Land of the Sky."

In western North Carolina, between
the Blue Ridge on the east and the AL
leghanies on the west, in the beautiful
valley of the French Broad, two thou
sand feet above the sea, lies Asheville,
beautiful, picturesque and world-famed
as one of the most pleasant resorts in
America. 1t is land of bright skies
and incompatible climate, whose
praises have been sung by poets, and
whose beauties of stream, valley and
mountain height have furnished SUBJ
ject and inspiration for the painters
brush. This is truly the 'Lsnd of the
Sky" and there is perhaps no more
beautiful region on the continent to at
tract pleasure tourists or health seek
ers. Convenient schedules and very
low rates to Asheville via Southern
railway.

SOME time ago the United States
asked permission of Hsyti to estab-
fish a weather observation station on
the island. Hayti refused, and the
chief of the weather bureau gave pos
tive orders that no communication of
any sort as to weather matters or fore
casts should be had with Hayti. Last
week the weather bureau called up a
cyclone and Hayti suffered greatly.
Now Hayti says she is sorry and ask g
for a weather observation station to be
on her island. 1t happens
thus with all who stand in the way OF
scientific progress.

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECHES.

DRESIDENT MCKINLEY, during his tour
~ through the Mississippi Valley to attend the
l Omaha Exposition and the Peace Jubilee at
Chicago has delivered a series OF speeches that
strikngly illustrate his happy faculty Of saying the
right thing at the right time with sufficient force to
impress the nearer and in the fewest possible words
Ex-President Harrison during his administration,
proved himself be the greatest master OF the art OF
short speech making in the country His superiority
in that respect over any OF his predecessors in office
was so great it was believed he would hardly have
rival in this generation It now appears, however,
that Mckinley may equal him. Certainly the Presi-
dent has learned how 70 say notable things with
brevy and many OF his addresses during the last few
days are as excellent in their way anything spoken
by Mr.. Harrison
The highest achievement in the way OF a short
speech in the annals OF American oratOry that Of
Lincoln at Gettysburg. That Grafton however, stands
alone among Mr. Lincoln's brief addresses. He never
made another at all equal TO IL 1t was an inspiration
due as much the greatness OF the occasion and the
intensity of the crisis as to the genius OF the orator
The short speeches OF Harrison and Mckinley have
not been OF that exceptional kind. They have been
delivered at all sorts OF times, at all sorts OF places
and on all sorts OF occasions and their merit lies not
in the extraordinary eryor and glow OF any particular
one but in the equal and general excellence OF all.
1t is notable that throughout all the speeches made
during his tour the President while speaking directly
to the issues which now concern the country, has
said nothing OF partisan nature in relation to home
politics. nor anything automatically unwise with ref
erence to foreign affairs They have been thoroughly
Republican and thoroughly American and yet they
have contained not word offensive to either Dem
ocrats or Spaniards.
The tone OF all the speeches has been one OF lofty
patriotism. The President has exulted in noble
words over the restoration OF common loyalty in all
sections OF the Union, has paid deserved tribute to
the men who in the army and navy fought the battles
of the nation and has recalled to the attention OF the
people the blessings they enjoy in the speedy
turn Of peace after successful in the interests OF
liberty and humanity
One point made in many of these addresses is de
serving OF particular attention this time After
rnindng the people eve have pretty much everything
in this country TO make it happy; we have good
money, ample resources, unquestoned national
credit" he said: People who think alike in a coun-
try like ours must act together At this critical hour
in the nations history must not be divided The
triumphs Of yet be written in the articles
of peace
In that short statement is the moral OF the political
situation This is no time for people who think alike
on great issues to be divided on smaller ones. Let
us act together.

Public Administrator has turned to be carpet
Dagger and perhaps also guilty OF fraudulent regis
traton 1t is we'll known that his candidate for City
and County Attorney is carpet-bagger, and that his
candidate for Auditor came near being indicted by
the Grand Jury for failing to account for public
money while occupying the office Of Tax Collector
years ago.
We have not had time to scan the entire list OF
coonizers carpetbaggers, traders frauds and takers
nominated by Phelan, and probably the limits OF this
campaign will not afford the time. But sufficient
has transpired to show the people that the Mayors
reform" combination is delusion and snare His
entire ticket is made up OF Office seekers-klckers
boilers sandlotters, Populists, alleged Democrats and
others who have for years been playing to the gal
leries in this city in the hope that they might some
time acquire reputation for honesty" which would
procure for them nomination and office.
The question for voters to answer is this: Can
these 1eopards at this late day change their spots?
Do men who coonize, register falsely who violate
the purity laws intend to render the public honest
service in office? In other words are these so-caed
purists seeking Office for the good they do
they inaugurating vast scheme of pelf and power?
