- "An Infamous" Lie."
This morning's Gazette contained
the following:
Editor of the Gazette:
Kindly allow us space to say to the
Ashevllle public that the statement, or
Intimation, in yesterday's Citizen to
the effect that any member of the
board of aldermen, directly or Indi
rectly, conveyed any Information of
Mr. W. T. Weaver's bid for city light
ing to the Ashevllle Electric company
or any one else la an Infamous lie.
(Sinned)
W. A. M.AIIt.
W. VV. WISHT,
D. C. WADDELL, JR.,
S. T. DORSETT.
J. H. WOOD,
R. J. 8HERRILL.
V. T. RAWLS.
The Citizen did not mention W. T.
Weaver's bid and did not say that a
member of the board of aldermen di
rectly or indirectly conveyed the Infor
mation. The only things denied are state
ments that The Citizen has not made.
Boers Meet Boors.
Strangely enough, the African Boers
find American Iioors in a fellow repub
lie.
"The president sympathises heartily
In the sincere desire of all the people
of the United States that the war which
Is now afflicting South Africa may, for
the sake of both parties engaged, come
to a speedy close. To deviate from a
atrlctly neutral position would be con
trary to all our traditions and all our
national Interests." This from Hay.
Senator Davis in the senate said the
Boer envoys had proceeded In a man
iter Irregular and highly improper. He
deprecated their undiplomatic course
and protested against enlisting the
people of the United States to bring
pressure to bear to Influence the ac
tion of the government, etc. Where-
upon by a vote of S6 to Secluded the
envoys from the floor of oi senate,
ana demonstrated the fact that the
legislative branch is a mere adjunct
to the will of the executive branch of
the government, and hae.no will but
bia.
It is refreshing In all this discourtesy
and subservience to British Influence
that Mr. McKlnlcy occasionally recog
nizes "our traditions."
The Burden of Spain.
The statement of General Woodford,
I'nlted States minister to Spain when
the war broke out, hs been already
referred to, but will bear repeating.
The general pal,! In an Interview with
a London correspondent fur an Ameri
can newspaper, a short time ago:
"The loss of her colonies means
Spain's rejuvenation. Rettef.after years
of strength-sapping anxieties Incident
to the government of her scattered isl
ands and the Philippines, leaves h r
statesmen free to work out the destiny
of their country. The war with the
t'nlted States was a blessing In dis
guise." It Is nut pleasant for an lntIUaent
American to contemplate the fn t !
that this government now siaixls in th i
old shoes of Spain and It In a fulr way
of meeting with her f.rte. Hut what 1
other outcome can there be If keen '
onTThTs "'country." says' th.CKahsaF'
expenditures of every kind Incurred by
the government In Its empire-building
experiment.
This vast outlay bids fair to Increase
Instead of diminish as the years go on,
if the present policy 'of Imperialism is
persisted In. In all the hundreds of
years that Spain w as engaged in the
bloody task of trying to govern unwil
ling, alien and unconsentlng peoples,
her subjects at home were kept drain
ed to the dregs by taxation, and her
young men, who might have added to
her home prosperity by their work in
the fields, factories and marts, were
drafted to do the butchery necessary to
keep their colonies In subjection. Fa
vored classes, Individuals and syndi
cates among the Spaniards profited by
the looting and the monopolies grant
ed to them In the Islands of the Occi
dent and the Orient by ' the '. Spanish
crown, but the great body of the Span
ish people were ground down under an
increasing load of taxation every year.
National bankruptcy was as great a
factor In causing the easy defeat In the
late war as was our superiority In men
and ships. '
HEATH'S RESIGNATION
TO RE DEMANDED?
HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR AP
POINTMENT OF NEELY.
Atlanta, May 31. A Washington spe
cial to the Journal says: .'.
"It Is generally believed that for
party expediency Perry Heath will be
asked to resign as first assistant postmaster-general.
Heath is responsible
for the appointment of Neely and has
been frequently grltlclsed for his part
in having the postal deposits of New
York city changed to his brother's
bank. It Is not alleged that he has
been dishonest, but as an example to
carry before the people during the
campaign It has been decided that he
must be sacrificed, ,
"While this report Is current It is
also alleged that Major Rathbone
former director of posts in Cuba, will
sail for the states next Saturday as
free as the bird ot the forest. Major
Rathbone, It is alleged, Is closely con
nected with the'postal frauds In Cuba,
but at the very beginning of the In
vestigation he declured that he was
under the protecting wing of Mark
Hanna, whose election he helped to se
cure. That his prophecy Is rue Is manifest."
SHOT TO DEATH.
ON HIS WAY HOME
ASSASSINS TAKE THE LIFE OF A
GREEK MERCHANT.
Birmingham, May 31. Late last
night while George Lambrakls, a well
known Greek merchant, was on his
way home he was flred on from the
darkness Just before reaching his door
and was killed. Lambrakls fired two
shots at his assassin before he expired.
The murdef is enshrouded tn mys-"
tery. As the dead man was not robbed
It Is believed the motive of the crime
was revenge. There Is no clue. Lam
brakls recently failed In business.
WARRANT FOR TAYLOR.
Frankfort, May 31. Circuit Clerk
Ford received an order from Judge
Cantrill this morning directing him to
issue a bench warrant for" the wrest
of former governor Taylor. The war
rant is based on the Indictment charg
ing Taylor with being accessory to the
assassination of Goebel. The warrant
was Issued.
