Abstract Of the Important
Proceedings.

In the Senate on Tuesday, Jan. 81, the
usual daily program was gone through
with. There is speech against e1pan-
sion, delivered Immediately after the
routine business. The speeches have
been reduced i'm length SO as to allow
sufficient time at their conclusion Tor the
ants to bring forward resolution for the
purpose of securing a vote on ii. In order
to defeat this, one of the Senators In faYor
of the treaty takes the floor and occupies
it until o'clock.
In open session this day Mr.. Berry, OF
Arkansas, gave his reasons for opposing
the treaty in a speech lasting half an
hour. He was opposed to the large stand
ing Army, which, he declared. would be
necessary to hold the Philippines. He
criticized what he termed the plea of
destiny" and said many wrongs had
been committed under that excuse. lie
said it was against the principles for
which the Southern COnfederacy fought
and for which StOnewaH jackson died.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Berry'S re-
marks, Mr.. Bacon called up his resolu-
tons declaring that it was not the policy
of this Government to permanently hold
the Philippine Islands.
The pending motion on this resolution
was to commit il to the Committee on
Foreign latiOns, and Mr.. Bacon called
for the yeas and nays on the motion. Mr.
Carter made the point of no quorum. After
the roll had been called Mr.. Platt, of
Connecticut, took the floor in opposition
to the resolutions.

North Owosso Farmers Club.

The North Owosso Farmers Club
met April 2Sth, with Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Willoughby.
Some of the questions for discussion
were carried over on account of the
absence of the members to whom they
were assigned.
Good Butter and How to Make 1t, Z"
brought out general discussion. Abb
solute cleanliness from start to finish
including feeding, watering, and care
of COWS is very essential, and the cream
must not be kept too long before churn-
ing. Good butter cannot be made by
buying up foul, rancid, fy-blown butter,
melting it up, packing in barrels and
keping in cold storage until winter, then
mixing with sweet milk and churning,
even if it is sold under the euphoneous
brand, process Butter"
Farmers should take a more active
part in politics.
The maple syrup that Mrs. Will
loughby served to her guests was of
such delicious flavor that they decided
to name the Willoughby homestead
