The Benton record. [volume] (Benton, M.T. [Mont.]) 1875-1879, 1875-10-02

During the next session Of Con
gress, more than at any other time
within the history Of our Territory,
we shall have need Of an able and
conscientious advocate. The vast
mineral, agricultural, and pastoral
resources Of our country can never
be properly developed, until the
Missouri river is made available
for the purposes which nature evi-
IDENTIFY intended 1.-THE great ayen-
ue for exporting our surplus gold,
silver, and other productions the
true channel for importing Eastern
merchandise, and the cheap high
way for immigration. This is q
matter which concerns the whole
Territory, and no local interest
should be allowed to interfere with
it. To procure an appropriation
for the Improvement Of the river
will be the first and most impor-
tant duty of our Delegate at the
approaching session Of Congress.
There are other matters which
also demand his attention, and in
which al our people are interested.
The Canadian Government has on
several occasions during the past
and present year interfered with
the rights and privileges OF Ameri-
can citizens residing in Montana.
But the Canadians are not perhaps
SO much to blame In the matter as
our own Government, who has
failed in these instances to main.
tain the rights Of its people, and
afford them redress when wronged
duties which it is needless to say
every Government owes to its sub
iects. II these facts are properly
represented at Washington, our
cousins across the. line will soon
cease to arrest our citizens for I'M
aginary offences and convict them
upon manufactured or purchased
evidence but if not, the abuses
may continue until they result n
the most disastrous consequences.
The Indian question is a subject
which concerns the welfare and
prosperity Of our Territory, and
should consequently receive the at
tention it deserves from our Dele
gate. We require more troops te
prevent the Indians from murder
ing peaceably disposed residents
and intimidating those who desire
to settle among Us. On all Of these
subjects the people Of Montana
have a right to expect that Majol
Maginnis will at least make al
earnest effort to procure favorable

Il THRILLING MIST.IkE.

Very painful is the situation OF a Ger
tain clerk III Il grocery store near the
town Of Stamford, Kentucky. He was
standing behind the counter but a few
mornings ago, shifting pleasantly the
odor OF dried herrings and kerosene and
cheese which hung about him and wait
ing for a customer, when there ran III, i'll
Il great hurry, a young lady from a house
near by. She had forgotten the flour
needed for some dish in course OF prepa-
ration and mad come in haste to the store
to get it, taking ont of a bureau drawer
and bringing over what she supposed to
be Il clean FELLOWSHIP to serve as Il bag.
The obliging clerk seized the FELLOWSHIP
III one hand and the scoop i'll the other
and dipping from the flour barrel Il
scoop,fuI began filling the bag, The
first scoop-full went not only in but
through the receptacle, aud the aston
ished clerk held up the FELLOWSHIP to see
that it consisted of two parts with fringed
outlets nj the bottom, through which the
flour had gone to the floor. The girl saw
the thing at the same time, and with a
shrek, but without a word, ran home.
The grocery-store clerk carefully dustod
the garments and laidthcm away to be re-
turned when called for, but they haven't
been called for yet. And SO, because Of
a ~carclessness not his own, that unfor-
tunate clerk is i'll Il painful situation, and
the store in which he is employed has
lost Il customer. It WAS a dreadful
affair.
