Prohibition Does Not Prohibit.

In recent correspondence OF The
Sun, including the interesting letter
from Bangor printed this morning,
our readers have found vivid and
absolutely true picture of the opera
otthe prohibitory law in Maine, the
State to which prohibitionists in all
other parts of the country point as an
illustration of what can be done in the
way OF suppressing liquor traffic by
legislative enactment.
The actual state Of affairs III Maine
is perfectly well understood by every
Maine man with eyes in his head, and
by every observant visitor to Maine.
In no part Of the world is the spec
tacle of drunken men reeling along
the streets more common than in the
cities and larger towns in Maine.
Nowhere in the world is the average
quality of the liquor sold SO bad, and
consequently so dangerous to the
health OF the consumer and the peace
OF the public.
The facilities for obtaining liquor
vary indifferent parts of the State,
from the cities where fancy drinks are
openly compounded and sold over rose
wood bars to the places where it is dis.
lpensed by the swig from fat bottles
carried around in the breeches pockets
perambulating dealers. But liquor
good or bad, can be bought anywhere.
The latest attempt to enforce the
law BY special State constabIes acting
independently OF the police Is, like all
previous attempts, grotesque failure
| In single city of less than ter
thousand inhabitants, where at pres
ent there is an unusually active effori
to enforce the law, the number of sa
looms notoriously open for retail traffic
is between sixty and seventy.
The transportation OF liquor into
Maine by freight md express from
Boston and New York is practically a
. unrestraired as the transportation o
-four and coffee.
Maine people drink far more thai
their share Of abominable whiske,
and stale fiat beer, Massachusetts
: wholesale dealers make far moie thai
a Legitimate profit on their Main
| custom.
To the various forms of crime fos
tered by this unwise method of deal
ing with the evils of intemperance
perjury must be added 1t is fact
however singular or deplorab'e TINA,
: seem, that many citizens of respects
: BILE standing do not now hesitate
? perjure themselves when summone,
: before the Grand Jury as witnesses j
0 in liquor cases. There is GROWN
! sentiment or convention which Just
I fles this sort of perjury, similar t
that which in other communities sur
ports man in swearing falsely wher
/. a woman's honor is involved.
The fanatical promoters of prohib
ton, driven from expedient to exped
|. ent in their hopeless attempt to a,
is complish the impracticable, will ne
Il er rest content until they have la
n making the act Of drinking liquor {
It beer in itself criminal offence.
e These are bottom truths about pr
4. hibition in Maine, and they exhibit tn
t. latest results OF an experiment
% which the friends OF the system hay
b had their own way for nearly half
y century-M Y. Sun.

THE GIMLET BRIDGE.
IL Will be Removed to the East Fork
and q New Bridge Built Nearer "a
HALEY.

and New Bridge Built Nearer to
HALEY.
Commissioners Warren and Gil
lette and half-a-dozen business men
of this city met at Gimlet, last even
ing, 10 select site for the new
bridge about to he thrown across
Wood River at that place. They
agreed that, if the right Of way could
he obtained free of cost, they would
put the new bridge about 200 feet
nearer HALEY than the old one. If
this is done the wagon road from
HALEY to the bridge can be kept in
the valley, and on this side of the rail-
way track all tue way.
The old bridge, Mr.. Gillette said,
could be given to the people Of the
East Fork and Ketchum, who had
already agreed to move it at their
own expense and throw it over Wood
River at the junction of the East
Fork with the main stream. This
need not cost the road district over
800, as the citizens had promised to
DO the work themselves.
Thus has a cause of contention
been removed. The people of Ket-
chum desired to have the bridge at
the East Fork, while the people OF
HALEY and those having business in
Greenhorn guloh wanted it closer to
HALEY than the present bridge. II
put at the East Fork it would
seriously discommode those having
to go to and from Greenhorn gulch;
while |: placed nearer than Gimlet
the people of the East Fork going to
and from Ketchum would lie taken
half mile out of their way. The
two bridges will therefore accommo.

HEART DISEASE,
That Was What Allied "Curly" Last
Evening.

That Was What Allied "Curly" Last
Evening.
"Curly." the barkeeper at the P X
saloon, was attacked with heart dis
ease, about 6 o'clock last evening, and
went to his lodgings to die. DR..
Brown was called, and for fully p
hours he worked with the poor fellow,
endeavoring to arouse him. At frs,
he was made to sit on chair outside
of bis lodgings. at the southwest cor.
ner of Croy and River streets, and
was kept there while DR.. Brown slap.
ped him on barred breast, and in the
back and face; after half an hour OF
SO at this, Curly was sufficiently
aroused to get up, swearing, and try
to walk away; but two of his friends,
acting under the physicians instruc.
tons, leased him until he bit one of
them a thwack on the head that was
heard block away. This being &C.
cepted as evidence OF an improved
condition, the ANNOYANCE was con.
tinued until Curly or "Tex." (as he is
perhaps better known) was perfectly
frantic and threatened to whip the
whole crowd.
About 0 o'clock Dr.. Brown deemed
the patient sufficiently improved to
admit of his (the physician's) taking
rest. He therefore went home,
leaving instructions to keep him in
formed Of the symptoms manifested
and condition Of the patient, who
seemed in fair way Of recovering.
Curly formerly owned claim in
Leadville. He had barely located i,
when he was offered $4,000 cash fol
it which he accepted, and witt
which he hal a good time while the
money lasted. About Eve years age
he came to Wood River, prospected
awhile, and then went to work in
town. While the physician was work.
ing on him, last evening, it was gen.
orally believed that the man was the
worse for liquor. This was mistake
as he had not tasted strong drink fo1
over four years.
