Senator Jarvis has gone to Washington to take his place in the council's of the nation to Which he has been appointed.

A large , crowd was in waiting when the train stopped, and a great demonstration was made in his honor.

He is listened to wit close attention, but he gets no de monstration of approval at all. ol Coxey's army, about two hundred strong, is now almost in sight Washington. It is probable that committee from the police force wil meet them and guide them in their rambles about the city. Nothing that has occurred in this generation has excited such genera sorrow, especially in this State, as the death- of the lamented Vance. Al parties honored him, and were not slow in expressing their sincere gri at his death. Senator Hau ley, the other day said that Senator Allen's late speech about Gen. Coxey had the bacteria and bacilli of anarchy in it. Ailen has not had a chance to reply, yet but when he does, the other Senators had better provide bellows to keep themselves in wind. . Hon. D. M.

The leaders maysay coalesce, but when the time comes, the people will not open their mouths to receive the morsels. SEXA'IOK JAIIVIS. LAst i nursday evening Gov. Can tendered the appointment as Senator to succeed the late Senator Vance to ex-Gov. Jarvis, and it was accepted. The appointment is generally looked upon as a good one. Senator Jarvis will fill the position with ability. Undoubtedly he was the man. to whom the great body of .North Carolinians turned when the , lamented Vaice's death became known. He is nearer to the heart of the people now perhaps than any other man in the State. . No one has a word to utter against Jarvis. But there are some people who think the Governor mafle a mis take in the appointment and Jarvis made a mistake in accepting. It has been the custom from time long past to elect one Senator from the east and one from the west, and any de parture from that custom is opei to more or less criticism. Senator Jarvis, in a letter, pub lished in the State papers, recognizes that custom and proclaims his inten tion of surrendering his place to some western man as soon as the lep?: M . - ' - - iure meets. ris declaration to do that is regarded by Ransom's ad he rents nc a r?fr-To,.f ... ,.f i - " " uv.vmiauuii viwar, mu we may expect lively timenext winter. If a mistake has been made, Gov Jarvis made it when he accepted the place. If he had declined it and giv An nm . . . nay iu suiiic western man, it would have made the west for him as Ransom's successor. But now, it may so pique some of the western leaders as to turn their batteries against him. We hope nothing of the kind will result; lor we should" dislike to see such a man as Senator Jarvis slaugh tered by political spite.

J fight of the saloon against modern civilization, and that against the Gov ernor and the law there was arrayed not only the liquor interests of South Carolina, but also the liquor interests of New York and every other State. Our "esteemed contempoiaries, the Wilmington Review and the New bern Journal, take issue with Mr. Dixon and declare that he is wrOng. They accord to Mr. Dixon brilliancy of mind, but declare that he does not yet know it all. Now, it is easy for brethren to disagree and there is generally not much to be gained by disagreement. However, we must disagree- with our neighbors along that line. Mr. Dixon expressed exactly the idea that in our view, is the correct one. It is true that the cry went up that it was a rebellion of the people of South Carolina against the system of espion age that Gov. Tillman had to resort to in order to carry out the law. But who rebelled ? Only some men whose faces were indicative to the constables that they had contraband liquor-in their houses, and therefore should be searched. The law was never intended to mean that sober, discreet, and honor able citizens should be subjected to any indignity. But when a man was suspected of smuggling, the law gave the constables a right to search his premises. Does any sane man think that the temperate and honorable element of South Carolina was in re bellion ? If he does, then he is on the verge of insanity. It was merely a fight between-the saloons and their sympathizers and the strong arm of the law, in which, as usual, the law triumphed. The principle of the dispensary law, we believe is right, but the method that was adopted in South r ' i: i t v-arumia may nave Deen wrong Dealing in liquor is either right or wrong. If it is right, then there should be no restraint whatever ; but if it is wrong, th'en the restraint can scarcely be too binding. If the State liquors aV an evil, and if it must be sold, then seemingly the proper au thorities for handling an evil would be the law itself. We don't say that the South Carolina way is the best way. un the contrary, we think that it was faulty, but the inherent right to deal with evils rests in the State. Killing is an evil, but it is some times necessary that a person be killed. In all cases, however, the gov ernment should have entire control ol that procedure. It is a- matter that the law has only -the right to deal with. However, the law has been de clared unconstitutional, and it is not If the Wilson ! thouSh not readily acquired in later ydis, lahiens nseii quickly upon boys, making! them slaves.

It has be come associated with the currency of the United States so closely that not j many people ever stop to inquire if it was ever used in anv other country. tf-Tothose who have read Shakes peare's Tempest it has, of course, oc curred that the word can lay some claim 0 a little antiquity. In the second act of that production of the great dramatist, the word dollar oc curs, and it at once arrests the atten tion of the reader who has in his ig norance thought that money was never counted in dollars in any oth er country than this. However, when the matter is in vestigated, it is found that in the val ley of St. Joahchim, Bohemia, a coin was in circulation as early as 15 18, which was called dollar. It is there fore of an origin that antedates the foundation of the United States. There is nothing to indicate now what the value of that ancient dollar was. It cannot be determined wheth er its purchasing power was greater or less than its present namesake. It was used then and that is all there is of it. When the founders of this govern ment were establishing the financial status, they adopted the dollar as the unit of value, and it has since re mained so. It seems to be the most convenient, and at the same time the most reasonable desigmition of value We heartily endorse this move ment and hope to see a league or ganized in every town and city of i on fire.

Mr. Kerr, after narrat ing his conversation with Mrs. Vance, in which she told of the Senator's sufferings and treatment in Florida, says that he went in to see the sick man whom he found in bed. Senator Vance, after inquiring about some friends in North Caro lina, asked about the political situa tion there, and in the course of the conversation that followed used the following inspiring words : "The Democratic party is immor tal.

The word Democrat stands for human liberty and human freedom and can not die. The people believe in it juiu wnen ireeaom is menaced and liberty jeopardized, at one blast of that magic name men will come from the mountains and from the valleys and place the Democratic party in power. "In the ancient days the little glad iator, witn his simple , shield and short sword would step into the arena before the assembled thousands. 1 he fierce and raging lion would be turned in upon him. By his skill the mighty brute would be slain Another monster would be turned in to meet the same fate. Another and another would follow only to go down beneath the apparently puny strength of the gladiator, until the people would cry 'he is a god the supernatural is with him.'.

TaiuiuiA. iney are, as were, a message from tne dead. were appalled by some of the facts that were developed. One man, we remember, went on to say that, in addition to its bad ef fect upon health and the mental facul ties, the habit among boys produced a disposition to falsify and to dis guise the truth. He stated that, in the large school of which he was Principal, the tobacco users were con stant subjects of discipline, that they could not be depended upon to tell the truth, and the immoral tenden cies of the students nearly always originated with them. We were teaching school then and resolved to notice the seventy-five or hundred boys that were under our charge more closely to see if that statement could be verified. We noticed that the tobacco users were constantly subjects for punishment. We further observed that their word could not be depended upon even in trivial matters. Furthermore, every student that was caught taking foul means in the preparation of lessons, reciting lessons, or standing an ex amination was a tobacco user. . This investigation convinced us, and we have been an uncompromising oppo nent to cigarettes ever since. In our oninion the raiic nf tht tendency can be easily explained. Whenever a boy takes up the habit, he generally does so clandestinely, and when he is questioned about it, the fear of punishment induces him to tell a lie ; and when the first lie is t5ld the second is easy to follow. In addition to that the prison that is the peculiar product of tobacco deadens the moral sensibilities, and the victim becomes the blind cubject of the animal nature instead of follow ing the guidance Of the moral nature. That seems to be the explanation. In the case of men, of course, they have not the same motive to falsify about it, and the tobacrn has not the same effect upon matured manhood as it has upon the pliant and yielding nature of boyhood inereiore, men may take up the habit with impunity. North Caro- t" - una nas a law against the sale of cigarettes to minors, but the law is evaded and transgressed without punishment. The only wa.y that the law can be made effective is to cul tivate such a sentiment among the people that they' will demand of the officers of the law that it be enforced. The organization - of such leagues among school boys would be one of the best means available to foster and encourage the growth of sentiment, and we hope to hear of much of this being done in this State. flames.

But observing one little bright eyed fellow in deep silence, he said : "Now, my little man, what have you to say ?" The little fellow blushed, grew un easy, and stammered out: "I want to know what became of that squir rel ; that's what I want to know."
