BEN Jam in) BUTLER.

There IS more trouble in store for
this administration. The dispatches
announce that the old Massachusetts
political chameleon is again bobbing
up serenely as a candidate for con
gress. This indicates that the old
general, unlike the wizard Of Gram
mercy Park, don't know when he is
dead. It also means that he has not
yet had all the fun he wants at the
expense Of the democratic party. II
old Ben should squeeze himself into
the house Of representatives there
would be a merrier circus than ever,
with himself as first clown, Laird and
Cobb as star performers and Holman
as trick mule. Probably the cock
eyed artist Of versatile genius would
be willing to take Cleveland's place
for a while and let the latter come out

FALSE ECONOMY.

ED. TRrBUNE-It is the poorest kind
Of economy for the County Commits
sicners to deny Great Falls a deputy
sheriff with salary enough to pay the
right kind of a man for accepting
such an appointment. There are to-
day more Of the class known as
FOUNDERS in Great Falls than in
Benton and Choteau combined; more
saloons are in successful operation
here; 0 gambling and more gamb-
ling money put into gambling than in
all the rest Of the county. In less
than two months with the grading on
the Montana Central, Montana North
ern and Sand Coulee branch, the
work on the water power and the
other operations about to be com
menced. this number of men will be
treblea. These operations will natur-
ally attract q lot Of desperadoes here.
and t%hefts, fights and shooting ARRAYS
will result. Now the presence of a
deputy sheriff and two constables
clothed with power to make arrests
and on the lookout for these charac-
tefs will have a salutary effect. The
bare presence Of these officers will
saw the county hundreds Of dollars.
Let there be one murder trial with
the necessary costs of from one to ten
thousand dollars, and in what light
will the parsimonious acts Of the
County Commissioners appear? Let
q few 0 toughs like those who
have lately been in town come here
and how soon will the multiplying
criminal cases cost ten times the sal
any Of a deputy sheriff. These are
matters which every taxpayer in Che
teau county is directly concerned in:
those in Fort Benton as much as these
here. Why is it that Fort Benton
with all its peace anil tranquility has
q sheriff, under sheriff and deputy,
while this town has none? What is
the reason that Great Falls cannot
procure the pitiful sum of 800 to ex-
pend On q road for which every man
south Of Belt creek and half Of Fort
Benton petitioned? and while Fort
Benton has a jail costing thousands
Of dollars, the citizens Of Great Falls
are not allowed 5000 to build d Gala
boose with. The commissioners may
continue this foolish policy towards
Great Falls for time, but there is
another day coming.
COMMON SENSE.

FABRICATES.

Major Woods, the hardy pioneer, has returned
from his visit to Great Falls, the ambitious baby
town at the headws.ers of tho Missouri, and
brings the information that as far as the drouth
is concerned the country surrounding Great
Falls can eclipse anything he has ever seen. The
grass is withered and seer, ard the only green
visible is that on the tips of the cottonwood
trees and imprinted on the faces of the fortune
seekers. Compared with that region the major
says that this section is a fair and verdant garden
with abundant rains and cooling zepbyrs. And
yet shortly after his arrival at the Falls the little
weekly paper at that place announced that Bis
mark was in a state of bankruptcy, that her citi-
zens were all leaving and this country had gone
to visit his satanic majesty. Bismarck Tribune.
1t is raining here very hard just as
we are cutting the foregoing from the
Bismarck Tribune. We do not claim
that we have not suffered severely
from lack Of rain but no more so than
the country about Bismarck. We
think the drouth is about a tie all
around, this year. However in spite
OF it our oat and wheat fields remain
green and will yield fairly we'll. The
rain which has fallen during the past
twenty-four hours has greatly reviv-
ed vegetation. This man Woods was
here some eight weeks ago, before the
drouth began. At that time the
grass was kept verdant by frequent
rains. Even now sswithered and seer"
only applies to a very small portion
Of it. Il that hardy pioneer" is cor
rectly reported, he must be in the
seer and yellow leaf mentally. The
little weekly" announced the arrival
Of Major Woods from Bismarck. He
was probably conceited enough to
draw from that item, the conclusion
that we considered Bismarck ruined.
And so he went back home humming
between his parched lips 80 what is
Bismarck without a Major Woods"
The capital city of Dakota is a splen-
did town surrounded by a garden of
Eden which suffers as this section does
onlyin such exceptionally dry seasons
as the present. After this it might be
we'll for the Bismarck Tribune to CON
suit the little weekly" before attribut-
ing to it comments which it never
made, instead of depending upon a
garrulous old man for a reprint.

a PET1TToS for q daily mail 70 Great
Falls has been forwarded to the post
office department. L the same en-
lightened craftsmanship and the same
minute knowledge Of the wants q
this section Of the country, are dis
played in this as in most other mat
tiers pertaining TO our interests, we will
undoubtedly get q daily ~ hourly
mail il the postmaster general him
self has to bring it on foot. It is an
outrage that we should be so sorely
neglected in this affair. The stage
runs by here daily, but owing to the
present postal arrangements our mail
from Benton is carried by to Sun Riv-
er where it lays yer for a day and is
then packed over the road back to
the Falls. Our eastern mail via Hell
n also takes a rest Of a day or two
at Sun River instead Of being brought
in a through pouch to Great Falls.
Some day u business men, filled
with righteous indignation will at
tack the passing Benton coach and
cut out their mail.

Gladstone's Lack of Experience.

Mr.. Gladstone is reported as saying
that he has never known what it is to
have a single sleepless night on c
count of a political crisis. Mr.. Glad
stone ought to go through one Of our

hit IN the neck while speaking, with a
political crisis in a bad state Of Dreser-
vation, and he would feel as though
he couldn't sleep for a EsteIl-

WATSE Mac WEIGH in his address
before the Yale law school discussed
the relations Ct the laboring mass and
the capitalist class. He said that it
would always be true under any pol
itioal system except q Utopian one,
that the best way Of creating proper
reverence Tor law is by taking care
that the law is worthy Of reverence.
by its singleness Of devotion to the
general welfare, that the best s%ecJlri-
ty for private property is in taking
care that it is only honestly acquired;
and that the best way of developing
9 patriotic spirit is by helping to make
and keep al the ministries Of the state
pure and beneticient. He said that
no class Of her citizens could do o
to help realize this high ideal of gov
ernment than the lawyers of a coun-
try. That is true andif Mn. Mac Weigh
had not been specially addressing law
students. he would have excepted the
editors Of q country, They WELD the

ing classes, FOR or against law.

The slight fall of rain on Wednes-

and the hopes Of anxious stockmen
and ranchmen. The only precedent
for this season is that OF 1880. How

and saved the grass and crops. We
hope for the same deliverance this
year and shall not lose faith in the

THE proposed horizontal reduction
Of the river and harbor bill by the
senate will insure the defeat Of that
measure this year at least. The hor-
izontal reduction will so cut into the
favorite house items that there will
be no argument, and it is not likely
that t~hepresident would sign a $40,
100000 bill such as the senate has
produ ced. The only way to get a
river and harbor appropriation is for
the senate and house to agree upon a
lump sum, say 100000 or S5,000,-
900, and leave it to be expended at
the discretion Of the secretary of war.

verest Lung troubles. It acts on an
entirely different principle from the
usual prescriptions given by Physi-

and leaves the disease still in the sys-

cause Of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in a purely
