ResistInG an Omcer should Bring
ON a Heavy Fine.

A&cOlOthnx An OmCGr 0nOulO br1nA Z
ON a Heavy Fine.
There is considerable indignation man
ifest .,mong the members OF Asheville's Z
police force now.
This state of things has been brought
about by the action of Recorder Miller
in several instances, in the matter ot
hning disorderly persons for resisting
when arrested bv an officer.
Section 765 of the city code says
ANY person who shall assault, oppose
or resist, or in any manner abuse or in
suit any officer of the city or member o
the police while in the discharge of any
duty shall be fined twenty-five dollars. >
The fines for resistance as imposed by
the recorder, have usually been from
$3.50 to SIS. The police think such fines
too light and that the limit OF the ordi
nance should be applied. Cases Of res's
tance and fighting the police are o
weekly, sometimes almost daily, occur
renee.
As case in point. that which hap.
pened on Friday night on South Main
street is cited. Four burly fellows came
over from Vanderbilt's. One of them had
been tried some time ago for being drunk
and resisting an officer. For being
drunk he was fined SIS, and for resisting
So. Last Friday night this fellow and
his friends filled up with liquor and be-
gan row. Two officers went to arrest
them, and were set upon bv the roughs
and bad to defend themselves with their
"billies.' One rough, after being put
under control told the officers that he
didn't care for $S-he would paw that
any time to whipa policeman He
referred to the SO he had been fined once
before by the recorder
The police refer to numbers of cases OF
like character. and are discontented
about what they consider lack Of pro-
lection for them.
1t is believed that with fixed fine OF
$25, cases Of resistance would be fewer

Rev. w. a. Nelson Causea Aie
Many Friends to Rejoice.

Rev. W. A. Nelson announced to his
congregation at the First Baptist church
yesterday morning that he had decided
to remain in Asheville.
Rev. Mr.. Nelson has been for some
time, on account of his health, undecided
as to whether he should remain in Ashe
vile during the winter months. At on,
time it was feared by his friends that he
would give up his charge here for that
reason.
But the announcement yesterday of his
determination to remain here set all
doubts to rest. The congregation is
therefore, greatly rejoiced at the beloved
pastors decision. Not alone his own
congregation, but hundreds OF friends ot
every denomination in Asheville, will be
glad to learn that this popular man o,
God will stay here, and will pray that his
health will remain such az to give him
no cause to regret this decision.

TIE APPROPRIATTONS.

The general appropriation yesterday in
troduced in the house covers appropria-
tons aggreEating the startling sum of
S244, 6S4.65. This covers salaries and
c~ontingeBt' in somo instances extending
over Eve months more time than the usual
two year period, but it will nevertheless
staItle the people into a realization OF the
increased expenses which statehood en-
tails, In addition to this there is a de-
deIencY appropriation which em-
braces items aggregating over $40, 900.
To meet these latter expenses there is, Of
course, money now in the treasury. But
there is one important item hat must yet
be met, and tia, is the Appropriation for
the Wyoming exhibit at the worlds fair.
No one cognrEant OF the fact. that we have
vet heard talk on the subject, appeared to
believe that We could make any sort Of a
showing on less than 100000. When it
wifh which We will be brought into com
%pefition will spend from ten t. fifty times
that amount, it can be conceived that
even with this expendiur IRE We canDot ex
pect to ourshine any OF our neiVhbors.
The appropriations of the present legisla-
ture, from the pr, sent outlook, may be
exp cted to fall but liile below 1880. 900.
This circumstance alone, it seem TO us,
would justify ) veto of the university
bill MS it rog stands and it's modification
in so far as the $4,000 o in the state
treasury to its credit Is concerned. We
eau see n great deal more justice in this
course than we could in denying an
appropriation of 5000 to save the walls
of the new Rawlins penitentiary.
The legislature should not forget that
no method has yet been provided for Sc
curing to the state any more revenue than
it had last year. Senator ChatteIton's
bill taxing the coal output should at least

SOME HARD BLOWS.

N~ ~
Things have a bad look in Wyoming.
The convention of so-called mining men
there, last week. handled the silver
question very much as the convention of
national bankers on Wall street would,
and THE CHEYENNE LEADER referring to

prehension we're it not Tor the fact that

THE MAN AND THE PLACE

The Democratic party OF Cheyenne is
to be congratulated on the nomination
which it Yesterday made for mayor. The
city is faced by a peculiar situation. 1t
is absolutely necessary that we should
make costly public improvements this
year. At the coming city election the
people will vote upon the issue Of tonds
for yiaduet construction aud water works
extension amounting to 1926. 900. If the
people should conclude = vote these
bonds they naturally desire to get the
hest possible results for their money II
dollars worth OF work for every dollar
expended. If they want the water
works system extended and amplifed they
will want their money so expended that
permanent aud adequate results may be
achieved.
For these reasons and because of the
further fact that city affairs have been
managed with more regard to politics
han to public god, they demand a ,t.o1r
practical man as the chief executive. We
need, in the first rlace, a man to whom
the salary attaching to the off e is not
the only inducemeDt TO the mayor to do
his dutv. Next, he should be a man OF
property interests so distributed that the
claims OF all sections would be sure Of a
hearing, If he mas had previous expert
ence in the mayors cfice. so mnch the
better. but above all he should be a man
of large experience in the construction of
public works and so situated that If nee
essAry he could devote his entire time to
his official duties.
Mr.. Bresnaken is a man who fits this
case like a glove. His property interests
are varied aud well distributed in all sec
tons OF the CITY. He has been three
times mayor oF the city, and he has left a
record in the office OF which any citizen
mas well be proud, Were it not for his
bold stand the city water works would now
be owned by a private corporation, who
could practice all sorts OF extortions upon
tho people. His successful efforts to i'm
prove the city fuaaces are still remem-
bered. for to him is largely due the credit
OF having brought the city scrip from ten
cents on the dollar to par.
During the present year public I'M
Drovements are projected on a large
scale. In undertaking. of this description
the services Of Mr.. Bresnahen as mayor
would be especially valuable. AS a mem
Der Of the capitol building commission he
was assigned the labor OF experimenting
the construction on behalf of the commiss-
ion, aud the work which he then performed
called forth unqualified enconiums from
every member OF the board.
The people are anxious to have a
thoroughly equipped man In the mayors
char during the coming two years. Tho
Democrats put Mr. Bresnahen forward in
the confident belief that be will gil pub
lio expectation from every point Of view,
feeling assured that in this belief they will
be sustained By a majority Of the voters
of Cheyeune.

Once, when travelling III Montana, (
had TO stop in n small settlement many
miles from a city, says a contributor.
A clhld was sick in the house, and a
neighbor who had q reputation rs an
amateur doctor was sent for. He was
an intelligent man. and after q few
minutes pronounced the disease to be
diphtheria Or group. or n little of both.
While the distracted father mounted
his horse and rode off after a doctor
the neighbor proceeded to get some
turpentine and burn it.
The smell was pretty bad, and lie
nearly suffocated both himself and his
patient. The physician arrived at mid
night and found the child vomiting.
Instead of accusing the amateur of
being a quack he said quietly hat it
was clearly a case of diphtheretic Group,
but that the turpentine treatment had
removed the child from danger. His
words proved true. and l don't see why
a remedy when proved effective In a
