rise Bill Wm Amended In T he
Menate, -ud Tne Hoaae Cou
enrred Therein, vet Tn Anjetid
sncnt Docs Mast Apptst tn The
Mat ol 1893.
Is Buncombe county's dog law, which
was printed in The Citizen on Jane 27,
really a law, or is it not a law ?
That is a question that is doubtless
debatable, and likewise one that every
owner of a dog, from the finest blooded
animal to the mangiest cur. is deeply
nterested in or should be, for it affects
a man's pride, which is the dog afore
said.
The dog law, as it appears in the laws
of 1893, provides that dogs shall be
listed for taxation hist as are other do
mestic animals; that owners must keep
their dogs at borne unless they arc se
curely muzzled, and that the owner who
fails to comply with the provisions of the
law shall be fined $1 for each offence and
shall be compelled to pay all damages
done by the dog while running at large.
Farther than this, the bill provides that
if a man is convicted of violating the
dog law and does not pay bis fine he
may be compelled to work it out on the
roads of the county at 75 cents a day.
1 ne diii as printed was framed bv
Hon. Mark L. Keed and Dr. Dur
ham, and was adopted by the
Buncombe county Farmers' alliance. It
went to Gen. R. B. Vance, one of Bun
combe's reptcsentatives in the last
House, who introduced it in that branch
of the Legislature. It passed that body
lust as it was, and then went to the
Senate. On February 28, according to
the Senate journal, the bill was reported
without preiudicc- from the committee
on agriculture. At the evening session
the same day the bill was placed on its
second reading, when Senator John M.
Campbell ol Ashcville moved to amend
as follows :
Provided, that the provisions of tl.is
act shall not applv to any township of
said county, unless and until a majority
of the qua lined voters thereof have voted
to have this same apply thereto, as
hereinafter provided :
'Upon a iictition 111 wrttincr of one-
third ot the ciualificd votersof an v town
ship of said county, wrcscntcd to the
joint board of the county commissioners
ana usticcs of the peace 01 said county,
at their annual meeting in any year,
such joint board shall order an election
to be held in such township at a time to
be appointed by said joint board, not
more than GO days nor less than 2Udavs
after the meeting of such joint board, to
determine whether or not said law shall
apply to such township, at which elec
tion in such township all electors favor
ing the application of said law to such
township shall vote a ticket on which
are printed the words 'For the dog law,'
and all electors ot the same opposing
the application of said law to such town
ship shall vote a ticket on which are
printed the words 'Against the dog law,'
and said election shall be held in the
same manner and under the same pro
visions relating to registration, so far as
the same can apply, as are now provided
for the election of members of the Gen
eral Assembly."
1-romacopv of the Senate lournal
shown The Citizen by Senator Campbell
it is learned that this amendment was
adopted, the bill passed second and third
reading, and the amendment was ordered
encrosscd and sent to the House for
concurrence.
The House journal, pace 866, contains
this information : "11. B. 1124, S. It.
855. a bill to be entitled, 'an act to pro
tect snecp in ttuncombe county Irom the
ravages of dogs.' The amendments are
concurred in and the bill is ordered en
rolled."
Here is evidence plain and indisputa
ble that the amendment passed the
Senate and was concurred in by the
House and was ordered enrolled.
Yet, not the sliehtest trace of the
amendment appears in the book ol laws
as recently published.
1 he amendment, it will be understood.
made all the difference in the law; in
fact, made it almost certain that the law
would not go in force in Bttncomte, as
it is believed that not a township in
Buncombe would vote against the dog.
Xnator Campbell says, as the only
explanation he has of the omission of
the amendment, that it was either an
error ol the enrolling clerk or someone
stole the amendment before it reached
the clerk's hands. The Senator also says
that a similar state of things was found
rrcarding a bill which had been amend
ed by J. Frank Ray, representative from
rviacon. Whose is tnc fault f and what
became of these amendments?

seems, all ovfjr McDowell county. Other

there has been much and viuorous
shaking of the tree of the United States

the Democrats seem to be satisfied that
there is good fruit up there. The ques
tion is. into whose hands will Mr. Hlias
drop a plum. We have several hopeful
ones. We are clad to sec it stated that
Mr. Hlias is going to appoint onlv sober.
steady men to places, with the intention
of elevating the work of the department
accordingly. This is just as it should be,
being in the line of his, and our ereac
chieftain's, motto, "That a public office
is a public trust."
We see it stated in the last Free Lance
that the man who was killed. Wtn. A.
Garrison, on Broad River on Jane 12,
the day of our county prohibition elec
tion, was decidedly a wet ' man. borne
20 or 30 others were sti icken down by
the same bolt of lightning, but it seems
they have nearly all recovred. It has
not been shown that a "dry" man was
struck by lightning. A vast majority of
men, judging from expressions given, be
lieve that the Lord voted at Broad River
box that day. The occurrence has made
a profound impression upon our county.

Denver, Colo., July 12. The Color
ado silver convention yesterday was
both big and sensational. The feature
of the day was the speech of Populist
Governor Waite.
Among other things he said : "If the
money power shall attempt to sustain
its usurpation by the 'strong hand,' we
will meet that issue when it is forced
upon us, for it is infinitely better that
blood should flow to the horses'
bridles rather than that our national
credit should be destroyed."
He also said: "If it is true that the
Uuitcd States is unable to carry out its
governmental policy without dictation
or consent ot Knglish powers; if we are
a province of Kuropcan monarchies then
we need another revolution, another
appeal to arms. If war is forced upon
us w? will send to Halifax a far greater
army of 'British Tories,' according to
our population, than our forefathers
sent there after the Revolutionary war."
J. Cook, J. led the opposition. He said :
"We are liable to do things we may re
gret. I appeal to you as men not to do
today what you will regret tomorrow.
We are excited; we should know what
we are doing. Let us be reasonable and
act as intelligent men. We are going
bast as men to educate the men in the
Kast. If we fail, then is the time to act."
The Denver clearing house sent a check
for $1,000 to pay the expenses of dele
gates to St. Louis. Chicago and Wash
ington, accompanied by the iollowing
communication, signed by every banker
and smelter in the city:
"We favor the use of silver as monev.
and that it be freely coined with gold at
the present ratio of sixteen to one, with
out discrimination in favor ot or against
cither metal."
THE TARIFF.
Very Properly It Is Not to be For
teotten. Washington, July 12. Representa
tive W. L. Wilson, of West Virginia,
arrived in this city this morning. (Ques
tioned as to the probable outcome of
an extra session, Wilson said :
"It has always been my belief that
the extra session will be continuous
and that no recess can be taken. Un
der any circumstances, however, the
tariff question will be considered. As
soon as the committee on ways and
means is announced, the tariff will be
taken up by them."
