The Process of Making CLEO.


Notwithstanding the protests of the olec
trust and its friends in Congress- the yari.
Gus formulas for making oleoma riga riue
have been made public. and they are al
least interesting.
One of the processes for making the kind
of butter that is sold in Pennsylvania as a
dairy product is thus described in the pat
ent Office records:
THE process consists in first forming A
soap emulsion of the fats or fatty oils with
caustic soda; then precipitate the lyes; then
applying chlorinated alkaline lye or chlorin-
ated gas to the soap emulsion"
That sounds like recipe for making soft
soap, but when the color is added the re-
suit is git-edge creamery butter for the
Pennsylvania market.
Here are a few Of the constituents of the
advanced product of the farm" Bisul-
phate of lime. borax. salicylc acid, BEN
Zoic acid. orris root. cottonseed oil, bicar-
Donate of soda, glycerine. capsylic acid
alum. capsic acid. sulphate of soda, cows
udder. su'phuric acid. pepsin. tallow, lard
salt corn starch. butyric ether, caustic
potash castor oil. chalk. slippery elm bark
caul, oil of sesame, oil of sunflower seed
olive oil. turnip seed OIL broma chioralum
chlorate of potash. oil of sweet almonds
oil of peanuts, peroxide of manganese
stomach of pigs. sheep calf, nitrate OF
soda, mustard seed OIL nitric acid dry
blood alhumen, sugar butyric acid bicar-
bonate of potash and caustic soda. One
cent a pound is very modest rate of pro-
lection for such formidable array of min
eral and organic poisons and denominations.

Tho battle between Roberts and Botha
just east of Pretoria. unfinished when the
British commander sent his report. ended in
the accomplishment of tho British object
namely. the forcing back of the Beers in
arms. who were so close to the capital as
to prevent effective reorganization there
Roberts now reports Botha to be estab-
lshed a little further eastward, still in a
strong position He does not indicate that
he proposes TO continue TO press the Beers
back and here is no means of calculating
as to his plans. Roberts believes in rest
ing his army after one achievement TO pre-
pare for another. But he has also shown
a capacity to strike the enemy at the right
time He may now be ready to force
Rotha eastward or he may hold back either
for further recuperation or to give Butler
a chance to cooperate in an advance. The
days dispatches show Butler to be con-
tiEuously successful in clearing out the
passes from Natal into the Orange State
and the Transvaal. and there are SUCCESS
tons that he has already extended his hne.,
sufficiently to get In touch with Roberts.

Historians and anthropologists find il diff
Gcult to trace with assurance the begin
pings of mans use of the flag. 1t has al
ways been associated in known records with
the war spirit. and doubtless some form Of
fought first In ranks. For the flag is a
eyrnbol of association. not of Individual eff
fort and its identity with the fighting of
men In bodies is accepted as established
even in the absence OF proof. The Saracens
used pennants to denote their tribal allie
giance. and in another civilization the Ash
etics. notably the Chinese. have ALWAYS as
Tar as research shows. displayed banners
for symbolic purposes. Thus the flag to-
day has lost none of its essential meaning
that of alliance or organization although
of its symbolism to .he ends of peace
. The American 9ag is peculiarly sisnifcan,
of the thought of union. through the num-
Der of its stars ard stripes. The flags of
other nations chiefly appeal through herald
r. in their suggestions Of alliance thus in
most cases reaching direct to individual be-
eirnings. inasmIch Us most of the heraldic
devices now elevated to royal use have
Strung from the personal bearings of an
cestors. There Is no such thought in the
emblem of the American republic No one
mans identity can ever be traced from its
conventional devices. Yet It's meaning and
its sentimental appeal are doubtless as
strong as In the case Of any national ban
ner That ever futtered over battlefield or
sea or plain OF peace. And that is why

Renfii rming the Chicago Platform.

The Ohio democrats in state convention
yesterday nominated candidates for sew
eral state offices. selected delegates for
Kansas City, and adopted a platform of
principles. The first plank of that plat
form rcaffirrns the Chicago platform. and
the last declares for the denomination of
MIR. Bryan for President Is it of any
graf consequence what is written between
those two planks? Is not the fact vastly
suggestive that what is written between
them is the stereotyped denunciati& Sf
trusts and Imperialism. which serves but
TO set of by comparison in stronger light
than ever the specific and aggressive issues
Of four years ago? May it not with truth

general plan may possibly - to catch
Botha between his own army and that of
Butler. In order to do this the latter force
must move northward from the Natal
passes across country. away from the Dur
ban-Johannesburg railway, toward the Pre-
tCria-Delagoa Bay line, which now consti-
tutes the Beers avenue Of escape to Lyden-
burg. Such march would be toilsome and
dangerous. Evidently Roberts will eventu-
ally seek to crush Botha's army, and this
will be difficult. even with rapid thanking
movements, as long as Botha continues to
retreat before attacking advances. Ma
ncuvering may doubtless be expected. de-

body of the Beers in position from which

1t is reported that Augustus Van Wyck.
who named as a delegate-at-large to
| the Kansas City convention by the democ-
racy of New York, has decided to give way
| for his alternate on account of the Ice
| Trust disclosures. This is taking matters
, far too seriously and shows that Judge Van
Wyck is not much of politician. There
will of course be a loud outcry against
trusts at Kansas City. and both the
speeches and the platform will ring with
the topic. But there will be a Pickwickian
flavor to ii all. which. to the initiated. will
rob the delverances of any real offense.
Judge Var Wyck should brace up. If he is
no stouter of heart than to retire under the
first fire he cannot hope to make an i'm
preston as a leader his party at home.
Has Mr. Cookers career taught him no
lesson?
And this suggests the question. What eff
feet on the vote in New York this year may
these Ice Trust disclosures be expected to
have? Will not the rank and file of Tam
many Hall vote the ticket regard ess Of
| them? Has not Mr. Croker at other times
demonstrated power enough to make this
practically certainty? Sixty cents for ice
which ought to be delivered at thirty cents,
and could be with fair profit. strikes the
poor very heavily: but Mr.. Cookers princi-
pal following is among the poor. and, as
a rule his word among them is law.
In wel,-to-do circles in New York poll
tics are worn, to speak. loosely and
rather scientifically. The cOrruptions of
Tammany Hall are taken for granted. They
are sometimes punished. They are some
times utilized and rewarded. In the cam
paign of lS.'2 the friends of Mr.. Cleveland
worked hand-in-glove with Tammany, the
arrangement being that for its support of
Mr. Cleveland fer President Tammany
should have the city offices. Tammany was
never more corrupt than at that time; and
helped thus to power by the Clevelandtes.
| it rioted in its opportunity and brought on
| the Lexow investigation.
The hope of New York. 50 far AS the re-
publicans are concerned. is not in these Ice
| Trust disclosures, but in the sound money
platform which will be written next week
| at Philadelphia. In any other state such
| disclosures would. of themselves. put an
end tn the leaders besmirched by them. but
| not necessarily so in New York.

in the hands of board of four democrats
appointed by Governor Stephens. The sher-
IFS posse is under the command of the
board. These facts are not understood by
the newspapers that wonder why the mum
icipal officials do not act. The reason is
that the law passed by the legislature last
year vests the whole police power In St.
