have received a favorable impression of
Benton and its tributary country, and
we believe that it is the duty of the peo-
pie of this town to prevent it getting
into the mails, even if they have to pay
the publishers double the price asked
for every copy. We suggest that a meet
ing Of the leading citizens be called to
take immediate steps in the matter.

If the people Of Benton are alive to
the interests Of our town, they will take
steps to prevent the circulation outside
its limits of q publication which has
made its appearance within the last
week. The publication in question is
ostensibly gotten up in the interest Of
Benton and the surrounding country,
but if allowed % go abroad it will prove
a positive detriment to the town. In the
first place, while the great trade section
that has made Benton the prosperous
town it is-the Judith Basin, Mussel-
shell, Smith River, Sun River, and nu-
kilcrous other valleys, not to speak Of the
great tributary mining districts-is bare
" mentioned, pages Of b~lood-curdling
stuff about Indian massacres and Indian
fights are dished up, calculated to give
the impression chat. Benton is located in
a bowling wilderness, peopled by blood

want to ask two or three questions-if in
the opinion Of his accusors the offense
was not a felonious one,W why, or his
conviction thereof, did they sentence
him to a fine and imprisonment III the

And if any one else sold a horse that did
not belong to him without proper au-
thority, in broad daylight, and IN the
presence of witnesses" would not that
person be charged with theft and be
convicted and sentenced to imprison-
ment? And would not the lawyer editor
of the Independent be able to convict
him Of theft if he had charge of the case
and the act was committed Sin broad
daylight and in the presence of witness
esq And wouldn't the same lawyer
editor burn him up before a jury? Oh,
no!

THREE men, r. S. Ehlers, Joseph
Griffin and James Mckee, were killed
recently, by a cave in the Esmeralda
mine. Three hundred and ten men
were at work in the mine at the time,
but were warned by the cracking of the
timbers in time to escape. The men who
were killed had gone back after their
coats, and were caughtb by the compressed
air in the tunnel, and hurled against the
walls Of the mine, with such force as to
kill them.

A MOST pitiful story of disaster and
death is waited up from the sirocco-
swept field OF Chapios, Mexico. First, a
drouth parched up the earth, and then
came the locusts which devoured the
last vestige Of vegetation. Their decay
ing carcases infected the air and cholera
seized upon the starving people and re-
lieved their suffering. The poor natives
died in herds, whole families yielding to
the contagion in a single night. The
general government has been appealed
to in behalf Of the few survivors. The
blizzard is a delight as compared with
the sirrocco charged with death.

THE bill creating the office of county
attorney has passed the house, and now
goes to the council for consideration. 1t
provides that each county shall elect a
county attorney, who shall receive a
salary Of $500 per annunl, and fees, but
that in no case shall the fees exceed in
the aggregate 500 per annum. It also
abolisIles the offices Of district attorneys
and attorney general at the expiration
Of the terms Of the present incumbents.
We believe the passage Of this bill will
work to the good of the people, and we
hope it twill meet with favor at the hands
of the council. Many eases come up be
fore the probate judge which attorneys
have to be appointed to prosecute, and
their fees alone, during the year, run up
above the sum set as the compensation
provided by this bill for the county at
torney. And on top of this come the
salary, fees and mileage of the district
attorney, all of which money comes
from the pockets Of the people. This
bill will effect a considerable saving, and
we hope it will become a law.

THE telegraph brings us the informa-
ton that great damage has been done in
Ohio and Pennsylvania by recent heavy
rains, which swelled the rivers to over
flowing. The town of Jasper, in the
former state, was flooded by the break
ing of the levee; in Portsmouth the
water ran into the houses, and the whole
lower part Of Marietta was overfioWed.
The Monongahela also rose to q great
height, and many towns in Pennsyl-
vania suffered. At last reports, how
ever, the cold weather which followed
the rain had shut off the small streams,
and the water in the river had begun to
90 down.

General Discussion of Tariff Measures in
Both House and Senate.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-General discussion
OF the tariff bill occupied the time and
attention of the House to-day. By some
the bill was complimented as the best tariff
measure that ever claimed the attention of
the American Congress; by others it was
termed the worst. The American people
will, doubtless, judge for themselves. The
general debate will close at 5 o'clock to-mor-
row afternoon, after which the five-minute
rule will prevail in the discussion of all
features of the bill and all amendments that
may be offered. Under this rule it is ex-
peeted that much more rapid progress will
be made in the House than in the Senate.
In pursuance of the caucus resolve, Mr..
Morrill, undertook to hold the Senate, this
evening, until some substantial progress had
been made upon the tariff bill, but the Dem
ocrats became irritable after the hour of 6
had arrived, and finding it useless to attempt
to accomplish anything in the face of an evil
dent determination to tillibuster, Mr.. Nor
rill, at 6:25, in Difference to Democratic
stomachs, moved to adjourn.
1t is the opinion of many of the Republi-
cans in the House that the consideration of
the tariff bill will not occupy more than ten
or twelve days. On the other hand it is held
by many that at least three weeks will be re-
qufred, owing to the large number of amend
ments which are ready to be offered in
every schedule

Cumulative Evidence That the Officers of the
Lost Ship Were at Faut


Lost Ship Were at Faut
LONDON, Jan. 26. The crew of the steamer
Argow, which has arrived at Hull, state that
on the night before the collision between the
CimbEia and the Sultan, they passed, while
on a voyage from London to Bremen, large
mail steamer. They first perceived through
the fog her masthead and green lights OH the
port bow. She was coming at an angle to-
ward them. They immediately starbo rded
helm, and so passed clear. They ali declare
she was the Cimbria, and was not sounding
her whistle. This occurred three hours be.
fore the collision.
Another captain, of a Wetson Line
steamer, declares he has seen the chief en-.
gineer of the Sultan, who says he was not or
duty at the time of the collision. He was on
deck in the after part OF the vessel, for an
hour and a half afterward. He heard no
cries. Every person on board the Sultan be
lieved the Cimbria had steamed away.
