Sylvester A. Bell, the Fairfax wife
murderer, was brought before Judges
Taft and Thompson of the supreme
court on the morning of Nov. IL, on a
writ of habeas corpus, because of an
error in the sentence given by Judge
Rowe1l at the September, 1890, term
of the Franklin county court. He
was sentenced to six months solitary
of three as provided by law. The
lawyers argued that the whole SEN
tence was void because of the error.
Judge Taft decided that the sentence
might have been erroneous, but not
void or imperative, and Bell will hang
the first Friday in January, 1892.
George Soule, mail carrier. was
run over by freight train in the

While in Boston few days since, we
had occasion to call on PettingiIl &
Co., the well-known advertising COM
pany which has a reputation for
promptness, reliability and courtesy
that is almost world wide. The NOM
TOR has done business with the COM
pany since the day of its first issue to
the present time, and never found an
"out' in the way the firm conducts
its business. The company has just
moved into new, commodious and
convenient quarters on School street,
where a new suite of rooms have been
prepared specially for the increasing
business, and where everything is
neatly and methodically done. The firm
does business with $500 periodicals
and requires a very large force of
clerks to do the work required, in
checking, reporting and crediting the
advertising work done by so many
papers. 1t may not be Dragging if we
say that the MONITOR received very
fiattering compliment for its typo
graphical appearance and the charac-
ter of its advertising work

WASHINGTON LETTER.

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR ]
Washington, D. c., NoU.9, 1891.
The President is now devOting every
spare moment of his time to work
upon his annual message to Congress,
much Of which he has already roughly
prepared. The financial part of the
message, which will be largely based
upon the annual report of the Secre
tary of the Treasury, upon which Sec
retary Foster is now hard at work,
will probably be the last that will be
finished. 1t may be mentioned, upon
good authority that the portion of the
message treating of the several for
eign complications which have re-
Gently occurred will fairly bristle with
Americauism of the stalwart sort,
which is calculated to make Americans
residing or travelling abroad proud of
the flag which protects them wherev
er they go, and which has gained for
that flag greater respect among the
strong nations of the world than it
has ever before enjoyed.
Now that the smoke has entirely
cleared away from the recent state
elections and a calm observation of
the causes which brought about GER
tain effects may be taken, no member
of the national administration sees
anything to darken the bright pros
pect of republican success next
year. all recognize that in the one
e-Ohio-where the fight was
squarely made upon the issue that the
national cOmpaign is to be fought
upon-protection and honest money
there is a magnificent republican vic
tory, and in that victory they see the
forerunner of another and greater
victory next year. The election of
Maj. Mckinley, although fully expect
ed from the start, gives the greatest
satisfaction in Washington, where the
sterling honesty and integrity of the
man have made him as wide a circle
of personal friends and well wishers
as any man in public life has. He is
one of the few men who never get the
''big head"
Senator Plumb is in Washington re-
ceiving the congratulations of his
friends on the result of the Kansas
campaign in which he took a leading
part. He says that the result shows
that the Kansas farmers will not be
led by the nose by ignorant dema-
gOgues whose only aim in life is to
feather their own nests; they have a
way of doing their own thinking,
which in the end brings them in the
near neighborhood of what is right
and proper.
One notable effect of the state cleo
ton returns is that the officials of the
National Farmers Alliance who make
this city their headquarters have
stopped claiming the earth," which
they were doing right along before the
election. Now they have nothing to
say for publication further than that
the ALLIANCE isn't in politics this year
any way" In plain words the trick
by which it was hoped that several
OF the North West states would throw
away their electoral votes while the
/ South would remain solidly demo
cratic has been well shown up, and
will cut no figure in the presidential
/ campaign. AS one senator puts it:
7 eff the Farmers Alliance in the South
wants to organize third party lei
them start the ball by cutting loose
from the democratic party in the
several Southern states which they
now control"

4 GREAT NATION

We are the most prosperous people
in the world, and the farmer is the ba-
sis of our prosperity. Large crops
mean large incomes for the farmer,
and large incomes mean large expend-
itures with the merchant and the
banker. All this means stimulus to
industry and enterprise such as al
ways follow a natural increase of
wealth.
In 1890 the UnitedaStates imported
1 $780, 900 tons of sugar, equivalent to
2,7O0, 1000, 900 pounds, and produced
sufficient sugar in addition to make the
total consumption in this country s.
O0O, $50, 900 pounds, or at the rate of
over so pounds for every man, woman
and child in the United States. One
quarter of the worlds production of
sugar is consumed in this country. We
imported last year nearly 1000, 900
bags of coffee, making this the largest
coffee customer in the world. Over
1900, 900 pounds Of tobacco were bro't
in. We are consuming so much in
these prosperous times that the prices
of commodities for export have risen
and will probably continue to rise.
We are also the great producers of
the world. Last year we sent abroad
of cotton alone $251 900, 900 worth; to
this we added s155, 900, 900 worth of
breadstuffs, and $136, 100000 worth of
provisions, beside s31, 900, 900 worth of
live cattle and S51, 900, 900 worth of
mineral oils. When we contemplate
these figures, we begin to appreciate
how large and prosperous this coun-
try is, and why, beyond any other
land on the face of the globe, it con-
tinues to attract the largest immigra-
tion-FrdnE Leslie's Weekly.

Here are some curious figures: The
report states that up to October 1
there had been total of 1 ,016, ,514 ami
mails inspected both before and after
slaughter; 63,672 carcasses of hogs
were examined microscopically and
the total number of animals condemn
ed was but 1876. The cost Of this in
spection will not exceed five cents
head. The Secretary notes with plea
sure the growing interest in this coun-
try among all classes, in the cause OF
agriculture, and trusts that much good
may result from the same. 1t is evil
dent from the report that the live
cattle industry has assumed immense
proportions.

There was a binding snow storm in
Dickinson, n. Dakota, Nov. 10. The
temperature was nearly stationary at
the freezing point. Over four inches
of snow has fallen. The wind is strong
from the west and range cattle are
drifting with the storm.
COmanche, the most celebrated
horse in the United States cavalry SER
vice, died at Fort Riley recently. He
was 45 years old and the only living
thing belonging to the United States
service which escaped the massacre
at the battle of Little Big Horn, where
Gen. Custer and his command were
massacred. He was one of the orig
inal count of the 7th cavalry, which
regiment was organized in 1866, and
had been in almost every battle with
the Indian service.

The report of Mr.. Rusk, Secretary
of Agriculture, presents some facts
of interest to the farming world, and
to the country at large. He states,
that Notwithstanding the abundant
crops of the year, values are well sus-
tanned. The increase in value of agri-
cultural products over last year will
not be less than 500, 900, 600 During
the first three months Of the present
fiscal year the exports in cereals alone
have summed up SIC, 600, ,OOO The in
dications now are that the sales abroad
of the surplus from the farms of the
country viii be largely in excess of
those in any previous year. During
the first ten months under the pres
ent law there has been an increase of
some S28, 200, 900 in the imports OF
agricultural products over last year.
This increase is chiefly confined to
articles not competing with home
products, such as sugar, tea, coffee.
etc. Tobacco has fallen off one mil

The free imports for the year ending
September 80, 1891, amount to about
$780,, ,352, ,O5s while the dutiable i'm
ports foot up somewhere near 1927, :
1853, 3,212.
1t is interesting to compare these
figures with those shown for the year
ending September 80, 1880. In that
year the free imports were S279, ,259,-
671 while the dutiable imports were
s574, ,2O9, ,72O. This does not look as
though the Mckinley tariff was like
