The Grover Investigation.

Local political circles have had
something to talk about during the
Grover Investigation by the Senate
Committee at Portland The detailed
report of the testimony, as given to
the readers of the Oregonian by the
short hand reporter, contains, as usu-
al in such cases, large amount of
mere stuff, heresay, rumors, and vague
and random gossip foreign to the sub
ject of investigation. While there
does not appear to be any positive
evidence to sustain the charge of
bribery, evidence that would convict
in a court of justice, there is sufficient
circumstantial evidence to render it
morally certain that corrupt means
were used, by somebody, in the cleo
ton OF Gov. Grover to a seat in the
L. S. Senate from Oregon. The in
vestlgation originated in and is being
carried through by the desire to make
political capital. 1t is a little game
of politics, and. on the whole, dirty
looking business from any point of
view. Were it not that the sins of
politicians are these days so easily
condoned, there would be danger of
Grover losing his political head; but
as it is, it will only ache for time,
then assume its equilibrium and be all
right for another Democratic cam
paign. Investigation is becoming
fashionable. 1t is a sharp dodge of
politicians to give notoriety to some
body. If a member of Congress wants
to checkmate rival on the political
chess board, he calls for some kind of
an investigation. Done of course at
government expense. Informal, of
course, SO as to open the flood gates
and let in the deluge of gossip and
rumor, thereby concealing, under the
guise of an investigation, a flank
movement in politics. Such is the
sum and substance of the Grover in
vestigation, SO far as its managers are
concerned. If it shall in its reaction
aid the cause of honesty in politics,
so much will be gained for the cause
of truth.

When there is a continual dropping down

inflammation Of the nasal cavities and throat,
with hawking, splitting, and a sense Of fullness
about the head, be not deceived or fancy it a
simple cold. You are afflicted with that scourge
of this climate. Catarrb, the forerunner of
Consumption. In it's early stages few bottles
Of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy will effect an
entire cure. When confirmed, DIR. Pierces

connection with the Remedy. These standard
medicines have been before the public many
years, aud their use has been attended with
the most gratifying success. A full discussion
Of Catarrh and its rational treatment is con-

NapOleOn,s Wonderful Memory.

The Emperor Napoleon was at Erfurt.
A legion of kings and princes had come
to humble their crowns before his re-
gent royalty. At one Of the soirees
which he gave at this brilliant court the
conversation turned on an ancient pom
tifical bull, about the date of which
there was some doubt. An Austrian
prelate indicated a period which the
formed than Your Majesty on such sub
jects," said the prelate, "and | think 1
am certain of what l state" "And for
my part" said The Emperor, 81 do not
say ] believe; I say am certain you are
deceived. Besides, the truth may he
easily ascertained; let such work be
brought, and if / am wrong will hasten
to acknowledge it."
The book was brought. The Emperor
was right. The whole assembly were
astonished at such an excellent memory
on the part of one whose head was con-
stantly occupied by a crowd of other
subjects.
"When I was Lieutenant, 4"
said the Emperor-these simple words,
"when / was q Lieutenant" produced
singular effect on all present all the
representatives of the old monarchies
looked at each other, smiling. "When
had the honor to be Lieutenant of
artillery" continued the Emperor in a
louder tone, 81 remained two years in
garrison in q city of Dauphine, which
had but single circulating library, /
read three times the whole collection,
and not a word of what read at that
period ever escaped me. The title of
the book which has just been brought
figured on the list. / read it with the
rest, and, as you have seen, have not
forgotten its contents. boston Tran

THE TERRITORY OF HURON.

Its Proposed Geogra phical Position and
the Reasons for Creating II.
The bill to establish tho Territory of
Huron and provide for temporary gov
eminent therefor, which recently passed
the Senate of the United States, pro-
poses to create the new Territory out of
the northern portion of Dakota. The
measure has been before Congress for
the past four years, and having passed
the Senate, now goes to the House OF
Representatives for the concurrence of
that body. The present Territory of
Dakota contains 150,95 square miles,
and the new Territory would have an
area of about 1000 square miles, 1t is
to be a parallelogram, extending from
Minnesota on the east for something less
than 400 miles to Montana on the west,
and from the British Possessions on the
north 200 miles to the boundary of the
remaining Territory ON the south. Its
population is estimated at about 10, 900,
having received considerable accessions
by immigration since the taking of the
last census. 1t is said that one OF the
best farming regions in the United
States lies in the proposed new Terri
tory. Among the reasons given for the
passage of the bill is that the settlements
in the present Territory of Dakota are
comprised in two communities entirely
separate and distinct from their geog-
raphical, position. The inhabited por-
ton of Southern Dakota, the old settled
portion of the Territory, is along the
Missouri river. Its commercial rela-
tions are with Nebraska, Sioux City, and
through Iowa to Chicago. Northern
Dakota, the portion which the bill pro-
poses to create into new Territory, is
settled for 200 miles along the proposed
Northern Pacific railway and along the
Red River of the North. It's CONNER,
cial relations are with Duluth, st. Paul,
and Milwaukee. The inhabitants of the
northern portion are often compelled in
winter to travel as far east as Chicago in
order to reach the capital, Yankton, in
the southern part of the Territory, there
being no direct means of communication
between the northern and southern por-
tions. 1t was at first proposed to call
the new Territory Pembina, but the
name was changed to Huron on the mo-
ton of Mr.. Bogy.
