Legal.

We have heard 1t affirmed that ten
per cent of the winters legislation ut
Annapolis would not bear the test of
the courts and the Governors refusal
to sign so large number gives color to
the report.
Our readers need not therefore be
surprised to learn that the case about
to be tried in Frederick, in which the
constitutionality of the new Jail and
Almshouse Law is to be tested before
the court, should prove to have some
defect. The great bulkiness and world
ness of the law will be itself weak
ness, inasmuch as it thus presents SO
many points that may be attacked and
ii the attack is made good against but
one, it renders the law practically
worthless. for there is no. hing so char
acterless as law that requires bolster
ing.
If. however, the law should prove
invuln.rable and at the same time if in
its practical workings, it should prove
to be the reform measure that its friends
now claim it to be, then We would urge
upon the executive officers of the coun-
ty the exaction of the last item i'll its
requirement and while they.are attend
ing to its full and perfect execution,
let them not forget, that there are num-
berless instances outside of that law
and in reference to other matters,
wherein they have large discretionary
power, and while Sheriff Grove is made
to feel the effect of u great reform move
ment, let them see to it that in no other
instance wherein it is within their pow
er to prevent it, that others are permit,
ted to reap unlawful or unwarranted
harvests of costs. There is nothing res
pectable in u movement that is directed
at but one source of loss to the people,
when others exist just us unwarranted if
even not Of so great extent and 1t be-
comes the people Of Frederick county to
let their officers know that such is not
their disposition.
Let us be informed then first, if we
have a reform law, second if it is to be
ofany practical worth and finally wheth-
err it is sweeping non-partlsan measure
or u mere political guillotine. The
court will inform us on the first head;
we must rely npon our commissioners
to furnish an answer to the second
while figures only, in an Annual State
mcnt, can be relied upon to convince
afl as to the intent of the measure, IN
the third aspect.

POLITICAL.

The Baltimore American now claims
this state for Blaine, beyond all doubt,
so far as the wishes of the people go,
but saws, the managers may even yet
stifle that sentiment and secure del
egaton to Chicago for any body except
Blaine, quoting the past to justify the
assertion.
At present there seems to be no 9TH
er decided boom in the republican par.
ty than Blaine's, bnt as it is yet nearly
two months until the Chicago conven-
meets, there i, ample time for it to 60
into decline and another to take it's
place.
In the democratic camp there is sort
of battilion drill going on, that looks
as though the ticket of 1876, or its head
Tilden would be asked to command the
corps after a proper amount of drill and
organization has been effected, but his
savery diplomatic campaign thus far
if he means to accept, for all that one
can here from him is to the effect that
he will not accept, even if nominated,
In the meantime Congress is manufIc-
turing campaign thunder out Of tariff
for protection, tariff for revenue, free
trade and political riots.
What u privilege; to vote as one
pleases, after having been taught truth
and untruth in equal quantities by the
politicians; just as the one may suit
better than the other.

1t appears, after all, that in case

HOW TO MAKE Low GRADE ORES
PAY.

The $50 rate on low grade ore
from Haley to Omaha having been
recalled or discontinued, it behooves
the owners of low-grade ore mines to
study some other way of making the
most OF their ore, SO as to get the last
cent possible out of it. The best wav
OF doing this ane oubtedly is by concen-
trat'on. Luckily for this section, con-
centratlng works on a small scale can
be secured at merely nominal expense.
"o years ago, when the expert.
ment of concentrating was first tried
at Bullion, a jig was erected at the
Jay Gould mine which cost ONLY SG5.
This jig was worked entirely by hand,
and ma, lie from one to two tons of
hrst-class ore per day at an expense
of less than $40. To be sure, it was
quite primitive affair, and worked
very slowly, but it answered the pur-
pose until larger works could be GOT.
Mine-owners who cannot afford to
erect large works have here prece-
dent which they can follow. Let
them erect a small jig, and month or
two thereafter they will be in such
circumstances that they can afford to
buy an entire first.class plant. If
they cannot do this, they can at least
add mere hand jigs, and in few
weeks their daily product will amount
to SO respectable sum that they can
easily obtain machinery on time.
If all the mine owners who have
low-grade ore will do this, the s..
rate on all ores will soon cease To an.
noy them, as their concentrates will
be worth all of $500 ton, and they will
then reduce the waste in their ores
upon which they have heretofore had
to pay full rates Of freight to min
inum.
Concentration is evidently the So
luton OF the problem of how to make
lo"'srade ores pay in this region.

them capable of enduring vastly

KANSAS CITY AGAIN MARKET

Since the Withdrawal of the $40
rate on low grade ores, from HALEY
to Omaha, Kansas City has rc-entered
the Wood River ore market, and is
now competing with Omaha. The
latter place still has tho advantage.
however, as it has special contracts
with most of the leading orc pro-
dueers OF Wood River, by virtue of
which it charges them only slS.75
for smelling, thus giving them an adj
vantage of $l:5 per ton over the
lesser producers. These contracts
have still some months, and in one or
TWO cases, some years, to run. The
Parker and other steady producers
can doubtless obtain this rebate of
Si'o per ton. AT any rate, their
managers should endeavor to Get it.
