A Pointed Rebuke.


The Benton Record is trying he very il
liberal policy of belittling the advantages
OF the Yellowstone as highw ay to Mon-
tana. The Record will not aike many
friends by pursuing this course, nor does it
advance any sound reason for Going so. Its
detractions are the mere twa idle of Sec
tional opposition, which will a vail nothing
Of benefit to the section VIII .ch it repre-
sents. The feasibility Of the Yellowstone
route is too well established to be abandon
ed at the outcry of an opposition point. and
our contemporary had better contine his eff
forts to build up the country at the head
of tie Muddy to the legitimate method OF
setting forth its advantages, instead of de-
crying the capabilities of other parts of the
Territory which enjoy at least equal, ifnot
superior facilities. Saskatchewan.

difficulty, however, it is believed, can be
overcome, and experiments are being made
with this object in view. One line in town

BY way of Newport, and gathered
from representatives of the Randolph

recent tisticuff between Postmaster Gen
eral Key and the Congressman from this
district b." Mahoney was mail agent on
the Morristown branch road. Randolph
desired the appointment of Trent, Of
MOrristown Key told him he could
not then appoint him, but would do so
as soon as vacancy occurred. Subse-
quently, Mahoney resigned or was dis
placed-we don't know which-where
upon Randolph proceeded to the office
of the Postmaster General and claimed
the appointment of Trent. Key re-
marked that he could not appoint Trent,
because he had already given the place
10 E. o. Tate. Randolph, with much
excitement, remarked: why, you prom
ised me the place should be given to
Trent Key: made no such promise
sir Randolph (very excitedly): say
you did, SIR Key lquite angrily): Then

dealt the Postmaster General a blow.

combat would have continued but for
