Try to Corner Butter.


New York, Dec. 16.-Poor peo-
pie of the cities who are unable to
keep a cow may soon have to eat
their bread straight, or spread it
with cleo, if plans now being made
to effect monster conner in but
ter are successful. According to
stories which have leaked out re-
garding the heinous attempt to
monopolize the nations butter, the
corner will become effective in
about two weeks, and by the first of
the year all of the big cities of the
land will be writhing in the grasp Of
the hydra-headed butter octopus.
A million dollars worth of butter
in storage is the means, it is al
legged, by which the price of butter
will be made to take a balloon as
cension.
The butter is June creamery stock
the best of the storage product, and
enough has been taken in by men
in the corner, to dominate the price,
it is, alleged by commission men.
A little price juggling during the
time the July supply was marketed
enabled those on the inside to buy,
it is alleged, while other dealers
were frightened away and did not
lay in the usual supply.
Commission dealers in New York,
Boston, Chicago and Elgin are cred
tied with being connected with the
deal. They are said to have TO-
coo pound in storage.
1t is predicted that the retail price
that now rules will seem modest
after the happy New Year arrives.

NEW OPTION MEASURE.
1t Will, if Anything, be More Strin-
gent than Law Defeated,

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 17.-One of
the principal objections raised to
the initiative law for county local
option, which was submitted to the
voters at the late election, was that
while it provided means for Sc
curing county local option through
a vote of the people it did not pro-
vide any means of backing up If the
counties were not satisfied with the
workings of the new law after a
trial of its provisions. After the
discussion along that line it was
thought probable that some change
in that direction would be made be-
lore another effort was presented,
aut this does not appear to be the
fact. The new law which is to be
to the legislature at the
coming session through the initia-
tive not only is practically the same
as the old law, but, If anything,
more stringent.

qulrements on election day and furthermore advising them tC erase from the list of instruc. tios sent out by the board the provision referring to the poll tax receipt.
 The gravity of the situation resulting from possible contests, was regarded as too great to ad- init of any possible basis for con. test. As the board of election commissioners say in conclud. ing their letter to the judges: Nothing should be done that can be used as basis of a con- test before Republican House of Representatives.
 While the courts have never questioned the amendment as passed by the Legislature, and while it has been generally re- garded in the state elections as valid; yet, in view of the decision of Judge Trieber, with reference to it's validity, it has been thought wise to withdraw all ob- jection to the privilege of voting in the presidential and congress siOnal election, so far as the poll tax qualification is concerned. The, communication from the board of commis ssioners will be mailed out to the various county election commissioners, today from the office of National Com mitteeman Guy B. Tucker, with the following note from the national committeeman:
 Dear Sir:-I am mailing you today under another cover a communication from the Board of Election Commissioners. l have consulted Senator Clarke and State Chairman Millwee and they agree that the suggestion of the board is for the best iu- terest of the Democratic party Please see that one of the copies send you reaches one of the judges in each precinct in your county by Tuesday morning.

HOPE.

Mr. Walker who had his left hand severed from the arm night before last by railroad train says, so his brother reports, that the fau.t of the accident lay with the railroad and that he was in no wise to b.ame. This point will evidently be settled in the courts if no compromise is made. It is probable the officials of the road will contend that MT. Walker was trespassing on their land when the accident oc- cured.

PINcHEp PRINCES.
European Royalties Troubled to Make
Ends Meet.

EndS Meet
Hard times, indeed. are fallen upon
the earth when royalty Joins the sub
merged tenth and takes a station in
the bread line. It is not quite so bad
as this yet, but the future is dark.
Emperor Williams recent cry of dis
tress is seconded now by reports Of
hard times at Lisbon. The royal house
field is besieged by creditors and the
crown Jewels will have to 90 to sat
isfy the grocery bill If suits now pend
ing succeed. What wonder Emperor
William cannot make ends meet on
s9,S46,121 a year, although he has
much private property to bring in
pin money. The king of Portugal re-
ceives only a miserable S56TO0O a
year. and his present trouble seems
to spring from difficulty in collecting
even this.
Calamity claims come also out Of
Russia, where the car is understood
to be much struitened, recent dras-
tic revolutions and i'll considered po-
lltical movements having reduced
somewhat the S12,OOO,OOO a year which
he customarily receives from his 1,OOO,-
600 square miles Of land and his Siber-
ian mines. King Leopold Of Belgium,
as we know, is now struggling with. a
conascatory minded parliament, bent
on cutting off his Congo income and
/ throwing him back on his pittance Of
/ $780, 900 a year. Only the sultan, with
/ his S75OO00O a year, seems really
content. As we know, there have been
no waves of popular clamor, no hasty
legislation, to interfere with the sui
tan's business in Turkey.
What the present straits, real or al
legged, Of royalty, are to come to VIC
can only surmise. Their misery may
be only affected as a means of scar
ing back the flood OF public ownership
of kings sentiment that is passing
over Europe. Again, the trouble may
be real, for the style OF royalty is ex-
pensive. Whether the people will come
10 law with Their taxes or decide that
the bauble of royalty costs more than
II Is worth is the important question
