A GOOD BILL.
That Which Has I'm View the Driving
Out Of Bogus Rutter.

The house committee on agriculture re-
ported an elaborate bill providing for plac-
ing the manufacture and sale OF oleomar-
garine under the direction of the general
revenue department. The report says that
there are 1000, 900 to 5, 600, 900 American
citizens engaged in the dairy business and
they must all abandon it and be driven
into some other already overworked branch
OF industry unless they can be relieved from
| the present ruinous competition with cheap
limitations of cheese and butter, which are
not only disastrous to the dairy interest
directly, and to all branches OF agriculture
indirectly, but are detrimental TO the public
health, being the fruitful cause OF dyspepsia
and other diseases. From the best reliable
information obtainable about 200, 600, 900
pounds of spurious and imitation COM
pounds are now being manufactured an
nually, which not only takes the place of
so much butter, but stops the consumption
of much more by the Generalization of
trade besides being gdemoralizingi in its effect
upon the people. The existence OF these
base counterfeits has already seriously inn
paired our export trade, and will result
in still greater damage il not checked.
At least nine-tenths OF the people of the
United States demand the legislation en-
bodied in the bill. This measure has the
approval of the American Dairy associa-
ton. 1t imposes special tax upon all
manufacturers OF oleomargarine of 5000
per annum, wholesale dealers $3.50 and
retail dealers S4S. 1t requires that oleo-
margarine shall be packed in firkins, tubs
or other wooden packages, that have not
been previously used for that purpose, of
not less than ten pounds to each package.
Every package is required to contain a
printed certificate and caution, similar to
that now used on packages of cigars, and
the imported article is required to be in
spected and marked in a like manner. The
tax is fixed at 10 cents per pound, which is
to be paid by means OF coupon stamps SIM
liar to those now used for manufactured
tobacco. Heavy penalties are imposed for
any violation OF the bill.
The bill also creates the office of analyti-
cal chemist and microscopic, who is 60 be
attached to the staff of the commissioner
OF internal revenue. The bin was reported
with the unanimous approval of the COM
mittee on agriculture, and its passage win
be urged at an early day.

Washington special: The Knights OF
Labor are losing confidence in Powderly,
their chief and there are signs of trouble
brewing within the ranks OF the order. 4
knight, in conversation with correspond
ent, expressed the opinion that there would
soon be serious divisions in assemblies.
The one theme of discussion at all meetings
at the present time is the late strike and
action of the general master workman in
connection Herewith. There is much com
plant against Powderly. and he is blamed
for the continuance OF the late difficulties
and the serious turn they took. Some of
the leaders aver that If Powderly had been
a man of great firmness the trouble would
have been brought to an end at the outset.
1t is elaine he does not possess the conf
dence OF his subordinates in that degree
which will enable him to bring out of the
order all the good of which it is capable. 1t
Is true that most of this seditious talk
comes from ambitious rivals and Others
who cannot do as they please under the
present administration. But, for all that,
they intend to give the present chief some
annoyance and make his continuance IN
Office as unpleasant as possible. Among
other things charged up against him is that
he allowed Jay Gould to get the best OF him
in the negotiations that passed between
them.

Senator Edmunds and Hoar publish a

nounced the G. A. r. or objected to the

Thomas Adamson, consul general to the
United States at Panama, has written to
the labor contractor at New Orleans, re-
questing him not TO send any more labor
ers to work on the Panama canal. He says
very little work has been done on theean

good a chance for employment there as in
the United States. A number OF laborers
sent from New Orleans have died there.

Ben Butler on the Labor Troubles.

When asked by New York Tribune re-
porter what he thought OF the strike, Gen.
B. F. Butler said: Il do not see even the
beginning of the end. The revolt OF the
masses, of course, is always a dangerous
thing. The courts are being dragged into
the present controversy, but actions ot
courts must be temporary, because If the
organization of labor extends much fur
ther the organization will take possession
of the iury-box. That is to say, their
members would get to be jurors, and con-
victions would be impossible. large por-
ton OF the judiciary OF the country Is
elective and subject to the same control.
1t was q mistake for Judge Pardee 70
attempt to deal with the Texas Paclhc
strike as contempt OF court, because the
railroad happened to be in the hands OF
receiver, and to punish men as II Tor con-
tempt. In the first place, the strikers
never had an idea in their minds OF inter
fering in any way with the court or ITS ON
cials. Boycotting is utterly unlustihable
and should not be adopted by the laboring
men especially because it is the weapon OF
capital used by capital from time beyond
memory That is to say, whoever In the
worlds history has stood forth as an
advocate of the right OF labor, whether IN
the forum OF politician, in legislative
halls as a statesman, in court as lawyer
or in the press as a journalist, has always
been boycotted by capitalists. Boycottlng
is a confession of weakness, not an exhl-
nition OF strength and it can't be dropped
too soon. 1t is a two edged sword more
dangerous in the hands OF unskilled WELD
ers to themselves than to Others.
