DIR. FELTON, in the Arena.

JamisOn for Mai. Bacon are whooping up
the people throuyhou the State. and next
week the irrepressible DR.. FELTON, will
spring into the arena and raise up his
voice for Maj Bacon. We have under
stood that the good doctor is not in poll
tics this year, and we have also heard
that he is. We are unable to state from
our own knowle dge, therefore, whether be
would accept a nomination or not If il we're
offered to him. There may be those so I'M
kind as to suggest that in speaking for
Maj. Bacon the doctor is really speaking
for himself. but we prefer to think that he
is a sincere and earnest friend of Mai.
Bacon. and that he will not permit him.
self to be drawn away from his allegiance
by any whisperings OF his own ambition.
We nav be permitted to remark, how
ever, that there can hardly be any great
difference between Gen. Gordon and Mai.
Bacon relative to the Railroad Commits

rayed against each other, one for Gen.

The Bogus Butter Debate.

The debate on the bogus butter bill in
the House has afforded the country con-
siderable amusement. Some of the
amendments indicate that not a few OF
the members appreciate humor II they
cannot grasp practical craftsmanship.
There is no doubt that there ought to be
a mark Of some kind put on bogus butter
in order that it NAV be distinguished from
genuine butter. II the people want oleO-
margarine or butterine let them have it,
but manufacturers and dealers should be
punished il they palm bogus article off
on their customers for genuine one.
There is no justice in trying to tax bogus
butter out of existence. As long as the
people want it and have no complaints
against tthereisn't much reason TO doubt
that they will re. it.
There is no occasion for increasing the
revenues Of the government. That being
the case there is no necessity for tax on
bogus butter. All that is needed is law
requiring the manufacturers OF the arti-
Gle 20 stamp its character upon it in some
conspicuous way. To sell bogus for a
genuine article is a business which, from
a moral point OF view, is very little better
than robbery.

FORGETTING Land Grants.

The Republican party has always been
the protector and promoter Of monopolies.
II is responsible for having given away
a large part OF the public lands to rail
road companies. In some instances the
conditions of the grants OF land have been
complied with, and in others they have
not.
Where the conditions have not been
complied with it is admitted that the
grants ought to be declared forfeited.
The lands are wanted for homesteads by
the people. The companies to whom the
grants were made have not built the roads
they agreed to build, and there Is no pros
pect that they intend to keep their agree
ments. They propose to hold on to the
lands, however, with the hope of finally
being able to dispose of them at big
price.
The House few days ago passed a bill
forfeiting millions Of acres claimed by
one Of the Pacific roads. Does the Senate
propose to pass the bill? 1t seems that it
does not. Its committee which has charge
OF the bill intends, it is said, to report in
favor of forfeitng some of the lands
those which are worthless, and which the
railroads would like to get rid of, as they
are not worth the cost of surveying them
but not those which are valuable. The
Republicans control the Senate aud the
Democrats the House. What further
comment is necessary to show that the
Democratic party is the friend of the peo-
pie and the Republican party the friend
of the monopolies?

A CHINESE OATH.
The Proposal of q San Francisco Celes-
tIal to Make His Oath More Binding.

From the Nelo York Sun.
SAN Francisco, May l6.-The ChinAman
always regards the Christian mode Of admin
istering oaths as a good deal of a humbug
when he Is involved in any way. In one of
the local police courts the other day Lee Dan
was on trial for attempting 10 cut Low sing,
and the way the latter and his witnesses
swore against the former made the persplra-
ton stand out on his ieathery forehead. APP
pealing to the court for delay that he might
refute this testimony Lee Dan secured post
pOnement Of the case until after dinner, ana
on the reOpeHing of the court he appeared
with six chickens in a sack, small tub, and
big knife. AS the Judge eyed the defendant
and his queer outfit he asked him what he had
all those things in coUrt for, TO which Lee
Dan responded:
big Sam allie time tell heap lie. Him
schlare Mclean style. No care; talkee lie
allie same. Chinaman sehare heap good him.
Hap no talkee lie. Shabbee"
Lees attorney then explained that his client
believed that the witnesses for the prosecu
ton were taking advantage of him because
they were not under an oath which they
deemed binding. and he had brought the
chickens into court 10 swear them Chinese
fashion. BY this process the witness would
be compelled to lay the neck OF chicken on
the edge of the tub anu cut its head off, saying
at the same Tune: MAY my neck be severed
and my life depart as this chickens if l fail
to tell the truth on this OCCASION
The Judge asked IL 1t was proposed to kill
the cnicken IN open court, tn which Lee Dan
responded: "YOu bet; this all velly on squlare.
Like you see must do allie light"
To this Judge Lawler demurred emphatl-
cally. aud on hi order one OF the ballfs took
the chickens the tub and the knife. and dis
appeared with them, greatly to Lee Dams
sorrow.
