HUMAN FOOD ADULTERATIoN.
Mr.. FOULKE called up the bill S 229l
defeated yesterday, the leslion being on a
special committees amendment to permit
the manufacture and sale Of eleomargarine
when properly marked or branded. and not
deleterious TO health.
Mr.. WILLARD moved a substitute for the
report by striking out all that relates to
oleomargsrine OF any other substance to be
used for butter. The attempt il here made
TO repeal O bill already passed the Senate to
prevent the manufacture and sale of oleo-
margarine, as we'll as other acts on the stat
ute book on that subject, so the committe
amendment is not german. Ia order to
avoid this difficulty, move to strike from
the bill all having reference to oleomarga-
rine.
Mr.. YOUCHE: hope the substitute will
not prevail. What 1 said yesterday / will
not repeat. The establishment referred to
in my county employs about 800 men, and
the prohibiting Of the manufacture of oleo-
margarine will take away the livelihood Of
some 1900 people in that town, and stop the
making of az wholesome an article of food as
comes upon the table. / can not believe we
will enact legislation against any citizen
pursuing an ayocation that will not inter-
fere with the health of any one.
nr. MAGEE: The substitute would de-
stroy the effect of bill that was passed the
Senate without due consideration, which
would drive out of existence q mandatory
in Lake County, one of the largest of the
State, with capital OF 500. GOO. upon which
tsx IL paid amounting 10 about So. 900.
Mr.. BROWN demanded the previous
question.
Tie Senate seconded the demand, and IN.
der its operations the substitute was rejected
by yt ss Is, nays %.
Mr.. BAILEY: The committee amend
ment was voted down yesterday. 1t seeks
10 destroy the effects OF a bill which has al
ready passed the Senate. The manufacture
of oleomargarine is only an incident TO the
business. 1t is not fair TO argue that this
establishment Will be driven from the State,
because an expenditure OF IS, 900 or $40, coo
would remove that incident to the business
across the State line, little ways from the
main building. Then the great dairy pro-
ducing business of this State should not be
injured By the manufacture of such dele,eri-
Gus substances TO take the place OF butter,
ard thus reduce the price of that article,
thereby expressing the farming interests oil
The State.
The report OF the committee was CONQUERED
in by yeas - nays 10.
The bill failed to pass for want of a consti
tutional majority-yeas, %; nays, 81.
GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL.
The senate resumed the consideration OF
the bill III. r. 479.
Mr.. FOWLER moved to strike out the
item allowing 5000 for clerk to the Adju-
tant General. There 10 no law authorizing
any such oncer, and you can not create 3
statute in an Appropriation bill.
Mr.. WEIR hoped the amendment would
not be passed.
Mr.. MARSHALL: 1t does not seem proper
that the Senate should commence cutting
down salaries on 8 one-armed soldier
Mr.. FOWLER: / don't want to commence
with a one-arm soldier or any other soldier
If the records in that office sre in a bad
shape, what has the Adjutant General been
doing the psst four years? He has been
travelling over tue State getting up sham
battles. IL these records need copying there
can De plenty OF men obtained who will dc
the work for less than 81 400 year.
The amendment was rejected by yeas ID
NAYS 26.

soldier for the loss OF an arm by monieo
consideration, vote no"
Mr.. BENZ: The people look 10 the Demo
cratic party for economy. We can't afford
to give this man a clerk. l vote mo-"
Mr.. MCCULLOUGH: The number of Offices
should not be increased in an appropriation
bill. therefore vote aye"
Mr.. THOMPS0N: The party in the ma
jority here presented itself before the people
as the party of economy, and | can not see
why that party should forego shat promise
10 the people. I vote aye"
Mr. WEIR: Believing this officer needs the
services OF this clerk, vote no.
