UEMOREsT's MONTHLY

UEMOREsT's MONTHLY MAGAZINE
comes to US with its accu stoned regu-
larity, and on examination of the Nov
eDber number, we find that the articles
are of nature to make them highly
acceptable to the readers of this popu-
lar publication. Mrs Alexander's SER
ial, "The Admirars Ward" gains in in
terest, and the shorter tales are exceed
ingly well told. "Wanderers In The
Heavens, :" "Winter resorts in Southern
Europe" and Jennie June's ''Talk with
Women" are worthy of note. There is
a variety ofvery readable articles, some
ofwhich are illustrated. on instructive
topics, and every department, including
the Fashion, Household" and "Cur-
rent Topics" is fully and judiciously
filed. A handsome oil picture forms
the frontispiece, and the art departm ent
is further supplied by several pretty
engravings.

October Elections.

The result of the elections in Ohio
IS a complete surprise all around. The
democrats elected their entire state
ticket by sweeping majorities, and cap
tured seven congressional districts
from the republicans. Ohio is the
only state of importance that continues
to hold state elections in October, SO
that the result has been looked for with
eagerness by both political parties. It
is generally understood that the result
in Ohio has pronounced effect upon
the November elections. The causes,
therefore, for this unexpected tidal
wave of democracy will be carefully
looked into, and the effect upen the
elections Of states that vote in Novem-
ber looked for with eagerness by all.
Ohio has not cast her electoral votes
for democratic candidate for presi-
dent IN forty years, and should the
elections this last week lead to her en-
rollment among the democratic states
for 1884, it would prove political
revolution indeed, as Murat Halstead
called on it election night.

SaIutarY Stimulation.

When vital action is sluggish, stimulant'
provided it be pure and properly medicated,ls
the most reliable agent for imparting the nece5-
sary impetus to the serni-dormant organs, accel-
Grating the Ianguid circulation and avertlng the
naladies TO which functional inactivity give rise.
Physicians who have employed Hostetter's Stom-
aGh Bitters in their practice pronounce it the
most salutary tonic stinulant they have ever
used. and especially commend it as remedy tor
torpidity of the bowels, liver, stomach and kid
news. and as a resuscitant of vital energy. The
medicinal value of these Bitters is due to the
fact that with their basis of pure spirits is COM
bined, in perfect chemical harmony, the best re-
storative and DEMONSTRATING elements known to
medical botany. The Bittsrsneyer deteriorate IN
the most unfayorable climates.

TIE Cincinnati Price Current has pub
lished peanut number, and gives
some interesting statistics as to the cul-
tivation of this docile fruit. Few peo-
pie have any idea of the extent of the
peanut business or its increase in the
United States. The consumation in
1878 was 1'O66,OOO bushels, in 1889
it was /, $50, 900, in 1S79-S0 it was !, ,927, :
900 bushels, and last year 2,1OS.O
bushels. The available supply for the
coming winter according to Mr.. Muir
ry, the editor of the Price Current, who
is a good Judge of peanuts, is 2 ,26O,O0O,
OF which there are 10000 bushels that
we did not eat last year, 100000
bushels from Virginia, 100000 bushels
from Tennessee, and 10000 bushels

Reorganization of the Land-omce

Reorganization of the Land-OGice.
The subcommittee of the Senate, of
which Senators Morgan and Blair are mem
bers, which has recently been investigating
the General Land Office with the design of
preparing bill for its reorganization upon
some more satisfactory basis, has about con-
cluded its personal and minute examina-
tion of the clerks books systems, appli-
ances, methods and accommodations at the
disposal of this most important bureau. The
investigation by the gentlemen of the COM
mittee has been most painstaking and
laborious. They have personally visited
every nook and Granny of the various rooms
now occupied by the General Land office,
carefully examining into such questions as
those of ventilation, desk-room, storage of
records, and the like. while they have even
had CAREFUL diagrams of some of the rooms
prepared wherewith to illustrate their
forthcoming report, which will be looked
for with great interest not only by the
gentlemen employed in the Office itself,
but also by the public at large.
After years of almost hopeless struggle
against arrearages of work, insufficiency of
forceudond utterly inadequate accommoda-
tions3h the matter of room, the necessities
of bureau which contains within its in
valuable records what may be termed the
very title-deeds to three four.hs of all the
landed property and mineral resources of
this broad Union are beginning to attain
some measure of public recognition, which
it is hoped may lead to improvement in
the official management of these great in
terests. The members of the committee
have received much invaluable assistance
from Commissioner Mcfarland, who is de-
termined to leave no stone unturned in
seeking to improve the management and
morale of the important office over which
he presides. Mr.. Mcfarland is earnest
patient and persevering in the extreme ;
although overrun with ever-accumulating
afrearages of work, his industry never
| tires. He has made but few changes since
his administration of the Office commenced,
and no violent ones; while he seems to
appreciate thoroughly the value and truth

1t is said the Government prosecuting
officers who have been preparing the iu-
formation in the Starroute cases have
nearly completed their work, and are now
only awaiting the termination of the
Guitcau trial to bring the matter before
the grand jury. The cases which have
been selected are, as near rs possible, repre-
sentative of the different degrees of fraud
alleged to have been committed. This is
another newspaper gush as to what is
going to be DONE The grand jury has been
available during the Guiteau trial for
informatXh about alleged Star.route frauds,
and all other alleged misdemeaners within
their jurisdiction, but now, the same as for
past ten months, the prosecutors are now
ready to appear-only in the newspapers.
The correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette writes Judge Wyle, TO the Su-
preme Court of this District, was to-day
assigned for the coming year to the criminal
ben ch Of the court, which will be charged
with the trial of the Star-route frauds His
term begins the 1st of March, and these
cases will be the first tried, Judge Wylie
has long been connected with the court, and
is known as insisting upon prompt methods
and as being entirely fearless in the dis
charge of his duties. So far as Judge
Wylie is concerned, the public can feel as
sured that the law will be vigorously ad-
ministered without shadow of fear or
favor"
1t is pleasure to learn that an honorable
Judge Of the District Court has been as
signed to preside over the Criminal Court,
for our citizens began to be apprehensive
that the judge to be assigned for the ap-
preaching term would be imported from
Philadelphia and the jury selected from the
Southern district of New York. 1t is
stated that Special Assistant, Attorney
General A. Ma Gibson and William A. Cook
have put in bills for services in the Star
route cases of 81 800 each.
A United States district attorney, upon
whom devolves the duty of prosecuting all
alleged infractions of the United States
laws within his Jurisdiction, is allowed but
$4,000 per year. Here are bills for $4,000
from two subs, with Bliss, Kinds, Wood
ward, Tidball, Shallcross, and an innumer-
able horde of attorneys agents, and detect
ives still to be heard from, and no foothold
yet maintained in the courts Verify the
United States Treasury is fat goose, to be
plucked in the name Of reform by an army
of shysters and detectives.
There was law in force few years ago
requiring the head of a Department to first
show that the regular force of the Depart
ment was insufficient (or inefficient?) to
| attend to special matters arising before
| special counsel could be employed. 1t
| would seem proper in order to protect the
| Treasury, that some such law should be
revived.
