THE ADMISSION OF DAKOTA.

The present Territory of Dakota has
15O,9S3 square miles. more than New
York. Pennsylvania. Ohio. and Mary
land put together. The people in the ex-
treme portions of State 80 vast must
have conflicting and varying interests
that will always give trouble to Its COVER
ment. It requires effort on the part of
the Illinois Legislature to harmonic the
different interests in the extreme portions
of this State. Yet Illinois has only
sc, $50 square miles to $50, 932 square miles
in Dakota. Already the differences be-
tween North and South Dakota are
marked. The people of the Territory,
with the exception, perhaps, of few
wealthy and ambitious persons, long ago
made up their minds for division, and
have conducted their public matters with
that in view. The public institutions of
the State have been built so as to place
no obstacle in the way of division. In
season and out of season have the people
memorialized Congress to divide the
Territory.

A Milwaukee & St. Paul Purchase of Inter-
est to Austin.
The latest railway rumor is to the ef-
feet that the Milwaukee & St Paul has
purchased the rights and franchises of
the proposed Hayward, Superior &
Southern. This road is to be built from
Hayward, in Sawyer county, Wis, to Su.
perior and Duluth, with a line running
south from Hayward to connection
with the Milwaukee & St. Paul at Eau
Claire or Chippewa Falls. The new road
will be about seventy-five miles long and
will be built through rich timber coun-
try. If the purchase has been made, the
new road will be made a portion Of the
Chippewa Valley division of the Milwau
kee & St. Panl, and will give thst road a
Lake Superior outlet. This will give that
country four eastern roads-M1waukee
& st. Paul, Omaha, Wisconsin Central &
Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Northern.
The Milwaukee g. 81. Paul will aso prob
ably build south from Wabasha by way
of Rochester to Austin. or some other
point on the Southern Minnesota divi-
sion. This will give 1t direct line from
the southern part of the state to Lake Su-
perior.-Pioneer Press, It'll.

HISTORIC DAY.


We doubt if the people of this country
fully realized the fact that the burial of
an historic character took place last Sat-
urday; a man whose name will stand in
the pages of history as Frederick the
Greats. as Napoleon's. as Wellington's,
as Washington's, as Lincoln's does. The
farther we get from this day, the brighter
will Grants name shine. Washington
name is vastly brighter now than it was
the day he died. So is Lincoln's. The
grave burles in oblivion only the faults
and errors of great man. His better
qualities and his good deeds defy the
grave. Only the dross Of great charac-
ter is buried with his body. The virtues
are withheld from the grave. They live
in the minds Of men and on the pages of
history. As it has been with other great
characters, so it will be with Grant; his
follies and faults were buried, but his
great deeds will be gathered together for
eternal preservation; and they will shine
all the brighter, and appear all the more
glorious, from being separated from his
errors.
Lincoln and Grant mark an epoch in
American history. They will be known
and remembered as long as the history of
this country is read. Immortal fame is
not vouchsafed to many men, but Grant
has achieved it.
Such . man, We repeat, marks an epoch
in nations history. And in this time
we live; and We lay in the grave the NOR
tai remains of Ulysses s. Grant, one of
tho few immortals. The gathered multi
tude of Saturday will die and DO forgot
ten as the beasts and the birds die and
are forgotten; but the name Of Z. s.
Grant will live forever.

the United States Revenue Collectors Of
fee, informed an editor Of the Daily
Press, of this city, that for seven years
he suffered terribly from rheumatism in
his ankle, which most of the time was
swollen to two or three times Its natural
size, and was so painful that he could
not put his foot to the ground. After
trying everything he could think of with
out obtaining relief, he at ten o'clock
one morning applied St. Jacobs Oil, and
shortly afterwards, made two futher ap-
plications. At three o'clock that after.
noon the pain was gone; the swelling
manent as it was quick.

NOTWITHSTANDING the distressing
financial disasters suffered by her husband,
Mrs. Grant will be the richest of any Of
the widows Of our presidents from Wash
ington to Grant. Mrs. Grant will have
the income of the $3.50, 900 fund, raised
mainly by Mr.. Jones Of Of the New York
Times. Congress will promptly vote her
the usual annuity of IS, 600 which is given
to all widows Of ex-presidents She will
have the proceeds Of Gen. Grants auto

She will be subject to little or no expense
attending the long illness Of her husband,
and her estate will not be less than $500,
600, exclusive Of the assured 5000 an

some five years ago was fortunately put

many against. France and Russia, the
fact may he taken as a pretty good guar
antee of peace. Germany, with immense

A BosToN correspondent of the Min
neapolis Tribune. refers IN this manner
to the poor shop girl of that city who
gets the princely allowance of 81 per
week, out of which she Is to pay room
rent. board and clothing. She finds it
rather hard work to maintain an honest
grasp upon her immortal soul, and so when
the gentlemanly devil steps in, who some
times is the owner of the store where the
poor girl works. and says: Better let
me take care of your soul; it's hardly
worth your while to let it be burden to
you, and this is going to be hard year
souls" no wonder she fallers. If
this kindly persuasion fails, the
alienation is often the giving up of
the soul, or the situation. It's no
wonder that the cIsven-footed general so
often succeeds with his victims.

SET OF POLITICAL OPINION.

The set of political opinion is most
decidedly in favor of the Government.
The persistent attacks that have been
made on the Administration without
any basis of fact upon which to JUS
tify them, naturally enough Disguised
every impartial man in the Kingdom,
whether originally friendly to the
Administration or not. But the i'm
proved methods adopted by the Gov
eminent in it's management of public
affairs, as was so pertinently put by
our Hilo correspondent in yesterdays
ADVERTISER, have done still more to
make friends and supporters for them.
Newspaper vituperation, dictated by
personal malice and disappointed am
bitioR, do not count against the facts
which are brought daily before the
public eye. There can be no question
whatever that the Administration
has done more good and substantial
work with the means at it's disposal
than any previous one accomplished.
Residents of rural districts appreciate
this fact, and so de owners of property
everywhere on these Islands; and we
are convinced that the vindication of
the Government in the coming cleo
tions will be thorough and complete.
Until then we presume there will be
q continuance of the abusive and I'M
truthful attacks referred to above.
When the popular verdict is given,
however, we fancy there will be a
cessation of this kind of political war
fare, because the men who now find
Che coin for these publications and
stand in ambush, will be forced to the
conviction that they are wasting their
money, which, as rule, they de-
cidedly object to do.

THE CHINESE IN CALIFORNIA.

The recent report of the Committee
Of the Board of Supervisors of San
Francisco on the sanitary condition
Of Chinatown has been discussed by
the Press of the United States with
more impartiaIity than has hereto
fore been the case. The facts are so
glaring that the social and moral
evils represented by them cannot be
ignored. The New York 'tTimes"
blames the Supervisors for not en-
forcing the municipal ordinances
covering sanitary matters against the
Chinese. This is not the duty Of the
Board but of the police, and when
attempts were made to enforce them
very often the United States Courts
ruled the ordinances unconstitutional.
Then, again, the Chinese, by e1ecting
to go to Jail instead of paying fines,
practically nullified the ordinances,
because there was not Jail accommo-
dalton sufficient for one in every
ten who might have been convicted
for breaches of the health ordinances.
The result has been the triumph of
Chinese filth, crime and immortality
over law, order and public decency.
The present Board of Supervisors,
in view of these facts, drafted a new
ordinance to meet the case, which
has been submitted to the law officers
of the city and county to pass upon
its constitutionality. One of the
points involved is whether owners of
Chinese lodging houses can be held
responsible for breaches of municipal
ordinances occurring in them,
although let to other parties. This
is doubtful, but if such an ordinance
could be enforced it would catch a
great many hypocrites, as the
"Chronicle'' very aptly remarks,
who are forever bowling against the
Mongols, while they derive their
living from leasing their property to
Chinese tenants.
The Chinese and native quarters of
Honolulu, although not so bad in a
sanitary point of view as the Chinese
quarter of San Francisco, are never
theless in a very bad condition, and
ahouid be looked after by the Board
NJ Health. Owners of property in
those districts should be compelled to
ahate nuisances deleterious to health.
This Is certainly within the power of
the Health Department and it

Indians Gathering Grasshoppers.

During the present week there has been
a large band of Indians along Butte
creek gathering a grasshopper harvest
The men and children have succeeded in
capturing large quantities of the pests,
and yesterday they brought to town twelve
large bags of them. They drove them
into pits with branches from trees, and
the catch was easily made. The Indians
have way of taking the legs and wings
from the hoppers by pressing upon bags
containing them, leaving only the bodies.
The harvest is turned over to the squaWs,
who convert it into flour and then into
bread. The hoppers are ground into a
fine powder in stone mortars, after the
fashion of grinding their maize
Old-timers who have eaten grasshopper
bread say that it has pleasant taste. not
unlike that made from wheat -four, and
that it is just as nourishing. The In
dams prize it more highly than wheat
bread. The process of drying the hopper
Is an interesting sight The insects are
spread upon canvas stretched upon the
ground in sunny spot, and are turned
and returned with the same care that a
perfect cook would hot cakes to keep
them from scorching. The insects un,
dergo this sort of treatment for nearly a
week, at the end of which time they are
as dry as leaves and easily powdered.
To the Indians this is now land of
plenty, since grasshoppers can be cap
tured by thousands with but little effort

A BIG SUIT.

A suit has been instituted in the
Superior Court of San Francisco by
E. F. Ohm, at one time a jeweler IN
that city, to recover from the city
81, 50O,O00 mesne profits on certain
lands held under Mexican pueblo
grant up to August, 1885, and $780,
900 a month from and after that date.
It appears that the tract in question
was granted to one Sherrebeck, a
Dane and Mexican citizen before the
annexation of California, and was
fenced, built on aud occupied by him
for agricultural purposes; that after
the annexation, under the Act OF
Congress validating Mexican grants,
Sherrebeck's title was confirmed by
Judge Hoffman, then, as now, Judge
of the District Court; but that in his

through certain technical defects
Judge Sawyer's order was invalid,
but that even were this not so, the
title to the land in question is not
affected, as it was vested in the city
and county of San Francisco; and
Ohm, who holds by succession OF
deeds from Sherrebeck and one Sui
Ivan, prays that the municipality be
adjudged to have held the land in
question as trustee, and should be

and profits accruing therefrom. The
improvements upon this property are
valued at nearly $SO,OOO,0OO. It COM
