The protracted contest in the House
over the oleomargarine bill was concluded
on the Sd by the passage of that measure
substantially as it was reported by the
Committee on agriculture, the only
amendment being on the rate of tax.
which is fixed at five cents per pound, in
stead of ten. as the committees bill had
it. This modification was mistake. In
stead of ten cents, it ought to have been
so much more as to have amounted to an
absolute prohibition. 1t is within the
province of Congress to legislate for the
protection of the general health, and the
product of any manufacture that is of
such doubtful utility and safety, ought to
be suppressed. The plea that it is an in
dustry and ought not to be Disseminated
against in favor of another industry is a
false pretense. 1t is undoubtedly predicated
upon designed fraud upon the people. OPP

He Knew the Story.

 A business man on the third floor of of coal the other day, and when a boy came up to ask him for the job of eleva-
 ting the chestnuts he asked the youth to
 take chair, and then said:
 "My boy, you should start right in en- tering upon the path of life." "Yes, sir-thats what maw says" 'I was poor boy-a very poor boy my self at your age" "Yes, sir don't doubt it; you wore ragged clothes and didn't have half enough to eat" "Ahem-y-e-s. I felt that I would have to make my own future, and decided tt start out right. In the town where I lived
 there was fve-story building" ''Yes, sir, and there was offices way up on the top floor and no elevator" ''Just so, my boy" "And the man who had an office the top floor bought ton of coal, and you asked
 him for the job of backing it up.' Exactly"
 ''It was worth fifty cents, but he offered you accepted it. The man took notion to you, secured you place in an office, and you are day rich respected and likely to be sent to Washington as United States Sena tor. know the story like book" "You do! Why, where did you ever heal it before?" Twenty times over right on this very street. I tumbled to it after carrying uI two tons and you fellers can't wallop mt again!' "Why, my son, I--" s'S all right mister; but my terms are if ty cents spot cash or no lugging. Powerful funny thing that all you chaps who have been poor and worked up to riches want penniless cub to work for half cash and hali l taffy!"
 The occupant of the office said he would
 reserve the job for some boy with a meel | and humble disposition.

against the tip of her tongue-which look like piece of harmless leather-as if about to make saucy observation. In order to show exactly the process of embalming, MT. Bookwalter has removed from one-half of the body, along it's entire length, the many folds of coarse linen cloth, now of a soft ecru color. So abundant are they that in certain places their combined thickness is nearly four inches, and they seem to have been saturated with a preparation of tar, which even now makes itself distinctly no ticeable to the olfactory nerves. The fin gers seem little longer than those of the modern princess, and the head little smaller. She lies placidly on her back, her arms folded across her breast. In spite of her three thousand years she has man aged to retain her form almost entirely; but one of the cremation societies has asked to be allowed to use her as "cam- paign document"

THE NEW TYRANNY.


 It behooves the people of New Haven to | pay careful attention to the nature and ten
 dency of King Boycott. King Boycott is ! hostile to good government and the public welfare because he denies the right of private ! judgment. He tells a man whom he shall trade with and whom he shall not trade with He tells him what hats he shall wear, what cigars he shall smoke and what bread he shall eat. He has not yet pointed out what church man shall attend, but there is no good reason to believe that he will not when he gets his subjects into suitable state of subjection.
 The Declaration of Independence and the effective carrying ont of that declaration freed our ancestors from the offensive and tyrannical dlctation of the English King. Now King Boycott claims the right to rule here. It is time for ''the spirit of '76" to re- assert itself and free this country from tyr amy which will never be satisfied. Read and answer the following questions, which are asked by the New York Evening Post: Now we would in all seriousness ask Ameri cans who love their country and it's institu- tions, and believe that some of the best hopes of the human race rest on it, what
 kind of citizens and voters they think men
 will prove who get used to the rule of ''walk-
 ing delegates" instead of the law of the land,
 and who get used to seeing private business
 ruined and private lives poisoned and made
 insecure by the threats and machinations of
 secret societies What better off should we
 be under the sway of boycotters than the Si-
 cilians, who pay annual tribute to bands of
 brigands for liberty to trade an1 travel
 How long will the traditions of liberty and law survive the frequently recurring specta- cles of individuals and firms controlled in the management of their most private affairs
 by irresponsible committees enforcing their mandates by threats and violence ?
 This matter cannot be shirked. It will have to be met. Is there any better way to meet it than prompt rebellion, and is there any better time to meet it than nowa

magazine contains a number of interesting
 letters from women of more or less promi-
 hence upon the perennial subject, "When shall our young women marry." The dis cussion develops diversity of opinion. Mrs. Lucy Stone and Mrs. Helen Campbell argue for twenty-five as the earliest limit of age, and the former inclines toward thirty as even better. Mrs. Beecher, on the other hand, pleads for early marriages, regarding the ages of eighteen to twenty-one as the happiest. Miss Peabody pleads for the romance of middle life, and another lady de- mands that girl shall have chance to ex- haust the natural pleasures of youth before settling down into the married state Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis hits the mark in say ing that ''the time for girl to marry is when she meets man who heartily loves her and whom she heartily loves. if she is old enough to be helpmeet to him and not dead weight"

SENATE.

. SENhIE. -Ea--
Washington, March 26-Among th Q
bills introduced was one by Senator
Hoar, providing for inquests up on
national authority. MI. Hoar said the
bill was suggested by reports of recent
occurrences at Carrolltown, Miss. The
senate had no information in regard to
these occurrences; but newspapers of
both political parties seemed
to agree about them. According to
these reports wanton and unproyokea
crime has been committed, resulting in
the death of Il large number of citizens
In which the victims were OF one race,
and he presumed OF one politi.
cal party, and all the murderers
OF another. Such occurrences
unfortunately, had been of frequent
occurrence, but when investigated we're
apt to take q political turn.
Persons defending or a~pologizing for
them said they had no political signiH-
cence, still the fact remained
that it Was the opponents
OF the democratic party that we're killed
and the adherents of that party were
the murderers. This bill was to supply
a method OF inqairy which would be re-
moved from politics. 1t was referred to
the judiciary committee.
