Two large electric lights swung near each
end of the ring and four other and similar
lights were hung in each corner of the
building.
BY 9:40 D. m. there were not 300 people
inside the club house After that hour.
however, matters began to assume a more
lively aspect. Fans were sold at good
price and the gallery began to shed their
coats. Among the prominent sporting
men who were at the ring-side at an early
hour were Macon" Fred Stevenson,
Charley" johnson, Bob" Turnbull,
Ned" Mallahan. "Tom" Gould, Dan"
Murphy, Jere Dunn. Denny Gallagher.
Jere Dunn, the referee, was the first Of
the 'leading'' lights of the contest TO
reach the club house. The seconds Of
Frank Slavin, Charley Mitchell and Ed
ward Stoddard, accompanied by "their
man, and Billy Muldoon and Mike Cleary
escorting their principal were also in the
building in good time. Those who came
early in the hope of witnessing some pre-
hnninary boxing upon the part of some of
the lesser lights of the ring were disap-
pointed. as no such appetizer was provided
by the management.
By 10 p. 10. the club house was not one
half filed, and the air reeked with to-
bacco smoke and humidity in spite of the
fact that the sixteen big windows in the
roof were open. 1t was claimed that the
building was capable Of holding 1900
people, and ] 800 tickets were said to have
been sold before the doors were opened.
At l0:30 p. m. the hour fixed for calling
the men 10 the ring, the club house was
only half filed and there were no signs Of
beginning the battle. BY 10:45 the audi

A Beneficent Law.

All the school books authorized by the
law TO be used in this state can be got at
about half the price formerly paid for
them. Thanks to the democratic school
book law. This is wonderful saving 10
parents. School book monopolies will not
get rich so fast now, nor will they corrupt
school officials and teachers as they once
did. Give us enough of that kind OIL legis-

Cieveland's Administration.

Cleveland's message of December, 1887,
was received by the protected bosses as an
open declaration of war upon them. His
administration in all other respects was
beyond criticism. The old methods of
integrity and cleanliness in public affairs
had been revived, and were in such strik-
ing contrast with the low standard OF pub
lie morals that has been witnessed during
the eLtire period of republican admins
tration since the close of the war that
even the plutocrats themselves were in
the mood to allow Cleyeland's reelection
If the fact could be established that he
would not antagonize their greedy aspira-
tions. Cleveland fully comprehended the
conditions upon which he would be per-
mitted to gain another victory at the polls
But he ignored the consideration of his in
dividual advantage at the expense OF prin-
ciple, taking the chance of defeat rather
than evade the question which he be-
lieved to be vital to the country's welfare.

Why They "squeal, !"
Auburn COurler.l

It now appears that at least part of the
complaint republican papers make against
the new assessment law is because it drags
in their friends, the monopolists. and
makes them give in their property hon
estly. We believe that when the new law
is fairly at work and honestly enforced it
will result in making the taxes OF the
common people lower, because it will
force wealthy persons and corporations to
return their property more honestly to
the assessor.

AT THE PELICAN CLUB.
Gibbons, the New Jersey Man, Too Much
for Verrol.

LONDON, June 16.-A glove contest took
place at the Pelican club between Glib
bons of New Jersey. the favorite at 5
to 4, and Jem Verrol, an English
boxer. verrol, who had an unbroken
record of victories, was the same age as
Gibbons, but of sturdier build and
scaled the allowance of 134 pounds fully,
Gibbons being 130 pounds.
In the first round Nerrol had a slight
advantage, in the second Gibbons got in a
telling blow on Verrol's Jaw, after which the
latter had difficulty in sustaining hostili-
ties until time was called. In the
third round Verrol made gal
liant stand but Gibbons easily main
tanned his supremacy. In the fourth
round Verrol again responded smartly,
but he was unable TO come to time altar an
other of Gibbons left handlers, and the con-
test was awarded to Gibbons. Neither OF the
men showed much sign of punishment. Glib
bons won $1,000.

Could Not be Granted-Press
and other Comment.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The main points
in Minister Fava's last letter to Mr..
Blaine lare these: "The reparation de-
manded by the government of the king,
as l have had the honor TO inform you in
our interviews held in the last few
days, were to consist of the following:
81. Official assurance by the federal
government that the guilty parties shou'I
be brought to justice. :
"2. Recognition in principle that an in
demnity is due the relatives of the vic
Tins"
To this Mr.. Blaine, in letter sent to
the Italian Charge di Affairs, replied in
part as follows:
81 have endeavorcd to impress upon
him Fava in several interviews that
the government of the United States is
utterly unable to give the assurance
which Marquis Rudini has demanded
Even it the national government had
jurisdiction over the alleged murderers, it
could not give assurance to any foreign
power that they should be punished.
The president is unable to see how any
government could justly give an assur-
ance of this character in advance of the
trial and verdict of guilty
SIN Baron Fava's second point he de
clares recognition in principle that in
dcmnty is due the relatives of the VIC
Tins. He is assurcdly under grave error
when he declares that the United States
government declined to take this de-
mand into consideration md shall re
! gret if he has communicated such cOnclu-
sion to your government The United
States SO far from refusing, has distinctly
recognized the principle OF indemnity to

ROME, April 2.-ln a long interview

United States government is willing to
materially compensate the families of the
New Orleans victims, but that it is I'M.
possible for the Washington govern.
ment to place the lynchers on trial, that
being a matter for the grand jury in
New Orleans to decide. The premier
insisted that ltaly's dignity demanded
that the culprits should be punished.
Allcndeavors to obtain an opinion upon
the present crisis between the United
States and Italy of Minister Porter here
have proved futile. 1t is learned, how
ever, that he has done much to pacify the
Italian government, and that he ha,
won over to his way OF thinking tn,
other ministers, several of whom hat
been trying to induce the Italian premier
to be less hasty.
The idea of war is secuted here in dip
lomatc and government circles ano
even Baron Feva's final withdrawal i,
not definitely decided upon. 1t is sale
that even il Baron Fava is withdrawn
it will be done only as the most forcibl,
protest known in diplomacy and not al
forerunner of conflict between th
United States and Italy. The Italian
cabinet ministers are in receipt of larg
number of cablegrams and letters from
Italians in New York city urging moder
alton upon the Italian government in it
treatment of the New Orleans trouble.

The withdrawal Of an ambassador is the

was evidently meant to convey to the

a DEADLY VIPER.
"Fair Play" Says II Turks i'm the
improvement Act.

EDITOR THE CITlzEN:-As the infamous
law that was so clandestinely hurried off
to Raleigh and secretly passed is dead, or
has exploded; so nearly so that III ven
ture the assertion that not 100 freehold
ers of the city will vote for it, I'll make
a suggestion: that is, that our present
city fathers pass resolution declaring it
unjust and to be Stunned as a deadly
viper; and submit to vote
on the 4th of May proposition
to borrow, say 100000, to be
equally spent in the four quarters of the
city. When such fund has been spent
to the entire satisfaction of the tax
payers they shall have another and then
another $500, 900 until Asheville is placed
upon solid foundations; this debt to
rest evenly on all the hotels, barrooms
and merchandise of every name and or.
der, as well as on the homes of the poor
and those powerless to pay this tax.
This will be fair play, and will be voted
almost unanimously, and will soon lift
us out of the mud, provided we elect a
mayor and council equal to the task,
without six men to sit as watch dogs at
their heels, which would be disgrace to
the fair name of Asheville and stigma
for years TO come.
suppose 1t is unnecessary to discuss
law so full of such lamentable, not to
say corrupt, provisions. Yes, a law that
would tax Dan Cauble's $1,000 home as
much as Col. Coxc's, worth $500, 900.
Yes, tax Dan Brown on his 5000
cabin double what you would the

Yes, an unjust and unheard OF law

law that would sell a mans home for

able to pay the first. challenge the
world to show its equal Yes, an unholy
law that collects from the landholdcr
money to place in the hands of a bank
fourteen to twenty years before it is
needed, and if he redeems his home at all,
pay 20 per cent. The bank pays 5 per
cent. if anv at ALL
say down with such law and its
uphold.rs. There are MANY dark pages
in the history of this Infamous measure.
One Of the active agents in its get up re-
marked it must be kept secret until it
could be passed. A city official cursed
because the one in charge was so slow in
getting it through the legislature; and
further effort was made to have it pass
without its being submitted to the peo-
pie.
Again, the proviso that it should be
be called up every time one-third of the
voters would petition for it, and ma
jority of votes cast, instead OF the time
honored custom OF a majority of the legal
voters.
Why vote for such law when we car
raise all the funds needed by law that
has no Objectionable features
