THE rapidity with which the paving
between the rails was done on Patton
avenue last night and today shows how
intolerably slow the paving generally
goes forward. The same rush and energy,
ifcarried into all the street work, would
finish the paving in six weeks.

THERE was no excuse for that secret
meeting yesterday of the Joint board
The purpose of the city to pull up the
Patton avenue track might have been
declared openly and the date of execu.
ton of the determination left to con.
lecture. Then the work could have been
done last night just as it was done with
probably no attempt at interference on
the part of the Street railway company
Secret meetings are not i'll accord with
the spirit Of the age and our democratic
form of government.
We believe the action of the Joint
Board in ordering the tearing up of the
Asheville street railway compauy's
track on Patton avenue is justified by
the failure of the company to pave be-
tween their rails. The matter was
brought to a square issue between the
city and the company, and the city could
not fail in its duty without acting the
coward. Happily the convenience of the
people is little disturbed by the lack OF
cars between the square aid the post
Office. and we should not be surprised il
no rails were ever put down over that
space again.

NEW LIGHTING CONTRACT.

The Peoples Light, Heat and Power
company-called by the irreverent the
Peoples pole and poverty company-has
not lighted the city to the satisfaction
of the people-except with promises.
Nevertheless, some months ago, when
the incapacity of the company had al
ready been clearly shown-the aldermen
extended the city's contract with the
company and at an advanced price, pro-
viding no penalty in case of failure to
fulfil the contract.
The aldermen have now extended the
contract of the Peoples Light, Heat and
power company till 1s97on promises only
and at figure per light, $110, which is al
together too high, some cities doing
their own lighting for less than $50 per
light per year, and contracts for $50 and
for 500 are not uncommon. with, too,
no water power to lessen the cost OF pro-
duction.
We say the aldermen have extended
the contract on promises only. That is
the fact and it does not necessarily call
in question the sincerity Of the promises,
taken by the aldermen at par, to say so.
But every man with a grain of business
sense knows that the $4,000 of the
city's money has been pledged in an irreg-
ular way. If the Peoples Light Heat, and
Power company wanted an extension Of
their contract, let them earn it in open
market, and by being the lowest bidders
against all competitors. Then, having
got their contract in an open, business
like way, let them put in their
$15o,0oO plant andproceed TO light the
citv by it when that contract went into
effect.
How many Of the aldermen would
vote their own money away onpromises
from a source already proven to be un-
worthy of credit Not one.

Gov. Buchanan has now taken to ex,
planning why he saved King from the
gallows. He says:
First, l thought that King should
have had change of venue. Affidavits
to the effect that Juror Smith had com.
municated with outside parties and ex.
pressed an opinion about the case were
filed with me. These affidavits could
not be introduced in the court of records
because it was too late. The action Of
Juror Martin and of the jury in going to
Arkansas to deliberate on the case had
their weight, too"
The Tennessee papers say that every
point raised by the governor was passed
upon again and again by the highest
legal talent in the state. The commu-
tation was simply case of wealthy
man with influential friends, and weak
governor.

vices on the Board of aldermen could be
if he would attend the meetings regu-

in stating that THE CITIZEN had de-
manded his resignation. An intimation
appeared in this paper recently to the
effect that Mr.. Gudger ought to attend
the board meetings or resign; but Mr..
Gudger should remember that THE ClrI-

some of which it approves and some
otherwise. TIRE CITIZENS opinions may

WHO KILLED COCK ROBIN?
Reed Presents a Cartoon to Mills Ilustra-
ting the Outcome of the Silver Fight.

Ex-speaker Reed gave his opinion of
the present condition of the Democrats
in Congress Tuesday, in a way which
aroused great merriment. Reed drew a
picture on huge sheet of paper, repre-
senting two figures in pugilistic attitudes
and one figure under an umbrella, while
all around heavy rain was falling. I'm
der the fighting figures were the words:
"Bland and Crisp settling who killed
Cock Robin" while on the umbrella was
printed U. S. Senate, and beneath the
Words mills is out of the wet" He per-
sonally presented this result of his artis-
tic ability to Mills, who was surrounded
by crowd of admirers, and it pleased
Mills greatly. The way in which the
picture was drawn by Reed was funny in
the extreme.

NOVEL TRAIN plscHAReER.
A Device Used by the Portland s. Roch-
ester Railroad in Handling Gravel.

The Portland 6 Rochester Railroad
Company are making rapid progress in
the work of filling in the mill pond flats.
The earth for the filing is obtained at
the company's gravel pit in Gorham, and
a train of IA flat cars is used to haul it to
this city. The cars are loaded by a
steam shovel, and are unloaded by an in
genious method which is new to this
part of the country.
A heavy iron casting, shaped some
thing like a snow pillow, is loaded upon
the last car of the train, and carried
along to the place where the gravel is to
be dumped. Then the wheels of the
cars are trigged, and the engine detached
from the train. A rope is passed from
the rear of the engine over the top of the
cars and hitched to the pillow on the last
car. The engine is then started up and
the pillow is drawn along over the top of
the train, scraping off the contents of
every platform car as it passes. The
whole train load is thus discharged at
one motion.
