Estimates of Farm Animals,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1i.-Estimates of the
number Of farm animals made at the end of
each year and returnable in January to the
department of agriculture show there has
been very little change except on the Paci-
be coast and in certain portions of the
Rocky mountain area where the winter of
lSS9-90 was unusually severe. Loses were
especially heavy on the Pacific coast. 1t is
estimated the number of sheep is 43, 431, :
Duo. A tendency TO increase the number is
seen in most states, though heavy losses
from the severe winter last year on the
Pacific slope decreased the aggregate.

In the Interest of Pension Re-
form.

WASHINGTON, July IA society
composed exclusively of the veterans
OF the War, whose purpose is to re
form existing abuses in the pension
law, is one Of the problems Of the
near future. 1t is proposed to found
this society in Washington, with
branches throughout the country.
The pioneer in the work, tie Peter
Hermit, of the new crusade, is Allen
Foote, Special Agent of the United
States Census. He entered the
army as a private In the third
Michigan in 1861. He remained in
the service until the surrender at
Appomatox. He has given much
thought to the pension legislation
of the last three decades. He be.
lieves in the main that it Is wrong.
He believes that one third of those
who receive the benefits Of the law
are not entitled TO it; the other third,
If entitled, do not want 1T. He
argues that two-thirds of the pen
ers ought to be stricken from the
list by Congressional enactment.
Such a proceeding would reduce the
appropriation from Sl40,000.000 to
$50,000,000.

Although 1891 IS an of year ii
politics, considerable interest viii
attach to the elections in the six
states which choose governors this
fall. The six states are Ohio, New
York, Massachusetts, Iowa, Ken
lucky and Maryland.
The campaign in Ohio will attract
the greatest national attention on
account Of the tariff, which will be
made prominent issue. The contest
will be between Maj. Mckinley and
Gov. Campbell. James Y. Campbell
the present democratic governor, was
elected in 1889 by plurality of 10,
S92. In 1890 the republican plural
ity for secretary Of state was 10.790,
and in 1888 Harrison had 1859
more votes than Cleveland.
In New York successor to David
b. Hill. will be chosen. Coy. Hills
plurality in 1888 was 1911, and in
the same year Harrison had 14,733
more votes than Cleveland. As yet
nothing definite can be said Of the
probable gubernatorial candidates
this year. Although Gov. Hill has
been elected United States senator
it Is not thought improbable that be
may again seek the nomination for
state executive, considering that
place an easier stepping stone 10 the
presidency. Besides governor, .
full state ticket and a state legisla-
ture in both branches are to be se-
lected.
Massachusetts, now has q demo.
cratic governor, William e. Russell,
who was elected in 1890 by a plu
rality of 9,053. The republicans
carried the state for president in
1888 by 32.037. Gov. Russell was
elected last year because of his per-
soDal popularity and his professed
ability to institute certain reforms
connected with local affairs. 1t is
probable that he will again be can
didate.
Horace Boies. the present demo
cratic governor of Iowa, was elected
in 1889 by plurality of 6,523; in
1888 Harrison carried the state by
1881. Boies has made an excellent
record and the democrats have great
hopes of holding the state, but the
third party will cut quite figure
there, and there is no telling the
result.
In Maryland and Kentucky the
democrats will elect their tickets.
All the states named will hold their
elections in November, except Ken
lucky, where the voting will take
place on the first Monday in August.
