HELENA ANo BENTON RAIL-
ROAD.

Our east side neiehbors in Lewis
and clarke are & inx about the con-
summation OF this enterprise with "a
earn+stn-ss and .prOmp ne-s that
augirs we'll for its success. Helena's
business men and capitalists are NIT
waiting tor some one from the out
side tn take the initiative In q matter
which directly concerns theniselves.
They zee the necessity OF railroad
connection with the head of naviga-
ton at benton. In fect they see that
it is Of vital Importance II they wish
to make Helena the commercial cen.
ter of the Territory. and they propose
to put the enterprise through.
The numerous reasons given by the
citizens committee why the road
should be built are thus ably set
forth by the chairman of the com
mlittee, Mr.. E. w. Toole: ut will de-
velop the immense and inexhaustible
coal mines along its line, unequalled
in extent and quality, it is believed,
by any within our reach, and thereby
f1rni.h abundance of business for the
road, cheap fuel for the city. insure
the erection of works for the reduce
ton Of our ores, and the construction
of factories, f.mndries and machiDe
shops. to utilize the other produc-
lions from the vast and varied e
sourc 9 OF the country. It will Sc
cure direct communication by river
and rail. from Helena to the mouth
Of the Mississippi. 1t will becomes
check upon all other roads and
cheaper transportation by water. by
securing q supply OF freight In .ex-
ports and imports to and from the
head of navigation. 1t will open up
a vast region of country rich Ia mth-
erals aud fertile in coil, contribute to
our trade and increase u popula-
ton. 1t will enhance the value Of
real property, impart new life to
every department Of business. and
stimulate every enterprise and indus
try. 1t will invite capital and secure
its Investments 1t will disslpate all
apprehenslons of the removal Of the
capital, and eventually result In the
erection Of public buildings suitable
for such . metropolis. 1t will give
US advantage, In the transportation
Of passengers aud shipment OF freight
which will establish here that p0pu-
lous city which it Is conceded now
will somewhere be built along the
transcontinental line. 1t will dts
burse the moneys invested in con.
structing, maintainingand operating
this road. among our people ut home,
instead Of paying it over to foreign
capitalize ami coutract0rs."
\ The principal reason, however, is
in the fact that q road from Helena to
Butte will enable Helena merchants
to lay down goods in the latter city
during Fix months in the year one
hundred per cent. cheaper than they
can be laid down by any all rail
route. This advantage will virtually
make Helena the jobbiny trade cen
ire of the Territory and give 1t an
importance as q distributing point it
never enjoyed since its early bis ory.
With the road in the hands of Hele-
ma ! it ~ill be worked in the
interest. of Helena. That city a

no one knows it better than her cap.

the road being built. It is only q
question of time.

THE NEVADA SENATORSHIP,

The Democratic minority of the
United States Senate will doubtless
be strengthened by the successor of
Jones, of Nevada. NJ. jones' term
expires next March. He will not be
reelected again. Governor Kink-
head, who is a Republican, looks
gloOmily upon the situation. He
says, in an intervie ", that there is
NJ hope for Jones, but that "John
w. Mackey is declared to be an as.
pirant," and that Mrs. Mackey, who
makes her home in Paris, "would
like to pose there as the wife of a
United States Senator" Therefore,
the Governor thinks that ''John
may chuck enough into the pot to
cause a winning DEAL" But If he
should decline or refuse to 60 into the
Senate while Fair is there, with
whom he is not on good terms,n
why, then, the Democrats may elect
another man In the person of M. N.
Stone. of Virginia City. This is a
comprehensive programme. and Gov
ernor Kinkhead puts it out with in
nocent force. If MI. Mackey is to
buy his way to the Senate only to
improve Mrs. Mackey's social status
in Paris, somewhat Impaired by her
row with Meissonier, an exchange
says, we hope something may occur
to prevent. MI. Stone is a deserving
young lawyer, a member of the once
famous Sherrod Williams family of
Kentucky, a sound Democrat, and
who won national reputation by ap-
pearing In Senator Fairs celebrated
case.

Assionmpnt of Mr.. A. ScbuItz

Mr.. A. Schultz, wholesale fancy groceries, 1872
East Third street, assigned yesterday to J. W.
Bishop, president of the St. Paul Trust company,
for the benefit of his creditors. From his at
torney, Charles Y. Bell, Esq, it is ascertained
that his Indebtedness is about IS, coo and his as
sets in stock, accounts, notes, etc, foot up to
$4,000. The assignment was fastened by the
suit of A. o. Teeple on $3.50 promissory note
garnisheeing Zegler & Betz and Amah Bros which
was filed in the district court yesterday morning
Mr.. Bell says thas the assignment was necessi-
tated by hardness of customers in paying up and
a falling off in sales, but that Mr.. Schultz will
pull out, paying dollar for dollar and have good
margin left. The largest creditor is Hospes &
Co., of this city for S2500 Endorsed by Mr.
Schultz in buying out partnership in the con-
Germ The second next creditor in size is f
DRYER of New York city, for 81 900. the others
ranging under that amount, two each being Mil
yankee firms, two Philadelphia, and one each in
Boston, Richmond and Louisville.
A prominent fact brought out by this assign
ment is the acceptance of the St. Paul Trust COM
pany of the position of assignee, il being its first
experience of the kind since the establishment
of its prosperous business about year ago and
the consequent notification that il will make such
financial adjusticatious part of its legitimate
work in the future. The ST. Paul Trust company
is well fixed to take such business on its hands.
rs II comes outside the legal requirement on be-
coming assignee To give bonds to double the
amount of the indebtedness of the assignor, as
it has 500, 900 deposited with the state auditor
as such security bonds.

out OF the country. but neither the police or the
railroad people are willing TO admit thSt this is
so, and thus the matter stands ST the present
