THE INGREDIENTS OF OLEOMAR-
GARINE

GARTNE.
On May the house of representatives
adopted a resolution calling upon tho
secretary of the treasury to furnish in
formation regarding the materials used
in the manufacture of oieomargarlne. as
shown by the data III the possession Of
the commissioner of internal revenue.
About one week later Secretary Gage
placed before the speaker of the house
certain figures purportimg to show the
quantities and kinds oc ingredients used
in the production of ol2omargarinc in the
United States for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1889, and the percentage each in
gredient bears to the whole From th:s
statement it appears that oleomargari1e
is composed of 1927 per cent of neutral
lard" 26.82 per cent Of "oleo oil. IS. .46
per cent of milk. 7.42 per cent salt. 1.76
per cent Of butter oil. Al Pc cent of
cOttonseed oil. 3S3 per cett of cream. 70
per cent Of butter and less than l per
cent each of sesame, coI,rlnq matter su-
gar, glycerire. stear:ne AMI glucose.
1t is very gratifying, no doubt, for peo-
pie who devour oleomargarine to know
just what they are eating, but if the
statement made by Secretary Gage was
intended to inform them fully 2f the
ingredients of oleoma. garjne 1t fails Of
its purpose. The average citizen does not
not know what neutral lard and "oleo
OIL are made of or how they are manu-
factured and as these ;wo ingredients
compose 61.09 per cent of oleomargarine.
according to Secretary Gage, It is highly
important fer the purpose OF informa-
lion that Secretary Gage or some Other
person should disclose al. that is con-
cea'ed under the trade names Of neutral
lard and "oleo OIL"
The general Impression in the public
Mid Is that 'neutral lard" IS made from
the tankage OF the large packing -estab-
Eshments-from the scraps and refuse of
the great slaughter houses mixed in enc
hoITid mess. and the eat rendered or ex
pressed therefrorn under pressure or
feat or both, and t!lat this so called
lard is 'neutralized by heat.
AS to ''oleo OIL it may be that this
is meant to describe. olein, glyceride of
oleio acid, which is probably obtained
flom the off4i of the packing hot ses. bu.
"fether it IS so or not. the term "cleo
oh' is meaningless, except to the initt
aIed
The statement of Secretary Gage has
not strengthened puolic confidence in
oleemargarine as desirable article ,:
diet. Perhaps It was NOT meant to do
50 but In any case more light is desirable
on the composition aad method of OBJ,
tair'ng the constituents OF iag1edien1s OF
oleomargarine.

GOvEaNmENT BY INJUNcTroN.

Two cases Of far-reaching injunctions
issued by the courts in cases of indus-
trial disturbances have attracted consid-
cradle attention within the past few
weeks. and have aroused anew discus
sion concerning the use and abuse of the
provisional legal remedy known as the
injunction
In one of these cases a federal judge
in Kansas City during the prevalence of
the street car strike issued a restraining
order directed against the strikers and
their friends as comprehensive as any
thing of the kind of which there IS anv
record. 1t ordered among other things
that all persons whatever should be re-
strained from interfering in any way
with any employe engaged in moving a
CIR which may carry mail carrier or a
messenger, 'or upon which a mail car
rier or messenger may wish to ride
The entire purport of the order is of A
like character, going so far as to guard
against all possible interference with the
moving of the ears Of the corporation
applying for the order. 1t declares that
no enploye is to be harassed, no pick
citing or patrolling to be allowed, no
lettering about the tracks or making loud
or boisterous noises in the vicinity to
be tolerated
In the other. where the injunction was
issued by New York judge against
the cigarmal1ers' unions and the mem
bers of such bodies. who We're either en-
gagged in strike then in progress or
aiding or abetting those who were, the
injunction prohibited not only interfer-
ence of any kind, either through nicket-
ing or otherwise. with the non-union en-
ployes Of the cigar factories affected;
but it actually went so far as to restrain
the members of the cigarmakers' unions
from paying strike benefits to the men
who were on strike
These proceedings seem, on their face
at least, to represent an extraordinary
and wholly unwarranted Interference
with individual rights and a plain de-
sire on the part of the court to promota
the purposes and claims of the employ
ers, TO the disadvantage of the employees.
No court, either state or national. has as
yet been heard as issuing an order the
effect of which, either temporarily or
permanently, might be favorable to the
other party in such controversies. The
Kansas City Injunction mentioned above
in certain OF ita provisions was plainly

THE Hale AND spooNER nnnArn

THE HALE AND SPOONER DEBATE.
It was very Interesting discussion
which prevailed in the United States sen
ate on Wednesday between two Repub-
hcan senator's, Spooner, of Wisconsin. and
Hale. OF Maine It was interesting in
the additional evidence it furnished that
the financial and Industrial exploitation
which lies at the base Of the entire col
onial plan Will not be carried into effect
by the aid Of an undivided Repub,ic9n
party. 1t was made still more Interest
Ing by the certainty to which il gave
expression that the leading issue of the
forthcoming campaign will be the one
as to whether or not the American re-
public will go into the business of hold
ing foreign possessions and administering
them on lines which ignore the eternal
principles of human right on which the
free institutions of the land are supp os-
ed to be founded
There is no getting away from this great
issue. Wednesdays debate shows how
close 1t lies in the minds of the politicians
to the great question of the control cf
this government for the next four vars
The o e has frequently pointed out
the many directions in which it Is from
time to time made plain that it Is the
purpose of a certain clique of influ-
ential administration leaders to retain tne
island Of Cuba If they can Senator Hale
merely gave expression then to the en-
viction which has settled In the Popular
mind that the new foreign policy Is. pure
and simple. the outcome of the influence
of organized and speculative wealth on
the existing administration.
Such words as those CT Senator HaIe
are Invaluable in the present crisis. The
influence Of such Republicans as he and
the senior senator from Massachusetts
wiz be felt in spite of all the pow WELD
ed by the syndicates and combines which
have intrenched themselves behind sena-
tor Hanna, the real head OF the present
administration. And the presence of such
men in administrative STATEN in Cuba az
Gen. Wood and Gen. Brooke will day by
day make it all the more and more diff
cult for the speculative influence to fo-ce
the policy on the country through which
they hope TO secure their own further
enrichment Indeed, thus far Gen. Wood

lines appeared on the front pages of the
Republican papers, relating in the most
penny-dreadful style weird adventures
with dangerous desperadoes who were
said to have been shipped by the train

that the population Of Ohio was being
rapidly increased, but the men who were
corning into the state were not there -

and hundreds Of COlored men from the
southern states were sent into Ohio.
Hundreds and hundreds Of them were

Enquirer and some of the Democratic
papers In various parts of the state sug-

HELGIurs Less ON THE CONGO.

EELGIUMS LESS ON THE CONGO.
The expected has happened in regard
to the Congo Free State and Belgian
ownership and control Of that enticirg
district will. no doubt, terminate at no
distant day. The reports circulated in the
European press of disorders and out5 ages
on the Congo. and cunningly devised to
convey the impression that the Belgian
officials were unable to maintain or re-
store order, were. as the G lob some
time ago conjectured, merely the pre-
cursors of the seizure of some part of the
Belgian possess. ons on the Congo by some
strong and ambitious European power
Now comes the news that Germany has
forcibly seized all that part of the Congo
Free State territory UP the Russizi river
and north of Lake kivu, covering more
than 5000 square miles of Congo territory.
and Is holding it with 1.OO9 soldiers, fifteen
officers and cannon. The Belgians have
been compelled. under threat of war, to
withdraw from their stations in the dis
trict, and on their withdrawal their sta
tons were seized and burnt by the Ger
man forces.
Ard now there has been created a
boundary dispute and an inquiry is being
conducted by German and Belgian Of
fcials But it is safe to say that judg-
ment was secured by Germany in this dis
pute when 1t seized the territory and that
no argument viii bc strong enough to in
duce the Teuton to relax his hold of this
valuable district.
The change of ownership may be gooL
thing for the natives in the territory, for
Belgian rule was notorious for its il,-
capacity, rapacity and corruption Tie
Belgian theory OF commerce on the Congo
seems to have been based on the practical
enslavement of the natives, who were
made the victims CT all manner of ex>
tortion, and 1t is highly improbable that
their condition can or will be made worse
by the change of owners. 1t seems to
be the ultimate fate Of Africa to be par
celed out among few strong powers. and
small weak nation like the Belgians
will have no chance even to hold that
part Of the spoil it has already stolen
from the natives. in the scramble of the

went far toward wholly ignoring the
rights of the other side.
AS a general rule. where a given act
is criminal and the doing of 1t is for

ought to be punished. The issuance of

The Democratic party has made an is

public opinion found expression very
plainly in the resolutions adopted with
