There is no diminution of interest
in the struggle which is going on in
the Salvation Army. For though
there is comparatively little surface
evidence of that struggle, it cannot be
doubted that the surface Indications
are by no means a reliable measure of
the conflict of feelings and influences
and forces going on beneath the sur
face. Loyalty to the central organiz-
alton in London has been a funda
mental tenet Of the Army. The mem
bers of the Army in this country have
now to decide between loyalty on the
one hand, and love for Commander
Ballington Booth and his wife on the
other, with the situation complicated
by the example of the withdrawal of
the beloved commander and his wife
from the very organization loyalty to
which has been a first principle Of
the Army. Now that Mr.. Booth has
decided to start a new movement, it
will be interesting to see how many
of the members of the old Army will
cast in their lot with the rival organ
iZation.

The silver influence will be hard to
measure and yet very powerful in the
political affairs of this year. Absurd
and false as the claims of the silver
ties, their numbers, and the silent in
fuence of millions of silver mining
stock that are held all over the coun-
try make a power that will leopard
ize the chances of the old parties in
national contests. Already the trou
BILE is great in the democratic coun-
cils; and the republicans, slightly less
affected will find the silver problem,
when it comes to be handled by a
convention a very hard thing to dis
pose of. The thing itself forebodes
no good and is liable to produce a fl
nancial revolution which will be de-
structive to the interests as the coun-
try. The theories Of the silverites,
foolish as they are, command a large
number of votes and thousands who,
for causes that can not be controlled,
are poor or in Strengthened circum-
stances imagine that money made of
a cheap material will be so plenty that
they can get hold of some of it. 9th

FEEBLE ATTACKS.

The Wdtchnodn has it's anonymous
letter writing bureau started up again
and is rehearsing one of its early and
stale slanders on Major Grout. This
is something that he did while in the
legislature in 1886 with reference to
railroad legislation. It is insinuated
that the railroad committee, selected
by Major Grout, "was formed with a
manifest disregard of the popular
demand" And yet that committee
favored the creation of a railroad
commission, and the commission was
established that self same year. Evi-
IDENTIFY the Major was not working
very hard to prevent it. Some other
anonymous fellow undertakes to make
out that the Major has not pulled his
coat off for line Of supposed farmer
candidates who have appeared within
the last ten years. With the excep-
tion of one Of them there was no
more possibility of his getting nom
ination than there was that the editor
of the Wdtchman would be called to
the executive chair. Whether Mr..
Grout favored or disfavored these
whom Anonymous accuses as being
candidates we cannot tell. If he was
potent in preventing the election of
either, or if his help would have
compa ssed his nomination, it shows
that he had an influence that indi-
Gated some personal strength. The
Wdtchndn issues illumination under
it's own colors and undertakes to be-
little the Major because in his brief
career as a lawyer he did not figure
in long line of important law cases.
Granted; but it is we'll known that he
did attain distinction as a young law
yer by his ability to handle cases, his
pleadings, and his power with a jury.
The Stickney organ is struggling hard
to find some point of attack on the
character or the ability of Major
Grout, and the small things which it
resorts to, demonstrate the fact bet
ter than almost anything else, that
the Major is a strong and formidable
candidate. To properly wind up the
illumination referred to a snatch of
poetry is paraphrased from Tom
Brown as follows:
A mighty man is Major Grout;
In what respect can't point out,
But this we know beyond doubt,
A mighty man is Major Grout.
And now we will "tackle' the same
verse:
A mighty man is Major Grout;
A little fact you'll soon find out,
When Ropes and Sticks put to rout,
And nomin ee is Maj jor Grout

The Dominion department of marine
and fisheries has just issued a report
which furnishes instructive informa-
tiou regarding the extent and value
of Canadian fisheries. The total
value of their production for last year
was $40, ,719, ,573, which is slightly less
than for the preceding yeay. More
than 10000 fishermen explore Can
adian seas and inland waters for a
living, and more than S9,000,000 are
ow invested in fishing vessels, boats,
nets and other implements. The total
expenditure Of the go " ernment for
all the fishery service during the past
year aggregated $42O, ,165, and the
amount for revenue derived during
the same period from license fees was
nearly S95, 700. The sum of $16O, 900
was paid out last year in fishing boun
ties The fish hatcheri es of Canada
during the past year turned out no
less than 294,OOO,OOO fry including
salmon, whitefish, salmon trout, Pa
cific salmon and Holsters. American
vessels are licensed in Canadian seas
upon payment of a yearly license at
the rate of $1.50 per registered ton,
the total number of vessels SO licens-
ed last year having been forty seven,
their total tonnage 3,714, and total
amount received from them in license
fees being $5,570.12. The figures are
much less than those of any previous
year since 1888, which seems to indi-
cate that United States fishermen are
finding out that they can do as we'll or
better in their own waters than those
of Canada. The commander of the
Canadian fisheries protection service,
however, traces the diminution to an
other source, namely, to the large
number of American vessels believed
to fish or rather to obtain Canadian
supplies for fishing without license.

just aborted. She was in bad shape, giving
less than half pint of watery milk. l COM
menced giving her your medicine and she inn
proved at once. She is now giving over eight
quarts of milk per day. Another of my cows
showed every symptom of aborting, in fact
felt sure she would do so in a very short time.
A few doses of Kow- KURE reduced the symp-
toms and she is now past the trying period.
feel sure that without your medicine those
two cows would have become dead loss this
year. think Kow-KURE is great medicine
for the prevention and cure of abortion, the
toning up of the system and to increase the
flow of milk. wish you all success.

KOW-KURE

is the greatest thing ever discover
ed for cows. 1t is a medicine, not
a food. 1t places the animal in q
position to get the best out of food.
1t prevents abortion, and pays for
itself more than ten times over in
the increase Of milk. This COW
medicine was not put out until it
had stood the test of seven years
and proved itself to be a success.
Kow-KURE does much more than
to prevent and cure abortion. 1t
tones up the digestive organs, in
creases the appetite, improves the
general condition and prevents tu-
berculosis. Kow-KURE is not like
anything else ever made. 1t is
medicine for the COW and the COW
only. 1t is made in Vermont, by
Vermonters, to be used 10y Yer

KOw- KURE Coz
DEAR SIRs-The following statement of facts
is sent to you for what it is worth: There
certainly an epidemic of abortion in the herd
of dairy COWS here under my charge. We
used your Kow-KURE, and we have apparent
ly got rid of the abortion. =
During the years 1888 and 1889 there were
ten U0) abortions here on the Agricultural
College farm, and but (3) calves were dropped
on time and lived.
In January, 1890, at the suggestion of Mr.. A.
l. Hayward, we obtained some of YOUR Kow
KURE, and began using it as preventive of
abortion. mo record was kept regarding it's
influence on the yield of milk. During this
year we have had eight (S) live calves, and
good ones, and but one case of abortion. This
one case late in the season, and a heifer;
this animal had refused to eat her grain when
the powders were mixed in it, and thinking
the disease had disappeared, made no
special effort to get her to take the medicine.
We have pure bred Ayershire tbat aborted
(frst calf in 1888, and again in 1889; she is
now carrying her calf well, and is within
few days of her right period of calving. Fl
Very respectfully yours,
