Herman Walker, prominent Gut
tenburg Republican, has offered to the
Salvation Army plot of land containing
dozen or more acres, in Fairview, to be
used for farming purposes. No rent will
be charged. The offer will probably be
accepted, and the Salvationists will be
able to give employment and reasonable
wages to poor men who desire to cult
vate the soil and raise vegetables under
their 'potato patch plan," which has
been worked successfully in the West.

Mrs. Rebecca Parker. of Camden
died short time ago. Her husband
Peter, and her mother are now fighting
for her estate, which is a large one
When Mrs. Parker died her husband filed
will, dated in 1896, in the Orphans

property. Her mother says that by will
dated this year her daughter had Cancelled
the previous will, and that her daughter
left her all her property. The woman
said that her daughters husband, aftel
death, induced her to show him the viii

ises to be bitter one.

purchases for consumption, cannot be
long delayed. In some branches it is
felt already. There is larger distribution
of finished products, and the demand for
commercial loans has sharply increased,
especially in dry goods and the iron and
steel branches. Failures for the week
have been 2I5 in the United States, against
26I last year, and so in Canada, against
49 last year.-Dgn'S Re0iezO March 70.
Silver Is on the down grade in the mar
kets as we'll as in financial systems. 1t
was quoted yesterday at 81 cents, and this
was Imerely a nominal price, for there
have really been no transactions of conse-
quence in the metal for months. This is
in sad contrast to the activity which pre-
vailed last August, when a silver dollar
had assumed a vast deal more importance
than gold eagle. and seemed to represent
much more to some people. Then silver
was in eager demand at 7oH@7oHc. an
ounce, land investors were promised a
profit of 100 per cent in the course of a
few months.
The hardest blow struck silver was, of
course, Mr.. Bryan's defeat, but the world
elsewhere is turning away from what is no
longer a precious metal. First Russia
and then Japan announced its intention
to adopt the gold standard, and now it is
beginning to be asserted that India will
soon coin legal tender gold. This leaves
China as the only extensive user of silver
in Asia, and with the Chinese silver is
only commodity rather than money.
The arts and industries furnish, therefore,
the only market for the bullion, and
largely increased as its use must be with
its growing cheapness it is not sufficient to
maintain old prices. At present there is
no prospect of improvement.-Lo

VIOLENT measures are not always COM
mendable, although they appear to be
sometimes excusab1e, and ministers of the
gospel are the very last persons who
should allow themselves to swerve from
the straight path. If the reports are true,
Rev. G. H. Hills, of Chester, Pa. has not
been acting in manner to gain much
sympathy. He had no right to go to his
wife's home, with knowledge of her alb
sence, and remove one of the children. In
some cases this action has been designat-
ed kidnapping. If, as Mr.. Hills AYERS,
the charges he makes against his wife will
be sustained beyond all shadow of doubt,
she will be shown to be totally unfit to be
the custodian of her children and thew
will probably be placed in charge of
their father. He should possess his soul
