which is laid in Grande Itonde valley.
The story, however, is not founded
on fact, lint is purely a product of the
imagination.
The secretary of the interior has
reversed the decision of the commiss
ioner of the general land olllco of Feb
ruary, 1880, in tho case of Donald
McKca vu. the Northern I'aHllo. The
question at Usui was whether the
Northern l'auilio has a errant of lauds
from Portland, Oregon, to l'ugct
sound, AVnshiiigton territory, a dis
tance of about forty miles. The com
missioner found that the company
had no grant.. This decision of the
secretary reversed that, and linds tint
the joint resolution of congress, ap
proved May .".1 , 1870, makes a grant
of land between said points.
I'urehni-crA of goods will be benefit
ed, in the long run, by making it a
a rule to niil'oiiizo, exclusively, the
merchants who advertise. The rea
son for this is obvious. Tho wide
awake merchant who has, or thinks
he bus, bargains to offer will invaria
bly make it known by judicious adver
tising, and haying an ambition to get
all (ho trade possible will offer every
inducemeni to secure it. It is a great
deal more pleasant and prolitable to
deal with this kind of a man than if is
with one of the opposite kind, who,
having nothing to offer, has nothing
tosav,and who sits inside of his es
tablisriinent wailing for cuslbiners to
intrude themselves, and insist ou
buying something.

they have squatted and fenced in with
out paying the company for them.
Thin Summer over 950,
000 has been expended upon the road,
and about 200 men are now at work
along various portions of it, repairing
the damage done by landslides, wash
outs, etc. In view of thcc facts it is
evident that the lalid grant has been
honestly earned and should not be
forfeited." Since the lands along
the line of this road have become val
uable, we have no doubt that the
company woulo be willing to put a
few more men at work, if it would
make innt'crs look better and
strengthen their case any. Verily the
world is full of corruption, and the
average legal tribunal a farce.

The lunatic (ieorge Francis Train is
creating considerable stir in Chicago,
and is exercising his twisted intellect
in behalf of the condemned anarchists.
The Hxaminer has the following
from Chicago: (ieoi-tro Francis Train
delivered a lecture in the l'rinccss
theatre, this afternoon, to a small au
dience. A part, of the lecture, if lit
erally reported, would read like a
nightmare. ' ISciug born on a moun
tain top," said .Mr. Train, "I. saw
you couldn't hang seven men in
Chicago for committing no crime.
(Creat applause) I ant going to move
Jiero and settlo down. All in favor
of my living here say 'aye.' (Ayes
vociferously granted) You hang
those seven men if you dare, and 1
will head L'( i,00(), 000 workingtneu to
cut. the throats of everybody in Chica
go, All in in favor of cutting the
throats of everybody in Chicago say
ay',' (Ayca given with a roar of
laughter) How canyon convict men
of being accessories to a crime for
which there is no principal V ' ho sud-dr-tilx
shouted. 'Furthermore, how
are IIicmj men accessories, and why
should they hang? My similar ribbon

ought to have hung for tiring ou Fort

fomented, and Mayor llnni-un and

nitarrhM leaders to incite tho lluy

A vole was then taken on a proposi
tion to hang day tionld to a lamp
post, and uunnimouly carried.

To the editor of the Ohkook f-'cocT.
AVnshinglon, Oct. fith, 1387,
In administration circles it is given
on t that tlio next important question
for consideration is li e appointment
of suitable members of the joint High
Commission to adjust the fishery
troubles with our Canadian neighbors
and it is understood that Secretary
Hayard linds great dillictilly in secur
ing the services of capable men for
these positions of inter-national trust,
as it is thought to be a thankless and
profitless work, the Until issue of
which is involved in the most hcwil
tiering perplexity and uncertainty.
It is expected thai the Commission
will also itnderl-ike the settlement of
the disputed boundary between the
United Slates and Hritish Columbia,
adjust the jurisdiction "of the United
Sltttes over llchring Strait, and also
consider the question of reciprocal
commercial relations between the
Unilcd States and Canada.
It appears that full confidence iias
been restored in financial circles by
tho action of ihe Treasury in purchas
ing bonds, by which means about
thirty millions have been added to
tho volume of the country's circulat
ing medium within the past fortnight,
thus dispelling, at least for the
present, all fears of general commer
cial distress. And now that, the
bieakers are supposed to have been
safely passed, it is apparent that,
outside of Wall street, the danger was
more imaginary than real, lor the
general business situation was and is
as good or blter than usual before
Ihe government came to tho rescue of
commerce. In proof of this, I have
to offer the records of the Treasury
Department which show that (here
are !?lo, 000,000 ntoro money in circu
lation nowthtin there was hist year.
