SILVER CITY NOTES.

The s,asst fortnight has shown a
great Frightening of the countes
nances of Silver City people. Every 7
mill in the camp is steadily run |
ming on good ore, and several Of
the less prominent mines are pay
ing handsomely. Among these, the
Illinois Central, adjoining the great
Poonnan, is turning out quite a
quantity of $50 ore. while three or
four other mines which have been
considered 10 more than prospects
are showing up in fine shape
The Owyhee mine has now in the
breast of its lower level tive-foot
vein which has made Mr.. Howe, the
popular superintendent, forget all
about free trade or protection.
The Cosmos mill keeps steadily
pounding away on the fine silver
ore from the big Wilson mine, and
Judging from the present showing
in the mine it could keep pounding
away forever. 1t being either a
question of bringing the mountain
to the mill or the mill to the noun
tain, Captain DeLamar has decided
to do the latter, and is asking bids
for its removal to Wagontown.

Tho Presidents Message.

If there were any doubt that the President
was grievously disappointed with the result
of the election, his message to Congress has
removed 1t. His cup of bitterness is so
full that 1t runs over and spatters his mes
sage plentifuIly with its contents. Instead
of calm, dignifed, thoughtful address,
modelled according to the precedents estab-
lished by the great men who have filed the
presidential office, Mr.. Cleveland inficts up
on the country stump speech. Of the varie-
ty that Is accustomed to fall from the lips
of wild-eyed reformers, disappointed and
angry because the people have refused to
accept their theories and swallow their
nostrums. Mr. Cleveland seems to be aw-
fully out of sorts. The government may
be at peace with all the world, but the head
of 1t is apparently at peace with nobody.
He scolds Congress and pitches into corpora
tions and protected manufacturers with
great vigor and with every evidence of being
thoroughly mad. According to the Presi-
dent. the country is fast going to the dogs.
The farmers are robbed, the laboring men
are robbed, almost everybody is robbed by
our protective system. Mr.. Cleveland has
rehashed the assertions, the arguments and
the gloomy predictions of the Democratic
newspapers during the campaign, and fired
them all off at once. 1t is lucky that the
country had got used to such talk
before this message made its appearance.
else with its forbodings Of strife and disaster
it might have created tremendous exodus
of people fleeing from the impending
doom. AS it is probably the message Will
have no worse effect than to convince people
that Mr.. Cleveland wanted to be President
four years more very much indeed and is
not at all reconciled to his defeat, and that
he deserves all the reputation for obstinacy
he has obtained.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1888-12-04

body else has been moved by 1t and has de-
manded that such practices cease, they have
insisted practically that they continue. be-
cause they were essential to the success Of
the Democratic party. Nobody ever heard
of a Democrat that showed the slightest
hesitation to profit by these practices.
President Cleveland owes his election to
them, so do Democratic Senators and
Representatives from many Southern States
and districts. But since the recent
election the average Democrat has been
sitting in sackcloth and ashes bewail-
ing the corruption Of the recent cam
paign. Rachel mourning for her children
scarcely presented such picture of sorrow
and desolation as do these Democrats la
menting the degeneracy of the times. News
papers which few weeks ago were shouting
for Hill, the avowed champion of free rum
and the ayowed enemy of ballot reform,
have now grown fearful ove1 alleged corrupt
practices by the Republicans in the recent
campaign. They profess to want an investi-
cation. There are doubtless sincere death
bed conversions, but such conversions are
very properly viewed with suspicion. Per-
haps this awakening of the Democracy to
questions of morality may be genuine, but
there are some things about it that arouse
suspicion. One Is the anxiety to confne the in
vestigation to Republican campaign methods
Why not reveal all the corruption, IL there
was any In the recent campaign, Democratic
as well as Republican? If the Republicans
had large campaign fund so did the Demo
Gratis, and there is just as much reason to
suspect that the latter was used for improper
purposes as the former. If the Democrats
want to convince the public of their sincerity
In this matter, the best way to do it is to
make clean breast Of what they know about
the disposal of the Democratic campaign
fund. But better than exposing the corrupt
practices Of the past, il there have been any,
would be the framing of laws to prevent
their recurrence In the future. Last winter
the Republican legislature of New York
passed ballot reform bill which had it be-
come law would have made bribery imprac-
ticable. This bill win undoubtedly be
passed again this winter. Now If the De-
mocracy are sincere in their demand for
a pure ballot, let them go to work and COM
pei Gov. Hill to sign it, Let them also pre-
vent repetition Of the ballot box frauds
that have been annually committed in the
South for dozen years past These things
will be works meet for repentance, and will
convince the country that the Democracy
have really been born again. But wailing
over alleged Republican corruption while
permitting corruption which they might put
stop TO to flourish right under their eye
will not be likely to impress the country
with any other idea than that the persons
who are guilty of these inconsistencies are
no better than bypocrites.

Congressman Oates of Alabama thinks the
best way to solve the Southern problem is to
disfranchise the negro. That can be done
only by constitutional amendment, and such
amendment could never receive the sanction
OF the necessary number of States. The ne
gro has been given the ballot; it is impossi-
Bile now to legally take it away from him.
Nevertheless it is taken away from him In
eight or ten States quite as effectively as IL it
had been done by constitutional amendment.
but with this difference, that while the negro
Is deprived OF his right to vote he is still
reekoned as voter when the enumeration is
made to fix the representation of the South.
were the negro legally DISTINGUISHED he
could not be counted in this enumeration;
and the representation of the Solid South in
Congress and the electoral college would be
greatly reduced. Instead of 12l members of
the House from the old slave States there
would be but eighty. In view of this effect
Congressman Oates's plan is not likely
to prove popular in his own section.
The white South Carolinian who now
counts for as much in the government as
three white voters in Maine or any other
Northern State, is not likely to grow enthu-
siastic over plan under which he will be
shorn of two-thirds of his present conse-
quence. 1t is to the credit of Congressman
oates, however, that he admits that the
South is at present in possession of stolen
goods, and that he is willns to surrender
them. In bis ideas as regards the negro he
is Bourbon, but his views on the subject
OF larceny are sound.

The Presidents gloominess may be due to
too much Thanksgiving dinner

1t required several great nations to fight
the Thirty Years war; but few towns on
the line Of Somerset and Waldo counties
have just ended war over bridge that be-
gan forty-two years ago. The bridge crosses
the river Sebasticook at Peltoma Point be-
tween the towns of Pittsfield and Detroit.
Actual hostilities began in 1876 when "Hiram
Hutchinson and forty-eight others" petit
TONED and secured the location of the road
and bridge. In 1S4s Thomas Fowler town
agent Of Unity" petitioned for discontinu-
ance Of the road, and the battle was fully on.
But there had been skirmishes even before
this, one in 1888 and another as early as 1928 !;
although with 1886 began the actual contest.
The Fight seems to have languished during
the civil war, but in 1877 it began again, and
during this decade has been carried on Wig
orously going from the court Of the county
commissioners up TO the Law Court Pitts
field, with allies in Burnham, Unity and
Troy, has fought for the bridge and the town
OF Detroit against it, Detroit has at last
yielded, and bridge costing $4,000 has been
completed and opened for travel. The law
costs have not been fully reckoned and prob
ably never will be; but they would un-
doubleday amount to enough to build several
similar bridges.

New York city is adopting new policy in
the treatment Of her insane. The asylums
on Wards, Blackwell's and Harris Islands
have been for some time overcrowded; and
the city has now constructed at Centre Islip,
Long Island, a group of .one-story cottage
buildings upon the system In use at the AIT
Sherbitz Asylum, in Saxony The chief
feature Of the scheme is to separate the
patients into small groups of less than fifty
persons. according to their condition and
capacity for work, each group having its own
houses, its own gardens and farm. The re-
suit upon the patients is said to be uniformly
excellent. 1t is possible to give them pleas
ant outdoor work every fine day, and the
farm produce raised goes far towards defray-
ing expenses. There is certainly one other
advantage in such system. A contagious
disease like diphtheria, which now prevails
at our own hospital at Augusta, would be
routed much more easily and cheaply. There
seems no reason to doubt that tho manage
ment of the Augusta asylum is in
all respects faithful and efficient. DR..
Sanborn has high reputation, aud
those under him are capable and areful.
But he has crowded together under
his.care large population, greater than
that OF many Maine villages, -exsting under
conditions that make it possible for the dis
ease to intrench itself in spite of all that
skill and experience can do. The fault is in
the system. Maine cannot, perhaps, embark
on any radically new system such as New
York city is trying; but instead of continu-
ing additions to the already overcrowded
establishment o new institution might be
erected in some accessible locality like Ban
gor. The Maine Legislature will undoubt-
eddy consider this question this winter

The President has condescended in his
messageto give Congress some information
as to the state of the Nation. Inasmueh as
he has not done this before In an annual
message for two years, perhaps we ought to
overlook the fact that some of this informa-
ton isn't correct. The message glitters with
nuggets of untruth like these:
We discover that the fortunes realized by our
manufacturers are no longer the reward OF sturdy
Industry and enlightened foresight, but that they
result from the discriminating favor of the gov
eminent, ana are largely built upon undue exac-
lions from the masses of our people.
