The disturbances which took place on
Tuesday last in connection with the Coxey-
Brovne-Jones effort to violate the law are
now FAR enough to the rear to be looked at
without bias and discussed d;spassionately.
A great multitude gathered to witness what
very many OF the thousands in the crowd
believed would be a conflict between the
authorities and those who had announced
an intention TO disregard q statute by which
Congress had made plain its complete and
eminently proper control of the grounds
surrounding the nations legislative halls.
or those who took their chances of be-
coming mixed up In a riot. some represented
the toughest types of humanity and these
were ready to do anything that promised
disorder. Fortunately. however. they lacked
that important requisite, q leader. 50 the
threatened strife did not materialize. and
the worst that happened was the miscon-
duct for which three of the more notorious
Commonwealers are being tried, and The
rough handling of q few citizens-some of
whom deserved to be roughly handled,
while others who suffered. did not. For
their behavior on Tuesday morning last the
police have been unstintedly condemned by
some OF those excitable beings who real
lie the antagonism which continually ex-
lists between themselves and all persons
whose duty It IL to conserve the peace: no
distinction has been made between the ef
ncient majority of the police force and the
inefficient few. That the police force OF
this city az q whole did its duty well on
Tuesday last cannot be questioned by those
who were unimpassioned witnesses of the
occurrences that caused 30 much excite
nent. nor can II be denied that very few
Individual members OF the force misbehaved
themselves IN a manner that should be
promptly punished by the controlling au-
thorftiss. Again and again have those in
command OF the police department insisted
that an ofncer shall not use his club unless
an arrested man resists with considerable
force or an effort IL being made to rescue
q prfsoner. But because O. few blue coats
developed temporary unfitness for police
duty IN an exciting emergency. that is no
reason why there should be poured upon
ths heads OF the entire force a Niagara
OF abuse. Sensible people should not permit
themselves TO be misled by the anti-police
clamor OF law-breakers or of sympathizers
with those who have offended or would
offend.

DfscOuraging for the Shouters.

rOnl the Evening WIsconsin.
When Swift and Coxey and Kelly talk of
their respective armies" as the representa-
uves OF the people of the United States.
whose demands cannot be ignored by the
PRESIDENT and Congress, they are guilty of
the oversight OF failing to realize that the
government of the United States is run on
the principles of law and not like a bowling
mob, where the man who shouts loudest
gets the most attention. 1t is very i'm
portant oversight. This country has a con-
stitutton. 1t Is governed in the manner pro-
vided by that constitution; not in the man
ner dictated by crowds of ragamuffins in
the streets

With hauteur the like Of which the Amer
lean people always look for in the trans
atlantic end of social and commercial inter-
course, the German government has notified
mankind generally and this country specifi-
cally that the peanut as a food Is not a
success. The information can hardly be
regarded as startling, although to some 1t
may have in II material for trifling dissp-
pointment. Awhile ago 1t was announced
that German scientists had found in peanuts
nourishment upon which man and beast
could be satisfactorily and economically
subsisted. Experimental mills ground out
great quantities of peanut-f1our. and long
haired scientists wrote elaborate treatises
upon the utter uselessness of the peanut
when roasted and the incalculable good II
would do to the human and equine stomach
when boiled But although science could
prove conclusively that the peanut had
within its brown coat the combined qualities
of dozen commonly accepted foods 1t could
not convert the German appetite, so the
peanut has been discredited. The blow is
not, however. a severe one. A few dreamers
may have accumulated imaginative wealth
out of almost limitless goober-cultivation of
the prospective sort, bat these alone will
grieve. The balance of American mankind
and womankind will go right along chewing
earth's toothsome products at circuses and
baseball games and other great national
occasions. Yet the sneer of the supercilious
foreigner should not be smiled at. Only a
little while ago serious effort was made by
some of the Emperor Williams people to
sully the fair fame of the American hog, but
the dastardly conspiracy collapsed and the
starred and striped porker now has the
entree into the best Of Berlin society. WILL
lam Walter Phelps and jeremiah Rusk were
the men who championed the cause OF libeled
pork. Who will throw down the gauntlet
for the peanut?

Whatever the Senate may have thought
OF Mr.. Charles H. ]. Taylor before last
week IL Is reasonably certain that it thinks
less of him now. It has for some time
been evident that on the final test Mr.. Tay-
lor would not find q majority OF the mem
berS OF the upper house prepared to vote for
him. but the issue has been solely the prin-
ciple that Is involved in his selection from
the far state OF Kansas to fill this pecu-
narly local District office. Now, however, the
Senate IL beginning to get a side light ON
the personal character OF MIR. Taylor that
II very edifying, and which does not tend
In the least to increase his chances Of
finally drawing the pay Of the position to
which he has been nominated. Mr.. Taylor
has been making an exhibition OF himself.
It Il not the part either of prudent or a
self-respecting man to act as did Mr.. Tay-
lor on Saturday, when he made a formal
demand upon the authorities of the Interior
Department for his commission as recorder
Of deeds Of the District because the Con-
gressional Record had enormously an
nounced his confirmation. Mr.. Taylor's ar
gument that this constitutes an official noti-
fcation TO the President of the advice and
consent of the Senate Is so utterly futile
80 puerile, 80 idiotic-that 1t Is scarcely to
be believed that this able citizen of Kansas
who was thought competent to fill the hon.
oeable and difficult post of minister to b.
hvta, and the lucrative position of recorder
OF deeds Of Of the District. actually made 1t.
But the facts are against Mr.. Taylor. His
plea u ingenious In that 1t is altogether
novel. for who ever heard that the execu-
tive business Of the government was trans
ooesd In the slip-shod, slovenly manner that
any one unacquainted with the case and
reading Mr.. Taylor's proposition would be
led to believe? The effort to bunco the
government out Of a recordership commits
sion II not likely to receive the approval
and support OF anybody but the designer
and beneficiary OF the scheme.

 What Scientists say:
 Prof. Arnold of the University of New York: 1T consider that each and every ingredient of oleomargarine but ter or butterine is perfectly pure and wholesome, that the oleomargarine butter differs in no essential manner from the butter made from cream. It is great discovery, a blessing for the poor, in every way perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article.
 Silver Churn Butterine is prepared especially for fine table use. Every de- tail of it's manufacture is perfect. Re- cent chemical experiments show that in nutritive and digestive properties Silver Churn Butterine is fully equal to the best creamery butter; while in keeping quality Silver Churn Butterine is much superior.
