RAILROAD NEWS.
The Fort Benton Branch of the Northern
Pacific Will Soon be Started. and
Don't You Forget It.

Now that the flood is virtually over
and Fort Benton has SO far escaped
with little loss the most threatening
breakup of the Missouri ever known,
showing to those who have had doubts
before the impregnable position of the
town, it will not be out of order to in
form our readers that the construction
of the Fort Benton branch Of the North
ern Pacific railroad at an early date is a
settled fact, and that the only thing in
question at this writing is the route to
be adopted. Without being able to give
our authority we can say that nothing
is surer than the commencement of
operations on this branch soOn-nOt by
the Northern Pacific company directly,
but by private parties, the road, of
course, to be ultimately turned over to
the N. p.
The attention of those interested has
lately been turned to the natural and
comparatively short route for railroad
from Livingston, up Shields river and
down Smith river to its confluence with
the Missouri, near Great Falls, and
thence to Fort Benton by such route
as may be considered the most practica-
BILE. At the present writing this route
seems to stand insthe highest favor, and
there is something more than chance
that it will be adopted.
The Livingston route is undoubtedly
practicable one, and certainly the most
direct, while it would pass through a
stock and mineral country that would

Commissioners Meeting.

The commissioners met in regular ses-
sion Monday, the full board being
present-Messrs. Wetzel, Arnoux, and
Conrad.
The matter of the Belt creek bridge
was first considered, and it was decided
to put in truss The clerk will adver-
tise for bids for the building of the same

A statement of the probate judge in
reference to the reservation addition to
the city was received, and ordered
spread on the minutes. The report
shows that $50, O,O94.91 belonging TO the
school fund has been received and turn
ed over to the treasurer Some 800 lots
remain unsold.
The probate judge made his report of
fines received during the quarter, which
amount to the magnificent sum of one
dollar. It goes to swell the school
funds.
G.. G.. Griffith appeared before the
board and made statement to the effect
that he was having lithograph of the
city plat made, showing also four of the
principal buildings of the city, of the
proper size for letter paper, and urged
the board to have paper with this en-
craving used by the various county
offices, as an advertisement of the town

serve the purposes desired, and in the
matter of cost of construction, business,

But Helenas enterprise and the influ-

in favor of that city, as time will show
It will not be many weeks until the
whole matter is made public and opera

Work for our County Boarders.

The fellow who caught on to the cow
boys outfit so easily Thursday night,
but was not lucky enough to find Il horse
with which he could skip, was brought
before Judge Tattan yesterday and given
go days board at the county's expense.
BY that time winter will be over, and
he will think that Fort Benton folks are
pretty liberal to give poor man lift
like that just when he needed it. In
theory the penalties of our courts are
supposed to be punishment to the
offender, but in practice it does not
seem to work that way. Slight offences
seem TO be committed sometimes by a
worthless class of our citizens with such
readiness and absence Of motive as to
suggest to an outsider that the offender
was rather calculating on, and would
be disappointed if he did not receive,
the usual 80 or 80 days of county ra-
tions. The way our laws now stand,
we suppose there is no alternative but
to imprison and board these petty often
ders, but as prominent citizen re-
marked to us yesterday, there are lot
of bitches and drains that want open
ing here in town, and why not give
these county wards chance to acquire
a good appetite for their meals by doing
a little useful work The bitches all
around town are full of standing water,
and down on the reservation there is
a small lake. 1t would improve the
appearance of our town, and also the
health of our citizens, amazingly if this
surplus water could be at once drained
off.

The miners of Clark's Fork mining
district and the residents Of Cooke City
are much alarmed over the proposed
bill before congress, which extends the
boundaries of the National Park thirty
miles further east. This would take in
the mines and towns, and play havoc
with the schemes Of the bonanza hun
ters. The smelter is expected to start
up in a few days, and will make things
boom for time at least. There are
about 800 people in camp, whose favor

shoes, as the great depth Of the 'sbeauti-
full bars out the old-fashioned means of
travelling.

City Council.

At called meeting of the council last
Friday the committee on streets and
alleys was authorized to notify all par
ties on Main, Baker and Front streets
who have not built their sidewalks, as
required by ordinance, that in fifteen
days, if the walk still remains unbuilt,
bids will be at once advertised for the
uncompleted portions. This will make
q heavy additional expense, and we adj
wise all property owners to come to the
scratch at once and obey the ordi-
nances regarding sidewalk building, as
the councilmen have blood in their eyes
now and mean business.
All the bills which were incurred by
reason of the late flood were audited
and ordered paid, to the amount Of
about 5000. The necessary repairs are
TO be made at once on the engine house
where the side wall was broken in by
the ice gorge. A party will be hired to
open the bitches and drains in the town
and let the standing water run off.

Questions and Angwara.


The Argus was of an ineuiring turn of
mind yesterday and wanted the PRESS to
give it some Information. We cheerfully
accede to its request. First the Argus wants
to know if the PRESS criticizes Marshal De-
celle 'for his culpable neglect to shut up
Sullivan, Cady or any of the scores of other
places where the law is notoriously violat-
ed" The PRESS criticises any officer who
neglects his duty, and therein differs from
the Argus, which has habiaually defended
ex-Marshal Andrews, though evidence of
his neglect of duty was overwhelming. But
the PRESS will not assume that an officer il
negligent of his duty simply because the Ar
gus says he iss That would be equivalent to
an assumption that the Argus cannot or
will not tell lie. Unfortunately veracity
has never been one of its conspicuous vir-
tues.
Again the Argus wants to know if sit is
the secret of the PREss's delight in Decelle
that his nice discrimination preeludes him
from selecting any victims" Here are sey.
eral assumptions. One is that the PRESS
delights in Decelle. The PRESS confesses to
no special delight in Decelle. AS long as he
does his duty the Press will support him,
and no longer. Another assumption is that
Mr.. Decelle has been making discrimina-
tions. We have seen no evidence Of it.
Again the Argus wants to know if the
PRESS sis inclined to accept the fact that
Mr.. Decelle has not made any raids upon
Mr.. Sullivan as proof of his efficiency" No,
we are not inclined to, if 1t be fact. Meth
or should we accept the fact, If it were a
fact that, like ex-Marshal Andrews, he
seized Mr.. Sullivan's shop, and nobody's

else, as proof Of his efaciency, and therein

else, as proof of his efficiency, and therein
we should differ from the Argus.
Again the Argus wants to know If the
PRESS twill indicate its desire to have the
rum shops closed up during the heated
term" The great suffering that such action
would cause some of our esteemed con tenn
poraries makes us hesitate little, we con-
fees to answer this question in the afflrma-
tive.
Again, the Argus wants to know if the
PRESS 'expects any aid in closing up the
rum-shops from the City Government. The
PRESS expects the City Government to per-
form all its duties, and il aiding in closing
up the rum shops is one of them it expects
1t to perform that.
Again, the Argus wants 10 know "WheD,
where and in what language" instructions
to the police force to enforce the liquor law
were given. We Go not know the exact
time and exact language, and neither is i'm
portant. Mayor King says be instructed
them to enforce the law, and we have seen
no reason to doubt his statement.

Campaign Notes.

The Democratic press seems desrous of creating
the impression that it is Rev. Mr. Ball, of Buffalo,
and not Grover Clev land who is running for the
Presidency.-Kansas City journal.
Cleveland finds great difficulty in making the
race" in his letter of acceptance. The tariff is a
seven barred gate, a hedge fence, stone wall, a
plowed field and broad ditch in his way, But
Cleveland has had no experience such matters.
He is sexcusable.-Burling ton Hawkeye.
Mr.. Blaine's letter proved that the Mulligan
charge was not only untrue, but impossible and
would continue so to prove until the Gregorian
calendar could be turned around and October made
TO precede April in the stately procession OF the
year.-The late Judge Black.
Our grievance is of the simplest and plainest ma
ture There is nothing about it to require investi
cation. We have published it repeatedly and will
publish it again Whenever 1t is asked for. We hold
that Grover Cleveland is not fitted 10 be President
and that he has done nothing TO merit such promo
tion.-New YORK Sun.
The Cleveland (O) Leader denies the of repeated
statement that the "German Republicans will vote
for Cleveland The bulk of the German Journals
in Ohio are ardently supporting the Republican
ticket, says the Leader, and German voters are
quietly settling down into their old places in the
Republican party. The Germans are not free trad
ers in Ohio.
The report that MIR. Blaine is broken down in
health and lives in state of perm anent discourage
ment will be examined with great interest by men
of both parties If 1t is true, it is very important
if il true it will of course, be authoritatvely
contrailcted at once. But Mr. Blaine. in his letter
OF acceptance has very little Of the appearance of
who is discouraged.-New York Sun.
There has never been an hour since Mr.. Blaine
was nominated when there has been any doubt as to
his election, so the tardily announced purpose of
Gen Butler to enter the Presidential race SO far IS
it will affect the general result is matter of very
little moment considered from Republica point
Of view. His candidacy is, however, likely to play
mis- sbief with the Democratic canvass.-Worcester
(Mass.) Spy.
Everybody who Is familiar with the political
methods of the American people and who has TAX
any pains at all to notice the progress of the
pending comgaign, must see that it has thus far
Two striking and significant features One is the
ter GOODNESS, Indifference and lack of movement on
the Democratic side. The other is the spontaneous
life and buoyancy and the advanced state of organ
ization on the Republican side.-Butfalo Express.
There is no doubt chat the policy announced by
Mr.. Blaine shat of the late administration is a
better policy for the United States to adopt than
that declared by the Clayton -Bulwer treaty. Our
interest in the canal is going to prove great that
it will be important for us TO undertake protector
ate, and it may be. exclusive prote torate Our
position with regard the Panama Isthmus is very
much like that of England with regard to the 18th
mus of Suez-Natioa, November, 1882.

Suppose the hideous story of the New
