TIRED OF PROHIBITION.
Rhode Island Decides to Return
to License.

Providence, X. l., June 20. =
Prohibition has been defeated
in Rhode Island to-day by a
majority of rs. 500. This is
equivalent to nearly majority
of 100000 in Pennsylvania.
The wave of reaction against
prohibition has thus attained
lis highest mark in this state.
The Prohibitory amendment
was repealed by vote of s.
400 more than the thrce-6fths
Of the total vote necessary to
carry the amendment. The
total vote is :; Approve, rs
40; ; reject, 0,S5S. In 1886,
when the amendment was
adopted, the vote, which was
about I4,ooo smaller, stood !:
Approve, 1918; reject O.
a3o. The vote of this city was !:
Approve, II9I9;rcject, o,o4o.
Pawtuckct: Approve, 2,657
reject, 10. Newport Ap-
prove, 2,I2I; reject, 5000.
The vote will be officially
counted on or before July 18th,
and will be announced by
proclamation on or before July
goth.
Constitutional prohibition
was given a fair trial and
found To be SO marked a fail
urc that agitation was begun
for its repeal. The legislature
voted by an overwhelming
majority to resubmit the qucs-
ton to the people. This was
done in the form of an amend
mcnt repeating the Prohibi-
tory amendment. 1t requires
a thrcc-iifths vote To pass the
repeating amendment and the
"rcpealcrs" have carried the
day by large majority.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
CFrum our regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON. June 24.-
The so-called conscience fund
Of the United States Treasury
received another contribution
Saturday and one Of more than
the usual size. This was a
draft dated St. Louis, January
20. 1880, to order OF ]. II.
Armstrong for SI75, payable
by the National Bank Of Com
mcrce Of New York. The
note which accompanied it
said: please apply this to
the conscience fund"
Nobody knows just how
large the conscience fund" is
now. and it would take a long
time to find out, as the Treas
ury records showing the re-
ccipts since June so. 1855,
would have to be searched
through for the items. There
is no seperate fund or account
kept Of such moneys, and they
are put with the miscellaneous
receipts and reckoned as a
part of the Treasury balance.
When General Spinner was
United Staes Treasurer he
used to give the total Of the
conscience fund" in his an
nual reports, but his success
ors have discontinued that
practice. The reason why no
regular reports have been
made since General Spinncr's
time is said to be that ever re-
port was followed by a number
of schemes for spending the
money. Statesmen with an
eye to the main chance seemed
to think that this money ha d
cost the Government nothing,
was a sort of free gift in fact,
and therefore could be spent
without any fuss being made
about it.
The term conscience fund,
as generally applied to all this
money from unknown sources,
is a misnomcr. 1t is not alto
gcther made up Of contribu-
tions OF people who have rob
bed the Government and are
therefore troubled with re-
morse. A large part of it is
money which came, in a per
icctly legal way, into the hands
of people who did not think
themselves entitled to it. The
fund received its largest con
tribution from such a source.
when in 1873, Congress in
creased its own pay and many
of the members covered back
the excess which they received
into the treasury. The fund
was increased that year S25,-
So,. There must have been
more honesty or less con
science the year before that,
for in 1872 the contributions
only amounted to S.3. ao4, the
smallest in any year from 1864
to 1885.

Sit Down Gentlemen.


Attorney General Whytc
and the Hon. lsidor Rayncr
have gone upon the stump for
the apparent purpose ot re
forming the methods of the
Democratic party and their
uttcranccs have been read
with marked attention by the
community at large. Just what
these gentlemen propose to do
in their effort has not yet been
fully shown and without going
into details of their speeches
we might at the threshold stop
for an instant and ask the
gentlemen to kindly inform us
why they are found condemn
ing the very means by which
they have reached their pres
cnt party standing. If we re
member Alright they have both
been honored oft again by
election to high places within
the gift OF a Democratic ma
jorlty. They have both sat
at the public table and eaten
their fill of the good things
set before them and have ap-
parently enjoyed their meals.
Does it not seem ungratciul
in them to now come forward
and cast aspcrsions upon their
host, The methods now used
in the workings of the Demo
cratic party were in use at
the time these gentlemen were
successful candidates for the
offices to which they have been
elected. The methods are the
outcome of the teachings Of
the political apostles whom
they followed. They have
been educated in the applica-
ton of these methods and
have followed them in attain
ing whatever party honors
they have rcapcd. Why then
should they now rise and OBJ
jcct publicly to the very means
which they have never refused
privately to take advantage
Of in their various candidates.?
1t seems strange that they
have overlooked this point.
Has Mr.. Whyte ceased to re-
member that he is the founder
Of the present school of De
mocray? 1t is true that one
Of his pupils proited so well
by the teachings as to over
reach the originator of the
system of instruction. but is
this any reason why MIR.
Whyte should now condemn
the modes which he himself
originated? We do not think
Mr.. Whytc is At all consistent.
Since he formulated this mode
of procedure, and has prohtcd
so immensely by its practice,
we do not think he shows a
very deep admiration for his
own machine when he publicly
condemns it. Mr.. Rayncr's
idea of conhning the power TO
nominate to a body of seventy
five men will never be a 90.
No process by which man
has no voice in the selection
of his rulers will ever prevail
in this Democratic commu-
nifty. There may be flaws in
the way our primary meetings
are conducted, but they will

cation of men who only dis
covered the imperfections

nUKRAH FOR BUNCOMBE!
What ED!uCISy Son of Our Grand
Old County has Done.

The following romantic story we clip
from the New York World of the +th
instant. As to its truth we have no in
formation but there are men of the same
name now numbered amongst our most
cntcrprisiug business men:
Vim. Cooper, who is stopping at the
Coleman House, has had a remarkable
career. Born in Bunc"mbc County,
North Carolina, and reared i'll Texas, the
opening of the civil war found him carry
ing a muSket in the Confederate ranks.
He was severely wounded during the
war, and he has since gone through
enough to kill dozen ordinary men.
lust after the war a Mexican "greaser.
Oh the frontier in Texas, sent bullet
clean through Coopers head. He was
picked up for dead after Cooper's COM
panions had strung up the Mexican.
But Cooper didn't die, and few years
later found him penetrating the junglcs
of Africa. He carried with him a stock
of merchandise and made a small fortune
bartering for skins. He has been around
the world several times and speaks hall
dozen languages. Twice Cooper has
landed in New York with something like
500, 900 to his credit, but each time he
was buncoed out of it by so-callcd
friends.
But he is once more on the road to
fortune, and this time he means to stay
there. Three years ago he went to
Mexico almost strapped. He journeyrd
into Southern old Mexico almost to the
boundary line il Central America, very
little is known about this part OF Mexico
{ day. 1t is inhabited by the Aztec
Indians and the majority OF them are
wild and warike. Cooper had an idea
that precious stones could he found there,
and while ne was searching Tor them he
stumbled ON to what has proved to be q
very rich lind. He learned the Aztec
language and gained the friendship OF the
Indians. In the extinct crater of n vol
cano he found a large deposit of onyx
and mosaic agate. The onyx is worth
S12 square foot and the mosaic agate
is still more valuable. The supply is
apparently incxhaustible and Cooper
has made arrangements with the McNi-
can Government which gives him amono-
poly OF the business. The mosaic agate
is very rare stone. y stone somewhat
resembling it was found in Adrlan'S villa
i'll Rome, which was built many hundred
wears before Christ, None is known to
exist anywhere now except III Mexico
An illustration of the beauties OF our
tariff system is found i'll the fact that
although not a single piece OF onyx or
mosaic agate can be found i'll this
country, Mr.. Cooper has to pay duty
Of 10 per cent. ad valorem ON every piece

OHIO ELECTION.
The Latest Calculations OH Tnes-
days Battle.

COLUMm'S, O., November 1.-The indi-
cations are now, on figures received at
republican and democratic headquarters,
that the republicans will elect all the can
didatcs on the State ticket with the cX-
ccption of Foraker and possibly the lieu
tenant governor
The republican committee sent out
tclegrams to the county chairmen for the
vote on the respective candidates in the
counties, and they have heard from
thirtv-siX out of lightweight counties.
The returns show that i'll these counties
the balance OF the ticket, without much
variance in the figures, has received H.
900 votes more than Foraker, or rather,
the head OF the ticket has run behind
that much. On the figures it is cstlma-
ted that Campbell must have plurality
of at least 10000. The returns show
that all the candidates below lieutenant
governor ran about 900 ahead OF the
ticket in four counties alone, thus max
inc the contest very close and uncertain,
with strong probability that some OF
the republicans may pull through.
Lampson, republican candidate for lieu
tenant governor, was badly cut by the
liquor intcrcS' of Cincinnati. He was
charged with being prohlhltlonist,
while ON the Reserve, i'll the vicinity OF
his home, where the prohibition Senti-
mcnt is strong. his sentiments were
known to be in tavGr of taxation and

was placed between two fires, and to this
is attributed the small vote received by
him compared with the other republican

ASHEVII.LE'S LATEST.
The Enterprise of the I'reSbytC-
rian Church.

The committee of the Presbyterian
church Of Ashevile who had been author
lzcd to purchase an organ, have at last
completed their work. The contract was
awarded, through their manager, Mr..
F. Crosby, to the Roosevelt Organ Co.,
of New York City. The organ is to be
finished either on or before the first of
May and will be all i'll order by the time
the General Assembly meets, on May 15,
1890.
The organ will have nine speaking
stops. four couplers, three mechanical ac-
Ccssories, slx pedal movements, and two
manuals tor key boards.D 1t will be run
by water power. The width of the
organ will be nine feet and nine inches,
the depth ten feet and ten inches, and the
height sixteen feet and eight inches.
The Roosevelt Organ company has been
established comparatively recently. 1t
was first started in 1872 and has been
modelled upon the latest foreign studies
IN scientific organ building. The COM
pany is now working on a $4,000
organ, which is being erected by them
for the Auditorium at Chicago. The re-
nowned organist Clarence Eddy will
play upon this organ, when it is compile
ted. This fact alone is sufficient guar
antee of the value of the work done by
the company.
The organ now ordered by the com
mttce, will be the finest in Ashevile, al
though not the largest. 1t is more cx-
pensive than those of other makes, but
this is caused by its recognized superior
ity to other organs in the quality Of its
tone, its finish, and the advantageous
patents over which no other builder has
control.

How a Prominent Citizen Speaks
Of His travels.

"Givc me Ashcvlle for scenery" 1t
was Mr.. X. X. Rawls, the genial and
witty proprietor of the Swannanoa,
who made this remark He has Just re-
turned from months vacation and is
brm full of life and enthusiasm for every
thing that relates to Asheville. Well he
ought to be a good Judge of scenery. A
coaching trip through the most pictur-
esquc spots i'll New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania would make any one good critic
OF nature. Think of visiting the Switch
back, Delaware water gap, Lake Hopal-
cong, where Lotta's cottage is reflected
in the calm, mirror-like, eXpanse of water,
and of closely skirting along the shores
of the Delaware until Philadelphia is
reached. He has done it and has come
back as much in love with Ashevillc as
ever
well, why shouldn't | ;" he replied
when his friends expressed their surprise
at his undiminishcd belief i'll Ashevilc's S
superiority, after having been put to
such test. "Why S L. Bakcs, the pro-
prietor OF the Bristol house. corner of
Forty-sccond and Fifth avenue, New
York City, says there are only three
places fit to livein-Ashcville, Huntsville,
Ala, and New York City. Ha! ha.
Yes, admit that it may be little far
fetched, but not so very much after all
"By the way, Broadhead, the proprie-
tor of the Delaware Water Gap house, is
thinking of coming down here. At least
he intimated that to me when | was
there"
Speaking of lis coming here reminds
me of what Mr.. Clarke, the assistant
general passenger agent of the Pied
mont Air Line, said about the prospects
for this winters travel. He said that
they were making preparations for, and
expected more travel on their road than
they had had for several years. Then he
went on to say that the Asheville hotels
advertised less than any others and
asked the reason why. | told Clarke
that it was simple enough, as we were
full at any rate"
And Mr.. Rawls was right. Ashevillt
could easily support another hotel. One
of our largest hotels alone turned away
from eight hundred to one Thousand
guests during the months of April ant
May of this year.

a venerable Apple Tree.
We clip the following from the Farmers

we Clplne lOlloWlnS from the Farmers
Voice:
Seven bushels of apples have been
picked this season from an apple tree on
the Deaver property at Leicester The
tree was planted l27 years ago.
Western North Carolina has long sus-
tanned most favorable character ior its
fruit, especially its apples. 1t may not
enter the contest in the matter Of age of
its trees, but can easily beat the record
of bushels. Note the following which
was handed us by the first friend to
whom we showed the above statement
There is an apple tree on the place OF
John A. Orsborne, in Henderson county,
from which one hundred bushels of ap-
pies have been gathered for two sue,
cessive years. Mr.. w. ID. Miller picked
them"
We hope friend Miller will authorize us
to fully vouch for this remarkable state
ment, which now reaches us at second
hand, and that our other apple men
will speak out if any of them can beat it.
