EDITORIAL NOTES.
For the firat time 14 26 years the
entire control of the State Government
has passed from the Democratic party
and is virtually under the control of
the Republican party.
On Saturday night a block ot the
berton was destroyed. The fire origi-
nated in a store underneath the Robe"
sonian office. We regret excsedingly
that Mr. McDairmid, editor of the
Robesonian, lost his entire office, not a
centTs worth being saved out of it. His
luss is estimated at $o,0U0 with insu- |
rance for only $3,000.

Bicycle Fire Engine.
InT Paris is to be seen a fire
~engine propelled by cycling fire-
~men. The machine has the ap-
pearance of two tandem bicycles
coupled with a single steering
post. Hanging between the two.
bieycle fraunes are the hose reel
anda rotary pump. The whole
outfit weighs less than 140
~pounds, aud four experienced
~wheelmen can push this aloog
faster than any other- fire engine
ever went. The foot power ot the
senrcanananessrsraaniruesasts
four men propels the machine to}:
the scene of action, and when
oonce there the same power pumps
the water. After the arriyal at
the scene each man is assigned
to some part of the duty of mak-
ing the change. Une raises the
back of the machine. on a,Jeg,
allowing the rear wheels to \ye-
_ yolve freely. He also throws the
~pump into working order, andT
. the others have unreeled the hose
and made the coupling connec.
tions. Then, jumping: into the
saddles again, the energies of the
men are directed to pumping.
About 4,500 gallons of water per
opour can be thrown bevween
seventy-five and ope hundred
feet in the air. The rapidity
with which the machine can be)
propelled toa fire and also wath,
which it can be put into action
are its two great advantages. Iu

A Few Remarks About Friae.
True pride is a good thing. It
» inspires higher motives and bet-
. ter actions. But false pride is
bad.
Some people are proud be-
cause they possess a little wore
of this worldTs goods than their
neighbors; this is the pride of
wealth, and is a false pride
Some are proud because they
fire beiter educated"know more
~"than their neighbors. ~This
port of prideis not so bad; but if
- Buch people would only reflect
how little they know in compari-
gon to what is to be known, they
would betier realize how little
they haye to be proud of atter
pil.
Some people, though poor, are
too proud to work. This is mean
pride. Workis honorable. The
~ Gdler is of no use to himself, or
herself, or to anybody, bat is a
Gead expense and burden upon.

Big Insurance Money.
The fire insurance adjusters,
who sre making up their annual
statements, réport that the busi-
ness ~of the past year has been
one of the most prosperous they
have ever evjoyed. Losses in the
aggregate are believed! to have
been several millions less during
1896 than for years previous, and
all the great companies expect to
tiakean-exceHent showing. One
president, who bas received au-
thentic information, told of one
concern which had made a clear
prefit~of 86 per cent. on a capital
of $200,000. Another with a capi
tal of $250,000 made 61 per ~cent.
One of the bes; New England
companies reports a profit of 29
per cent. on the enormous Capl-
tal of $4,000,000. -Other reports
quite as startling are looked for."

A writer in tho Winston Repub.
lican of last week discusses with
aspérity a recent statement of
the Observer. that the bench of
the State ia filled. at this time, toa
great extent, oby wen of poor
bility and general unfitness for
the positions they hold.� This
declaration is met with the dec-
laration that there is not one of
the present judges othat is pot
equal in learning and ability to
some of the Democratic judges ou
the bench and to several that
have been on the bench since
Democracy has bad control of the
Siate.� That might be conceded
and still our contention hold
good. But itis a matter of com-
mon knowledge that the bench 1n
North Carolina today is weaker
than it has been in twenty yeers.

will speak candidiy, will say so,

knows it"-Charlotte Observer.

Thomas Carlyle on Justice and Sugcess.
In this God's woritd, with its
wild whirling, eddies and mad foam
oceans, where men and nations per-
ish as if without laws and judgment
for an unjust thing is sternly de-
layed, dost thou think that thero is
therefore no justice? It is what the
fool hath said in his heart. It is
what the wise in al] times were wise
because they denied and knew for-
ever not to be. I tell you agaiz
there is nothing else but justice.
One strong thing I find here below
"the just thing, the true thing.
My friend, if tuou hadst all the ar-
tillery of Woolwich trundling at thy
back in support of an unjust thing
and infinite bonfires visibly waiting
ahead of thee to blaze centuries long
for thy victory on behalf of it, I
would advise thee to call halt, to
fling down thy baton and say in
God's name, ~~No!�T
Thy ~~success?TT Poor devil, whut
will this success amount to? If the
thing is unjust, thou hast not suc-
ceeded. No, not though bonfires
blazed from north to south, and
bells rang, and editors wrote leading
articles, and the just thing lay tram-
pled out of sight to all mortal eyes
an abolished and annihilated thing.
Success? Ina few years thou wilt
be dead and dark"all cold, eyeless,
deaf, no blaze of bonfires, dingdong
of bells, visible or audible to thee
again at all forever. What kind of
success is that?"Thomas Carlyle
