Court of the United States, by Justice
Peckham, who stated that it was re-
pugnant to the Constitution and if

lie also hopelessly falls down on his
assertion that it takes higher degree
of temperature to melt oleomargarine
than the genuine article, because it WAS
abundantly proven before the last Con-
gress, that butterine melted at even a
less temperature than butter, although
both products vary several degrees, ac-
cording to the manufacture, and no
doubt the breed of cattle and the va
rious conditions surrounding the gener-
al composition OF the article have a
hearing.
The Liver" seems to make sweep
ing charge on all buffers, and that
leads us to inquire what he is doing
for any butter at all, as he has de-
nounced each and every brand, and
winds up by wanting the farmers en-
couraged to make good butter, in
which he even denounces the farmer,
or intimates that he is making bad
butter
The writer is wholly disinterested, as
far as the manufacture Of any and I'll

zen OF Wheeling, takes exception 10

sold in this city. The fact of the mat

coming, and not finding foot ball he
chose the subject of butter, and it is
very apparent from his article that ne
missed with his kick entirely aid no
doubt has a strain coming to HIM
self as his reward. The fact Of the
matter is that Wheeling has as fine a
lot of butter, and perhaps better, than
a great many other cities, and if a per-
son uses just little cautiol and care
they can get anything rom butterine

beyond any question Of a doubt that
