In his message to Congress accompanying
the Oleomargarine bill, the President exhib.
its a thorough knowledge Of the questions in
volved in this class Of Federal legislation.
He heartily approves Of the clause of the
bill which requires oleomargarine to be so in
spected and marked as not to be fraudulently
imposed upon the public for dairy butter.
I" If this article has the merit which its
3" friends claim for it," he says, "and If the
"people Of the land, with full knowledge Of
its real character, desire to purchase and
&C. use 1t, the taxes exacted by the bill will
"permit fair profit to both manufacturer
and dealer" This is the gist of the whole
matter. II revenue eau be derived from ar.
ticles, which are believed to be adulterated,
by regulations which place them before the
public for just what they are, It is the height
of wisdom to raise revenue in that way. The
only incidental protection is that to the con-
sumer. Similar legislation should be had in
| relation to wines, which are said TO be adul.
terated to such an extent as to he dangerous
to health.

Since the passage Of the joint resolution
providing the additional sum necessary to
pay in full the awards OF the juries who con-
demned the site for the Congressional
Library all serious obstacles in the way
Of the immediate commencement Of work on
the building are removed. With the appro-
priation Of $55O.0OO for commencing the
building great deal of work can be done
during the fiscal year il 1t is started
promptly. We hope the Library Commits
sion will spend some of this money in im-
proving the grounds, at least to the extent
of laying them out and planting trees and
shrubs. 1t is too often the case that public
buildings are long time in course of CON-
struction, owing to the system of small
annual appropriations therefor, and pend
ing construction no attention whatever is
paid to the grounds. Thus valuable time is
lost. 1t takes time for trees and shrubs to
grow.

There is some consolation in the general
failure Of District legislation that Congress

needs this session by like work next winter,
the schools will fare better.

Police Officer Sebastian, who ared his re.

board are secret, reporters for the press aud
all others having a public interest IN the

police authorities know exactly what Police
man Sebastian did. Perhaps his pistol
wasn't loaded with ball. We Judge SO from
the small fine imposed. A policeman who

Of a crowd ought to be dismissed from the

should also be proceeded against in the
courts; If only with intent TO scare some.

Some six years ago an exhaustive exam
ination was made by Senate committee as
to the causes of the negro exodus to the
Northwest. Itwas shown to have originated
for political purposes, chief among which
was the colonization of Indiana in advance
Of the 1850 elections. It was fostered and
promoted by Republican campaign commit
tees and Republican agents. Recently the
National Emigrant Aid Association {" has
been organized In this city, the president
being Frederick Douglass, whose public ut
terances point toward the use of this new
association as a political machine. The
association starts out with the expressed
belief that colored men are upjustly treated
in some parts Of the South; that the threat
should be held out to such sections that un.
less better treated there will be a general
exodus Of labor. Where the cOlored men
are TO be colonized is yet undisclosed. Blu,
It is presumable from the history of pas,
institutions Of similar character that they
will be taken where they can do the most
good in the election of 1855.

Senate the opportunity to dump lot of bills

With the entry Of the Democratic party
into political power, after an exile Of a quar-
ter Of century, comes the death Of an un-
usual number Of some Of the best aud urcst
venerated of its leaders. Within the past
year Hancock, Hendricks, Seymour, and Nc
Clellan have passed away, aud now comes
the death Of Tilden to add to the long list Of
patriots and statesmen. Mr.. Tilden began
his political life, It is true, in open revolt
against the nomination Of Cass, and ended
1t by the surrender Of the Presidency. But
Of late years he has been regarded by the
people of his own party, and thousands Of
Republicans as well, as a patriot and a states
man, and his recent public utterances have
been SO wise and manly as to add greatly to
his fame.
