Senator Snook's daughter. There is

The Planters Journal, of Vicks-
burg, issues a large advance proof
sheet, calling attention to the Worlds
Cotton Centennial Exposition, to be
held in some one of our large cities
that may offer the greatest induce
ments. This is to be held some time
in 1884, under the auspicies of the Lit
tie Re * Convention. This will in
clude an exhibit not only of cotton,
but of everything pertaining to cotton,
culture and manufacture.
New Orleans, st. Louis, Baltimore,
Cincinnati, Louisville, Richmond,
Memphis, Nashville, Charleston, Mo-
bile, Savannah, Montgomery and At

compete. 1t is proposed to raise not
less than two, aad possibly over three
millions of dollars. The city that
may be SO fortunate as to secure it,
will receive the united support of the

The Right Of Contribution.

The Argus says the PRESS has been some
thing of a "civil service reformer." 1t is not
mistaken. The PRESS always has and now
does desire the correction of all abuses in
all departments of the government. 1t
stands upon the Republican national plat
form of 1880. 1t does not, nor does the
platform, seek to forbid any man making a
contribution to any cause, religious, charita-
BILE, or political, in which he is interested.
He who is Christian and Republican has
the right, we hold, to give money in aid of
missionary work, whether that work be the
conversion of heathens to Christianity or
Democrats to Republicanism. And he has
the right to withhold his money. 1t is OPP
tional with him. If he happens to be the
sexton of his church, paid salary by the
church, he should not be debarred from con-
tributing to the support of the cause he has
at heart. Ifhe happens to be a clerk in the
Custom House, paid salary by the govern
ment, heshould not be debarred from con-
tributing to the support of the political par
ty whose success he believes necessary to the
well-being of the country. He is entitled to
the same rights as the man who is not in
paid employ of church or State. Does the
Argus deny him those rights?

Uniform Editions of Popular Au-
thorS

Hartford Courant's Boston Correspondence
How few American authors appear in uni
form editions! Looking over the last volume
of the edition of Bret Hart which Houghton,
Mif1in & Co. have just issued, am reminded
of this. We have here complete and very
convenient as we'll as handsome edition Of
Mr.. Harte's stories, poems and essays 1t is
pleasant to see them together on the library
shelves, and it is a great advantage to get at
them il this way instead of being called to
search through toward dozen volumes for
some favorite or desired piece. This is an hon
or that is not often paid an author before his
death, and Bret Hart should be thankful for
receiving it. There is no uniform edition of
Mrs. Stoves writings, though there ought to
be. The question of copyright stands in the
way Of this. She has had four different pub
fishers in Boston, and one in New York.
Miss Alcott has Jared better. She has had
practically but one publisher, and very TASTE
full one. Mr.. Howells's writings are scattered
about in diversified form. So are Henry
James's. 1t is the same with the English writ
ers. where copyright does not stand in the way
We had for wears to go to Europe to get COM
plete edition of Thackeray In presentable shape
and for long time the Harpers would neither
make one themselves nor let any one else make
it. The first uniform edition of George Eliot
was issued in Boston, and caused big quar-
rel between the Osgoods and the Harpers.
Charles Reade's novels were got together I'M
der similar circumstances. The Harpers be-
gan to publish Wilkie Collins in uniform
volumes, but have stopped-perhaps because
they think the books are not worth it. They
have done better with William Black, to
whom they give good library edition. They
ought to give one r. d. Blackmore, too,

CAMPAIGN PRESS,

For the purpose of furthering the good cause in

ers of the PRESS propose to issue their Weekly
aud Daily Editions at the following extraordinarily
low rates, barely covering the cost Of material and

whose best novels have never been published
in this country except in pamphlet form. Mr.
Henry Holt has done little better with Thorn
as Hardy's books, the pages of his editions be-
ing uniform in size though the styles of bind
ing vary. Blackmore and Hardy seem to me
to be worthy of library preservation the form
for his poetic style, picturesque manner, and
the genuine air of romance that pervades his
stories; the latter for the originality Of his
books in which there is something almost
unique. A uniform edition of Anthony Troll
lope in library would be curiosity. 1t
wyuld fill more than forty volumes of the size
of this Bret Hart edition. Trollope is the
most voluminous of nc lern writers of fictien
Tor of any others out of Spain), and he seems
in good way to double his books before he
dies. The singular thing is that he is now as
likely to write good be 1k as he ever was.
Some of his last are among his best books, and
his hest, books are very very good :, indeed ed

We ought to have uniform editions Of every
writer who is worth reading a second time, or
worth keeping for another generation of read
ers, though in the case of Trollope perhaps a
selection would be sufficient

Anxious to Know.
Mr.. Thing Called to Explain.

The Greenbackers of this district are anxious
to have Mr.. D. Fl. Thing, candidate for Con-
gress, define his position and let us know where
he stands. At the county convention held in
Gardiner, June 2Sth, 1870, when Mr.. Thing
was nominated as a candidate for Senator, he
made the statement in my presence that he
was Greenbacker and opposed to the old
Democratic party. Yet at Democratic con-
vention june 9th, 1882, D. Fl. Thing Il am
pretty sure he is the same MANI, was nominal
ed as Democratic candidate for Congress;
and what is more surprising, this same Mr..
Thing was Endorsed as Greenbacker at a
Greenback district convention held at Lewis
ton June 30, 1882 Now will MIR. Thing de-
fine his position one way or the other, and set
tie the minds of many puzzled GreenbackerS
in this district? 1t was we'll understood that
Hon. G. A. White of Gardiner was to be NOM
mated by the Greenbackers for Congress; and,
knowing this to be fact and that Mr.. White
could not be handled, some of the would-be
Democratic leaders, at their caucus in this city,
passed resolution advising Things nominal
ton at their convention. and as [ am informed
that the nomination of Mr.. Thing in place of
Mr.. White was dictated by certain party
whose name / will not mention at present, but
will let the Greenbackers know more about as
soon as Mr.. Thing defines his position If, as
stated, the nomination of Mr. Thing was die
tated in place of Mr.. White, it is time for the
Greenbackers to know all the facts and vote
accordingly. j. j. MAHER.

NEW YORK Post: The patent medicine
dealers throw some light on the ques-
ton how far the reductions in internal
taxes proposed by the Kelley Bill will
affect the customer. One of them
says that whether the abolition of the stamp
tax on their articles twill reach the people,
is doubtful The prices of medicines are
fixed by their makers, and when relieved of
the tax "they may conclude to put the sum
saved into Advertising" Another dealer
saws the measure twill not reach the peo-
pie unless the manufacturers choose to pre-
sent their patrons with the amount named, y
because "there is no special law of trade to
overn'' the prices of the articles. The
callers in cigars and cigarettes, as we said
on Monday, admit that the amount o. the
reduction on these will be divided by the
trade, while the customer will get little or
no benefit from it. Before the Senate agrees
to the Kelley bill it may secure convincing
evidence that, whatever else it may be, it is
scarcely measure for the substantial re-
lief of the tax payer.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, the Massachusetts
statistician, has written pamphlet on the
subject of the great waste of Gotten in the
South that results from the present practice
of ginning the fiber on the plantations. He
recommends the establishment Of regular
ginneries where the whole process can be
performed by the best improved machinery.
This and the disestablishment Of the grog-
geries will doubtless prove of immense
benefit in the development and husbandry
of Southern wealth.

THE Italian Machetta, who married
Blanche Roosevelt, the singer, has gone
back to Italy with his wife, having first been
careful to deposit at Washington an appli-
cation for appointment as consul at one of
the Italian cities-isn't particular which.
The usual European idea that when one of
their paupers married an American lady size
should support him was bad enough. but
Mr.. Machetta's idea that the United States
government must also take hold, is crowd
ing things.

THE Argus in its sketch of Hon. Joseph
Dane, Greenback and Democratic nominee
for Congress, says that he is President of
the Savings Bank at Kennebunk. Can our
astute and observant neighbor have failed
to notice that Mr.. Dane is President of the
National Bank at Kennebunk? These little
biographical sketches should be complete
and accurate, and the Argus will doubtless
hasten to correct the omissions. By the
way, also, according to the Maine Year
Book, Mr.. Dane is Treasurer, not Presi-
dent, of the Savings Bank. Perhaps the
Argus got confused among so many banks.

Wanted-AD Dairy.

Montana is justly credited with being
one of the greatest cattle countries in the
world, and yet the people do not seem to
be able to get enough butter and milk to
supply themselves. Butter is shipped
here from New York state, and in the
homes Of some of our cattle men is an
unknown thing. The same il true OF
milk. The hotels in some of our towns,
notably in what are known as the Cow
counties" are forced to provide condensed
milk for their guests. Here in Benton
this is particularly true. We have, or
are supposed to have, two dairies, yet
they are insufficient to supply the de-
mand. There never was a better oppor-
tunity for an enterprising dairynlan,
with some capital, than presents itself
at this point. Such i man could find 4
place to suit him not too far from town.
and by combining the raising Of poultry
and hogs, could make a fortune. We
hope this will meet the eyes of some one
who ID able and willing to fill this long
felt want, and that the present year will
be the last in which the people Qf Ben
ton will have to put up with stafes' but
ter and condensed milk. There is

Death Of w. w. Austin.

On Tuesday evening about 10 O'Clock
the subject OF this article, an old-titlle
Montanian, passed froll earth, alter q
lingering illness Of several months. His
death occurred at the Overland hotel,
where he had been during lis last sick
ness, aud the funeral took place yester-
day at z O'Clock p. II.
The deceased was about So years OF
age, and had spent the most OF hi. time
since 1859 in tie west. lie Was y native
Of Kentucky, and III SO went west AS
far lis Colorado to seek lis tortune.n
In 1860 lie returned to his native state
and enlisted in the confederate army.
The following year he was taken priso-
ner and was held until late in 1862 when
he was released and discharged. Re
turning to the west at once he WAS a1nsllg
the first in Alder GuIch after its discoy-
cry. lie was the discoverer Of Hog 'en,
d camp that proved q good one, andaVas
one OF the first IN Thompson's gulch.
Afterwards in company with John II.
EVANS, VI llIS CITY AnG q lew OtlCls, Iic
went to the Yellowstone country and
spent several years there, the party be-
ing among the first white men toexplore
that region. He made extensive explo-
rations in what is now the National
Park, and of course during those years
Of isolation aud hardship is suffered not a
little. III 1871 Austin and Evans came
to Benton and together operated in the
northern country about two years, living
with the Indians, etc. In 1873 or "a
Austin located his ranch on the Missou-
ri, = few miles above town, where he
resided until recently taken ill, passing
his last days in se1lusion and content
ment. He had never been married, and
we believe hes no living relatives.
For the above facts in the remarkable
career of the deceased we are indebted
to John II. Evans, his companion
through many years of hardship on the
plains, and his Warmest personal friend
in his last years. The deceased made 4
will before he died, of which Mr.. Evans
is executor. Peace to his ashes.
