FAvORs THE LIBERALS.
Canada About Ready For Reel
prOctty with the United states.

TORONTO, Ont, Feb. Is, 1S91.-Thc
Mail has made inquiries i'll nearly every
constituency in Ontario with the view OF
eliciting impartial opinions as to the
probable result of the elections in that
province. From one conservative county
comes the statement that the prospects
are good for the government; from an
other, that there is no desire to change
flags" and from third that Sir John
will no doubt hold the fort" Doubtful
constituencies send in reports like these:
"A great many thoughtful people think
the government will suffer heavy losses"
"the government majority will be greatly
reduced"
Possibly the most significant summary
of the situation is contained i'll these
words:
Unless Sir John Macdonald can give
the people some more positive assurance
than he had so far given that he really
intends to adopt more liberal relations
with the United States he is almost GER
tain to lose the country, which has al
ways gone with him."
This is a keynote of great many OF
the responses. The tendency of the re.
plies, taking them as whole, is decidedly
favorable to the liberals.

MONEY FOR OUR STREETS.
THE AMENDMENT TO THE
CITY's CHARTER.
To Submit to the People the Ques-
ton of ADprOpriatinx 100000
for the Improvement of Streets,
Schools, sewers, Water, Etc.

SCHOOLS SV"eTS, "ateT' f.tCs
$64O,OOO!
That's what Ashcvillc voters will pass
on at the May election.
J. M. Campbell has returned from Raj
eigh, where he went in company with
Mayor Blanton and !. b. Bostic, Of this
city, to appear before the house commit
tee on corporations in the interest of the
bill for the amendment of the
city charter, which that committee was
considering. These gentlemen were as
sisted in their arguments by Mcssrs. c.
M. Stedman, H. A. Gudger and 8. X.
Kepler, of Asheville, who were also in
Raleigh.
From Mr.. Campbell THE CITIZEN has
ascertained the most important features
of the bill, which the house committee
has reported favorably. The bill is Il
long one, covering twenty pages of type
writing.
The most important feature is to allow
the people to vote oman appropriation OF
$500 900 for street Improvements. The
city, if the proposition is carried, will
pave the streets and the owners OF
abutting property will pay for two
thirds of the work, while the city will
pay onc-third. The street railway com
panies will be required to pave between
the rails and eighteen inches on either
side. The property owners are gwen
from one to six years in which to pay
their proportion of the cost of this paw
ing. In the provisions OF the bill the
four banks of the city, the National bank
of Asheville, the First National, the WcS-
tern Carolina and the Battery Park
bank, are made trustees of the fund.
Another appropriation to be voted for
at the same time is 100000 for en-
larging the water and sewer systems.
The water supply, it is thought, will
soon be inadequate and will have to be
enlarged.
Then there is an appropriation OF S2O,-
900 for the completion OF the new mar
ket house.
And last, but by no means least i'm
portant, is an appropriation OF S2o,OOO
for the enlargement and perfection OF the
city school system.
There are several other amendments to
the charter, among them one to prevent
the holding by member of the board Of
aldermen of the office OF city clerk, which
is now being held by Mr.. Miller.
These questions are to be decided at the
election in May, at the same time the may
or and aldermen are voted for. The bill has
been drawn with the greatest care, Mr..
Campbell says, and every possible safe
guard has been thrown around the inter
csts of the voters OF the city.

in Legislation.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-There is going
to be grand struggle for recognition
during the last six days in the house.
Under the rules The last six days of the
present Congress are devoted to consider
alton of bills under a suspension of the
rules. Every member has one or more
measures he is anxious to get through.
Some of them are meritorious and Others
are not, but as general rule combina-
tions are made so that the bad and the
good have to go hand in hand to secure
successful action. Those members who
are to go into retirement after the +th of
March are especially anxious to get ac-
ton on pet measures they have worked
upon for many years. They realize that
this will be their last chance, and some
feel that if their bills are not fairly con-
sidered they will block the passage of ri
val measures.
