Oleomargarine Bill Passes.

The state senate of Minnesota has passed the Sivright oleomargarine bill, which is extremely strict in its provisions, being known in the legislature as the “Little Grout bill.” The bill will take the place in the clause of the present law prohibiting the sale of oleo as a “substitute” for butter, which Attorney-General Douglass found to be unconstitutional. The bill was prepared by the attorney-general, and follows the Massachusetts law, which has been sustained by th* courts.
