TESTING THE BUTTER.

The Ohio Legislature has passed a
bill providing for the inspection of
butter and cheese "and all substances
having the semblance of butter and
cheese and of dairies and other places
where milk is sold or butter and cheese
manufactured, by inspectors appointed
by the State Board Of Health. Mr.
Robert Orr, superintendent of inspec-
tors, has issued a circular of instruc.
tons TO his subordinates, in which he
says
"When butter is properly churned
both as to time and temperature, it be-
comes firm with very little working
and is tenacious: but its most desirable
state is that of waxy, when it is easRs
moulded into any shape, and may be
drawn out considerable length with.
out breaking. It is then styled gilt
edged. 1t is only in this state thai
butter possesses that rich nutty flavor
and smell, and shows up rich golden
yellow color, which imparts so high a
degree of pleasure in eating it, and
which increases its value manifold.
cit is not always necessary when il
smells fresh and sweet to taste butter
in judging it. The smooth, unctuous
feel in rubbing little between the
finger and thumb expresses at once its
rich quality; the nutty smell and rich
aroma Indicate similar taste; and tht
bright golden, glistenlng, crealn-coloret
surface shows its high state Of cleanli
ness. 1t may be necessary at times tt
use the trier, or even use it until you
become an expert in testing by taste
smell and rubbing"

The candidates, however, declined to
accept the nominations, and the
"Straightouts'' adjourned, with only a
platform to show as the result of their
labors. Gen. Wickham had been most
persistent in demanding the nomination
of straightout Republican ticket, and
his course in declining nomination
looks inconsistent. Both wings of the
convention were composed mainly of

THE CRISIS IN ENGLAND.

Many years ago, Macaulay declared
that "the institution of the peerage is
evidently dying natural DEATH"
Lord Salisbury, who has succeeded the
Earl of Beaconsfeld as the Tory leader
in the House of Lords, is efficiently
fastening the progress of its dissolu-
ton. Following his lead, the Lords
struck out some of the features of the
Irish land bill deemed essential by the
liberal ministry. The House of Com
mons refused, by decided majorities,
to accept these changes. On Friday,
the Lords resolved to stand by their
amendments. Thus the popular branch
OF the English Parliament is antago-
nized by the hereditary branch upon

whole of long session. The aristoc
racy ande the landlords are arraved

islators disregard the demands of the
people, and oppose themselves to a
ministry backed by large majority of
the House of Commons. Their atti-
tude is exciting very general indig-
nation. Nearly all the leading journals
condemn it in emphatic language.
Even the Tory Standard attacks Lord
Salisbury. The Times says he incurs
a responsibility from which holder
man would shrink, and which prudent
statesman would decline. Mr.. Glad

Next to prohibitory laws, a high,
license law, strictly enforced, dimin-
ishes and discourages the liquor traffic.
The last legislature of Nebraska pass
ed law fixing $500 and $1,000 as the
prices of license for keeping drinking
saloons in that state, and requiring the
keepers to give bonds of $4,000 to obey
the laws and maintain decent houses.
The $1,000 licenses apply to cities of
over 10000 population, and the $500
licenses to towns and villages having
less than 10000 inhabitants. The Su-
preme Court of Nebraska has just
decided test case in which this high
license principle was involved. The
court decides that the law is constitu-
tional and valid in every particular
If strictly enforced, this Nebraska law
will prove almost as effective in its re-
strictive influence upon the liquor traf-
tic as will the Kansas law of prohibi-
tion.- Chicago Ecening Journal.

The low rail freight tariffs this sum
mer, as was to be expected, have had a
depressing effect on lake and canal
transportation. This has been appar-
ent here and at Chicago, and wonder
fully so az Buffalo, which is a converg-
ing point. The canal records show for
last month clearances of 11O1 boats,
against 1916 in July, 1880. Not a bar
rel of flour has been shipped by the
canal since the opening of navigation,
and less than half as much wheat as
last year; the opening, however, was a
month later than IN 1880. The July
tolls amount to $4,000, against $780,
900 in July of last year. The diversion
of traffic to the railroads has given
them partial compensation for their
extraordinarily low charges, and is a
constant argument against the reimpo-
sition of the old schedules without
modification. MiI,Caukee Sentinel.
