BOGUS BUTTER.

The oleomargarine bill having passed
the House is now being debated in the
Senate. and will probably be disposed of
by that body this week. This measure,
designed to prevent the manufacture and
sale of bogus butter, is of deep and vital
Importance to the farmers of Augusta
and its fate will no doubt be anxiously
watched by them. While no one can ques-
ton the advisabllity of stamping out cleo.
margarine and other limitations of honest
butter, yet we are disposed to question
the right of Congress to interfere in this
matter except to lay tax on artificial
butter for the purpose Of raisin 6 revenue,
which the state of the Treasury does not
now demand.
To say that Congress has the right to
stamp out one industry is to concede that
it may lay violent hands at any time on
any other industry. This is clearly repug-
nant, both to the letter and spirit of the
Federal Constitution. Oleomarearine
ought to be driven out of our markets in
some way. but by concedlng to the Federal
Government that right we may in the end
lose far more than the bill would gain for
us. Each State under the Constitution
has the exclusive right to regulate it's own
domestic affairs, and it is peculiarly with
in the pro vince Of State government to
control those matters pertaining to the
health and safety of it's citizens. This
being true, we shall do all in our power
to induce the next Legislature to pass a
bill prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of oleomargarfne in Virginia. Even the
city OF Staunton, under it's police power.
has the right to stop the sale of bogus but
ter in the markets, unless its nature shall
be plainly stamped on the package con-
lining it. The sale of these imitation

LIZARD TINES"

For nearly four years the American peo-
pie have suffered from general depres-
sion in business, which in their own vo-
cabulary is known as "hard times" VAL
ues Of every kind have steadily dropped
point by point until at last the bottom of
low prices seems to have been struck. and
the next turn must be for theli better
Though the people of this country have
suffered, yet they have not been alone
In England, France, Germany land In fact
every European country the struggle for
existence have been sharper for the past
two years than at any previous tiae dur
ing the past half century. Labor, in a
great measure, has been unemployed, and
the prices paid for work done, has declin
ed In nearly all branches Of employment
in sympathy with other values.
But we can assure our readers that the
crisis of our financial trouble has passed
and especially is this true here in Il e
South. During the past six months near
~ Sc. 900 900 has been invested in various
enterprises in the State of Virginia alone,
and the other Southern States are not far
behind the Old Dominion. These facts
speak for themselves, telling with silent
eloquence the destiny of riches in store for
the Southern people.
We are standing ini.the.dawningslight
of the most prosperous day that ever bles-
sed our section. We are realizing our own
power to stand even and equal in the race
for wealth and material prosperity with any
people on earth; adversely has taught US
self-reliance, land the splendid courage that
has forever frightened the history of the
South is row winning for US the grander
victories of peace.
With bountiful harvests on every side
and manufacturing enterprises springiBg
into vigorous life all around us, we may
well afford to cease crying ''hard times. :"
Many are still pressed financially, but as
sured prosperity is now so close upon us
that as people, we may consider ourselves
standing on the threshold of a most pros
porous era.

LOOKING FORWARD T0 a WAR.

ALondon special says: A European
war is now definitely looked for. The
commencement of hostilities is expected
in February next at the latest, if the
weather at that time should permit of
military operations on the enormous
scale necessary to carry out the plan OF
campaign supposed to have been decided
on. 1t is generally believed that Russia
hopes to be the first to move, springing
upon Austria without warning, after cre-
ating a certain excuse for marching.
Travellers returning here from Russia,
report extraordinary secrecy in military
quarters, and ceaseless movements OF
troops, carefully masked, toward the
German and Austrian frontiers and Bes-
sarabia. Work on the ironclads is being
pushed with feverish haste. The arsen.
ais and navy yards are reported to be
working night and day. 1t is believed
here that the situation is the deliberate
creation of Bismarck.

A walking school for young women has

"the larger the hustle the lady wears,
the easier it is to assume the English

Let the Philadelphia young women adopt
the English habit of walking a good deal,
but walk in the American fashion. Even
with big bustles the American girl can
not walk in the English fashion. Their
feet are not big enough.

ARBITRATION.

To the average mind nothing seems
more strange and applicable than the
conflict between law and common sense
in the law courts of the land. Submit
any question of dispute to a few prac'
tical business men and they will settle 1T
promptly on just and equitable business
principles. Submit the same controversy
to the arbitrament of a court, and COM
mon sense is straightaway turned out OF
doors. The whole case is soon ~entangled
in such a mesh OF inscrutable technicali-
ties of pleading and evidence that the
parties to the controversy can scarcely
recognize their own case. It is a well.
known fact that justice does not always
insure a verdict. The whole case may
90 off ON an absurd technic. Judge Ed
ward A. Thomas, in an article con.
tributed to the North American Review,
saws: "Justice should be meted out
with certainty, economy and promptness.
Under our present system this cannot be
done. The system itself is a~ntequated,
unreliable, expensive and cumbersome.
Litigation is feared and avoided by mer-
chants, bankers and others on account of
delay, uncertainty and great expense
which it entails"
The advantages of arbitration as a
mode of settling disputes among business
men are many and great. The arbitrators
are the immediate choice of the parties
and may be elected for their known in
tegrity and intelligence. They hear a
statement of the case, the evidence, and
analyze and decide with the habits, in.
stincts and tact of business men, aiming
to do what is just and fair between the
parties. There need be no tedious delay,
no unnecessary expense. The advantage
of arbitration is nc theory. The Boards
of Trade in nearly all BUR large cities
have their courts of arbitration for set.
thing disputes among members. 1t is the
rule among the Changers, and the report
is that the troubles are promptly and
satisfactorily settled in this way. A
large class of cases may always have to
be adjudicated in courts of law, but it is
nevertheless true that many controversies
may be settled more promptly and with
less delay and expense out of court.
Litigation is too slow, too expensive, too
vexatious, too uncertain and too unjust
to satisfy the average business man OF
to-day, and it is a good sign of the times
that arbitration is growing in favor.
