Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1888-03-29

Owing to the crowded condition oil
our columns last week, editorial refer.
ence to the annual statement OF county
affairs was omitted. On the whole it
is . very creditable showing. There
may be some chance for fault finding
and criticism. Life would be q burden
to some people IL this privilege was
denied them. Most men know by
their own experience what it is to get .
start in life. The organization Of .
new county, with ell it's machinery in
operation 10 not dissimilar to the
experience Of the individual. The
struggle comes at the very outset.
Upon organization the count y stood
in debt to Meaghsr county in the sum
OF $lS,l56.56. With this inheritance
from the parent county, on the debit
side of the ledger, it began the struggle
for existence. When the rainbow OF
promise had arched above her people
and all branches OF industry were in
a Aourishing condition, old Boreas
came down from the north and in his
fury destroyed . million dollars worth
OF assessabls property. This was .
severe blow to come in the very first
year Of our independence. Yet for all
this the young county came forward
with an assessment roll aeeregating
over two million and half dollars, from
which taxes were raised to maintain
county government. In starting, the
county has been unfort unate in some
respects. Segregation from an old |
county made it necessary to procure
two sets Of records, in addition to which |
was the cost Of transcribine from the
Meagher county records. Our first two
terms of court were very costly, wit.
ness lees alone amounting to over
$1,000. Our first grand jury rooted
up all Of the accumulated evil doinRs
n years past, which entailed heavy
'osts. but which may yet prove the
sisest thing that could have been done.
court expenses, We believe. will eradu.
lily grow less, while records, station.
ny, etc., will cut but . small figure.
There are many items Of expense to

had put on the words "dust of the ground" "
The standards simply quote the words of
the Bible, but do not say what they mean.
They do not say that the dust was
organic cr inorganic, and they had
no right to condemn man
for believing either way. DR.. Woodrow
may wrongly interpret the Scripture SO
may we. lie never knew Dr. Woodrow
until he came here, and he stood in defense
of the church. He could not say whether
he believes in DIR. Woodrows theory, or
does not believe in it, because he was ignor-
ant on tho subject. He hoped the spirit of
all truth will guide the determination of this
assembly, He spoke of the wonders of
science, and, especially, of the telegraph
by which immediate communication can be
had across the sea, showing progress of
science not dreamed Of a fow years ago.
A greeting was received from the Cum
berland Presbyterians, in session at Waco,
Tex, which was referred.
The session adjourned until o'clock to-
morrow morning, when the case of DR..
Woodrow will be resumed.

IT WAS A BOGUS BILL.
The $5,ooo,oOo Offer of Bonds Being
Investigated.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Acting Secre-
tary Thompson to-day received offers for
the sale of bonds to the government, as fol-
lows: Is, coupon, $1,000 at 1913; As, regis
tered, 81, 100000 at 1913, $50. 900 at 1913, 500
at 1877; a.. coupon, $4,000 at 1Os, s5OO.0OO
at 1885,, $4,000 at 10815, $500 at 107%,
ex-interest, $3.50 at 10S; total offerings,
81, 127, 100.
Acting Secretary Thompson to-day ac-
cepted Sc, 600 bonds in small lots at 127 for
4s and 10S for AIS.
1t is now definitely settled that the offer
to sell the government $3.50, 900 worth of
bonds, made in the name of well-known
Philadelphia firm, was straw bid solely
intended to affect the stock market. The
firm, whose named was used, informed the
department to-day that they did not
make the offer, and that they did not know
who did. They promised to aid the author
tiles in any way that might lead to the dis
covery of the person who had used their
name without authority. The matter is
being thoroughly investigated and it is
deemed best by Acting Secretary Thomp-
son to withhold the details Of the affair
from the public for the present.

CLERKS OF POSTMASTERs.
The President Transmits an Important.
Veto Message.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-In the Senate to-
day message from the President, return
Ing without his approval the Senate bill for
the relief of l.. j. Warden, was laid before
the Senate. The bill directs an allowance of
S62j to Mr.. Warden, recently a postmaster
at Lawrenceville, Kan, for extra clerk
hire from July l, 1882, to June 80, 1888.
Ihe grounds of the veto are that the allow
ances OF pOstmasters for clerk hire are fixed
by the Post Office Department; that in his
case So, 100 was allowed; that applications
for additional allowance were twice de-
chn9d; that the expenses, therefore, were
incurred at the postmaster's own risk;
and that the passage of special
accounts in such cases would
have dangerous tendency to
encourage postmaSters to substitute their
own Judgment for that of the department,
and to relax Wholesome discipline The
President adds that the time allowed by the
constitution for the approval of bills ex-
pired in this case on May 10; that the SEN
ate adjourned from May II till May q;
that the message was drawn and engrossed
on May IS; that on May 10 the message and
bill were taken to the Secretary
OF the Senate, who declined to re-
ceive them that they were then
rendered the President of the Senate, who
also declined to receive them on the ground
that they could only be presented 10 the
Senate in actual session, and that they were,
therefore, transmitted as soon as the Senate
convened yesterday with this explanation.
Mr.. Hoar rema; lIed that the communica-
tion raised very important constitutional
question to which the Senate should give its
careful consideration. He, therefore,
moved its reference to the Committee on
Privileges and Elections. This was agreed
