Tiik Citizen believes tliat it will be tlic opinion of citizens generally tbat the street jury got much nearer justice when it found the Johnston iroicrty on Church street damaged but $150 worth, than thejoint Hoard who set the (iytirc at $450. The question, it seems to us, that must be considered by a jurv in a ease of this kind is. How much lias the earning capacity of this lot as n business site been injured or benefitted by cutting off six feet ? j ,V It tt . Capt. J. 12. Kay has propositi to place his attractive property, Nellie I 'ark on I'atton a von no, at the city's disposal lor a city park. The city's finances will not warrant any appropriation at present lur this purpose, but at very small cost, which individuals should supply, this great need of Asheville uiilil be filled at once. There would only be necessary a limited number of suitable benches, a music stand and perhaps a booth for re freshments. The hitter can doubtless he provided as a business venture which will pay certainly and well; the others may cost $i.'GO. Surely an even larger sum than this will not deter us from providing wholesome pleasure a ml recrea tion to our young people and our visit ors all this summer. The Citizen will receive subscriptions for this object and later siiKjjest a. com mittee to take charge of and expend the fund. We are authorized to put. Major Prttotl down for iplt), to which The Citizen will add a like sum, making one-tenth of the amount necessary. The remaining $1 i0 should be secured in a a few days.

NATIONAL CXTKAVAUANCli Some notion of what it will cost, with a full blown navy, to uphold the "peace and dignity of the United States" is shown by the expense sheet of the Balti more last year. She is not the largest of the ships built or in contemplation, but to keep her on even keel !fS4;?.13 were necessary every clay ot the year, or a total for twelve months of ove $:KK),000. It is evident that if ever the pension list became so much reduced that an honest pensioner eau look it the face without shame, the uavv could easily be stimulated to take the place o it as a national extra vtigance. And o all extravagances that of having n pow crful navy is the hardest to stop, once it gets into full swing. The thought o a fine licet of war ships and the elegant thrashing they might some day admin ister to a nation rush enough to provoke a quarrel with us, appeals to the iraag nation and a kind of jingo patriotism and makes it easy to get "millions for defence," red or supposed. No one likes to object to our having the largest anc swiftest battle ship in the world even though the distinction is held but few months. I!ut when the day of reckon ing comes, if it ever does, it will be found that the least profitable expenditure we make as a nation is that which sinks millions in war material.

A brighter day rare iv uoous tne rMantanala mountains with sunshine and pure air. Hiding along the rushing river will nign mountain walls on eitlier side, one realizes the grandeur of the scenery ten fold more than one could on the railroad train. This river rises near the I'.lue Kidgc and is conducted northward lietween these green mountain walls, its whole length, till it empties into L-ittlc Tennessee river. For miles there is barely space along the stream for the railroad track which was laid on the wagon road that formerly ran along the river. Since the railroad was built the wagon road below Jarrrctt's for miles has been abandoned. Hen and Houey at Work. While nature has thrown up some o her grandest works here, which seem to lie bcariers against human progress; yet these mountain walls arc themscl ves di- posils of many of the materials iiccdid for the development of useful enterprises. Progressive men hive entered with large capital and arc waking up the sleeping energies ot nneient oceans, who buried their countless dead here; for all these vast deposits of marble and talc, like the phosphates along the seaboards, crime from organic hie in seas of old. In the low country there are vast factories and mil lions of dollars at work exhuming the shell and bone deposits lor commercial purposes; here in the mountains exten give factories are in operation to prepare and reshape the shells which long ago lost their form and identity. The talc millsare preparing hundreds of tons of pure white Hour; kaolin is shipped in great tiuantity; and marble works will soon send ont the finest marble in the world. These are the names of some of the companies doing business on the Nan tahala: Kickard & Hewitt, Talc and Marble works; the Nantahala Marble and Talc company. The first named company are running their talc mills with much success; the other company are now erecting extensive mills. Herbert & Merch are doing an exten sive business as the Nantahala Lumber company. All these companies have their headquarters near Jarrctt's sta tion, now called Nantahala. Jto wla nd Ho vrard.

Opea ear ever? kaar betweea Depat aad 8piip aatit :8U p. as. c acneUaic J. Lt. Carrier, From the Christian Union. The Massachusetts Legislature has passed a joint resolution to investigate the Gothenburg system of controlling the liquor traffic, with a view to its possible adoutiou in Massachusetts. The South Carolina Legislature has already adopted and dcvelocd the essential feature of that system by placing the entire liquor traffic of South Carolina under exclu sively public control. We arc in receipt of a communication from Ithaca, N. Y., announcing the formation of a league to secure the adoption in this State of the same principle, 'flic Journal of the Knights of Labor the paper in which Mr. I'owdcrlv has so consistent! v chain pioncd the cause of prohibition ha indorsed the plan ot public control as common ground upon which the 1 ro hibilionists might, without any surreuclc of principle, and with great advantage to the cause thevhuve at heart, meet the other reformers." l-'inallv. the Voice itself, the foremost organ of the I'rohibi lion pai ty, has indorsed the plan as ; ureal stride toward com plcte prohibition To have the liquortraflic exclusively in tiic hands of salaried public officials would not oiilv prevent all pushing of the traffic lor the sake ot private pro lit lint would disband the whole nrmv ot anti-tcnipcratu-e workers in politics, and permit the public to decide upon its merits the question whether the liquor tratlic is a blessing or a curse. In inaiiv Norwegian towns, it may be said, the (otheiilmrg svsteni means local prolnbi tit, n, tor the coinuiuiiit v decides that no licenses whatever to sell spirits shall b granted. Throughout Seaml.inavia the community decides how many licenses shall be granted, during what hours liquor shall be sold ami to whom it shall be sold, by having salaried, semi-public officials in chargeof the liquor stores, the public secures the observance ot its regu la Hons. The chief objection to the Gothenburg system is one which applies as well to our high license system the public reve nue from the liquor stores makes the taxpayers loth to suppress them. ( The income of the companies holding licenses under the ( othenburg system is limited to 5 per cent, on the capital invested; the profits in excess of this 5 per cent, must be diverted to public purposes ) This public revenue feature of the Gothenburg svsteni is, however, nonessential, anil the South Carolina system of complete public control regulates the profit at which liquor shall be sold in such a way that the taxpayers have no material inter est in tne prosperity ot the saloons. 1 n facts that this system in South Carolina was established by a Prohibition Legis lature, and that even Third party Prom unionists in the North regard it with so much favor, make it seem the possible next step in the solution ot the liquor problem. State elections have repeatedly shown that nearly half the voters in the country believe in complete prohibi; ion, and tins number, coupled with those wno believe in as much prohibition as the local communities will enforce. would make an overwhelming majority of the people of the country.
