We had been led to believe by our es-
teemed contemporaries, the Bangor Com
mercial and the Eastern Argus, that I'M
der the quasi-license system which pre-
walls in Bangor immoderate drinking
was almost unknown. We had inferred
from the philosophical disquisitions of
these contemporaries that when rum was
practically free men rarely became in
toxicated, that it was chiefly when men
had to send to Massachusetts to get
liquors by the bottle full that they got
drunk. 1t was therefore with consider
able surprise that we read in the Bangor
Commercial of Monday this extract from
an address by Father McSweeney, a
Catholic priest of that city, to his parish
toner's, describing the scenes on the
streets in Bangor on election day:
ANYBODY who was on the street on election
day could not help noticing the great number of
men who were more or less under the influence
of liquor, and / venture to say there was more
drunkenness visible on our streets on that day
than in the city of Boston, with its 400, 900 In
habitants. If this is so there is something
wrong with Bangor-something wrong with
Why, on Monday last scores of men could be
seen maudlin drunk, reeling about the streets.
What an example is this for our children, and
how degrading to manhood! Where is the in
dependence, the manhood. the Christian spirit
of these men? All sacrificed for glass OF
liquor! Have they no pride, to sell themselves
and at such price?
This is no Laughing or iocose matter to see
the dignity of citizenship and manhood lowered
in such a manner. No candidate, no position or
office is of Importance enough to sacrifice your
character and manhood for in this and he
who asks or induces you to do it is unworthy of
your support. 1t is the duty of every Christian
man to frown on this practice and discourage it
rather than to aid and encourage it.
What curse is this drinking habit anyway,
and what misery and sin it entails. How many
bright young lives, full OF nope, ambltlon and
Yet this evil practice strikes right at the young
man and opens the way to greater evils.
Portland had an election recently-a
very exciting election, too, and the VIC
torious party celebrated with great en-
thusiasm in the evening. Yet there were
no such scenes as those described by
Father McSweeney of Bangor. The
streets were quiet and orderly, there
were very few arrests for drunkenness or
anything else. Yet-if the beautiful the
cries of our esteemed contemporaries are
correct Portland's streets should have
reeled with drunken men, for here the
liquor shops are shut, and men have to
buy liquor by the bottle and demijohn in
Massachusetts, while Bangor's streets
should have been quiet and orderly, for
their rum is free, and man is not
tempted to make a hog of himself when
rum is free, say those contemporaries.

w. E. Borah. the brightest young
attorney in the State and the favorite
of the Republican party as its candi
date for AttorneyGeneral, has re-
fused to accept nomination for the
reason set forth below, in commu.
nication addressed to the Boise States
man:
In view of the fact that my name
has been kindly mentioned by you in
connection with the Attorney Gener-
alship, | desire to relieve my candi-
dacy of all doubt. | will not be a
candidate; neither will my name be
before the Moscow convention. An
office SO high in the public trust Is
calculated to excite the ambitions of
any gentleman who feels a pride in
his profession, and | have at times
felt that would like to be a candi-
VH'c, ou' aS tiio ooiS@ituttoh PiONiueS
for an eligible age for that Office, l
certainly cannot afford to prevaricate
in order to make myself eligible, and
am not, therefore, eligible to the of
fee. | can only say, In thanking
those who have so favorably mention
ed my name in that connection, that
if you will, in selecting gentleman
for that position, select man who
will not prostitute both his profession
and place for private gain, compro-
mise his party and bring into disre-
pute her principles for personal ends,
Insult the sense of an honest people
by shameless disregard for the ad-
monitions of public trust, | will feel
just as kindly toward you as thous b
you had given to me that great hon
or.
The success of our party in this
State depends upon the action of the
Moscow convention. The principles
of the Republican party are yet in
harmony with the resistess ideas OF
the times, but the time has passed
when you can place all unconscious
Bile officer on a platform of such prin-
ciples and make the American voter
believe that he must support his par
ty. They ask for men of high per-
sonal character, for men who will act
IN obedience to their pledges as well
as for principle, and this they will
have.

T. J. Kennedy, Michael Corcoran,
Jas. Mccarthy and Cornelius Leehan
came over from Granite Creek last
Saturday with $4,000 in gold dust.
Mr.. Kennedy was informed a few
days ago by Mr.. Brown, one of the
men interested in the big mill and
cyanide works to be put up a mile
below Placerville, that work, which
was stopped a short time agp, would
be resumed inside of two weeks. Mr..
Kennedy is member of the placer
mining company of Fall creek, trib-
utary of Granite creek. He called
on the World and the scribe pro-
ceeded to interview him and learned
that the company of which he is a
member, known as Coreoran & Co,
this season cleared $4,000. Work
| will be resumed soon on lighter
ground and will be continued until
winter. 1t is safe to say that few
| thousand more will be taken out be-
fore snow flies. THIS company has
ground enough to last for fifty years
or more with work carried on each
season on the same scale as for sew
eral years past. They have reser-
voir large enough to hold body of
water that will furnish head of 20O
inches for twelve hours. 1t will be
made still larger this fall All the
placer claims of that section have this
season yielded above the average.
The owners of the Ranch claim and
the Ditch company have done better
this season than they have for many
years. These properties are owned
by Leary & Co. They constructed a
large reservoir last fall that will hold
twice as much wat as their old one.
They are now enlarging this one, and
also the old one, and will continue
mining operations until snow falls.
All the companies on Granite and
Fall creeks have ground enough to
last for from fifty to seventy i've
years. All have good hydraulic pow
er and are preparing for longer runs
by constructing larger reservoirs
Corcoran & Co. secured nugget this
season weighing sl2 and showing a
little quartz, and another pure nugget
weighing s5, besides numerous other:
ranging from 25 cts. to IS each. The
sl2 nugget is the largest obtained fol-
seven years.
