i In supporting the resolution, Judge
Thoman said:
4 offer this fully aware of the opposi.
tion with which it will be met. We are
on the eve of a great revolution, and |
want the Democratic party to be in the
front rank, instead of following in after
wards.
In supporting this resolution you do
not give up single Democratic princi-
pie, but you assert your manhood. For
"A years we could hold ourselves togeth-
er on dead issues. Now that we are in
power let us like men assert our man

to the wall. If it is for the offering of
this resolution and the declaration of a
principle | believe 70 be right, am
content. Vote the resolution down ifI
you will, but the time is coming when
the Democratic party will have this
plank in its platform. !"
Great excitement followed, until, on
The motion of saloon keeper who was
one of the delegates, the resolution was

Judge Thoman was one of the original

CHORUS:
Come, Burkitt, come kiss me good night
Nothing avails of all we've said;
They've whipped us fairly in the fight
So put me In my little bed.
Do you remember, Burkitt, dear,
You said that we must win this fight
We've over-shot the mark, [ fear,
And we'll get licked before tonight
The fighting men have left our ranks,
With Ryan, Potter, Tuck" and

They've all gone over to the cranks,
And they have surely got us down.

Books BOUND IN HUMAN NSKINs.-Follow-
ing the example of Mr.. Joseph Zachnsdorf,
who lately bound two Elzevir editions in
human skin, another London binder has ex-
ecuted an order to incase 8 copy of Hans
Holbein's "Dance of Death" in the same
ghastly iutegument, certainly very appro-
pirate covering for this work. These are
not the only instances, however, in which
the casing of human form divine" has been
utilized. In the library at Marlborough
House, near Methley, Yorkshire, there we're
formerly two books Sir John Cheeks ''Hurt
of Sedition" and Braithwaites "Arcadian
Princess" both bound in the prepared skin
of Mary Bateman, 1.-The Yorkshire WITCH"
who was executed early in the beginning of
this century for murder; but these were
among those which disappeared during the
cataloguing of the library for sale, when
one of the former Earls of Marlborough
was in difficulties Yet another instances:
When the writer was last in Paris he was
shown small book by dealer, who sol.
emnly avowed it was bound in portion Of
the skin of the notorious Louyet de Cou-
vray, and which lie valued at 1,000f., and
for authentication of which he produced a
long pedlgree.-Pau Mall Gazette.

MORE OF THE Potato BUG.

Editors Citizen Gentlemen: Seeing your
note in CITIZEN Of April 22nd, in regard
to the potato bug, I pen a line in reply.
The question where did it come from i
am we'll acquainted With the bug. In
the year 1882 it was discovered in the
mountains Of Cpiprado. Ia-iS45 it start
ed Eastwa d and has kept going all of the
time. II has reach d a1Toss aud scatter
ed through the most oi IiiUse provinces
Now you cannot Kill 1t by ploWing.
There are many ways to kill the bug.
The best IS to use Paris Green. | use one
part green to one hundred of middlings
that Is coarse flour. We call it coneu.
Very many use London purple, however,
l will take green every time. There are
many routes in the mountains that will
end them in a hurry. May apple for
one. we call it mandrake. CO to your
timer and get him to make two u"art
cup, put socket on it eight inches long,
fit four foot handle in it, mold broom
handle is the best thing, for bottom use
yours same as for meal. Now fit ends
tight, fill full andgo over potatoes early
IN morning or else after shower of rain.
Three times per year is all that is requir-
ed. Gentiemen, have been walking
and cannot write. Any one wishing any
further instructions can get them of me
by writing to c. N. White, Spring Creek,
N. G., with stamp enclosed. have had
twenty years fight them. One pound
per acre for one year, ought not to cost
over 123 cents per pound.
7 Jfyou feel 80 disposed, send one issue
of your paper to the above. address for
tnat l may sec this. / came from
Syracuse, New York, tii;Rk | may settle
here. e. n. WHITE.
P. s. Where any one has only small
patch of potatoes if taken in time they
can be had picked that is the old beetles,
they lay their eggs on the under side of
leaf, burn all eggs and keep out of smoke
or steam. There is two kinds of them,
the Colorado beetle shape Of turtle, then
the long black all bodied bug. s.-s-

[For the AshevIlle CITIZEN.
THE POTATO BUG.

Messrs. Editors II notice in your col
umns request for an effective means Of
destroying the potato bug. This creature
or its eggs cannot be destroyed either by
turning the land in the fall, or by cultiva-
ting it at any time. have given my
attention to potato growing for more than
three years and have some experience in
regard to the bug. This bug does not
hurt the potato till the vine comes above
the surface ofthe ground. Il then appears
upon the potato vines. This bug as well
as can describe it, is somewhat as large
and in the shape as a grain of coffee.
The only effective means have yet
found to destroy the bug is to take Paris
Green, put it in a fine Rieye or a cloth
that will let it through, 60 along the rows
of potatoes and dust it over the vines
where the bugs appear, and while the
dew is on the vines Where this touches
the bug it viii die within five hours.
This method must be repeated if the
bugs appear the second time. Paris
Green can, no doubt, be found at any Of
the drug stores in Asheville This is a
sure and tie only method Of destroying
said bug. ~. CHAMBERs.

Mrs. LA7HRoP AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
An audience filing the hall Of its
utmost capacity listened to! this dis
tinguished temperance speaker Tuesday
evening. Mrs. Lathrep is a member of
the national executive board of the w.
C. T. o., and president of the w. C. T.
Union of Michigan, She is employed
as speaker in the temperance cause by
the Prohibition Bureau of New York
City, an organization of comparatively
recent date of which we NAV have some
thing to7say in the future. She is a wo-
man of middle age, blonde complexion
and rather stout figure, with agenial and
affable expression, dignified and self
possessed, and thoroughly womanly in
appearance. Her manner of delivery is
easy and graceful and her voice pleasant
and clear. She possesses in great de-
gree that magnetic quality which is
characteristic of the real orator.
Mrs. Lathrop said she was here to as
sist the prohibition people of Asheville
in their efforts for success in the ap-
preaching election on the 7th of June.
Woman's true sphere was the home, and
it was because Of this that the necessity
existed OF the publicity of women in the
temperance cause The home was the
place most invaded by the liquor traffic
The Wonlan's Christian Temperance
Union was an organized RACKET, and it
would coptinue I lie agitation of Tire pro
hibition question StlntiI sg9teess ssas
achieved. 1t was the coming political
issue. The Woman's; Christian Temp per-
ance work was tidal wave which was
to sweep over the whole country. 1t was
| nIoyed.by Gods breath and would move
Gniuntil the desired result was accom-
plished. She firmly believed that the
child was now born who would live to
see the day whenthere would not be a
single legalized liquor saloon in this
broad land of ours. -
The liquor traffic ought not to be Iicens-
ed
The American nation If it is to be per-
manent must have it's foundation in the
home. The liquor saloon and the home
are antagonistic. Ifthe saloon is upheld
the home must 60 down.
The government cannot exercise sits
proper powers of protection to the c., ,lizen
and the citizens home if dependent up
hand in the same glove with the govern
ment. The legitimate power of the gov
ernment is becoming paralyzed in its
secret grasp while public affairs are con-
trolled IN the interest of the liquor traffic
through governmental action.
AS the result OF these inhuenc the pub-
public conscience is degraded and lowers
moral standards
Mrs. Lathrop's address was thorough
ly argumentative fortified by statIsti!
and interspersed with apt illustrations.
She held the audience complettlg under
sway during its delivery which .c,,npied
more than an hour.
