How the Various HationnIities Feed

/ HOW Inc kNf1ONS nVtlOuNilticB cCN
ThemseIves-Odd Entables.
A Briton is so welded to his beef
and his beer, and that pudding which
is the Nemesis Of his race, that he is
apt to imagine that those who feed
themselves on anything else are, take
them at their best, but poor creatures.
We have hardly yet done laughing at
the Frenchmen who eat frogs and fat
ted snails, or ceased to ridicule the Ger
man who loves boiled sausage and
sauerkraut, beer soup, and mutton
chops with anchovy sauce, and is far
lost to the sense of gastrunomic pro-
portion as to end his meal with 4 salad
Of potatoes and raw lerrings. That
eminent ciceione and Judge Of good din
ners, Prof. Ford, stigmatized Spain as
the "Erebus of gastronomes," though
why it is hard to say, fer whena Spal-
lard chooses to cook without the fear
of the Grilsgo before his eyes, he can
turn out a very fair repast. No doubt
many people have Il prejudice against
beans and red pepper three times Il day,
and do not take kindly to cuLtlc-ish in
any form, which proves that they have
never dined with Il Hawaiian, other
wise they would have been offered it
raw and writlling fresh from the coral
pool. Ii the scarcher for culinary va
riety goes further aiield, he may eat
seal in Greenland, learn to appreciate
young burgomaster gulIs as titl-bits
comparable with cartridges, to relish
whalesllin boiled to jelly, and when
the days are cold and the sun getting
low, to value mess of blueberries
from the fields, enriched with train oil
and eaten as the dessert to Il heavy
meal of walrus beef, and the half di-
gested contents of IL RENDERS palnch.
Or, if the faith is Of the kind by
which mountains are moved, lie
may fare sumptuously on herring roe
with the Indians of Vancouver Island,
on raw sea urcllns with the Terra del
Fuegians, on grasshoppers and gam
mas roots with the Diggers Or Mes
Percez. on snakes with the Australians,
or on the huge "Matlametlo" frogs-as
big as chickens and as good-with the
Bechllanas. We object to the South
Sea Islanders gorging on the ''palolo,"
that green marine annclid which APP
pears and disappears so mysterlously;
but we have no objections to periwink-
les in the shell. We shudder at green
garter snakes, and yet rejoice over cells
stewed in port wine. We find raw oys-
tiers agreeable to the palate, but have
no words to express our opinion of tile
barbarians outside orr gates who pre-
fer their salmon slightly smoked, their
ham unlocked and their cod simply
sailed. Americans will be horriIied as
some traveller tells tale Of people who
prefer their food to be practically car
rion. Yet these same people will eat
game, and probably cheese, SO "high"
that no savage would touch it. Finally,
though they would scorn to make Il
meal off the grasshoppcr with the tribes
men of the Sierra Nevada, or off To-
Gusts with the Arabs Of Algeria, they
will never hesitate to enjoy honey
comb and all.

A Disgraceful Scene,
rom az Rnltimore Herald.

From the Baltimore Herald.
The scene in the United States Senate on
Tuesday last during the wordy contest between
Senators Ingalls,, of Kansas, and Voorhees,,
of Indiana, was not only disgraceful to the
participants, but was a reproach to the entire
country. For short while the prevailing
vulgarity was without precedent, and epithets
were used such as were never before heard in
the august body which is supposed to repre-
sent the Legislative dignity of this great coun-
try. Such terms as ''liar," ''scoundrel,"
''lying seoundrel'' and ''dirty dog were
banded about as if the scene had been laid in
some pot house instead ofthe Senate chamber
at Washington,
As to the merits of the debate outside of
the shocking personalities that were INDUCED
in on Tuesday little can be said to the credit
of either of the speakers. 1t was expected
that the speech of Mr. Ingalls, would be char
aeterized by that incisive wit which usually
makes his speeches interesting, but even that
element was lacking, and the effort of the
Kansas Senator was distinguished more for
its foreclosures than for any other quality.
Of Mr.. Voorhees, it can be said that he de-
scended into rudeness of expression Of
which lie was deemed to be incapable, and
that his display Of passion was painfully snr-
prising to his friends and disgusting to the
country. The fact is that both OF these Sena-
tors are noted for their Feasibility of temper,
and Tuesdays tilt was just such an occasion
as we calculated to make them go at each
other without either discretion or decency.
The Baltimore american says of Mr.. In
CALLS attack upon Gems. Hancock and Nc
Clellan;-We think it would have been in
better taste TO have omitted the charge that
Mcclellan was in sympathy with the enemies
of the government when he was in command
of the army, as there is really nothing to sus-
tain it, and his failure to achieve success can
be accounted for in simpler and more rea.
sonable way.

Political Notes.

The Democ ratio State Convention of New
HAMPSHIRE was held in Concord on Tuesday.
The delegates to the National Convention
were not Instructed, but they are all for Cleve-
land. The resolutions adopted endorse the
national administration; approve President
Cleveland message to Congress on the sub
iect of tariff reform and the reduction OF war
taxes.
The Young Mems Democratic Association
in New Orleans preseated to the States news
paper, Saturday night, magnificent pair of
moose antlers, spreading nearly siR feet in
the clear, in recognition of the service rem
dered by the paper during the recent political
campaign, which resulted in the overthrow of
the old city ring, which had been in power
many years.
The outlook for Democratic U. S. Senate
in 1889 is very promising. Of the holdover
Senators the Democrats and Republicans have
each twenty-five. Of those already elected
or to be elected thirteen come from each
party. The sure Democratic states Alabapa,
Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia. Kentucky,
Louisiana, West Virginia, Mississippi, North
Carolina. South Carolina. Tennessee, Texas,
with Virginia. will give the Democrats, with
twenty holdovers, exactly thirty -eight votes
one half of the Senate. To have a majority
they must elect another Senator from Colo
RADIO. Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode
Island, or if they elect a vice president or
carry New Jersey they would have clear
majority.
The Democratic State Conyeption of Con-
necticut was held in Hartford on Wednesday.
Delegates to the National Convention we're
elected, aud they were given power to appoint
their own substitutes. They we're instructed
for Cleveland. The resolutions adopted en-
dorse the Democratic national platform of
1884; approve the demand for readjustment
of the tariff and a reduction of revenue; de-
mand that large surplus IN the JIG; Treas
ury shall not be permitted; commend the work
of the present administration in restoring the
navy: invite liberal citizens of whatever past
party predictions to join in re- electing Pres
ideut Cleveland and carrying ont the reforms
naugurated by him By which corrupt ring
power has been defeated.

Storms and Floods.

A telegram from Eau Claire, Wisconsin,
Monday night, says the food has driven about
$50 families from their homes. The APP
proaches of three bridges are covered with
water and are impossible. Porterville, below
Eau Claire, is flooded and deserted. The
inhabitants are camped in sheds and ware
houses. The greatest loss thus far is to the
Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad, and to the
partly submerged saw mills. 1t was showing

The same thing precisely is applicable to

not heard of irf our legislation and are not
deserving of our care, but the seventh one is
an "American laborer," whose welfare en-
cages all the powers of craftsmanship, and
who must be made comfortable if it takes
half the wages of all other common workers
who labor in the open air. In addition to all
this it must be remembered that if you raise
the price of labor by means of increasing the
price of its products, the purchasing power of
the laberer's money is not increased, and he
is Just where he started. If a workman at

shoes to $3.50 by tariff, in order to pay the

lieves the workman to be. But they constant
ly tell us that everything in America is as
cheap as it is in Europe. If this be true
and it's not-then it is proofpositive as reason
can furnish that labor is not high, but only
because it is effective. Yet their argument is
absolutely dependent on the theory that pro-
lection increases the price Of home products
and 'enables" manufacturers to pay higher
wagesl 1t is everywhere and at all times the
staple of every appeal to the American pe0-
pie, and it is lie, because it is simply i'm

DR.. shaw's Speech.

In our issue of Saturday last, we spoke in
commendatory terms of Hon. Frank I. Shaw s
soeech on the Tariff, delivered in the House
of Representatives, on the 18th nlt We
publish the speech, in full, in this issue Of
TIE ADVOCATE, and ask for it careful and
attentive pernsal. Let every reader who de-
sires to increase his knowledge on this i'm
portant subject, fix ia his mind the facts and
arguments with which it abounds. DR.. Shaw
has bestowed much labor and research upon
It. His arguments are clear aud cogent, and
throw abundant light on subject but imper-
fectly understood by the masses. No one
will rise from its perusal without better I'M
derstanding Of the tariff and its effects upon
the country.
As an evidence of the estimation an which
DIR. Shaw's speech is held by his fellow mem
beers, it may be stated that it has attracted
more attention among the members Of the
House than any speech on the subject yet de-
livered; that 10, GOO copies have been ordered
by Hon. VIM. NJ. Springer, Of Illinois, for
distribution in his district, and that Hon. VIM.
p. G. Breekinridge, of Kentucky, has pso-
uouuced il the ablest and best speech on the
tariff vet delivered.
