FOR PURE FOOD.

The oleomargarlne bill passed by the
House Of representatives. aims at the
suppression Of the sale OF that article
under false colors. 1t imposes a tax Of
10 cents pound upon oleomargarine
when colored in imitation Of butter.
When not thus colored, the tax to be
paid Is but one-fourth Of a cent a
pound.
In several states the laws prohibit the
manufacture and sale of colored oeo-
margarine end kindred products, but
It seems that the laws have been lnef-
fectlye as long as such products were
legitimate articles Of interstate COM
merce. The bin sets aside this obstacle
to action by the individual states, and
places the substitute for butter under
state control
There Is, Of course, no reason why
oleomargarlne as such should be tho
object Of special legislation. If Il is
pure Il Is In every respect less objec-
tionabIe than much Of the butter that
finds It's way TO the market But It Is
proper that the fraudulent practice Of
coloHng and selling II as butter should
receive legislative attention. II that
practice can be stopped by the impc
sltlop OF a tax. that tax Is just. II,
however, the article IS made and sold
Just for what II "a, there IS no reason
for special taxation, II people prefer
oleomargarine on account Of Its cheap
er price. or for any reason they should
not be made 10 pay an extra quarter OF
a cent to the government for the priv
llege Of eating the cheaper article, The
point is to protect the public against
fraud And We presume such protec-
ton can be had. only by making It q
criminal offense to sell limitations under
false names
But laws against food adulleratlor
should take much wider range than
the dairy products. Il was shown d
few years ago at a pure food congress
In washington that our annual food
bin amounts TO in the neighborhooI
Of Ave billion dollars, and that about
two per cent OF this Is paid Tor worth

That is to say the American

MORE WATER LITIGATION.


y 1t is TO be hoped that the city au-
thorItes viii act upon the official adj
vice Of CITY Attorney Nye, and take
immediate steps In reference to the
rights Of the city to the use and control
Of the waters in the Jordan river held
by the city for many years, and which
have to some extent been invaded by
the Electrical Power Company. II is
most important that the water shall be
taken out at a higher level than at
present, so tina the exchanges that
have been contti nplated for the benefit
OF the city may be effected In good
time. There ought to be no delay In
commencing this work and It should be
pushed to completion as rapidly as pos
slble
II Is evident from the recommends
tlon Of the City Attorney, and also
from the petition and complaint
which will soon be filed In court,
that the notion entertained by some
people that the city has not been
Injured or Its rights jeopardlzed, by
the decisions that have been rendered
In favor Of the Electrical Power COM
pany is not endorsed by the city au-
thorities nor by the attorneys engaged
In defending those rights.
In considering the whole matter It
should be clear to those who ingestl-
gate It, that there Is great difference
between taking water for mechanical
purposes out Of a stream or natural
source OF supply, and returning II 10

and quality and taking water from a

poses and returning II into that canal

REAL FRENCH WOMEN,

A writer In the London Chronicle
quoted by Public opinion, endeayors 70
give his readers more correct opinion
of the French women, than that which
generally prevails. He deulea that
they, as a rule, are frivolous. empty
headed and immoral. on the contrary
he says, they are very practical and
active He concludes his argument as
follows:
1.-THE desire 20 please which Madame
de Glrardin one OF the most brilliant
and witty OF French women, calls the
whole duty OF woman, has a vastly
wider meaning In the eyes of French
woman, aud Is not limited to the con-
quest Of eligible young men. II IS an
instinct that has been sedulously cult
waited, In place Of being repressed, as
Is so often the practice with worthy
and even noble English women, as a
moral duty-and the desire 20 please be-
coming a second nature, IL extended
not only TO husband, children, and
friends but also 10 the daughter In
law, the mother Flaw, the governess
who teaches the children, the dressmak-
er, the servant The humblest shop
girl shows the same instructive desire
to please instead Of yexlng and re-.
polling, and does not rest content with
one sex. And with all the defects Of
her convent training, which is not as
uniformly bad however as depicted
and the chief defect Of which Is the
too great domination exercised over her
conscience by the religious directors
the French woman has more lntelll-
gence, more mastery over her special
meter in the science OF life greater
variety Of knowledge than the average
well educated English woman"
