Treasurer He is now the only candi-
date for State Office from the West,

Cosr OF DRINK.-The following, which we
CLIP from the Santa Clara Aryas, merits at
least passing notice by every honest person.
It is cleaned from the census and other equally
reliable sources, by one who is not "temper-
ance fanatic" who neither lectures nor writes
on the subject, aud is of undoubted reliability.
1t shows that we pay enough every two years
for intoxicating drink to pay off the National
debt and have quite respectable margin left
for official stealage besides; or enough to edu'
cate, clothe and feed all of the orphan children,
and to support all Of the paupers in the coun-
try for whole generation. Is the article pur-
chased worth the COST We think no sensible
man will pretend to doubt that his money is
thrown away when given for drinks:
The last census showed that the total amount
of money spent in the United States for intOx-
icating liquors, in the year 1870, was Sl,4o7. :
100000. 1t appears. also. from official records
that there were 14O 900 licensed liquor saloons,
having an estimated average patronage OF forty
persons. making $500, 900 drinkers. A writer
in the New York Evening Post, Classics these
drinkers as follows:

ELECTION.

An election will be held at the several poll.
inp places, 10 Commissioner District No. !, on
Thursday, the 10Th inst, TO Gil the vacancy in
the Board of Commissioners for this county
caused by the absence of Hon. I. P. Lambing.
The election of County Commissioner is al
WAYS, or should be, matter of the deepest i'm
portance and concern to tax payers, and to
whoever desires to see the county prosperous;
for on the ability, wisdom and honesty OF the
Commissioners more than of any other off,
GERS depends the financial welfare OF the
county. They sit in judgment upon. and al
low or disallOw, all claims of whatever nature
against the county treasury, and these are gen.
orally numerous enough and of doubtful
enough propriety, even under the strictest re-
gime Under circumstances favorable to the
allowance of hatched-up and fraudulent claims
against the county. no man could estimate the
number of such bills which would be present
ed and allowed at each session of the Board;
and in six months the county would be bank.
rupt. Therefore. in voting for man for Coun-
ty Commissioner, it behooves every man hav-
ing his own or the pubic's interest at heart. to
bring his best judgment to bear, aud vote for the
candidate who. in his judgment, is the best quail
fed to perform integently the duties of the posi-
ton he aspres to, and whose honesty and un.
swerving fidelity to the right is most to be relied
upon in the hour of danger Such man, we
take it, is Mr.. w. W. Black, whose candidacy
is announced by card. in this number of the
WORLD. Whether he is to have an opponent
in the field we are not reliably informed. nor
do we think it matters. Mr.. Blacks long res.
idence in Idaho City and intimate business re-
latons with its people, coupled with his scru-
pulous honesty in all his dealings with men and
his well.known and exceptionally good habits
of life, are doubtless sufficient to insure his
election over almost any competitor who could
be brought into the field against him There
is, indeed, rumor ailoat on the street that
Mr.. Samuel Stewart is also 4 candidate, but
we regard this as rumor only. II. however. II
should transpre that he is a candidate. the an
nouncement Of the fact will be mad. in due
time, we apprchend and then the voters will
be called upon to choose between him and Mr..
Black.

require parties demanding q jury trial. to give

He does not seem to see that each party would

INFLArIoN-Some of our leading states
men" are in favor of issuing more paper money.
They imagine they see in an imitation OF the
currency q remedy for all the financial evils
which the country is heir to. In opposition to
this robbers scheme the New York Sun recites
this bit of history: "Soulouque, the former
Emperor of Hayti, was firm believer in the
policy of imitation, and carried his theories into
practice. Whenever the funds in the treasury
ran low. the printing presses were put in ope
ration and currency was issued freely to re-
move the crops and pay the expenses of the
dusky Emperor and his colored courts. At the
end Of the Emperor's reign, money was more
abundant than in any country in the world,
and the luxurious Haytians thought nothing OF
paying FIVE dollars for cigar and fifty dollars
for dinner for one. The only drawback to
this state of general prosperity was. that it was
but toerable dinner that one could buy for
fifty dollars, while it took about two thousand
dollars to pay for respectable suit of clothes.
