PROSECUTE THE OWNERS.

1t appears that the worst features OF
"Scratch Ankle" are likely to be re-
yiyed in the house that was raided few
weeks ago in that section. AS much
might have been expected. THE CIrI-
ZEN told the authorities at the time the
raid was made that an attempt to wipe
out this plague spot could only be made
successful by furnishing the owners OF
the houses that harbor these offenders.
We went so far as to print the name OF
the owner of the house then raided, and
to show that the law was mandatory III
respect to warning of such owner and
a punishment of him in case the warning
was not needed.
Now there is police committee made
up of members of the board of alder
men. They could well afford to take
up this matter and, with credit to them
selyes and benefit to the community, rid
Scratch Ankle and several other parts
of the city of these pests. They can lc-
gally adopt policy so severe that no
man, however depraved, will dare rent
his house for evil purposes.
We said before, and we now say again,
that if this action is not taken those
who should take it seem deliberately
to foster these vile places. Raiding a
house Of ill-repute now and then amounts
to nothing. Adopting policy of pros
ecutiug the owners without fear or favor
will rid Ashcville of these resorts ant
clear her moral atmosphere nightly.
Will the police committee act?

Corr, spond nee Of the BoSt n Transcript
He looked like a "p'rSonagc' indeed,
like a strong man, like n thoughtful man.
His whole bearing suggested at once
physical and mental power. His step,
as he mounted the platform, was firm
and heavy and slow, not from wcarincss,
but from sheer strength and weight of
body. His broad, strong shoulders, his
large head well set into, rather than upon
them, his hiGncss, not groSsncss, of
body, we'll suited the popular notion
of the man. His eyes were clear and
bright; his forehead highland thoughtful,
and vet not unduly carcworn; his chin
strong and aggressive, and his whole
face, brown now with wild and sun,
firm and impressive. 1t is nearly six

lie was chccrcd as lie stepped upon tho
platform; he was chccrcd again as he
rose to listen to Mr.. Wilson'S precise,
academic and almost inaudlblc speech,
he was cllccrcd loudcst of all when he
began his reply. 1t was a short speech,
and in no sense great one. All that he
said now, he had said MANY times
before. In phrase and form it was pom
derous and singularly Latinizcd, the
sort of speech one fanccs that in diction
might have been made in Parliament
in the carly days of the eighteenth
century. There were touches of plat
itudc here and there, too. and yet
scarcely a touch of artiticiality. If Mr..
Cleveland used the English OF the last
century, rather than that OF our own
time. he uscdit simply and sincerely, and
not with the conscious skill of scholar
or poctaster. Through pondcrous
phrase and cumbrous circumlocutiou
ono felt the security, the tremendous
carncstncss of the man. Every word, it
might seem, had been weighed by man
wl.o had thought long and deeply of tho
principles Of public policy he was seek
ing to define. There was frank partl
sanship in the speech in plenty, but
breadth OF view and high purpose and
high sincerity. too.
