The Prohibition campaign i nojy fcaded in this State, i&d wfch very txeady as full a Ute hu -declared iiself in fa--Of of a$oberc&2enship. This s well, for only Can we have irogressiyc and prosperous justness enterprise, and peace- bui, nappy hemes vhen the Citizenship is sober; to say no Jtfcing of Tthe more free religU us and social liberty this brings with it, for no one would dare mock God by even a pretention of being religious who wouid fail to stab the whiskey or any of her flagrant ly immoral question .at every opportunity. But it is not our object to comment upon the matter further. Last week we were Prohibitionists and Anti- Prohibitionists to-day we are all North Carolinians,! Let the Dove of Peace abide with us; let us forget any bit terness or misunderstanding of the past few. months. Do not nurse prejudice against the neighbor who disagreed with you, for he had the same right to his opinion that you had to yours. Don't crow over the victory, or cheerish bard feeU ings, bnt let's all go to work to make imdrovements in all directions, remembering that we are Hying and preparing the country for those who must soon take our places, and the better we do this the hap pier we will all be in the end.

' in the Iiie of tins generation settled the matter of suffrage and made North Carojimi. tt prohilition fctate. tn t..L i.- ii lieu hju imuic iiisiorian comes to Write the history of North Carolina Jig will show that the passage of the tuSrage amendment opened the way '. for the educational revival and the ' epread of temperance which did inoiq for the progress and uplift of . the people than anything ih the en " tt$ history of the Xtate, If the Suffrage ameudmeut had been de . feated, the mishtv itnoetus to'ednca tion that had distinguished this Wrf a .'decade would have been wanting and the driving out of the saloons and stills would have been left for the next generation, As it is, the door was opened to putting Nort Carolina on a higher plane and the ieople of this generation have been given the high privilege of bequeath ing to their children a btate free from the curse of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. The sweeping victory yesterday is &1! that could have been desirei Uf course every temperance man would have been glad to have seen his county give a majority for Stat .Prohibition but that was too much to have expected, and o every tern perance man has the right to ftel that the victory is lull, complete, ample. The majority is so large as to make the victory decisive. The experience of those counties ( ju North Carolina that for a long term of yeai-8 has given prohibition K-st mill Yancey in tho West, wore so large ns to show the entire satis faction of tlm people with the work ing of rolioiii n . What these counties have fouml in their experi ence the whole State will litnl Ci its larger experience after a fair trial i f the new iuw that goes into effect on the tirt daj of January. Tiie ctiiiipH'igh has lecu e'uea tioaal and will have lasting results for good m the lives of the people. It has been waged on a high plane, with no appeal except to the consci-eiu-o and the reason of the people, with no reference to polities and parties, and tune will show all the goou men w h o yterday v-o m1 against State Prohibition that it will prov,e a Justing blessing to North Carolina. The men who have led the tight, from Chairman John A. Gats aiid his associates down to the smallest child who has march t-d in a procession, deserve the hjstingtliauks cX all who are working for tiie pro gross and welfare of this good com woawealth.N' & 0.

In 11)08 theiitate oast a very large vote, but at this writing it i& impos sible to give the correct vote, but it is safe to say that the prohibition majority is fully 40,000. In 1SS1 Washington county cast ler part of the above vote as follows; Against Prohibition 1,467. li): Prohibition 134, ilajority against 1,33 i.

At Junction and on Sharp Curves of Trolley Lines. II. H. Adams, a Baltimore street railway inan, has a clever method of finding out where Hnghtntny is like ly to strike one of his cars. According to tho Street Railway Journal he keeps m his olIU-o a large Bcale map of the system', and when ever a car crew reports that a car has been damaged by lightning, he sticks a jin In the map at the point where the car was at the time. It is astonishing how quickly a record of this kind will show up the ioeatlons that seem to he especially susceptible to listening discharges. In the course of the season a few points will have & miniature forest of pins grouped around them, while lone stretches of track will show n jiias ni ajl. When a particular locntiaa. begins io accumulate a collection of these telltale pins, a lightning arrester can be installed at this point and the trout?!? at once eliminated or at least materially reduced. From graphic rvewds kept in this way over a period of years it has beon deter rMnod that the most vulnerable points are at junctions of lins and at sharp tends and curves. Economy in UHtish Army. A certain regimes t, quartered at u comsiderable dls-.taitee from the point from which its stores are sent to it, is obliged, ticeording to its equipment list, to have fort -eight ! usees, itvsuniMh'i-y for the ignition of fu:xs eonnocted with explosives. It Vs found upon an occasion not long a.tro .that the regiment was short ct theiie f usees and this was duly re ported to the propei nuilurity. Ac cordingly two boxes of fusees wore despatched, and as they r,re looked upon a st explosives they had, aecord- np, to regalation. to be packed in a arge copper receptacle of ecusidoui- ble weight s.ni forwarded specialty to the headquarters of the regiiiUM't, where they w-e duly unpacked, ta ken In charge, entered on the liat as ;avh;g been received, and the empty nbtcr or haw returned to the stores headqtLarters. The size and weight of the canister are such that It la jt-timated th.e cost of Its journey ro and fro may he anywhere between Qve and ten shillings; the two hovea of fusties, oa the other hand, mir.'it have betTj purchased locally at a penay each. Saturday Review. Foainins in Aerated Waters. One of the substances employed to Ivo a foam to aerated waters, and we have little doubt to beer as .well, is saponin, very small quantities of which, when added to water, impart to it a frothy character. Now saponin is a glycoside, and glocisides are ia tha main, poisonoui ubstances. The Lancet- DOH'T MAKE THIS GREAT MISTAKE. Don't mnjee the great mistake of think ing that because the BfElFF waj chosen for the Jamefctowu Exposi tion, and because it stands no high in the estimation of people who know, that it is beyond jour reach, or too ex pensive. The fact that it is sold direct, from the maker to the user, at cue profit, brings the price within reach of all, and theu too, the terms of payment are to easy. You cau just as well have the best piano, and then jou will never have any trouble with it. Buying a piano is a teriuus business, and ought to bu doue with care.
