THE PUBLIC LANDS.

It Is estimated that the public do- main still remaining amounts to little more than GOO. 100000 acres. excluding, however. about 360. 900. .00o acres in Alas ka as well as military reservations and railroads in other sections. of lands yet unadjudicated.
 The total cash receipts from sale of lands amounted to 674.2s5.79. includ- ing s9l l,sSi.03 received for Indian lands. Thirty-flve thousand patents were is- sued for agricultural lands. and a.i00 patents were issued to Indians on ale lotments of their holdings In severalty. the land so allotted being inalienab ble by the Indian allotees for a period of twenty-five years after patent.
 There were certified and patented on account of railroad and wagon road grants during the year s65.556, 45 acres of lands at the close of the year, 20 million acres were embraced In the lists of selections made by railroad and wagon road companies and awaited settlement.
 The selections of swamp lands and that taken as indemnity therefrom since the passage of the act providing for the same in ls49. amount to nearly or quite so,5oo,ooO acres. of which 5S.- 100000 have been patented to states. About 1ss,oOo acres were patented dur ing the last year. Nearly S20.000 acres of school and educational grants were approved during the year, and at its close 1,250.36S.S1 acres remained unad- justed.
 It appears that the appropriation for the current year on account of special service for the protection of the public lands and the timber thereon Is much less than those for previous years and inadequate for an efficient performance

THE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING take a little Carlsbad Sprudel Salt in glass full of water. That will set you right and keep you right, if you're inclined to be bill ious or dyspeptic or constipated.
 People wonder, sometimes, why it is that the Carlsbad treatment, the worlds remedy for habitual constipation, should be recom- mended for diarrhea and such disorders, too. Simply, because it leads the stomach and bowels naturally into a healthy condi- tion, whatever their derange- ments-it doesn't accomplish its results by harmful irritation, as most pills and purgatives do.
 Beware of limitations sold as "improved" or artificial |" Carlsbad Salt.
 The only genuine Carlsbad Salt, with all the properties of the Sprudel Spring solidified, has the seal of the city of Carls- bad and the signature of "E1sNER & MENDELsoN Co.,, Agents, New York, on every bottle. All others are worthless limitations.

POSTAL AFFAIRS.

The transactions of the postal service indicate with barometic certainty the fluctuations in the business of the country. Inasmuch, therefore. as business complications continued to exist throughout the last year to an unforeseen extent 1t is not surprising that the deficiency of revenue to meet the expenditures of the post-office department, which was estimated in advance at abxuts eight million dollars. should be exceeded by nearly one and a quarter million dol lars. The ascertained revenues of the last year, which were the basis of call ouiation. for the current year, being less than estimated, the deficiency Ter the current year will be correspondingly greater, though the Rostn1ast Gene raI states that the latest insdieations are SO favorable that he confidently predicts an increase Of It least s4ght

The obliga. tions of the banks to each other were increased $117, ,26S,334 and the individual deposits were $277, 7,294;4s9 less than at the corresponding date in the previous year, and checks and, other cash items were $9O, ,349, ,963 more.

 THE WAR DEPARTMENr.
 From the report Of the secretary of war 1t appears that the strength of the army on September 30, 1894, was 2,135 officers and 25.7s5 enlisted men.
 Although this is apparently a very slight decrease compared with the pre- vious year, the actual effective force has been increased to the equivalent of nearly two regiments through the re- organization of the system Of recruit ing, and the consequent release to regf- mental duty of the large force Of men hitherto serving at the recruiting de- pots The abolition of these depots, it is predicted, will furthermore effect an annual reduction approximating $25o,- 600 in the direct expenditures, besides promoting the health, moral and disci- pline Of the troops. #
 The execution of the policy Of concen- tration on the army at important cen tres of population and transportation. foreshadoWed in the annual report of the secretary has resulted in the aban- donment Of fifteen Of the smaller posts, which was efEected under a plan which assemblies organizations of the same regiments hitherto widely separated.

 Inanagua expelled from it's territory twelve or more foreigners. including two Americans, for alleged partlcipa- tion in the seditious or revolutionary movements against the republic at BluefeIds already mentioned; but through the earnest remonstrance of this government the two Americans have been permitted to return to the peaceful management of their bllsi- ness. Our naval commanders at the scene of the disturbances, by their good judgment, contributed largely to the prevention of more serious conse- quences and to the restoration of quiet and order. regret that in the midst of these occurrences there happened a raost grave and irritating failure of Me- araguan justice. An American citizen named Wilson, residing at Rama, in the Mosquito territory, was murdered by one Arsueilo, the acting governor of the town. After some delay the murderer was arrested, but so inse- curely confined or guarded, that he es- capped, and notwithstanding our re- peated demands it is claimed that his recapture has been impossible by rea- son of his flight beyond Nicaraguan jurisdiction.
 THE GOVERNMENTS FINANCES.
 The secretary of the treasury reports that the receipts of the government from All sources of revenue during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894, amounted to ss72. .ss2. .4ss.2s. And its ex- expenditures $442, ,6o5. .75s.s7. Leaving . deficit of $ss,sos, ,2so.5s. There was a.
