MONDAY EVENING, JUNE Is, 1896.

ONE OF the two great national par
ties of the country will hold its quad
rennial convention this week at st.
Louis, in which city most of the dele
gates to it have already assembled for
the purpose of nominating President
ial ticket and of framing q platform
upon which that ticket shall stand.
There will be little or no trouble about
the former, but the latter will be the
rub, not that the strait is DISTRACTED,
but that the captain and pilots are tim
orous, and fear that in their extra Of
forts to avoid the dangers of Charybdis,
they may run into those of Scylla, and
thus wreck their ship, and that, too, in
q sea filled with pirates, so that few OF
those on board will ever reach the
shore in safety. Mr.. Mckinley is
afraid to say whether he is for gold or
silver money, lest he lose the votes OF
those members of his party who may
not agree with him on the currency
question, and the same fear affects his
managers, and so, to avoid the dreaded
risks, he and they are striving to make
platform which both gold and silver
men can support, or rather, one with
which they can dupe and deceive the
gullible people, who compose the vast
majority of the voters of the country,
upon whose ignorance and stupidity
they presume, and, unfortunately for the
latter, not without good reason. But.
still, there are people, who are not
demagogues, though it must be said
they have neither the sense nor the
moral courage to be such, who really
favor unrestricted suffrage.

foe, by both hemispheres; in fact,
mutton and beef from Australia and
Argentine were also among the staple
articles, and Cuba and Florida had sent
some of the choice tropical fruit.
This Central market hall on Alexan-
der square is an immense place, solidly
constructed-with successful at
tempt at architectural beauty-of
cream-colored brick, terra Gotta, iron
and glass, and large enough to hold
some $4,000 stalls and buyers to the
number of 100000. Being located in

this centralzing Of sale and purchase
really has the effect of cheapening

that outside the city, in the suburbs,

There was time, and that not many
years ago, when the market hall facil-
tiles of Berlin, Munich and other large
German cities were far from satisfac-
tory. At that time the magnificent
market halls of Paris, especially the
Centrale, were looked upon with envy.
To-day Berlin is supplied with such
public halls for the purpose of domes-
tic provender in a manner second to
none in the world. The immense Cen
trail cattle yards and abattoir in the
extreme eastern part of the city form
g. part of the system. The meat and
fish supply radiating thence is admira-
bly, adapted to all the needs of the city,
and corps of trained and efficient city
employees is overlooking the manage

plots of a large description are discov-

tion to try and dispose of unhygienic
foodstuffs is, however, so strong in a
city where meats and all other neces-
earies of life range so high in price,
that new attempts of the kind are con-
tinually made, and hence the watch
fulness of the city food police is never
relaxed for moment. Every carcass.
every fowl, every fish has to pass this
official scrutiny before being admitted
to barter and sale, and each piece is
plainly stamped with the city seal.
Only a fortnight ago a large plot
was unearthed, in which a band Of
wholesale cattle dealers and wholesale
butchers were the culprits. Their

Municipal care, however, does not
only comprise the marketing of food
stuff; it extends to the careful exam

wholly to the vigilance of the city
hygiene department. A number of ex-
pert chemists and hygienists are busy
all the time examining samples of
every kind of material offered any

public sale. This includes not only
milk, fruit, vegetables, but spices, cof-
fees, teas, condiments, pickles, pre-
serves, bread, cake, fiour-in short,
everything which in either shape finds
its way subsequently into kitchen and
upon the table. For the past year the
percentage of adulteratioHs in all those
articles of food has been about two,

adulterations and falsifications about
one-half of one per cent. Offenders
have in every instance been promptly
