THE LEGISLATURES WORK
MANY MEAsUREs FOR AsHE.
WILLIE AND BUNCOMRE,
The Roads of fine County to BE
Kept Up by TaxatiOn-The Bun
cOlnbe Turnpike-A County Tax
Collector.

Collector.
M. l.. Reed, one of Buncombe's repre-
sentatives in the last session of the legis
lature, who returned home last weel
from Raleigh, has given to THE CITIZEN
an outline of the bills passed by that
body affecting directly Asheville and
Buncombe county. The most impor
tant of these bills are given below:
A road law for Buncombe was passed
by which the public roads of the county
are to be kept up by taxation. Power is
gwen the commissioners to levy an as.
sessment of not exceeding fifteen cents
on the 800 worth of property. This tax
is to be levied by the commissioners at
their meeting in June, and the improved
ment of the roads will be begun as soon
as the tax is collected.
The charter of the Buncombe turn
pike company was repealed BY this
action the care of the road running north
and south through Asheville goes back
to the county. There was provision
made, however, allowing the corpora
tons OF kenilworth and Victoria to keep
up the road from the corporation line to
the Swannanoa bridge. These corpora.
tons are allowed to levy a tax sufficient
to raise sum not to exceed $1,000 a
year, to be spent on the road.
A bill was passed giving the county
commissioners authority to appoint
tax collector for the county, thus separ-
atlng the collection of taxes from the
business of the sheriff's office. This is
not to be done, however, unless the COM
missioners think it advisable to do so.
The bill was intended to divide between
two officers the work now being done BY
one. and will relieve the sheriff Of great
deal of business.
A bill was passed by which the stock
law prevails over the entire county with
the exception of portion of Black
Mountain township.
The charter of the Asheville Young
Mems Christian Association was amend
ed, giving that body the powers of a cor
poration.
A bill for the incorporation of the town
vi l-elCeSter, ABOUT eleven miles from
Asheville, was was passed.
The charter of West Asheville, as to
ths extending of boundaries, was
amended.
A bill was passed Incorporating the
town of Hazel, two miles from Asheville.
Amendments to the charter of the c.
=. Graham manufacturing company, the
Mission hopital, and the Home for indig-
ent children were also passed
Numbers of other bills and charters
were passed in which Ashevileis more Or
less concerned, but the above are among
the most important.
While there was an almost endless
amount of local legislation done BY the
body recently adjourned, in Mr.. Reeds
opinion many measures were enacted
that will contribute to North Cardinals
up-building and advancement. Among
the most sensible things done by the legis-
lature, he..thinks, was the appropriations
tor geological survey and for an exhb-
it at the worlds fair in 1893.

EDITORIAI.LY VIEWED.
The killing at New Orleans Con.
demned and Approved.


SAN FRANCISCO, March 16.-The E1
aminer, in an editorial headed "The New
Orleans Butchery," says: "The massa
ere of the imprisoned members of the
Malta at New Orleans is not thing that
can be defended in cold blood. Every
man accused Of a crime has right to a
legal trial, but this right is reduced to a
mockery if we say that the trial must
have only one outcome.
The Chronicle says: "If vigilant ven.
geance is ever defensble it certainly was
in the case OF the people Of New Orleans,
Saturday"
The Call says: "The New Orleans Jury
may have been fixed, but the fact will
have to be very clearly established of in
disputable evidence before leading citi-
zens' will be justified in taking the law
into their own hands"
NEW YORK, March 16.-The Herald
says: Crime of every species and crimi-
mails OF every nationality and degree are
to be dealt with by the law of the land,
not the violence Of the mob. When citi-
zens resort to such violence they put
themselves on level with the criminals
they assail. The crime committed by the
New Orleans mob yesterday was the
same as that for which its Sicilan vic
TINS were MISREPRESENTATION"

the mob in New Orleans, and the United
States government has promised to make
an investigation. Secretary Blaine has
sent telegram to Governor Nichols, Of
Louisiana, in which, after stating that
three of the men killed were subjects OF
the king of Italy, he continues:
"The President deeply regrets that the
citizens of New Orleans should have so
disparaged the purity and adequacy Of
their own judicial tribunals as to trans
fer to the passionate judgment of mob,
a question that should have been ad-
Judged dispassionately and by settled
rules of law. The government of the
United States must give to the subjects
of friendly powers that security which it
demands for our own citizens who tenn
porarily under foreign Jurisdiction"

"Dr. Pearson has peculiar but mag
netic presence, standing erect, dark, frail
in face, much like A. H. Stevens. His
clear analysis, entirely Unconditional but

TACOMA, April I'll Especial. Some weeks
ago the Chamber of Commerce. on behalf
OF the citizens, invited the National Brew
ers' Association to visit Tacoma and the
adjacent hop-fields during their trip to the
Coast. The Ministerial Alliance protested,
holding that the citizens generally did not
want "liquor dealers" An explanation
was demanded of the chamber, and COM
mittee was appointed to investigate. This
evening at the monthly meeting of the
chamber, Nelson Bennett asked to amend
the report of the secretary by adding res
olution deprecating the propensities of the
Ministerial Alliance to meddle with the
politics and affairs of state. Mr.. Benefits
resolution, which wound up by stating
that while the chamber advocated respect
for the laws, yet it looked with greater
alarm upon this renewed attempt to con-
troll the affairs of the state through the
medium of the church, than any breach of
peace could cause. There was a full
attendance of members, and lively half
hour discussion resulted in the defeat of
Benefits resolution, and the adoption of
one approving the action of the chamber
in inviting the brewers to the city, and
that complete arrangements be made for
receiving them.
The action is considercda dampener on
the Ministerial Alliance. The brewers
will be at Tacoma June IA, Seattle June Is,
Port Townsend June IL, returning to
Tacoma the 18th.

- Indicate that the vote Of women, COM
pared to registration, was proportiona.e to
the male vote. Most of the women had
tne1r tickets prepared at home or at places
OF meeting, and their presence at the polls
was only long enough to permit them TO
deposit their ballots. Only few female
candidates appeared on any Of the tickets
ior any office higher than membership Of
the school board.
Returns from several cities show that
the Citizens Alliance did not cut much of
hgure, excepting where it Endorsed
democratic nominees. In those places
they successfully elected the Democratic
nominees. Abilene is the only city report
ing Citizens Alliance victory. Returns
from Leavenworth show that the en-
tire Republican ticket was elected,
the first Republican victory for six
years in that vicinity. At Lawrence
the Republicans also were successful.
They elected their full ticket with the ex-
cepfion of two members of the council
elected by the Citizens Alliance. At Clay
Center the Republicans defeated the Citi-
zens' Alliance, and at Wichita the Demo-
Gratis carried everything. Atchison elects
Republican officers, and Olathe mixed
set OF officers. with the Republicans in con-
troll. At Ottawa all parties combined
against the Republicans, but the latter
were successful
Returns from Kansas City, Kan, are

Where the Issue Was Between License
and Prohibition the Latter Won.
OMAHA, April All over Nebraska to-
day municipal elections were held under
the new law, which embraces the Aus
tralian plan of voting. Reports from
nearly every city and village in the
state indicate the law is one Of the best
ever devised. The general routine work of
receiving and counting the ballots was
greatly expedited. Returns so far show
that where party lines were drawn in most
Of the towns the question was between Ii
cense and no license, and the vote mainly
resulted in favor Of license.
LINCOLN, Neb., April Unusual inter-
est was attached to the municipal election
in this city today, and heavy vote was
polled. Lincoln elected q mayor, city
clerk, treasurer, seven members Of
the common council and minority
officers. There were three can
didates in the field for mayor,
Alexander. Republican; Ames, Demo-
Graf, and Weir. Citizen. Weir, the Citizens
candidate, is elected mayor by 500 plural
ity. The balance of the city ticket will be
divided between Citizens and Democrats,

ELECTIONS IN KANSAS.
Large Increase in tho Female vOte-CitI
zens, Alliance Eighta Old ParffAs

KANSAS CRY, April 7.-Elections were
held in Kansas today in all cities of the
first and second classes. Although with
out political significance, the results of
the election are regarded with consider
able interest for two reasons: First, be-
cause the Citizens Alliance has tickets in
parties. The Citizens Alliance is really
a branch of the Farmers Alliance. II is
organized on the same basis, and has the
same object in view. 1t is composed of
that element in cities that would join the
Farmers Alliance but for the fact that the
constitution of the latter organization
will admit none but farmers. This
element has been organized in cities
mostly since the Farmers Alliance
landslide last fall, and this election is its
first opportunity of showing its strength.
Much interest was manifested in the re-
suit on this account. The other element
in the election which attaches interest to
it is the fact that women, under the laws
of Kansas, are allowed equal suffrage with
the men in municipal elections. 1t had
been predicted that after one or two ex-
periences at the polls the novelty of the
thing would disappear and with it
women's interest in municipal politics.
This prediction has not been fulfilled. On
the contrary, the women's interest in
politics and activity at the polls have in
creased with each election.
The registration OF women at the present
election exceeded any former registration.
In Kansas City, Kan, the increase in
registration was smaller than in other less
metropolitan cities Of the state, being only
seventy-fiye. At Topeka the registration
list was augmented by about 400 new
names of women. At Wichita the increase
was about 800, at Leavenworth 200, and at
Atchison 20. At Kansas City, Kan, .245
women registered, at Leavenworth .. 74S. at
Topeka 2,740, at Wichita :, 800 and at Atch-
ison about 1,soo. In Kansas City, Kan.
all the candidates provided carriages to
take women to the polls. About two-thirds
of the female vote was cast there. The
women confined thei- interest in the cleo
ton to voting, and only in a few cases did
any or them resort to practical activity at
the polls. This activity was confined to q
few Citizens Alliance female leaders.
The number of negresses that voted in
Kansas City, Kan, was notable. They
marched 10 the poles with as much, if not
more. pride than their white sisters. and
they exercised their right of suffrage with
the satisfaction peculiar to their race.
