most important of the oleomargarine cases

grocer, who was charged with selling
butterine colored to initiate butter, in vio-
lation of the law passed by the Legisla-
ture last winter. The defense maintain
ed that the law was not specific, as 1t
did not prescribe the shade of yellow that

Stamping out coppers.

There are 7SO,0OO,O0O one cent pieces

has been 10000 pieces. The government
apparently derives profit of $1,000 day
on this coinage. the seigniorage being at
the rate of nearly so per cent. of the face
value of the coins. This profit disap-
pears, of course, when the coins are re-
deemed. Since August last there has
been an exceedingly heavy demand for
one cent pieces. Treasury officials at

Thomas Lincolns second wife sleeps
by his side, and she, too, deserves more
than passing notice in the pages Of his
tory. Abraham Lincoln loved her as
a mother. and it is said that he owed
much of his straight character and no
bleness of soul to her training. When
he was elected President, and before
going to Washington, he visited his
fathers grave and the lowly home that
had sheltered him for so many years.

tiers on the floor of tn. Uou.. wpr,
overwhelmed in interest to-day by the
initiation of a brisk movement To Sc
cure majority of the Democratic
membership in favor of a financial pol
leo, having the free coinage Of silver in
its keynote. For some time there has
been discussion carried on by the
free silver leaders of the party
over the practicability OF a
plan to unite their forces, and
20 crystalize their ideas into some sort
of platform or declaration. The net
result has been the draft Of a declara-
ton addressed ''to the Democrats Of the
United States" and outlining a finan
cial policy for the Democratic party.
This paper has been circulated on the
Democratic side of the House. and is be-
ing vigorously discussed with the OBJ
ject of obtaining the concensus of opin-
ion of silver Democrats upon its ex-
pressiOns.
The chief instigators Of the move
ment are:
Messrs. Bland. of Missouri: Bryan,
of Nebraska; Sibley, of Pennsylvania
and Cotfeen, of Wyoming. Their pa
per is at presen but a tentative express
sion, they say, and not yet in form for
publication, since none OF its details
has been definitely agreed upon. In
substance, it states the financial policy
of the party to be for the free coinage
of gold and silver on terms of equality
at the ratio of 10 to i: for
the issue Of all paper money
by the government without the
Intervention of banks, and opposition
to any issue of Understanding bond.
without the authority of a special act
