Cases. ‘There does not seem to be any sufficient ason why the prosecution of persons in- d for violaticn of the cleomargari: should be longer delayed. With the dealer who sells oleomarzarine as oleo- margarine there can be no quarrel, for he s honest; but with those who artfully labor to deceive their customers—who sell oleo- margarine ard call it butter—the courts must reckon There is no discussion just now as to the relative healthfulness or jesirability or cost of pure butter and imi- s of butter; the important fact is that yme of the imitations have been sold to nt purchasers who paid for and sup- ed they were getting the genuine article. Such deception is doubly fraudulent; there fraud in the falsehood, whether it be -nly told or merely elling at butter prices an imitative on which is listed at retail at half the price of real butter. The Star hes shly reliable information as he oleomargarine business ngton; it knows that many the chemicaliy-prepared sub- do so wittingly and for economy's o knows that some of the dealers ged in deceptive retailing because money in the business and because ave been assured by those who control al sources of smpply that they (the rs) would be compietely protected in should result in There has already been over- much deliberation in the bringing of these to trial; further delay is not the probabilities. To this matter, of its importance and because- of tath about cieo cases — e+ ___ mot the Evil Be Averted? It is a local misfortune when a Disirict contract gets into the hands of an outside contractor; the misfortune is accentuated when that contractor imports his laboring for a of giving employment to the n who are idle in the District of nc the misfortune fs painfully zeventuated when it becomes evident that the imported iaborers are of the lowest class of foreign immigrants. It may be that the District Commissioners were bound to award the Brookland sewer con- iract to the lowest bidder; if that be so the contract system here is in dire need of dment. A local contractor, of good - Was willing to do the work for ut two hundred dollars more than the of the successful firm; had he been the lowest there would have been steady em- ployment at fair wages for a large number ot Washingtonians who are anxtous to get work but cannot. While the general public tries to figure out how much the District of Columbia makes by the saving of §404.07 and the continued idleness of two or three hundred residents, wiil not the Commis- sioners try to devise some means by which any repetition of the impertation outrage can be prevented? oe of Rev.

There are some extreme!y foolish people In Iewa. Many are corfined and cared for in the Iowa State Asylum for the feebie- minded, but several are at large. Of latter, some were in session Monday Webster City, where the representa democrats of Hamilton couaty met at to elect delegates to the democratic state con- vention which, in its turn, will select those who will speak for Iowa at the Chicago cenvention. The present Congress was de- nounced, of that has been or is to be a feature of every democratic conven- tion and one th which no republican who knows politics will find any fault—but no one could have expevted that in giving ex-Governor Horace Boies a presidential implied, and there is | send-off the. Ham!ltonians would refer to their candidate as “the Great Commoner; the Gladstone of America.” Even political absurdity must find difficulty in the way of going further. Mr. Boles is undoubtedly @ well-behaved and sensible citizen—one who has rendered his state some service— who dezerve well of his party associates; but instead of contenting themselves with the plain truth the overenthusiastic sup- porters, of the ex-governor have at once sicpred over and made their idol ridicu- lets. Ridiculous because there do not now appear to be any points of resemblance be- tween Tower's ex-executive and the great- ¢st of English premiers. Doubly ridiculous because Mr. Bojes cannot—like all other American men, who refrain from purchas- ing titles at the Italian bargain-counter— be anything but a “commoner.” We are all commoners, so the term loses the vigor which belongs to it when it fs used in con- nection with Gladstone. The English leader secured the title which Is not a title by reputed refusals to become a peer of the realm. In the very nature of things it has never beer: even possible that Mr. Boies ecwe become a member of the British Hcuse of Lords, nor, so far as we know, has avy European or Asiatic royal family given the ex-governor an opportunity to join 1 either py marriage or adoption. Wry then shouid the democrats of Hamil- ton county, Iowa, seek to make him ab- surd? When Horace Boies has been elected President of the United States and then declines the honor it will be soon enovsh to try to establish a Gladstontan parallel. > o —_ To Revive Our Mercantile Marine. Senator Elkins promises to bring sharply before the Senate at an early date the ques- Uen of providing a discriminating duty of ten per cent on all imports carried in other than American bottoms. He declares that this will not only provide the additional revenue now so sadly needed, bet it will stimulate American shipping and re-estab- lish the flag of this nation on the sea: where once, under the influence of just such # law, it was of equal rank with the Union Jack. The statistics of governmental as- tance by Great Britain indicate very ciearly that that great maritime nation be- lieves this to be a good and wholesome Eolicy. Alongside of these substantial aids the American vessels cannot hope to main- tain themselves. The success resulting from the encouragement given a few years ago tc the American Line, with its fleet of four magnificent steamers, should be an object lesson of great value to present legisiators. — +e Ohio has gone so far as to make the wear- ing of a big theater hat punishable by a fine. It is highly improbable that anybody weuld be so ungallant as to have such a law enforced but it may have an indirectly wholesome influence by impressing the fact that mammoth head-gear at a place of amusement is not ladylike. 2 = Mr. Carlisle's appearance as a presidential candidate would carry the inference that Mr. Cleveland grants his approval and withdraws from the race.
