THE WAR ON OLEOMAR-
GARINE.

WASHINGTON, May %. The oppo-
nents of the Oleomargarine Tax bill
thought it useless to attempt to pee
vent the bill from being taken up
again to day, when even the Appro-
belated business on its hands, was
unwilling to make an effort to get the
floor. Under the circumstances the
Committee on Agriculture, which
has been skillfully and boldly led by
Mr.. Hatch of Missouri in the pending
contest, got an early start, and the
whole day was given up to speech
making on the question of the right
and expedlency of taxing limitations
of butter. The day not being long
enough for all of the speakers to be
heard, a night session, exclusively
for speeches, was held, with an un-
derstandlng that the bill is to he
open to amendment and debate I'M
der the five minutes rule tomorrow.
Republicans and Democrats, protect
ionists and free traders, and eXtrem-
lists of the North and South, none of
whom have ever been known to think
or act alike on any public question,
are here found fighting side by side
for or against the pending bill. M.
Durham of Illinois, protectionist
and Republican of the straIghtest
sect, is recognized as the nearest
representative of the manufacturing
interest that the bill is intended to
destroy; and acting as leader of
the opposition, he is supported with
earnestness and ability by free trad
ers and protectionlsts, by members
of both political parties, and espec-
tally by Hammond of Georgia, Rea-
gan of Texas, Dunn Of Arkansas,
Tucker of Virginia-who are the de-
tenders of that instrument, the Con-
stitution of the United States, which
Mr.. Durham recently remarked with
a sheer he did not lie awake at night
to think about. The advocates of
the proposed eXtentiOn of the inter
nal revenue system, for the sake OF
crushing the formidable competitor
of the dairy interests, include South
ern Democrats who have hOwleC
themselves hoarse in their districts
and in Congress with denunciatior
of the internal revenue laws as I'M
democratic and unrepublican, as ;
system of Infamous espionage an(
unnecessary hardships upon individ
) ual rights and personal enterprise
who cIamor for the repeal of interna
revenue taxes on tobacco and whisk,
and fruit brandy, and in the sam
breath ask that taxes and machiner
of the same Objectionable system
shall be applied to a new article @
manufacture. Among them al
found also states rights democrat

During the past week the business
situation has improved considerably.
This is due to the fact that the sltua-
ton of affairs in regard to labor
troubles is steadily improving. The
industrial situation has materially
improved. Two weeks since more
than 5000 employees were on
strikes. Now the number does not
exceed 10000. Better than this de-
cline in the army of the idle, there is
a prevailing sentiment that, for the
present, the labor troubles are prac-
tically at an end, and that the en-
ployer7 of labor may proceed to I'M
dertake new enterprises with conf
dence. In many cases employees have
returned to labor without change of
wages or hours, while in many others
there have been adjustments with
concessions by employers. The con-
tinued favorable reports of the con.
ditIon of crop staples have also had 6
tendency to cause better feeling il
business circles. 1t will be some
time before the confidence which per
vaded business circles last Marcel
will be restored, but the drift o.
things is now decided hopeful-mucl
more so than the most sanguin,
would have dared to predict two O
three weeks since. One of the mos
important features of the presen
time is the increase of railroa,
building, which is now being pros
ecuted on an extensive scale. Thi
work is undertaken by the large
COMPANIES in the West During tn

To Whom it May Concern:
This may certify that am acquainted with Mr..
David Hazen's stock horse, and know his sire and
dam, and have of his colts and have seen quite
a number of them. L consider him one of the best
stock horses in my knowledge. He is horse that
size, muscular strength and great powers of endur-
ance. L can cheerfully recommend him to breeders
of horses. consider him better stock horse than
