The Pennsylvania Railroad last week
took step which is said TO mark "the
beginning OF the end" of every connec-
ton of the liquor traffic with the big rail-
road system. Sale of liquor was discon-
tinued at tile Union Station in Pittsburg
and issuance OF orders abolishing the
bars in the Philadelphia, Baltimore and
New York stations is said to be con:em-
plated. This decision OF the railroad
company concerning the sale OF liquor in
its station restaurants, though coming
somewhat as surprise, is in line with
the company'S demands for strict prohi-
bition among its employees and the aboli-
ton of rum from its dining cars about a
year ago.

The campaign for Statewide prohibition
in Virginia has begun, and the temper
ance people of that State are going to
wage such tight as they have never
fought before. There is every hope and
belief that they will win by at least 1000
majority at the election next fall, for
from every quarter comes assistance and
many righteous influences are at work.
The whiSkey interests are OF course at
work, too, and money and every evil
scheme that can be concocted will be
used by the distillerS and brewers and
on-keepers, who realize that they
are being fought to a finish.
Good luck TO the men and women OF
Virginia who are seeking TO rid their
splendid State OF the greatest curse in the
world.
