EXPOSING ITSELF.
That is What the AsheviIIe Gazette is
Doing in its Efforts to Pose as a
Democratic Paper.

The Citizen is asked why it does
not expose the Gazette's falsehood in
claiming to be Democratic paper.
But why should the Citizen work at,
that job when the Gazette is perform
ing it in perfectly satisfactory
manner? Is there any one in North
Carolina who can read or understand
a thing read who believes that the
Gazene is a Democratic paper? If
there is the Citizen would like to
publish his photograph, for he is the
greatest living curiosity.
A man thoroughly drunk does not
need an attendant or placard to ex-
plain his condition to the public.
We know of no section Of North Caro-
lima in which it is necessary to put a
label on a jackass. Nowhere in the
South is it necessary to attach name
and description to a buzzard. Among
intelligent people, and those of North
Carolina are pretty intntelligent, it is
considered waste Of time to sound
gong to call attention to liar As
for shaving an ass, it's waste Of
lather
The Citizen is aware that the Ga
aette is travelling under false pre-
lenses, but who is fooled bv it? It's
assertion that it is Democratic
paper shows only that it is ashamed
OF being what it is, and we are glad
1t has that germ of conscience left,
unless its assumption of the title
''Democratic" is merely to get a lit
tie money. But as for exposing the
Gazette, it is exposing itself. Why
should the Citizen interfere? The
Gazette's exposure of its own rotten
ness is complete. The Citizen couldn't
| expose it better if it tried. Besides,
| the friends of bad Government need
an organ. Let them rejoice in the
Ga1ete. fon they will never get a
more efficient organ of rottenness than
the Gazette.-Asheville Citizen.

Baker has lost almost entirely the
sight in his right eye, Sometimes,
as yesterday, he is able to count
fingers When they are held between
his eve and the light. He wears a.
pair of blue goggles to protect his
eyes, and as yet is very sensitive to
drafts of cool air which may strike
his face.
One thing which puzzles Mr.. Baker
is the fact that. while he was lean
ing only slightly over the machine
when the accident occurred, the fly
ING chisel took a downward course
when it entered his head. This may
be explained by its rotary motion,
which would give it curving flight
when it was thrown off from the ma
chine, or the hard bone of the fore
head may have changed its original
course. However, there was but the
straight cut wound to show where
the chisel entered.
RECEIVED MANY VISITORS.
Since his remarkable accident and
no less remarkable operation to en-
able him to recover from it, Mr..
Baker has been the object of much
curiosity at the hospital. Besides
the professional men who were in
terested in the case from surgical
standpoint, almost every visitor to
the hospital wants to see and talk
with him. Cardinal Gibbons and
Archbishop Keane recently visited
him and expressed their sympathy.
Last Saturday Mr.. Bakers wife
visited him and to-day he expects to
see his son, aged 16, and his little
girl, aged years, at his home in
Waynesboro. He says he will be
| glad to get back home and after rest
! will go to work again about the first
| of the year.
/ The chisel which for so many weeks
was incased in Mr.. Bakers skull is
! in the possession of DR.. Tiffany. MIR.
Baker says the Doctor told him that
he would not take 800 for it.
The case is unique one in surgery
and will probably be the subject OF
much surgical literature from the
pens of the surgeons concerned in 1t

FEW SCARES LEFT.

Mr.. Baker shows few effects of his
unique experience, aside from loss of
flesh, which has deepened the hollows
in his cheeks. Down the right side
of his face is faint scar showing the
line of the cut made by the surgeons.
His right cheek, at the side of his
nose, is slightly swollen and the
bridge of his nose looks as if it was
less high than formerly. Another
scar under his chin shows one of the
original wounds, and third scar is
that caused by the putting in of
silver tube into his windpipe through
which he could breathe before and
during the operation to remove the
chisel.
Besides the defect in his voice.

with a very bad cold in the head, Mr..

. From -lTalmage.

A gentleman passing along
crossing a bridge in Germany
and a lad came along with a
cage of birds for sale. The
stranger said, "How. much for
those birds and the cage?" The
price was announced, the pur'
chase was made, and the first
thing the stranger did was to
open the door of the cage and
the birds flew out into the sum
and the forest. Some one who
saw the purchase and liberia
ton said: "What did you do
that for?" "Ah," said the stran-
ger, | was a captive myself once
and 1 know how good it is to
be free" Oh, ye who remem-
Der hardships in early life but
have come beyond those hard
ships, sympathize with those
who are in the struggle! Free

Coz. Alexander Stephens per-
sisted in having business
matters brought to his bedside.
There was on the table a peti-
ton for the pardon Of a dis
tinguished criminal. the pc,
tition signed by distinguished
men. There was also on that
table a letter from a poor
woman in the penitentiary
written and signed by herself
alone. Dying Alexander Steph-
ems said: you think that because
1 have been ill so many times

standing by, thinking this to

sick man said: Governor, you
are very sick now; perhaps you
had better wait till to- morrow;

may feel better" Then the eye
if the old Governor flashed,
and he said: II know what |

fell from his pale and rfleum-
