NEW AND F0RCEFUL POINTS
IN OPPOSITION TO THE
OIEOATARGAR ARINE
BILL.
He is Cordially Congratulated by
His ole agUes.

Washington, D. c., March 81
Today Senator Simmons delivered
his first speech in the Senate in op-
position to the bill to tax oleomar-
garine ten cents pound.
z The Democratic members of the
committee, of whom Mr.. Simmons
is one, offer a substitute for the bill
to so mark olaonnaroarinn as tn make
it impossible to sell it as butter. In
supporting the :ubsttii tute, Mr.. Sim
mons showed conclusively that it
would prevent frauds, and at the
same time allow p legitimate in
dustry to exist. He showed that the
advocates of the tax sought to de-
stroy the oleomargarine industry,
which would seriously injure the
cotton seed oil mills and through
them the cotton seed growers Of the
South, as we'll as the beef, cattle and
hog growers of the West. Mr.. Sim
mons proved that oleomargarine
was q healtn1ul article Of food and a
splendid substitute foT butter, which
can be oDtstIaaA at q price within
the reach Of tl2e isboring people of
this ccuntE.y He proved that this
tax was sought tc oe put on oleomar-
garine by the cairy interests Of the
country in order to stile competition
and to advance the price Of butter.
He showed conclusively that the
bill proposed 10 l1se the taxing pow
er OF the Government to destroy one
legitimate industry for the benefit
of another, anG/ that this was con-
trary to every prs-acipie Of the Dem
ocratic party.
During ttas delivery Of the speech,
which consumed an hour and q half,
our Senator nau the close attention
of the Senators in the chamber and
of full gaIlaries. He rarely referred
to his notes, but spoke vigorously
and effectively. He was collected,
master of himself and his subject.
During the speech several advo-
Gates of the bill, including Senator
Proctor, Of Vermont, in charge Of
the bill, asked him questions, and
his s.nsWela wGIe prompt and to the
point. Veteran Senators like Spoon
er, Teller, Proctor, Foraker, Money,
Bacon and Others. paid close atten-
ton, and most of the North Carolina
House mem bers heard with rapt in
terest.
When Senator Simmons concluded
he was warmly congratulated by
many Senators and members of the
House. The opinion is general
that his speech was the best on the
question, and one of the best deliv-
cred on any subject during this ses-
sion OF tie ~< nate. : Democratic
leader said this afternoon that his
speech places Senator Simmons in
the front rank of debators in the
Senate All the North Carolina col
ony is proud of the record our Sena-
tor made for himself today. He mea-
sures up to the full requirements OF
a Democratic Senator from North
Carolina, and is worthy successor
of Vance and Ransom.

THE PARMEIEE LIBRARY.

The books which were to be de
ivered last Saturday have not ar
rived. Mr.. Morgan informed the
company promptly, and is doing all
he can to find out why the books
have not come, and to get them. He
understands it to have been the pur-
pose of the company to supply Colds
boro from their repository in Louis
vile, KY, for the present, and it
may be that the freshets in that
State and Tennessee have caused the
delay. Evidently it is due to mis-
carriage either of mail or express.
He solicits the patient indulgence
of subscribers, hoping to have the
books soon.

Makes Trouble Between Catholics and the
KNIGHTS OF PuthldS

Only slight attention was paid to the
contention of the priest and council
until yesterday. when Father Wehrie
took the train for St Clairsville and
returned with temporary injunction
to restrain the council from proceed
ing with the exercises. Serious trou-
bic was anticipated today in case the
council and the Knights of Pythias In
sisted upon carrying out the program
that had been planned. However, at
the appointed hour, in the presence of
four companies Of uniformed knights
from Wheeling and an equal number
from Martins Ferry and Bridgeport,
the corner stone was laid in defiance OF
law without a clash or semblance of
such.
Today Father Wehrie refused to
talk, but members OF the knights OF
st. John. who are supposed to be close
/ to him. stated that they minded to
continue the legal fight to eliminate
the knights of Pythias insignia from
the stone.
