How cheaply people can be fed, ana
we'll fed, in New York City, was shown
last week by Mrs. Amelia Lewis, in her
dinner to the Farmers Club. The bill
of fare included soup, roast beef, boiled
mutton. five kinds of vegetables, pud-
ding and claret; and the total cost Tor
forty persons was but twenty-five cents
each: The San Francisco Examiner then
goes on to show how eheaply and COM
fortably people can live in California.
There can be no doubt that with good
cooking and economical marketing, peo-
nile might live cheaper and even better
than they do. The waste Of money IN
this direction is something enormous. IL
every man in California had a good
thrifty wife, trained to household duties
he can live and keep a famiiyon less than
the average Of single men expend upon
themselves alone. Reform in this direc-
ton is badly needed. Except in the
matter OF house rent, there is no State IN
the Union in which a family may be
raised cheaper than in California. Vege-
tables and fruits are exceptionally cheap,
especially if bought at first hand, with
out the intervention OF the middle men,
who often exact as much profit as the
first cost of the article comes to. Then
costly rather than nutritious viands are
too largely INDUCED. The Chinese can
work hard on rice. Scotchmen at home
live largely on oatmeal, and no more mus
cular, clear headed or successful men can
be found. If all of us were confined to
a simple diet of corn meal and milk, 1T
certain that at least nine-tenths OF us
would be healthier, Weather and wiser
than we are. Heating drinks and highly
favored food are costly and injurious.
They are not necessary to life, but on
the contrary are very largely destructive
of it. They STAY hundreds of thousands
annually. Their cost in money and
human sacrifices during the present luxu-
rious century is beyond computation. Ii
we could get back 4 little nearer to prim-
tive modes Of eating and drinking, the
whole human family would be gamers.
If we could, young men would no longer
have reason to complain that they can
not afford to marry. In that case a bach
elor of thirty years of age would be
looked upon as a phenomenon. That
there should be so many unmarried per-
sons is one of the worst phases of social
life of the age. With cheaper living,
every man could and should marry. 1t
would be better for the world and him
self if he did.

PEOPLE who have an idea that in
Great Britain politics are so much purer
than in the United States must be rather
disconnected by the course which the
government has thought necessary to take
in order to suppress the wholesale bribery
and corruption by which a majority of
the members Of Parliament obtain their
seats. A bill has actually been intro
duced to the House of Commons which
proposes to fix a scale of legitimate ex-
penses, graduated according to the nu-
merical Importance and character of each
constituence, and which forbids any one
to lay out more money in electioneering
than is provided by that schedule.
Things must be very bad indeed when
such a measure as that is thought to be
necessary

The New York Tribune declares that
the mania for building railroads threatens
the country with serious calamity. Un-
der present conditions there is no occasion
whatever for alarm. The fact that mill
ions of people are seeking homes in new
countries creates a demand for all the
railroads that can be built, and the re.
suit OF these migrations will make them
all profitable to their owners. Some
journalists take no account of these stu.
pendous changes, and continue to argue
upon a basis of facts that no longer
exists.
