Taken at Duluth.
The state dairy and food department
yesterday seized 24,OOO pounds of oleo-
margarine at Duluth, shipped by Ar
mour Bros, of Chicago, to the firm
at that place. The compound did not
conform to the state law, which says
that it shall be colored pink, the en-
tire lot being colored yellow in imita-
tion of butter. The seizure is the Iarg-
est ever made by the department, be-
ing valued at $4,000.
Benjamin H. Baker, of the Duluth
firm, called at the capitol late yester-
day afternoon to consult Attorney
General Childs about the matter, but
he was not very clear as to what he
expected Mr.. Childs to do about it,
and so received very little information
that might be of service.

THE RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS

Chief of Police Glass has done excellent
work in policing the city as whole. and
his occasional mistakes are probably due
to an excess of zeal; but he does make
Neutrality-suspicious. ones, som metimes-in lis
overriding of the rights that pertain to
all men, innocent or guilty. He has
caused, on what he undoubtedly believed
to be good cause. the sequestration of men
in the city Jail without their being
arraigned in a court, their friends, rela-
tives and lawyer prevented from COM
municating with them, day after day, and
subjected them 10 terIorizing and abuse
put little better than the peine forte ct
dure OF the middle-age tribunal. While
conceding that the motives of the chief
were good and that by resorting to such
methods he has brought about the pun
ishment Of some guilty men, the convic-
tion of thousand criminals would not
atone for the injury done to one honest
man by illegally and unjustly deprivipg
him of his liberty and imposing on him
the disgrace Of imprisonment. More than
this. the great, broad principles of per-
sonal rights as outlined in our theory of
government should be guarded with the
utmost jealousy. ana should be rgidly.
observed by those whose duty it is to en-
force the law.
The chief is an honest Official. for he
has stood the fire OF thorough investiga-
tions and many attempts to DUST him
from office. and he has as rule been effi-
cient. and in the line of his duty he will
find himself backed by the power of the
best public opinion; but he cannot afford,
nor can the city tolerate. SO many bast-
less arrests and so frequent a violation of
the personal privileges of individuals.
The chief should realize more fully all
that is implied and conferred on man
who, whether he wears fustian or broad
cloth. has the high title of an American
citizen.

color. Sweet peas, La France roses, and
carnations were arranged in rich proius-
ion on book cases and stands. A bower
of pepper boughs and pink roses over
hung the punch table, while in an op-
poste corner was a perfect bank of La
France buds.
The card room was in yellow. An al
cove including one entire side OF this
room was formed of boughs, intermingled
with brilliant yellow flowers. Large jars of
calliopsis graced each corner. in one OF
which Was an ancient spinning wheel on

THAT PROCLAMATION
The Cincinnati Enquirer in recent is
sue SAYS editorial]y:

The Cincinnati Enquirer in recent is
sue says editorially:
There BIS limit to the obligation the
United States is under to Spain. Our
government Is bound to prevsnt the de-
parture with its knowledge, for Cuba, of
any military expedition in aid of the in
surgents. The knowledge OF any official
of the United States is equivalent to the
knowledge of the government in such
cases. Beyond this we owe nothing to
Spain. 1t is the earnest hearts desire of
every true lover of liberty IN America tnat
the Cuban revolution may succeed, and
that the people of that fair island may
enjoy the privilege of self-government.
Our govern nment is doing very much more
s4An its duty toward Spain. We do not
understand that our navy is to be at the
disposal of that government to patrol
Cuban waters or enforce Spanish authori-
ty in C.ba. LII short, the United States
is not under contract to suppress the
Cuban revolution. The president and
Secretaries Olney, Carlisle and Herbert
might as well play the role Of Spanish
policemen in Havana as to volunteer, as
they have done, to play the part of
sleuth-hounds in pursuit of every Cuban
sympathizer In the United States shad-
owing them to see if they speak together
in behalf of their bleeding county. 1t is
an exhibition of superservicea bleness
which cannot fail to bring us into con-
tempt in the eyes of the world. If Great
Britain had been in the place of this ma
ton she would have picked a quarrel with
Spain years ago, ana refused to have
peace restored unless Cuba was ceded to
her.
Now the occasion OF all this was Presi-
dent Cleveland proclamation forbidding
American citizens to enter into any fill
clustering expeditions against Spain or in
behalf of the Cuban insurgents. Presi-
dent Cleveland only did what his duties
10 president of the American people de-
manded of him. In that much talked of
and greatly miscoNstiued proclamation
there is nothing which the Cubans object
to; then why should SO many papers
throughout the country construe il to
mean that our navy is at the disposal OF
