BRANDING BOGUS BUTTER.
PUBLIC EATING PLR CES MUST
PLACARD ITS USE.


WAsHING GToN, May 2G.-Tn the House
to-day the Dunn free ship bill was the
special order for the day, but its friends
being desirOus OF making way for the
oleomargarine bill, the order was made a
continuous one and the former bill will he
called up at the earliest opportunity.
After some Parliamentary sMrmshing
the House went into committee Of the
whole on the Oleomargarine bill, and the
general debate upon the measure being
closed Mr.. Hatch, of Missouri, in speak
ing to the formal amendment sent to the
clerks desk ana had read the follow
ing telegram received by BIN from Chi
cago: "a protest Of several hundred
member of the CHICAGO Board Of Trade
against the action OF the directory favor
ing bogus butter was mailed you last
night, More to come"
KELLEY REAFFIRMs HIS REMARKS.
Mr., Kelley. Of Pennsylvania, claimed
the floor for the purpose Of reattirming,
after twenty-fOur hours reflection, what
he said on the bill yesterday, and he did it
more eagerly lest men might think that
the threat OF the gentleman
from Iowa (Mr. Henderson,, made
yesterday, thai if Pennsylvania pro-
tectlonists did not sustain the bill the
iron industry of their State might be de-
stroyed. He had great respect for the
IRON and steel manufacturers of PennsFl-
vsnia and their workingmen. but there
was one man on whose good
opinion he placed a higher value,
whom he lay down at night and rose in
the morning for the performance OF his
duty. He would not attempt to save the
iron interests by playing demag0gue or
by abandoning the convictions by which
he had sustained the farmers OF Iowa and
Wisconsin when the entire sugar interest
was here asking Congress to exclude the
sweet thing made from corn or sorghum
when all the arguments made against
oleOmargarine to-day were made against
corn sugar and against permission to
grow and use sorghum.
DEMAND OF THE FARMERS.
Mr.. Henderson SAID: 1.-The gentleman
assumes here TO speak for the people /
represent. ! thank him for his kind CO.
operation, but the farmers of Iowa reject
his profered aid. They come here pray
ing, almost demanding, this legislation,
which modestly, but firmly and fearlesely,
am advocating on this floor. No man
would regret more than myself one I'M
kind remark to my superior in age
and vastly my superior in intellectual
power. II augbt that | have said per
sonally wounds will be the first to With
draw it, but 50 far as l have made the
utteranee that the Western country de-
lnands aud Will have protection by argu-
ment # possible, bur by war If necessary,
] reiract not word. On that ground |
stand and viii stand. l insist that tariff
leglsl alton Is not the only medium by
which the rights of the people can
be protected, aud the East must
recognize the fact that the great centres
West ana South must be heard on this
floor and justly treated. That is what |
said yesterday. 1t is what say now and
thousand times ] emphasize il. since |
have the attentive earof my distinguished
friend from Pennsylvania. Applause
The sllusion made to "war" by Mr.. Hen
ders0n, created somewhat Of a sensation,
but as he was about to take his seat he
again addressed the Chair. and said: 81
have been asked BY some gentlemen
whether | meant a conflict Of arms when
] said war. NO, sir. | mean an intel
lectual conflict, by weapons planted III
brave and manly breasts-that, and that
alone"
KNIGHTS OF LABOR PROTEST.
Mr. Lawler, OF Illinois. read a protest
against the bill from the KNIGHTS OF Labor
of Chicago and opposed the bill as taxing
cheap food product out OF existence.
On motion of Mr.. Breckenridge, Of Ken
lucky, au amendment was adopted by a
vote of 90 TO 43 to the section defining
butter so as 10 exclude from that detni-
ton the product Of MIX or cream when
additional colorine matter is used"
Mr.. Morrison SAID the bill came here
under false pretenses, ana he would
therefore vote against il. Ii could only
he here because it was a revenue bill, but
lis friends did not claim that il was here

amendment was proposed TO reduce a tax
from l0c TO 2c., which would give all secu-
lltY against fraud, then it would be seen
what toe honest purpose of the bill was.

House would see whether the gentlemen
we're telling the truth when they said that
all they wanted was that Oleomargarine
should be sold for what it was.
