IE SILENT STATE DEPAKTAEN1
Boston Globe.

The unaccountable silence of the Depart
ment of State continues. No sound comes
from Washington to the eager ears of our
plundered fishermen. Portland owners in
vain await reply. and Gloucester looks anx-
iously for the first intimation that her men
and her property are to be protected by the
government. Does the American flag mean
anything or does it not? That is the ques-
ton. If it does not, then 10000 New England
fishermen want to know it. If the govern
ment cannot or will not protect the vessels
sailing under its flag, it is time the fact was
publicly proclaimed. Then those engaged in
a great industry would know what to do.
They have right to reply one way or the
other. Ii the Secretary of State cares more
for the honeyed words of the British minis
ter than for the property and rights of our
citizens, let him say SO frankly Longer
silence can find no Justification.

that their lost or needed vitality will be restored
to them in less than thirty days.
Not a case of Cholera Infantum known where
Murdoch Liquid Food has been used, nor death
from Cholera Infantum where it has been pre-
scribed by physician
The question often asked-hOw does Murdocks
LIQUID Food compare with other Foods and Ton
les? We refer to the State Inspector OF FoodS 1or
Massachusetts in his annual report for 1886.
Murdock's Liquid Food contains 10 per cent.
of albumen; all the other foods do not contain
any. Common food does not contain over one per
cent. that is available.
II contains less organic matter than common
food and common food contains 1885; the other
preparations from 1852 to 60.50 per cent
If contains 0.42 of ash, which is 1ndlgeSt1ble
matter. The others contain from $50 to 23.74
per cent.
arations are all TONES, as they contain from
%. 10 to 56.13 per cent.
These facts show why Murdocks Liquid Food
excels all other foods and preparations in making
new blood and cleansing the system OF disease.
tablespoonful four times day will make 10
pounds new blood monthly, and the system con-
tains "a to % pounds.

novel of this author, who is not, however,
new to literature, and has spent severa
years among the people whom he describes
so clevelly. Most of the incidents narrated
are true, and love story runs prettily
through sketch of the country, and the re-

race ornamenting and adjoining it, In fact,
the book is fresh and delightful mingling
of fact and fiction, romance and history,
graphically and skillfully presented, and has
not dull page in it.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Jan. John Eggler,
proprietor of Helms hall and saloon, is
a victim of a boycott, instituted against
him by the Knights of Labor, and unless
he can prevail upon the Knights to with
draw the boycotting order, he will have
to withdraw from business. Eggler can
get no one to rent his hall, can get few to
p%atronize his bar and can get no beer to
sell over his counter, even if he had Gus
TONERS to cousume it. Eggler refused to
let the st. Louis street car drivers have
his, hall for a ball just after the dynamite
iends tried to blow up several street cars
loaded with women and children. As
some OF the dynamiters were on the ball
committee, Eggler thought the ball not

Westward Bound In search of Good
Husbands aud Homes.


Laughing, chatting and casting coquet-
fish glances about them, twenty fresh
faced, g~ood-looking Scotch lassies alighted
from the west bound Union Pacific express
as the train reached this city late last
night. They partook of a hearty meal at
Capt Fosters hosiery, and afterwards
promenaded on the depot platform, enjoy
ing the balmy winter evening. They
were maids of Dundee, Scotland, and had
come to America shining shores to better
their fortunes and launch upon the sea OF
matrimony.
John Robertson, in whose charge they
were, is the manager Of the Oakland, Cal,
iute mills. When a LEADER reporter
met the young Scotch ~lassies, Mr.. Rob
ertson was still engaged at the supper
table.
A bright young lady with dark auburn
hair and sparkling blue eyes laughed and
blushed when asked as to the object of
their coming. Finally she said:
well, | might us well tell you; we
have come over to marry. We have
heard of the scarcity Of wives in the
Western part of America, and decided to
make up a party and go out to take our
chances"
Another, a determined looking blonde.
of medium size and an expression that
told of will of her own, said

went out with eight other girls and mar
ried a wealthy grain farmer the next day
after her arrival in the place. She ad-
vised me to come, and I'm going to get a
husband"
Miss Maggie seemed quite proud of her
speech, and appeared to consider it as a
matter of pure business.
The young ladies ages ranged from
seventeen to twenty-three, aud not one OF
them had pale cheeks or fragile forms.
They were oatmeal-fed and hearty. All
were well dressed and several had packed
among their personal effects various little
household articles that would come in
handy in the home.
Some were tall, others short, some blond
es and some brunettes, and they weighed
from lis to lGO pounds each. None
