The temperance sentiment in North Carolina has grown rapidly of late . The elimination of the negro will accelerate its growth, and result in patting an end to the curse of dis tilleries and multiplied saloons. There are uo saloons now outside of incor porated towns except in eight or ten counties. The Legislature ought to make two enactments looking to re stricting the liquor truffle : 1. PasH an act that uo liceuse shall be is sued except in an incorporated town. In that connection it will need to withdraw tne charters of certain cross road towns in corporated solely or cliielly in order to se cure th location of a saloon by which the people of the HurroU'iding county are de bauched. 2. Pass an act permitting the voters, upon petition, in any incorporated town, to vote on "off" years whether they will have saloons, a dispensary or prohibition, coupled with an anti-jug provision il pro hibition carries. The law aa it now stands does not permit a vote upon this question of establishing a dispensary. The people of every community ought to enjoy that right, and the entire regulation of the traffic will be left to the will of each community. It is more ditlicult to deal with the distilleiy curse. They are permitted to sell whiskey in quantities not less than one gallon. Most of them are the centres of vice, drunkenness and lawlessness, far worse than the worst saloons. The question of their abo lition or regulation is dilii'Uilt, and the solution will call for the exercise of the beat statesmanship. But one thing is true : the people demand their abolition and will nor, much longer tolerate their demoralizing find debauching influence Now that the battle of the parties has been fought and the victory won by the Democrats let us glance back ward and gather the lessons taught by it. Comparatively, it has been a Clean canvass, conducted with vigor but without vituperation, and with decided ability, The central object was the discussion between Senator Pritchard and lion. Locke Craig. It aa characterized by courtesy and kindness and mutual compliments, and with ability on both sides. Both Here stimulated by their personal interest involved in the result. Friends of both of them claim the victory. Both of them were gifted men who had already made a name iu public affairs and had a strong hold upou the administration and gratitude of their respective parties. Mr. Craig was selected by Senator Pritchard for his antagonist, and the challenge for a joint debate was giv en to him. ThU prominence given to Mr. Craig, at first sight would seem to bo au advantage gained by him iu his inspiration for the Senate, but per haps it might work the other way and be a drawback to him, as human nature seeks the weakest places for attack. Wqatever maybe Senator Pritch--ard's estimate of his chosen oppo nent, Locke Craig is an able man, tt gifted debater and would reflect honor upon North Carolina in any position that he may occupy. We do not mean to make invidi ous discrimination between the aspi rants to Senatorial honors, but the contest seems to have narrowed down to three competitors Locke Craig, Cy. Watson and Lee S. Overman. Others are spoken of iu connection ritli the oflice of United States Senator, but these three are the most conspicuously mentioned. Lee Overman is the finest looking, Wat-i Bon is the most humorous, and Craig is the youngest of the trio. All of Ahem carry a reputation for ability that would adorn the Seuate. The Legislature will make selection from the three and every good Democrat will be content with its choice. J. City Economist.
