The city was very quiet last evening,
considering that yesterday was election
day, and that great crowds were on the
streets until a late hour at night awaiting
the returns. The policemen had therefore
very little to do. Before his honor the
mayor this morning, there were only
three cases hard. OF these, two were
drunk and disOrderly, and were dischar.
ged on the payment Of the usual penalty.
The other was a poor fellow who was sick
and sought lodgings. He was sent to the
hospital this morning.

Malicious Mischief.

Last night some unknown person threw
a brick through the large front window of
the store of John Mooney. dealer in gents
furnishing goods in Mount Joy. crushing
the glass and making Il hole big enough
for man to crawl through. Whether
the act was committed in mere wantOn-
ness, or for the purpose of stealing goods
from the store, is not known. No goods
were stolen, so far as Mr.. Mooney

The Election in Lancaster.

In this city there is nothing part leu
larly surprising in the result. Mr.
Baily has small plurality, although
Wolfe pOlled 263 votes, of which most
of course, came from the Republican
side, albeit the odd 63 are as likely as moi
to have been cast by Democrats, from
all we can learn. The vote was light,
being scarcely twO-thirds of full poll
In such a light turnout no result can
have any significance, and it will be re-
membered that in 1879, at a similar elec.
ton, the Republicans carried the city by
nearly 800, while at the following mu-
nlcipal election, three months later, the
Democrats swept the town by over 500
majority, although the Republican nom.
inee for mayor was heartily supported
by both Republican daily newspapers
and recommended for election by hun
dreds of the leading citizens of his party.
General apathy prevailed to such an ex-
tent yesterday that it was only ques-
tion of which party would more
generally stay at home the Re
publicans, having the advantage
of the inside wards, improved it to get
their vote out with more facility than
the Democracy, especially in the Second
ward, where their" best workers" were
busy and efficient. In the city generally
a great many Democrats were away
from town and thought it scarcely worth
while to come home to vote in y an off
year." and in the Seventh and Eighth
wards, Democratic strongholds, the bad
weather and prevailing Indifference pre-
vented a large poll. The Democracy of
the Ninth fairly carry off the honors by

Philadelphia Press.
The following notice WIS yesterday post
cd in tho Press Office.
Information has been received that
persons having no connection with the
Press. in ccllnsiOn with some persons en-
p!oyed in the composing room, are pre-
pairing to make, ut IN early day and with
ont notice, uniastiiiable demands, which,
unless instantly complied with, would he

the prompt publication Of the paper. In
view of this, and in order to exercise con-
troll of their own business, the proprictOrs
of the Press take Immediate charge Of the
composing room. The compositors will
receive their usual weekly pay in the
counting room after four o'clock.
''The proprictors of the Press will also on

notice.
CompositO"s who have been connected
with the Office. and who wish to remain.
under the rules which will be established
can make application at the counting
roOm.' {?
This action was brought about by the
fact that information, the truth of which
was demonstrated, was received, to the
effect that to-day, at midnight, the Press
proprietors would be presented with y
contract, employing the printers in the
composing room for one year, and the al
ternat:vc of either signing it or at once
being deprived of the services OF their en-
ployees. No removal of the Press printers
had been contemplated, but knowledge
of the fact that members OF the
Typographical union proposed interfering
with the publication Of the paper on cleo
tion night forced the employment of non
u;non printers, who were at once brought
int" the Office, although the removed men
were granted an opportunity to return to
their cases under the rules which will be
established. Those who may not wish to
return will he paid one week s salary with

the Fifth the Republican majority is
fiercely cut down, largely by the aid of
Wolfe Republicans. These are the most
notable features of the result, which, as
we have said, on the whole, is significant
of nothing except that the lighter the
vote the more uncertainand insignificant
is the outcome.

Moro Treasury Scandals.

The investigation Of the Evans Kinds
scandal in the sixth auditors office, some
details of which have been published, has
been taken up at the treasury department..
The high connection of Miss Kinds and
the hitherto respectable character OF Major
Edward J. Evans have made the examiI,a
ton of . private nature. Its known, how
ever, that John +. Reesidc, treasury en-.
ployyee, testified under oath that
money was paid Major Evans for
furnishing outside attorneys = list
of balances due postmasters, upon
which list claims were filed against the
government. Major Manton, claim
agent, paid the money. 1t is claimed
that his list of balances is in the hand
writing of Evans and was gotten UP with
the understanding that the attorney fees
should bc paid to Manton and that Evans
was to have one half. In the woman
scrape J. J. Boyd testified as has been al
ready reported relative to the use of Evans
room. In addition it was stated that on
last Thursday when Miss Kinds came to
work every lady in the room got up, put
Oh her things and went home. They re-
fused to remain in the same room with
her. 1t is also in evidence that Tyner
took his sister in law to Europe, where
they were absent two or three months.
Her name was borne on the rolls and she
received pay all the time, the same as
those who worked.

IN some wards of the city yesterday
some Democrats, from whom at least a
better example might have been expect
ed, fell short Of their duty. Notably the
Democratic street commissioner failed to
vote and the representative delegate
from this city to the Democratic state
convention-who supported Mr.. Noble
there from the first-failed to put in an
appearance at the polls at I'LL and lend
his support to the Democratic nominee.
Gentlemen who have been recipients of
the party's favor owe it different sort
of treatment from this. Likely their
votes would not have changed the re-
suit, but they can have no share in the
credit of victory and must take large
slice of the responsibility for defeat.

as in many OF the States. the small pox is
raging with terrible effect, and we hope that
no portion Of our Territory will be subject
to such q disastrous visitation.
In view of the proximity of the disease it
might be IN order for the people Of Benton
to prepare for any possible emergency. Vac
cination is protective to q certain extent, and
we would advise our readers to resort to this
safeguard. It is considered safer to vaccinate
every seven years, and those who have not
undergone the ordeal in that time should sub
nit to it again as a matter Of greater safety.
We hope, however, there will be no cause
for apprehension in this vicinity, but it is
well in time Of peace to prepare for war
especially when the enemy is known to be on
the war-path.

THE fact is becoming more evident every
day that the next few years will be years Of
growth and prosperity for Benton. AS the
resources Of the country surrounding are
developed Benton will also develop. Situa-
ted in the center Of q section unexcelled in
its mineral and agricultural resources un-
surpassed as Q stock country with q pleas
ant and salubrious climate and all the nat
ural advantages that could be wished-it is
not possible that such q town, in this era of
progression in the New Northwest, will fail
to keep abreast Of the times. But there are
other considerations that insure Benton's
growth. The location, at the head Of naVi-
cation on one Of the most important rivers
Of the country, gives her an advantage over
all other towns Of Montana. Although not
among the first places Of the Territory to re-
ceiVe the benefits of the railroads, it will not
be long until Benton is the principal railroad
center in the Northwest, and as a natural re-
suit the first commercial city Of that section.
The Utah g Northern and Northern Pacific
roads are certain to be extended this far ; the
st. Paul & Manitoba will not be far behind,
if its trains are not the first in the River Me-
tropolis a line from the Yellowstone to
Benton, to be continued North into the
British Possessions, is s%urety--and not many
years will elapse until these several lines and
others not yet thought Of will be constructed.
Benton will not only be the head Of nayiga-
ton on the river, but an important railroad
center and the chief distributing point Of the
Northwest. This may seem like coloring
the picture too highly, but ten years will
prove that it is not. But we are by no means
alone in ascTibing q brilliant future to Ben
ton. The various parties, non-residents, who
are so anxious to secure real estate here,
must take the same view. During the past
week one Of our land agents received letters
from Helena and Virginia City parties, in
structing him to reserve them some choice
lots, without regard to price, and in the past
few weeks several thousand dollars worth of
town lots haYe been disposed of to citizens
Of the Capital. This is one of tho signs Of
the times that plainly point to the certain
and rapid growth Of oar town.

OUR stock men are much better prepared
to meet the winter that is near at hand than
they have ever been before, and no matter
what is its character the losses are not likely
to be so great. Most of the stock men are
abundantly supplied with hay, and many
with shelter for their stock. La the event Of
q months very severe weather they can feed
and thus protect themselves against loss.
This is particularly true Of the wool growers,
all of whom have learned a valuable lesson
from last winters experience. Whether the
winter is mild or severe there is no probabil-
ity that the general loss Of sheep in the Ter
ritory will be one-tenth as great as last year.
The time is also coming when orr cattle
kings will have fewer head of stock, limited
ranges, and will give personal attention to
their bands throughout the year. Until then
the success Of cattle raising will depend in
some measure upon the character of the win
ters. The element Of certainty can not be
introduced into the business under the present
system. 1t is true last winter was an ex-
ception and its like may not, and probably
will not, be witnessed for many years. If the
season is as favorable as ordinary the stock
men of Montana will reap a rich reward.
With this assurance before US we sincerely
hope the predictions of the weather prophets
that the winter is to be q mild one-may
be fulfilled to the very letter. -
