BOGUS BUTTER.
A wts,tTn Professor Who Decides that TESTS
Are Not Infaiiibie.

A wtStTn Professor Who Decides that Tests
Are Not Infsiiibie.
4 Columbus t0.) special says: tbs
announced that Professor Weber, ofthe
chair Of agricultural chemistry, State
University, has just made an important
discovery in chemistry in connection
with the microscopic tests to distinguish
oleomargarine from butter:
Recently DR.. Thomas Taylor, Of the
Department Of Agriculture, announced
at a meeting Of microscopists that
butter placed under microscope
showed round crystals marked by a
plain cross, which could be found no.
where else. When the polarizer is
used with the microscope these batter
crystals, which are in reslity only
globules Of fat, show four parts cash,
two green and two yellow.
The chemical test to determine be-
tween butter and oleomargarine is very
delicate, the only difference between
the material matters apprecisble to
chemists being that butter contains o
small amount Of butyric acid, which is
lacking in oleomargarine. This test is
not always successful, and as the dif-
ference was likely TO be wiped out by
the en,erprising oleOmargerine manu-
facturers, DR.. Taylor's discovery was
heTalded far and wide, and the test
was adopted wherever known.
Professor Weber has discovered
that the mixing of little water and
salt with the oleomargarine, process
it always undergoes, causes the bogus
butter to develop under the microscope
exactly such Crystals " as are found
in the legitimate article, and the same
result can be obtained with pure tallow
treated in like manner. This discovery
destroys in great measure the useful
ness Of DR.. Taylor's discovery, and
strengthens the position of the oleo-
margarine manufacturers.

New York would be the happiest sol
ution of the problem. So popular has
the Illinois high license system become
that a similar one is even recommended
for the province of Ontario by so bitter
an Americo-phobist as Mr.. Goodwin
Smith He quotes the suggestions and
conclusions of the Christian UniU7 in
his paper, the Week, and recommends
them to the advocates Of prohibition in
Canada for their support.
This seems to be the view of the re-
ligous bodies in New York who are ad-
vocating the adoption of the Illinois
law in that State. Bishop Ireland of
st. Paul, the well known Catholic tenn
perance reformer, is advocating SINH
lar course for Minnesota, where such
law is becoming inperatively necessary,
owing to the domination of the saloon
element in the more populous cities.
The only danger which threatens the
cause of high license in New York is
that some crotchety person will try to
engraft on the bill before the legislature
sumptuary features of character OBJ
noxous to large element of the voters.

Raise the Taxes.

If the people Will watch the actions
of Republicans in Congress and in our
legislatures, and they will not have to
watch closely, they will see that bills
and schemes of all kinds are being
urged for this and that which can bene-
fit no one but monopolies and them
selves, and the farmers and laborlng
men are to foot the bills by higher taxes.
And in order to carry this idea out and
to bring it nearer home we clip the
following from the Topeka COrreSpon-
dent to the Kansas City Times of the
5th, and we are sorry to see our friend
Burton urging such bill. But then
it is in keeping with the principles Of
his party; Zone of the most remark
able bills introduced into the house
this session came from Mr.. Burton this
morning. 1t provides that the mayor
and council Of any city where gas and
water corporations exist shall have the
gas tax equal to l per cent of the ass
essed valuation of all property within
the city limits. This tax shall be in
addition to all the other taxes. In
Kansas the taxable limit for all purpos-
Is in cities of the frst-class is fixed at 2
per cent of the assessed valuation OF
property and at l per cent in cities OF
the second and third class. To illus
trate this bill: Abilene, Mr.. Burton's
home, has an assessed valuation OF
of property Of about 81 100000, A
water and gas tax under the bill in
question would yield a yearly revenue
of $4,000. In LeavenwOrth the water
and gas tax is not more than mills. 1t
is hardly possible that such a bill will be
allowed to pass, for it would only bene-
fit water and gas corporations and cor
rupt city councils"
