A Broad" Opinion.

While riding with Col. BroadWater
on the coach the other day our reporter
| took advantage of the opportunity to
quiz him in regard to the prospects OF
| the northern reserve being opened to
settlement by the present congress. The
| colonel is a largely interested party and
is generally supposed to know a little
more about the matter than anybody
| else in Montana, for which reason his
opinion in the premises cannot fail to
be of interest to RIVER PRESS readers.
The colloquy was brief but entirely sat
isfactory.
"Do you think the northern Indian
reservation will be reduced by the pre-
sent congress ~ began the reporter.
II believe it as firmly as / do that the
sun will rise tomorrow morning." was
I the emphatic response,
sThat is pretty positive, but may not
something turn up to prevent such fav--
orable action on the part Of our national
, law makers? ~
"Of course it is possible that some
| thing might happen to prevent it, but
| it won't. The opening Of the reserva-
| ton to settlement this year is a dead
sure thing.n 81.
ssWhat will be the affect on Benton. ~
ssIt will give Benton a boom, and the
good effect will be felt as soon as on
gressional action is taken.p
with your large mercantile interests
at Fort Assinaboine and that vicinity,
would not the opening Of that country
to settlement be something in the nature
of q bonanza to your
ssOf course it would, and those bril-
liant fellows at Benton who are trying
to make themselves believe that / am
opposed to the opening Of the reserva-
| ton are badly off their base"
With these frank opinions on the sub
ject it was hardly necessary to carry the
conversation farther. The reporter was
thoroughly convinced of two things,
viz: that Col. BroadWater wants to see
the Indian country opened up, and that
he firmly believes 1t will be done by the
! present congress.

On to New Orleans.

AT a meeting Of the leading members Of the
New Orleans exposition commissioners for Min
nesota at the executive chambers yesterday az
ternoon it was decided that the freight train OF
twelve cars containing the entire exhibitions for
this state wond leave Minneapolis and st. Paul
next Monday on the river road
for Chicago, which it was thought
would reach New Orleans by Nov. %. Three
cars of the train will be loaded with the agricul-
tural exhibit, two three with machinery and
the balance with the other exhibits. Two
painted banners OF the length Of freight car and
several feet wide are on exhibition in one Of the
halls at the state capitol, one of which is TO be
tackled upon the horticultural car in the train
and the other upon one Of the agricultural laden
cars. The horticultural car represents
three figures whose bodies are built up OF yege-
table representations in the shape of extraordi-
nary specimens Of humanity who have bits in
their mouths and are being driven with lines by
an odd looking coachman seated on a vehicle
whose two wheels are cut from luscious water
melons, the box being filed with all the fruits
for which our state is noted. Behind this strange
looking vehicle crowd Of Minnesotians are
represented in line while ''Ain-
nesota TO the worlds fair is
lettered on the cloth. The agricultural banner
represents Minnesota prairie land with hill and
lake oil fresh water in the back ground and q
country road in front in which is granger's
wagon loaded with bags Of wheat and on which
is seated on his hind legs gopher driver holding
the reinsoover two span Of gophers at high rate Of
speed. This very witty banner is inscribed

visited in Washington BY an eminent bust
ness man, who Is at the head Of one Of the
largest corporations In the United States. To
this man Mr. Blaine said in effect that he

mated at Chicago, but that be should be free
from disappointment IL be were not
When, with some surprise, he was asked
why, Mr.. Blaine replied that a nomination
would only entail long season Of personal
excitement, labor aud annoyance without
good results. In other words, be believed
that 1t was not possible for him to be elected.
When asked again why he so believed, be
said that II WAS not possible for him to be
elected. When asked again why he so believed,
he said that he was satisfied that he could
not carry New York state. He was con-
WINGED that while factional warfare in the
party in that state had practically died, yet
his nomination would revive that sufficiently

more for revenge than for party success

Republicans will knife me TO defeat the
party"
That conviction NJ. Blaine carried With
him through the canvass, though, until
short time before election day, his party
managers did not share 1t. Mr.. Blaine never
thought that there would be any organized
opposition on the part OF the stalwarts. But
he expected that the word would be passed
along quietly among them. or those Of them
who could be trusted. That their opportun-
ity had come, the result shows in part at least
how well Mr. Blaine's fears were realized.
The national committee received hint or
suggestion some weeks ago that quiet
understanding existed among the stslwarts
in some parts Of the state, and this, coupled
with certain decidedly unpleasant symptoms
Of apathy, unskiIlfully yelled BY pretended
energy on the part of certain members OF the
state con- mittee, led the national committee

danger. There we're men on the state com

raving to the weakening Of q mind under
the disappointment Of defeat. His state
ment that he had been ''informed'' that
frauds had been com mitted IN New York
with the intent TO deprive him of
the Presidency were false. No one
had proffered him any such ia form alton, and
even poor old scape-goat Jones knew that
the paper to which his name was appended
was black lie, not fortified by particle Of
evidence or sustained by the suspicion Of
reason. This wanton attempt to unsettle the
result had the effect to produce storm Of
Indignation and was invariably condemned
as an attack upon the business tranquility OF
every community in the land, and the
demand swiftly and imperatively arose from
every village and hamlet from every town
and city that the vexing Of discomftted am
bition be permitted to go no farther. In the
long campaign business interests had suf-
fered deeply enough in consequence OF the
unnatural excitement. The people had
elected their President because they
had confidence in his integrity
and ability and rejected Blaine.
because be was known to be a dangerous
man, a desperate whose associations and
aims were wholly inimical to the public vel
fare. In the course he has chosen to pursue
since the 4th of November, Blaine has
forfeited the last remaining spark Of respect
entertained for him, and is regarded
as public enemy whose defeat is the highest
national blessing. It is the sovereign viii Of
the people that turmoil cease, that the
elected President be so declared that doubt
and strife terminate, that peace obtain, and
business resume its peaceful, bealthful sway.
Jim Blaine is in the bottom Of his last ditch.

A Smuggler Caught.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |


FORT KEoGH, Mont, Nov. 10.-A man
named Wildes was arrested short time ago
near Fort Benton for smuggling and lodged
in the Helena jail. Wildes is one Of party
who have long been engaged in carrying on
an extensive business of smuggling clothing
over the line from the British Provinces.
Their plan of operations has been to send
an agent travelling through the northwest
taking orders for clothing at very
low rates. The names Of prominent Chicago
houses have beeu given, and the customer
has been told that the goods would be sent
by express C. o. D. Orders thus received
were sent to the Ontario clothing manufact-
urers, and then by the aid of half breeds and
whites struggled over the line. The bundles
were then deposited at the nearest express
Office, directed to the parties ordering.
Special Agent Douglass, of the treasury de-
partment, passed west to-day to investigate
Wilde's case.

DIR. CarrolPs Lecture.

Rev. j. II. Carroll, d. D., of saltwater, deliv-
cred his now famous lecture, "From the Blarney
Stone to Vesuvius,' last evening at Plymouth
church This great lecture has been noticed be-
fore in these columns, but it lie impossible to say
too much in commentator, either of the lecture
or the manner in which it is delivered by DR..
Carroll. Like a ShAkcspearian play, DR.. Car
rolls lecture never grows old; ii is always fresh
and always absorbing, and il has this advantage
over the works Of the immortal playwright, il is
never marred and grossly slaughtered by the
interpreter. DR.. Carroll is a good elocutionist
and consummate actor, and had
he not found his place in the pulpit and on the
platform, he most unquestionably would have
found a congenial home on the stage. The lee
ture, although it has now been delivered to ST.
