IT is to be deplored that the man.
ufacture of the various limitations of
butter is permitted under any cir
cumstances. A law to enforce its
being branded would enable people
to buy with the knowledge as to
what they were getting, provided
such law could be enforced. But
if it is possible to make an imitation
that cannot be detected it is doubtful
if such law can be made operative.
The poorer classes of laborers in the
cities are the ones whom it is said reap
the benefits of cheap substitute for
that which creates an aristocratic side
to our bread. But it is doubtful
economy. BY the use of deodorizers
substances enter into the manufacture
of butterine, etc., which are wholly
unfit for human consumption. And
when the laboring classes are not
able to purchase that which is OF
sufficient purity to be healthful of
the necessaries of life it is indeed
time that they formed organizations
to better their condition. Further
more the substitutes strike at the
dairy interests which, in many local
tiles are the first in importance.
Withal the entire catalogue of butter
substitutes constitute an industry that
is illegitimate and detrimental to the
people.

THAT fruitful theme, the restora-
ton of Fitz John Porter, is again
occupying the attention of the Ma
tional legislators. In the House
Monday Hon. VIM. E. Fuller, from
the Fourth Iowa District, made a
strong though brief speech in oppo-
sition to the bill. In the course of
his remarks he entered this vigorous
protest: "Mr. Speaker, as one of
the Representatives on this floor for
the state of Iowa, | desire to enter
my protest against the restoration of
this man. Iowa sent forth, at the
call of the country, eighty-three
thousand of her young and best
blood, who were found where duty
called. No Iowa soldier was ever
known to falter in the face of the
enemy or refuse to obey an order,
and would be recreant in my duty
to these brave men if failed to, in
their name, condemn this action
which / fear is about to be taken by
this House," 1t would seem that in
a case that demanded so much at
tention there would be some conflict
ing circumstances and evidence, but
it is not so. Testimony is all to the
effect that Gen. Porter failed to obey
the orders of his superior officer, and
the only excuses offered are that the
night was dark and the men were
tired. These will have no weight
with men who looked upon such
commands as imperative and ans
wered them accordingly. 1t is feared
that the bill will pass the house. In
the Senate John A. Logan will OPP
pose it vigorously and we hope sue
cessfully. Fitz John Porter should
be restored to the rank of rebel
sympathizers with whom he enlisted
in the latter days of August, 1862.

INSURANCE authorities state it as
an ascertained fact that more than
one-fourth of all the fires occurring
IN the United States during the last
calendar year were due to incendia-
rism. The motive in most cases,
they claim, is desire for the insur-
ance, though malice is found at the
bottom of many cases. Of the re-
mainder of cases more than eighty
per cent are due to gross carelessness
and ignorance. These facts are sug-
gestive to public inflicted with high
rates of insurance, and teach the les
son of watchfulness and care.

gambling dens, last Tuesday. Mar
shall Walkup was advised to call on
the inmates of the room, but when
he applied for admission, no one
responded to his call. He kicked
the door of the stairway open and
made haste to the upper room, only
to find two gentlemen quietly and
industriously engaged in doing moth
ing-only this and nothing more.
However while he was kicking open
the door and going up stairs it is
said that there was grand exit
from said room by the way of win
