oLEoMARGARINE vs.. BUTTER

VIII oleomargarine eventually drive
butter out of the market? Congress
and the state legislatures have put
every obstacle in the way of the sale
of imitation butter and yet the pro-
duction increases. In order to re-
strict the sale tax was imposed in
1887. The tax brought 81, 543. 7S5
into the federal treasury last year,
which is large increase over the
previous year. The year after the
tax was imposed 81, ,513, 537 pounds
of oleomargarine were produced,
while last year 10Y, ,O45, OPS pounds
were made. This is a tremendous
increase and might well alarm dairy
men.
In the light of these facts there is
only one thing for the dairyman to
do. AS the Rockford Star says, he
must make his butter so good and de
sirable that it will still find it's way
on the table.

SOME POSSIBLE INCONSISTENCIES.

1t is generally expected that Presi-
dent McKinley's message to the con-
gress soon to convene will ask for the
increase of the American army to a
permanent numerical strength of
100, 900 men, while at the same time
it is anticipated the executive will
announce that conditions in the Phil
ippines now warrant the termination
of American military control and the
establishment instead of civil gov
ernment.
There is not much promise of q
satisfactory or commendable civil
government in the Philippines if il
shall be necessary to retain in those
islands the bulk of the large army
for which the president may ask the
authority of congress. On the other
hand. if the Filipino insurrection is
quelled-of which there is no indica-
tion in Gen. MacArthur's official re-
ports-then we no longer need big
army. Certainly there do not exist
in this country the conditions calling
Rock Island Argus., 1900-11-28

for such a force, and with the salts
factory settlement of the Cuban ques-
ton with a due regard for American
honor, we have no cause to anticipate
trouble from that direction.
The outline of the presidents forth
coming message, as now sent from
Washington, is anything but reassur-
ing on these heads. A notification of
tranquility in the Philippines. accom-
panied by strenuous call for big
army, will strike the American people
as being trifie contradictory. They
will hear in it only voice ''crying
Peace, Peace. when there is no

AN IRRESISTIBLE IMPULSE.

The placsrds displayed in Paris in
connection with the visit of the South
African republic president, Paul Kru-
ger, were written by somebody having
a comprehension of liberty. Here are
some of them:
Welcome him in the name OF that liberty
which you all have at heart. Give him a most
positive testimony of our profound admiration
for and ardent sympathy with the race OF he
roeS o! which he is magnificent incarnation. =
Paris should say to Nr. Kruger that she is
| entirely with him in his sacred mission Paris
should warm again by its flame an old man
overcome with mourning, who remains stead.
fast in defense of his country. Nothing. how
ever. should be done, nothing should be said
accomplish Cry OILY Long live Kruger,
Long 1--we the Beers. and Long live the South
African republics.
How, as the Joliet News says, that
makes the blood of Yankee tingle.
1t sounds like Bunker Hill, Israel Put
nam, Patrick Henry, Paul Jones and
| the Swamp Fox. And how anything
of that kind gives an apologiZer, a
comPriser, or candidate for office a
shiver? Even a candidate on a popu-
list ticket somehow feels that senti-
ment of this kind would disturb his
party. The governments and the
people are two different things so far
as civilized nations are concerned.
Governments have been improved but
have not been perfected in our vicin-
ity. A majority of the English,
aroused by the newspapers and a
slogan for patriotism, conquest and
civilization, may at this point favor
the subjugation of the African repub-
lies, but it was not so before their
government led them into the war. 1t
was not true here, either as to the
Beers or the Filipinos, until the adj
ministration made it a party ques-
tion, and it may not be true today if
an expression could be obtained
shorn of other issues.
Therefore, the presence of Kruge r
in Europe or America, possibly, seems
dangerous. Once awaken the true
spirit of liberty and it would make
great changes in party votes here.
and crowns would tremble elsewhere.
