TWO REPORTS ON THE
OLEOMARGARINE BILL.
Majority Says People Have Cause for
Alarm at Tremendous Growth
of Illegal Traffic.

Washington. June 1.-The report on
the Grout oleomargarine bill. which has
been source of lively contention. was
filed yesterday by a majority OF the
House committee on agriculture. The
minority filed an adverse report. Rep.
Henry OF Connecticut drew the majori-
ty report. 1t says In part:
I'VE are of the opinion that the peo-
pie have ample cause for alarm at the
tremendous illegal growth of the oleo-
margarine traffic In this country dur
ing the past few years. which now ap-
pears to have reached proportions be-
yond the power OF the states TO sue
cessfully regulate or control. and the
present federal lawsFare apparently al
together inadequate for the emergency.
THE tax OF 10 cents per pound upon
pleomargarine colored to resemble but
ter will not deprive the manufacturers
and dealers or consumers OF any great
amount OF legal right they now possess.
I'VE believe the manufacture and sale
OF oleomargarine will continue under
this measure and those who desire a
cheap substitute for butter Will pur-
chase the uncolored article. The only
difference is that the counterfeit arti-

is therefore entitled to a legitimate
place in the commerce OF the country
In substantiation of the statement the
testimony of Prof. Chandler Of Column
bia college and Prof. Barker OF the uni
versity OF Pennsylvania, and others Is
cited. The only just complaint, the mi
nority state, Is as to the facility with
which retail dealers can violate the
present law by substituting unmarked
packages for those taken from the
original or wholesale packages. But the
Grout bill. IL is contended, does not de-
crease the temptations or Increase the
difficulties OF such violations. On the
contrary, the increased taxation would
either be fraudulently evaded or else
would force the honest manufactures
out OF business. In fact, the report
states, the radical advocates OF the bill
admit that their intention Is TO abso-
lutely crush out the manufacture of
oleomargarine and eliminate IL as a
food product.
"In conclusion the report says. the
members OF the committee on agricul-
ture who have joined I'm the minority

country In the most solemn manner

intention and is now their determine

and not TO stamp out an industry has

that II ought TO be the sole purpose OF
all legislation and the sole motive OF
all Just men,"
The minority also submits substi-
tute bill providing additional safe
guards against oleomargarine.

THE WILD WEST.
Buffalo Bnl's Big Show to
Exhibit In This City on
Monday Next.

In past years Buffalo Bills Wild
West and Congress OF Rough Riders
has proven the most popular outdoor
entertainment given to the public. and
this popularity was deserved because
Messrs. Cody and Salisbury, have al
ways presented their entertainment in
the most fauftless manner and with
the most artistic intentions consistent
with the autually and genuineness OF
the people engaged in their company.
The real character OF the people has
had much 10 do with retaining the high
position I'm public estimation held by
the Wild West. Each year has seen
something new or novel, either In an
addition OF the representatives OF
another race or by some special feature
OF action added TO their program! and
this season is no exception to the rule
established by these enterprising man
ayers. This season they have gone be-
yond any OF their former attempts and
have added the most realistic battle
scene ever presented to any public;
they have selected as a subject that
history making charge up San Juan
Hill, the most timely and thrilling pos
sible selection they. could have made.

Iishraen Do Not Enthuse Over His
RenOulina ton.

EngIishr.,en Do Not Enthuse Over His
Renor,aIia ton.
London June % Copyright, 1900, by
the New York Tribune.)-H there be
any doubt in the United States respect
ing English opinion of Mckinley and
Republican politics, it may be dispelled
by the reticence OF the London and
provincial press respecting the work
of the Philadelphia convention There
are few comments on it, and such as
there are have a perfunctory sound
These are not euIogies of Mckinley,
and the Republican party is not en-
barrassed by English patronage or
fattery. The party platform is des-
cribed as moderate and the nomina-
lions as good as the circumstances
permitted. The nearest approach to
complaint is the Spectators remark
that Mckinley is possibly too much OF
politician, but that he has won and
receives International respect.
The English press is preoccupied
with affairs in South Africa and
China, and has no space in reserve for
a trivial incident in Ang1o-Saxon his
tory, such the election of a presi-
dent by a nation of eighty millions
Moreover, there are no illusions here
respecting either President Mckinley
or the Republican party. Both are
known to be downright American and
not in any sense English. President
Mckinley is not suspected of having
ever made an apology for introducing
the tariff bill which bore his name,
and the party which renominated him,
far from repudiating protectionism,
has reaffirmed it and added to it Subsi-
dies for American shipping.
Nobody in England ever speaks of
Mckinley as anything but an uncom-
promising champion of American ideas
and policies. Hence his denomination
is received here without enthusiasm
and with quiet reserve, possibly not
the best choice, but one which divides
the Republican party least.
