There is this to be said of President (almost) Cleveland's cabinet that could aUaall Public Schools be closed? Editor Tub Citizen: Many person will regret the announcement that the citv schools will be closed, wnatever may have been our opinion in regard to graded schools in the past, we are bound as wise and patriotic citizens to look the situation fairly in the face, and to ac knowledge the following facts: The city schools have been exception ally well managed and have produced great good. The committee have secured the scr- .... i . rtp t vices ot a superintendent ami stun 01 teachers who have given unqualified satisfaction to all who have made their actuaintance, or taken time to examine into the manner in which thier responsi ble duties are performed. The money wnicn naB nitnereo ueen expended will fail to product its lull measure of good results should the schools be prematurely closed. Then what shall be done aoouc 11: Without intendine in any decree to crit icise the committee, I cannot approve ol Mr. West's suggestion, to use next year s income to pay this year s expense? be- not be truthfully said of Mr. (soon to be) cause it seems to repeat the mistake ul Harrison's; and that is. that the former's does not reprcsent.a trade" as the lat ter' did. In the nomination of Waoa makcr Preside tit Harrison paid a per sonal political debt with the money ol the people. Mr. Cleveland starts with clean bands and with at least a set of honest men about him. Section 1.218 of the United S ;Ues Statutes provides that : "No person who has served in any capacity in the military, naval, or civil service of the so-called Conlederate Mates, or ot either of the states in insur rection durintr the late rebellion, shall be appointed to unv position in the army of the United States." With an ex-Confederate in the cabinet and the Chicago Inter-Ocean and Judge Tourgee not fighting much, it would appear to be a tit day and generation to repeal that Statute. A. REPUBLICAN LKIiACV It is safe to say that oi:e man will leave President Harrison's cabinet with out regret, and that lie will sleep the following night as he li.-is not slept for weeks. We refer to Secretary of the Treasury Foster who now confesses, as he has hitherto refused to, that a big deficit is staring the treasury in the face. It will be remembered that it was a big surplus that was dointr the staring when president Cleveland left the office four years ago, and that the Republican party has been in power ever since. But we fear the country in general will for;et the difficulties that confront the new administration ami expect more, because it will be u Democratic adminis tration, than it will be possible to per form. We may as well add frankly that if there is a failure we do not expect it to come from a lack of either ability or courage on the part of the President or his cabinet, but from a lack of the latter on the part of Congress. The present House has accomplished so little and has been so dilatory in accomplishing that much, that it has failed rearlv made, to wit: Allowing the cur rent "expenditure to exceed the current receipt. This plan is sure to nu in trouble. Well, then, shall we have anmerease ol the school tax ? No, no, no. Many per sons are now oppressed and scarce able to meet the tax collectors 'lemanos. Shall the deficit be made up by issue ol city bonds. No, no; a thousand times no. Ourcitv debt is now about one million of dollars, in my opinion far more thanjthe assessed value of property, if made todav, would justify. The in terest will absorb five-sevenths of the citv s income. So we are face to lace with serious difficulties; but the schools should not be closed. I would rather duplicate the amount of my school tax, than to have this occur. Some of us are able to do this, while to many others anv increase of the tax would be nositive cruelty, l et us not then oppress the poorer part 01 the community, but let those ot us, wno are able, put our bands down deep in our pockets, and produce the means to avoid that which many will agree with me to be a real calamity such as: 1st. The suspension of the schools involving the interruption of studies and discipline, scattering of scholars and teachers, and in part, loss of money hitherto expended. 'nd. The increase ot taxation wnicn is already excessive and burdensome upon the poorer classes ot our people. 3rd. The increase ol Honucd Debt, woich can mean nothing but temporary relief at the expense of increased embar rassment in the near future. All of these things I desire to avoid, and to do so will contribute Ireelv ac cording to my means. 1 believe others will agree with me. Then I would suggest that the com mittee give usspeedily a full statement of school affairs, the number of children now in school, and the number ol those for whom they have not been able to pro vide ; the amount ot money needed to en able them to complete the present ses sion, and then call a meeting of thus who really desire the good ol Asbeville and let us see if the means cannot be vol untarily contributed. Verv respectfully, T.' IV. 1'atton. A Dude and His Overcoat- A story is out on a certain young man whose purse is not the most plethoric, and yet he aims to dress as well as the richer young men with wliorn he associ ates. Early in tho winter, -when it ap peared that there would not be any cold weather, and ho found himself in some what straightened circumstances, he pawned his overcoat. At the expiration of the pledge, tho weather still being mild, he neglected to renew it. The coat not being called for, the pawnbroker sold it to a colored man. Two or three days after, the dude wanted the coat. He was very much discomfited on learn ing that it had been sold. He ascer tained the address of the colored man to whom it had been sold. He found the fellow, paid him tho amount that he had paid the pawnbroker and took his coat. Tho fun of it is that the colored man is a retainer in a suburban family with whom tho young man associates. The young man doesn't kaow anything about this, but tho family through the col ored man, who gave the thing away know all about the overcoat. Cincin nati Enquirer. lli-uke Into Ills Former Prison.

This, however, is what hap pened last week at the Plotzensee prison, near Berlin, where nt niirht an individ ual scaled the prison wall and safely landed in the yard.

It has not been industrious and it has grappled with none of the great problems as though it had any real intentions in the case. But the considerable new blood in the next Congress will perhaps make a wel come difference. It is imperative now that the finances ot the nation receive instant attention, and the thorough re vision ot the tariff must also be made at the earliest possible moment. That the Democratic party can do what should be done to bring the administration of this government back to the economical basis which it ought never to have de parted from, is very doubtful, for the Re publican party has left behind it as a legacy and an encumbrance a rate of ex penditure which four years of the most careful pruning will hardly be able to correct. Nevertheless, if a notable de parture is not made in this direction the Democratic party will suffer. VEMTV1IED AMD LOST. A National Park. Editor The Citizen: A few days since I saw Maj. Stringfield's comments to inspire the I on the proposition to lay off a national New 1.1 it tit on The McKliilt-j l ull are. From the Cincinnati Post. In regard to the story about Governor IcKinley's loss many notes have been found which bear the name of Governor McKinley as principal and Walker as an indorscr. The idea of going to the Governor's rescne financially by theraitir.g of a fund among all classes ol the public v tiling to contribute, will now no doubt be ab.in doned. It may stated, too, that llic be lief has been expressed that there is 110 intention to use the seperate estate ot the Governor i estate wife, of which Myron Merrick, the Clevelander, has been made trustee. The story goes that Governor McKin lev's liabilities, instead of being $118, OOO, are nearer $200,000, and the Oov ernor is not merely tho indorser of the notes involved in tne transaction, as hrst reported, but the maker of these notes, which are circulating about the country in amounts ranging from $1, OOO to $l,G0O. The notes in question have been rjn nine, it is said, for four or five years, and tbe wonder has been among thoseaware of the situation that the crisis was not reached lone before it came. Viewed in such a light as that thrown around it by the story told now, the whole affair pats tbe Governor in the position of a man who ventured and lost, not that of a man who was over taken by misfortune through the fault of others. park in Western North Cnrolina. I re gret that the interest of the people of our section has so late been directed to the subject; for the session of the Legis lature is drawing to a close, and little change can be affected or opinion can now be made, even if anything can be done. The sucineness of our people per mitted the interests of other mountain sections to gain precedence, especially those of the Grandfather section, which is not wanting in the elements of grand eur, sublimity and natural wnuness, But that section is open to nil the ob jections I sought to avoid in advocating the Nantahala and the bmoky moun tians or Whittier areas, for it is niostlv under private ownership, and largely held for speculating purposes; conse quently the cost of the land would rela' tivelv be very ninn. It is also in tne vicinity of mineral formations, and ha- ble to the obtrusion of miners and minine ouerations. In accessability, it is not at much of a disadvantage with the other places. I concur with Mai. Mnnchciu in what he says regarding the eligibility of the Catalooche wilds. I have never vis ited that part of the mountains; but from the fact that it is at a point where the Balsam mountains hinge on to the Smoky range, torming a true mountain knot, every condition must he presented to till the ideas of grandeur, sublimity and wildness, as well as majesty of lor est growth as too meet .ill the require- ments ol a true national park. Thanking Major Mrincheldtorhis flat tering estimate uf mv taste and ludg mcnt. I think he has done me injustice in ascribing to me a limitation of choice to the .Nantahala. 1 think that he must have overlooked that one of my series of articles which treated more fully than any one ot them of the eligibility of the loca tion along the south face el the Smokies. onrs truly, J.

She is not dead, but only in a state of congestion or tor nor. From this it is to be hoped she will arouse herself before the next municipal election: if not, she may reach a condi tion in which a coroner s jury will nave to be called to sit upon the corpse, and their verdict can be nothing but "felo dc se." aencv.
