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

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.

Thcl'iofeeuttan fa the Citue of the Aumehhtt
Throuuh With Testimony.
In tho trial of tho anarchists at Chicago,
on the morning of the .'list, tho court room
wns crowded ns usiinl. The firnt pnrt ol
tho session wns taken up in the reading of
nrticles in the Arbeiter-Zeitung, which np
pcared before the massacre, urging working-
men to arm thomselves andadvorating tho
uso of dynnmito. The issue of April 2 re
ferred tfi the street car stiikcs in New York
and Brooklyn, in which it wns stated that
the month of May mightbrinz about many
things undreamed of that day, and the
workingmen were called to buy arms ns tho
1st of May was coming. April 2"snid that
police nnd soldiers must bo met witli armies
of workingmen, and whoever of these had
not money to buy arms wero called upon
to sell their watches and chains and buy
them. The issue of April 30 spoko of tho
secret orders tlio poliio had received for tho
trouble expected on tho following Satur
day. May 1 called on comrades to destroy
nil rolls of membership and minute books,
and to clean their breech-loaders and arm
themselves.
There wns lots of other matter ot this
kind rend, after which Detective Uonfield
was iccallcd. Ho had searched tho Ar-
beiter Zcituug olllco and found a number of
banners. These banners were brought into
court and placed in evidence. Most ol
them wero rid. The mottoes wero peculiar
and tho witness read them off. When
called upon tho witness testified that ho
found tho banners in tho Arbc ter Zoitung
building in tho small room that was used
as a library. Tho prosecution then rested.
Captain lllack and the other attorneys
for the dcfeiiHO said they would like the
com t to instruct the jury to bring in a ver
dict of not guilty in regard to Uscar Aeehe.
There was no rase against Neebe, and noth
ing in the ovidenio to show that ho nas in
any way connected witli tho uuis&acro on
Hnymarket square May !.
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.

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.

London, Aug. 3. The members of tho Glad-
stouiau ministry surrendered their teals of
office to the new ministers. The members ot
the two ministries lunched with the queen.
Lord Salisbury will remain a guest of the
queen until to-morrow.
The farewell to Lord and Lady Aberdeen In
Dublin to-day was phenomenal. All Dublin
was abroad and the enthusiasm was un
bounded. Lord Mayor Sullivan asked Lord Aberdeen
to describe tho scene to the queen aud to tell
her thai this was a "pale forecast of the re
ception she will receive when she come in
lertou to restore to Ireland liur nnnleut rleht
of self government"
The uddrs uf the corporation to the retir

people.
