PURE BUFFERS VICTORY

The dairymen of the state win be graft
fled on learning the opinion OF Judge
H,rmes In the recent oleomargarine case.
The faith that the dairy industry Is to be-
come one of the most successful and i'm
portant in the state. and Its recent very
rapid growth and development. has re-
suited In systematic efforts being made to
foster and protect IL. With the Idea Of
encouraging II. the oleomargarine law was
passed. There Is. perhaps. no objection to
the sale OF oieomargarine. but there Is a
very decided objection 20 that compound

case In this city no attempt was made to
deny that oleomargarine was sold Tho
question to DC determined was as to
whether the law was violated when ingre-
dents were used In making the oleomar-
sarino which gave II the appearance of
yellow butter. Judge Humes held that Il
was the law. in his opinion, forbdding the
sale OF oicomargarine II II contains either
coloration or ingredient that makes II
look like butter. The result of the trial
win prove very satisfactory to those dairy

The main objection to voting machines,
according to the examining board appoint
ed by the Massachusetts legislature, is
that they do not provide convenient means
for voting for persons whose names are
not upon the official list OF candidates.
This leads the Boston Globe to
remark that as such persons are
never elected. however. 1t would
seem that no great Injustice would be done

THE NICARAGUA Canal.

Unless some action is taken by congress
within the next year or two. the American
projectors Of the Nicaragua canal will
probably forfeit all their rights and the re-
suits Of an expenditure OF between 3, 100 GO
and ys.So.oco. It would be a great disap-
pointment 20 the people Of the Pacific
coast II congress should refuse aid. as 1t
seems impossible to secure funds any other
way. The disastrous end of the Panama
canal scheme has made European investors
timid and the uncertainty of the future of
the Nicaragua canal as to ownership. un-
less the United States government took UP
the matter would make the American In
vestors sly.
1t is proposed By the bin introduced by
Representative Mahan to have the company
surrender to the United States government
$40. ooaeoo OF its stock: 100000 to Near
aqua and s.. 90, 600 10 Costa Rica The COM
paiy y TO receive 5000. coo in stock for its
outlay. The United States Is TO guarantee
the payment of oo.Wo,oo bonds at per
cent. The canal is to be built by three en-
gineers OF the United States army.
The uncertainty as TO the cost Of the
work is one of the chief obstacles to
ready passage OF the bill. The board of
engineers which recently made It's report
to congress estimated il at sis3. o0o. 600,
which is ssi.0oo.oo0 over the estimates of
the company. 1t is true that the house
committee regards the estimate as too
high. but they can have no basis of cal
culation except that afforded by the COM
pany or It's engineers. 1t would be neces.
sary to raise s33,0eoo 900 over the govern
ment guaranty, upon which no interest
could be obtained until 50, 90. 900 year had
been earned.
The promoters are very sanguine that
this amount will be earned. and far more.
They estimate that by the time the canal
Is completed, 1903. its traffic will be In 1905
about 100000 tons. which. at toll of ST. rs
per ton (which is about the present Suez
rate) would. after deducting % per cent
for expenses, pay net profit of per
cent. per annum on s262. 500 ,00o
Upon the probable cost and the probable
returns the whole question turns. so far
as investors are concerned. Behind these,
however. congress may nationally go and
inquire whether 1t is not wise to take the
risk. in view Of the naval advantages and
OF the great development of the commerce
of this country which would inevitably
follow.
