MARCH 9. 1900. The Citizen la asked to thank the Asheville-, Register for many compli mentary remarks about Chairman F. M. Simmons of the state Democratic committee. It was Just as well for the Black-and-Tan organs to admit that the amend ment will not disfranchise white men. They couldn't keep the deception up during the whole campaign. Pritchard shouldn't make such a rumpus about disfranchising negroes. In his own county no negro ever get a show at an office. They are all de officized. Pritchard doesn't want them to hold office except In the eastern part of the state. IN CHARLOTTE. Charlotte has a White Supremacy club, organized last Thursday night. Mayor McCall made an excellent cd dress, in the course of which he aid that this campaign is the most impor tant that North Carolina has ever had, and that every white man in the state should be alive to the situation. "It is impossible," he said, "to reform the ne gro in politics. He is exactly where we found him in 1865. He votes the Re publican ticket because he thinks It is the proper thing to do, and the only black pages in North Carolina's his tory are those made while the Repub lican party was In power." We do not wholly agree with Mayor McCall in these assertions. We believe it is possible to reform the negro in politics, and that the way to do it is to reform the ignorant negro out of poli tics. That will give the negro an in centive to learn something, to know something, to be something besides the readily bought tool of the Blackand Tans. Take away the privilege, and he will then begin to prize it as some thing that means more to him than a promise or a $2 bribe in election years. Nor does he vote the Republican ticket because he think it the proper thing to do. The idea of propriety does not eater his head. Mr. McCall said that with co-opera tion on the part of the white men of the state there is no doubt about the amendment' being carried, but he em phasized the necessity of earnest work for it. This warning Is entirely proper. We've got the Black-and-Tans on the run, and the thing to do is to keep them on the run. The way to keep them on the run is to keep chasing them. Raleigh is to have an amateur min strel show. If the capital city want a first-class minstrel show it should engage "Hull and McLoud's Mammoth Minstrels, Terpsichorean and Jocular Artists," who played to an Asheville audience last week. It is a collection of stars, but doesn't look much like the milky way. The Asheville Register pretends to think that the vaccination ordinance was passed to enable the doctors to ex tort money from the people of the- city. If some one would discover an anti damphool virus the Register would have a sore arm to nurse. GATIJNG-OUN CHRISTIANITY. jThe Citizen Is glad to find one reli gious paper that looks at our war on the Filipinos and the British war on the Boers from a christian standpoint. That paper is the Epworth News of this city. ' In its latest issue it quotes the North Carolina Journal cf Educa tion as follows: "The Philippine war costs the United States $1,000,000 a day; which is twice as much as the average daily cost of all the public schools of the United States with their army of 400.000 ttach ers. Could the expenses of one year of this war be added to the school fund, the educational facilities of the whole country could be doubled for two years. The African war is costing England about $2,000,000 a day nearly 0 times the average dally cost of all her jublie schools, which in many case are poor enough. But great Is war and the road to glory is wet with human blood." The dollar argument against unjust rvars might have been longer and more effective. At the same time it is belns used in favor of these wars, -speciaIly curs against the Filipinos, and U ap peals strongly to thone whi r re Collar christians seven days in the week. Commenting on this quotation from the Journal of Education the Epworth News says: , "This is one way to estimate the hor rors of war. Another is by the number of valuable lives sacrificed. If it were to defend our soil, our homes, our institutions from a rumiess ua ori rous foe no cost would be too great, but if it is to protect one's national standing, to gain territory and wealth, the cost I far out of proportion. It mtranee that any one honid In this day favor wars of con quest for the christianising of the sub- in ea. ted. That mlgnt oo ior wwwu tine, but even then such conversion incorporated paganism into me romui and produced the dark ages. It Is not necessary to try to estimate the horror of war. They are admitted. The question Is a to the Justice of nr n v other mars. There are some who say this Is a christian coun try. But what is Christianity without Justice? Can an unjust country christian country? Again says the News: ' " "Where are they who a few years ago were crying universal peace, arbitra tion, etc.? What meant the peace con gress? Why should the ' two most christian nation be the leaders-isvthe bloodiest wars? It reminds one of the days of Cortes. If we make war uponall who in our judgment are not capable of self-government we shall have a busy time the rest of our life. It makes the .heart sick, to read of the - ba:tl and the slaughter of noble me We cannot believe the Lord has chosen these way of bringing ; His kingdom on the earth. May the God of peace in terpose.' ' ' mm, HEALTH MEASURES FOR ASHEVILLE PEOPLE SHOULD" KNOW HOW TO AVOID AND PREVENT DISEASE -AND THEN THEY WILL FEAR IT LESS. No better evidence of the need of a public health organization in this city could be given than the conditions ex t latins today a a direct result of the public fear or disregard of a harmless and very useful preventive measure, via.: Vaccination against smallpox. If the people understood the underlying principle and results of vaccination. It absolute safety .when practiced aaeptlcally with pure virus, very few people over the age of six months would be found without a vaccination scar. Babies in arm would be vacci nated, a la the commendable custom in some countries where the family physician attends to this simple opera tion as a matter of duty, not permit ting hi patients to go unprotected. If the people of this community, de pendent as they are at present on the stranger who come here,' had had the benefit of practical instruction in the hygiene of such Infectious diseases as smallpox, the appearance of a few cases would have resulted In most of ua seeking vaccination Instead of any one rising in alarm and horror and forcing the authorities to take steps for the public safety; measures that have been followed by the publication of false statements, and without reason, keeping prospective visitors away. The outbreak was a mere bubble, easily punctured as compared with that grave kind of smallpox of years ago, because vaccination working on successive gen erations has modified the disease to Its piesent comparatively harmless na ture, f There are people who conscientiously repudiate vaccination, but the vast majority do so from fear born of ig norance of facts that they should un derstand, but to impart which there is no organization, no system of teaching, such as is to be found only in a few favored and progressive communities where good health is considered at least equal to business interests, and the doctrines of which are preached by physicians without danger of drawing unfavorable -comments upon their character and purposes. With the experiences of various re sorts In California, Colorado and Texas in mind experiences that have result ed In the citizens of several localities pressing their legislators for Ijlws ex cluding consumptives fiom their local ities because of the spread of the dis ease -. even among natives of those places a few residents of Asheville have organized for the purpose of teaching hygiene to the people, and thereby how to protect the homes and the visitors. A few enthusiastic meet ings were held and efforts were made to divert the' organization into com mercial channels, but without avail. Work for. committees was mapped out, and plans were made to improve the community as a health resort, leaving the manufacturing and purely com mercial Interests to the board of trade, which has proved itself earnest, sincere and competent to deal, with these inter ests....... . ., - But when, the time came for execu tion few seemed able to spare time from their duties. The constitution provides for three business meetings and three public meetings during the year, , and some public meetings for popular instruction in hygiene, and for some entertainments to be held at suitable dates. .As these were intend ed for visitors, as well as for residents it was not proposed that any be held before March, so that the first one is barely due. . . , ; Now, if short practical instruction in the prevention of - smallpox could eliminate from the mind of any rea sonable man. or woman amenable to belief in the demonstrated evidence of science the last vestige of fear or prejudice against vaccination, how much more reason have we to inculcate among the people knowledge on the hygienic principles underlying the measures that prevent consumption, a disease that causes one-fifth of the deaths, and the hygiene of diphtheria. typhoid and scarlet fevers, either of which Is Incomparably more common and fatal than smallpox! For example, how many people know that a speck of sputum the size of a pea may contain billions of germs of consumption, each one of which is a living factor capable of reproducing its kind, and thereby the disease, in a hu man being when the soil it reaches is suitable food for It? Who stops to think that these germs may be scattered in our homes, churches, opera house, postoflice and court house, and are raised daily with the clouds of visible and Invisible dust by brooms, too of ten used .dry, by the currents of wo- mens' dresses and by the feet? Who thinks that the babe crawling on the germ-laden carpet or floor may begin to carry these germs into its mouth with its dimpled hands, and has its nose constantly In contact with the infected currents of air at the lowest level of the room? Who thinks of ap plying measures that will prevent the scattering of these germs and that will destroy them when they exist In our surroundings? AO these and many other questions the public should understand thor oughly, so as to take the most effective measures for protecting the homes, the .public buildings, the citizens and the tvisitor. and thu make the city more attractive to tourists. It is this work that the Asheville Public Health association proposes to undertake. It expects at least to try and learn from experience at the first meeting whether- or not the people want free Instruction, whether or not they want an organization to foster good health and encourage sound hy gienic measures that will redound to the increase of a desirable population. What good could be done to the home keeper, the hotel keeper, the mother if a series of public lecture of a practic al character were given to them free, beginning, say. with a description of germ life! A study of these mites would of itself be of great value, for it would show what a germ is, what it looks like, where and how it lives and destroys or Is beneficial. If it is im practical tc show them to an audi -not through a microscope it Is easy enough to draw them on a blackboard and show them on a screen through a lan tern.. The school authorities have accepted an offer of the association to deliver lecture to pupils on these topics, and it w ill be done in the course of the school season. Will the public grant us the same favor? Will they value such efforts enough to honor us with their presence? It is proposed to secure the old Li brary building for the first attempt. It has been suggested that, the clergy may see fit to permit the use of the churches for these teachings. This would afford admirable opportunities to rach the people. The teaching of hygiene began In ecclesiastical quar ters, and the clergy may. still be of greats help in protecting the health of the body.J.;. - i . .. ' ; The people should be so thorougnly Instructed In hygiene that we may njv- er need stern law to protect us against diseases, and never suffer the dam ages now incurred by reason of Ignor ance of truths that we should under stand. We should make of Asheville the wholesome health resort that . na ture Intended it should be. But. it will finally cease to be a health resort if we refuse to see the handwriting on the wall.

Kinston Free Press: "We learn from good authority that the cabbage crop of eastern North Carolina has been cut off fully one-third by the several cold snaps since January 1.

OF THE NEW MOVEMENT ADOPTED AT SUNDAY'S MEETING. At the people's meeting at HilHard hall Sunday afternoon - the following was adopted by those present as the plan of organization of the new move ment: "The name of this society shall be 'The Free Church of the Friendly Spir it of Asheville.' "The objects of this society are to freely and reverently consider ethical, religious and social questions; to strive for a closer fellowship; to work for Justice among men; to promote the in terests of truth and its bearings on the welfare of humanity. "The Free Church of the Friendly Spirit of Asheville does not seek to commit its friends to any fixed state ment of belief, but permits each per son to be true to his own conscience. "A cordial invitation is extended to all who believe in being good and do ing good and In cultivating the friend ly, kindly spirit and who expect to show the same courtesy to others' be liefs that they would wish shown to their own. "We pledge ourselves to earnestly seek the truth, to present the results of our seeking and to patiently hear any opinion, with charity for all and malice toward none, It being our pur pose to work for right living, broader thinking and a warmer fellowship. "We do not Intend our faith to be come stereotyped. What we thought last year we will not necessarily con sider sufficient this year. As Paul said, 'When I was a child I thought as a child, hut when I became a man I put away childish things.' "In the New Testament the question Is asked, 'What is truth? It was not answered, but the attempt to do so from that day to this has marked the path of progress and better life. In any church with a rigid creed you are not permitted to present problems that endanger that creed. So your seeking for truth will be limited to Its catechism. We aim to, keep our range uniimnea. "We will not. and do not condemn other churches,', for they supply the full wants of many people; and we will endeavor to do our share In showing the true charity that should be the badge of real religion and make our society a haven for all inquiring souls wno find themselves in need of an ex panding confession of faith. "Finally, we will Insist that our free dom of thinking shall . not stand for looseness of thought, nor laxity of ideals, nor furnish any warrant for selfish greed, harshness of opinion, nor escape from the inevitable mandates of deity, who we believe Is a God of law and not an angry Maker whose will is arbitrary and changeable. "All persons who are tn sympathy with the objects of this society may become, and are cordially infltsa to De come, members thereof. - "The officers of this Society shall consist of an executive committee of five members, who shall select a pres ident from their number, and a secretary-treasurer from the membership at large.

Editor The Citizen: I have just fin ished reading Senator Butler speech before the senate on the proposed amendment to the constitution of North Carolina, and am utterly amazed and astonished that a son of North Carolina should be guilty of such wholesale deception a appears on the very face of hi speech. It does not become necessary to read between the lines to detect his fraud, for It stands out In bold relief and "whosoever will may read" I do not desire to be understood as attempting to answer the arguments of Senator Butler, my only wish being to call attention briefly to some of his statements which I regard as alto gether false and without any founda tion whatever. He starts out with the proposition that there is no danger of negro domi nation in North Carolina a proposition fallacious in itself but not satisfied with the simple statement of this ab surd proposition, he undertakes to prove its truth by quoting statistics that cannot be relied on. Such a course would have done very well if the senator had not made the serious blunder of having .his speech printed and spread broadcast over his own state, where the facts could be shown to be otherwise than the way he represented them, for not many, if any, of the senators of the United States would have taken the pains to investigate the condition of affairs in North Carolina, so his speech would have produced the desired effect. I am at a loss to know What it would take to constitute negro domination according to Senator Butler's standard of judgment. It seems to me when we have a negro congressman from the Second district, although his name be White, and a negro in the state senate and four negroes in the legislature, that we are bordering on negro domi nation, if not in the actual throes of it. If he had stopped with that state ment he would not have put himself in such a ridiculous attitude before the ptople of his state, but he made the bold assertion on the floor of the Unit ed States senate, where Vance once stood and reverenced truth, that there were only 12 counties in the state hav ing more negroes than whites. Now there is a wide discrepancy between his judgment and the statement of the "North Carolina Handbook," which was revised by the agricultural depart ment of 18. It discloses the fact that the 16 following counties had more ne groes than whites: Bertie, Caswell, Chowan, Craven, Edgecombe, Granville, Halifax, Hert ford, New Hanover, Northampton, Pasquotank, Pender, Richmond, Vance, Warren and Washington. I do not know from what source Sen ator Butler procured his statistics, but I do not think it would be a rash pre sumption to suppose that there are ful ly as many counties today with more negroes than whites aa there were In 1S96, and unfortunately several others are dangerously near the border line. Why should we hesitate to. conclude that such is the case? They have not gone in drovts from eastern North Carolina and distributed themselves more evenly over the state; no epidem ic or scourge has been confined to their race which would have exterminated them ; so thereer a very strong proba bility that the same state of affairs exists in the east that has existed there for years. He says that exclusive of 12 counties, ail the other counties have a large majority of white inhabitants, when it is an incontrovertible fact that there are five other counties with a majority of white population of less than 500. Senator Butler heaps a great deal of rersonal abuse on the Democratic party leaders in the state because they raised the issue of white supremacy, but he very consistently; no doubt he thinks, entirely ignores the fact that all the Populist members of the last legislature voted for the measure that he is so vehemently denouncing as un fair and unjust. The negroes are not entirely respon sible for this deplorable state of affairs in the east, but following it to its last analysis, the burden falls on the cor rupt party leaders who dictate to them. Isaac' Smith and another one of his colored colleagues sounded the key note to the situation when, in the last legislature, they voted to have the name of Jim Young cut out of the cor nerstone of that beautiful structure for the blind white children of the state, at Raleigh, sayin? that the two races ought to be kept separate and distinct. I a?ree with Senator Butler in the last sentence of his speech when he says: "The voters of North Carolina, even though many of them are illiter ate, are not dishonest, neither are they cowards," and if he will only be patient a few months longer they will show him a lesson of fortitude that will make him sick at heart.

The story of Lohengrin may be briefly sketched a follow: The scene passes in Antwerp, first half of the 10th century. Gottfried, the young son of the late Duke of Brabant, hav ing mysteriously disappeared. Freder ick Telramund, in virtue of his wife's royal descent claims the sovereignty of Brabant and openly accuses Elsa (Gottfried's sister) of having murder ed her brother to win the crown for herself. Elsa Is summoned to appear and answer the charge, and the king decrees that her cause shall be sub mitted to ordeal of battle between Telramund and any champion Elsa may choose to defend her. She de scribes a knight whom she has seen in a vision and conjures him to fight for her. After repeated appeals, a " skiff, diawn by a swan,is seen to approach the shore; in it is Lohengrin, . Elsa's chosen knight, who accepts Telra mund's challenge. Before they ' fight, Lohengrin be troths himself to Elsa, first claiming her solemn promise nev er to question him as to his name or race, nor whence he came to her; Tel ramund is overcome In the combat and stripped of lands and honors. Telramund and Ortrud (his wife) are determined yet to .compass the ruin of Elsa and Lohengrin and be reinstated in their former rank. On the way to the church for the wedding of Elsa and Lohengrin Telramund interposes and accuses Lohengrin of sorcery, alleging the strange manner of his coming amongst them, and the mystery in which his name and rank are shroud ed. In support of the declaration. The faith of the king and his knights in Lohengrin, however, remains un shaken; doubts for a moment over whelm Elsa, but she casts them aside; the train finally enters the church and they are united. Elsa and Lohengrin are then conducted to the bridal cham ber by a train of knights and ladies, and for the first time are alone. Elsa soon begins to question her . husband with growing vehemence, unmindful oT his warnings that her doubts must end their happiness, for that if she insist, to her he must reveal his secret. When their altercation is at its height a mur derous attempt is made on Lohengrin's life by Telramund and four of his fol lowers. Elsa, quick to perceive their Intent, hands Lohengrin his sword and he strikes Telramund dead. He then places Elsa in the care of her ladies, charging them to lead her Into the presence of the king. There he reveals himself tobe the son of Parsifal, and a knight of the Holy Grail: being known he is now bound to return to its Sgysterious guardianship. As he speaks the swan leading the skiff ap pears again on the river, and to Elsa's unspeakable grief he bids her an eter nal farewell. Before he steps into the skiff he dis enchants the swan, who is no other than Gottfried, transformed by Or trud's sorcery, and who now takes rightful possession of his dukedom. A dove takes the place of the swan and draws away the skiff with Lohengrin in it. He is seen once more in the dis tance and Elsa with" a shriek falls life less to the ground. The selection toibe given comprises the brilliant' and festive orchestral in troduction to the third act. the chorus of the knights and ladies in the bridal chamber, and the duo between Elsa -and Lohengrin, which opens with all the tenderness of two lovers, but ends with the sad altercation between the two, and the tragic death of Telra mund.
