MoSEY, alone, will build railroads,
and some OF the counties OF the State
where railroad projects are on foot begin
to recognize and act on this practical
fact. They will vote on county or dis
trict subscriptions. Mouongalia county
will vote next month, and other coun-
ties will probably follow the example.
This is fair way of dividing tie bur
den. All will share the profit and all
should pay. A railroad will increase
the taxable value of the property Of
every county through which it passes
sufficient to pay any reasonable sub
scription within two or three years.
Every county in the State can afford to
have railroad that can command the
means to build it, ana about the only
way to have it is TO vote the money.
The gods help those who help them
selves.

ACCOMPANIMENT AND A CoMMEN-
TARY

Various speculatiOns are being made
as to the probable course OF the Secre-
tary of the Treasury in bridging the
dificulty which HAYES veto of the
funding bill has brought about.
The most surprising lac: in this con-
nection is the statement which seems
TO be made with gr,a. confidence, that
the Secretary will be able to arrange
with the bank. even in the absence OF
the three per cent. funding bill, and in
the absence ri any restriction OF law
limiting the Secretary to as per cent.
rate OF interest in his funding opera
tons, to take care Of 500, 100000 OF the
5 and 6 per cent. bonds at 5 per cent, or
not exceeding 5 10 per cent.
Ii anything could be more conclusive
than this, of the wisdom Of the per
cent. funding bill which the Republicans
labored TO defeat, and required Hayes
to veto, il is not necessary to bring it
forward.
The proposition is said to come from
the banks themselves, for an extension
of the IS and Go in their hands at rate
OF or 81 per cent.
But there are other ways open to the
Secretary by which the greater part of
the and 6 per cent. bonds can be re-
funded at the 5 per cent. rate. There
are two classes OF bonds which the Sec
rotary has right 70 sell under existing
laws-a Al per cent. bond, which is re-
deema5le on September /, 1891, and q
percent. bond which is not redeemsble
for twenty-six years, or until July ],
1907. These bonds could now be sod,
on the current quotation, ior premium
which would reduce the interest actually
paid by the treasury 10 fraction under
81 per cent. In the opinion Of bankers
the plethoric condition of the money
market in June will render il entirely
feasible to sell these bonds at premium
which will reduce the interest to 3 per
cent.
The only question seems to De as to
which class Of bonds shall be put on the
market, the per cents, redeemable in
% years, or the II per cents, redeema-
Bile in 10 years. 1t is evident that the
government would lose less money by
borrowing at Al per cent for ten years
than by binding itself to pay 1 per cent
for PC years. But ii the u bonds can
be sold at premium which will re-
duce the rate Of interest to 5 per cent,
as is confidently believed, that would be
practically carrying out the provisions
of the 3per cent. funding bill. and is
the highest compliment that could be
maid a Democratic Congress, as well as
the most cogent commentary that could
be made upon the obstructive policy
that seems to characterize the Repub-
licans in all important matters Of lesis-
lation.

An Albany special says that for some
days previous to the announcement oil
Senator RoBERTsoN's appointment that
gentleman had been somewhat despoH-
dent over the political stu alton, and
that very morning he had been talking
sadly to some personal friends about the
ingratitude OF politicians. He stated
that he was going TO retire altogether
from politics, il such services as he had
rendered were not rewarded. One gen.
tleman asked him if he was going 10
give up his fight against CoNELING and
the boss system. "NO, not till
/ die" he responded, and
then continued: at looks
as if they were afraid to fight CoSELISG
at Washington. Why, We were not
afraid OF him at Chicago, and We de-
feated his candidate" And all the
other anti. CoNKLISG Republicans were
terribly respondent until the news OF
ROBERTSON 5 appointment reached them,
and then they were exuberantly happy.
The cup that cheers and inebriates was
freely passed, and many OF the high
toned hali-breeds are reported TO have
been hilariously happy. The present
indications are that they shouted" be-
fore they got out Of the woods.

IT seems to be too early yet to talk
about the past winter, but the signal
service figures out that 1t has been by
far the severest We have had since the
government observations began. The
average temperature has been greatly
below the mean OF the last seven or
eight years, and the total amount Of
rainfall and melted snow was also much
greater than the average. If April is
taken into account, with its clustering
winds and zero temperature in many
parts OF the country, the duration Of
the cold term will exceed anything
known for many years.

ruuMAING MooKnRY.

We referred, q few days ago, to the
fact that the Toronto Globe had sent
correspondent into Maine to investigate
the operations Of the prohlbitory liquor
laws in that State. The mission was in
the interest of the prohibition theory,
and the correspondent is special advo-
cate Of prohibition. And these are the
facts which he reports from Portland:
%. 1.-The law is not being strictly en-
forced here now, and liquor is easily
procurable by any who care to go into
the low dens where it is kept. (2.)
Liquors can be had by the guests at the
leading hotels, and it is also procurable
at many OF the druggists. (3.) Lager
beer is procurable with oysters at nearly
all the oyster houses in this city.
a. All parties admit that the
law is being exceptionally disregarded
Just now, and nearly all look forward to
much more rigid enforcement OF 1t
within the next few weeks. (5). All
admit that under efficient officers, who
are willing To do their work honestly,
the trade can be so circumscribed that
the oyster houses and drug stores will
20 out OF it altogether, while only the
guests OF the house will be able TO get
liquor at the hotels,a and that the outside
drinking will be confined to the clubs
and the lowest dens in the city,
This is not as sunny q picture as NEAL
Dow has been wont to paint OF prohibi.
ton in Maine, but it corresponds very
well with the testimony of many other
observers. We notice similarity, how
ever in the speculations of this cores.
pendent with those of NEAL Dow: that
prohibition in Maine will be more sue
cessful when they have installed "efii.
Gent officers who are willing to do their
work hone stly." OF coursel But there's
the rub. The fact is that no community
has vet been found efficient" enough
to enforce prohibitory law. That day
hasn't come yet.

A DEMOCRATIC Senator's views on the
situation and the deadlock are given as
follows:
Ii the Republicans think We are going
TO weaken on this thing they are greatly
mistaken. AS soon as the issue is clear
ly made We shall divide our side into re-.
lays and enter Systematically into the
fight. 1t will require only about
eighteen Democrats at most TO be in
Washington to demand yea and nay
votes on obstructive motions indefinite
ly. There will be these relays relieving
each other through the summer OF as
long as the Republicans care to keep up
the fight"

than double the receipts of the same
three days last year. The totalfor the
season is now 447, ,49S bales ahead of
last year, and 818,171 bales ahead of
the year before at the same time. This
accounts for the rapid pulling down of
prices during the past two weeks.
