The Massachusetts Bureau OF Labor
has just reported, after very elaborate
Investigation into the food problem, up.
on the condition and quality of working
mems food. The principal result of the
Investigation has been to show that the
American laborer eats far more than is
necessary for his health, particularly Of
animal food and fat. Massachusetts,
workmen consume four times as much
animal food and fat as the European, and
eat Of all kinds Is per cent. more than
those across the water. The conclusion
ia that we eat more than we can digest,
and that we are the worse therefor
rather than the better.

OUR ooNNYBRooK FAIR.


The Democracy Of Texas are holding
q political DOnnybrook fair. The State
journals have all taken the advice OF the
ancient Celt to his oldest boy when he
armed him with shillaleh and sent him
forth to attend that ancient scrimmage,
"Me sun, wheniver yes see hid, hit it,"
The changes are rung on Maxey, Ross,
Terrell, Ireland, Swain and Bracken-
ridge, and whenever the head of any
supposable candidate pops up, other
than the one for which ye editor has
taken cudgels, he proceeds at once to hit
it. The Maxey fellows call Ireland
dead duck, and the Ireland claquers re-
tort on Maxey's red "sox." The Swain
papers damn Ross for free eraser and
swear that Breckenridge is corraling the
Panhandle vote to turn it over to
Ross; the Ross papers curse Bracken-
ridge for a national banker and blOated
bondholder, charge that Swain is ringing
in with the tax-collectOrs, allowing them
to use public funds for personal benefit,
and is himself using them to secure his
own nomination and election; the
Breckenridge organs claim that Ross
and Swain are going to deadlock the
convention, and some dark horse will
make the ruDning-and so on, and so on
to the end Of the chapter. 1t is rather
early in the day for the band to begin,
and II the fun grows so hot before the
convention is called what may we not
expect as the partisans get warmed up
to their work. Texas is going to
give her "wah-horses" a chance
to do some tall squealing and
kicking before the people enter
that convention corral and select their
own steed for the gubernaterial race.
There will be more rumors in the next
ninety days concerning political proba-
bilities, possibilities and positives than
there were smells in the ancient Cologne.
Imagination will run riot and challenge
invention for the most absurd and ut
terly improbable canards concerning
candidates that sectional, partisan
press ever uttered. There will not be a
candidate on the list but will be painted
deity or devil, according as friend or
an enemy holds the brush. There will
be as much mud-slinging as ink-slinging,
and more of either than will be civil or
decent. All this because the Democracy
of Texas is like a jug haAdle-all on one
side. A nomination being equivalent to
an election, the whole question degener-
ates into personal scramble OF political
and personal friends for the nomination Of
their fayorite. The only remedy for this
evil is strong osition party, and
this is very likely to be raised up in the
labor agitation now stirring the waters
of State and National politics. Astrong
minority, and evenly balanced political
parties are the safety of this government
and OF all the States that form it.

"bushwhacking journalism" in good set
terms, and gives solid reasons for the
indignation that is in him. Leaving
the question at issue in the PosI's hands,
we take this occasion to emphasize the
principles underlying this pungent edi-
tOrial of the Post. and the proposition
therein so clearly laid down that,
personal abuse and official villifiOatiOn"
never accomplished any good result. 1t
may be set forth as an accepted fact,
that such abuse presuppOses personal
enmity or a personal ambition on the
part OF the vendor to make capital at the
expense of the traduCed party. Public
men are always targets for public criti-
cism, but such criticism should be fair,
open, sincere and approved of real
conviction. In no case is it honest TO
hold the public officer responsible for
the imperfectiOns of a system of admin
istratiOn which it is beyond his power
to change, such change being solely
within the province of the Legislature.

THE BLOOD AGATE FIELDS.

Some eight miles from Cisco, on the
Grand river, large field OF stone has
been discovered, of peculiar nature
and OF variegated and brilliant hues,
which has puzzled mineralogists to
classify and which bids fair to add ma
terially to the wealth products OF the
Territory. This stone, when cut and
polished, resembles the beautiful Scotch
bloodstone, now out OF the market, and
is capitally adapted for all kinds of orna-
mental purposes and for jewelry. 1t lays
on the surface ground, from the river
back to the rising mesas, and covers
territory of some three square miles. In
no other spot along the river or in the
adjacent country has anything like
it been found, nor in the
country at large, except small
deposit, now exhausted, found in
the State OF Arkansas. Specimens have
been exhibited in the city, and pro-
nounced by jewellers as excellent for
rings, pins, etc. The great value OF the
find lies in the enormous amount OF the
material, which is in sizes large enough
to build mantels and other household
adornments, and when placed upon the
market, it will doubtless meet ready
sale. A company is now incorporated to
work this bonanza, and the gains will
accrue to the benefit Of several poor men,
who originally found it.

BLAINE AND HOME RULE.

James c. Blaine, the whilom and pros
pective candidate for President, dug him
self out OF his hole in Augusta yesterday
and presented himself to a monster
Home Rule meeting in Portland, as he
stated, to define the meaning Of the
phrase Home Rule. lie defined it as
any one OF ten thousand grammar school
scholars would do, and then improved
the occasion TO throw little bait on his
own account, or more properly speaking,
TO "cast an anchor to windward." Mr..
Blaine has the right, rs most Americans
have the pleasure, to countenance
and support the Irish people in
this their dearest wish and lifelong
hope, but he comes upon the field too
late for any good he could do them, but,
as he hopes, just in the nick OF time to
garner a harvest for himself. In the
past two years, when the friends OF Home
Rule were laboring night and day for its
success, when the political horizon was
the darkest, and when friendly hand
would have urged them on, where was
James q. Blaine? Has he ever, by
tongue Or pen, aided or comforted the
people who made that gallant fight =?
Now, when the measure is in the throes
OF nativity, when the entire American
Nation is watching the grand old man
over the water, and praying for his
success, Blaine deems the time auspicious
for the gaining OF political prestige with
Irishmen, and parades lot of stale plat
itudes to people who are hungry for
liberty, hoping to catch their votes
through their well known love OF coun-
try. 1t is, however, in consonance with
the whole life OF the man, and too trans
parent to deceive the Irish people.

THE NATIONAL BUSINESS BOOM.

So good an authority as Henry Clews,
the great New York banker, is quoted as
having said, recently:
The principal reasons for the present up
ward tendency of values are the improved
feeling among the merchants, owing to the
settlement of the labor troubles and the
probable steadiness of the labor market for
considerable time to come, the newly ac-
quired strength of the bulls financially, and
the numerical want of courage and coher-
ence amongst the bears, the formation of u
new bull combination improving the state
of the trunk line affairs to which the Wa
bash and Chicago and Atlantic have greatly
contributed, the indications of returning
railroad prosperity and the favorable crop
reports, easy money and the prospects of its
continuance for some months, the renewed
foreign interest III American securities, and
the steady demand for stocks and bonds.
Clews is notorously a gold bug OF the
most aggravated type, and represents
that class OF financial cormorants who
sink the public welfare for personal ag-
grandizement, and il he can admit the
foregoing facts as the outcome OF one
years working of Democratic admins
tration, il is but fair to assume, as he is
also Republican, that the country has
not gone to the demnition bow
vows, as the party of his financial
and political creed would have the
people believe would be the case if
Cleveland was elected. At no time in
the past has money been plentier or
easier than now, and though sections
may suffer from purely local causes, the
business channels of the country at large
are running full to their capacity, and
judicious legislation now being evolved,
will tend TO strengthen public confidence,
shaping the destiny OF Cleyeland's adj
ministration, to be one OF the grandest in
the annals OF the country.

ADMISSION OF STATES.

The Democratic House Committee says
Dakota should not be admitted until she
has n population of million and n half,
or equal to the average of the States in
1880. This proposition is simply infamous.
There are several Democratic States that
will fall short of this number. With no show
of deoency and in violation of all precedent
and fair play, the Democrats propose to
keep Dakota out of the Union just as long
as they can.-Gtuinison ReuieW-PreSS.
There are more Republican than Dem
ocratic States with less than that popula-
ton, and there are too many OF both.
The Republican State Of Nevada to-day,
after more than twenty years OF State
hood, has population, including In
dians, Cinnamon and Mugwumps, OF less
than fifty thousand. 1t has no more use
for State government than a child for Il
steam engine. There are other States
that would be far better off in Terri
torial condition, and it is high time that
some reasonable amount OF population
should be fixed upon as prerequisite to
admission. Probably the number men,
toned by the House Committee is too
large, but there is certainly not Territory
with present population sufficient to
justify it in assuming the responsibilities,
or claiming the privileges, of sovereign
Statehood. The people OF Territories are
almost invariably in as great hurry to
assume the robes OF State as boy of ten
to wear a long-tailed coat, and the gar
ments are generally worn with equal
grace and comfort Then the politicians
OF the party which will be strength
ened by couple OF United States Sem
ators and number of electoral votes,
urge the admission, and the consequence
has been the creation OF number OF
States years before their proper time.
The power OF Congress should be re-
stricted in this matter. The population
standard should be fixed by the Consti-
tuition, or perhaps by Congressional en-
actment, and it should not be less than
half million. This would prevent the
admission OF any Territory for political
purposes, which is the foundation for
the present Republican clamor in behalf
OF Dakota,

RETROSPECT.

As the labors OF the present Congress
draw near their closing hour, it is an apt
time to review the successes and disap-
pointments OF President Cleveland's adj
ministration. From the start the Presi-
dent was hampered with the enormous
task of changing the entire list oi
offices from the hands of party holding
them for twenty-four years, into the
hands OF new and untried men, who were
in accord with his political faith. II
for no other reason, the mastery
manner in which he has handled
this gigantic and intricate work, should
commend him to the thanks of the coun-
try, irrespective OF party, creed or disap-
pointed hopes. With the single excep-
ton of the Kelley affair, the whole batch
OF foreign appointments have been sue
home, though some black sheep crept
in, in the main the efforts Of the Presi-
dent have been successful. Commercial
confidence, which was seriously disturbed
pending the election, has been fully re-
stored, placing the country in her wonted
position Of leading the vanguard OF
progress. Effective measures are in
augurated for the suppression and
final extinction of the curse hanging
, over this beautiful Territory, and
measures looking to the final settlement
and adjudication OF the present conflict
between capital and labor, are now being
considered, at his personal behest, and
he will doubtless give his sanction to any
just measure which shall tend to remove
these two great evils from our midst.
President Clcveand's policy has been
from the start winning one, for the
primal reason that he has not permitted
| himself to be swerved from his course by
the ribald portion OF the press who would
rule or ruin, and because he has looked
to the fitness OF men for Office, rather
than other claims on the party.
In the matter of his appointments, the
President has in cases been wofully i'm
posed upon by men in whom he trusted
and whom he honored with high place
but in the near future these matters car
be righted and made to chime in har
mony with the whole. 1t is to be re
gretted that the financial policy OF the
Administration bears such n relative en-
nifty TO the wishes of the people at large
but when time shall have shown how
erroneous it is to fight silver coinage
when it is so near and dear to the grea
mass of the people, such an honor
able and high-minded man a.
Cleveland, may be trusted to yielt
his personal opinion to the public will.

TAMMANY's GREAT sACHEM DEAD

John Kelly, OF New York, departed
this life yesterday, adding another to the
rapidly swelling list OF those who figured
conspicuously in National affairs since
ante-bellum days. His life history would
make wonderful book, illustrating to
the world the unlimited opportunities
for men TO rise in America, and the book
should be printed in golden letters, had
he properly used the power he obtained.
Born in an obscure station in life, he be-
gan his career as stone-cutter, and was
thrown among that peculiar element in
New York City which has so long virtu-
ally controlled the politics OF the State.
In his early political days the
Great West had not attained its present
strength, and was almost powerless
TO make itself felt in National affairs,
and all jobbing in National political
matters piv oted on New York, hence to
be politician in that State, if only OF the
pot-house order, was often sufficient to
lead to considerable local prominence
Unlike most of his fellows, Kelly was
abstemious and thrifty in his habits. He
was studions and ambitious and never
allowed an opportunity to pass to in
crease his knowledge or his political hold
upon the element with which he was soin
timately associated, and which he held il
his grasp closer than any other man coult
hope to do. 1t would be idle to attemp
TO summarize his use, or rather hi!
abuse by this power, rs its effects have
been felt throughout the country TO
years, and more especially in New Gorl
State. His motto was "rule or ruin,
and he was always firebrand in th'
Democratic party. The history OF Tam
many contains more causes for the sue
cessivc defeats of the National Demo
cracy than all others combined, ant
Kelly was directly responsible for then
all. In private life he was an agreeable
gentleman, model husband and father
and true and steadfast friend.
