IT does not take much to stir up she
wrath of the County Boss and his lick
spittle of the Record. In yesterday
mornings RIVER Press we referred to
the very remarkable report of the graad
jury, and showed rathet conclusively
that so far as reductions in county ex-
penses had been effected the credit for
the same was due the commissioners
and not John w. Tattan, who is simply
the clerk of the board, having not sne
scintilla of authority than any
other citizen. This is a simple fact,
known to everybody who is not a crank,
or who doesn't want to know. The
grand jury ascribed the credit of the re-
duction to Tattan. If the grand jury is
right Tattan must be the power behind
the board of commissioners; in ether
words, their boss. If Tattan is not the
County Boss, and simply, as the statutes
provide, the clerk Of the board, then he
is no more responsible for the good work
the commissioners have done than is L.
G. Power & Bros book-keeper for tht
! successful operations and business man

BOSSISM.

The defeat of Grant in 1880 was the
death blow to bossism iii anational way;
in New York the democrats, happily for
them, have overthrown Boss Kelly; In
Pennsylvania the sway of Boss Cameron
will probably o end; Boss Hubbell,
the amiable assessor Of public officials,
has been defeated for u renomination to
congress-in fact, there is q general on-
slaught ali along the line against the
political bosses. The people, it seems,
and rightly, are getting tired Of their
rule, and propose as fast as possible to
depose them. There are sometimes
bosses in county affairs, and not unfre-
quently they are more obnoxious than
the big bosses q. they have to do directly
with the people, the only difference
being their sway is not SO extensive.
Choteau seems to be troubled in this
way, and if the people look to their in
terests in November they will see to it
that the County Boss is retired. He is
not by any means u necessary adjunct to
the successfu5 management Of the affairs
Of the county.

another row will grow out of subsequent

THE resolutions of the republican con
v%ention were adopted without a dissent
ing voice. One Of them asked the
county commissioners to appoint CON-
petent men TO examine the records efall
county officers. Tt is ridiculous to sup
pose this resolution was applicable 70
one officer. The resolution was a good
one; it was intended rs q hit at no enc,
but could well be adopted in every
county in this territory. The absurdity
of expecting a grand jury in a few days
time to overhaul the records of all the
county officers is too transparent 30
notice. Such an examination WOULD be
only superficial ut the best. AS "his
honor'' has remarked on a previous oe-
casion, it would take over q month for
a trained book-keeper to examine 5he
books of one official alone. In many of
the states s,lch inspection is required by
law, and no honest official could tssse
offense ut it.

IMPRISONMENT.

The apportionment board appointed
by congress to apportion the territory
for legislative purposes has beer called
to meet at the office Of the governor Oh
the sd of this month for the perfor-
nance of the duties deyolvi1lg upon it.
The members of the board are Governor
Potts, Chief Justice Wade, President
To ,le, of the council, and Speaker Dom
nelly y, of the house, and doubtless they
will discharge the trust devolving upon
them well and faithfully. The apper-
tionment is to be made upon the basis Of
the present population (estimated) OF the
territory, and of course it will result in
q good many changes. The board also
has the power to organize new counties,
but it is not probable that they will so
into the business very extensively.

BENTONss TRADE.

THIS has been a remarkably prosper
GUS. season for Benton. With, the most
favorable boating season ever Known ON

ceived more goods than ever before,

orders of last year, and theproblem that
for awhile presented itself to their
minds was chow can Nc dispose of

a measure unexpected trade from the

have been compelled TO make heavy fall

that they can meet the demands Of the

freight at Bismarck, bringing Tor our
merchants almost twice as much as any
former season, it was believed that the
fall shipment to Clagett, Cow Islandan
Rocky Point, would be exceedingly
light, but the facts are just the contrary.
Information we have received from mer
chants and parties interested III steam
boat lines ON the river goes to establish
the fact that there is a vast amount of
freight now en- route up the river aTsta
yet to come, ssRd that almost the usual
share Of freigAting from points down
the river this fall will be required.
These facts tell in unmistakeable terms
Of the prosperous trade enjoyed by Ben
ton this season, and the prospect for the
future is more encouraging than ever
before. The success attending all nain-
ing operations at Barker and the rsspid
development Of the csaaap insures 81 large

fall and winter, while next season it
will grow to mammoth proportions

perity depends, and all alike are making
rapid strides in the way of development,
