BOGUS BUTTER.-If the vile product
known as oeomargarine, butterine, &c, con.
tinues to be sold as butter, one creamery
after another will be broken up the country
over. Those who adulterate the food of q
nation are murderers and the utmost ven
geance of the law ought to be visited on
them. When the stuff was first made it was,
at least, honest beef suet But the wretches
who concoct it have cheapened even that.
The next step was the use of hogs lard. 1t
il now declared to be fact that they try
out the fat of the dead soap factory hogs
and use that for the base of the compound.
Fusel oil, soda ash, cotton seed oil, corn
starch, "caul and kidney beef suet," cows
udders, ground slippery elm bark, glycerine,
stearine and gelatine made from horses and
cows hoofs are some of the articles that go
into the manufacture of hog butter. The
list is taken from the patent Office at Wash
ipgton. where the materials are registered.
Io purify the mass it is treated with nitric
acid. Nitric acid is substance that would
burn it's way through anybodys hand ifa
drop should fall upon the back. That is
what it is. It would hardly be the square
thing to say these fellows should not make
hog butter but they should be forced to
label it what it is, and then grocers would
be ashamed to sell it, Many million pounds
were made last year. A microscopic analy-
SIS OF the oleomargarine has shown it often
to contain reaches legs and wings, dirt and
unspeakable ahominations.-Ereha

vertisement The prime, first, last and all

draw custom. 1t is not, was not, and never
will be designed for any other human pur-

season comes and his store is 50 full Of GUS
toners he can't get his hat off, and then he
rllshes to the newspapers and puts in his
advertisement. When the dull season gets
along and there is no trade and he wants
to sell goods so bad he can't pay his rent, he
takes out his advertisement. That some of
them do, but occasionally q level.headed
merchant puts in a bigger one and scoops
all the business. while his neighbors are
making mortgages TO pay the gas bill.
There are times when you couldn't stop
people from buying everything in the store
if you planted cannon behind the door,
and that's the time the advertisement is
sent out on its holy mission. 1t makes light
work for tho advertisement, for q chalk
sign on the side wall could do all that was
needed and have half holiday six days in
the week hut who wants to favor an ad-
verlsement. They are built TO do hard
work, and should he sent out in the dull
DAYS when a customer has to be knocked
down with hard facts, and kicked insensible
with bankrupt reductions and dragged in
with irresistible slaughter OF prices before he
will spend cent. That's the aim and end
OF al advertisement, my son, and if you
ever open store don't try to get them to

the windows, but give them your advertise.

interest. for there effort will be made to Show
that the change of administration has given the
predominant party additional power, while the
Republicans will have in view the reputation Of
Mr. Cleveland in his own State. The politics Of
New York have been more wisely handled from
this end of the line than in probably any other
State. With the President and two strong mem
bers of the Cabinet, the Treasurer, and many
other prominent officers, New York has been
we'll taken care of, and almost every faction
catered to-
Indiana will have a contest which will be OF
great interest to the whole country, on account
OF the apparent closeness of it, the doubt as to
the result, and then because, more especially,
the reelection of one of the most distinguished
Senators, General Harrison, depends upon il.
1t is well and VIGOROUSLY known that civil-serv-
Ice reform has created much dissatisfaction in
the Democratic party in the Hooser State, and
that the distribution of offices has been very un-
satisfactory to the workers
Ex-Secretary Golf has taken il upon himself
to carry West Virginia for the Republicans, with
the Senate as his reward General Golf has
national reputation eminent ability and will
make an attractive fight
