A correspondent OF the Dillon Tribune
of le.ont d tte, asks some pertinent ques-
ton, as follows:
I'VE hear a great deal of blowing about
what Maginnis has done in congress for
Montana. It is all boeh. During most
Of Mr. Maginnis' gressional career
the government has been under the CON
troll of the republican party, and If we
had had q republican delegate II con-
gress, working in harmony with the adj
ministration, to-day Montana would be
far better off from y liberal bestowalRof
Federal favors. Where has the mighty
Maginnis infiuencein congress benefited
southwestern Montana? Is there % denn-
ocrat in Beaverhead or Madison counties
who can point out Il single 'Maginnis'
appropriation for this part OF the terri
tory? There has not been one. On the
contrary, the mail services have been
cut down in both counties, and while
the people prott sted against the cutting

THE COMMERCIAL FUTURE OF
BENTON.

Situated as Benton is, at the head Of
navigation on the great Missouri river,
having the largest area OF good agricul-
tural land OF any town in Montana, ~
ing on all sides OF her; with the Belt
mountains to the south, teenning with
their rich veins OF the precious metals,
and their slopes covered with heavy for
est of pine and fir; the equally rich Moe
casin and Judith mountains TO the
southeast; the undeveloped Bear Paw
and Little Rockies to the east. and to
the west at the head of the Teton and
Marias, q hundred miles in length of
the main range of the Rocky mountains
waiting for the prospector to open upthe
stores of mineral wealth, which have
heretofore been closely guarded by the
willy Blackfeet; with an abundance of
the best quality of coal within a few
miles, 1t does not need a prophet to fore
tell that Benton in a few short years,
when she shall be supplied with the
proper railroad facilities, will become
the commercial metropolis OF all the
northwest.
Heavy freights from st. Louis have
been laid down here at Sl.40 per humid
red, and with railroad competition still
lower lates will be given her merchants.
That our rich merchants, who have
thousands at their command, fully APP
preciate the advantages Of the town,
one need only to look at the mammoth
brick blocks which they have erected
here, to accommodate their rapidly
growing business.
The wholesale trade must In the near
future all concentrate here, and the great
houses are now giving ~'.jobbing priees''
to outside dealers.

Republican Gain IN Virginia,

WHEELING, w. Va, Oct. 10.-The
West Virginia district elected Golf, re-
publican, to congress by from three to
five hundred majority. The same oun-
ties in 1880 gave Hancock, for president,
l,484 majority. The republican gain is
probably 1000. The tariff was one ofthe
principal issues, although both candi-
dates were committed to protection.

NR. Muh-H Y'S CARD.

Patrick Murphy publishes the follow
ing remarkable card in the Record last
evening:
Concerning the addition to the tow n
site OF Fort Benton and the recent dis
! custom about it. [ wish to distinctly
state, that / am the tool of nobody, and
| will not allow myself to be made one.
SO far as the addition is concerned, / ann
simply conlending Tor my just and legal
| rights, and [ have never made amy conn
promise with the probate judge OF this
| county in the matter, nor have / ever
Intentionally SO expressed myself. In
| speaking Of the recent legal proceedings
| in the United States land office &C Hell
| ena, to which I Was q party, l have
simply meant to convey the idea that
the litigation there was settled. ! am
satisfied that I can establish the business
of my claim to the land ON which every
resident of Fort Benton knows / have
lived for the last four Or five years. |
have nothing more to say OF the subject
and do not desire to have my name
mixed up in q newspaper controversy
The bill as passed by congress gave to
the town OF Fort Benton that portion Of
the reservation claimed by Mr.. Murphy,
and nobody will claim that there was
any exception made in favor of the
latter gentleman or that Mr.. Murphy
has any legal title to the land he GLAZING.
The plat was also entered at Il G Helena
land office without exception, and the
public would like to know wherein
comes MI. Murphy's right to the land or
in what way any possible agreement
could have been made in his interest,
unless it was with the probate judge,
and of course everybody knows he has
no right to make 8 compromise.
Mr.. Murphy came back from Helena
fully assured that he would hold his
fiity-two acres, more or less. Of this re-
suit he had the fullest assurance, and on
his arrival was in the best possible
humor over the result of his trip to the
capital, where be had accomplished all
that he went for.
Now, the bill passed by congress gave
him no right or title to the land more
than any other citizen; in fact, it denied
him amy such exclusive right. The land
office at Helena gave him nc such right
or any claim whatever to the land; in
deed, we are crediLly informed the
case never came before the land office,
although it probably would if a certain
telegram from Benton had not been re-
ceived.
Then the question arises, who gave
Mr.. Murphy and his supporters the as
surance that he would be protected in his
alleged right to ifty-tWo acres, @ or
less? Echo answers, who? It looks very
much as if there were q niger in this
reservation wood pile.
The RIVER PRESS has no fight to
make on Mr.. Murphy. II he has a legal
right to the land in question we hope TO
see him hold it: if he has not a legal
right no ''compromises' VIII help him
out, and in justice should not.

Gar NOTES.
An Error Corrected.

An annoying mistake occurred in Gap
Items" in both the daily aud weekly In
TELILGENCEI, on Wednesday last concern
ing the contractorship Of reducing the Gap
grade. John Grant has the contract OF
reducing the grade west of this place,
instead of the "cut" as was stated,
and Keller has nothing to do with the
grading. The company intend to reduce
the grade of the ''cut" itself, as contract
ols are afraid to undertake the job on
account of the quicksands.
On Tuesday afternoon a number of
workmcn with nine carts and horses ar
rived at the Gap, and on Wednesday they
commenced the work of grading the rail-
road opposite the station on the north
side Of the track westward. More men
are expected in few days.
