V For Pure Butter andtMilk. Representative Geo. Reed, of Boone county, introduced his first bill in the Boose Thursday. It was a measure pro viding for the creation of the office of State Dairy Commissioner. The bill pro­ vides that such commissioner thai* be appointed by the Governor with the ap­ proval of the Senate, and his term of office shall be for two years, provided that the term of office of the first com­ missioner appointed shall expire the first Monday in February, 1895. The salary shall be $2,600 per annum and necessary expenses. The commissioner may; with fha AAnaoni A( +t*«* !!««»*•-« » --' \ VI WUV UVTV1UV1) two assistants, one of whom shall be an expert in the matter of dairy product and the other shall be an analytical chemist, who may be the chemistetuploj- ed in the State University. Their salaries shall not exceed $1,500 each per annum. It shall be the duty of the commission­ er and his assistants to enforce all exist­ ing laws relative to the producing, man sfactsreor sale of dairy products, inspect dairy products, milk, butter or cheese offered for sale in the State which is be­ lieved to be impure and unhealthful. The commissioners may enter creamery, fac­ tory, store or salesroom where they have reason to believe that any dairy produc is prepared, sold or offered for sale, and to open casks and tubs that contain such articles and make exaujiiiaiions of the products. Any person obstructing the commissioner or hie assistants in the are propositions to withhold from In mat*** of National soldier's homes pen- elans which are now granted them under the law j to deprive tho«6 * ho are capa­ ble of earning alivelihood ot six hundred dollars * year of {tensions granted them by the dependent |ien*ion act; prohibit­ ing the pay ment, of pensions to widows who married soldiers since 1870. and lay­ ing the foundation of stilt further raids on the petmioners by the establishment of a commincion to sit during the recess of Congress to examine the pension rolls and preparing a plan for reducing the pittance now paid these men, or cutting them entirely off the rolls wherever prac­ ticable. This is the beginning of the pro­ posed "economy" which the incoming Deraocraoy are to establish. Another event of the week which has proven unfavorable to the Democrats, and at the same time gratifying to the Republicans, has been the statement pre­ sented by the .Secretary of the Treasury, showing the condition of the public Snasce. The Democrats have constant­ ly held since the election that the Treas­ ury was bankrupt and that the Republi­ can officials were preparing to leave it. in bad ehape to their Democratic success­ ors The statement submitted to I'on- giws bv [Secretary Foster under a resolu­ tion passed by the House shows however the falsity of these claims. The state­ ment shows not only that the Treasury is in a healthy condition, but that the receipts of the past year have exceeded the expenditures and that the estimated receipts of the coming year will be in ex­ cess of the necessary expenditures by nearly four million dollars and there is likely to be a comfortable balance o! twenty million dollars on hand at the end of fbe fiscal year, besides the one hundred millions of reserve fund, held as security for the greenbacks. This does ' If discharge of their duty shall be fined $25 i "r,t io°K mucn nste a Danurnpt i reasury. l he Secretary also estimates for the first offense and not exceeding $500 or less than $50 for each subse­ quent offense. State's attorneys shall, when called upon by the commissioner or his assistants, prosecute offenders of the law. The commissioner shall make an annual report containing statistics and general information of interest. Such a law would doubtless be a good one and Mr. Reed should *nrge its pass­ age.--Be]ridere Northwestern* Ou Berolar Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 28,1893. The Democrats have £raoe«w«u admira­ bly this week in showing their hatred for the Union soldiers, their unwillingness to legislate for the good of the country, and their determination to subordinate everything in the interest of members of their own party. One would suppose that when the safety of the lives of sixty- that under present conditions the re­ ceipts of the next fiscal year will surpass the ordinary expenditures by fifty- three million dollars. Thus he destroys not only the claims of a bank runt; treas­ ury and mismanagement of national finances, but at the same time destroys the only excuse the Democrats,had for the proposed extra session bv showing that the receipts nre sufficient to meet the expenditures, but not enough in ex­ cess to warrant any special session of congress for the reduction of the tariff or other monkeying with national finances. O. P. A. ; Ex-Secretary Thompson, of • . Indiana, who was American president of ^ Hie Panama Canal company, says there ~ v. was no money corruptly spent in America ^ fa behalf of the Canal, so far asheknows, " Mind he goes farther and shows that iliiere was no occasion for any such ex- penditares.

"'- A mm---- ftS^Some of the democrats in Con- t, ̂ . • gress who do the most kicking abont. the ; amount paid out for pensions are them- • .selves drawing pensions as veterans of fc '- 1 the Mexican war. Commissioner Raum ^ lately said: "Men distinguished, men |}?> occupying high places, and members of the two houses of Congress, who get big f:Si \ salaries and who served in the Confeder­ al- ate army, are among those who are ft • drawing pensions, and these men are ; drawing pensions for service, and not for wounds, as is the case with the sohiiersof the civil war." WM W Newspapers of both parties that have been used to sneer at the character and services of Rutherford B. Hayes, ^^AfhaVe, since his death, contained eulogies. They are deserved, but how much better 'M?' ,' to speak well of the living, to give the | ;: kindly words while yet they fall on re­ ft;' . sponsive ears and carry comfort andsat- . isfaction. It is of little account now to the one to whom eulogies are offered, but ,'|L, doubtless through the years of misrepre- sentation, stung by the arrows of malice, j£r ">. such words would have been grateful to fe him. It is one of the injustices of parti- |pV , sanship that it is forbidden to see good qualities in political opponents; that the pre conceived opinions, advanced in times of passion, are to be held even after events have proven them wrong. Only when one dies is full justice done, and then praise falls on the dull, cold ear of death. Fortunately, however, this spirit is'disappearing, and partisanship grows less and less, and of late years has gone down rapidly. Tolerance of opin­ ion is now the rule and good qualities are not obscured because of a difference, of opinion. It is better that way. The country is more comfortable on account of it and life is more pleasant. It would be bettor yet if the best of men and Democratic leaders might lay aside par­ tisanship for the moment and be willing' to legislate on broad general principles. But even this, it seems, cannot be expect­ ed of th» present Democratic leaders, or of those who are to be leaders in the next congress. This was shown in a marked way whea the quarantine bill came up for consideration in the House. The Republican Senate had passed 4 bill 'after much careful consideration, which places in the hands of the highest medi­ cal authority of the Government--the Marine Hospital service--the right of de­ termining whether people from cholera infected ports shall come into the coun­ try, and if so, under what regulations. The New York Democrats of the House, however, say that this proposition miyht. cause some of their office holders in that city to loose position or power. And the result was that they were ready to slaughter the bill and take the chances of letting the cholera into the country for the sake of protecting a few Tam­ many office holders. When the Senate bill came to the House Speaker Crisp, who was elected speaker through the as­ sistance of Tammany, laid the bill on his table and allowed it to remain there, so that the Honse bill conld be taken up with certain amendments which would protect the Tammany gang at New York. Congressman Rayner, who offered the bill accepted an amendment offered by that Tammany brave, Boorfee Gockraa, which provided that this law of the United States should not interfere with municipal State regulations, meaning, el course, New York City and tiseT&mmany' heelers who represent the health of that ring ridden city. And the Democrats of tho House deliberately passed the bill leaving the Senate bill on the Speaker's table and thus complicating the most important question before this Congress --which proposed to exclude the dreaded disease--and leaving the situation in such a tangle that there is no telling whether any practical result will come out of it. Up to this time the two Houses are in a complete deadlock on the quar­ antine question and with no apparent effort at an agreement. Another evidence of the willingness of the Democrats to sacrifice the best inter­ ests of the country and business element to the influence of their own people, was shown in the defeat of the bankruptcy bill which came up in the House on Wed nesday. The business people of the North have been for years attempting to get a general bankruptcy law. The mer­ chants of the Northern ci ies have found that the bankruptcy laws of the South are utterly valueless, and that if they sell their goods to Southern men at all they must trust purely to their honor to get their pay. The result has been enor­ mous losses to the business men of the Northern cities, until many of them are compelled to refuse credit in the South in a large number of cases. It was on ac­ count of this that the Northern members led by prominent Republicans, have urged the enactment of a National bank­ ruptcy law. And it was for the same reason that the Southern members led by that distinguished ex-Confederate from Texas, Kilgore, defeated it. When the bill came up in the House Mr. Kil gore inaugurated a fight aeainst it and by wasting the day in filibustering de­ feated it and thus left "Southern busi- j ness men" free from the restrictions of a j reasonable National Bankruptcy law. j The event of the vtoek has been the ; Democratic attack upon the pensioners. ! The fact that the old soldiers have been getting a reasonable share of the income of the Government which they saved, has been for years a source of distress to them, and flushed with the recent victory : they have already begun their raid upon J the pensions which the Republican Con- • gress gave to those veterans of the late war. The House Appropriation commit­ tee, instead of bringing in the pension I bill at an early time in the session have 1 ^delayed it until now and the subcommit­ tee in charge of it has come to the front with a number of propositions looking to the revision of the amounts paid to pensioners Among the methods by which they propose to turn the thumb •ww dowa oa these Battering heroes (I won't move a peg mnti! you get me one of tbossflne single Harness, tit Hubbard's ) 12 Sata Doub'a Harness all ready Sets Slnsle Harness all ready.
