The fire spread as rapidly ON all sides

THE CI.OTURE RULE.
The Republicans Will Probably
Put Il Into Force.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-lndications are
not wanting to evidence the purpose of
the majority of republican senators to
terminate the debate OH the election bill,
which has occupied the time of the sem
ate since it assembled, nearly month
ago.
AS to the treatment OF the cloturc res
olution when il comes before the senate,
il is learned that il is the intention of the
majority to allow n reasonable debate
upon the proposition, but when it APP
pears that the question is not being de-
batcd upon its merits, then an effort will
bc made to close the discussion and a
vote upon the adoption of the new rule
An intimate senatorial friend of Vice
president Morton said to-day that the
latter had not yet made up his mind as
to the course of action he would pursue
when the fight over the cloture rule
really began. He is. however, just now
an earnest student Of precedents.

THE BOARD OF TRADE.
A LETTER FROM PRESIDENT
GEO. .. POWELL.
He ~ i'm Favor of q ReOrxaniza.
tion and Gives Reasons for the
For the Fail Of the Old BOard-DO
the business Men wantIt?

|
George S. Powell. president of the
board of trade, is in favor Of the perma-
nent organization of body to do the
work intended for one ofthat kind. There
once was an organization in Asheville
known by that name but II apparently
no longer exists. The communication,
printed below and written by Mr.. Powell,
is of vital interest to the business men in
the city and to everybody interested in
the prosperity of Ashevillc as well. 1t
says:
To the business men OfAshcviic.
At the close of each year for the past
five or six years il has been the custom
of q few business men Of the town to
meet together in the name OF the board
of .rade of Ashcvillc and to elect officers
for the ensuing year.
With the above named exception the
board of trade has had no existence.
There have been no meetings, no men,
bcrship fees nor dues collected, and III fact
nothing outside of these annual meetings

trade.
Two years ago at one of these meet
ings was elected president. At the close
of the year called a meeting for the
purpose of rendering my annual report
and for the election of officers for the
year 1890. The report was made to
empty benches, and not having any one
present to contest the election, unani.
mously declared that had a perfect right
to hold over, and in order to get even on
the trade report business, ordered that
it be published at the expense OF the
board. The press felt sorry for me and
did not send in the bill. Thus quietly
and peacefully died the board OF trade
twelve months ago.
What were the causes that brought
about the failure to keep alive SO i'm
portant an organization? Answering
ior myself. / would say: First. n want
of interest on the part OF business men
generally in the public affairs Of the city
second, the membership fees being fixed
so low as to prohibit the employment OF
a secretary and the renting of suitable
| rooms Tor meetings. These l CONSIDER
the prime causes OF failure.
Ny idea is the organization OF cham
ber of commerce or business mems asso-
citation OF some kind for the purpose Of
advancing the interests OF Asheville and
to discuss and take part in all measures
affecting her growth and prosperity.
1t is only by cooperation that wecan
accomplish anything. The business men
of Ashcvillc are not wanting in public
spirit and energy and only want to get

The Childrcn's home contained many
happy hearts last night. A beautiful
Christmas tree, heavily laden with toys.
candies, etc., had been provided for the
children of both home and hospital, num-
bering thirty-two. and the employees of
both institutions. At $50 the door was
opened and the children marched in singing
their kindergarten songs, and the eager
joyousncss on the bright little faces,
as they gazcd on the fairy tree,
was sight not soon to be
forgotten by those privileged to witness
il. Not only did each child receive an
arm full Of toys and goodies" such as
they had never dreamed OF in their lives,
but each will soon have an abundant
supply of warm and comfortable cloth
ing. The committee in charge most
gratefully acknowledge their indebted
ness to the friends who assisted in this
work, and regret that all were not pres
cnt to see the happiness bestowed.

TOPEKA, Kas., Dec, 29.-The following
interview with President Frank Nc
Grath would indicate that the alliance
has for the present decided to drop the
third party movement. He says;
"Thc agitation in the south over the
Lodge bill precludes the possibility OF
any independent movement at this time.
While in Ocala, investigated the con-
ditions ms thoroughly as my limited stay
would permit, and came to the con-
clusion that more time was needed. 1t
will come about in time. but the time is
not this year."
The delegation of Kansas editors. which
has returned from tour through the
South, having made thorough investi-
cation of the farmers movement there,
found that a large majority of the South
crn farmers believe in working for their
reforms within the democratic party.

deavor to have a writing executed

your office whom you know to be
perfectly responsible. He tells you
to sell Brown a thousand dollars

he will answer for that, ETC.; make
him sign memorandum. A custom

him sign it in writing. You engage

With the Left Hand.

The bank clerks are so often called
upon for directions that they fall In
to the habit of giving them in a hur-
ried and mechanical manner, conse-
quently they are frequently misunder-
stood. The usual formula when a
stranger is called upon to sign his
name is: Sign there-pen and ink
at your left hand" One day not
long ago a stranger entered one OF
the large banks and asked for a GER
tificate of deposit for considerable
roll of money which he handed over.
The clerk counted the money found
the amount to be rs stated. and
hurriedly said Sign there, sir.-pen
and ink at your left hand" 1t APP
peared to the clerk that it took the
stranger a long time to sign his name,
but he thought nothing more OF it
and issued the certificate of deposit.
About week later the same man
reappeared and presented the certifi-
cate. AS the clerk sees so many faces
each day he did not remember this
man when he asked him to sign his
name. He dashed off an ornate sig
nature which the clerk proceeded to
compare with the first signature
The two were vastly different, as the
first one was apparently the labored
effort of an old man. Il can't pay
you this money, SIR" said the clerk
"Why not?" asked the astonished
stranger. Because this is not the
signature of the man to whom | is
sued the certificate of deposit" was
the reply. as he your father OF
grandfather" The stranger was
dumfounded. "When | was here YOU
told me to write my name with my
left hand, and did so, but / can't
write that way" A light dawned in
upon the clerk now. "Will you write
your name with your left hand now?'
he asked, The man labored hard and
produced fac-simile OF his first sig
nature, and the clerk apologized and
paid him his money.-Chicago Her.
