Adulterati0n of Food.

We see from late city papers that
among other impositions in the way
of adulterated food, lardine now de-
mands the most attention. 1t is a
very clever and cheap imitation of
butter, and is composed of butter,
lard and other ingredients, which we
do not know. 1t is ar,ificially colored,
and can hardly be detected, even by
experts. In the East it has been
condemed as unwholesome, and we
should judge 1t is. The Western
market is flooded with it at the pres
ent time. This matter demands the
attention Of our legislature Lardine
is not the only, or the worst imposi
ton in the way of adulterated food
that in its cheapness is driving out
wholesome and pure food, and under
mining the health Of our people. The
only way to obviate this growing evil
IS to pass law to compel merchant
to have his goods labeled. This is the
case in many states. Then if a man
wants lardine he can buy it know
ingly, and lot go home happy in the
thought that he has purchased pure
dairy butter very cheap. This mat
ter demands attention.

CONGRESSIONAL.
Special Correspondence of the Ledger.

Special Correspondence OF the Ledger
WASHINGTON, January 13.-The
debate on the funding bill has devel-
oped great opposition to some of its
features. AS it was reported by Mr..
Wood, of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, it antagonized many theories
and interests, but the ground occu-
pied by Mr.. Wood when his meas
ure was introduced at the last ses-
sion was in advance of the admins
tration and of all other measures
except Judge Buckner's. Since Mr..
Sherman's change of front, however,
it is regarded as also falling behind
the present askings and recommends
tions of the Secretary. Mr.. Woods
amendment reducing his proposed
rate of interest was a step in the
right direction, but the feeling of
most of those that have spoken is
against long bonds. Rather than
authorize long bonds, many would
be willing to continue the present
rate Of interest as costing l. >s in the
end than lower percentage for a
long period. Six per cent for ten
years is only sixty per cent. but 3
per cent. for forty years would be
one hundred and twenty per cent,
or twice as much, and consequently
would demand twice as much taxa
ton. Moreover, most of the reform
ers think the national debt has been
manipulated by the party in power
so as to favor monopoly and reta n
position, and, therefore, prefer pay
ing the bonds as they fall due, or as
shortly thereafter as possible, as
tending to the Introduction of purer
and less selfish policies.
The new Secretary of the Navy
has entered upon the dischlrge OF
his duties. The Ponca council has
enthusiastically endorsed the agree
ment entered into for them by their
chiefs. The struggle for position in
the coming cabinet still goes on. II
seems to be pretty generally conced,
ed that Mr.. Blaine will be Secretary
of State. The In ,ian appropriation
pill has been reported. discussed and
passed in the House. Capt. Eads is
urging his plan of transit before the
Committee on Foreign Affairs. As

Marriage License.

There is a bill before the House.
and petition, we believe, being cir
cuiated in Mexico, to require q per-
son to obtain marriage license be
fore the ceremony can be reformed
by justice of the peace or minister
of the gospel. This is the law of H.
inois and many other States, and
should be the law of every State in
the Union. Hardly week passes,
but what we see the need of such a
law. Not long since case came
under our notice in which minister
of this city married couple, both of
whom held the girl was of age. She
certainly looked to be of age. A few
days after the ceremony, the father
of the girl from some reason-think-
ing to make some money, maybe
threatened the minister with the law.
The girl lacked few weeks OF being
of age. She had insisted to the min
ister that she was of age. The parent
said that for S25 he would compro
mise. The minister, knowing thai he
was caught foul, gave up the S25 in
order to save trouble. We have in
our mind another case that occurred
in this city only a few weeks since,
which, rumor says, will bring the
minister before the grand jury. In
the last case also, both parties insist
ed that the lady was of age. Our
Legislature should by all means pass
a law making it necessary that parties
should procure a marriage license
Much trouble and vexation would in
this way I've saved-to our preachers,
at least. Their fee as allowed by
law-$2 50-is very small, and they
run a risk in marrying even an old
looking girl. All trouble would be
avoided when contracting parties are
compelled to procure a marriage Ii
cense, and we feel sure such Nill soor
be the case.

Mind Your Own Business.

Ameng many other good resolu-
tions we made last New Years day
was, ''that in 1881, we would attend
strictly to our own business, and let
other people attend to theirs" While
we do not now expect to break this
resolution, we will have to refer t.
some people who make our business
their especial care. We have only
room to cite one circumstance :
There are in Mexico, as we'll as in
other places, men who think they
know it all. They know all about
their own and your business; they
know all about farming, merchandise,
&C. they, in their egotism, will talk
your arm off, if you will give them a
chance. There appears to be such
an individual IN Mexico. We wish
him a happy New Year. We have
nothing against him. and if we did
it would not amount to much. There
are men like the one we have described
who think they help their own dying
cause by picking at US. They will
tell man after he has had a job of
work done, something like this {:
"Why! Did Bob White charge ycu
$50 for that job? We could have
done it for S24," &c. Now this per-
son may be ignorant. We don't
think he would misrepresent any
thing but how man could do a job
for S24, when the stock without being
touched cost more than that, Is more
than we can tell His knowing that
the job was done may have had some
thing to do with it; but We dwell toe
long on small men and small matters
We are attending to our own busi.
ness, and want; t;other people to do
the same. 1t will prove better for all
parties.
