Protecting the Treasury.

From the Ne30 York Star Dem.l
We are glad to see that Senator Vest. Of
Missouri, had the courage to oppose one of the
numerous pension jobs now pressed upon
Congress by vOte-seeking demagogues. SEN
ator Blair, of New Hampshire, author OF the
most sweeping and reckless of these devices
for depicting the Treasury, questioned the
right of eN-Confederates to oppose such
measures. 1t is time for the Southern Sena-
tors to treat such suggestions with the con-
TEMPT they deserve. The men who represent
the Southern States in Congress have lust the
same rights, duties and interests as other
members. Extravaganza expenditures increase
the taxes of the Southern as well rs of the
Northern people, and it is incumbent on the
Representatives from all the States to join in
opposing schemes to bankrupt the Treasury.
The very object of the war was to restore the
Southern States to the Union, and now that
they are restored they are the equals of all
Others. with similar duties and responsible
ties. Let the men they send to represent
them at Washington show that they habitu-
ally appreciate this fact. and resent with the
indignation it deserves each attempt to ques-
ton their right to vote according to their own
convictions on every question coming before
Congress.

Hogms Butter Men Alarmed.

| Congress is being burdened with petit
tons for and against the bill to stop thu
manufacture and sale Of imitation butter
10 is stated that over 500 petitions were
received 10y Congress last week. They
were sent from all parts of the country
and were signed chiefly by members o
agricultural associations. The knights
of Labor, it seems, have taken a hand il
/ the matter. but as their hand appears
( both for and against the bill, it is hardly
probable that they will have much in1u,
ence.
The kind OF a bill that Congress ought
to pass IS one that would provide heavy
punishment for selling imitation butter for
the genuine article. If people want cleo.
margarine and butterine let them have it,
but let them know what they are buying.
A very large percentage Of those who buy
butter is imposed upon. People pay a
big price for what they suppose to be but
ter, but which, in fact, in many instances,
is only very unwhOlesome imitation of
that article.
The imitation butter manufacturers
are making extraordinary efforts to de-
feat the bill, and may succeed. The sem
timent in Congress at present, however,
is that the bogus butter business must be
conducted on an honest basis.
1t is matter of little consequence in
the discussion OF this bill whether the
imitation butter is manufactured out Of
wholesome materials or not. The only
question is whether oleOmargarine and
butterine are put on the market under
false pretenses, and, if so, whether it
isn't the duty of Congress, in the inter-
est or public health, to compel the manu-
facturers of these articles to make known
to the public just what their stuff is.
There is no doubt that the sale of bogus
butter has reached enormous proportions.
The people who use it seem to like it.
There are physicians who have lately
said, however. that 1t Is dangerous to
health. If il is, the bogus butter bust
ness cannot be checked too soon 1t is as
important that the people should have
wholesome food as it is that they should
have good laws.
lf imitation butter is as good food ar
ticle as Its manufacturers claim that tits,
there ought to be no objections on the part
OF those interested in it to having it put
on the market for just what it is. Let
them stamp its true character upon it,
and nobody will then undertake to sup
press it. 1t is the deceit which is prac-
ticed with regard to it which excites the
greatest opposition to it. The sale of it
would doubtless fall off very considerably
if people knew exactly what they were
eating for butter.

CamnaiUn Points

Gen. Gordon and Maj. Bacon have ar
ranged for joint discussions every day
this week. IL is hardly probable that
there will be anything new in their
speeches. They will simply present the
same ideas in a different dress. The
joint discussions, however. will increase
their audiences and assist, to some eX-
tent, in arousing greater enthusiasm in
the campaign. The State is getting
pretty well stirred up ever the
GovernOrship issue, and doubtless many
are beginning to wonder whether. after
all, the two gentlemen who have
presented themselves as candidates for
the nomination are entitled to as much at
tentiOn as they are receiving. Perhaps
the question presents itself whether there
are not other gentlemen in the State, a
little more modest, perhaps, but of marked
ability and high character, who are bet
ter fitted to fill the Office of Governor than
either of the gentlemen who are making
such extraordinary exertiOns for it. 1t
is, Of course, customary for candid ates
for Governor to make known their ambi-
tion before the meeting OF the nominating
convention, but it is seldom that such
canvass as is now being made in this
State is seen.
Some of our State exchanges say that
this is not year for dark horses. 1t NAV
not be. but il the candidates at present
IN the race keep up their present pace
they may travel outside of the respect
and good will of the people before the
convention meets.
The discussion OF the two-thirds rule
mas begun. Isn't this discussion rather
prematuref IL NAV prove to be a trouble.
some rule, but there is no occasion for
anticipating trouble. 1t would be much
more to the point now to have the ques-
ton, whether any of President Cleve-
lands appoIntees in this State are taking
an active part in the campaign, definitely
answered. IL the President insists upon
keeping 10 ofise in this State men who
are not protected by the civil service law,
he ought certainly TO insist that his APP
pointees snail respect his civil service
policy.

They Saw Washineton.

NeaoblrVDOrt Letter in the Boston Transcript.
There is a lady in this city who has passed
her 99th year. Her faculties are bright. She
is a lovely woman-Miss Phoebe Hanod. She
was years old when Washington visited this
city and remembers him distinctly. 1t was an
event which would impress itself upon the
memory of bright child, for he was received
with the discharge of cannon and bands Of
music. A band sung, standing before him:
"He comes! he comes the hero comes!
Sound, sound your trumpets, beat, beat your
drums;
From post to post let cannons roar" etc.
The lines in this verse which call for the
beating of drums and roaring of cannon were
instantly obeyed after the pronunciation of
each word. There was fen de joie fired as
he entered the house prepared for him NOW
our Public library. and rockets and fireworks
in the evening. Noise and rejoicing enough
TO make a child of three remember the event.
Another little incident may be interesting
in this connection:
William G. Bradley, of Vermont, and
daughter of he Hon. Mark Richards, told
very shortly before her death that she had
clear recollection of Washington. He called
upon her mother, then living in Boston, when
she " as little child. She sat listening TO
him with veneratiOn and delight. When he
rose to go, andmaking his adieu, she slipped,
unseen. behind him, and laid her little hand
upon his coat sleeve. She said she was i'm
PEELED by feeling of admiration to do this.
She told me that he was stately in his man
ner, and dgnihed and polite in his address.
We recall another old lady, Mrs. Morris,
wife of Gen. Lewis Morris. who was, think,
a nephew of the Morris of Revolutionary
fame She told me that she visited Mrs.
Washington at Mount Vernon when the place
was in It's early beauty. She spoke of Mrs.
Washington's good management in the affairs
of the household. She had personal super
vision Of the place. Miss Curtis, then young
lady, came into the room and asked if she
might buy a thread lace bertha for the ball
which WAS to take place soon.
p mo, my DEAR" said Mrs. Washington, 81
cannot indulge you in such extravaganza;
you must deny yourself this BERTHA" That
was sufficient. Her word was law, and the
young lady said no more.

Playing a Trick on Mr.. wilkins.

.. D&6D0bch 10 me Indianapolis oOurTt~e'
There are number of members IN the
House who are passiOnately fond OF ma rhiug
COIN. Among the number is Representative
Wilkins of Ohio. He is remarkably lucky,
too; indeed, so lucky that many are AFRAID 10
try their luck with him, However. the other
day two members put up job on MN
They agreed to match with him and each 10
hold "head" or ia u at every matcn ;
That. is, both to endeavOr so that one would
always match him, and then to dlvi lie thelr
winnings. The first member preached
Mr.. wilkins and asked him II he auted 10
match him for quarter.
That's too small" REPLIED Mr.. wilkins.
"Tll match you for dollar"
Just then the second conspirator ap-
preached. and he, too, asked to JOIN IN. as
three made it lvelier. They matched. and
wilkins lost. Five times the scheme worked.
"Now match you for So" said Mr.. VIII
kns; II lose all or get even"
They matched. He lost again.
''rry for So" he said.'
They matched. wilkins lost again.
Twenty dollars" cried wilkins He lost
again.
Try s40," said one of the conspirators.
NO" said Wilkins, "but I'm going to see If
| really have lest my luck"
He rushed into the lobby, and the first per-
son he met was friend who was a stock
broker. "YOu buy me 100 shares OF Erie" he
exclaimed. Wilkins had not lost his luck, for
he cleared $3.50 of the stock above the money
he lost matching. The cOnsprators now dom
know whether to refund the money they won,
or invite wilkins to a wine supper.

From the Chicago Neaos tT'sd.)
1t will not do to say that the public has the
right TO purchase preserved eggs. if for any
reason one prefers them, for chat is blow at
a great industry which should be protected.
we have not at hand the statistics as to the
number of hens and henroOsts in the United
states, for the Census Department in its re-
port stops at sheep and wool. but owners of
beet beds and cucum Der patches need not be
told that there are several hens in every coun-
try village. This great industry is threatened
by the preserved-egg business, which is
wholly against nature and the Oivlne rights
OF hens. Let it be suppressed before the
chicks now in various old barrels become APP
prenticed to the egg producing industry.

The Home Rule Measnres.

The present week promises to be a very
exciting one in England. 1t is expected
that the question whether MIR Gladstone's
home rule bin shall be read second time
Will be settled.
There doesn't appear TO be any reason
for doubling that the bill will not reach a
second reading. The opposition to it in
Mr.. Glsdstone's own party is so marked
that there is believed to be no hope for it..
II a second reading Is refused, Mr.. Glad
stone, il seems, proposes TO demand an
immediate dissolution of Parliament.
Englishmen will then have a chance to
decide upon the course they will pursue
With regard 10 Ireland. IL is certain that
1t will not be possible TO continue TO gov
ern ireland as sbe is being governed OF
present. The great majority OF English
men admit that. If Mr.. Gladstone's home
rule measures are defeated other measures
will have TO be proposed. Ireland is
bound 20 have home rule OF some sort.
Some other statesman may frame the
measures which will give ireland some
thing, II not all, Of what she is demand
ing, but Mr. Gladstone will have the
credit OF having been the first English
state3man TO make a move towards doing
| Ireland justice. That's something that
cannot be taken away from him. He may
not live 10 see Parliament at Dublin,
but the one that assemblies there will owe
more TO him than TO any other English
man.
Mr.. Gladstone may have some surprises
in store. He is a man fun OF resources,
and it is not probable that he intends TO
let his great measures fail in way that
Will reflect little il any credit upon him.
self The events OF the present week in
England will, therefore, be looked for
with deep interest.
