THE oLEoMARGARINE BILL.

The dairymen ought to be highly gratified
at the large majority in favor of the oleo-
margarine bill in the lower house of con-
gress. The bill does not embody all that
the dairy interests demanded, still it is suf-
fcient to answer the purposes in view. It
is recognition of the principle that an inn
portant branch of the agricultural interests
of the country shall be protected against a
fraudulent rivalry. In consideration of
the immense opposition that was
brought to bear against its passage,
and the immense amount of money that was
used to defeat it, the passage of the bill in
any shape is as much a matter of surprise as
it is of sincere congratulation. The provis-
ions of the bill are ample, if strictly en-
forced, to drive bogus butter out of the
market and to encourage the dairy indus
try. Afte every other effort had failed to
secure its defeat IN the house, the opponents
of the bill tried to laugh it down. They
brought their batteries of ridicule to bear on
it, and aided by such newspapers as were
subsidized by the oleomargarine manu-
facturers, attempted to create the impression
on the public mind that it was matter be-
meath the dignity of congressional consider
alton. 1t is all the more gratifying that,
notwithstand ding the different phases of OPP
position tactics, there were TT members of
the lower house of congress who had the
backbone to stand up and vote for meas
ure which is of more real practical benefit to
the farming classes than all the legislation
that has been. had in congress for the last
twenty years.

MANNING,s RESIGNATION.

The retirement of Secretary MANNING
from the cabinet, if not national calamity,
is great misfortune to the country. 1t
has been long time since there has been a
man at the head of the treasury depart
ment who so thoroughly possessed the pub
lie confidence as Secretary MANNING did. A
man of fine executive ability, I'M
firing energy, and indomitable will, thor
ough business habits and methods, and
above all, as honest as the day is long. Mr..
MANNING did more to give confidence and
stability to the business interests of the
country than any man in public life to-
day. 1t might be mistake to say that his
place cannot be filled by as competent a
man, but the chances are it will not, from
the simple fact there are but few men in
public life so well qualified for this re-
sponsible position as is Mr.. MANNING. The
president will doubtless make the effort to
lind man who will make worthy success
sor to the retiring secretary in the event he
insists upon retiring, and we hope that
he will be successful. But as a
bird in the hand is always worth two in
the bush, the country would be better salts
fed If Mr.. MANNING's health would per-
NIT him to remain at the head of the treas
ury department until the close of Mr..
CLEvELAND's term. But it seems to be
absolutely necessary for the preservation of
his life that the secretary should retire from
active business employments. The fear is
that in performing the arduous work of re-
forming the treasury department Mr.. MAN
MING has impaired his health beyond mend
ing. 1t is natural that the president should
insist upon retaining him in the cabinet,
but the indications are that the secretary S.
broken constitution will not admit Of longer
public service.

THE STATE OF TRADE.
An Encouraging Outlook for the
Future.

An Encouraging Outlook for the
Future.
NEW YORK, June Especial kilograms to
Bradstreets do not show any marked change
as to the condition of general trade. At the
the principal Eastern cities, while the
volume of business is somewhat larger,
it continues of hand to mouth
description. One less business day
within the week helped to induce
the total number OF transactions. At Gin
cinnati, Omaha, Milwaukee and Louisville
there is reported q distinct gain in the distri-
button of merchandise. At these points also
there is an improved demand for
funds, particularly at the Western
cities named, the money going
to the interior to pay for produce. Owing to
rains in Texas there is a better feeling among
merchants there, and at st. Louis there is
slightly more activity in some lines with an
increased demand for funds. A feature of
the week is the decline in the volume of trade
at Kansas City and particularly at Chicago,
for currency. The New York stock
market has appeared active. Its strength is
still due to manipulation. There is a percep-
tible gain in the industrial situation. Pig
iron is well held for first grades, but rela-
lively weak for others. Rail mills are well
filled with orders. Anthracite coal is not so
firm as it was quoted a week ago. Petro-
leum is still bearish, but certificates
incline to react on the slightest encourage
ment from the well district. The commission
dry goods trade is light and the jobbing trade
is only moderately active. The tone of the
market is better. Stocks are light and prices
firm. Wool is stronger and prices less in buy
ers favor, in harmony with London and Ant
werp cables. Rumors come from Texas Of
short clip, and from Cincinnati that the to-
bacco area promises to be 10 per cent.
below those of year ago. Bradstreets' cot
ton report points to a total acreage of II, 1884,
900 against 1890, 800 acres a year ago. The
stands and the prospect of the crop is less
favorable than a year ago, when they were
good. The wheat markets after continuing
the severe decline of last week we'll into this,
switched about and an active upward move
ment has begun scoring a gain of 33lc
from the lowest and closing with No.
2 red SIC at New York. Foreign
markets have refused to follow, believing, APP

NIr. Nourse lis Rot Dead.

NEW YORK, June 4.-The Times this morn.
ing says: Frederick Nourse, the treasurer OF
the Oregon Railway and Navigation company,
who mysteriously disappeared from an En-.
glish hotel three or four weeks ago, mas been
found, so dispatch received in Wall street
announced yesterday. MIR. Nourse CON-
planned about New Years that his health was
seriously impaired, and the directors of
the company voted to give him leave of
absence to enjoy a trip abroad. Though
his body could not be found, it was on all
sides generally agreed that he had been foully
dealt with. That he should willingly seek 10
sacrifice his home. his wife and children, rich
relatives and good business standing, was no
where looked upon as aught but theory of
most foolish character. Yet, if yesterdays
dispatch from Boston can be depended upon,
and officers of the company accredit it, Mr..
Nourse did have motive for getting away
from New York, and did, of his own free will,
and by clever scheming, seek to be mourned
as dead in this land while he yet lived and en-
joyed himself on the other side OF the seas.
ELoNDoN. June 4.-The agent of the Asso-
ciated Press interviewed Mr.. Nourse brother
of Frederick Russell Nourse treasurer of the
Oregon Railway Navigation company, who
mysterfously disappeared on the night of
March last, as he was about to start for
Liverpool to take the steamer to New York.
Mr.. Nourse said he still knows nothing of the
missing mans whereabouts and does not be-
Heye he has been found, either dead or alive.

pAKoTA,s ADMISSION.

Chairman HILL of the house committee
On territories expresses confidence in Sc
curing the passage of his bill for dividing
and admitting Dakota. His bill contem-
plates an east and west division on the
seventh standard. The measure is not an
arbitrary one, but proposes that the ques-
ton of division and admission shall first be
submitted to the people of the territory,
and if the vote be in favor
of the two propositions, then
Dakota would come in as two states.
However confident Mr.. HILL may be of
the success of his measure, our advice to the
people of Dakota would be to keep on with
their wheat raising and other industries and
to lose no time unnecessarily in anticipa-
tion of its passage. There are too many
contingencies in sight to make admission,
either as a whole or a divided ter
ritory, a certainty. Republican adj
ministration in Dakota has split the
people of the territory up into so
many factional and sectional parties
that it is difficult matter for congress to
know what are the wishes of the people.
The Republican politicians have so many
axes to grind it is to be expected that they
will oppose every measure that has the ele-
ment of fairness. Whatever bill the DEM
ocratic house may pass relating to the adj
mission of the territory is almost sure to
meet opposition from the Republican SEN

NORTHWESTERN BRIDGES.

Among the bridge bills pending before
congress is one authorizing the Chicago,
Milwaukee 6 St. Paul Railway company to
construct bridge across the Missouri river
in the vicinity of Chamberlain, Oak. The
bill provides that if the bridge be made
with unbroken and continuous spans it
shall not be of less elevation in any case
than fifty feet above extreme high water
mark, and if built as drawbridge it shall
be constructed asl a pivot drawbridge, with
draw over the main channel of the river
at an accessible and navigable point, with
spans of not less than 100 feet in length
in the clear. Another bill provides for the
construction by the Chicago, Freeport &
st. Paul Railway company of bridge
across the st. CroiX river, or lake, at any
accessible point between Prescott and Still
water, and has the same provisions con-
corning spans and drawbridges as the
Chamberlain bridge above referred to.
There is also bill pending before congress
authorizing the Winona Pontoon Bridge
company to construct and maintain pile
and pontoon railway bridge across the Mis-
sissippi river from Winona to the opposite
shore in Wisconsin. The provisions of the
bill are that the bridge shall be constructed
with a suitable pontoon draw of not less
than 400 feet in width.

Disorder at Belfast.

BELFAST, June 4.-The Orange work
men employed at the Queens Island ship
yards here. to-day attacked the navvies en-
ployed by the harbor commissioners, and
after overpowering them and beating them
badly, and drove them into the water.
1t was with the greatest diff
fculty that the injured, exhausted
and struggling navvies were rescued. The
Orangemen made the assault because the
navvies, it was alleged. had previously at
tackled some LoyaIists for aspersing the
home rule movement. There is intense ex-
element among the Loyalists in conse-
quence of the attack. The Orange
men numbered 1900, and the navvies
100. A repetition of the historical riots
is feared. Policemen fully armed are
patrolling the city and the military are held
in readiness in the barracks. Thirty Cath
olics were injured and twelve more were
taken to the hospitals. The body of James
Curran, one of the navvies who was miss
ing for time, has been recovered. He
was the sole supporter of his widowed
mother.

DROWNED AT A BARGE PARTY
Edward Van Frtdagh, While on an
Excursion, Fell Overheard,
And His Merry Companions Could
Find Nothing But His Hat.

AT o'clock last evening about 900 young
ladies and gentlemen started on board the
steamer City of st. Paul for moonlight
excursion down the river, under the aus
plceS OF the Young Mems Social club. A
band was on board and attached
to the steamer was barge for dancing. 1t
was merry party the first ten miles down
river. the band playing almost continuously
and general good-natured sociability pre-
vailing. When the steamer was not far
from Red Rock, Edward Van Fridagh,
one of the party, with two or three
companions, was on the lower deck near
the boiler. 1t was dark and there was no
railing. AS he walked along the narrow
space, some three feet wide. between pile
of wood and the edge of the boat, he
stumbled and fell into the water. The
md was playing at the time, and thong
his companions at once raiseh
the cry of man overheard,
no one needed it. for it had been said in
sport dozen times during the trip. The
boat had gone some distance before the fact
could be impressed on the party that one of
the number was struggling in the water
somewhere behind them. The boat then
turned and cruised back to as near as could
be judged where the accident occurred.
Search was made as well as could be, under
the darkness and without lights. Not a
sound was heard as they listened for some
cry. and no trace of the young man was
found save his hat. though search was con-
tinued for a long time. The band played no
more, there was no more dancing, the party
made no more jokes, but returned to the
city, arriving at the wharf at l o'clock
this morning. Edward Van Fridagh was
% years old and clerk in the Northern
Pacific general offices. being relative Of
E. FL. c. Taylor. auditor of the freight de-
partment of that road. His home was in
Portland, Or, where his mother now is.
He is said by those that knew him to have

LONG V1CToRI0us

The decision arrived at by the council,
whereby Aid. LONG retains his seat, is a
very natural one. The question simply
hinged on the fact whether Mr.. LoNG's
election a year ago was for two years or
one, and having been decided after an ex-
tensive outpouring of legal lore in favor of
the former view, Mr.. ROBBINS cannot do
otherwise than submit to the in
evitable. Although there is considerable
doubt whether certain of the votes cast for
the latter candidate at the election now de-
clared illegal should have been counted,
that question need not now be gone into.
Mr.. LONG holds his Office by virtue of right
and the law. There is no doubt that he will
make an excellent officer in the future as
he has in the past.
