Mr. Teller modified his amendment ac cordingly , Mr. Logan said that the proposition nbout fieo passes was making the bill ridiculous.

[ Special Tele gram. ] Kx-Congicssman Decline of Iowa Is hero earnestly supporting the interests of tlio dairymen of his state and Nebraska nnd is helping on the light against the fraudulent manufacture and sale of oleomargarine. Ho regards this as ono of tlio overshadowing questions of the day and says the matter has leached that stage whcio congress must de cide whether or not a few gicedy and giasp- Ing men shall be pci milled by deception nnd fraud to smother out nnd destroy one of our greatest Industries one In which f > ,000,000 citizens with 15,000,000 , cows mo engaged on small farms ami large farms In nil parU of the couutiy and whether the many millions of consumcis of butter nnd cheese shall be deprived of puio nnd healthy dairy product and com pelled to either do without or use the bogus aiticlc. He believes the question of health alone will settle this contioversy in favor of the pure aitialc. In icteiencc to tlio claim ot the butteilno men , that the demand for butter cannot be supplied by fauueis and hence butteilno becomes a necessity , Mr. JJcerlng said to the BKE correspondent to night that the northwest alone could supply the world with good butter If loft mi tram meled and given a fair opportunity for do- \elopment , and that In the west their meth ods of tanning had changed. The practice of raising wheat almost exclusively had been greatly abandoned and dairying had taken its place. Ho said that in his own county six years ago not ono pound of creamery butter had boon undo , but last year that county shipped to tlio cast 1,2.50.000 pounds : and so it would FOOII be in rxK ) other counties If they can ha\e encouragement and fair play. Mr. Decline expiessed the belief that the wclI-oiganUcd elloits of bogus mat ter to mislead and diivo this congiess and the country would fail , and thatii comme- hcnsivo and stilngent law will be enacted which will furnish that icliof from this inqully and fraud which is demanded by nine-tenths of the American people.
