THE OLEOMARGARINE LAW. By signing the Oleomargarine bill .President Cleveland has given execu tive sanction to a statute which is a .•dearly an abuse of the Federal Con stitution a$ the Oteomnrgariuo law pass ed by \hc New York Legislature, ap proved by Qovcrnot 1 Cleveland and set aside by the Ce.nrt of Appeals was a violation of tho Constitution of this State, * • • • The law has an iui portanoo whioh tr&uaccuds bo'.h tho dairy, and the ojsomargarino interests. ' Its enactment and approval establish a precedent whicn may provo mischievous to the entire i&dujttfsl and commercial iu/erests of the eouittry. One industry Is t*e victim of such legislation thin year j another may bo tho victim next yeai.—AT Y. Herald, In J, Oleomargarine, as wo explained at the tiwo this bill was passed, is tho sub stance used in the manufooturc of arti ficial batter. Tho sut.jeet was a very difficult one to legislate on, and Con grei-n balanced matters by imposing a revenue tax on tho articlo. Tbo oppo nenta of the bill asserted that the measure was a proposition to tax out of ens ten oe an artiolo from whioh could be manufactured, a wholesome artiolo and bought by people who cannot afford o pay tho price asked far dairy butter, and that tho bill proposed to legislate "for the destruction of one iudustry but without giving any guarantee of genu lncaa aud excellence to another industry that is to be proteotod." Tho advocates of tbe bill maintained that it was a measure to prevent tho manufacture aud sale of all imitations, whilo tho oppo nents of the bill insisted that it is an i attempt to tax this artiole out of exis tence to favor batter farmers and dairy men—admitting that artificial buttei I made from otoomargarino is but cham butter. Tho new law has not brought op the pi ice of butter, as its opponents predicted would be tho result, for good barter is down to ten cents in some pop ulous localities. TAXES FOR" EDUCATION. THK FIX IN WHICH TIIK NORTH CARO LINA SCHOOLS ARE I'LAC'BD. RALEIGH, N. 0., July 81.—The Supremo Court of this Stato recently decided Uiat taxes for oduoatioual pur pose! boyood 661 cents on the hundred dollars valuation of roal «nd personal property are uneonssituttonal, Tho Constitution| is mandatory upon tbe Commissioners ol the several counties to keep the publlo schools open for four consecutive months in caoh and every year. The State tax and the neoessary county taxes reaoh tbo constitutional hMt of 601 cents, and tbe j3tato county authorities are now pojalcd to devise way* and means whereby the Legislature at its nest session can raiae soffioient money for this pnrposo without infringing upon the Constitu tion. The graded schools in almost every town and the several normi] schools will all bo crippled during the next school year unless something is doae to raise money that is now avail able for this purpose. Of course tbo sobools for the colorod ohildren will i suffer more than the schools for tho white ohildren, because there aro so aawy private schools for tbo wbitos. In this view tbe loading colored educators throughout tho Btate have issued an ad addresa, stating the fasts and calling upo« their people in every county to meet and send eight delegates to a State Convention, to bo held in lUletgh op Thursday, November 18th next, to ooneeder tbe whole subjnst and draft a memorial te be presented to tho Legis lature at its session in January next. The colored people have a number of graded schools and also normal schools 'at Plymouth, prankJinton, Salisbury, Fayetteville and New Born, that are seriously affected by (lie decision. Tbe jirufwitlou is to ask tbe Legislature to MMoliiiate the normal schools at some • m place and to donate 5,000 acres of *Uad belonging to the Board of Educa ting in order that the agricultural fea ture may bu atlaehod to the school.- •Yets York Times. »» .. Wo have board several complaints made ugainst President Cleveland, but ihe annexud, from (he Washington let tor of the Alexandria (Inz'tte, lm* tbe merit of novelty, however deficient it way be in justice to President Cleveland: "An old Democrat, well known through out tho entire country, says he has had numerous interviews with the Presi dent bofore and since his inau.uiation souiu of theui at the President's invitation, but ttmt in all of them he has never heard hiiu utter the words Demo cracy, Democratic party, wo, or us. He says be believe* the President has bain inducod by the mugwun.ps to think that his personal popularity wuh tho people will make his iidmiuistratiou a success, irrespective of the support of his party, and that ho is abovo his pcr »y." Such a conclusion as that arrived at by an intelligent Democrat makes tho President a nun of much less sagac ity and common sense than is generally accorded to hiin by his bitterest ene mies.—Danville Regiiter , Dtm. A man of transceudont parts liko Jci amy JJonthaai could afford to as he did, of being a man of no party, U3 well as of all countries,--though he oauic at length to oocupy the position of a party luador, but if Mr. Cleveland possesses tho ability, and independence to make hi» administration a success, "iriespootive of tho support of his par ty—bo is endowed with qualities of a higher ordor than we had reason to think. We hopo he may provo himself equal to tho work. llcrbort Spencer, who possoesw one of thi great minds of England, ii *aid to be' passing away, lie ban boon trou bled for years with iusomuia and nor voiunest), and bas been in the habit of using a bop pillow to induco the obstinate trouble has finally got the better of him, 11 o has had much influ ence on the scioutifio thought of his time and tuny bo assigned a place next to Charles Darwin, lie is a bacheler, and has dwelt in a London boarding house, at 37 Uaocns Garden, Lancaster Gate, for uiany years where wo mot ' him in 1872, whilo calling to dine with an English friond.
