butter Once More.
The long disputed butter question
came up again this week. A dealer
was arrested for selling oleo-margar.
inc for butter, without having the
word s'oleo. margarine" stamped on
the tub. In the course of the trial a
great many interesting facts came out.
il was asserted that all t.h Q
butter that came to this mar
ket was worked over and colored to
suit the fancy of the market. Liver
pool wanted white butter, London a
yellow. They both get it out of the
same lots, annato making the differ
ence. Oleomargarine, it was asserted
was as sweet and wholesome as but
ter, and only an expert could detect
the difference. In fact the best diary
men of the country were buying it in
large quantities to mix with their
milk, and scarcely any but.
ter that comes to New York is free
from it. One dealer testified that it
was better than butter, for it never be-
comes rancid, or in any way strong.
The offending dealer was dismissed
with caution TO be very particular
in branding his oleomagarine so that
the word could be seen of men and
women also.

THE REMAINS OF COLUMBUS.
0mctai Statement Of the Finding of the Bones
OF the Discoverer of America I'm san Domingo.

Washington, Novem Der 1.-The
United States Consul at San Domin.
60 has transmitted to the depart.
ment of State an account of the re-
cent discovery of the bones of Col
umbus in the cathedral in that city.
Dying in Spain, in 1906, the remains
of Columbus were first deposited in
the Convent of st. Francis in 1913
They were transferred to the Car.
tbusian Convent at Las Cuenas, from
whence they were shipped to San
Domingo 10 1886 and deposited IN
the cathedral of that city. In 1896
these remains, as it was then and
up to the present discovery believed,
were conveyed in great oomp to the
Cathedral of Havana, where they
were supposed to have reposed ever
since. The Consul at San Domingo
says that while some workmen were
digging up the floor around the pull
pit IN the cathedral, TO make som
repairs, they exposed to view q wall
ed orifice containing leaden case
two feet long by about eight inches
deep and eight inches wide, the in
scription on which bore incontestible
evidence that the contents were the
bones of Christopher Colum bus. I'M
mediataIy on this discovery being
made the remains were restored TO
their original resting place and the
recepticle walled up. On the 10sh
of September in the presence of the
Governor and other Government
officials and the various Consuls
amid the sound of martial music and
the booming of cannon. the remains
were again exhumed, the box, homes
and inscription examined and the
facts recorded and attested to by all
the officials and consuls present. The
lead box containing the remains was
then enclosed in another box, care
fully sealed with the seals of the
Consnls, to be opened only in their
presence, and placed in the custody
of Padre Bilini, in the church of
Regina Angelorum, to be held by
him subject to investigation of any
foreign commissions DESTROYS of sat.
isfying themselves of the facts, and
until suitable amount can be raised
to erect fitting monument over the
remains. 1t being suggested that
other countries might like to con-
tribute to the erection of this mon
ument, the various consuls were re-
quested to bring the subject to the
attention of their respective Govern
ments in order to give them a chance
to do so. The ancient records of the
cathedral in San Domingo having
been long ago destroyed by vandals,
20 facts concerning the supposed re-
moval of these remains to Havana
can be ascertained in San Domingo,
but it is copjectured that the monks
palmed of on the Spaniards the re-
mains Of somebody else. retaining to
themselves and their cathedral the
venerated bones of the great naviga-
tor.

The Silver Bill.

The lower House of Congress, on
Monday, passed bill on the silver
question, known as BANDS Silver
Bill, which reads as follows:
SECTION l. There shall be coined. at the
several minis oil the United States, silver dol
lars of the weight of 4121 grains, Troy, of
standard silver, as provided in the act of Jan.
Is, 1887, on which there shall be the devices
and superscriptions provided by said act,
which coins, together with all silver dollars
heretofore coined by the United States, of like
weight and fineness, shall be a legal tender at
their nominal value for all debts and dues,
public and private, except where otherwise
provided by contract, and any owner of silver
bullion may deposit the same at any United
States coinage mint or assay office, TO be COIN
ed into such dollars for his benefit, upon the
same terms and conditions as gold bullion is
deposited for coinage under the existing law
SEC. ?. All acts and parts of acts inconsist-
ent with the provisions of this act are hereby
repealed.
This is substantially the legisla-
ton asked for by the Republican
platform of Wisconsin.

Col. john G. CLARK addressed
the largest Republican meeting held
in Lancaster this campaign, on Sat-
urday evening. His speech was very
different from the usual speeches this
year but he stood carefully within the
limits prescribed by the Republican
platform of this State that is, on the
finance question. Some people seem
to think that the Republicans want
hard money only. If any persons
have been told so it was by the falsi.
flying crowd who undertook to carry
this election by lies and ISLANDERS
Thus far in history the only party true
to the Greenbacks is the Republican
party. The lying concern, fraction
OF which is printed in Lancaster, has
said repeatedly that the HERALD OPP
posed the reconciliation of silver and
its greenhorn readers probably be-
lieye the statement, while every word
that has been said upon the subject
in the HERALD is in favor Of the re,
monetization, and the facts stated in
the HERALD from documents on rec
ord 60 to show clearly that the Re
publican party is not responsible for
the demonstration The whole stock
in trade of the silly Greenback move
ment has been lies, and under the
leadership of Brick Pomeroy could
not be anything else. The rank and
file of the Greenback party believe as
the Republican party does. They
want Greenbaek currency, gold mon
ey and silver money and they want a
dollar of one TO be equal to dollar
of another. In other words they want
Uncle Sans promise to pay to be al
ways at par. This was the position
taken by Col. Clark. 1t is the posi-
ton that will rule in this country
whatever party comes into power.
The Greenback nonsense as it has
been advocated by Cary, Harper and
their silly organs would be laughed
out of any legislative house that will
aver come together in this country
Col. Clark advocated the remoneti-
cation of silver with coinage so regu-
lated as 10 maintain equality of value
and that the harmonious circulation
of gold, silver and legal tender must
be preserved. Our excess of exports
of goods and imports OF specie with
the retention at home of the gold and
silver product of our mines Will maerh
us right on to specie payments regard
less OF our ideas and our acts.

Milwaukee complete gives Mallory,
for Governor, 2l2 majority-a Repub.
lican gain of 1900 over last year.
Two hundred and ten towns give Smith
1000 plurality over Mallory The net Re-
publican gain is 900 The Republicans clam
the election of Smith by from 5000 to 5000
majority: but the Democrats claim that they
have elected at least part of their State tick
ct.
The Republicans gained largely in
the State of New York. New York
city elects two Republicans out five
State Senators. The Republicans
will have a small mojority in the State
Senate and the Democrats small
majority in the House.
Massachusetts has gone Republican
by 1900 majority. The Legislature
is largely Republican in both branch
cs.
In Virginia the election almost
went by default. Not quarter of
the vote was polled. There was no
Republican ticket.
Pennsylvania shows a Democratic
majority on the State ticket. No
news as to the legislature.
Connecticut has done better than
expected. There was no State ticket
The Republicans have certain and
large maiorities n both branches of
the Legislature. Among the members
elect is L. t. 3arnum, the Snowman.
Maryland is Democratic of course.
There was no Republican ticket
there. The opposition, calling them
selves Workingmen made but small
show against the Democrats.
In Louisiana ticket called Repub-
lican and Administration, elected a
Mayor of Shreveport by 600 ma
iority.
Minnesota gives the usual Repub-
lican majority on light vote. The
Legislature is at least two-thirds Re-
publican.

msjority and Nebraska is believed to
be safe.

Governor by reduced Democratic
majority.

by the next stroke.
Nichol took from the table a vol.
ume of Webster's speeches and read
therefrom towering flight of oratory
that Cary had stolen, distorted and
used in his peroration as his own, as
follows:
"THIS is THE MOST EFFECT
UAL OF INVENTIONS TO FER
TILIZE THE RICH MANS FIELD
BY THE SWEAT OF THE POOR
MANS BROW" etc, the finest pas
sage that ever passed his lips.
A shout went up from the audience
which was subdued by a feeling of
pity for an old man, prominent man
and an orator, who in five minutes
had been convicted by documentary
proof of misrepresentation and plagi-
arism. Every man knew how Cary
felt-that he had been beaten, cleaned
out, annihilated.
And every man who heard that de-
bate and votes the Green5ack ticket
knows that in doing so be is voting
for reputation, communism and an
archy.
AT the close Of the meeting, Messrs
L. G Stanley and Fl. S. Allen request
ed Mr.. Cary to divide the time at
Chippewa Falls with Mr.. Nichol, they
being anxious to have Mr.. Nichol
present his array of facts against
Cary's yarns and jokes, which were
grand food for the ordinary Green
back mind.
Mr.. Cary peremptorIly declined to
divide the time at the Falls, he want
ed no sword exercise with Thos. NJ
Nichol, who is the best posted man
on finances that ever spoke before an
Eau Claire audience, and his manner
Of presenting The facts Is the most
forcible.
Mr.. Cary was overmatched, unex-
pectedly to himself, and it is no won.
der he wanted no more of it at Chip
pewa Falls. He dare not meet Nichol
even on an unfair division of time, as
was the case yesterday. The old
Greenbacker and his unmannerly
mob were routed completely, and he
knows it; but God help the weak
minded followers who now are in
bllssful ignorance that such was the
case, and are lending their voices to-
day in behalf OF the vanquished
Greenbackcr at Music Hall, yester-
day. As for himself, he wants no
more Of Nichol, who treated him gen
tlemanly and received from him no
such treatment in return.

their safe keeping, and no one else has
any right to give any orders concerning
