JUDITH BASIN, Oct. 1S, 1886.
EDIroRs ARGUS In looking over
your issue of the l4th inst. I noticed
an article from MIR. Granville Stuart,
an enterprising stOckman of this
county, referring to certain acts passed
by the / 4th legislative assembly, claim
ing that insinuatiOns have and are be-
ing made that that body was to II
great extent governed or controlled by
the cattle kings of Montana. !, as a
silent on-looker, have heard such
charges made against our last legisla-
ture, and will further state that have
heard a great many citizens of our
territory maintaining that most OF
the laws passed by that body favored
capital rather than the
of the country. 1t has also been fire.
auently stated that the four great in
terests of this territory, viz: mining
kings, railroad kings, cattle kings and
bankers have been and are the favored
ones.
Now, | would like to ask Mr.. Stuart
what he thinks of u certain act passed
by the last legislature in regard to
stock killed by railroads. II my
memory serves me right the act provi'
des that only twO-thirds Of the as.
sessed value of an animal killed by
railroads in our territory can be col
lected under the act. would ask Mr..
Stuart il he does not think that the
passage of ehe above act goes to prove
that IN 8, Urfnt nlpa sure. he railroads
are running Montana instead of the
LEGISLATURE! will state here that the
policy of our Lawmakers should be
Equal rights to all and special rights
to nOne."
Now | will ask where is there n law
governing the rate of interest to be
charged by the bankers of our terri
tory? I know that there is a law al.
lowing them to charge whatever rate
of interest they feel disposed tOask.

Ina recent sermon in London. Henry

One week from next Tuesday occurs
our biennial election. On that day
the people Of the new county of Fergus
will choose their officers for the ensu-
ing two years. DO We realize the im-
portance Of this election? is the ques-
tion. II is quite an easy matter to
take up the work Of retiring officer
in an old blishe,l county com pared
to the duties devOlved in starting the
machinery OF new one. 1t is half
of the battle to get started right.
and we want officers who possess a
large degree Of common sense and some
experience in the line of the office to
which they aspire. Both tickets pos
sess good nlen-in one or two instances
it is nip and tuck, and nothing but
fealty to party can or should decide
the contest. This is happy conclu-
sion for the people who are to be
served il not to the candidate who
fails to reach the goal. We want men
in office who are genial, capable and
accommodating-men who will he as
cordial and attentive to the wants
of the hartlworking ranchman rs to
the man who wears cOrsets and a
piccadilly collar.
Every legal voter should exercise
the franchise and in careful manner
Great power lies in the ballot for good
or evil. Those who stay at home on

We are also called upon to cast our
votes for a delegate to congress. The
two parties are waging friendly but
earnest contest for supremacy. In
some instances, perhaps, the hirlings
Of the press are crawling on their
bellies to fulfill their obligations, but
otherwise the campaign is progressing
upon an elevated plain. The vile
methods and personalities Of the east
have happily been omitted from thu
contest. The intelligent voter will
stand firmly by his party and his
candidate. Now and then man will

On Monday morning John DeGraves,
the hack driver who was arrested the
previous evening with Lightweight tins of
opium in his possession, was brought up
in the Police Court, charged with having
opium in possession. When asked
whether he pleaded guilty or not, he
stated that on Sunday evening he went
on board the Consuelo, leaving his hack
on the wharf After a short converse
ton with the Second Mate, he came on
shore and was about to get into his hack,
when a Chinaman came along and asked
him to carry a bundle for him in his
hack and meet HIM on School street with
it. DeGraves drove off, but had not
gone very far when his hack was stopped
and young man jumped in. He asked
DeGraves what he had got in the bundle,
and he said he did not know. 1t was
examined, and found to contain opium.
DeGraves of course said he was much
surprised. He was then taken to the
Station House, and now stands re-
manded until the 18th. Bail was fixed
at $500, but he has not been able to OBJ
