RUSSIA CANNOT BE TRUSTED.

If peace has been purchased upon the
terms stated, it cannot be 9 lasting one.
Russia's appetite will be merely whetted
by the mouthfuls that England offers her.
When it was accorded with her interest
and wishes to break an agreement with
Great Britain she has never found it diff
cult to discover reasons for 30 doing. The
experience of the past enables us to read
the future. England will be forced to pay
a heavy price in time to come for the pres
emit exemption from war which her Quaker
Premier is buying for her.-Detroit Post,

A rolling platform is to be built, for conveni-

Work ssnIe.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jar. 15 = The itss annual
report OF tho New York Stats D&iry Commits
siouer was sent to the Senate this morning
The Commissioner says that the investigation
by the Senate committee of public health re-
vealed the fact that large quantities of imita-
tion butter, known as oieomargarine, butterine,
etc., were annually sold in the cities of New
York and Brooklyn as genuine dairy butter
He became satisfied that although limited
quantities Of these goods we're sold in different
parts of the State, yet by far the greater por-
tion was handled and sold in these two cities.
and, therefore, as soon as practicable we COM
menced and continued prosecutions against
those engaged in this unlawful traffic at points
where the violations were most numerous and
the dealers strongest The effect of the work
has been TO suppress over rs per cent of the
sales of spurious butter in this Stats as COM
pared with this sales OF 1888. That reduction
of the sales of these goods In 1884 amounts to
fully 10000 pounds daily, equivalent to pro-
tectiDg 100000 persons from being imposed on.
He is assured by many merchants and dealers
ia butter, that as a result of these arrests and
prosecutions at least 80 per cent of the unlaw-
ful traffic has been broken up

ing sorrow.
Mrs. Smiths will contained number OF be-
quests to charitable institutions, which made
no reference to rum and tobacco. The judge
intimated that the bequests relative to the use
of rum and tobacco, would have to be declared
void by reason of their vagueness. The relig-
ious societies were not all properly named in
the bequests made to them and counter claims
were put in. The court took them all into
consideration.
