of Italy will show that in this line two

yards, and its depth is to he about IS
yards, so that ships of any tonnage, and
even men-of-war, will be able to pass
through it. The cost Of the canal is
reckoned at 500, 900, 900 francs, that is,
eco, 600, 900. 1t is estimated that the
work could be completed in five years
from It's commencement. The Italian
journals are highly interested in the pro-
ject and are taking up the matter
warmly, and when the edct Of the long

as follows: 'Fittest Of vIsages were

a Aat, smith, abominable face; Hat nosed,

THE CORRECT METHOD.

As will he seen by the action OF the
Board of County Commissioners, IN
special session this week, the clerk is
ordered to notify the assessor to
complete II thorough Assessment OF
all the persons and property in Fergus
county as soon as possible, and make
a supplementary report OF the same
to the Board of County Commission
ers accordingly. And should he fail
to perform his duty as above indi-
Gated. he will he held liable ON his
bond
Every taxpayer i'm Fergus county
will endorse this action OF the board.
There are evidences on every hand
that "a careful and thorough ASSESS
ment of the county was not made by
Mr.. Gurnett. and it is important that
it should he done. Had n careful
assessment been made it is believed
by those in position to speak mtelll-
gently, that the assessment would
have equaf1el that OF last year, at
least.
The man who is paid IA liberal sal
airy should perform his duties faith
fully. Under the salary law the pay
of the assessor was such as to make
the office desirable one. Next year
the assessor will perform his labor'
under the Zee system. and we predict
more satisfactory results. 1t is thu
correct method. The salary OF the
assessor depends upon the size OF the
total assessment, and personal inter
est will stimulate greater endeavor

GET OUT THE VOTE.

Owing to the fact that both Fergus
and Park counties have nominated
for the council it is quite
necessary, in order to secure represent
tation in that body, that Fergus
county east every vote she can muster
on next Tuesday. We believe Fergus
county contains more voters than
Park. but is more difficult, perhaps.
to get out full vote. Many of our
voters are scattered over II wide range
of country. far from any polling
places frequently. and it will require
some urging and trouble to secure
their ballots. but no time or expense
should he spared. Frank X. Stoddard
or. Granville Stuart should represent
Fergus county in the council next
winter. This county would he ably
and faithfully represented by eithe ol
them. We are entitled to the coun-
Gilman from every honorable stand
point, and Park county has displayed
bad taste in not making the conces-
sion. Our experience in outside rep
resentation has cost us dearly, but to
avoid a repetition we must get out
every vote. See that it is done.

When the republican platform announced

quit, however; the cry being kept up by
only few Of their speakers. among whom
are some of our Montana orators. Tho
who still attempt the point seem to forget
that for u long series Of y ears the demo-
cratic party demanded the unconditional
repeal OF all the internal revenue laws. and
rs recently as ss4 they denounced il as
"a war tax" and in 1858 the democracy
OF Virginia, in convention assembled char
acterized the internal revenue AS "a nursery
of spies and informers, menacing elections.
an intolerable burden on the tax payers,
and source Of greatest corruption" The
removal Of internal taxation means that
much more revenue for the individual
states, and that only. At any rate demo
ctats should be the last ones to howl. for
the record Of their party is against
them aud in favor OF this very policy.

APPROACHING THE END.

The great political struggle which
has been waged throughout the United
States for weeks past will soon be
over. Before the ARGUS appears
again. either Grover Cleveland will he

Harrison, of Indiana, will be called to
the high position the former now
occupies. The contest has hardly had
a parallel in the history OF the nation,
30 rar Hs har1f work and efttt llt.ssites
are concerned. There have been more
speakers in the field than ever before,
and the tariff QUESTION has been handled
with rare ability. But the most graft
fying feature of the whole campaign is
the freedom from personalities and
mud throwing OF the past. Up to
present date the contest has been alike
honorable to both parties. What
will transpire during the remaining
days of excitement and high tension
OF party strife, remains to he seen.
Which party stands the best show
OF winning is now largely guess work,
AS most men are biased by their feel
ings i'm making predictions. The re-
| publicans feel sure of New York, lndi-
ana and Connecticut, while the demo
Gratis dispute this claim. They claim
these states with possibility OF carry

he no question about the doubtful
attitude of New York, owing to va
rious causes. One party has just a.
GOOD reasons for claiming it as the
other, though their elements Oi strength

We. the citizens Of Maiden, object to the
untruthful utterances and attacks made
by Rudolf won Tobel ON the night of Oct.
25th at this place.
First-ln his uttera nces he accused Hon.
Granville Stuart Of trying to iniure the
people Of the territory by passing injurious
laws. to the detrimcnt of the MASSES.
Second--Ile represented him Ms trying to
have u man hanged who had made an as
-aut on an unarmed man.
In the first charge the speaker grossly
misrepresented the facts, aud deserves only
to he mentioned that he may he despised.
In the second charge he took unreliable
authority. as every prominent Republican
in town will acknow ledge. Won Tobel
seems to delight in airing his personal ami
mosities. and when he cannot find true
ones he draws from his imagination, whici
is vivid and base. No gentleman Of high
estate would indulge in sIandering Others.
There is something unsound about the man
who has never n good word for any one.
