Diedin Great Agony.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. Bone Of
the very few cases of hydrophobia on
the Pacific coast occurred here last
week. James Reid Mcdonald, pro-
minent merchant of Seattle, arrived
here October 9th. and applied to Dr.
w. S. Taylor for treatment for ex-
treme nervousness. The doctor could
discover no physical cause for his con-
ditiOn, but learned from him that he
had been bitten by dog in Chicago
while he was visiting the worlds fair.
The doctors were changed at the re-
quest of McDonald's wife. but Nc,
Donald died last week. There has
been considerable discussion among
physicians as to the cause of death,
but Drs Taylor, Robinson and Thorne
have agreed that it was case of by
drophobia Dr. Julius Rosenstein
signed the death certificate al result
ing from acute mania, and tonight
refused to talk about the matter Mr..
Mcdonald suffered great deal, and

Want Good Butter,

Seattle Is talking about butter these
days, and the citizens OF this and other
cities in the state should keep up the
agitation until it will be possible to
know when they buy the genuine
article. 1t is even reported that
Eastern Washington is in the business
of manufacturing doctored butter.
There is no objection to butterine and
oleo. as such, but every one selling it
should be forced to tell customers just
what they are buying. Those who
are selling alleged COW butter, gilt
edged stuff and other villainous COM
pounds as butter should be prosecuted.
Such stuff breeds disease. A good
plan would be to have the grand jury
indict them. Then have com.
missioner appointed, whose duty it
shall be to secure samples, test them
and arrest every one selling spurious
article as genuine butter-Trade

Butter or Butterine.

Thk. large amount or butterlne and
oleomargarine sold in Seattle is at
tracing considerable attention, es
pecially since the high price OF good
butter enables the various compounds
TO be put on the market at Il large
profit. A prominent attorney of this
city. who has given the question some
attention, said yesterday:
at is estimated that 80 per cent. OF
The compounds sold as butter in this
city are oleomargarine. If the cleo
margarine was first class article and
marked as the law provides, then some
of the objections to its sale would De
overcome. But these compounds
marked Fancy Creamery Fancy
Dairy Gilt Edge Choice Dairy ETC..
are sold as butter at twice their real
value. They bear no mark of being
'Oleomargarine' or 'Butterine,' as the
laws of this state provide. Sold in this
manner it is an imposition on the
public who are entitled to have healthy
food pr,ducts. 1t is also double inn
position on those who are in a legiti-
mate dairy business. First this
'Oleomargarine, with its compounds
is ii production shipped III from the
east. and the manufacturers pay nc
taxes, and spend their profits outside
of our stale, and it is no fair competi'
ton with home products. Second, by
evading and holding in contempt our
laws as tC marking each package
they are able to sell 'Oleo' rs pure
butter at lower rate than the dairy
men or farmers, and at the same time
make five times the profit. The state
OF Washington offers the greatest in
ducements to dairymen. Cows can be
pastured the whole year on the rich
grasses. The water is pure and ice
cold from the mountain springs
During the last year a number OF
enterprising dairymen have started
creameries and are producing an ex.
cellent article Of butter. Are these
home institutions and our citizens tC
be protected and the laws enforced OF
shall we eat oleomargarine and the
villinous compounds sold as butter?
"Section 342, second volume OF
Hills Penal Code of Washington
makes a violation of the law on this
subject nlisdemeanor punishable by
fine of not less than $50 and not
more than 5000 and imprisonment
from one to three months. "-Seatile

Mckinley S Majority 1000.

One short year ago the people of
the country decided that a change !"
was what they wanted, and must
have. They got it. A year has rolled
by, and its events have brought the
masses to their calm senses. The state
elections show a vast revulsion of feel
ing. The following states held cleo
tons Tuesday: 'Iowa, Kentucky,
Maryland, Massachusetts,, Missouri.
Nebraska, New York, New Jersey,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wiscon-
sin, South Dakota, Kansas. Color ado
and Utah,-and everything is republi-
Can with a vengeance.
10 New York the entire republican
state ticket is elected by plurality ex-
ceedipg 10000, and nearly all the
cities formerly largely democratic,
have given large republican majorities.
Brooklyn elects republican city officers
and legislature.
In Ohio McKinley's plurality over
Larry Neal for Governor is 81 900 and
the legislature is overwhelmingly re-
publican.
Iowa has gone republican with an
old time majority, Legislature and all.
Frank d. jackson is elected governor
by $4,000.
Massachusetts elects republican
by 10000.
Nebraska and South Dakota, have
also gone over to the republicans and
the populists are reported gone to
pieces in the latter state.
PENNSYLVANIA, strong republican
state, shows largely increased MAORI
ties everywhere.
Kansas shows large republican gains
despite the populists, but in Nebraska
the vote is very close, and yet in doubt.
The democratic ticket gained majo-
rites in Maryland. Virginia and Ken.
tuckey, but the majorities are very
feeble, compared to the overwhelming
figures of past years in these strong
states. The populists are reducing the
democratic gains in these and other
southern states.
New jersey proved big surprise
as the republicans have strong majo
rity in both branches of legislature
1Or Sile nrSt time In years.
IL Colorado, politics is rather mixed
as there are eleven tickets in the field
In some counties.
Cleveland hears the awful news and
suffers accordingly.
Now what does this mean-this
majority $1,000 for Governor Nc
Kinley-the largest majority ever
given in the state. 1t is IA warning to
the democratic thinkers not to monkey
with the tariff, unless they want to be
destroyed root and branch. The
people of the country may now feel
easier-the democratic administration
thought all along Gf actions can
speak, that they didn't dare to touch
the tariff question and now they know
1.-THE tariff will remain just as it is
during this administration, and there
need be ho uncertainty on this point.
Now that the silver aud tariff
questions are disposed Of, the county
ought to soon recover from its de-
preston.

UNCLE SAM is the creditor OF the
Union Pacific system to tie extent of
25000000, some OF which comes due
in 1895, and all OF it before 1900
Congress has fooled with several
schemes for extending or otherwise
adjusting this debt, but has accomp-
lished nothing, principally because the
railroad management were not willing
to accept any plan which involved
paving the debt sometime. Something
will have to be done now; either the
time of payment must be extended,
the debt wiped out or scaled, or the
United States take possession of the
road to reimburse itself Ii is surpris-
ing that Pfeffer, Allen, Simpson or..some
other populist member of one house
or the other has not perceived this
opportunity for exploiting favorite
tenet OF their creed by introducing IA
bill to make the Union Pacific a state
owned railroad. Such a bill will come
and the alternative may lie between
passing it and losing the $25, O00, 000-
