THE MARKEr QUESTION.
How to Protect Those In the Mar
ket-lhe HuckSterS.

EDITOR THE CITHEN:-Will the mar
kct house be success or a failure? This
question has been asked quite often in
the last ten days. 1t is a problem for
the aldermen to decide. With genuine
sense, iudiciously administered, it will be
a success and very great convenience
to 70 the city; otherwise it will be- dead
expense.
With a few alterations in regard to
the beef stalls at least two-thirds of
them would rent for a bonus. This will
cost the city n very small amount.
Proper ventilation would be all that is
necessary and it is not necessary for me
to explain as the question is now, | un
dcrstand, under consideration.
BY making this change, all the butch
crs will stand equal chance, and be con-
tented. Under the present arrangement
one third of them will move out in ten
days, that is, am informed, from very
reliable authority.
The second and most important ques-
tion is the hucksters stalls. Will the
huckstcrs be protected! II not, why
built the huckstcr stalls? 'Tis true that
all but a few of the stalls are rented but
how many are vacant? Now to busi-
ness point of view. Whose money built
the market? DO the people want liv-
ing interest on there money invested
Il is not necessary to consider that qucs-
ton. ANY such a common sense person
will answer at once i'll the affirmative.
Now as to the way in which to rca-
lie this income. 1t seems to me the
first thing to consider is protection.
Are there any practical business men on
without hesitation, one of the most far
seeing ones resigned ten days too soon.
! only ask this question: Is it right and
Justice to compel a certain kind OF pro-
ducc to be sold by the merchants inside
of the market house, charging them both
rent and tax, and then allow a speculator
not farmer or one who raises his pro-
ducc to stand in front of the market
house and peddlc the same line of goods
without paving a dime!
How can the aldermen expect the
lluChSlSlS SttlllS W DC lIIlSll dll VI
them, it is true. are rented Tor one year,
but | fear under the present ordinances,
they will bc vacant next season. Why
can't our city profit by Atlanta, Bir-
mingham, Charleston, Richmond and in
fact, most all of our progressive cities.
Protect your merchants; have market
where your wives, sisters and cousins
can go, and it will be apcasurc for them
to shop. We want no tax on the far.
ncr who raises produce, but want the
pcddlers to be compelled to sell on the
market yard,
This is simply asking Justice. 1t is
right, and ought to be enforced. Put
the green groceries there, and all fish,
chickens. and all the stalls will be rented
at premium. Will the aldermen do

Did II Look Like the Next Audi

People who read TIE CITIZEN will re-

of the next auditor of the state, Robert
NJ. Furman was printed. Now, the ma
jo ity of Mr. Furnan's friends concluded
that the picture was good ono, faith

natural, oblest-Roman-ot, email express
sion.
But, somehow, Bob" didn't think it
looked like him too very much, and told
some friends so before going home.
When he went home, however, Mrs
Furman at once asked him il he had
seen the picture i'll TIE CITIZEN,
"Ycs, indeed, he replied, but | don't

This with a laugh.
Mrs. Furman then proceeded to tel

telegram was sent from the shciil's Of

Spencer was arrested and on Saturday
night Deputy Sheriff II. c. Jones left
Ashcvillc for Roanoke. Papers of rcqui-

HILL. WILL. LEAD.
New York State Is Alive with
cleveland Democrats.

NEW YORK, June 2+.-Now that the
nomination is made there is no doubt
that the democratic machine will be
set to work for Cleveland and Senator
Hill will be at the head and front otstEc
democratic campaign in this state.
Cleveland has had the lead SO long that
most of the democrats have discounted
the effect of his nomination and it is
very likely that outside of the large citils
there will be no serious democratic detcc-
tions. This defeat ofanti-Cleveland men
is already charged to ArthurP. German.
Had he remained with the minority. they
say, more than the necessary 300 would
have been found and rammany and New
York democracy would be feeling brighter
and happier this evening.
All agree, democrats, independents
and republicans alike, that Cleveland
was the strongest business mems candid
ate that could have been named, and the
effect of his nomination was shown by
the strong opening OF the market. Rep
rcscntativcs in Wall street OF foreign
houses declared that the nomination
would restore European confidence anc
greatly strengthen American securities
