N. W. TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 4. 1902. Asheville the Place for the Next Convention - And now the talk has begun about where the next Democratic State con vention shall be held. Let's have It In Asheville! We are a little to the west of the centre of the State, to be sure, but railroad rates will be cheap, and as the convention meets In hot weather a trip to the mountains would be mighty pleasant, especially for eastern dele gates. As for taking care of all who might happen to come. we can Just do that to the queen's taste, and not be the least bit inconvenienced by it. either. In fact, we are by long odds . better prepared for such an event than any ether city In the State. Even the Ral eigh papers, while urging the claims of that city, are compelled to acknowl edge that Asheville. barring location, is preeminently the convention city of the State. Discussing the place for holding the next convention, the Ral eigh Post of Saturday says: Raleigh expects the convention be cause of Its central location and greatest accessibility, and its posses sion of accommodations equal to any town of the State, save Asheville. There ! however unfounded, that the commit ls not a town In this State, with the; tee on Ways and Means had this pur- w ..... . , i . . n M-.tM4 thi. i u h&ttfip nronu mil ' if there be one so well prepared, to take care of a crowd of from 1500 to 2.000 visitors as Raleigh.' There Is not a town east of the Mountain Metropo lis, which has Just completed a mag nificent auditorium capable of seating r.UOO. that possesses hall accommoda tions of larger capacity than this city afford .... We have made an exception of Ashe ville. Asheville, by virtue of its im mense patronage, both as a winter and summer resort, has necessarily prepar ed for large crowds, and, with its nu merous hotels and very many, hun dreds we may say, boarding houses. Is prepared to lodge easily from 10,000 to l".,ii0 visitors .... Asheville is thus prepared because there is a demand, we may say, throughout the year; while In all other towns and cities no demand, such as the State, convention, " Is made for more than two or three days at most in any one year and gen erally once in two years. In addition to rtsheville's being so magnificently equipped for the conven tion and for giving the delegates the time of their lives, we would remind Democrats that Western North Caro lina is "a mighty big country with a mighty heap o' people In It," and we doubt If they could do a better thing, from a party standpoint, than to come here with their convention. It would put a political enthusiasm and vigor into these mountain coves and valleys that would on election day roll up such a Democratic majority as would make some of the counties of the east ashamed of themselves. Give us a trial, gentlemen of the committee, when you meet in March to call the convention. We promise that you shall not regret It. Kansas to the Front Again Kansas Is again to the front. This time the revolving wheel of events throws upon the shores of time a man who Is about to pilot a band of pilgrims to, the Holy Land to seek the Ark of the Covenant spoken of In the New Testament. The expedition will be lead by the Rev. Charles 1. Parham, head of a religious sect known as the "Gift of Tongues Society." Mr. Parham's claims to have made an , exhaustive study of the Ark of the Covenant sub ject during the past ten years and car ries with him a copy of what purports to be an ancient Hebrew writing that refers to another wi.ung of an earlier date from which he learned the name of the mountain wherein the ark is hid den and almost absolute directions for finding It. The writing in which Mr. Parham found the information is in part as follows: "It was also contained In the same writing that the prophet, being warned of God. commanded the tabernacle and the ark to go with him in the mountain and when Jeremy came thither he found a hollow cave, where had laid the tabernacle and the ark and the al tar of incense and so stopped the door. And some of these that followed him came to mark the way. but they could not find it. Which at. when Jeremy perceived, he blamed them saying, 'as for the place. It shall be unknown until the time that God gathers his people togetner and receives them unto Mer cy. Then shall the Lord show them these things and the glory of the Lord shall appear in the clouds as it was showed unto Moses and as when Solo mon desired that the place might be honorably sanctified." Referring to the proposition to reduce the price of the Congressional Record from $3 to Jl a year, the Washington post suggests mat "the publisher of the Record might work up a little clr culation by giving premiums. Shot guns ror Mississippi, bean pots for Boston, corkscrews for Kentucky.bowle knives for Arkansas, and other useful articles for the various states would doubtless attract many new subscrib ers." " The people have found in the rural free delivery a good thing, and are now wondering how they ever got. along wlfhout It. While many routes have been established throughout the State, there are not enough by half. North Carolina congressmen can do their con stituents a great and lasting service by urging the establishment of the ru ral free delivery throughout their dis tricts. The news comes from "Washington that "possibly Prince Henry will visit North Carolina on his trip South. Certainly he ought to do so. It would be a pity for him to come South and miss the best and prettiest part of It And If be comes to North Carolina, of course he'll stop In Asheville, for nat urally we want to show him the best part of the State. Miss Roosevelt Is to attend the coro nation and "be treated as a princess," It Is announced, and we are further told that on her return to his country she will likely be known as "Princess Alice. President Van Bursa's son was called "Prince John because he looked the part and danced with the Queen. How we apples do swim and ape royalty! A 1 1 ii .. 11111 n i hiiii ..- .... . . . : : . : - : i - - -..mmmm Cuba and the War Tax Although the President and the Re publican majority in Congress have gone along the highway of legislation peaceably enough so far, there now appears some disposition to pull apart on the Cuban question. The congress men would graze on the high tariff side of the road, while the President would turn Into the pastures of reciprocity. The real test of strength has not yet come, but the yoke is beginning to strain and creak and something must give way soon. President Roosevelt in his message to Congress, recommended the reduc tion of duties on imports from Cuba. - It was supposed his advice would be followed, but all of a sudden the House Ways and Means committee, under pressure from the, beet sugar interests, agreed to support h. bill repealing the war taxes; and with the announce ment of this : action was coupled the statement that it meant no tariff con cessions to Cuba at the present session. As this latter statement seemed to come with authority and as the Pres ident is standing firm for concessions to Cuba, there must be a hot fight over the question in Republican ranks un less the Ways and Means committee lays down in absolute surrender. That the President will win is al most certain, as he is backed by nearly all the influential Republican newspa pers in the country. The New York Tribune enters a vigorous and impres sive protest against withholding relief from CUba, alleging that it would be not only immoral, but also an irre trievable political blunder. The Phila delphia Press, whose editor recently retired from President Roosevelt's cabinet, is equally outspoken. Com menting on the denial of Representa tive Payne, chairman of the Ways and Means committee, that it was the in tention of the Republican members of the committee to prevent concessions to Cuba on sugar duties, the Press says: The way to meet this widespread charge and end any and all suspicions. ise is to do Justice to Cuba now. Put the reduction to be made in the duties on Cuban products entering the United States into the bill for the reduction of revenue. Do it now. Do not wait. The evidence is all in. Argument has been heard. The committee on Ways and Means is as wise as it ever will be on this issue.. The general impres sion, doubtless unjust, that the com mittee was closing the door on Cuba while opening it to revenue reduction, has drawn irom the country ri em phatic declaration in favor of npt concessions to Cuba. Neither . yne nor his associates probably l ! the slightest iuea how strong puHi sen timent was on this question. .No one of them can have known how unani mous the Republican press of the coun try would be. They all know now. In the death of James W. Tufts, the founder of Pinehurst, North Carolina has sustained a great loss. Something like half a dozen years ago he was attracted by the healthful climate of central North Carolina and conceived the idea of establishing in the dry pine section of the state an ideal health re sort. He purchased six thousand acres on the Seaboard Air Line, in Moore county, and at a cost of a million and a half dollars converted a dreary, sandy waste Into one of the finest and best known winter resorts in the south. Here he built fine hotels and extensive pleasure grounds, which have attracted thousands every winter. Also, for those unable to pay the rates at costly hotels he erected and furnished cot tages that were rented at nominal cost to those wishing to spend the winter in the south. Mr. Tufts himself spent much of his time In the magic city of his building, being in the last few years of his life in ill health. He has done much good with his money and the announcement of his death was heard with genuine regret, not only in North Carolina, but throughout the entire country. His body was taken last night to Boston, his birthplace and former home, for burial. Again Col. Henri Watterson puts aside the crown, and, as he does so, declares he would not give up the good iellowshio that he enjoys with a few choice friends for a dozen presidencies, and that he has no use for those cold blooded fellows who stand on a block of ice telling other people what to do, and who commit a thousand wrongs under the mask of self-satisfaction, who go through their part in life like monkeys, with their little souls so dwarfed and narrow that a mustard seed would be too big io hold them. We hope the Colonel is as sincere as he Is expressive In his refusal of the Presi dency. We should regret to lose him. An editorial utterance from the Concord Times In regard to the nomi nation of Judge Clark for the Chief Justiceship was erroneously credited to the Newton Enterprise in yester day's Citizen. Our Duty to Cuba, Baltimore Sun. ' Our duty to Cuba has been perform ed. We have freed her from the Span ish yoke at a cost of some hundreds of millions, and have started her upon a career of constitutional government, civil order and efficient administraticm. With the moral influence we possess over her In virtue Of our generous ser vices, our nearness and our overwhelm ingly superior strength, we need feel no fear that Cuba will not realize her destiny with full regard to our polit ical Interests. Our duty is now to our selves to obtain some sort of compen sation for our sacrifices by securing closer commercial relations, through reciprocity, or absolute freedom of trade, with Cuba, with the Incidental result: of retaining and increasing the friendly feeling the Cuban people have for us. We cannot, consistently with our professions, scheme to make Cuba desire annexation by maintaining ob stacles to trade relations, in the Idea that it will drive her Into our arms. That is an event which. If it come at all. should come without compulsion. New Chief Justice of Arizona " ,a?hington Cor. New York Sun.) Edward Kent of Colorado, who was today appointed by the President to be Chief Justice of Arizona. Is a son of that famous old Whig who was a candidate of his party for the gover norship of Maine In the Taylor cam paign and whose success at the Sep tember elections Inspired that stirring campaign cry: Have you heard from Maine? It went hell bent for Governor Kent. Although that election took place more than 60 years ago, the present Mr. Kent looks to be not more than 45 years old. He is a graduate of Har vard, as was his father, and is a man of high standing in Colorado, where he Is a successful practitioner at the Den ver bar. Mr. Kent was in Washington tcday, and was greeted by several sen ators and others, who have revived personal recollections of the campaign In which Maine went "hell bent" and thus set the pace for other States at J he Presidential election in November, 1 ffA TV Un n I CrIUn mt BtiUM I JLM IICw A.Ui(S9 WHILE ROBBING SCHLET.

Petitions are being sent to congress men in Washington appealng for the repeal of the license tax on leaf tobac co dealers. This was a "war tax" and should be abolished along with many other burdensome taxes that were levied by Congress for support of the war with Spain. This license tax is a very burdensome one on small deal ers. A GREAT MORAL QUESTION. Raleigh Harbinger. We print this week some extracts from the Literary Digest, discussing the question of "whether a man can be a Christian on five dollars a week. We are Ilk s the old darkey who was receivir j, u..ieu under the tree from his r -1 n r, who was up the tree. ham . t mem down. He looked down piout". . and asked: - "Say, Sam, don't you ttlnk it a sin to take dese white folks' chickens T' "Han't say; dat am a great moral question; ain't got time ter argyfy it. Hand down another pullet!" It is a great "moral ques tion," and we scarcely feel able to give any decided answer to the question, but it appears to us one could not do a great amount of harm on five dollars a week. A MOST "AMOOSIN' 1 FIGHT. Rockingham Anglo-Saxon. The desperate attempt being made by a few dozens of people to stir up a fight against Judge Walter Clark for chief Justice of our Supreme court must be the most "arooosin' " contro versy In all history. They bring all sorts of wild accusations against him; they charge that the "Democratic ma chine" Is trying to force his nomina tion on the party; they try to make it appear that his nomination would be literal outrage to about ninetenths of the Democrats of the State; and yet, ain all the State they cannot find one lawyer of respectability who will avail himself of this widespread oppo sition, or who will so much as become a candidate against him lor this, one of the most honorable positions in the State government, with a good salary, and with an election for a term of eight years. OUR TEXTILE INDUSTRY. Wilmington Star. As North Carolina has the lead in the number of textile establishments she will doubtless hold it, for if textile manufacturing be profitable anywhere it will be in this State, for the simple reason that here are presented all the natural advantages that can be found anywhere, and more water power than can oe round within the same area anywhere on the continent. With a wa tershed extending; through nearly the entire length of the State, from the northeast to the southwest, discharging- the rainfall into the Atlantic on one side and the Mississippi on the other, It forms streams of unfailing and prac tically boundless power, which will be supplemented when desirable with electric plants to convey their power to mills remote from them, thus wid ening their sphere of potency and use fulness. It will not be manv years be fore there will be electric power plants on numbers of these streams, furnish ing power to drive machinery many miles distant from them. S Corporations and tne Covirts A From the News and Observer. We hear a great deal these days about thew ronga which Juries and courts inflict upon railroads and other quasi-public corporations. According to the writers who are now airing their ODinions. the average juror has no ob lect in life but to rob a railroad and the courts of North Carolina are or ganized to help the jurors in their un holy schemes of piuage. Is this indictment iterated iterated and reiterated In the subsidized press and echoed by the unfortunate, true If so, then the whole people of the State are corrupt, the courts should be dissolved, the jurors should be put in Iail and iudges impeached. If it Is true, then North Carolina Is a State in which capital is not safe" and in which iustice is denied. We believe that the charges, inspired in part, by those railroad officials re solved to pack the courts, and repeat ed by those who accept them without investigation, are not true, but reflec unjustly upon the character of the people and the integrity ot tne courts. We do not doubt that Injustice -s sometimes done to a corporation and that sometimes corporations try to corrupt Jurors. Wherever prejudice against a corporation exists, there can be no condemnation too severe; wher ever corporations seek to win verdicts by corrupt methous, punishment can not be too severe. But it is our con viction that the Juries and Judges in this good State are animated by a de sire to meet out even-handed Justice and to compel corporations and indi viduals to do equity. It is further more our deliberate Judgment that for every verdict against a railroad tinged by prejudice there is a verdict secur ed for them by methods that cannot bear the light. We believe that most attorneys who appear for railroads are honorable gentlemen who could not be employed to sleep with Jurors or do any questionable act, and we believe that most of the attorneys who appear against railroads are equally honora ble. The actions of courts and juries should ever be subject to legitimate criticism. If a jury is prejudiced against corporations and renders an unfair verdict there is no call to with hold fair criticism, but it ought to be specific and should deal with facts. If the decision of a judge is hostile to corporations let it be pointed out wherein he has erred in construing the law. Let us have fair criticism, but let us have an end of wholesale railings against judges and juries without specific facts to support them. During the, past week we have kept track of eight suits brought against railroads in North Carolina. In Franklin county, in a suit against the Seaboard Air Line, the judge refused to let the case go to the jury after the evidence was in on the ground that the plaintiff had not made out his case. In the Wayne Superior court, in one case for $10,000 damages, the Jury rendered a verdict for $100: two other verdicts --were giv en for amounts for much less than the sums for which suit . was brought. In the Circuit court at Greensboro, the railroad lost two suits and gained two. It may be that prejudice against rail loads or favoritism for railroads con trolled in some of these cases. We prefer to believe that the judges ana jurors did what they thought the de mands of justice required, and that in the main proper judgments were ren dered. Those who are so fond of advertis ing jurors as Ignorant and prejudiced and judges as animated by a desire to rob railroads, lose sight of the fact that most of the cases against railroads are settled out of court. Most railroads settle out of courts cases that are clearly against them, leaving to be tried only those where the evidence Is strongest against them cases where, in most instances, they are liable. The need in North Carolina Is this: To punish vigorously all men. whether representing corporations or individu als, who try to tamper with Juries, pack courts or manufacture testimony; to hold up to public condemnation an actions that are based upon corruption or prejudice; and to bring the power of public opinion the only effective permanent power to frown down upon corruption, prejudice and wrong-.- The best way to start this is for the press t- demand that the law agent of the Southern railway, sentenced to Jail for sleeping with , juror, serve out - his rentence at once, and to uphold the hands of judges and juror who pre vent Injustice against corporations. 5 The Donkey Who S Sized Up Society 5 By Dorothy Dix In the New . York Journal. - Once upon a Time a number of Ani mals, who dwelt In a great Forest, per ceiving that they were setting: it in the Neck from other Animals who had more Dough and a stronger Political Pull than they had. began to put m a sourballed murmur and to knock Fate. We do not like this way Society has of playing Favorites, they said, "for we have a Honolulu Hunch that all Creatures are born Equal, and that we are as good as anybody if not Better. Furthermore we object ' to having; to wear Ready Made Religion and It rubs our Fur the Wrong way to have to Vote the Ward Boss's Ticket and wear his Collar. So we will cut this out, and go where we will be the Only Thing." With these words the disgruntled Animals bolted the Convention, and after having provided themselves with an Inexhaustible supply of Grand father's Clocks for the benefit of Pos terity, they piked out across the Her ring Pond. For many years they were kept good and busy introducing the blessings of Dope and Civilization to the Simple Savages among whom they had gone to Live, but at last, as soon as the more fortunate among them had acquired enough Pelf to enable them to put out their Laundry and hire a Man to Make Fires, they began to grow dissatisfied with their Democratic Surroundings. "What is the good of being a' Super lor Creature, they cried, If you are not Superior to sorae one else? For we opine that the chief Pleasure In being on Horseback is to throw Dust on the lowly Pedestrian. "This- theory of Equality is a good enough Campaign Document, and it is still useful when you desire to run for Congress from a Rube District, but the balance of the Time it does not go with us. 'Between the Creature who plays Golf for Exercise, and the one who Hoes Potatoes for Pay there is a Great Gulf Fixed, and it is mere buncombe to speak of a female with a Tiara as be ing in the same Class with one who wears a Last Season's Bonnet. "Wherefore we- apprehend that it is our Sacred Duty to draw the Lines between the Sheep and the Goats, and and establish a Society that will be Copper Riveted, and have s. Combina tion Lock that it will take a Cracks man to break into." Thereupon a Number of the Animals elected themselves to be Social Arbi ters, but when they had assembled to gether it was found mat they could not agree upon what Lines to organize the Society Trust. Each proclaimed him self the only nectarine on the Geneal ogical Tree and wanted to nrce his Grip and Pass Word on the others. "I favor the Age Limit, cried one. that your family came in the Art and it is therfore clear that I should have the Call over those who merely floated in on a Raft." "It may be true," replied the others "that your family came in the Ark, but they are now on the Bum, and we opine that a Smart Set full of Has Beens is a Dead One." "PedigTee. exclaimed another, is the only thing upon which an aristoc racy can be based." "There Is much in what you say,' returned the others, 'but a Family Tree that has only three Branches does not cast enough Shade to make a comfortable Resting Place. Besides the Trouble in most American families is that you can not go far enough back without falling over the Wash Tub, or barking your Shins on a Hod. Many of us Possess lovely Coats of Arms, but we bought them in a Second Hand Shop, and they are only ours by right of Purchase. "Why should not Intelligence and Worth pass you through the Gate?' asked another, swelling out his chest but at this all the other Animals gave him the merry ha-ha, and begun stringing him for a Rube "What would any one do with such Impediments in Society?" they cried. "Besides they do not do Things that way abroad." Finally, seeing they were' about to make a Rough House, a Donkey whom no one had suspected of possessing such Sagacity arose and thus address ed the meeting: "It seems to me," he said, "that all the other claims for Consideration are mere Pipe Dreams and Hot Air, and that all that you need 'to qualify you for Society is the Price of Admission. It is a Show down of Dollars, and the real Social Arbiters arfe Bradstreet and Dun. As long as you have the long Green you are It, and when you have lost your Wad you have to go away oacK ana sit down, see?" "We perceive," replied the other An imals, "that you have the Proper Idea of an American Aristocracy, for where as, ir we were snort on Blood, or Brains, or Antiquity, we could never hope to get next. Providence may at any time enable us to Loot a Railroad or to do our Fellow Creatures so that we may become Shining Lights in So ciety.

The identity of a middle-aged, richly dressed wom an who committed suicide in Stockton on Friday night has been established by friends in this city. She was Mrs. Hammond Moore of New York city, the widow of Colonel Hammond Moore, on officer of the Confederate army who settled in New York shortly after the civil war. She came to San Francisco from Guatemala last May in the course of a tour around the world which she began three years ago and which hed just been concluded. The cause of her suicide is unknown. Buried in an Avalanche Graz, Austria, Feb. 4. An avalanche from Mount Bobratch has partially overwhelmed the village of Blelberg, near the town of Villach. A number of persons have been killed. Advertising (Alfred Kdmondson, Morecambe, Eng., in Retailer and Advertiser.) The most salient feature in mercan tile success today is the proper use of printers' ink advertising good adver tising. Resembling nature's most powerful laws, it is silent in Its working con tinuous progressive ever going for ward to acomplish its grand end the sals of merchandise until the hand of man effaces it or destroys its identity. A good advertisement properly plac ed is more efficient than a salesman, be he ever so good, for it gains aa au dience when the buyer's door is closed to intruders when salesmen would be refused admission; it appeals to read ers when they are in an impressive mood, thinking of buying, of their needs, and where those needs can best be supplied. Advertising rightly done attracts attention to a merchant's store, to' his wares, to his prices, ac complishing In one year more than could be accomplished in many years without its aid. Advertising enriches a merchant by iacreasing sales, with out proportionately increasing ex penses, enlarges a small business, de velops a large business, steadies ' a trembling one, and stays a solid one. Before this severe age of competition large businesses were built in spite of the fact that no advertising or but poor advertising was done by these stores; but today a store to succeed must advertise, must do the best of advertising, or their trade will pass Into the hands of more up-to-date and progressive merchants who know how to use printers ink. Good goods, reasonably priced, truth fully spoken of. are three thing mak ing for mercantile success. . but the greatest of these three- is the truthful announcement. 4 UT HOTEL LOBBIES. B". A.

More Shade Trees Needed From the Tryon Bee. Asheville has had the offer of 3000 Carolina poplars to be planted all over the city by both private citizens and the town. The donor shows his public spirit in rather of an unusual channel, but in a way worthy of emulation. Nothing so adds to the looks and com fort of a town as shade trees, and the wonder is where a city grows out of such a densely wooded country, that the trees should have ever been so thinned out, especially the residence portion.
