The expectation expressed in this paper
that the funeral Of General Stannard
would be one of the most imposing
ones ever witnessed here was more
than realized. We doubt if any sim
liar occasion has called together more
prominent men Of our State. Certainly
no similar one in the last generation has
equalled it in its demonstration of popular
interest and sorrow. The funeral pageant
and the exercises were throughout appro-
pirate, dignifed and deeply impressive.
The unbroken order and smoothness of
the proceedings showed careful attention
to every detail. 1t was the burial of a
soldier, and the military features of it
properly had prominence. But it was
also an extraordinary demonstration of
respect on the part of the people. They
gathered from many towns and filled by
thousands the streets through which the
funeral column marched. All, too, were
hushed and solemn. As for the soldiers,
of whom hundreds were in town.
their sober faces showed the signs of
sincere and deep sorrow 1t was
a long procession of mOurHcIS, drawn hv
no pageant or display, but by sincere grief
and affection for their lost commander
and comrade. This is what would have
best pleased General Stannard if he could
have been conscious of the scene: for he
thought more Of the love and confidence
Of his men, in his life than he did OF hon
ors or titles or rewards
The funeral of General Stannard will
not soon be forgotten by any who witness
ed it and while it was worthy tribute
to brave and true soldier. the occasion
had its lesson of loyalty and patriotism
which will not be lost upon the young
men who must step into the places fast
being made vacant by the departures OF

Passage of the OIeomargarine Bill

Inc ELECTROMAGNETIC bill passed the
House in better shape than was expected
Nearly all the essential points demanded
by the advocates Of the bill seem to have
been secured. The definition of olsomar-
Rarine is comprehensive enough to in
clude every possible imitation of genuine
butter-"all substances made Of oleomar-
garine or butterine, lardine, suine and
neutral oils, all lard extracts and tallow
extracts, and mixtures and compounds Of
tallow, beef fat. suet, lard, lard oil,
vegetable oil, annato and other coloring
matter, and intestinal fat, offal, tat made
in imitation or sembance of butter calcu-
lated to or intended to be sold as butter or
for butter" Certainly, there is no chance
for any spurious product to creep in here
The special taxes demanded by the franz
ers OF the bill are also imposed, and are
heavy enough to seriously handicap the
spurious rs opposed to genuine butter
The branding, stamping and labelling of
every package of oleomarRarine provided
for, will render it impossible for any
dealer to deceive his customers as to the
nature of the product he is selling them
On the whole, the bill ought TO satisfy the
most eXacting of its friends. Having
passed the House, there seems to be no
reasonable doubt that the bill will become
law. Those who wish to purchase coun-
terfeit butter of course will still have an
opportunity to do so, but they will know
exactly what they are buying. Oleomar
garine will be sold no longer for what it is
not The passage of this bill will cover a
multitude of congressional sins in the eyes
of the farmers

Probably neither Congress nor the pee
pie take Il 'realizing sense of the fact
that with the first Of June our national
legislators completed six months of the
present session. TO the outsider it looks
as if the results thus far achieved might
have been accomplished in six weeks
The worst of it is that in this space of SIX
months such an immense amount OF un.
finished business has been permitted to
accumulate that the prospect is that SIX
months of legislation to come would hard
lv clear the calendar. Congressman are
already talking about a session lasting
INTO August and even the more rapidly
working Senate can hardly see its way
clear to an adjournment before the last of
July.
The new rule for eXpediting the routine
appropriation bills in the House, by
which the bills were assigned to different
committees does not seem to have accom-
plished its purpose. 1t is seldom that Il
Congress suffers six months to pass with a
record so devoid of important legislation
as the record Of the present Congress-
The quarrels in the Democratic party
have done much to bring legislation to a
standstill, and until these quarrels are
settled there is little hope that the House
will get itself into effective working order.

a storm of Indignation on the part of
the oleomargarine manufacturers, has
burst upon the devoted heads of the mem
bers of Congress. The oleo bill is pro
nounced IAN outrage, "trampling under
foot of the rights of American citizens. -
The Senate is appealed to to crush the Of
fenslve bill, and the president is besought
to send it back to the House with his veto
The prospects that the bill will become
law, however, are good for the farmers
of the country are back of it.

The Montreal star perhaps hits pretty
nearly the correct view of the case, when
it says that England, rather than risk the
slightest trouble with the United States,
will yield to the demands of the Ameri-
cans and sacrifice Canadian interests. s"
AS the matter stands it is probably true
that Canada will have to back down either
for England or for the United States and
it is much better that England should adj
minister the discipline

Mr.. Powderly AYERS that the Knights of
labor is not II political organization but
that shows how little Mr.. Powderly knows
about it. The Cleveland convention of
the order ON Monday announced certain
measures for the approval of Congress,
and threatened to oppose at the polls all
members of that body who refused to sup
port them. The measures so insisted
upon by the Knights are as follows That
the government shall purchase all lands
now held by aliens, and forbid all furt her
acquisition of the public domain by other
than actual settlers; that all barbed wire
fences shall come down; all uncultivated
land held in parcels of more than 100 acres
to be taxed as if cultivated; no minors 60
be permitted to work over eight hours a
day, and all bills approved 10y the labor
committee of the House of Representa-
tives to be passed without question. This
platform is very good so far as regards
barbed wire fences, but we imagine that
Congress VIII think twice about the re-
naming items.

H DesMET MILLS.

1t has been mmorcd several days
that the DeSmet mills we're sold,
but the last information we have is
to the effect that the Citizens Bank
aud the creditors OF DtSmeL have
agreed to accept al offer made by
Mr.. e. w. Robinson, Of Pensacola,
but no sale is cOnsumated ut this
writing. From what we learn it is
more than probable that a sale will
be MAIDS in a few days to Mr.. Rob-
inson, the terms of which have been
pretty well agreed upon. 1t is, OF
course the duty of the Receiver,
Mr.. H. G. Vaughan, TO obtain the
best price possible, which he is
endeavOring TO do. While it is 70
the interest OF the community at
large that the mills sell speedily,
and without regard to terms. Mr..
Vaughan is not left with discretion
to act upon that basis. II the sale
is finally concluded we will publish
as full particulars RS we can CLEAN
next week.
