MIR. Blaine,s Health.

Our Washington correspondent, un-
der date of April 9th, writes as fol-
lows in relation to Secretary Blaine's
health: The friends OF Secretary
Blaine are becoming anxious about the
state. of his health. He has been
slightly indisposed during the week..
and his family say it was caused by
an attack of lumbago, but others say
there are reasons for believing that 1t
was something more serious. It has
long been known to the intimate
friends of Mr.. Blaine that he was
threatened with the dangerous and
much dreaded Bright's disease, and I
have been informed by a gentleman
who is on terms OF the closets in-
timacy with the secretary that the
disease has now so far developed as
to leave no doubt of its existence.
Mr.. Blaine, SO my informant says, is
fully aware of his condition, md is
being treated for the disease. But be-
ing what is known as a good liver
it is doubtful whether Mr.. Blaine
will adopt as rigid course Of diet as
did General r. G. Schenck under
similar circumstances few years
ago, and consequently will not be SO
fortunate as was that gentleman in
entirely recovering his health. Gen.
Schenck, whose recovery was regarded
as little short OF o miracle, ate
nothing hut stale wheat-bread and
skinned milk for more than twelve
months. Few men would be willing
to adopt for so long q time such a
diet. The majority would probably
be like prominent Washington cor
respondent who has been dead sew
eral years. He was sufferer from
nBright's' disease, and had been
through several courses Of medical
treatment without benefit, when be
was urged by Gen. Schenck, who was
an old personal friend, to adopt the
milk and bread dietfor year. sHow
long do you suppose could hope to-
live II twelve months Of this diet
aIh0uld restore my health ?p asked
the suffering journalist. Twenty
years at least replied his sympa-
thetic friend. Cen 6chenc]k. aAh,

The fact that county retail merchants

of the trust or association formed by

particulars of which were given in the
TRIBUNE several weeks since-and are
now receiving goods direct from Chi
cago, has alarmed the Wholesale dealers
of the former cities. These dealers are
giving voluntary interviews" to news
paper reporters, in order that they may
explain about the grocers' trust, which
they say is no trust, only an association
of Twin City grocers, formed as much
for the benefit Of the country retail deal
ers as for the wholesale dealers. Whistle

mariners, but don't waste your breath in

The Canucks are getting hot over q
matter which occurred as long ago as
1866, when it is alleged British vessels
were seized in Behring's sea by
American cruisers. In the Canadian
house of commons the other day Mr..
Pryor brought up this matter and
was particularly severe on the United
States because the $4,000 damages
claimed had not been paid. He con-
trasted the delay in settling the
Behring's sea affair with the haste
shown by the United States in the
Samoan affair. He knew that the
Dominion government had asked
England to secure settlement, and
he wanted to know why the settle
ment had not been made. He wanted
the imperial authorities to send q
British war vessel to Behring's sea,
so that these seizures would be
stopped. Mr.. Davies, another MEM
Der of the Canadian house of COM
mons, agreed with Mr.. Pryor as to
the importance of the matter. The
delay he said, simply showed that
Canada could never secure summary
Justice until she had an agent at
Washington. If English and Amer
lean relations were unfriendly, no
reason existed why Canada should
suffer. just go, Mr.. Davies, Canada
and the United States ought to be
good friends, and further, they ought
to belong to the same union of states
and receive the benefits of the same
government. The idea Of a great
country like Canada being controlled
by government on the other side OF
q great ocean, 5000 miles away, Is not
only ridiculous, but it Is contrary to
all ideas of progress and independ-
ence. AS a part of the United States,
Canada would become one of the
mostprosperous portions of the Union,
and also govern herself and become
freeand independent. Canucks should
think of this.

from tile Quincy Daily Wing sums
up very eoncisely what this little at

u Few months the wire mills of the
country could make enough wire To
bind every bundle of wheat i'll This
country, and not q single lound of
tWine need be used. Should the
Eprices of twine decline, as they natur-
ally would, when the demand was
cut off, and the farmer again wish to
use twine, lac can change his binder
in one minute from wire to Irvine.
In other words this simple device
gives him complete and absolute
| mastery of the situation. III coming
harvests he can reduce the demand
for twine more than one half and still
be in q position to use either wire OF
Irvine at will.
This simple little device will GER

the contest which the farmers are
now waging against the Irvine trust.
It il an inexpensive weapon with
which tile farmer can control both

prove more deadly to the Irvine trusts
