The Cost of If.

despatch from Bangor to the Lewiston
journal sets forth this remarkable financial
aspect of the rum question in Penobscot
county:
A chat with our County Commissioners disclos s
what may seem astonishing to some una Acquainted
with The amount and effect of the um traffic in
inns county. 1t seems that the cost to the county
from this one cause alone, composed of costs ri
courts and board OF prisoners committed for
drlnkenness, etc., amounts to the snug little sum
OF $4,000 per year, or $1,000 per quarter, and
OF ms the city OF Bangor furnishes flve-seyenths
Bangor's total population in $50 was only 49,
co. ana Ine lois at that time were 1888 hat
for every person IN Bangor each year. and So 20
ior eacn poll therein,fo what may justly be called
creased some since 1880, the ratio would dimSn.
ish correspondingly, but the fact that the tne
large city N The county, containing less than
Iouilh OF Inc population, should cause 6ye-sey-
enths of the real rum tax is whole temperance
lesson Of itself $4,000 in cold cash could be
fines from this city Alone each criminal term Of
the court BY enforcing the prohibitory laws, and
TINS sum, $4,000 in all, would just about pay her
yearly expense to the Taxpayers of this county.
Several years ago Colonel Jerrard was
sheriff of Penobscot county, ana he gave
Bangor an enforcement of the prohibitory
law that is yet wildly remembered in that
city. Col. Jerrard shut up the rum shops
and punished the rum sellers, but the costs
OF this administration, as has been frequent
ly represented since, were so heavy on the
county that the Jerrard administration be-
came too unpopular to be continued. The
Lewiston's Journals correspondent has now
figured out that it is also very expensive to
let the law 60 unenforced. This IL correct
ought to eliminate the element Of expense
from the question. This cause of prejudice
removed, many cautious citizens who have
not wanted to enforce the law for fear of ex-
pense to the county similar to those If Jer-
rard's time, ought to be enabled now to
come out hat-footed for enforcement, prohi-
bition and cold water.

The above is good sample of the stuff
the Democratic organs of Virginia are serv-
Ing up to their constituents. The purpose of
1t, of course, is to array the two races In the
State against each other, and intensity the
color line. Whenever a Northern kepubli-
can refers to the war he is accused by the
Democracy of waving "the bloody shirt"
for the purpose of exciting sectional hostli-
ty and vigorously rebuked in consequence,
but we fail to find the fteblest disap-
proval on their part of this effort to excite
race prejudice in Virginia.

1t is unfortunate for the people of Mon
tana that its legislature is close, for with
TWO United States senatorships at stake
there is sure to be sharp fight for control
and, nnless the Montana Democrats are
different from their brethren in the older
States. there is certain to be some monkey
lug" Monkeying, however, will hardly
pay inasmuch as the United States Senate is
the final judge Of the qualifications of its
own members, and nobody from Montana
whose title is tainted with fraud is likely to
get a seat there.

at never rains but it pours," is a trite
saying, and aptly illustrates the much
or nothing character, SO TO speak, of the
tin tidings vouchsafed by the London
and eastern press. 1t is gratifying, es.
pecially so at this time, after the painful
delays, and poignant suspense we have
experienced to receive unqualified con
firmation Of the reported intention OF
a strong syndicate, lone Of the strongest
in the world to inaugurate early and
extensive tin operations in the Black
Hills. The long period of deferred hope
and Respondent gloom, which must
ever result from prolonged and repeated
disappointments in the realization of
our most ardent expectations, is now
rapidly approaching its close, and the
faint, but unmistakable giimmer of the
sun light of coming prosperity is already
apparent. The tin news contained in
the present issue Of the CuRoNICLE is by
far the most important to Custer, the
future Tin City, that ever met the eye
of u readers, and it is with the most
profound satisfaction we herewith pre-
sent it, hoping and believing with them
that the good times, SO long looked for
in the Pioneer City Of the Black Hills,
are almost here.

A Golden Prospect.

II. b. Swain, Of Marquette, Michigan,
who will be remembered by our local
readers as having visited this place
several weeks since for the purpose of
examining the gold properties in this
vicinity, and who spent considerable
time in selecting samples therefrom for
the purpose of making a thorough test
of their merits, with a view to interest
ing eastern capitalists in their develop
ment, was an arrival at the Vienna on
Tuesday. Mr.. $. was accompanied by
X. b. Moss, an eminent mining engineer
and expert of New York City, and p. f..
Barnard, a practical assayer Of that
place.
Mr.. Moss is an honorable representa-
tive of the Society Of Science, Letters
and Arts, ofLondon, and superintendent
of the well known Moss Engraving Com
pany of New York, which is one of the
most popular and extensive institutions
of it kind in the world, employing from
two to five hundred men. His knowl-
edge of minerals is unquestioned, OBJ
tanned through a careful and prolonged
study of their theory as given by the
most popular authorities, and extensive
practical explorations in various mining
localities in the United States and for.
eign countries, We regret our inability
to state explicitly the intentions Of Mr.,
Moss AS to future operations, as he is, in
this respect, not unlike the majority o.
mining men, who deem it wise to keer
their W counsel.
We can say, however, that options
have been secured upon the Gold Stal
mine and mill, at Four Mile, and thai
negotiations are pending for the pur
chase of the Svolder mine, an adjoining
property, and the L~oranger mill, located
at the place named. There are sub
stantial reasons for the belief that this
company mean business, and that much
benefit may result to this locality and
the Black Hills at large. by reason O.
the efforts to be put forth by Mr.. Mos,
and his company in the direction indi
Gated. Mr.. Moss will remain here about
two weeks, when he will return to the
east, leaving Mr.. Swain in charge o
operations at -Four Mile, where the
Gold Star mill was started up on Friday
on Gold Star ore, and will continue ID
operation for some time, sampling the
ores of the varions mines in that local
ity.
