As an infallible standard of Just legisla-

heritage of civil liberty left US by our
fathers. 1t is the one infallible guide to
the attainment of perfect justice in gov

accompany it into extinction.

Bulgaria Bracing Up,
How Butter is Spoiled.

H. Talcott, one of the Dairy and Food
Commissioners of Ohio, has been inyesti-
eating the complaints of the bad butter
coming from the farmers to market. In q
recent circular he SAYS "Our Commission
firmly believes that large majority of the
butter made by farmers is good butter, but
is ruined when transferred to the dealer S
hands, and it is done in this manner. II is
received mostly at country stores and
placed in filthy. frowy, rancid boxes or
places, and stored in cellars thoroughly inn
pregnated with vicious odors of rotten pc
tatoes, coal oil, fish brine, pork brine, and
every other foul odor that comes from de-
cayed vegetables kept for sale at such
stores. Genuine butter will lose all its
good flavor in a very few hours when put
in any such place.
But the next fatal step of the dealer is
to take all varieties of colored butter and
rework them together, mixing and crush
ing until he secures an even color. he then
packs his mass of salye into tubs or firkins
(for it is no longer butter, the granulations
OF butter are spoiled by this second and
unnecessary working, and the result is
simply grease). In this ruined condition it
reaches the consumer through the city
commission houses and of course is pro-
nouneed unfit for table use, and possibly
for cooking purposes. How can this be
remedied? In two ways. The consun er
must purchase direct from the farmer
in suitable sized packages. so tnat no
second working need be made. or the
dealer must reform. No dealer should
buy butter of the farmer except it is put in
convenient shipping packages when made,
and in amounts OF ten to fifty pounds
each, according to size of dairy, to have
il all times good, fresh, sweet butter, and
no more roll butter should be received by
them than the daily retail trade of the
store demands. This is practical, and the
entire make of butter in the country can
be brought to these terms. l have done it,
or caused it TO be done in stores under my
control.
Next, no dealer should handle pound
of butter until he first secures a room TO

Another Great Fire in Maine.
BIRMINGHAM (Me), October 23d-A M
A great fire has ragged since 8 o'clock last
evening. At this hour Q:30 A,M), the fire
is sweeping down Main street, and will
probably consume everything on the west
side of the street. The Masonic Hall, Odd
Fellows Hail. Chronicle Office, Knowlton &
McLeary's job printing house, Postoffice,
Hotel Marble, Exchange Hotel, and some
fifteen stores are now in ruins. The burned
district thus far, is from Hotel Marble down
Pleasant street. Everythingis is swept clean,
including the jail; thence along Broadway
to Main street; thence up Main street to
Tarbox Bros store, on the west side of the
street also down the entire length of
Main street to Depot street, on the west
side. The Baptist Church is also in ruins,
and the Methodist and Congregational
churches burning. 1t is utterly impossible
to estimate the loss. A steam fire en-
gine has just arrived from Lewiston in
one hour and fifteen minutes. The COM
pany from Phillips is almost worked
out. Its labors are almost fruitless. on ac-
count of the gale which prevails. The
Peoples Trust Company is also burned
out. The fire caught in E. Greer's stable,
on Pleasant street. No accidents are re-
ported, but everybody is exhausted.

THE Sun NEVER SETS IN Our COUNTRY
Websters eloquent description of the Brit
ish empire is very readable. but we doubt
whether it is generally realized that we,
too, have dominion on which the sun
never sets. It will hardly be believed, per
haps, without an examination of the maps
that San Francisco instead of being the
west line of this dominion, is only about
midway between our eastern and western
limits; and yet it is a fact that the farthest
Aleutian isle acquired in our purchase Of
Russian America, is as fer to the west of
that city as Eastport, Maine is TO the east
of it. Between the northwestern limit of
Washington Territory and the southern
limit of Alaska there is break of a few
degrees. but, with the slightest deduction,
our territory extends through 196 degrees
of longitude or seventeen degrees more
than halfway round the globe. Hence
when the sun is giving its good night kiss
to our westermost isle on the confines Of
the Behring's sea- it is already flooding the
fields and forests of Maine with its morning
light, and in the eastern part of the State is
more than an hour high At the very mo-
ment when the Aleutian fisherman, warned
by the approaching shades of night, is pull
ing his canoe to the shore, the wood-ehop-
per of Maine is beginning to wake the for
est echoes with the stirring music of the az.

be, let there be moderation; measure is the
one thing needful. The difficulty Of find

A Complete Refutation.

The San Francisco Post publishes the fol-
lowing letter, which completely answers
the C1ronicles effort to stismatize Republi-
cans upon this point, for the purpose of aid
ing Hearst's election to the United States
Senate:
Editor POST General La Grange was an
intimate army friend of President Grant,
and his appointment as Superintendent OF
the San Francisco Mint was Grants per-
sonal choice, and no one of the California
representatives in Congress had any voice
in the appointment.
Some discharged employees brought
charges against Superintendent La Grange,
who Immediately thereupon sent his resig-
nation TO President Grant, giving as his
reasons for doing so that, as he owed his
appointment entirely to Grants Fl fiiendship,
he considered himself responsible to him
only for his official acts, and he desired
that his resignation should be considered a
standing one, taking effect Immediately
whenever the President should think any
charges of official misconduct against him
were substantiated.
President Grant never considered it neces-
sary to make use of Superintendent La
Oranges resignation, which remained in his
hands during many years of his admins
tration.
Under these circumstances not one of our
Representatives in Congress had the power
to cause the removal of General La
Grange, and it is absolutely silly and dis
honest for the Chronicle to charge our
Representatives with anything in connec-
ton with General La Oranges appoint
ment, his official acts, or keeping him in
Office.
They were entirely powerless to do any
thing for or against him, officially, as Su-
perintendent of the Mint. No charges OF
any consequence were ever substantiated
against La Grange during the many in
vestigations instigated by discharged EN-
ployes, for the man was honest and inno-
cent. His only fault was in trusting
Pinnev, as everybody-bankers, brokers
and business men-did before that adroit
and accomplished rascal ran away to Eu
rope.
When Superintendent La Grange at last,
in disgust, insisted upon his resignation
being accepted, he retired from the Office a
poor man, his Oakland. and only property,
mortgaged beyond hopes of redemption
of which fact the Chronicle is fully well
aware.
He left this State for Arizona to fight the
worlds cares anew, but, after Years of hard
ship, his mining ventures began to pay,
and he now resides in the East in mod
erately comfortable circumstances.
This is all there is about it, and it is so
we'll known to be true, and can be so easily
proven, that it conclusively shows the
Chronicles scandalous efforts to injure and
slander innocent people TO be based on
nothing but malicious and uncalled for
falsehoods. Shame upon such contempt
ibie journalism. Respectfully,
A FRIEND OF JUSTICE.

Cur Wine Industry.

The interest which latterly has been
aroused in the progress of American vine
yard enterprise, is direct compliment to
the vine and raisin growers of California,
being one of the established results of a
great public-spirited work which, unaided
they have been CARRYING forward for 2
number of seasons. The California VIII
cultural Commission recently sent a repre-
sentative to New York and Washington to
lay before leading wine dealers samples OF
the products of our vineyards, that they
might know something of the flavor, cost
of production and proper selling price of a
pure California vintage. AS a result of the
interest created in the remarkable showing,
movement is now on foot for the forma-
ton Of national organization of wine
makers, for concerted action for the best in
terests Of the industry. The representa-
tive of our Viticultural Commission re-
ceived the general support of Eastern wine
dealers when they understood the charac-
ter of the work in which he was engaged
and the nature of the bill which has been
introduced in the House of Representatives
at his instance. 1t is gradually becoming
known through the United States that
good, pure wines can be made in this coun-
try, and when honest producers are thor
oughly protected against cOmpounders and
manufacturers of spurious wines, produc-
ton and consumption will both show the
steady increase which follows the estab-
lishment of public confidence in home
product. California wines have been de-
based by Eastern compounders, but now
that samples of pure goods have been
widely distributed among the trade, and
large correspondence opened between East
EN- wine dealers and the growers or their
representatives in California, our home
product will be given fair trial in coming
seasons and the growers have no fears OF
the results. lis but repetition of the ex-
periences of large handlers of the raisin
product of the State When systematic
work was first iDaugurated by local houses
dealing largely in California productions,
it was found that Eastern dealers had him
dered the introduction of the California
fruit. They had encouraged the sale OF
the foreign product, even when direct in
quiry was made for California raisins.
They made comparison of the appearance
of the fruit damaging to the California
product, bat we're often compelled to admit
superiority in flavor and size of punches
California dealers saw some justice iu the
complaints made, and decided to remedy
all defects in coming seasons, SO that the
home product should fairly enter the lists
for the fayors of the trade and consumers
in the East The dealers succeeded in in
ducing the growers to systemize the grad
ing and packing of their product, and now
it is an admitted fact that every season
California produces raisins superior to SIM
liar grades of Spanish fruit. There is no
surplus of the crop to carry from season TO
season. The products of certain vineyards
are sold long before they have left the pack
ing-house, and the general demand for the
fruit is outstripping the productive capacity
of the Vineyards Grocer and Gamer.
