The Prohibition Question I'm North
Carolina.

The Raleigh NepS. Observer, in the course
of an editorial on the result Of Thursdays
election, says: 1t is one OF the blessings OF
a democratic government that the people
do Iule and do determine their own affairs.
The matter in this case submitted to them
was not party matter. 1t was not po-
ltical matter. II was one with which we
repeatedly said that the National Demo
cratic party did not concern itself. 1t
was outside OF party politics. The
grand organization to which all Demo
Gratis belong took no action and took
no part concerning it. Merrimon was
free to advocate its adoption; Scales
was free TO pronounce against 1t. Their
Democracy is unimpeacbed, and Tom
Bayard, who has stood by the southern
white men, and who has stood by the sacred
constitutional principles on which our party
rests with devotion that was almost
heroic, is free TO hold bis own views upon

To virginia Republicans.


Our latest information from Virginia Is
to the effect that the Republican Straight
outs have elected a clear majority OF Tue
delegates 10 the Convention, which meets at
Lvnchburg next Wednesday, but that the
Rtadjusler Republicans VIII contest Their
seats: and # they cannot secure absolute
control OF that body, will endeavor TO force
a split, with a view to holding another
convention, announcing themselves as
the only regular organic 'tlon, and
thus seeking TO capture the cOlored
vote for coalition. Under these cir
cumSlauces, It is The duty OF every true
Republican in tue LYnchburg Convention
to resist this bold, unscrupulous (hort TO
misreprestn the sentiment OF the party by
every means ia his power, and II tue worst
should happen, TO put ticket III the held,
Notwithstanding the secession OF the Re-
adjuster Republicans. Unless this be done,
there will 70 longer be any Republican
party in Virginia worthy Of the name or
deserving OF success. 1t never had such
an opportunity as is now offered to win
tie confidence aud support OF the people OF
Virginia.
To tolerate the Reputation OF State debts
is to invite the Reputation OF national
debls-deb.s which represent the price
" hich the loyal North paid for the liberia
ton OF the Slave-and lily would the
colored men Of Virginia requite the Repub'
Iican party were they now to drag it into
that slough Of disbonOr. We have no
patience with those time sewers who
would persuade the country that it is policy
for Virginia Republicans to unite with the
Rtadjusters. Honesty is the best policy in
politics as well as business, and just as
surely a. there is justice in Heaven so
surely will any departure from that policy
end in disgrace and disaster.

An Fashioned Campaign In Vir.
Cinia.
from the Philadelphia Times !

tFrcm the hltddelpnla lines
They are going TO have regular old
fashioned campaign in Virginia. The Dem.
ocratic candidate and the MshOnc candidate
for Governor do not even wait TO ascertain
the result Of the Republican Convention,
which will meet on Wednesday, but they
have already organized their campaigns
To-day they will meet in joint discussion Of
the issues to be determined by the election,
and together will canvass the State. This
is an old style OF conducting campaign
which is being revived TO an encouraging
extent. II the people care TO have speeches
at all, they doubtless prefer 10 have them
made as interesting as possible, aud joint
discussions are not only interesting but adj
ysntageOuS. People have a chance to hear
both sides OF the question, where under
other circumstances they would not care TO
concern thems elves about more than one.
Unfortunately, however, there is but one
side to the Virginia question in its present
shape.

Attracting Emigration Southwark.


A ceupe Of months ago, commenting on
the enormous influx OF European emil
grants. the Star sharply ceDsured the south
ern States for their iDdefensible lack OF en-
terprise in neglecting TO divert toward them
n larger share of this fruciifyine human
stream. Every industrious emi9rant Is
literally worth more than bis weight IN gold,
because bis capital and energy lend IN
creased value to The property Of bis neigh
bors ard accelerate industrial development,
cspcciaIlv in a sparsely.settled community.
In the great southern belt Of the United
States. stretching from The Atlantic to the
Pacific, between the 30th and 80 h parallels,
there are to day countless millions OF acres
20 be had at almost nominal prices, un>ur-
passed for prOductiveness. and accessible 10
markets. Emigration during and since the
war has mainly followed the beaten tran
westward, partly on account OF Republican
Misrepresentation, which pictured lhe
South as a home OF chaotic disorder ana
misgovernmcnt, but in large measure
also on account Of the inactivity OF
the southern people in this regard. or
course 50 long as carpet-bag mIsrule was
piIlng up mountains Of public debt, stealing
and sqnanderiug the public money, ana
straDgllng the taxpayers, few lntciiSen'
men, either native or alien, could be IN
duced to cast their lot with any Of the sorely'
plundered States. Now, however, that that
incubus has been removed, the South
should attract emigration TO people It's
waste places and cultivate ifs boCndIess re-
sources.
What may and should be done excessive
Is is Illustrated by what Is now being done
by the Southwestern Immigration ASsocia-
ton. which has established an admirably
equipped bureau in this city for the pur'
pose Of directing emigration toward Texas
and Arkansas.

NERVOUS HEADACHE,

NERVOUS CHlLLS.
THEIR DANGER AND SAD RESULTS.

All headaches are nervous, whether called SO or
not but there is certain class OF headaches That
are known as and called nervous headaches because
they are attended boy other nervous symptoms, and
what the patient calls nervous feelings or nervous
ness. Headaches are more dangerous than they are
generally supposed to be because few people die In
ft Of headache, bat they lead 10 the most serious
state Of things; nay, often end In death or insanity,
and are always the forerunner Of nervous chills.
Nervous chis are extremely dangerous, and are not
only attended by distressing nervous symptoms,
but by congestion Of the nervous centres, and often
prove fatal very suddenly. and should receive

Judge Thurman ana the supreme
Bench,

philadelphia Press, Repub ican.l
The suggestion OF a Democratic appoint
ment is usually coupled with the name OF
judge Thurman. His nomination would,
of course, conflict with the CHM OF New
England as much as Judge COoIey's, and Is
open to the further objection that it would
give Ohio three representatives on the SUI
preme bench. It is claimed. however, that
the President regards the idea very favor
ably. OF the Judges legal attachments
and personal fitness for the position The
President has, in common with the country
generally, the highest opinion. In addition
to this, though separated from Judge
Thurman all bis life by The wall OF party
politics, he has himself certified to The
sweetness Of the flowers which blOOmed
across that wall and to hi, long and strong
friendship for bis political opponent. In
the general suspension of party feeling
which at present obtains and the practical
support which the Administration finds in
Democratic quarters the suggestion OF
Judge Thurman's appointment to the SUI
preme Bench comes with peculiar force. 1t
might, indeed. be graceful act; it is, new
ertbeless, not so clear that 1t would be a
iudicOus and proper one.

The Star.ROute Frauds.

Mr.. Carson, the excellent Washington
correspondent OF the New York Times,
SAYS the methods by which the sar.rOute
ring stole the public money were essentially
the same, whether used 10 California and
Nevada, or i'm Louisiana and TeXss, but the
circumstances surrounding any route
caused them to vary somewhat, according
to the local necessity. In the histories
given below are seen the old trick
OF reducing service in the adver-
tisCment hl order TO give room for
costly increase afterwards; the uses OF
petitions and the recommendations OF con-
grossmen, hastily given the great differ
euce between the Governments pay to the
Dorsey contractors and others, and the pay
given by these contractors with the Depart
ment's knowledge TO the sub. contractors
who did the work the ineXcuslble increase
OF pay on routes which had been declared
useless by the Departments agents. the
plundering OF the Treasury by means
Of >traw.bidders on routes lying in the
desert; and the utter disregard Of the
protests OF citizens, bidders, and the
departments own employ e., VINO saw the
sWindles and endeaYored to expose them.
In each case there is something new-some
new display OF impudeut dishonesty, some
new evidence Of the accomplishment Of
robbery under the color Of legal sanction
aud the pTetenee OF developing the country.
The people cannot become too familiar with
these records.
