Up to date the liquor war holds off in
Bangor. There have as yet been no
searches and seizures, and nobody knows
when to expect any. To be sure, that
rumor about two hundred warrants
having been issued is stin af1oat, but
rumors are very buoyant, and it's hard to
sink them. On Thursday night the rumor
got it's second wind, and was flying
around all over the town, causing dis
quiet in some places, but only smiles in
others,
On Thursday afternoon, after listening
to an address upon the oigatrete habit,
the W. G. T. u. went into secret session
and for over. an hour discussed the liquor
question behind closed doors. Reporters
were strictly barred, and when the meet
ing was over none of the members of the
Union would give as much as hint of
what had been said or done.

as his public utterances are concerned he
has maintained an attitude of imparti-

His conduct has been singularly digni-

FRAUDS IN ALABAMA.
How Elections Are Conducted in the State
of Morgan.

Washington, January 2S.-An unusu-
ally severe arraignment of alleged cleo.
ton frauds is made in the report filed
by the House. committee on elections No.
/, in the case of William Aldrich against
Thomas S. Plowman for the fourth dis
trict of Alabama.
Mr.. Plowinan is the sitting member,
but the committeezsubmtts recount Of
the vote, giving Aldrioh, Republican
and Populist. candidate, the seat
The report says in part:
eff the election laws of Alabama had
been designed to encourage fraud and
thwart the peoples will they could not
have beensin some respects more happily
framed to meet that purpose.
After eritioising the Alabama election
law as putting the honest voter at the
mercy of dishonest markers, the report
says:
When it is known that the condition
for such state OF affairs exists it Is not
strange that illiterate voters should re-
main away from the polls, in the hope
that they would at least not furnish am
munition for their political opponents.
But this made little difference to the
Democratic managers in Dallas county.
They voted the illiterate colored men,
present or absent
The machinery was simple and effec-
tive. Fortunately it has been discovered
and the details of it's operation laid
bare. Fraud is everywhere; not lurking
or secret, but bold and insolent. 1t is
chiefly of five kinds.
:. l-F'raudulently padding the poll list
with names of persons not registered
sometimes of deceased persons and some
times of persons who did not live in the
precinct.
2-Sometimes with padding the polls
with names of persons on this registra-
ton list who did not vote.
3-By imposing on the illiterate voter
by the old-fashioned methods of
falsely recording votes.
5-By refusing to hold elections at all
in certain strong Republican precincts.
After going into much detail on the
alleged frauds the committee say they
have revised the vote on the most con-
ty of $40, whereas the election of Plow-
man was claimed by 1857 plurality.

sSThe PRESS has not taken the ground
that the United States has not the legal
right to pay the bonds in silver,
so that the communication pub
Iished elsewhere on this subject con-
troverts no opinion which the PRESS
holds. We do take the ground,
however, that it would be bad policy
and bad faith to pay the bonds in silver :;
except SO long as silver is Kept
at a parity with gold. great many
things that are lawful are not expedlent.
1t is lawful for a man to avoid the pay
ment of an honest debt by awaiting him
self of the statute of limitation, but to
do it is neither honorable nor, if he Is
going to continue to have
dealings with his fellow
men, is it expedient. The United States
government might repudiate its whole
debt, and doubtless the Supreme Court
would hold that there was no way OF
compelling it to pay. But it would be a
very dishonest performance, neverthe-
less, and it would disgrace us in the eyes
of every civilized nation on earth. The
government might open the minis to the
free coinage Of silver and pay the bonds
IN the proceeds, and the bondholder
would have no redress. But with silver
at its present valuation such an act
would be dishonest and disgracefal.
But orr correspondence citation from
a decision of tie Supreme Court does not
even tend to show that if claim OF
right on the part of the government to
pay in any currency which might be law
full at the time the payment is to be made
could be submitted to the courts it would
be sustained. The decision quoted refers
to contracts between private parties
neither of whom has any power to deter
mine what money shall be lawful at any
given time. But contract between the
government and money lender is con
tract between party which has the power
to say what shall be lawful money at any
particular time and party who has no
such power. Manifestly the same rule
should not apply in this case as in the
case of parties neither of whom had
any power to determine what was law
full money. Senator Hoar showed up the
iniquity of applying this rule laid down
in the case of private contractors to
contracts to which the government is
party. The stipulation, says our corre-
spondent, was to pay in coin of the stand
ard value of July IA, 1870. Three years
later by what the silver men call crime,
the government demonetized silver and
thereby, the silver men further claim,
caused 1t to depreciate to its present low
value. And yet the silver men claim it
is perfectly right for the government to
take advantage of this crime and pay off
its debts in the deprecated dollar which
this crime has brought about. That is
to say they claim that the government
may take advantage of it's own fraud to
cheat its creditor. No court has ever
sanctioned that kind of ethics.
