The result of the spring elections in
Maine is reported to have destroyed the hope
of the Greenbackers of carrying the State
this year. Governor Plaisted has SO far re-
fused to convoke the legislature for the pur-
pose of redistrictIng the State, believing
shat if the four congressman were elected
on the general ticket his party could secure
all of them. This hope is now to be dissi-
pated. There is little prospect, however, of
any plan for rearranging the congressional
districts being agreed upon if the legislature
is called together, as it will not consent to
any scheme that defrauds the Republicans.

The Journal Of Commerce thinks the cot
ton manufacturers of Manchester (England)
have been ''stuffing" Consul Shaw, who, 1t
will be remembered, has recently told some
painful stories about the adulteration of
American cotton. The Journal says that if
the Consul had put himself at the standpoint
of the American cotton grower he would
have learned the following facts: That
there is no such thing as perfectly pure cot
ton. That no gin has ever been invented
that takes out the sand or dirt inevitably adj
herring to the lower grades of cotton when
picked. That the presence of moisture Is
the result of carelessness oftener than fraud,
arising from the exposure of the bales to
rain without sufficient cover. That the mix
ing of different grades in the same bale is
the work of ignorance or the want of proper
facilities rather than of swinding That
even admitting all the Manchester buyers
say, they are not losers in pocket by the
operation They buy the cotton knowing it
to be sandy or soaked with rain at reduced
rate. They lose nothing by it. If the cot
ton is palmed off as higher grade in
finer condition than it ''pans out, =" they have
their remedy in suit for damages against
the seller.

hundred dollars to the keeper of the crypt in
the national Capitol 1t had passed year
after year without question, till finally some
one concluded to find out what the Office
was and he discovered that when the Capt.
toll was erected vault was made in the base
ment for the reception of the remains of
General Washington and keeper appointed
to guard it from injury, and although the re-
mains were never removed to the vault and
no guard was required, yet for more than
half century one had been retained and his
salary voted because no member of Congress
knew anything about it. When the facts
were discovered the Office was abolished.

FAST MAILS FOR THE WEST.

The agitation of this subject by the peo-
pie and press Of the west is likely to bear
good fruit. The department has urged upon
Congress the necessity for an appropriation
for special transportation of mails on trunk
lines between the oceans with the view Of
shortening the time between the East and the
West. The project is in a fair way to be
carried to Goa pletion. The Postmaster
General recently said Il have a hope,
it Congress makes the appropriations pro-
posed by the Senate for special facilities FOR
the transportation Of mails on trunk lines,
that we may arrange a schedule which will
send mail from New York to the West or
San Francisco and get q return in three days
less than it takes now 1t takes thirteen Gays
to do this at present. Now the mails are car
ried on railway trains and go when passen
gers go. This subjects the mails to slow
time and frequent delays. The mails for the
West now lie in Chicago about four hours,
and in Omaha and Kansas City three hours
more. The railroad companies themselves
will havesto be consulted as to the method of
overcoming these delays-whether it is to be
done by chartering one fast train between
New York and Denver, or otherwise. My
theory is to lay the backbone for the estab-
lishment of a fast mail service on the trunk
lines between the two oceans and then put on
attachments or Improvements as fast as we
can"

THE LAND LEAGUE.

We are glad to see that a branch Of The
Land League has been organized in Benton
and that active measures are to be taken to
forward the cause here and assist as far as
possible in the good work going on.
On the part of many there appears to be a
mistaken idea as to the object and purpose Of
the League. 1t is by no means a revolution
ary organization, and is as different as day
from night from the Fenian movement of a
few years ago. Charles Stewart Parnell,
now incarcerated in prison because he had
the courage to call lin4s by their right
names in reviewing Ireland's wrongs, is the
recognized originator and leader of the pres.
ent movement, the principal object of which
is to bring about, by legal not revolutionary
means, g land reform in Ireland that will lif'
the tenant from the slough of poverty and
despair in which he is now found to q higher

has drawn over SIS. 1000 from the treasury for
services. Look at the allowance of $500 to
Talbert for following Warehouse down the
river, wheni it would have been a real blessing
to let the fellow get away and stay! There is
doubtless plenty of room for reform in this
direction, and the Commissioners might find
it profitable to give q few hints in the prem
ises.
The expenses of roads and highways dur.
ing the year were only 90, 085. 10, not one
half as much as should have been expended
on the roads OF the county. II the court
expenses were reduced one half and the road
bills doubled the tax paxer would be much
better satisfied.
The expenses of the poor and infirm reach
nearly 81, 900, rather a large outlay for q
new and progressive county. There are too
many who receive benefits from the poor
fund who do not deserve it, and those in
authority should exercise a little more dis
erection in the premises. Neither is it a
business like method to send paupers to the
| hotels to be boarded at regular rates at the
expense of the county, as has been
done in the past, and, under con-
tract, will be repeated next year. 1t is
! about time that the county were providing
a regular poor house where psrties who
really deserve aid can secure it without such
a heavy drain on the treasury. A poor farm
property managed would more than support
it's inmates, and the establishment Of such an
institution would be a matter Of economy to
the people.
We believe, however, that the commission
ers, ably seconded by Judge Tattan, have
made a well directed effort the past year to
cut down expenditures, and that they have
succeeded in reducing the Indebtedness in no
small sum, notwithstanding the g%rievous
burdens above noted, is greatly to their
credit. With the benefit of their past ex-
perience they can doubtless be enabled to re-
trench in many directions and can present in
1883 a statement even more favorable than
t hat we publish today.

We publish to-day the annual report of
County. Clerk Tattan which is detailed ex-
hibit of the receipts and expenditures of the
county during the year ending March /, 1882.
The showing is IN many respects a most
gratifying one, and ereditable to the officers
who conduct the business of the county.
The levy last year was but 16 mills on the
dollar and two terms of court were held in
stead of one, as heretofore, and still a de-
crease in the Indebtedness of the county lex
elusive Of building jaiD of Sc, 931,46 is
shown. Including the cost Of the iail-not
far from $12, OOO-the increase in the indebt-
edness of the county during the year has
been but S 5,908, "a. This general exhibit
shows that In some quarters at least there
has been an effort to retrench expenditures
and that the county is fairly started in the
way to wipe out entirely its Indebtedness.
The bonded Indebtedness Of the county is
$50. 900 and during the past year this has
been funded at q lower rate of interest, seven
per cent, thus effecting q considerable an
nual saving in the way Of interest. Deduct
ing the cash On. hand March 1, 1882, from
the total liabilities at that date leaves the net
in iebtedness Of the county $46, 456. 46. And
if from this we deduct the handsome school
fund balance in the hands of the Treasurer
the Indebtedness is reduced to $40, 1921. 80.
This is not a bad showing for Choteau coun-
ty with her valuable public property and
buildings.
In the recapitulation of expenditures it win
| BE observed that the expenses of the District
Court, including Sherif's fees, etc., reach
the grand total Of So. 800. 80. This is twice
as much as it ought to be, considering thai
during the year there were scarcely three
weeks Of court. In Gallatin county the past
year the total court expenses were but
So 645 so. WIZ should there be sc
great . difference? There is. such :
thing as having officials who are too jealous,
and it would appear from the records thai

THE P MISSOURI.

The House committee on the improvement
of rivers and harbors is diligently at work
on the appropriation bill and will, it is said,
be ready to report the bill to the House early
in April. Members of the committee are OF
course reticent, as they should be, but one
Of them has stated in general terms that lib
eral appropriations will be provided for the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers. This much
is at least encouraging, and it is to be hoped
that the ''father of waters" will not absorb
nearly all of it, as has been the rule hereto
fore. The rapid development of the New
Northwest has rendered the Missouri an i'm
portant stream for commercial purposes and
it is time that Congress should take cogni-
zance of the fact, and by improving it add to
its usefulness.
The upper Missouri deserves more than
any other portion Of the stream. 1t requires
immediate Improvement to put it in a navigs-
BILE condition, and no money could be voted
by Congress for the purpose Of advancing
the commercial interests Of the country that
would result more beneicially. A hundred
thousand dollars expended or the upper di-
vision of the Missouri would render it easy
of navigation as far as Benton for six months
in the year, and would add wonderful i'm
petus to the development of the country
tributary to the upper river.
Our Delegate in Congress should not fail
to urge this fact before the House committee
on commerce and secure if possible a large
appropriation. Nothing that he can do will
so rebound to the benefit of his constituents
and We hope to hear that he has not over
the importance of this matter.

and better plane. It is directed again Land
lordism and not against the British flag it
does not propose to liberate Ireland, only SO
far as her people would be liberated by the
enactment of more just and liberal land laws
"a result that can only be attained by per-
sistent agitation.
All great reforms are brought about in this
way. 1t Is always necessary to pave the way
by a~gitation-to create a public sentiment
favorable to the reform sought. It William
Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, John G..
Whittier, John Brown and others had not
persevered in the anti-slavery agitation our
land would yet probably be cursed with slav-
cry. One purpose of the League, then, is to
keep up the land reform agitation, to create
a favorable public sentiment, and that in
time, with due perseverance,, success will
crown it's efforts there can be no doubt
whatever.
Another and more immediate object Of the
League is to render ~pecuniary assistance to
those who are bearing the brunt of the fight.
Tenants are evicted by the thousand and
unless aid is furnished them they must sub
nit to the hard terms of landlords. The
opposition would be short lived indeed but
for the hearty cooperation Of friends in the
United States and elsewhere. The money
contributed, we have good reason to believe,
is honestly appropriated to advance the cause
of the Irish tenantry against Landlordism,
with all the wrongs and grievances and infa-
my the word carries with it in Ireland. Be-
yond this the League does not go, and we
have great confidence that its just purpose
will in time be effected. The League in
Benton should, and doubtless will, do its full
share of the good work.
