Growth OF Oleomargarine.


oleomargarine is greater enemy to the
farmers, and through them an injury to our
prosperity, than is generally imagined. The
figures of the growth and sale of this bogus
butter are truly alarming. In 1880 the country
exported 39, 1884, 55 pounds of butter and 90
OOO,OO0 pounds of Oleomargarine, but i'm 1SS5
the exports OF oleOmargarine nearly reached
3SOOO.OO0, while the expectation of butter
declined to 21,63S, 12S pounds. Fifty million
pounds is the present magnitude Of the manu-
iacture of the bogus article, out of which dis
honest men are evidently making enormous
fortunes. The law prohibits the fraudulent
sale OF the imitation product, but IL goes on
nevertheless despite the exertions of the au-
thoritfes to prevent IL, the claim being made
that the law is SO full of loopholes that il is al.
The perpetuation of the dairy interests of this
state can only be secured by the most complete
protection in this particular that can be given
them, and the present legislature can under.
take no more necessary task than is involved
in filling the gaps i'm oleOmargarne legislation.

When Judge Hardaway came into town last
Saturday morning his most intimate friends
failed to recognize him, and every horse along
the street broke loose and stampeded to the
country. He looked like a forked cotton bale
with hat on the top end, and a decided incli-
nation to wabble. When Col. Bush and Joe
Jones unwound him they found that he had on
vests, three coats, ten pairs OF socks one pair of
boots, then more socks, three overcOats, a
shawl and ten yards Of bagging, then another
overcOat and a blanket and u buster and some
more pants, and bed quilt wrapped around
his jaws and head, and small black hat and
two pairs of gloves and his hands in his pockets,
and you couldn't see any of him except one
eye and the end Of his nose. The surplus buds
taken fof linn exactly filled an empty crock
cry crate. He was speechless when they fin
ished shocking him, but when he recovered he
stated pOintedly that he intended to keep

the sadness of the Frenchman, is a little too

our time, and In all ways the most mournfll

At the time the eight hour law was
enacted and put in force in the govern
ment printing Office, the wages were re-
duced 20 per cent, thus virtually null
ing the object ofthe law. Every session
of congress since that time attempts have
been made to restore the wages, but
thev have failed. At the last session Of
the General Assembly Of the Knights OF
Labor, this matter was presented and ii
was decided to protest against such an
interpretation of the eight-hour law as
had been made by the government Off

The following is an ESSAY read last
week before local assembly 32l7 of this
city: --.----. .-..--.-
The usual conception of the word
heroism is that which places the hero in
some dangerous position, and gives him
the opportunity to displaya strength Of
will-power, or courage, sufficient to sus-
tain his nerve to 10 daring act. The
engineer who stays with his engines
whistles down brakes and bravely.
goes whirling with his train while using
eyery endeavor to mitigate disaster, is
more frequently neard of in the role OF
hero than most other classes.
Now it is not my purpose to call your
attention to deeds of physical daring
- to the grandeur of men as shown in the
undaunted deeds that men have done,
nor do L purpose to belittle any brave
act, but do wish to cali YOUR attention
to a kind of heroism that it takes no i'm
pulsive act to achieve, and that is not to
be worked out or won by any chance, or
by mere physical nerve. .
There is possibility of a man gaining
the title of hero, as the term is usually
applied, BY mere inseusbility to dam
ger but NO such liability is there of
misapplicatlon in the sense IN which |
would use the word. We are living In
the age Of ofcompetitlon in an era of tre-
meudous movements and infinite energy.
The restlesss and active are crowding
each other in the battle for supremacy,
and every man is doing all in his power
to rise above his fellows and to acquire
power. Discontentis is all in all The
small traders come and go, pushed to the
wall, or elevated by combination; the
busy schemer is full of plans that shall
conduce to his personal advantage. Sue

Mr.. Dunham (Illinois) suggested that
the bill should be entitled one to get rid
of the driftwood Of the navy.
Mr.. Thomas replied that that would
not be proper title. as under the bill
many gallant men would be permitted
to retire from active service.

the labor of men. The country had
gone far enough on the road towards
establishing an American aristocracy.
The country should get back to where
all men were equal. and where exclu-
siye privileges were granted to none.
Mr.. Thomas inquired what the gem
tleman would do with the present re-
tired list of the army and nayyf
Mr.. Reagan replied that he would re-
peal those unamerican and unrepubli-
can laws and leave the officers to work
for their living like other men. He
would have no men to live on the work

could succeed in preventing the spread

some time. Andy was airing his horse
