There is one significant circumstance con-
nected with the mention Of A1r. B1AHE's
name as candidate before the Cincinnati
Convention which may now be noted with
propriety. 1t is fact that, while Mr. BLAINE
at the first, and up to the time his reputation
was tarnishod with unbecoming stock trans
actions while Speaker Of the House, was re-
garded with favor by large number of citi-
zens in the Western and New England States,
his name has always been received in sullen
silence by the great mass OF German voters.
4 few German politicians identified with the
machine have declared for him, as they
would for anybody else in the interest Of the
machine but there has been no expression
from the mass Of German voters which
could be construed as indicating even con-
fdence, and certainly not enthusiasm, in
BLAINE IS Presidential candidate. As it is
no longer likely that Mr.. BLAINE viii be
prominent candidate before the Cincinnati
Convention, this may be stated now without
prejudice to him, but as one Of many circum-
stances which tend to convince thinking Re-
publicans that it will be possible to find
much stronger candidate than BLAINE would
have been, even if be had not placed him
self in so unfortunate position in regard to
his railroRd-stock operations.

The latest peril that confronts Us in our
homes is the beef-poison, lurking in the
pressed corned beef on the lunch-tab1e.
Numerous and mysterious cases of poisoning

ports which will be found in another column,
several cases Of beef-poisoning have already
occurred in this city. Thepoison, itappears,

BILL If Jon observe that you paid but half or two
thirds Of the price for the same meal week ago.
you will be told, in Of those neat logical cpl
grams which French people apply to every circum-
stance in life, TINT the cost of living is increasing
daily. There is nothing for It but to pay.
The same writer also let's us into Soma Of
the secrets of Partisan drinking and eating.
The fne-weather drink Of the prudent
Frenchman, in winter and spring, is Bor-
deaux brought up to soft temperature. On
cold, raw days he takes Burgundy; in sum-
mer, tisane de Champagne well iced, which
our apoplectio friends will be glad to know
is good for their complaint. In winter:ho
eats the darker-colored meats, with game and
truflles; in summer, young vegetables, shell
fish, chickens fed upon boiled wheat, and
ducklings; in extremely hot weather, moth
ing but lamb, and that cold.
The woes of the average Partisan arc
hardly more direful than those of the average
American. In our kitchens cooks have
way Of entertaining friends shat alarmingly
increases the monthly bills, and are addicted
to sending out parcels Of provisions to their
relatives in manner which is not calculated
to enliven the spirits Of housekeeper. Like
her Partisan sister, the American cook is apt to
light out just about dinner-time for brief
season Of personal enjoyment, and sometimes
to give warning and light out altogether.
Unlike her Partisan sister, the average Ameri-
can cook can't cook at all, and will consume
twice as much expense in displaying her in
competence as the Partisan cook does in
showing her skill and taste. The slipshod |
character Of the American cook, and the cor
careless character Of the Ameri- |
can menu, has driven many people into the |
hotels and restaurants. If the number of |
people in Chicago were known who take their
principal meal at noon in the downtown
restaurants it would be surprising. It adds
to the despair Of the situation that this meal
at the restaurant is apt to be good for moth
ing. The Saturday TRIBUNE has for several
weeks past shown how to do the cooking.
But where are the cooks to come from ?
How long will it be before all Chicago is
dining in the street like Paris?

yesterday to rise in his place and make q

PARISIAN STREET DINNERS,

4 writer in the Pail Mall Gaz.tte, who
seems to be as well versed in Partisan
gastronomy US was the lamented THAoKERAy:
states as one of the indirect results of Com
munis,n that tho people Of Paris, as rule,
have taken to dining in the streets. The
Immediate causes. of this change are numer-
Gus, but mostly spring from "the servant
girl question" Rents in Paris are SO high
that the people are cra1nped for rooms, and
consequently their apartments are made in
tolcrable by the succession IF strange smells
coming from the cookery. The best pro-
visions are carried of by contractors early in
the morning, so that only the refuse Of tile
markets remains for private individuals.
Nothing less than whole salmon, tur-
gus, costing thirty francs, can some-
times be obtained at the district mar
kets or petty shops; and those pastoral
ages when careful housewife could success
fully negotiate for half a cabbage to flavor
her soup are gone by" The cooks will not
consent to enter q kitchen unless they have
control Of the expenditures, and then, like
PEn1o1Ar, they have way of adding about
25 per cent to the cost of the provisions,
which goes into their own pockets, of course.
Moreover, the cook hes a habit of leaving
just before dinner; if she be a person of
mature years, going to wine shop to take
nip with the next-door cook; if she be
young aud good-looking cook, entertaining a
military friend when she should be attend
ing to her meals, OR going out with him for
a promenade when she should be putting the
fowls upon the table. The concieryes help
to make it uncomfortable for the homs diner
by levying e1tortionate tolls upon fuel and
Wines The combination ct these and other
troubles has at last driven the Partisan out
Of his house and compelled him to take his
meals in the street. How he dimes is thus
told by this writer:
At the chief eating houses, such as B1csoS'>
and DEFouR's, the old bill OF fare Is invisible,
The head-waitcr, fluent and amiable man. re-
peats list OF the dishes which ready at break
fast or dinner time; md the wise diner-out re-
quests that he will select what he knows to be best
simply adding the condition that It shall be recon-
mande, or especially commended to the attention
OF the chief cook, who shares the e1trn tin given
to the waiter By experienced customers for this
purpose. There is little choice about
tavern dinners certain things have
been cooked and must be eaten Il
is not prudent interfere with the established Or
der Of them The customer will have IL take that

An old citizen Of Chicago, in writing to us
to commend the suggestion that immediate
steps be taken to arrest work on the new
courtHouse so long as it is under the con-
troll Of the present County Ring, says that
HOGAN. the " County Plumber, is now offer
ing to bet 800 to 81 that he will get the
plumbing contract in that building. The
sane correspondent also calls our attention
to the assertion that HOGAN had the contract
for plumbing the east wing of the old Court
House, and that, while the eontract price was
$4,000, he put in bill Of e1trns for S45, 600.

TEE DEMAND OF THE CAMPAIGN


The CHICAGO TRIBUNE has displeased some
honest but unrefecting Republicans by
speaking frankly as to the circumstances OF
the campaign. We have told the Repub-
Gcan party that nomination by the Cincin.
natl Convention will not Of itself be equiva-
lent to IN election, by any means. With the
vote of New York added to the South, the
Democratic candidate will be elected. The
same condition of circumstances that will in-
duce New York to vote for the Democratic
candidate will have like controlling indu-
ence in several other States. The vote of
Ohio, Of Wisconsin, and Indiana, all doubt
full, are essential to the success of the Re-
publican candidate. In short, the Repub-
1ican candidate must carry all the Republic
an and also all the debatable States to make
his election certain For stating this notori-
GUS and self-evident fact, the machine poll
tcians have denounced TIE TRIBUNE. We
have also been censured because we have
stated thst the grand issue Of this Presiden-
tihl election, forced by the most extraor-
dina1y developments, will be the reform and
publication Of the Governmental service.
The criminal supremacy in all divisions Of
government, down to County Commissioners
and Boards Of Trustees in rural villages, is
painfully impressed upon the knowledge OF the
people. Corruption, bribery, blackmail, dis
honesty, and falsehood seem to be inseparable
from official life as now practiced; and the hon
est people are inrevolt against the intolerable
abuse. Party conventions may frame what
ever issues they please, but they cannot
change the ons Of which the people have tax
en- jurisdiction, and On which they intend to
give Judgment, and that is the publication of
the Governmental service. This work must
begin at Washington Hmust start from the
Executive chamber and penetrate every
extending into all branches Of
the national service. There can be no purifca-
ton OF local governments, or of commercial
and financial institutions, SO long rs the civil
service Of the National Government offers
the highest honors and largest pscuniary re-
wards to the graduates and more advanced
students Of bribery, and robbery, and general
official dishonesty. So long as the National
c'vh service is made the refuge for thoincon-
potency and dishonesty that can find no recoc-
mnon IN private or commercial life, it is use-
less to expect to reform or purify local gov
ernments, or to raise the standard in business
Under these circumstances, the country at
this time will look to the candidates as of.
fording the best and most certain guarantee
Of thorough change in the civil .ar,;,;,
Eration OF the Government and which ever
party viii, IN the person Of its candidate,
otfer the best assurances on this subject will
slect its President and obtain possession and
control Of all branches of the Government
This may be unpalatab1e to machine poll
icians, but the fact remains the same, and
ihou1d not be ignored.

Iorite son to embauass their choice. rhev
