THE house of representatives amused
itself yesterday in trying out the fat in
the oleomargarine bill Henderson, OF
Iowa, was dramatic and emphatic, de-
claring that II the west could not have
the legislation wanted on some matters
vital to her interests :. she would 90 to
war for them. This bill is p sectional
measure and will hardly pass congress.
Its object is to raise the price of dairy
products. Pure OleOmargarine is in
finitely preferable as an article of food to
rancid and impure butter All that the
dairymen have right TO demand is that
the article be placed upon the market
properly labeled and stamped. Those
who prefer good oleOmargarine at the
same price that is charged for unwhole-
some butter should not be taxed for
their preference, to put money in the
pockets of class.

SPEAKING Of the possibility Of the Far
mers' Alliance taking hand in electing
the next state legislature, not few of
the journals Of this state rise to remark:
BLESS your souls, honey, we are will
Ing to place our destinies in your hands"
1t is astonishing how unanimously the
average politician, with an office in his
Eye, pronounces the farming community
the foundation and superstruCture, the
bone and sinew, the stay and hope Of
the nation so long rs only their vote is
required; but let those same farmers
dare to meet in convention to name
their choice for office-holders and legis-
lators, and their act is a threat to the
great wooden god of the democracy
from whose temple service these ring
politicians receive their daily bread and
whisky.

The attempt Of hot headed Americans
and Irish-Americans to involve this
country and Great Britain in war, rs
the result Of the fisheries trouble, is de.-
tined TO ignominious failure. This gov
eminent will not be misguided by any
such rash counsels, and those who at
tempt to filibuster against Canada under
American colors had better be in other
business. The experiment will not be a
healthy one. 1t could at best only dis
gust English statesmen. strengthen the
cause Of the tories. encourage the Ulster
loyalists and postpone the day OF Ire
lands release from oppressive rule.

! purchased in this city package of Prof.
HOrsford's Sef-Raising Bread Preparation
and submitted it to a chemical examination
and find that the same is composed of pure
and nOn-posOnous chemicals.
The idea Of Prof. HOTsford was indeed Il
grand one in supplanting the indigestible tar
tarate of soda, which is always the end result
of all Baking Powders composed of Cream of
Tartar and Soda, by the soluble phosphate of
lime and soda, the very nutritive value of
bread, and the bone-producing elements of
nature.
1t is certainly the best and most healthy
bread-raising preparation ever offered TO the
public, and every mother that has the health
of her children at heart should use no other.

the late celebrated chemist, Prof. Baron V.

every one without regard to religious or
political creed, sex or race. 1t is work

effort should receive an unselfsh re-

few hundred dollars for this good work

ment well worth the price of admission,
and the philanthropic work aided such
as should commend it to universal pat

KNIGHTS OF OFFICE,

Whatever may be said concerning the
Knights of Labor, their secret workings,
their principles, their political or non
political tendencies, their practical
acknowledged or what not, the coun-
try is not left in the dark concerning
that other order of whose political ten
denotes there can be no question. We
refer to the knights Of Office. That en-
tirely too numerous and very much TO
be condemned class, who were born in
the chamber of official expectancy, bap-
tized in the waters Of official disquietude,
grew up in an atmosphere Of official
miasma, and will no doubt die with
strong OdOr of official corruption linger-
ing around their defunCt Oarcases. Such
men swarm all over this country as the
loeusts swaEmed over Egypt in
the days of the ancient and amiable
Joseph. They devOur everything in the
way Of office as did those lOcusts every
green thing in the valley Of the Nile.
They eat, sleep, breathe, talk and drink
tho my
aspire to serve the country, or the state
or the city, or the school district; for
pay ifthey can get it, for the sake of the
office ifthey cannot. These men are the
plaques OF political life, the pests OF con-
ventions, the terror of the timid voter
and the pariahs OF a free franchise.
Their highest ambition is to draw the
milk of daily sustenance through the
nipple of office. 10 such fellows the
state is an ever welcome nurse, particu-
larly If she comes provided with
bottle. They call themselves
politicians for pay, statesmen for
a stipend when they get elected
to legislatures. They should be
slammed as pestilence, avoided as
pest, Ostracises as civil, political and
social lepers. Society will only be safe
from intrusion and the state from mis-
rule when these msR are relegated to a
blessed obscurity in the limbo of cranks.
Texas has more of these men in her Dor
ders than 10 healthy for the common
wealth. Men who make Of Office trade
and of the franchise merchandise where
by they may get gain. No ordinary
methods OF repression will avail to rid
the body polite of such leeches. They
must be sat down upon; sat down upon
SO hard that an absolute collapse will
follow; q collapse without possibility of
any subsequent imitation. These men
are safe only when they are dead. The
only reports in which they figure to ad-
vantage are the mortusry reports.

The name Of James G. Blaine inspires
as much terror in the Democratic breast
as that of Richard cour de Leon W
wont to make in the followers OF his de-
generated brother John. Blaine is the
greatest American politician Of
his day and in all high places
has sunk the politician In the
statesman. His name, made the synO-
nym OF all disgraceful things by the
false tOngued press Ofhi5 political rivals
has been used to scare the democratic
boilers into the ranks as the SaraCen
women used the name of Richard to
scare their babies. This is not to be
wondered at. II any one man in The
United States has met the democracy in
their chosen stro 2ghold, challenged all
their opposition and hostility, flung the
gage Of battle in their teeth and then
completely routed them in the face of
the whole nation, that man is James G..
Blaine, whose great heart is as true to
America, and all American ideas and
policies. as ia the needle to the pole.
James G. Blaine, of Maine, Is man
whom the nation has never hOnOred
without comforting dignity upon itself
at home and abroad. His one crime in
the eyes Of republicans has been that he
would not bow to the high behests of
the Utica aesthetic, and dared to resent
the insolence of New York's ambrosial
senator. His one crime in the eyes Of
the democracy is that he is not demo-
rrat, nor even mugwump.
