In the celebrated case at Butter VS. Oleomargarine -

publc
Secretary at Agriculture J. Sterling Morton
has just fed 1 strikIng new brief for the
lefendant upon nppmai ! . Time secretary Is
justly Inlignant over the foolshness of the
Nebraska legislature . which has by the pas-
sage of a prohIbitory law doomed one at the
moat flourishing and valuable Industries at
that state . His argument in the case should
he perused over and over again by every
farmer and dairyman In the United States .
for It conclusIvely demonstr1es that the
oleomarlarlne Industry Is every whit as
profitable an Industry as the manutacture ot
butter. "Durin the last year " Secretary
Mortoit states "we exported tram this country -
try 118,195,049 pounds . or $ 11.263,010 worth , at
oleomargarine to foreign countries , and the
year before (893) ( ) $11,831,720 worth , of which
1 considerable portion was furnished hY Ne-
Irslm , Germany alone took 2,217,52
pounthu . for which site paId us $2,857 406. At
the same time the total exports of butter
were only 10.088,152 pounds , valuc at $1,730-
210. In 183 we exported less than 7,0.000
pOIIls at butter , and received for It $1,347-
. $1.3H-
712. Germany 100lc only 70.46 pounds of
butter last year . and paid us only $109,8i1. "
These statistics are nl emphatic indictment

gnlnc tramI As to the second couut-the
vilue at oleomargarine as a table Irtcle

men's association at its lendvle meeting.
According to Ute testimony at the leadvle

deavor for statehood have extendecl 0\11 a
period or more than fort ) ' 'ears. The six

sttuton was torwArdell to Wlshlngton amid
was rejected hy congress tn 1850 . Utah
was , however , al thAt time granted a territorial -
tonal rorm oC goverment ,
After a lapse ot 8even years a second
con\'elton was held and delegates sent to
Washlnglon to present the ( petition and con-
slulon as adopted to congress. This
petton shared tim sme rate as the first ,
and II was not until January , 1862 , that the (
lhlnl convention was called . On Januar
22 or that year a consttuton was adopted
and George Q. Cannon and " ' . 11. Hooper
chosen as delegates to IlrNent the same
to congress , On the third of the following
March the constitution was almost unanimously -
eonsluton
mously adopted by the people ant DrlghAm
Young was again elected governor. The
people were a third tmo ( disappointed , as no
acton was taken by congress.
Ten years later , on February 1 ! . 18i2. the
fourth convention was convened al Sal Lake
City and organized by the election of E. M.
larnul as president. At this convention 1

upon by the commitee which I was re-
ferred .
The fifth constitution was adopted In 1882
and ratified by the people , and again de-
tiled by congress
Undaunted by continuous disappointment .
the sixth convention met In Salt Lake City
on June 30 , 1887. A constitution was then (
adopted carrying a clause which declared
bigamy all polygamy to be incompatible
with a republican form of government. Con-
gress having rejected this appeal , the statehood -
hood question practically dropped out or
eight until after the divIsion of the ( people
on national party lines In 180
The recent enabling act provides for the
election of 107 delegates , and they were
elected In November last. Owing to Irregu-
larites In returns rrom lie ( Third precinct

have no certificates of election.
In the adoption or a constitution , prohlbl- I
ton , woman suffrage , mining , irrigation , dis-
position of public lands and legislative ap-
portonment , are the questions that will be
the most prominent before the convention.
The seventh constitutional convention was
called to order by Delegate Crone al noon
today In the new city and county building
with 102 delegates present , 5i of whom are
republcans and 45 democrats. Prayer was
