ON the Latter Measure.
WARRINGTON, Aug. 2S. Representa-
tive Butterworth has no hope after the
fHlustelinS performances in the house
Tuesday that either the compound lard
bill or the anti-option bill viii pass. He
was quite indignant over the situation
Tuesday night with respect to these
measures, and talked freely, s.. ing:
The Lard BiIl.
"The lard bill should have been
pressed TO a final vote Satuldar night.

The Antl-option BiH.
"The bill which treats with gambling
in farm staples has far more dilticUlt
subject to deal with To strike the
evil and yet protect legitimate trade HId
commerce Is not easy. There Is no form
OF gambling that IS so injurious in its
effects upon the community, and not one
that Is more diilicnlt to suppress. Trad.

gambling in them is a crime against so.
