The western dairymen do not propose to

Butter and Cheese association, held at
Cedar Rapids the other day, resolutions
were unanimously adopted declaring that
self-respect and selfinterest make it the
duty OF every dairyman to patronizc on. "

tons to the handling of pure dairy goods {:
and pledgingthemselve to withhold their
patronage from all stores, groceries or

ISOLATION was also requested to obtain the
names of dealers who have taken cut Ii
censes to sell oleomargarine for the infor-
nation of dairymen. AS oeomargarne is
neither manufactured nor, so far as is
known, sold in Vermont, there will be
little call for Vermont dairymen to adopt
this method but there can be no doubt
that it will be an effective weapon in some
States.

New York is following the example of
staid old Philadelphia, in the matter of
parlor prize fights. There was one of
these intellectual and heightened enter
tainments in the old Thorne mansion on
Fifth avenue, which is now a club house,
last week. The ring was pitched in the
main parlOr, and blood was freely spilled
in the contest a prize fight is no more
brutal in parlor than in an open field :;
but in any place it is barbarous and dis
gushing thing and the legal penalties
should he vigorously enforced whenever
the promoters of such II fight can be

In the widespread mourning for Gen
eral Logan will mingle Il feeling of deep
sympathy for his widow. She was his
judicious counsellor and friend as well as
his constant companion. She was abso-
lutely devoted to him. Her life at Wash
ngton and elsewhere, in the midst of pub
lie affairs, and in frequent contact with
public men, gave her familiarity with
the currents of politics and with influen-
tial people, rarely found among American
women. Without leaving the prescribed
bounds of woman's sphere, and certainly
never over-stepping the limits of woman
ly deCOrum, she was often very influential
in making friends for him and in warding
off opposition, in his political contests.
She thus largely contributed to his sue
cess III public life and in his private bust
ness he relied greatly on her common
sense and intelligent assistance. She will
feel as if there was little left to live for,
now that he is gone.

The passage by the House of the bill in
creasing the annual appropriation for the
benefit of the militia organizations of the
country to 100000 will meet with general
approval. The Senate having already
passed a bill apprOpriating 5000 for
this purpose there can be no doubt of a
satisfactory adjustment of the amount to
be appropriated. The time was when it
would have been argued against such leg
lalatlon, that it was unwise to assist the
southern States to arm their militia which
might at some future day again be used
to reassert the right of secession. But
that fear has passed away. In the next
war in which this country engages, North
and South will be fighting side by side /:
