THE CONTEST ENDED.


The people Of our State have just passed
through one Of the bitterest wars of words
that has ever occurred among US as a peO-
pie; the smoke has cleared from the bat
tie field, and the results reveal no dead
for which we feel grateful. 1t was only q
tilt at words, involving principle and al
most lifetime usage--that Of political Or
ganization. Much bitterness has been in
dulged in by both parties-the johnson
and Cheatham wings; and while we were
divided and fighting each other, our politi-
cal opponents have won for themselves,
and over US, q victory of which they may
justly feel proud. We have this consoling
fact, that it is as much our government as
it is theirs. Now that the battle is over
let US lay aside all bad feeling, buckle on
the armor Of peace and good will, and labor
for the material interests and prosperity of
our State, and bury out of sight our GRIM
nations and recriminations; aud while do
ing this let US husband our resources,
unite our feelings, and even now, in the
midst of our defeat, quietly prepare our
selves for future political contests. Our
people must De one in interest, and this
interest should overbalance and outweigh
all preferences for mere individuals. We
shall not attempt to lay blame at the door
of any man for the political calamity that
has overtaken us-our voice was raised as
a warning while the result could have been
averted, and swe now only counsel that,
prOfiting by what has occurred, we may be
fully prepared TO avoid any similar result in
the future.

METEOROLOGICAL.
Old Probs Finds out Winter Has Come
How 1t Came and where 1t Came from
No More Winters without Warming
A Beautiful and brilliant Discover!

A Beautiful and brilliant Discovery
of the signal Service.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The researches
OF the Signal Office have just been rewarded
by beautiful and highly important meteor
oiogicsl discovery. Onthe coast of England
from time immemorial the phenomenon
OF great November atmospheric wave has
been the speculation of scientists and sea
men, but Sir John Hersehel and others have
supposed it was peculiar and confined to
England and Western Europe, which it
reaches from the South Atlantic and over
which it rolls in long continued undulations
from October to January, constituting an
important element in the phenomenal char
acter of the European winter.
On the 18th Of November a similar at
mospheric wave began to break over the
shores Of Oregon and British Columbia as
shown by weather telegrams. By the
evening of the 18th it had spread over
nearly all of the Pacific States aud Terri
tories, Utah and Nevada, and at midnight
was pouring through the passes of the
Rocky Mountains. On Thursday the 14th
it descended upon Colorado, Nebraska,
Kansas and the Indian Territory. On Fri
daymorning it extended in unbroken mag
nitude and magnificeHce from Oregon and
Washington Territory eastward through
the great trough or depression of the
Rocky Mountain backbone in Idaho and
Montana and hetched thence to the lower
Missouri and lower Mississippi Valleys and
over the western shores of the N xican
Gulf.
This discovery viii enable meteorologists
to anticipate by many days the approach
of winter. As it advances from the Pacific
coast eastward in the great current of
westerly winds, it serves to clear up the
old mystery of the American winter storms,
showing that they originate in the Rocky
Mountains, upon whose cold and loftiest
SUBMITS in Nevada, Utah, Colorado and
Southern Wyoming the vapor laden air of
this wave, coming from over the warm Pa
cific, is now seen to be condensed in the
overwhelming SHOWS of the forty-frst par
sllel. As this vast aerial wave is probably
like the English wave, continued in sue
cessive undulations for two or three
months, it may assist in explaining the
comparatively high temperature and light
precipitation in the winter along Puget's
SOund and eastward

A Stunning Plan for Rebuilding.

Digging out "Fire Proof Safes.'i
Books and Paper Ruined-SflveE
Ware MutiIared-GOld Melted.
Boston, Nov. 15.-There Is but few new
items to be gathered relating to the fire.
The safe of Messrs. j. ID. Bsebe g. Co, in
Winthrop Square, was opened, but
Nothing Remained
Of the contents except few charred books
and papers. Messrs. Horswell, Kingsley
g French recovered from their safe lot of
silyerware in q damaged condition, and
portions Of family jewelry partially wrecked.
The safe contained small amount of gold
coin which was melted. The property in
the larger portion Of the safes recovered was
ruined.
Several steamers are still playing upon
the ruins. The site of old Fort Hill is the
scene of
Active Building Operations,
halfa dozen wooden structures being al
ready finished and in process of erection.

Picturesque.

deep, and blackened bales of wool and

he matter of laying out the burnt dis
trict upon new plan is receiving the per-
sonal attention of large number of citi-
zens and city officials. There are two dis
trict propositions, one of which will with
out doubt be eventually adopted. The
first may he called the popular one and is
this: The passage of law at the special
session of the Legislature authorizing the
city to take possession of the whole terrific
ry, to obliterate all the present streets and
property lines so far as necessary,
and lay out the district upon entirely new
lines with system of wide, straight streets,
and sell the land bordering on them to those
who wish to occupy it with buildings for
business purposes.
The advantages Of thisiare readily seen,
but If it is done the whole present. system
of sewerage and paving must be overthrown
and gas and water pipes, sidewalks, by
drants and cellar walls, a majority of which
are yet intact and very valuable, must be
torn up and rendered almost worthless.
The cost would of course be enormous.
The second plan Is the conservative one.
This contemplates the widening, straight
ening and extending Of the streets, per-
haps the discontinuances of small portions
of some streets and the general improve.
ment of the present lines. This plan,
though not efecting so radical and thor.
ough improvement as the first, necessitates
far less Of trouble in its accomplishment.

ALL ROSH.
From the Cleveland Banner.


Some Of our thin-skinned contemporaries
are singing 'cdUy" already. Because Hor-
ace Greeley has been badly beaten they
think the Democratic party has played out.
Not q bit Of it. The Democratic party VIII
never play out until this government goes
into despOtism, and then it will have to
be squelched by the sword. Suppose Gree
ley is beat for President, how does that de-
stroy the Democratic party? He is no De-
mocrat, and never Was-that is the reason
he has been so shanefully beaten. Had he
been a Democrat old Grant now would be
making arrangements 10 leave the White
House. Greeley is not as badly beaten as
Van Buren, was in 1S40. Suppose the De-
mocrats then had given up the ghost,
the country would have been ruined
long ago. But after that defeat
they went to work and reorganized their
forces, and in 1914 elected their candidate
for President, defeating statesman who
had more brains and character than the
whole Radical party Of to-day. And the
Democrats, if they will go at it in good
earnest, can make history repeat itself in
1876. Talk about the Democratic party
being dead. That's Radical clap-trap, and
we hate to see those who claim TO be DEM
ocrats, repeating it. Democracy will never
die as long as freedom has an asylum or
republican institutions hSye an advocate.
When Democracy dies, free government
will die also, and they will be buried in the
same grave. Democracy is just as essen
tisl to free government, as the christian
religion is to the salvation of a mans soul.
We have been lifelong Democrat, and
We intend to cling to the old craft as long
as there is plank big enough left for US
to stand upon. We want no more new de-
partures-will take ours straight hereafter
and fight it out on that line. Time has
proved that Democracy is the life-blood of
the nation, and without it free government
viii be failure.
From the Fayetteville Observer.
That the Democratic party has sustained
a severe blow, will not be denied, but that
it will not be other than a merely tempe
rary one, the future will amply prove.
From the Athens Pest.
Some of the conservative papers are
weakening under the crushing defeat, and
others are getting up sail 'fOr Cowes and
a market" May the land-breeze blow
mild, and watt them safely to the port they
are seeking! For our part, we don't expect
to see the era Of good feeling dawn at once
or that political millennium is at hand, and
we believe We viii hold on a while longer
and try to tide out the gale where we are.
