blows quickly followed, and two or
three shots were fired, luckily hurting no
one. Ex-policeman Brown, Of this city,

says he will prosecute the man who

The oleomaI garine bill, as it passed the
House, contains the following features
Butter is defined to be food product made
exclusively from milk or cream or both,
with or without common salt, and with or
without additional coloring matter. Oleo-
margarine is defined as all substances made
of oleomargarine oil, butterine, lardine, suine
and neutral; all mixtures and compounds
of eleomargarine, OleO, eeOmargarine oil,
butterine, lardine. suine and neutral; all
lard extracts and tallow extracts, and all
mixtures and compounds of tallow, beef
fat, suet, lard, lard oil, vegetable oil an
MOTTO and other cOlOring matter, intestinal
fat and offal fat made in imitation or re-
semblance of butter, or when so made
calculated or intended to be sold as butter
or for butter''
Special taxes are imposed as follows
On manufacturers, $500; on wholesale deal
ers, $3.50; on retail dealers, $4S The ex-
listing internal revenue laws, so far as ap-
plicable, are made to apply to these special
taxes. Penalties are imposed on any person
who shall deal in oleomargarine without
paying the special tax Provision is made
for the proper stamping and labelling of
oleomargarine. A tax of five cents pound
is imposed on all Oleomargarine manufac-
tured and sold, and penalty is prescribed
for the purchase or reception for sale of
Oleomargarine not branded or stamped ac-
cording TO law A number of sections of
the bill are devoted to providing machinery
to carry the law into effect. If last year S
production be made the basis of an estimate,
the tax imposed by the bill would produce
a revenue of from $12, 900, 600 to SIS,

Mr.. MANNING TENDERS His REsIG-
NATIoN.--In rendering bis resignation of the
office which he has filled with so much
profit to the country and credit to himself,
Secretary Manning insists that, in view of
the pressing character of the important
tariff and currency questions now pending,
the position of Secretary of the Treasury
should be held by some one able to give to
the discharge of its functions all the
strength of mind and body of man in
vigorous health. The delay of Congress
in repeating and reforming the tariff and
currency laws it was elected to mend is re-
ferred to as supporting his contention
Our present tariff, which he describes as ga
needless oppression" and our currency,
which he terms "a chaos" have created
situation which, he AYERS, demands San
actual as well as titular head of the
Treasury Department" Pres't. Cleveland,
sharing the general unwillingness to permit
the government to lose Mr.. Manning's
service until the necessity of his resignation
shall be more apparent, has asked and OBJ
tanned the Secretary's consent to take
leave of absence till October, and defer the
question of his resignation till that time
The correspondence incidentally beirays the
intensity of the desire of both of the parties
to it to see the reforms to which the demo-
cratic party is pledged taken in hand
