THE RIdHT TO MAKE BUTTERISH.
1t having been asserted that the
cult In which the New York Court OF
Appeals recently DECIDED the law pro-
hibiting the manufacture OF oleomar-
garino u DO unconstitutional was
bogus, some Pennsylvania manufac-
Jurors OF oleomorgsrine are preparing
q test case against the recently ap.
proved prohibitory act in this State.
Under this law bill for butterine can
not be collected after the LIST of July,
and IL IL proposed very soon after that
date TO send a consignment labeled

session OF that tribunal. Whatever
may have been the actual character OF
the suit brought in New York, it is not
TO be wondered at that the butterine
prohibitors finally lost II, considering
the remarkable position taken by their
counsel, Judge Hand, in the course of
his argument. Judge Hand asserted

and asserted the right of the State to
prohibit electric lighting, because, if
universally adopted, it would decrease

great deal Of New York capital Is in

NEW YORK NEXT FALL
1t is safe to say there are $4,000 more
Democrats than Republicans in the
State. intelligent and truthful Re
publicans do not seriously question
but it seems to be very difficult to get
such q vote in the great State. Last
ear many Irishmen voted for
Mr.. Blaine and many Inde-
pendents voted for Mr.. Cleveland.
What will the two classes of
political kickers do this year? The
Republicans are in q quandary. They
do not know whether 1t would be best
to try to retain last years Irish vote
by putting in nomination for governor
General Carr, the present Secretary Of
State and a Catholic, or whether it
would pay better to nominate such n
man az Seth Lou, the present mayor
Of Brooklyn, In the hope of bringing
the Independents back. In either
nomination or either line Of policy
not quite prepared to leave the party
that has stood by them through thick
and thin; and besides, there Is great
deal OF bigotry in the State, which
might overwhelm ticket headed
who was put up on &C
count Of his particular religion. But
on the other hand the Independents
are well pleased with Mr.. Cleveland's
administration, and their pride will
induce them to desire an Endorsement
Of their action last fall. They will be
very apt to indorse the man whom
they voted for last fall, and whose
course in Office has secured their ap-
proyal. The Republicans are counting
on the discomfort or in-feeling of cor
not secured all they demanded; but
discomfort and revolt are two very diff
ferent things, and when the election
comes around it will be found that the
Democrats will be on hand, and there
will be enough to see that the vote is

AMERICAN MONEY ON DEPOSIT IN
EUROPE.
A report of the New York Clearing
House Association, published last
March, estimated the amount of for
eign exchange then held by the banks
of this city at from $20,000,000 to $780,
100000. The statistics of our foreign
commerce show that this is not the

tied in Europe. The money value of
the exports of merchandise from
this country during the II
months ending May 81 was $747, 037,-
3s6, and that OF the imports of mer-
chandise into the country only $780,
1891, $3.50. This leaves balance in our
favor of $166,699,747. OF this balance
we have received in specie $5,442, OF.
Where is the remaining $161, 157 $40?
Ofcourse portion of the balance in
our favor has been Cancelled by the
payment of debts due for our mer-
chants and bankers to their foreign
creditors. Another portion has been
remitted in the shape OF our own rail-
road and other securities sent here for
sale by foreign holders. Something, too,
must be allowed for money spent by
Americans travelling or residing in
foreign countries. But it Is difficult to
believe that these items amount to

wonderful change from the days when
everybody in the United States, from
high to low, had to go to Europe to
procure money for new enterprises,
and when a rise in the rate Of discount
of the Bank of England sent cold

HONEST PRIMARIES.
There are great many very good
citizens, in general way, who never
attend primary elections, and think it
is useless. Their excuse Is that few
party leaders run things to suit them
selves anyway, and that whichever
c|b;Gus has Of c0nt tSa OF pr sae ma IS
bound to come out ahead. The Illinois
primary election bill which has just
become law, going into effect the LIST
of July, is in the nature of an enabling
act. It does not require any party or
locality to work under its PROVISIONS:
