Prohibi ton and High License.

To the Editor of the Press:
CAPE ELIZABETH, Aug. Goth, 1S92-In
ordinary business, the thing which oper-
ates most to close up small concerns
where little money is invested, is the
competition arising from small estab-
lishments in the same trade. In the rum
business, the most important factor in
closing out small dealers is the penalty
attaching to the sale of liquors and con-
viction for the same.
Keeping in mind the two things, COM
petition and penalty, most instrument
tai in keeping people out of business,
let lis see what effect they would have
under high license. Men who argue
that high license will decrease the sale
of liquor in Portland, are saying that
small dealers cannot afford the license
and will therefore close up and go out of
business. The same men, however, say
that people who drink will have the liq-
uor, no matter where they find it, and
are sure to find it somewhere. Explain
ing the benefits of high license, their point
is,this: that the men who are now obliged
to patronize disreputable. dirty rum
holes, will then have a chance to step
into a respectable saloon. and get good
liquor without putting their manhood
to shame or poisining their system with
such vile stuff as they have to put up
with now.
Suppose, then, that respectable
saloons, respectable on account of their
dazzle, and brilliancy and openness, as
opposed to dirt. darkness and secrecy
granted that respectable saloons of this
sort will give better quality of liquor,
will they have the effect of closing up
the small shops by drawing their trade
away from them, will such establish
ments on big scale decrease the sale OF
liquor by competition with the small
shops?
In the first place, what is the ordinary
conception of what competition accom-
plishes? Not contracted sale, by any
| means, but lower prices. And does
competition in the sale of liquor bring
about lower prices, at least in the retail
| trade? If glass of beer costs less in
Boston than the same glass of beer costs
here in Portland, then the result is truly
| the result Of competition, But does it!
viii high license make glass of beer
| in Portland cost lessthan it does now?If il
does not, in that respect. SO far as the

CONCERNING WALTER ROUNDS.

The Argus and Col. Bradbury have de-
clined to furnish evidence of the open
sale OF liquor in this city on the ground
that it would make them offensive in
formers. But on Friday the Argus pro-
duced man signing himself Walter
Rounds, who thinks if Sheriff Cram S
offer is extended to him he can produce
evidence to convict about fifty rumsel-
lcrs. Mr.. Rounds does not give his place
OF residence, SO it is difficult to deter
mine absolutely who he is. There is lit
tie doubt, however, that he is Mr.. Wal
ter Rounds of Scarboro, inasmuch as this
Mr.. Rounds was at the sheriff's Office the
other day, announcing that he was work
ing for SWEET, and had been up at Bald

competition argument is concerned. hlgh
license viii be a failure.
But. they say, we do not pretend that
competition closes up these rum holes,
the failure to afford license necessary
to open them. Let us consider penalty
| in this connection. Now, the common
conception of a penalty is, a punishment
| inflicted by law for it's violation. A man
who violates the law, always endeavors
to elude detection, and why? to escape
| the penalty attaching, thereto. A liquor
dealer will fight his case desperately
| through the courts. and why? 10 escape
the penalty that would accompany his
conviction. Then there is penalty at
tached to liquor selling, Q, yes, we have
liquor law and a penalty for him VINO
violates the law and is convicted thereof
But liquor is sold, nevertheless. Perhaps
then, the penalty is not heavy enough.
| The fact is, a certain class OF men are
found always who will supply the &C.
mand for rum for the sake of profit,
penalty or no penalty; but the heavier
| the penalty the less the number OF those
| who will venture into the selling of the
| stuff. That is common experience.
! If the argument as to penalty has any
thing in it, the penalty under license
must be larger than under prohibition,
| in order to close out unlicensed liquor
dealers. And what assurance have we
that it will be even so large as it is now,
much less being greater.
So a penalty will not close out these
small shops that will not be able to af-
ford license, unless it is much larger
than our present law affords, for an OBJ
vious reason. What, then, will do the
work? Only rigid enforcement OF the
prohibitory law as it now stands on our
statutes, - a rigid, ceaseless, watchful
and impartial enforcement.

The most disquieting feature of the
cholera epidemic is the apparent slow
ness of the Canadian authorities in get
ting quarantine arrangements under way.
Montreal is great port for ocean steam
ers, and it's railway connection with
American cities is very close. Portland
is one of the cities that has direct, daily
communication with Montreal. While
the front door is SO carefully guarded or
the Atlantic seaboard, there is danger al
the back door. 1t was thus that the
cholera came into the United States il
1882. 1t came to Quebec by ship, and
travelled into the United States via Lake
Champlain.

HORTICULTURAL COMMISSIONERS,
Spraying for Fruit Tree Results
that Promise Well-A Visit
of Inspection,

The spraying of fruit orchards continues
and the good work is becoming generally
popular. Those owners OF small gardens
and orchards who do not care to 20 to
the expense of purchasing an outfit can,
by making casual inquiry, either borrow
their neighbours spraying apparatus or
employ some one of the professional
gardeners to do their spraying for them
at small cost.
Even thus early the good effects OF
spraying is shown, and such orchardists as
J. l.. Marsh, Arthur Boyle, Grant Riven.
burg, DR.. Andrews, Trinidad Alarid J. L,
johnson, Judge Morrison and Postmaster
Weltmer, feel particularly well pleased
over results of literally using the spray.
In fact, the success thus far attained
ought to cause both the use of London
purple and the kerosene emulsion to come
into general use. Careful experiments
elsewhere show that by spraying orchards
are made to produce from so to So per
cent OF tirst-class, salable fruit, whereas
when this duty is neglected the revenues
from the orchard amount to little OF
nothing, in many instances scarcely &c
per cent Of the fruit being free from in.
sects.
This we'll attested fact ought of itselI
be sufficient to encourage every orchard
list to attend to this timely duty. 1t is
money in his own pocket.
The law authorizes the county hor
ticultural commissioners to force every
fruit-grower to destroy any injurious in
sects on his premises. If need be, the
commissioners are empowered, where
persons fail in this duty, to hire the work
of spraying done, and the law makes the
cost Of same bona fide lien upon the
premises until paid. AS yet the commits
sioners have not felt called upon to 90 tc
the full limit of the law in the exercise o
their duties, and they feel greatly encour
aged that the orchardis.s have 80 prompt
ly taken up this work. The commission
ers, will, however, at al. early day, pay {
visit Of inspection to every orchard anC
garden In the city and they hope to fine
that the law regarding the destruction O
injurious insects has been generally com
piled with.

District Court,

In the district court this forenoon a
number of minor appeal cases from the
justice OF the peace courts we're disposed
of. The now celebrated case of the Ter
ritory vs. ex.Sheriff Chavez and his bonds
men was continued till next term. Moth
ing can he done with this case until an
administrator of the dead ex sherff's
estate is appointed by the probate court.
The continuance was granted on motion
of the defense, the territory, through
Solicitor General Bartlett consenting
thereto.
A number OF indictments have thus far
been found by the grand jury, but no re-.
turns on the warrants have as yet been
made by the sheriff.
In the absence of District Attorney
Twitchell, the work of the territorial
grand jury is being looked after by Solicit
tor General Bartlett. 1t seems to be a
very busy body, too.
