MosT of the Democratic papers are trying
to make it appear that Mayor Harrison said
nothing very heterodox at the Chicago ban
quet. The only notable exception is the
Louisville Courier-Journal, which has its
war-paint on and threatens to fight it gu; on
the free-trade line if it takes fifty years. 1t
is not difficult for the organs to show that
expectancy, and not principle, governs most
Democratic action. The Democratic party
is habitual wabbler, and not even the fiery
untamed Watterson can keep it straight.

BUrrER AND 0LEOMARGARINE.

There IL discomfort among those
wholesale butter. dealers in New York
who have perSistently. arrayed them
selves against the recognition OF oleo-
margarine in their trade. The new
product has come to stay, and it has
caused the loss Of much lucrative GUS
tom to those merchants who refused to
handle it.
At the outlet good deal of sympa-
thy was bestowed on the honest farm
er and dairyman whose industry was
menaced by the rival compound pro-
duced in the factories. But the thrifty
owner of the cattle has since risen to
meet emergency. He is now very ex-
tensively addicted to the practice of
buying oleOmargarine in large quanti-
ties and mixing it with the native ar
ticle in the ratio of about two parts of
the former to one of the latter. Then,
with the serene consciousness Of man
who has triumphed over an impend-
ing calamity, he sells the mixture as
q genuine dairy product.
Were oleomargarine an unwhole-
some article of diet, most of us would
long ago have been ill from its effects,
We may as well brace ourselves to
realize the fact that, in one form or an.
other, it is constantly palmed off upon
as butter, and almost invariably at
high prices in order to maintain the de-
ception. Hundreds OF grocerymen keep
their butter-tubs in parts oftheir stores
inaccessible to customers or buried in
ice-boxes where the brands are invisi-
BILE, thus evading the intent of the law.
What should be insisted on that oleo-
margarine, either plain or mixed,
should be retsiled at fair price with
out deception or disguise.

each. They are Indians, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Iowa and Kansas. In the South
4.6 bushels per capita of population is
used for human food. In the West the
average is nearly three bushels,
which is also about the average
for the whole country. Thus
about 10000, 900 bushels are consum-
ed for food. Work animals take 50,-
600, 900 bushels; and $50, OOO, 900 bushels
20 to fatten cattle and swine. This
leaves for export, seed, spirits and sur
plus only 166, 996, 100 bushels. For ten
years the home consumption has aver
aged about 1,275, 900, 900 bushels, and
the exports about 65,oeo,Oeo bushels.
The report is at some pains to show
that the increase in corn acreage has
been gradual and comparatively regu-
lar. The competition of one crop with
smother, and the practical difficulty of
much annual change in the aggregate
of all crops, except by the steady in
crease:.of farms and farmers, forbid the
spasmodic and extreme enlargement
Of area of my one crop, no matter What
may be the reports in the commercial
and speculative world.

COULD human being wish for greater
honor than those tributes Of respect,
veneration and love which have been so
spontaneously offered the lifeless re-
mains of PETER COOPER? 1t Is his
greatest glory that they come, not from
wealth, fashion and learning-though
these are not unmindful-but are the
unmeditated offerings Of love and graft
tude from the workingmen and women
whom he so munifcently befriended-
the laborlng but aspiring poor, whose
lives be has elevated, enriched and
blessed. Kings and Emperors might
we'll have felt themselves honored to
be his pall-bearers. But, whatever the
pageant Of his burial, nothing could
have been more to his honor than the
long lines of wOrkipgmen and women
who filed all day past his coffin, brought
thither not by empty curiosity, but
manifestly as the last Offering Of devo-
ton, love and gratitude which they
might make.

A CHINESE bride is valuable piece
of stuff, judging by the care that Is
taken of her after she has been pur-
chased and shipped to her owner. A
PROSPEROUS Chinaman of Bouldin island
bought daughter of sonora GEORGE"
and she was started off in state into
matrimonial captivity. The party were
detained thirty days on the way to
Stockton, during which time the bride
remained with her head wrapped up
in Chinese silks, which prevented her
from seeing any one, and Of course no
one could see her. At Stockton she
rode alone in carriage to the steamer,
while boys with lighted tapers occupied
a second carriage, aid Chinese women
filled a third hack. No men were per-
mitted to be near. She was escorted
aboard the boat by the party, and had
no opportunity to stray or DO stolen.
She had never seen her husband-to-be,
and would be married to him before
her face could be uncovered, according
to Monaghan regulation. This is liter
ally "going it blind into the bonds of
wCdlock.
