POLITICAL.
The feeling III Politiea: circles Is way

Republican bodies in New York and the
| hardest possible work Is Eeing done TO
save the Empire State from the grasp of
| the Unsuitable Democracy. In the city
the waters are being vexed fearfully.
Meetings are being held every night, pro-
cessions are moving through the streets
every day, and money is being spent
like water NickhauI. tine Talnmany

OttendOrfer's candidacy viii take very
large Democratic vote, "a lie ought.
The decent Democracy will not support
Wickham, not because of anything OBJ
iectionabIe in the man. but because of
his surroundings. The good people of
New York are, very properly, averse TO
any man who is backed by the Iamma-
invites, for Tamn any has but one NOV
ing principle-plunder- plunder is
the certain consequence of Il Tammany
triumph.
But though WickhaIn will probably
be elected, it will be by a greatly reduced
majority, which will help the State tick
ct IN the city. General Dix has a hold
upon the people of the city, and it is
probable that large share of the OF
tendorfer vote will be cast for Dix. Let
us hope. The election of Tilden would
be disaster TO the whole country. The
elections in Ohio and Indiana possessed
no political significance, for they were
decided by questions not political in
their nature. But they went 10 the
country as Democratic victories, because
Democrats were elected. If New York
should elect a Democratic Governor, it
would put the Republican party ON the
track i'll 1876 handicapped, and twice the
effort would be required to achieve sue
cess. But we shall see what We shall
see.
DRESSES OF ACTRESSES.
In a recent letter l referred to the re-
muneration actors and actresses receive.
The dresses and jewelry in the posses
sion of Janauschek, the German tragedi-
enne, make bit of interesting reading.
She has one cross which has only TWEEN
ty-eight diamonds III it, and all of them
of large size Then she has chains,
strung with precious stones, bracelets
innumerable, and one pair of solitaire
earrings that cost S22, 600. She has a
ruby pin worth 81, coo, and pearl pend
ant worth So, 600, and another diamond
cross worth SIC, 600 Then the great .
actress carries with her sixty-six dresses,

stood let it be known that there are
many of them for which she paid S12

ADULTERATIoN OF AnLK-FooD.
1t is possible that there may be honest
milkmen somewhere under the canopy.
but they do not live in New York. The
Tribune, some two years ago, investi-
gated the milk trade, and happened to
tread upon the toes of a milkman named
Ganong. Feeling aggrieved by the pub
lication, Gangong sued for SO, 600 dam
ages, and the trial took place last week.
1t was bad thing, that trial, for the |
milkmen. 1t was shown IN court that |
all the milk sold in tie city was adultar-
ated fearfully-that to every two gallons |
of milk not less than one gallon of wa |
ter was added. This reducing the milk |
with water is the least Objectionable |
form of adulteratIon; for while the peo-
pie do not get the nlIi--yz-5y pay for,
they are not injured by foreign or dele
terious substances But, unfortunately,
the poor are served with an article that
can scarcely be called milk There is a
little milk in the compound, and but
precious little. 1t is a pity that New
York could not be under despotism for
just year, so that this matter of food
could be regulated in some way. Wa
tered or manufactured milk, stale, half
rotten, vegetable, immature and tainted
meat-these are the articles of food
which the poor of this great, miserabIy-
governed city are fed with, and which
they are compelled to eat, because they
can get nothing else. 1t is a curious
thing that New York, surrounded as it
is by the richest agricultural and garden
ing land in the world, should be so mis-
erably provided as it is with food The
rich can, of course, get all that they
want that is good, for they can pay for
t; but in the absence of stringent con
troll, the poor are at the mercy of the
who combine with the mid
lle-men 10 fleece them, and they are
to take the refuse, and that
which age or bad handling has made
and unfit for use. Napoleon
