A CLUB of seventy-fve Irish Democrats,
who intend to support Blaine and Logan,
was formed in Troy, N. Y, on Tuesday of
this week. They invited Hon. Martin I.
Townsend to address them, but he answered
that his official duties would not permit him
to do so on the evening named, but that the
first time they marched in procession he
would address them and carry torch with
them, also. These seventy-fve will Offset
the Curtis crowd of goggle-brained fault
finders two or three times over, and some

THE order of Major Dye in relation to tho
Grecracker and pistol business on the
Fourth, and the preteuse of its enforce
ment by the police yesterday, was roar
ing farce.
From early dawn until late at night ex-
plosives were heard all over the city, and
no great effort was made to stop it.
What was Major Dyes object in issuing
the order? Did he really intend that an
effort should be made to stop the nuisance
or was there mental reservation that the
police need not be very vgilant?
If there was real purpose TO stop the
nuisance, does he not owe it to the public
to make n thorough investigation and find
out who of his officers were negligent and
faithless, for if any were faithless in this
regard they will be faithless in other mat
ters
The truth of the matter is, however, that
no real effort was made to stop the din.
The gunpowder was exploded almost uader
the very eyes of the police-certainly
within their hearing. Within three squares
of precinct in the northeastern part of the
city an almost continuous firing was kept
Dp from daylight until midnight. AZ
Second street and Massachusetts avenue q
crowd Of boys had miniature cannon
which they fired with perfect impunity a,
intervals of fifteen or thirty minutes. The
explosion could be heard four squares away
and no effort was made to stop it. It, was &
terrible annoyance to nervous people in tht
neighborhood.
We inquire again, Did Major Dye intent
that his order should be enforced, or did hi
issue it as matter of buncombe aud to de
| ceive the public?

COLONEL GRAY, Democratic candidate
for Governor of Indiana, has raised an is
sue against tho Republican party which
will stump the best of the champions of
that party. He thinks Blaine should be
defeated and he himself elected Governor,
because the doctors of Garfield did not
know "puss cavity when they saw one"
Possibly the people may not see the connec-
tion, but there is no doubt but that the
people know scab or boil when they see
one, and they will turn very gray before
they swallow anything Colonel Ike may
put forth. Ask Uncle Joe If they won't.

THE settlers in the new States and Ter
ritories, and those who think of becoming
such, should not forget the fact that this
Democratic House has done Its level best to
secure the repeal of the pre.emption aud
timber-culture acts, under which tens of
thousands ofpoor, but energetic, people FROM
the older States have secured beautiful and
productive homes, who otherwise would
have remained dependent troopers and
renters all their days. These laws may
have been abused in some cases, but their
general aesults have been emineutly bene-
fetal to the people and to the Government
also. They may need to be more closely
guarded, but should not be repealed under
any circumstances whatever. Every fam
lily that owns its own home is II new prop
to the Government and to our free institu-
tions.

Food Adulteration.

The legislatures now IN session are
busily grinding out laws to prohibit and
punish the adulterations Of food and drink.
In one bill has been introduced requir-
ing every keeper of tavern or restaurant
to put up In his house . public notice in
forming his customers whether he serves
oleomargaripe or butter. Il IL also pro-
posed to require brewers to state on their
kegs whether their beer contains barley,
malt or glucose. Other measures equally
absurd are proposed. The statute books
of most of the States are crowded with
laws for the punishment of fraud
ulent adulterations of food. but they
have proved wholly futile. In spite
of the laws this system OF fraud is ex-
tending to nearly all the food that the peo-
pie consume. There is but one practical
way of successfully combating the iniqui-
ty, and this is the establishment by the
State of chemical laboratories for the de-
lection of frauds in food. These labora-
tories, provided with competent chemists,
should be connected with the detective po-
lice of a city, as it is more important that
the rogues who cheat the people and
poison them at the same time should be
detected and punished than ordinary coun-
terfeiters and pickpockets- Two or three
laboratories in the manufacturing centers
of the State, where adulteratioRs are
prepared. would do the business. When
ever the citizen can take his
suspected purchase of bread, butter.
sugar, milk. tea. spices, vine, or
beer to the State laboratory and have it
analyzed at public cost, an effective blow
will be given to the business of adultera-
ton. II the adulteration be proved to be
poisonous, or any way deleterious to
health, it should be made the duty of the
police TO seize and destroy the whole sup
ply to which it belongs. When the adul-
teration does not iniure the health OF the
consumer, but is fraudulent cheapening
of food, as in mingling flour with sugar,
1t should be confiscated and sent to the
public institutions. Other punishment
would hardly be necessary besides the
publication of the list of the manufacture
ers of fraudulent adulterations.

Teaching the Poor to Cook.
THE CLASSES STUDYING AT THE WILSON
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.

The New York Cooking school is teach
ing cooking to young girls and women not
able to pay for their instruction. Two
Monday and Wednesday evenings, in the
Wilson industrial School, No. 125 St.
Marks place. Twelve girls attend to the
preparing and cooking, while others gath
er around, watch the details and listen to
the instruction.
The whole course of cooking each arti-
Gle is gone through. from the act of max
ing the fire to eating the cooked food.
Economy in the use of provisions is also
part of the instruction. A reporter of
The Times visited the school last night
and saw the preparation and demolition
of an Easter feast.-eggs. On black
board on the wall were the words: "Bill
of fare-Poached eggs, baked eggs,
omelet, scrambled eggs, bread" Beneath
this was an analysis of the composition of
bread. On another blackboard were writ
ten directions for preparing the egg dishes.
In the centre of the room was long table
covered with eggs, salt, butter. dishes and
utensils. On one side of the table were
20 plainly clad but bright looking girls
from II years old up. On the other side
were the directress and her three assist
ants.
The directress told the class what to do
and they fell to work on the eggs. being
closely watched and directed as to details
by the assistants. When the omelets,
poached. scrambled. and baked eggs were
all cooked, the class feasted and made
merry with them. Then they sang a song
about going to market and choosing their
meat. Then the long table was taken
away, a small one was brought. and the
mysterious operation of making bread was
begun. The ingredients were mixed ac-
cording to the directions on the blackboard
and then the girls. under the direction of
the assistants, took turns in kneading the
dough. While this was going on the d.
rectress asked questions about matters
previously studied.
"How many can tell" said she. what
to do with roast when it is first brought
homef'
Up went dozen hands. and a little
girl explained that it must be washed with
a wet towel, not put in pan of water lest
the juices be drained out of it.
''What is necessary first IN cooking it?"
.'lt must be sealed up to keep the juices
in"
What seals it?''
Heat. which terms hard ernst on the
ottside"
Yes; so you must have q hot fire and
cook it fast at first. Do you cook it

must. therefore, be cooked slowly"
Right. What nation excels us in cook
ing?"
The French"
Eyes. and how do they cooka-
Slowly"
And thus the directress went On until
the bread was kneadsd. Then the girl,
who had previously drawn the loaf by lot
took it home 10 follow 10 direeeoou which
