Aeeompanleil With lteaon$ Why lie Stgnt the Slentiire. President Cleveland has approved tho oleomnrgarino bill and sent the following message to tho house notifying that body ot his action, but suggesting soma amend meats to tbo measure: To tlio Houso of Representatives I havo this day approved a bill originating in tho house of representatives entitled "An net defining butter, also imposing a tax upon nnd regulating the inanufneturo for sale, importation and exportation of oleomar garine." Tills legislation has awakened much Interest among tho people of tho country nnd earnest argument has been addressed to tho executivo for tho purpose of influencing his action thereupon. Many in opposition havo urged its dangerous character as tending to break down tho boundaries between the proper exercise of legislative power by federal and state au thority. Many in favor of tlio enactment have represented that it promised great advantages to a largo portion of our popu lation who sadly need relief, nnd those on both sides of the question whoso advocacy or opposition is bused upon no broader foundation than local or personal interest Have outnumbered nil others. Tins upon us ince anu in us main lent ores is a revenue bill and was first introduced in tlio house of representatives wherein tlio con stitution declares that all bills for raising revenue shall originate, 'llio constitution hns invi-sted congress with a very wiilo le islntive discretion both as to the necessity of taxation and selection of tlio objects of its bunions, and though if the question was presented to me as an original proposition 1 might doubt tho presontnceU of increased tuxation, I deom it my duty in tins in stance to defer to tho judgment of the lczis- lativo branch of tbo government which has been so emphatically announced in both houses of congress in favor of the passage of this bill. Moreover thoso who desiro to see removed tho weight of taxation now pressing upon the people from other dircc lions may well bo justified in tho hone and expectation that tho selection of an addi tional subject of internal taxation so well able to bear It, will in consistency bo fol lowed by legislation relieving our citizens from other rovonuo burdens rendered by tho iinssago of tins bill even more than heretoforo unnecessary and needlesslv nn prcsslvo. It lias been urged ns an objection to this measure that while purporting to be legislation for revenuo its real purnosois to destroy by all tho use of tho taximr power one industry of our people for tlio protection and benefit of another. If enti tled to indulge in such a suspicion as a basis of official action in this case, and if entirely satislled that the consequences in dicatcd would ensue, I should doubtless feel constrained to impose executivo dis sent, but I tlo not feel called upon to inter pret tlio motives of congress other wise than by tho apparent charac ter of tho bill which has been presented to me, and I am convinced that the taxes which it crentes cannot nos sibly destroy the open and legitimate man- uiacturo and salo ot tho thine noon which it is levied ii this articlo has tlio merit which its friends claim for it. and if tho people of the land with full knowledge of its real character desiro to purchaso and uso it, tlio luxes enacted bv tins lull wi l per mit a fair profit to both manufacturer and dealei. If the existence of tho commodity taxed and tho profits of its manufacture and salo depend upon disposing of it to tlio ,i-,iu- nil nwi!iuiiuii uimu WHICH lb deceit fully imitates, tho entire enterprise is a fraud nnd not an industry, and if it can pot eiiduro the exhibition of its real char acter, w hich will bo effected by tlio iiiBpec tion, supervision and stamping which this bill directs, tho sooner it is destroyed tho belter in the interest of fair doaline. Such a result would not furnish tho first instance in the history of leg slation in which a rov- enue produced a benefit which was mora v incidental to its pitrposo. Tlioro is certain ly no industry bet'er entitled to tlio inci den'al advantages which may follow this legislation l ban our farming and dairy in t crests, ami to nono of our people should they bo les begrudged than our farmers nnd dairymen. The resent depression of their occupations, tho hanl, steady and often unrcmutierativo toil which such occu pations exact, mid tho burdens of taxation Inch our agiculturists necessarily bear, on line mem to every legitimiito considera tion. Nor should tlioro bo opposition to mo incidental ellect ot this legislation on tho part of thoso who profess to bo encaced honestly nnd fairly in tho mauufacturo and sale of a wholesonio and valunblo articlo of food which, by its provisions, may bo subject to taxation. As long their business is carried on un er cover and by faiso proteases, such men have bad companions in those whoso man ii fnv tu res, however vile and harmful, tako their place without challenge with the bet ter sort in a common crusado of deceit gainst the public. Dutif this occupation nnd its methods aro forced into tlio light and al, these manufactures must cither stand upon their merits or fall, tho good ami bad must soon part company and tho iiuost oniy win stirvivo. Mot the least im portant incident related to thia legislation is tho dofenso afforded to tho consumer ngiuust tho fraudulent substitution ami sale of an imitation for a genuine article ot lood ol very genen I household uso. Not withstanding Die immense qunutity of tlio urticlo described in tins bill which is sold to the peoiilo for their consumption as food. ami notwithstanding the claim made that its inununu'turesupplie.s a cheapsubstituto lor liultor, 1 venture to say tltat hardly a pound ovor ontered a poor man's: houso under its real name ami in its true chnrucl ter. hilothereshould bonogoveriimoiita regulation of what tho citizen shall eat, it is certainly not a cause ot regret if by legis union oi mis character no is allorded n means which lie may better protoct him self against an imposition in meeting tho needs and wnntB of his daily life. II iving entered upon tlnsleglslati mil is manifest y a duty to render it as effectivo as possible in me accompiisiimeut ot all the good which should necessarily follow in its train. This leads to tlio suggestion that tho nrticlo proposed to bo taxed and the circumstances which subject it tlieroto should bo clearly and with great distinctness defined in the statement. It seems to inn that this object has not been wholly attained in the phrase ology ot the second section of the bill, and that a question may well arise as to the precise condition tho articlo io bo taxed must assume in ordor to bo regaided as made in imitation or semblance ot butter, or when so mndo, calculated or intended to bo sold as butter, or for butter. Tho fourteenth and fifteenth sections of tho bill in my opinion nre in danger ot being con truel as an interference with the polico powers of tho states. Xot beinc entirely satisfied ot the constitutionality ot these irovlsions, and regarding them ns not be in: so connected and interwoven with other sections as it found invalid to vitiate tlio entire mensure. I havo determined to commend them to tho attention of the house with a view to an immediate amend ment ot the bill it it should bo deemed nec essary, and it It ii practicable at t ih lato day in the sei-sion of congress. The fact. too. that the bill does not take effect ly its terms until ninety days have elapsed, after its upproal, thus leaving it but one mouth in operation before the next session ot eongre, whoa, it time does not now per mit, the safety and elllclency ol the meas ure may lie abundantly protected by remedial legislative notion, and the desiro to be rea I lied tho beneficial results whioh it Is expected will immediately follow the Inauguration ot this legislation, hare hud their 'nfluonco in determining my officio achou. Tho considerations which liavo been referred to will, I hope, justify this communication and tlio suggestions which it contains. Guoveu Cleveland.

The judge, after listening to tho counsel for some time, said he was not inclined to intcrfero in the case at all. .Mr. Solomon then made the opening statement for the defense. Ho presented his case in a clear and conciso form. He claimed that tho defeixlants wero not on trial for being socialists or anarchists. They simply belonged to an organization which was opposed to tho existing laws of society. 1 hey wero charged with tho mur dcr of Officer Dugan, but the throwing of the bomb wns not contemplated by them and tlie.y could not bo held liable as con spirafois. On this principle it might bo held that they wero accessories to tho man who threw- tho bomb. If this principle could not be proven they could not bo held as accessoiies. Mr. Solomon said they ex pected to jirovo that Fi"'den fired no shots and nover owned a pi to that Neebo wns was in no way conienied, that Siies did not liro tbo fuse, that Oil mar lied, and that Lingg was at ho. no on the night of May 4. They also proposed, ho said, to show that Engel was at homo on that night, nnd that nono ol tho defendants know anything about bomb throwing. Tho mooting at Haymarket square was a peaceable one and wns held under the right of American citizens to d s cuss tojiics of tho day. Tha polico went thero with an express purpose of killing somo of thoso men. 1 he defense expects to show that tho bomb thrower wns a crani um! wns not acting under tho ndvico ol the defendants.

The Indian when killed was In the act of shooting and would undoubtedly have killed the American had not ho been too quick.

As Itecently Illustrated In the Case of a 1'romlnent Senator. Washington special: Thursday last was, as will be remembered, rather a warm day Tlio most phlegmatic individual could not restrain the streams of perspiration which trickled all over tho body. A great, big, warm-blooded, impressive man, like Sena tor Reck, wns bound, under the most favorable circumstances, to havo a tough time, but Mr. Reck wns booked for asjicech on tho Morrison surjilus resolution on that day. lio wanted to free his mind on cer tain points, and it was then or never. So, up lie got, and for about twenty minutes tho words rolled out of his mouth like a,. torrent. His brawny fist pounded his desk, liko the hammer of a blacksmith, and his massive head shook vigorously and em phatically. When ho had finished ho was it ight, indeed; his collar had doubled up so it looked like a narrow piece of wet tape tied around h s neck. His shirt bosom wns sopping with perspiration. Great patches camo through and exhibited thomselves all over tho back of his coat and his faco was as though a heavy rain had run down it. hilo lie was thinking how uncomfortable ho felt, a page came ami told him Mrs. Reck wns up in his committee room anil wanted to seo him. Wondering what could havo brought her from homo "to-day." lio was. surprised, too, to see her taking from a valise a change of nice cool linen. Sho told him who bad read in the morning paper, after ho had left home, that ho was going it r mgli shod "for tlio finance committco- umeudment to tho Morr sou resolution," and as sho knew tho condition ho would bo- in, she hastened to the cupitol with the change. It did not tako him very long to striji and wash olf the dnniagound slip into his clean ilnen. lie then walked back to tlio sonato prouder than a peacock, and for tho balance of tho day his only topic of conversation were tlio virtues and cliarma of Kent lick v wives. SOME WAS1IIXOTOX GOSSIP. S. P. Rounds, public printer, tendered hia resignation to tho president ou the 30th.
