BUTTER.

The necessity Of abating the oleo-
margarine fraud is being pressed upon
Congress. Those who make good but
ter, and butter consumers, are in favor
of regulating the manufacture and sale
of oleomargarine, while some think
that the labelling Of the bogus article
would prove sufficient.
1t is high time that our National
lawmakers legislate upon the whole
question of food adulteration and food
poisoning and include oleomargarine,
There is no doubt that a large quaint.

certain classes, and some knowingly
use it. 1t is just to all to have the
manufacture and sale so regulated,

ing pure butter and when oleomarqa.
Tine. The mere labelling of the pack
ages would not secure that end, for
the grocers could easily store the arti-
Gle behind their counters, remove
the labels, or in various
other ways avoid designating
the character of the article, if it proved
profitable to them to sell it and re.
present it as pure butter. The law
should be plain and the penalties
severe, or it will be eYaded.
In this State there is a law requiring
all who deal in the vile compound to
take out a privilege license of one
hundred dollars, but we doubt that
any of the dealers have complied with
it. And if they do, it is hard to
see what protection such a law is to
those who ask the privilege of buying
butter, and of being sure that they get
it. If a mantakes out a license to sell
oleomargarine he naturally wants to
make money by it, and he must make

LAlA ~
"This being the yearfOr the election
Of Congressmen, Il IS now timely for
Us 70 breach the subject as It is pre-.
sented to our district. Under ordi-
nary circumstances we would limit
our expressions to calling upon the
Executive Committee and the mem.
bers of the party for such action as
necessary. But the essential and es-
pecial demands Of our great interest,
the subject of river Improvement, and
its critical need at this juncture, i'm
peratively require the return Of the
Hon. T. G. Catchings to It's service.
We do not strain language or infringe
the facts, in saying that the ability
and fidelity which he has displayed
during the entire session in laboring
for this cause, have been exalted and
constant. True there has been failure.
But we assure our readers that if they
knew the condition with which Mr..
Catchings was confronted when he
entered upon this task, they would say
with us that the only wonder is that
the measure was ever carried through
the committees. The earnestness,
energy and tact which Mr.. Catchings
has sc elninently proved, warrant US
in moving for his denomination and
reelection by reclamation. We do not
base this motion upon the "two term"
theory nor yet what is due Mr.. Catch
ings. We call for it as something
which is due, and demanded by, this
dominant and most vital interest.
We suggest that the Chairman of
the Congressional District Democratic
Committee, Hon. w. A. Percy, issue in
good time the proper notice for meet.
ing thereof; to provide for a district
convention"
The above is from the Greenville
Times, one of the most carefully and
ably edited papers in the State. 1t

OF COURSE.

Jaehne, the corrupt New York Al
dermaD, has been promptly convicted
by an intelligent jury. This result
is gratifying to all those who are so
impudent as to demand that officials
shall not steal, but it seems to be an
unpleasant surprise to other official
thieves all over the country, and those
who fed to Canada. They can't IN
derstand why the old methods of
defense did not save Jaehne, as
in the old times. They now
fall back in their last ditch and
declare the newspapers did it. Delacey,
one of the thieves who skipped out to
Canada in time, says 1.-THE Ease was
tried by the newspapers"
OF course. They all talk that way.
We have heard much of that kind
of talk, right here in Mississippi; right

out of his office, shows him up, and
proves beyond contradiction that

pathy to be found amongst his own
pimps and strikers, who only lack his
practice to be as adept in stealing.

they find there are not good public
schools here. The thing most priced
by the masses is an efficient public

THE RIVER

The water is about danger line again
at Cairo, but the danger line at that
point is about IL or IL feet below
extreme high water mark. Danger line
there is 40 feet and the water
went nearly IL feet above that
in April. The river has also
been rising at St. Louis, but
is now slowly falling there. The
storms in the Ohio Valley will cause a
sharp rise in the Ohio river,
but as that stream is not in
a dangerous condition, the effect
will hardly be p~erceptible south of
Memphis. The river has fallen nearly
a foot here, and it will perhaps require
all the water coming to check the de-
cline. We certainly do not expect the
river to be as high again this year as
it has already been.

A Veto by the President


WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Presi-
dent has vetoed the bill to establish a
port OF entry at Springfield, Mass. In
his message the President says: ut
appears that the best reasons urged
for the passage Of this bill are that
Springfield has a population of about
4O,OOO that the imports to the section
OF country where this city is located
for the last year amounted in value to-
nearly $3,000,000, and that the i'm.
porters at this point labor under a dis.
advantage in having to 90 to New
York and Boston to clear their goods.
which are frequently greatly delayed.
The government is now subjected to
great loss of revenue through the in
tricacies of the present system, and
through the frauds and evasions which
that system permits and invites. 1t is
also the cause of much of the DELAY
and vexation to which the honest i'm.
porter is subjected.
II am of theopinion that the reform
OF present methods which have been
lately earnestly presented upon Cor.
gress, should be inaugurated instead of
increasing the number of ports where
further evils may be extended. The
bill now under consideration provides
that a surveyor of customs shall be
appointed to reside at said port. who
snail receive a salary not to exceed
Sl,OO0 per annum. 1t is quite obvious
that an experienced foTcesof employees
at the ports where goods for SPRING
neld are admitted would be much bet
ter qualified to adjust the duties on the
same than the person thus proposed to
be added to the vast army of Federal
officials. There are hundreds of cities
in the different States having larger
populations than Springfield lust as
much entitled on every ground present.
ed to the advantages sought by this
bill and yet it is clear that the follow.
ing of presidents which the proposed
legislation will establish would 81
fail to produce confusion and uncer.
tainty in the adjustment of customs

probable loss to the government"

WE print this morning a selection
from Gen. Walthall's speech on the
bill to regulate Interstate Commerce.
The chief aim of the measure is to put
the railroad corporations under legal
supervision, and Senator Walthall deals
entirely with that purpose. His
speech will convince all, that while he
thinks State Supervision cannot, from
the very nature of the case, be effected,
he is in favor of continued national eff
fort until the needed relief shall
be secured. He points out clearly and
unanswerably the necessity of guard
ing the rights of the people where they
are, to a great extent, at the mercy of
corporations who own one-sixth of the
property of the United States.
His position IN this important ques.
tion will be universally endorsed in
his State.
