ONE cal scarcely pick up an English
paper nowadays that does not contain
some allusion to the expectancy OF the
part Of British manufacturers that cur
tariff will be shortly lowered SO that
this country can once more be flooded
with goods from England's surplus
stores. In the last number of Ryland's
Iron Trade Circular is given a report Of
the annual meeting of the we'll known
establishment of John Brown & Co.,
Limited. In the course of the proceed
ings mention is made Of MI. Whit
worth, M. P, who proposed the usual
resolution for the payment of the annu-
al divident. In moving the resolution
he mentioned, with qualification, so the
journal says, that MI. Blaine, the re-
publican candidate for the presidency
of the United States, would very likely
be rejected, and the candidate repre-
senting the free trade party returned.
"Should this be the case, they might &C.
pect alteration IN the present en-
Favorable tariff There would be great
rejoicing in England over the return of
the democratic party to power, but it
will probably be a long time before they
can light their bonfires on this account.
The people Of this country will not
place confidence in a party that is in the
slightest degree welded to the policy Of
free trade.

IHE experience or this year shows
that there is a necessity for better facili-
ties in the matter of handling the wool
clip at this place. Wool is now the
principal export by the river, and the
business is rapidly increasing every year.
1t has already assumed sufficient mag
nitude to command the best attention
from the transportation companies. who
should, so far as in their power, provide
every convenience at this place for the
shipper. Warehouses or sheds on the
levee in which to store the wool await
ing shipment is 4 the greatest need now.
Wool that gets wet is damaged more Or
less and may probably bring a lower
price when put on the market. The
grower naturally likes to see his clip get
started to market in the very best condi-
ton possible, and if suitable warehouse
room car be secured on the levee he
would gladly pay storage until such time
as the boats are ready to take his clip,
having thus an assurance that it will
not be in any way damaged. If such
facilities were afforded and a guarantee
given by the transportation companies
to take out all the wool delivered here
up to a certain date "a reasonable one),
the wool shipments from Fort Benton
next year would be one-half a million
pounds greater than they were this.
Under these circumstances the growers
from points within the limit claimed as
its W by the Northern Pacific would
ship to the river, as the railroad has
treated them badly this year, putting
up through rates to Boston to $3.50 or
more whenever the grower was in their
power, that is, when he could not easily
take his wool to the river, on account of
the distance. This is the way the grow
ers of Smith river were "cinched," and
some of them threaten to come to Fort
Benton again next year. The general
wish of the growers for more satisfac-
tory shipping arrangements will prob
ably be granted. We are informed by
Mr.. Power that he will have sheds or a
suitable and convenient place for storing
the wool next season, and VIZ have nc
doubt he will be ready to accord all 9TH
er just and reasonable demands Of the
wool men. Mr.. Power realizes fully the
Importance of this traffic to Fort Benton
as well as to the steamboat lines, and so
far as he is concerned nothing will be
left undone to facilitate the handling
and transportation of the wool at this
place.

jeff Davis Poverty.

The current impression that Jeff Davis
is in affiuent circumstances is contradict
ed by a Georgia newspaper, which pub
fishes a letter from a lady who has just
visited the ex-Confederate president, in
which she reports that he is very poor.
The plantation which Davis received as
a legacy from a female sympathizer, is
covered with water at the present time,
and is not very richly covered with
crops at any time. Davis has been dis
appointed also in the returns from his
book, 1.-The Rise and Fall of the Con-
federate States,n which has never been
in demand since the first feeling Of
curiosity was satisfied. A popular sub
scription in the south is suggested, of
such proportions as will enable Davis to
spend his remaining days in pecuniary
comfort.

Running a Newspaper Under Difficulties.

CHEYENNE, Wyoming, July 3.-The
publication of the Northwestern Live
Stock Journal was begun here last No
vember by Mercer & Marney, two Texas
men. They were without money when
they started, but their paper was count
enanced by cattle men and they claim
to have made S., 900 above running ex-
penses in eight months. Lately the
proprietors have Lad %quarrels. Each
claims that the other is trying to carry
on the business in a high-handed way.
Mercer discharged the bookkeeper,
Marney's brother-in law, and put in a
friend of his own. This brought on a
personal encounter during which Mer-
GERS wife smashed a spittoon over Mar
ney's head. Marney cannot leave his
bed for several weeks in consequence.
Mrs. Mercer is under bail for assault
with intent to kill. Mercer "held the
fort" until to-day, when the office was
seized by the sheriff on an execution
issued for debt by a local business man.
This weeks issue has been discontinued.
The property is considered valuable,
though this muddle will prove a serious
blow to it. A receiver will probably be
appointed.

The Grand Army Parade.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 23.-The Grand
Army parade was somewhat tardy IN
forming in line, but it is now in motion
and is greeted with tremendous cheers
by the 10000 people who throng every
street along the line Of march. The
weather is fair but sultry with threaten
ing clouds. It is the largest demonstra-
ton since the war.
After the parade a business meeting
will be held. The candidates for grand
commander are Canadian, of Illinois;
Warner, of Missouri Kounts, OF Ohio
Burt, of Illinois, and Anderson, of
Kansas. Gen. Sherman is being urged
but has declined to accept the honor.

THOSE who have been waiting in pa
thence for the opening of the great
northern reservation are likely to have
their wishes gratified before the 4th Of
March next. All obstacles to the pass
age of the bill will soon be removed by
determining upon boundaries for the
new reservation that will be generally
satisfactory. The opening of this reser-
walton will prove more beneficial to
Fort Benton than the coming of a rail
road or anything else that is likely to
happen soon. It will make this town
the most important stock center in the
be substantial and permanent.
