Ben: Perley Poore declares that dairy.
men can now realize what Is called
''the glorious uncertainty of the law"
The supreme courts in four States have
passed upon the constitutionality of the
laws enacted by the legislature of those
States, prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of butterine. The highest judicial
authorities in New York and in Minneso-
ia have solemnly declared that it is law
full to concert vile imitation of butter
from fat rendered from the bodies of dis
eased animals or from any other greasy
substance The high State courts OF
Missouri and Pennsylvania have taken
directly opposite ground, and sustain
the constitutionality of the State laws
prohibiting the manufacture and sale of
this unhealthy compound. When news
papers disagree, people can pay their
money and take their choice, reading
both sides and forming their own
opinions 'But these contrary opinions
from the bench" says Major Poore,
"cloud a grave question with doubt, and
can but cause much injury to the dairy
interests of the country. If the manu-
facturers of oleomargarine and butterine
find their occupation gone in State
where it has been declared illegal, they
can move across the line to another State,
and there carry on their traffic. Ways
can always be found to introduce the pro-
duct into those States where its manu-
facture is forbidden, and thus all restric-
tive legislation is rendered nugatory. 1t
is to be hoped that the question will be
carried up to the supreme court and
properly argued there, that it may be
settled on some certain basis. The de-
cision of the supreme court of Pennsyl-
vania, unfolding the constitutionality Of
ELECTROMAGNETIC legislation, appears to
be sound in law and common sense, and
could it be confirmed by the supreme
courts of the United States, it would pro
tect the now troubled interests of tn
dairymen."

Dynamite or Gas?

A terrific explosion has taken place at the
Victoria railway station, Norwich, England,
which partially demolished the building. No
one is reported to have been injured The
cause of the explosion is mystery. Sir
Henry Hawkins, judge of the high court of
justice Queens bench division), had left Nor
witch on train starting from another depot
few moments before the explosion, and it
is believed by many that the explosion was
the work of enemies Of his who wished to in
jure him, and who had made a mistake in
regard to the station at which he would
leave the town.
Justice Hawkins sentenced the dynamiters
Cunningham and Burton to penal servitude
for life on May Is, 1888.
Later The explosion in the Victoria rail
way station is now believed to have been
caused by gas

A dispatch from TiIiin, O., says: The east
bound passenger train, rushing along at a
speed of forty miles an hour, about one mile
west of Chicago Junction, ran into the rear
of a freight train on the main track, going in
the same direction. The shock was terrific
The engine of the passenger train, the bag

caboose and about dozen freight cars were
wrecked and hurled into mass The noise
and cries of the injured soon added to the
confusion. The Baltimore and Ohio officials
are very reticent, and little can be learned
from them. L. Vandelier, fireman of the
passenger train, was instantly killed, and
found dead under the engine. Charles Bris.

Der of others were injured, but their names
are unknown None of the passengers were
killed The loss viii probably reach twenty
five thousand dollars.

LANDLORDISM IN AMERICA.
Charges Against IA Foreign Owner
of Real Estate.

A Chicago dispatch says: William Scully
at present resident of London, Eng, who,
OWNS large tracts of American land, has in
troduced the Irish landlord system in the
management of his American properties
The Chicago Tribune says: "Scully is one of
the chief figures among the alien promietors
of American soil. and has introduced the
meanest features of the worst forms of Irish
landlordism on his estates in this country
He has acquired in the neighborhood of 30
900 acres of land in Illinois alone, at a merely
nominal figure--5O cents to 81 per acre, as
rule. His career as an Irish landlord was
history OF oppression and extortion, that was
appropriately finished by bloody encounter
with his tenants He was tried and acquitted
on the charge of double murder, but became
30 unpopular that in 1850 he sold most of his
Irish property, and has since devoted himself
to building up landlord system in Illinois,
Kansas, Nebraska and other states. He made
entries of the public domain through the me-
dunn of the land warrants issued to Mexican
war soldiers, which he purchased at the rate
Of 80 cents per acre In Logan
county, Iii, alone, he has 10000 to
5000 acres. 1t is the almost uni
versal testimony that Scully's rule in that
county has reduced two hundred and fifty
tenants and their families to condition APP
preaching serfdom. Furthermore, Scully
pays 10 taxes, une tenants signing lrOnclau
agreements to assume the same, but they are
required to pay to Scully's agent the tax
money at the same time as the rentals-the
LIST of January OF each year; whereas, the
agent need not turn over the taxes to the
county treasurer until about June 10 follow
ing. 1t is suggest that Scully probably makes
handsome percentage on the tax money re-
manning in his hands for five months 1t is
also shown that great deal of this
aliens land entirely escapes taxation,
thus increasing the burden on other
property holders; that he takes the
most extraordinary precautions to secure his
rent, executing a cast iron lease, with pro-
visions that mortgage the tenants all, scarcely
all owing his soul to escape, and making it
compulsory for small grain to be sold imme-
hiately after harvest no matter what may be
the condition of the market; that grain
dealers are notified not to buy of the tenants
ntil Scully' rent is paid; in short, that Scully
has founded land system so exactng that it
is only paraleled in Ireland, and rules his
.enantry SO despotically that few can be in
duced to tell the story of their wrongs, justly
feeling that it would involve ruin to them"

Efficacy of Buckshot.

Eighty prisoners confined in the Jail at
Louisville, KY, refused to go to their cells
one night recently. They were threatened at
the point of guns, but would not go, saying
that they were afraid mob would come at
night to take out Melvin Butler, the supposed
murderer of Macoy, the gambler. Jaier
Rubel and Turnkey Jacob Graef finally fired
into the prisoners. Daniel Rice, counter

Good Fruit Paws.

The value Of a crop Of frIit depends
more upon its quality than its quantity.
No matter how large the general fruit
crop may be, nor how heavily the mar
kets may be "giuttcd,' good fruit will
always sell readily, and at fair prices
Nor can there be surplus grown. If
not sold Immediately the crops may be
dried, evaporated or canned, for there
will arrive time when such will be in
demand Too much fruit has not yet
been produced during any season.
When the blackberry was made cul-
tivatcd crop it was predicted that, as
the fence corners and abandoned loca-
tons had always afforded a supply, the
introduction Of large quantities of the
cultivated kinds would render prices
too low to realize profits, but as the
crops were increased the berries were
improved, and a demand was created
that grew with the supply, the conse-
quence being that although carloads
are shipped to our large cities during
the fruit season, the prices have been
higher than at any previous time. The
same rule applies to other fruit crops.
AS the supply increases fruit growers en-
deavor to advance prices by improving
the size and quality of the fruit. In
venturing upon fruit growing, the varie =
ties selected should be those best adapted
to the climate in which they are to be
grown. the prolificacy, hardness and
quality being the chief considerations.
And it must not be overlooked that som
varieties require special cultivation,
while the character of the soil is an i'm
portant factor also. In marketing fruit
something depends upon the mode of
shipment, while the manner of harvest
ing, and the proper time for so doing,
largely affects the keeping qualities.
Like every other pursuit, labor is neces-
sary. Preventing insect depredations
and pruning at the right moment call for
good judgment and careful attention. -
