The New York Post sees in the s'late over
turn" an inclination of the people toward
state rights.
1t was unklndir the immortal gods to leave
Talbot twenty thousand behind on the Re
publican ticket, in Massachusetts, just be-
cause he was cold-water man; but it was a
refinement of cruelty 10 threaten Boston and
the surrounding country with famine
so soon afterwards. This will be taken by
the people of Massachusetts as an intima.ion
that the exclusive drinking of water was not
intended by nature, and that If people will
not drink whskey they must, expect their
ponds to run dry.-St Louis Globe. ~ 81a
The Boston Advertiser, in denouncing the
prostitution of navy yards and other govern

Of the Democratic cabinet proposed by the
New York World, the Eoening Post Of that
city remarks :-"How does the country like
the prospect of such a. cabinet as this, in
which rebel general shall give orders to the
union armies, a man who returned fugitive
slave with his own hands shall preside over
the department of Justice and the father of
reputation shall have an influential voice?
Is this indeed the entertainment to which
the Democratic party invites the people Of
the United States % .,-..,- 4. ia.
Mr.. Gutter, the Democrat who defeated
VIM. Walter Phelps in New Jersey,has made
speech in which he declared ''the very idea
of free trade to be twin sister of secession
and reputation" and said that "the safety
Of the working people of this country lay in
The protection Of home industry" and his
Democratic audience appiauded. Mr.. Cutter
does not seem to be disciple of the New
York World, which now assumes to he the
mouthpiece of the revived Democracy.

A Triumph or Chemi., =,

Among the numerous health-gving discoveries of
pharmaceutical chemistry, none has achieved more
transcendent and lasting success than Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters OF course there is reason for
this. 1t would have been impossible to palm off for
nearly quarter of a century, upon shrewd peo-
tabished by mere adyei Using such reputation as
the Btters enjoy, they did not possess substan-
la title to public confidence. The truth of this state
ment is proved by the tact that bogus nostrums no
matter how extensively pulled, usually enjoy but
transient existence, then discovered to be worth
less, and discarded Hostetters Bitters, the con-
trary after career of twenty years, were never SO
popular as they are to-day Soon after their appear
ance it became manifest that they possessed in re-
markable degree the power of toning and regulating
the human system, and to-day they rank as the
standard restorative of the age. ri r1aa1 mo- f1s =

ATcHIsoN, Nov. 22.-The Daily Champion
publishes from the advance sheets an official
report made to the State Board of Agriculture,
statistics showing the restitution existing in
several frontier counties of the state. Seven
teen counties in which an aggregate of $4,000
acres have been planted in corn, produced not a
bushel. Eve Of these counties produced an
average crop of wheat, rye, oats, barley and
buckwheat, and are abundantly able to relieve
any individual cases of restitution in their
midst. The other twelve counties, having an
aggregate population Of $4,000, are all on the
remote frontier, and the settlements in them
have all been made within three years. The
eight in which the greatest desttution prevails
have been populated within the past year or two,
and the greater part of their population settled
in their limits either last spring or the preced-
ing fall. These eight have an aggregate popu-
lation of 1900 settlers, who generally had
their first crop planted. They had expended
all their means in building houses and putting
in crops. The drought and grasshoppers
wrought the total destruction OF everything
they had planted, leaving them totally desti.
tute. They are without food, clothing or fuel
to sustain them till they can produce something
on which to live, and must be sustained BY tn
charitable contributions in other sections of the
state and country al large. At least u, 900 PEG
pie must be helped until another crop is put in
