TaE aExr DElrooaArIc eAnDIDATE.

II from the new a Ofk 1uH*
AT the present state of the discussion
as to who shall be the extdemocrat can
didate for the presidency, the name of
Samuel j. Tilden has risen into greater
prominence than any other The repre-
| sentatives of several newspapers have
! lately visited Mr. Tilden at his home at
Greystone, and their report upon the
condition of the retired statesman s
physical vigor is such that he is once
more mentioned as candidate for 1884,
and the possibility of mis- leading the
democrats to victory is again discussed by
the press, both republican and demo-
cratic.
The sentiment among the republicans,
as expressed through the journals of that
party and through several of their politi
cal leaders, is that if Mr.. Tilden should
emerge from his retirement and appear
again at the head.of the democratic ranks.
the idea of electing their ticket in 1884
would practically disappear 1t the
democrats should offer to put in office a
man of such vast experience and of such
known wisdom as Mr.. Tilden, the great
majorities that swept away the republi-
cans last fall would be held by the demo
Gratis in the approaching campaign, and
long career of republican corruption and
the extravaganza would be finally brought
to close.
On the other hand. what an end to all
petty disgTeemefits and useless chickering's
would Mr. Tilden's nomination bring to
the dtmocratst To have once more at
their head a leader who knows and hon
ors the principles of democracy. of a
wisdom and knowledge of public affairs
far superior to men of his time, and of an
4 "a
fruit OF his political studies upon the per
verted system of our government and
make il such a democracy as was out
linedgby Thomas Jefferson! Theorists Of
every kind in the democratic party,
protectionists, free traders. men who be-
lieve in hard money or in soft money,
would all follow Mr.. Tilden's guidance,
because there would be no doubt of his
ability to deal with the mighty task of
reforming the government, and because
of their confidence in the wisdom of his
judgement when applied to all questions
of national interest.
And yet how does this candidate who
would fill the democrats with enthusiasm
and the republicans with anxiety, cores
pond with the sort suggested by various
members of the democratic party? If Mr.
Tilden is not TO lead his party in the APP
preaching contest, what must be the
principles of the standard bearer whu
shall be chosens Shall he appear as ar p
resentative mainly of the pure and equtt-
able doctrine of free trade. theory which
the immense Indebtedness of this country
must. for many years to come, render
impracticable? Or shall he be man
capable of graphing with the vital needs
of the country and ready to head the
enormous army of voters who drove out
the majority of the last congress because
of their riOtous extravaganza and indiffer
ence to the necessity of reducing the
burdens of our taxes?
This is question for genuine dem
ocrafs to think over.

The New York isealtl repurfs that
sreelnt Investigations By the German
chemists Ritthatlsen aud ]. konil have
led to important conclusions. They are
to the effect. that the nn.fitive value of
skinned milk is much higher than Is
generally supposed. According to these
authorities the price paid for the albu-
minoi.is in skinned milk is lower than
that paid for them in any of the orii-
nary foods in the market, excepting
stoek-iish. 'fhe former chemist states
that about two quarts of this milk con-
tain as much heterogeneous matter as a
pound of meat. and the latter that a
given number of nutritlve units OF the
milk cost about "A per cent less than
pork and still less than butter.
While further experiments may some
what modify these conclusions, they are
sufficiently accurate To show that the
popular prejudice against skinned milk
is unfounded provided the article is I'M
adulterated. 1t is known that the pro-
portion of fatty matter in unskimmed
milk is not more than 4 per cent, and
while this ingredient may be very neees-
sary to make the milk suitable for the
use of children and annmie persons,
there are large classes of milk consum-

milk is that of getting it pure and undi-
luted. But the same NAV be said of I'M
skinned milk.
If, however, the city authorities took
proper precautions to prevent the sale
of both when diluted and adnlterated,
the cheaper article might be safely en-
ployed on a large scale fer purposes for
which the unskimmed article is now
used. Were this done, and creamless
milk more generally used a very con-
siderable economy could &c effected by
consumers. the amount Of ere IN left for
