ing more can be expected Of him,
and nothing less ought to be.
There may. possibly, be room for differ
ence of opinion as to who will best serve the
city's interests at this juncture- Mayor
Chapman or Gen. Neal Dow. Honest men,
men who are sincerely seeking the city's well
fare, may differ as to that, but there can be
no room for doubt that the man who goes to
the polls and votes for Gen. Dow, not be-
cause he believes he is the better man for
Mayor, but simply out of curiosity to see
what he will do, is acting from unworthy
motives and is falset to his duties as citizen
We believe that at this time the interests
of the city will be better subserved by the
election of Mr.. Chapman to be its Mayor
than Gen. Neal Dow. We have given reas-
ons for this opinion which we believe sound.
The only quarrel we have with men who
honestly think otherwise is with their judg-
ment and that we think is very poor.
But to men, if there be any, who pro-
pose to vote for Gen. Neal Dow not because
they think he is the better man for Mayor or
even a proper man for that office, but out of
curiosity we have to say that they are medi
tating an act which impeaehes their qualifca-
tions for the rights of citizenship.

The Argus yesterday INDUCED in a feeble

istration of the finances of the city. Weak
as the showing was, it would have been much
less impressive had the Argus stuck to facts
1t eoolly increased the expenses of the Cen
tennial celebration $1,60i79 by taking no
account of the receipts. 1t asserted that the
expenditures ''of the Mayor and others in
their attempt to annex tie town of Deerlng'
was 81, 79l.31. Nov, itappears by the auditors
report that the whole expense incurred for
all matters presented before the legislature
affecting the city's interests was only 81 POL
OF, or $500 less than the Argus says was spent
on the Deering matter alone. This eXpendi-
ture covered the Deerng annexation, the
Pride and Stroudwater bridge matters, ferry
hnding. free text book matter, water COM
pany tax bill and legislation affecting the
Portland and 0gdensburg railroad. Mayor
Chapman and City Solicitor Symonds gave
their time, and good deal of it, to the bridge
and annexati IN matters without recompense.
As for the uniforming of the iremen, that
was the pet idea of the Deering adininistra-
ton and figured as one of its grandest achieve
ments in the Argus. The Coyes bill was
approved by committee of the city govern
ment, of which the late Alderman Gallagher
was chairman, while Mr.. Deering was mayor.
One of the Argus's anonymous icorps on
Tuesday charged Mayor Chapman with sell
lag land to the Maine Central Railroad
for 5000 which was worth $4,000 The
sale took place during Mayor behring's ad-
ministration.

Noting for Fun.


There is an impression pgeyailing-how
well founded it is we do not undertake to
say-that Gen. Dow will get a considerable
support from voters animated purely by GU
riosity. Such a motive is manifestly very
improper one to control the selection
OF a chief magistrate, who has in his
keeping interests affecting the welfare of
every citizen, and the man vino allows him
self to be guided by it is false to his duty.
There is no duty that falls to the lot of the
citizen that ought to be more conscientiously
performed than the duty of voting, because
there is no duty that may be so fraught with
consequences for good or evil. 1t is among
the possibilities that a single vote may de-
termine who is to be our next chief magis-
trate, ard every voter who goes to the polls
next Monday should bear this in mind, and
vote as he would vote If he absolutely knew
that his vote was to decide the contest. He
will then vote conscientiously and for what
he believes to be the best interests of the
city. When he has done that he has

pory Fishermen.

The protection of dory fishermen, subject
which has for long time been before the
public, has now come to the attention of
Congress, which has been asked to compel
by legislation the owners Of fishing vessels
to take adequate precautions against the
perls of the industry. Vessels engaged in
hand-line fishing on the Banks carry one
dory to every man, and trawlers one to every
two men of the crew, the term "crew" not
including the master and cock. who always
remain aboard. A trawler, carrying 16 men
would set seven travis. The vessel anchors
on the fishing grounds, often for weeks in
one place, and the men are sent off in dories
to fish with the lines or attend the travis, as
the case may be. When boatoad has been
taken each dory returns TO the schooner de-
posits its catch, and starts out for a fresh
supply. To these men working away from
the vessels, the dangers Of getting lost is al
ways imminent. The dory, when managed
by skillful fishermen, is one of the safest
of crafts; but once separated from the YES
sci on the cold and inclement Banks. hunger
and exposure soon exhaust and bewilder the
oarsman, and he drifts until death or pass
ing vessel put an end to the hardship. Fish
ermen, frozen in their dories, are picked up
in the Gulf of st. Lawrence in considerable
numbers every year. Last May five such I'M
fortunates, badly frost bitten, were found
within fifteen days. Two of them drifted
about six days in 0ory from the schooner
Richard Lester, suffering so from hunger
and thirst that on the fifth day one of them
requested the other to cut off his arm that
they might alleviate their thirst by drinking
the blood. Congress Is asked to pass law
compelling the master of every vessel en-
gagged in TRAVELLING or fishing with handlines
to see that no dory leaves his vessel for
fishing trip without having properly Sc
cured compass and sufficient quantity of
food and drink to sustain one or two men for
at least a week or ten days. The trouble
and expense Of such provisions would of
course be considerable, but the life of the
fisherman is not so devoid of perils that evss
cry precaution for his SAFETY should not be
falan

The failure of the New York grand july to
find an indictment for grand larceny against
Jay Gould and Russell Sage implies that in
the jury's opinion the use which these two
worthless made Of the Denver Pacific stock
was all right, or. ii not all right, at least not
so wrong as to properly be a subject for the
courts of justice to investigate. The details
of the transaction, whether it was all right
or all wrong, are sufficient to make the small
Spectators mouth water even at this late
date. Sometime before the Union Pacific
consolidation Gould and Sage as trustees
held 1886 shares of the Denver Pacific Rail-
way and telegraph Company, which was
part of the property covered oy the first
consolidated mortgage of the Kansas
Pacific Railway Company. BY suit at law,
for the bringing Of which it is alleged that
Gould and Sage themselves connived, the
two trustees were relieved of their trust.
There is dispute as to just what Gould and
Sage did after this happened. The men who
appeared against them before the grand
jury say that they embezzled the stock, but
do not seem to have convinced the grand
jury of this. 1t is certain that the stock was
eventually changed for new certificates of
stock of the Kansas Pacific Railway Compa-
ny on the eve of the Union Pacific consolida-
ton, and from being nearly worthless came
to be worth $3,000,000 to Gould and Sage.
Perhaps it was jealousy Of the superior good
fortune or superior smaltness of Messrs
Gould and Sage in thus getting, without
much sweat or toll, sum of money that
might, If divided, furnish competencies for
several hundred modest men, that impelled
envious men to bring legal charges. Such
charges are usually made when a few men
reap rich harvest out of railroad wherein
many people have invested their small earn
ings. And it is rather unfortunate that the
transactions, either because they are very
large and complicated or very well covered
up, are generally so imperfertly understood
by the public that the men who have profit
ed are subjected to unjust suspicion If they
have been honest, and are allowed unjust
immunity if they have been dishonest The
New York grand jury have come to the con-
clusion that Gould and Sage are too honest
or sscca smart to be punished. Unfortunately
for the fame of the two men, New York
jurymen, like New York aldermen, are not
famous for clear headed treatment of ques-
tions where great interests are involved.

EFFECT OF THE DECLARATIONS

Mr.. Blaine has reiterated, in an interview
with Mr.. Crawford. the European cores
pondent Of the New York World, the decli-
nation TO allow his name to be presented at
the Chicago convention, being somewhat
more emphatic than in his formal letter to
Chairman Jones. These destinations, how
ever, do not lessen the esteem in which Mr..
Blaine is held by his countrymen; they only
add to the regret that they cannot again
march under his leadership.

Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1888-04-07

Mr.. A. Johnson, a contractor and
builder of this place, has completed The
plans, and commenced the erection of a
very desirable cottage on his property
on the corner Of Montgomery and Fifth
street. The main building will be l6x3O
feet, with a back addition of l4x24 feet.
The building will be one and a half
stories high, and when completed will
add much to the appearance Of that
portion Of the town. The CHRONICLE
has repeatedly called attention to the
lack of residence buildings in this CITY,
and urged the erection Of II number of
such cottages as Mr.. J. is now building.
as an enterprise promising profitable
returns, but up TO this time without APP
parent effect. 1t is to be hoped that Mr..
j. will erect a number of such cottages
during the year, and at least partially
satisfy the constantly growing demand
in this direction; and yet We are not
entirely clear as to his intentions, and
after all, he may be merely building
this cottage to supply a demand Of his
W creation, and may be the happy
head of a family there installed before
the robins come and nest again.
