recent purchasers already have
a controlling interest without
this stock.

The Trouble In Idaho aud Montana.

The New York Journal says Gen.
Merriam, in his attempt to crush the
labor unions Of Idaho. has collided with
the State authorities of Montana, as
well as with the public opin-
ion of the country. The State officials
Of Idaho have apparently cO.operated
with the General in his high handed
invasions Of personal rights, but since
he has been sending his soldiers across
the State line to make summary arrests
Of miners there the Governor Of Mon
tana has objected Gov. Smith declares
that these arrests must stop at once,
and that the laws Of the State must be
observed, even by soldiers.
Ii is well that somebody has been
found TO teach this audaciOus comman-
der lesson in the rights Of American
citizenship. His notification TO the
mine owners Of the Occur d Alene
region that their mines would be shut
down by military force if they ven
tured to employ any members of a labor
union seems to have been accepted, not
only with meekness, but with enthusi-
asm by the authorities of Idaho, but in
Montana it has met with indignant
repudi alton.

Butter Being Driven Out.

State Commissioner Of Agriculture
Koiner, in an interview with a Rich.
mond Dispatch reporter, says:
Virginia is really now the dumping
ground Of the whole country for oleo-
margarine and butterine. We have q
law which has no penalty. It ought 10
be put under the care and supervision
Of the Department Of Agriculture. Good
butter has been practically run out Of
the Virginia markets. Three-fourths
Of the butter sold in this city now is
adulterated with oleomargarine. This
constant adulteration Of butter has al
most driven the honest COW out Of the
State. and very nearly destroyed the
market here for the genuine product. "
