THE friends of Mr.. Blaine were much
elated yesterday by what some senseless
correspondents telegraphed as Blaine vic
tories, more especially the votes seating the
anti-Spencer and snti-Shepherd delegates.
But as we read the news, the friends of
Mr.. Blaine also suffered three decisive de-
feats, which far more than compensate for
any little comfort which they might have
derived from their pretended victories.
The first was the prohibition of any change
Of a vote once announced during the cur
rent ballot; the second was the determine
tion to adopt a platform before nominating
the man to stand upon il, and the third was
the adjournment till to day without pro-
ceeding to ballot. Each one of these
votes was opposed by the Blaine men, who
had just jubilated over their success in
organizing the convention. The very last,
adjourning over without ballot, was the
most decisive anti-Blaine movement of the
day. This morning earnest, decisive work
may be looked for. Last night finished the
deliberations probably, and delegations
will to- day determine with certainty under
which candidate they are willing to risk
the issue,

" GRAETISM," {"

For years past portion of the press has
used this senseless term, implying, if any
thing, what was individual, and, by In
nuendo, without merit. 1t is worth while
to trace ''Grantism" for the past fifteen
years. The present President was then
known only 10 his comrades and friends,
who appreciated then, as now, his great
good sense and sterling integrity. Since
then, wherever he has commanded our
forces before the enemy, he has been sue
cCssful; at Forts Henry and Donelson, at
Vicksburg, a: Chattanooga, under most
difficult and trying circumstances, Grant
ism" established tself Promoted for
distinguished services to a grade estab-
lished as a reward, Lieutenant General
Grant was transferred to the command of
our armies. He established his headquarters
with the army of the Potomac, and that
force, before Ineffective through individual
jealOusies, became united and powerful,
and, in the course OF time, operating in
unison with our other forces IN the field,
overpowered-indeed. utterly defeated
the rebel forces, from Virginia to Texas
'Grantism" prevailed over every portion
of our armies, if "Grantism" means the
impress Of the character of the man whom
this expression is designed to ridicule
Soon after the rebel forces were de-
feated, as gsnera!-in-chef of our armies
he concentrated a sufficient force on the
borders of Mexico to drive the French out
of that country, and perhaps no one was
more surprised than was Mr.. Seward, our
then Secretary Of State, when the En-

THE labors of the convention yesterday
were srduous and indicate good deal of
sound discretion on the part of the majority.
The committee on rules in recommending
the prohibition of change Of votes dur
ing 9 ballot exhibited great wisdom and
perfect knowledge of the situation. The
object undoubtedly was to prevent q
stampede Of delegates from Territories
who have no votes in the electoral col
lege and from those Southern States who
cannot hope to carry their States for the
Republican ticket whatever it may be,
which might force the nomination of men
upon those States in which the brunt of
the battle must be fought who would be
the hardest for them to carry. 1t is con-
sidered no more than fair that the States
relied upon to elect the ticket should have
paramount voice in the selection of
standard bearers. The friends of Mr..
Blame claim victory il the adoption of
the majority report of the committee on
credentials. While,it has the appearance
Of an advantage, because the delegations
thus seated are believed to be Blaine men,
it by no means determines that all who
voted with the majority can be counted
upon TO vote for Mr.. Blaine's nomination.

If Great Britain refuses to surrender
Winslow, Gray, and Brent at our demands,
under the treaty of 1912, in accordance
with the usual practice (and it seems that
she has already released the former what
shall be done about il? VIII it not be an
insult that should be resented at once by
the dlscontinuaDce of diplomatic relations
with her? Why continue such relations
with a nation that disregsrds her treaty
stipulations? War has frequently resulted
from the infraction of treaties of far less
importance than this. If Great Britain
wishes to place herself in a position to OBJ
tain an amended treaty, she must first
demonstrate that such amended treaty will
be of some force by strict conformity to
her present treaty obligations. We can
not consent to treat under a menace. She
may not hold two or three of our criminal
refugees in her hands contrary to treaty
stipulations, and, refusing their surrender,
expect US to modify treaties at her behest
under such circumstances. She must first
clean her hands of these three cases, as an
earnest Of her regard for her present COM
pacts with us, before she can expect US to
make new ones. The course of Earl
Derby in this respect may well bear the
Interpretation of designed and studied in
suit, and we trust and believe that the
affront will be resented in proper man
ner. Whether that manner will be the
sending of his passports to Sir Edward
Thornton we are NOT Drenarad IN COW hut
we have but little doubt that such course
would command the undivided approval
of the people of the country. Mr.. Fish
has fully vindicated our right to have
these fugitives delivered up. The British
press acknowledge this. Earl Derby hav-
ing permitted the release of Winslow,
holds the act of Parliament of greater
binding force than solemn treaty with

ABORTION AMONG COWS.

This evil Is prevalent again among the
diaries in Stark and ills accounted for by
the insect found in the heads of scAover
when in blossom. 1t occurs more particu-
larly in the June variety, which for several
years has been total failure as a seed crop,
the head appearing. but not the blossom.
1t is reported to the writer that those dairy
men whose herds are attacked for the. first
time, have for the first time also fed the
hay made from June clover and thosewho
never fed It are exempt. = This led t6 the
inquiry into the matter. 1t is found,
further, that the several years in which
abortion has prevailed among the cows
here, corresponds with the time of the Sc

older dairy districts of the state sWhere
abortion has existed for many years, it

clover has been fed dutfhg the time, and
whether the pest infested it at the same

this is au error, although it is so popularity
received as p test of purity, and then TO
demonstrate how by the employment of
this instrument it becomes very profitable
business first to remove the cream and fab
ricate butter from it, and then send the
milk to market diluted with water, which
takes the place of cream and brings the
milk to the proper standard. And first we
can never Judge of milk by its gravity. If
milk is permitted to stand there is light
portion Of it that rises to the surface, which
we call cream, thus showing that it is
lighter than the rest of the fluid, and 1t is
this cream that nterferes with the work
ing Of the lactometer. In chemistry we
test the gravity of fluids by different
means, one of the best being the little phial
called the thousand-grain phial, and If we
try milk by this 1t gives us the gravity, but
it is not at all test of purity. The pro-
