Is IT THE PRELUDE TO A DOWNFALL,

You do not hear people who deal In politics
talk much now about what a strong sensible
and far-seeing administration is the present
one. Three months ago you could scarcely
hear anything else. 'The best and strongest
President for years, " was the talk most heard
among politicians. You do not hear much Of
the kind now. On the contrary, the politicians
begin to temper their talk with such statements
as Arthur is not the man he promised 20 be &.
He is not strong, and has made far too many
mistakes He has challenged too freely the
Garfield men, and has too grossly insulted the
large number OF Republicans who have a
regard for q good civil service" What
a change! Arthur has done nothing
to deserve this revul-ion of sentiment It il
simply the result OF the other side in his party
having chance TO make itself felt
When Mr. Arthur took his seat there were M
elections near at hand. He WAS a staIwart OF
the sialWarts, to use the language OF the da
parted Guiteau. He had it all his own wav
w thout regard to the Kicking of the "a
spised half-breeds, he proceeded to turn oIt ali
anti-staiwart ofdceholders, and suppiant them
with the men OF his way of thinning He did
not respect lis enemy Ee regarded him ss far
too weak to be worthy of consideration
But the elections are coming on. The despised

his strength, is out in full force He is so nm.

despised half breeds what fail there viii be

There is marked activity in appointments in
the Treasury Department. Folger, who has
always held out against any great changes in
minor appointments, is now shuffiing the
places about quite lively. The appointment
clerk has all he can do and is kept busy at his
desk until long after Office hours. He is the
busiest Official in the Treasury employ 1t is
noticed that most of the new appointees in
fact, nearly all of them, are from the
great State of New York. Can it be possible
that Folger Is working to strengthen his boom
in this way, or is he simply paying off the peo-
pie who worked the New York convention
in his interest? 1t is certainly one leg or the
other. At any rate Folger has great head
on him in holding on to the Treasury Depart
ment as long as he can. 1t is good thing for
a politician with desire for prererment to
have the Treasury Department at his back,

Il. +. Wackerlin 81 Co.

After several weeks of hard and per-
istent work, this firm has just concluded
he task Of moving into and fitting upin
heir new and elegant brick building.
.seyond any question Of doubt they
ave now the finest hardware store in
Montana. The building is q handsome
rick, 3OxlOO feet in dimensions, two
tories high, with basement under the
ntire structure. Here they have as
much II ON as any other house in Ben
ON, but it falls SO far short Of affording
proper storage that they are required 10
iave in addition three large warehouses,
I'll OF which are full of goods, from
which statement some idea Of the busi-
less transacted annually by this firm
nay be obtained.
In the cellar are stored away in their
regular departments all heavy goods,
,uch as nails, horse shoes, building paper,
ron, unopened cases OF hardware, etc, !,
and it is simply as full as it can hold.
The first floor is devoted to hardware
and glassware, crcckely, ETC., or rather
o make a display Of these goods, and a
most attractive one it is The let hand
side upon entering is devoted to hard
ware, and the right TO glassware, etc.,
while o double row of stove occupy the
center. The goods are SO arranged in
departments and SO thoroughly classified
that it is no trouble to find at once any
article wanted. To illustrate, the first
two or three tiers Of shelving are set
apart for locks Of ail kinds, and each
shelf displays differ. ut article in that
line-and the same excellent arrange
lnent obtains throughout the various
departments. The bolt rack i'm the rear
part Of the room contains l6O different
bins, besides seventy bins for nuts,
washers, etc.
The second story is devoted entirely to
the mechanical department, and is one
of the most complete tin shops in the
territory. The three different floors are
connected by an elevator by which the
heaviest articles can be moved from one
TO the other with the greatest possible
ease.
In all its appointments and arrange
ments, the store seems complete, and it
Ii certainly most creditable establish
nlent for Benton. There are few hard
ware stores in the states as complete in
all respects or that present a more hand
some appearance.

The above is the title OF n new hook which
the we'll known biographical and historical
writer. L. G. llcadIey, j. DOW jssuiug from
the press. biographical writers have not here.
toiore, ms q rule, possessed the faculty OF con.
densati0n and c0nciseness mud have In con.
sequence generally given us but little more
than voluminous eulogies OF the men and
women whose careers they undertook to mar.
rate. We are pleased to note however, that
at last one author has discovered these faults,
and In the "Public Men OF To-Day succeeded
in rectiiying them. lie has thereby given
us biographical accounts true to nature. from
which an accurate and impartia! knowledge
OF the inside lives OF the subjects can be Oh.
tanned.
The book before us is beautiful volume
OF 500 large octave pages, equal to !, 900 pages
OF books us they are generally made, with
nearly $50 iife-likc portraits OF the subjects
on steel and wood. 1t contains authentic
biographies Of The President and Vice rresi.
dent OF the United Stntes, each member OF
the outgoing and it-coming Cabinet, the
United States Senators and members of the
House OF Representatives. the Chief Justice
and Justices of the United States Supreme
Court, and OF the Governors Of several States.
1t thus covers, III compact form. the whole
iield OF our public scrS ice, entirely free from
political bias, and embraces II vast amount
Of important and desirable information con.
corning the workings OF our government
which but few have hitherto had any means
of knowing and which all ought TO know.
As We have intimated, the worl, is original
in conception; in mechanical execution, a,l.
mirablr; and vii! be found very useful ms n
book OF reference and for illustrating the
public and private career Of our representa-.
tive men. The conceded ability OF the a,l.
thor, together with the skill OF the artists
employed. are alone sufficient guarantees OF
the merits and excellence OF the work, and to
all who shall consult its ample pages it will,
in our opinion, prove most entertaining and
instructive. The portraits furnish un ex.
ceedingly attractive feature of the book, and
greatly enhance its value. III n word, we
should say il was biographical treasury and
National Portrait Gallery In one volume,
thus making n book with whicl, all inteili.
gent families will be delighted, and whicl,
ought 10 find its way into every mans library.
