This shows several thinga, It shows thai the people do just as they think best ami that they do their own thinking, and when they change their minds, or are dissatis fied with the existing order of things or a proposed change, they say so jH'.icetully at the polls and t here is an end of it. The two parties have opp site policies upon several vital ijuestioiis, hii I yet the change from one parly to the other has never produced any violent upheaval or lasting social disturbance. The wheels of tho republic continue to revolve and things go on pretty much as usual. The facility with which the policy of the government is changed from time to time by the change of the party in power also goes to illue trate the strength ot our govern ment and the permanence of our republican institutions. In many so-called republics a change of ad ministration means war. The old administration, it may be, refuses to accept the result and give up, or the defeated candidate charges fraud and there is a resort to arms to de cide the matter. Here in the United States a chi.ne of parties by the people is thu occasion usually of nothing more datitreroiis than a torchlight pro cession. I'.altimore Sun. Indiana Congressmen and Patronage. The Indiana Republican Con L'rcsstnen elect have decided to re fer all applications for p. stoflice appointments to the patrons of the postolliecs, and elections will be field in every city and town in the State aftet March 4. The Congressmen-elect have hit upon this plan to avoid the responsi-, bility of making appointments them selves, ami will recommend no one who has not received a majority of the votes of the Republican patrons A theolliie to hich ho aspires. This conclusion is said to have been n ached through eomspond ence between the member elect, and applicants have been notified of the fact. In some localities, where party workers believe they have performed secial service, the decision is already creating much feeling, and more is expected to follow the elections.

The Bejinning Only. An eminent defeated candidate sent out a letter to his supporters recently, urging then to bo ot good courago, and saying that they had only made a beginning of tho fight for their citise. It is just as tiuo of tho successful candidates. Their election is not tho end but the be ginning. It is rcmaikablo how many have regarded their election as the only thing desired. In truth it is only tho beginning ot their work, tho beginning of what tho people desire. It ia after all not who is elected, but what the ono elected docs, that makes for the good of the people. We all know how anxious for the welfare of the pi ople the average candidate is be fore election, and how careful of his own welfare he is afterward. And some of us know how ardent many voters aro for the election of a certain candidate when the cam paign is on, and how inditFerent they are after he is elected. Is it not true that political ardor has led many into taking the means for tho end J How strong the pressure was two weeks ago; how light now. Yet the principles are still at stake, even though the officers have been elected. We desire an awakening of the pooplo of North Carolina now, not in Ijehalf ot men, but in behalf of measures.
