THE average conservative, industrious
citizen, be he artisan, merchant, or
mechanic feels that he is entitled to the
use and control of that for which he has
paid his money. If he has deed in fee
simple for an humble home, no intruder
has a right to drive him from it; or if he
owns farm he has a right to control it,
and the law will sustain him in main
tanning that right. Wherein does the
law make any discrimination between
the farm owner and the factory or mill
owner, and is it not the policy of good
government to hold sacred and protect
the property rights of all classes alike?

IT is admitted on all sides that with
the exception of the candidate for Au-
ditor, not a man on the Democratic
county ticket stands ghost of a chance
of success against the competent, hus-
Ting and popular men named by the
Republicans. If the Democratic candi-
date succeeds in election, he will succeed
simply because Republicans vote for
him. The Republican managers in
every precinct should look to it that the
supreme effort of the Democracy be met
at every poiut.

SEVERAL new features developed in
the Homestead troubles the past week.
The Carnegies offered to take back the
old men, but none came in. On Tues
day warrants were issued for the arrest
of the leaders of the strikers on charge

now imprisoned awaiting a hearing
next Friday. Others are to be arrested
and tried. The mills are yet idle and
the military are yet encamped about
them.

IT is questionable if the delay in
choosing chairman for the National
Republican Committee has been any
disadvantage to the party, for it has re-
suited in the selection of one of the
very best men who could have been
found. Tom Carter, of Montana, is a
man whose experience in politics, tre-
mendous capacity for work, and per-
sonal enthusiasm for President Har-
rison's success, well qualities him for the
leadership of the party's campaign.

THE Cotton Manufacturers Associa-
ton, in session at Fall River, Mass, last
week, resolved to incre .se the wages of
all operatives on piece work, and to pay
as much for fifty eight hours work as
was heretofore paid for sixty hours work.
This is one example of thousand where
wages have been increased by the wise
provisions of the Mckinley bill.

THE Democratic Congressman who
hastened to Homestead for campaign
thunder returned to the capital with
enlarged ideas of the wonderful devel-
orment of American steel mills, and of
the condition of we'll paid and prosper
Gus wage workers, but found not a single
pin upon which to hang an effective
attack upon the Mckinley tariff law.
They found rather the great principles
of Protection working to the benefit of
mill owners and wage earners alike.

To THE hundreds of farm and other
laborers in agricultural districts like this,
who receive from fifteen to twenty five
dollars or less a month, the $144 a

testified that he gets, looks like fairly
comfortable wages. 1t takes six or
eight farm Iaborers to earn as much as

A MAN who pays his employees from
four to sixteen dollars a day should not
be denounced for an inhuman monster
because he wants to reduce wages a

half as much as the average Homestead

The Chicago Inter Ocean challenges

wages of one hundred of its best paid

Carnegie's Homestead establishment,
and the Herald, which has had so much
to say about the starvation wages at
Homestead has thus far declinad to &C

WHAT THEY WANTED.
SUNDAY school Children ASK Tor
Christmas presents.

One of Ashevilc's benevolently inclined
Young ladies, with the view OF promot-
ing the happiness of as many people as
possible during the Christmas festival,
short time ago asked her Sunday school
class to each write note to her stating
what article they wanted Christmas
The children were prompt, to be sure, and
very soon the teacher received a large
pack of notes and letters. When these
were opened they were found to contain
a variety of requests that could be CON
iured up only in juvenile minds. One
youngster, thinking first OF his appetite,
asked for basket of oranges, while an,
other, with all eye to business, asked
that he be given pony and dogcart'
One wanted a gold watch, another
wanted a gold ring, while five little folks,
of one family, asked that they each be
given two bushels of Irish potatoes, a
peck of sweet potatoes. a peck OF or
anges and a suit Of clothes. And so it
went round until all the pupils had had
their say. Now, they're waiting tor
Christmas and their presents.

FLOWER MISSION.
The December MeetinR-NeedIe
work Guilds Work.


The ladies of the Flower Mission send
THE CITIZEN this report Of the last meet;
ing of the workers in this good cause;
"The December meeting Of the Assocla-
ted Charity of Asheville was held at the
residence of Mrs. ]. A. Burroughs, on
Monday. After the regular reports of the
superintendents, the city missionary, and
the secretary of the Central office had
been read. the president spoke of the
success of the Needlework Guild, a branch
of which was formed in Asheville last
spring. At the first annual meet
ing in October one hundred and
twenty new garments were sent in,
many of them for children, to be given
to members of the kindergartens,
schools and Sunday schools, whose pa
rents are unable to provide suitable
clothing. The condition of membership
in this Guild is so simple, only two new
garments and one meeting annually, and
the results so far-reaching that we hope
to add many new names to our list dur
ing the coming year.
"a Christmas dinner at the almshouse
is given each year by members OF the
Flower Mission; but we should be pleased
to receive from anyone interested in the
work, contributions for this dinner, all
articles ready to be served to be sent to
the residence of Mrs. Sluder, ~ North
Main street on Saturday, December -,
before noon.
"Christmas packages of clothing, toys,
ETC., will be gladly welcomed at the Cen
tral Office, 90 Spruce street, any alter
noon between the hours OF two and five
and in this simple way everyone, rich OF
poor, will have the blessed privilege o.
bring the brightness OF this Christmas
tide into many cheerless homes" D."

1t is rather early to be expecting can

Mayor Blanton yesterday, for the pur-
pose of getting an item, whether he pro-
posed to be candidate for the Mayor
atty or for the postmastership. The
Mayors reply was prompt:
81 don't know, positively, whether |

think | will, 1t is too early to speak
positively on the matter, but right now
/ don't think will be candidate. !

there are other good men in Ashevllle
who could fill the position, and who
want it. So, | don't think I'll run.
There's only one condition upon which

did not say what the condition was. lie
