FOOD ADULTERArION.

Our dispatches relate that there Is s
good deal of agitation of the subject Of
the aduiteratlon Of food In the New
York legislature. Some rather start
ling figures were given by member VI
the senate, who was one OF the commit
the which reported bill 20 check the
adulteration OF food, and especially
aimed at oleomargarine. He stated
that one-half the butter manufactured IN
the state was made from hog fat and oils
imported from France and Italy, and
that this mixture was colored with
chemicals. Ofthe one hundred million
pounds Of butter made In the state from
forty to sixty millions were bogus, and
in consequence OF the sale Of this stuff
at G low price the dairy interests suf-
fered loss of 100000.
The subject Of the adulteration of food
is one of interest to the people, and we
have no doubt but that thorough inyes-
tigation in other states than New York
would induce almost a panic. and no
doubt but that thousands Of lives would
be annually saved throughout the coun-
try if the subject could be ventilated.
The proper committee in the New
York legislature has also under consid-
Grafton the canned fruit question
and has made q favorable report on q
bill which provides that it shall not be
lawful "for any manufacturer of pre-
served or canned fruits, vegetables, or
other articles OF food, to offer such
canned articles for sale unless the cans
which contain the same shall have first
been prominently stamped with the
year in which such article or articles
were canned" There Is no better evil
dcnce that this law ought to be passed
than that which is afforded by the fact
that the manufacturers of such goods
are opposing 1t vigorously. That
canned fruit consumers have suffered
from the contamination of the tin and
from the unwholsome character of the
contents of a can which has been carried
over from year TO year there are ample
and accommodating evidences, not only
IN New York, but in the country gen
orally.
The Ohio legislature is also dealing
with the subject Of oleomargerine, and
1t Will not be many years we trust before
the public everywhere will demand q
closer inspection Ofwhat is sold to them
to eat. The public health would b
greatly enhanced by legislative restric-
ton on all kinds of questionable food.

ANOTUER WARNING.

A Bad Sheer DIsease.

New CORNERSTONE, Ohio, March %
"A peculiar malady termed grub is
just now carrying off many sheep in
this section and sad havoc Is being made
among some of our wool growers hccks.
The disease Is caused by a worm called
the grub and Is very distressing. One
egg of q worm is deposited in the nostIil
of sheep in July or August by a pecu-
liar kind of fly and the grub matches
out in March and begins burroughing
toward the brain which, when penetrat
ed, kills the animal at once. There is
no known remedy for it. The worm is
about the size Of common grub worm
and has the gimlet appearance of that
worm. Mr. Richard King, prominent
farmer has already lost thirty of his
finest sheep, and other farmers have lost
nearly their entire flock.

break was the acquittal before one Of the
local courts, Of Berner, who was guilty
Of the most cold blooded murder. But
the feeling which eliminated in this
riot has existed long time and has been
famed into flame which may do great
damage by the lameness of the law in
Furnishing criminals. The statutes seem
to have been formed for the especial
benefit of that interesting member Of

weakness, or corruption, has almost

Of late date said: SIN the last few

abuse has grown to such an extent, that

PESHPPEOTED

The Morrison tariff bill "bobs up Sc
renely" again. twas thought TO be lying
in dying condition for several weeks,
but it seems Morrison was not asleep.
He managed to keep the breath of life
in 1t until the doctors could be got to
gether. The stimulant of the Democrat
ic caucus raised it to its feet. The de-
bate was sharp for time but the friends
Of the measure were a little too
much for its opponents, and the Randall
party could not administer the death
stroke as they anticipated. The bill
was adopted by the caucus and ordered
TO q speedy passage.
One good brother from Pennsylvania,
where they don't want the Morrison law
at all, moved that the action OF this eau
Gus should not be binding upon any
member. But this sort OF thing had
been anticipated, and was met with the
pertinent inquiry; "What is the
use of having caucus, if
it means nothing?" That was a
knock-known argument for Democrat
and the good brother was squelched
Having gained so substantial victory
Mr.. Morrison did not propose to be
robbed of its fruits, and obtained an ex-
preston that all faithful Democrats
should yield their opinions to those ex.
pressed by majority of the party eau
Gus. The resolution to pass the bill wa
adopted by avOte of ia to 81 Eight Of
the Carlisle men were absent, giving
them clear, positive strength of 1872
They claim that with the caucus endorse
ment, for no one affects to regard 1t al
anything else, they will be able to secure
the necessary 100 votes to put the bill
through the house. When this
party whip had thus beer
applied, the Randall men ap
parently lost most OF their interest
Many of them left the caucus, while
those who remained took no part in tn,
deliberations. In order to catch the sup
port of the Democrats from tobacco
growing states, Speaker Carlisle imme
diately put in supplementary PROPOSE
non to engraft on the Morrison bill
scheme to cut of all the internal reven
ne and special taxes on tobacco, smut
and cigars and to reduce the tax OIL
peach brandy to ten cents per gallon
He was careful to. add that this shoul'
not be adopted until the tariff should b
reformed on the Morrison plan, and ii
the resolution stated 1t was simply I
complete the reduction of war taxes
The Randall men would gladly vote 70
this last plan, if it could be divorce,
from the tariff bill but, as ordered, the
are inseparable. The tobacco part wa
adopted-SSt to 81.

years was made up of Garfield, Frye.
Randall and Aleck Stephens. Stephens
played a wonderful game. After the
first two or three turns he had an unfail-

were held. Frye Is a strong, impulsive
