you are. 1 he weather
will come, and there s no way ot getting
around it except by preparing for it.
When a snow visits Asheville, many ol
the poor people throw up their hands
even before the command is given. There
has been little saved up, and work be
ing suspended the family soon gets out
of life's necessaries. It seems never to
occur to any of these able-bodied men
that they mieht, it thev enred, make
enough to tide them o'er a snowy season
by going over the city and sweeping
pavements and porches. I've seen the
time here when snow shovclcrshnd to he
mploved, but I don't think I ever saw
one going about on the hunt for work.
There is an ordinance against allowing
snow on the sidewalks, and it seems to
me a property owner would rather pnv
the workman than the fine imposed bv
the city. The latter might make an ex
ample of a couple ot firms near the
square, and in this way promote the
snow-shoveling industry.
The great-hearted women of the
Flower Mission Glod bless them ! And
a benediction on the heads of the noble
people of Asheville who haveeontributed
of their wealth and worldly goods.
through the Flower Mission, to the com
bat against privation s blighting hand
which has been stretched over the poorer
of Asheville's people! pull credit will
never be given these benevolent ones, ex
cept by the recording angel, because they
go about doing good unostentatiously,
and the extent ot their work is never
known here, except by themselves.
Citizens responded to an appeal in The
Citizen by sending checks tor generous
amounts, while one gentleman I heard
of kept a coal wagon going continually
to supply tuel to keep warm the ones
who are never comfortably clad, even in
the mildest winter weather. Acts such
as these bring reward greater than any
praise or compensation.
It seems to me that it would have been
as little as the city could have done tor
her poor, to have gien out the wood
cut from the big trees felled recently on
North Main street. There were several
loads of wood, and, I am sure they would
have been gladly welcomed by many a
needv family. However, a poor man
didn't get it.
I see a joke going the rounds, rcioicing
in the fact that elevators are going
down. It should be remembered, how
ever, that an elevator which goes down,
pretty soon thcreattcr goes up again.
STATE PRINTING.
The public printing mess is on again.
It is the same old story shall it be made
a business matter or one of charity ?
Shall there be due regard for the interests
of the taxpayer, and the contract to do
the State printing given to the lowest
responsible bidder ? or shall it be given
outright as a bonus or reward for en
during the journalistic rigors of Raleigh
life? Tns Citizen has all along taken
the stand that the work should go to
the man who would do it as it sbou'd
be done for the least money. The last Leg
islature thought otherwise, and gave it
to a good Democrat as a reward ot merit
and the contract was sub-let to a firm
one of whose members is charged with
haying been tainted with Third partyism
The avowed object of this unbusiness-like
move was therefore defeated in part.
One Raleigh paper for which we have
great respect and no little admiration
says, in advocating its claim to the con
tract :
"It is essential to the defence and ad
vancement of Democratic principles in
North Carolina that there should be pub
hsbed at this capital a staunch Demo
cratic daily journal, well equipped and
supported by the Democrats of the
State."
Granted; but what of it ? It is also es
sential to the advancement of Democratic
principles that every town and village
and cross roads in the State should
have a well equipped Democratic journal
If the contract is to be used to support
Democratic organs, pass it around. Let
the poor fellow who, right this minute,
is crying for cordwood and squashes
have bis chance at this fat contract.
worth $2,000 to $4,000 a year. He has
labored in the back corners and in the
out-of-the-way places, it is true; but bis
work tells for Democracy and he should
have his reward. Arrange the names of
the Democratic editors in alphabetical
order, and, every two years, call one of
as to Raleigh to sub-let the contract
keeping a sharp eye oat for Third party-
men secure railroad passes, and then go
home, to return now and then to draw
the profits. Some of as. well down to
wards the z's, would die of old age before
the promised land opened upon our vis
ion, bnt we.conld die all the more re
signed, knowing that it bad really head
ed oar way.
No, gentlemen of the Assembly of the
great State of North Carolina, yon can
do this thins in bnt one of two ways
right or wrong; and the right way is to
save every cent of the people's money by
giving: the public printing to the respon
sible man who will do it for the least
money. Yon were not sent to Raleigh
to give bonuses to any one.

AT THE BABY'S BEDTIME.
Certain recent happenings in Asheville
at first glance impress one with the idea
that the lion and the Iamb are about to
lie down together. Still, it is a very good
idea to keep your eve on the lion, to ee
tbat he has no dark designs on the lite ot
the lamb.
For the life of me, I don't see what ob
jection our most worthy association of
gentlemen called Aldermen can have to
bhartle s photograph cabinet, on South
Main street. It is not dangerous by any
means, and so far as looks go it is orna
mental. Yet it must come under the
ban, while new poles are put up any
where and everywhere, and corrugated
iron houses occasionally work them
selves into the good graces of the Board
Matters like these are of great mo
ment, however, compared to which 1
M. B. Young investigations must take n
back seat. But it this suits everybody
else it suits The Tattler.
SHORT STATE STORIES.
This is baby's bedtime:
My little one comes to run
In Iut snowy Httlo nightgown
And kneels down ut my knee.
And I fancy a sweet child angel
la for a time my guest
As she says her little prayers over
With her hands upon her breast.
"Xow I lay me," she whispers
In low voice, "down to sleep.
I pray the Lord" and the blue eyes
Half close "my soul to keep.
If I should die" oh, the shiver
At my heart! "before 1 wake,
I pray the Lord" and tho eyelids
Droop low "my soul to take."
Then I lift lip the little one, claspiiiK
Her elose to my loving heart.
And give her warm, rimmI nitfht kissea
Till tho closed lids break apart
As the leaves do, folding a (lower.
And the violets of her eyes
Look up in their drowsy fashion
And smile at mo augclwise.
"Pood night," she whispers me softly
And sleepily, with a kisa
That lingers with me in slumber.
And stirs my heart with bliss.
As I think of the little one dreaming
With her head against my breast.
Till my sleep is as full of rapture
As her dreaming is ot rest.

A Strange leth.
Thonios Odell, a young man of twenty-two
years, living seven miles back of
Oreemip, Ky., has met death in a strange
manner. Ho had been a puzzle to phy
sicians for several years. lie was affected
by what lie ate to such an extent that
when he indulged in beef eating about
an hour afterward ho would become
restless and wander out in search of
cattle and bellow as an ox, and would
get down on his hands and knees and
eat grass like a cow. When ho partook
of mutton his actions were those of a
sheep, and ho would plaintively bloat
like a lamb. When ho ato chicken he
would go out and scratch for worms,
which ho would devour with apparent
relish.
After eating fish he would wander to
the creek and go in swimming. One day
his father killed several squirrels, of
which the son ate heartily for dinner.
He left the house shortly after and was
followed by the father. The father saw
him enter an oak grove, and soon saw
his son jumping nimbly from limb to
limb, at tho same time barking like a
squirrel. lie called for him to come
down, hut this only seemed to make the
boy want to escape, and he attempted to
jump from one tree to another, but
missed and fell to the ground, a man
gled, breatldess mass of humanity, and
expired in less than five minutes. At

A Military IlandUerchtef.
Permission for soldiers to carry pocket
handkerchiefs will now probably be
given, for I see the war office authorities
have sanctioned a military handkerchief
being patented by Lieutenant Colonel
Fulton.
On this handkerchief is printed all
sorts of useful information concerning
the use and construction of the Lee-Met-
ford rifle, the alphabet used by army
signalers, general rules to bo observed in
any position in which a soldier may find
himself on campaign, the various bugle
calls and other things, many of which
are so nicely illustrated that it would bo
a thousand pities to use it in the xaanner
naturally prompted by a cutting "nor'
easter." Leeds Mercury.

I.J. Bell, one of that fast disappear

Salisbury at the nee of 80 years. He is
said to have first applied brakes to stage
wheels, but let some one take his inven

of him, some 40 years ago, when the

Shelby Review : Gaither V. Hicks
aged 35 and having a family, in company
with another man and two women of
bad character, went to the house of Mrs,
Polly Waiker, a feeble old woman, 80
years ol age, who lives alone near New
House in the yard of P. W. Jones, and
demanded supper for himself and com
panions. After eating the snpper. Hicks
at the point of his pistol drove everyone
out ot the house and assaulted toe old
woman. After beating her most brutally
be ravished her and tied. He was ar
