An Aaron Burr Revival.

Is the world to revise it's opinion of
| Aaron Burr? Certain it is that it is
| being asked to, and the request is be-
| ing reinforced by a systematic attempt
to viniicate the memory of that emil
| nent American whom all histories
speak of as traitor" and assassin"
Every school boy has been taught that
Burr virtually murdered Alexander
Hamilton under the disguise of a duel,
that he plotted treason in trying to
found a Mexican empire, that he was d
profigate, and wholly untrustworthy
in all political and business relations.
Thus generations have come to regard
him. Is the portrait false and dis
torted? Was he the victim of a politi-
cal bitterness which was much more
intense than can now be realized? Is
the verdict of unrelicved censure which
his contemporaries passed upon his
career all wrong?
One of the most successful novels of
the year has been "Blernerhasset" by
Charles FELTON, Pidgin. whose avowed
object was to wipe the stain from the
name of Burr. And now there has
been found in New York the Aaron
Burr Legion with the same object in
view. The organization purposes to
prepare and print Il photography of all
the works relating to Burr, to secure
the publication of books and pamphlets
magazines which will tend to remove
the obloquy from Burr's name, to take
legal steps to cxpunge from school
readers and textbooks portions of
William Wirt's speech delivered at the
trial of Burr in Richmond, to expunge
from histories such references to Burr
| as murderer traitor and assassin"
| to raise fund for monument to Burr
to be erected in Newark, N. j., his
birthplace. or in New York city, and to
popularizc the movement by the use of
a particular tinte d stationery carrying
Burr's picture. Any person. it is
stated, of either sc X over ten years of
age can become Il member of the legion
and aid in carrying out it's ambitious
program.
The general public is entirely I'M
prejudiced in the matter and will well
come any facts which will show that
Burr was not as his contemporaries
and the histories have pictured him.
| The movement will, at least find re-
spectful audience even if it convinces
| nobody. Burr was condemned by his
| contemporaries as few men have ever
| been condemned, and almost century
has passed without any facts being dis
closed which would give reason for re-
serving their verdict. Unless this
| Aaron Burr movement has something
more substantial than sentiment in it,
it's course will be brief and inglorious

The Oleomargarine Bill.

The oleomargerinc bill which has
passed the national House and is now
pending in the Senate is nothing new III
this line of legislation. 1t is really an
attempt to improve and make more eff
fective the law passed in 1856 imposing
a special tax of two cents per pound on
oleomargarine and prescribing that 1t
shall he marked so that its real charac-
ter shall be plain. The taxes are paid
because they cannot be evaded, but the
marking is not so plain. The new law
proposes that the oleomargarine, even
in the original package, shall be sub
jected to the laws of the state into
which it is shipped. 1t imposes tax
of 10 cents a pound on oleomargarine
when it is colored so as to pass for
butter, while it places a tax of only
quarter of a cent a pound on oleomar-
garine uncolorcd and passing for just
what it is 1t is simply a bill to pro-
mote honesty.
If anyone wants oleomargarine he
should be allowed to buy and use it. for,
when properly made, it is wholesome
and nutritious product. But those who
want and pay for genuine butter should
be protected against a less desirable
and cheaper substitute. In its field,
oleomargarine is all right and it ought
not to have to masquerade to find
market. 1t should stand on it's own
merits. Thirty-two states have passed
laws against it. to protect the dairymen
and farmers and also the consumers
who like to know whether they are get
ting genuine butter or a substitute.
The opposition to the national bill
comes from the cotton states since cot
tonseed oil is used to considerable ex-
tent in the cheaper grades of oleomar-
garine and from the live stock interests
which fear a reduced demand for suet
and lard.

One of the crew of the fishing
schooner Albert w. Black, which is
discharging a trip of fish at Custom
House wharf in Portland, is telling 4
fish story which is a good one. 1t is
absolutely true too and the proof of it
is in A. J. divers lobster shop in that
city. The crew of the Black were out
i'm dories about ten miles off MatinicuS
one day the first of the week. One OF
the fishermen was alone in his dOry
busily engaged in pulling his travis.
What was his great surprise to find on
one of the hooks a big cod with
mammoth lobster attached to it's tail.
The fisherman's theory is that the lob
ster saw the fish moving toward the
surface and being very hungry seized
it by the tail. A Holsters perversen-
ness is well known, and after it once
shuts it's claws on it's prey it doesn't
let go for any ordinary reason, so it
was easily drawn to the surface and in
to the dory. The fisherman sold his
lobster to A. J. Oliver and it was found
to weigh a trifle over Is pounds, which
is one of the largest that has appeared
at portland for some time. These large
Holsters grow scarcer each year, but
the occasional capture of one in deep
water indicates that there must be some
mammoth ones on the oceans bottom.
