MEAT FOR THE woRxlnemen.
Makes Muscle, Preserves Energy. and VAL

Makes Muscle. Preserves Energy, and VAL
liable for Preserving the Tissne.
A prominent Englishman who was
discussing the food value of meat to
workingmen lately, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat, said: 'DesbHe what
our vegetarian friends say, meat is
essential to the workingman. 1t makes
muscle and preserves the energy. The
Irishman of his own country is too
poor to buy much meat, and it is notori-
ous that he cannot do as much work as
he does in other countries where he is
enabled to live better. The trades
union commissioner of England has on
record the statement of a manufacturer
who has factories in Manchester, Eng
land, and Cork, Ireland, to the effect
that, although he paid wages 20 per
cent. lower in Cork than in his English
factory, the cost to him is exactly the
same. This he attributes wholly TO the
difference in diet, Several manufac-
turers in this country have observed a
marked increase in the labor capacity
of young Irishmen after few weeks
stay in this country, where meat is
served three times day at the board
tng-houses, whereas in his own country
the Irish laborer is in luck to get meat
once a day. This is an economic ques-
ton in which there is food for serious
thought for men employing labor on a
large scale, who think to save money
by cutting down wages. 1t has been
demonstrated that shortening the
hours Of labor increases the average OF
work done, and by paying wages at
which men can afford to eat plenty of
meat the manufacturer will, l believe, be
the ultimate beneficiary. Especially is
this true of concerns like iron foundries
and rolling mills, where the work is Of
an extremely arduous character, de-
handing constant renewal OF the
wasted tiasues."

ing of the national committee at 8 p. NJ.
There were many vacant seats in
the COLISEUM when the convention was
assembled. Very few Of the gold men
being present. When the roll Of states
was called for naming candidates for
vice-president, the nominating speech-
es were short and to the point, in all
requiring less than two hours. Those
whose names were placed before the
convention were Mclean, of Ohio;
Clark, of North Carolina; Fitchan, of
Illinois; Pennoyer, of Oregon; Daniels.
of Virginia, Sewell, of Maine, and
Williams, of Massachusetts,. Daniels,
Mclean and Fitchan requested that
their names be Withdrawn, and ballot

as follows:
First ballot-Williams, OF Massa-
chusetts, 76, Mclean Ill, Lewis IL,
Clark so, Fitchan /, Sewell 1OS, Sibley

telegraphed his withdrawal, as did
Bland, stating that it was not advis-
able to nominate two candidates from
the west, and the strength of both
Sibley and Bland went to Sewell on
the fourth ballott. giving him 43O, just
Is less than sufficient to nominate.
This caused stampede Co the man
from Maine. and Arthur Sewell was
declared the unanimous nominee Of
the convention amid great cheering
and wild demonstration.
This concluded the work Of conven-
tion, and at 1885 the most exciting pol
itical convention ever held In the
country adjourned sine die.

BRYAN WENT TO SALEM.
Greeted by Many Villagers Along the
Route.


SALEM, I'll. July l3.-Never before
in its history has this quiet little town
been SO ablaze as it was tonight. Or
dinarily the citizens retire for the
night by 9 o'clock. BY 10 o'clock it is
as quiet as country church yard at
midnight. There is nothing left to
compare with the stiffness that pre-
walls. Tonight, w. j. Bryan, leader
of the democratic national campaign,
native of the place returned here.
The whole town was out to meet him.
There were fireworks; red fire was
burning all along the route by which
he was conducted to the home Of his
sister He will remain for the next
two days.
When the train pulled up to the
Salem depot, there were many people
on hand ready to welcome Bryan from
all over Marion county. Mr.. and Mrs.
Began were escorted to carriage by
the reception committee, and taken
to the home OF his sister, Mrs. James
Baird.

POPS STILL WANT TELLER.

They Will Probably Not Indorse Bryan
at st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, July lathe impression
seems to be strong among local popu-
lists that if the democratic ticket
named at Chicago is indorsed by the
populist national convention on the
22d inst. in will only be after hard
fight.
"Teller is still our man." said we'll
known populist and a'silver party man,
''and watch what tell you; we will
nominate him. We figure it is best
for the silver cause to nominate Teller.
He can carry the silver republican
states and can secure more electoral
votes than Bryan. Bryan will carry
the silver democratic states, and be-
tween Teller and Bryan we count on
securing enough electoral votes to
prevent McKinley's election. If this
can be done, the electoral votes for
silver will hold together, and will se-
leet Teller or Bryan for president.

ments being made from time to time

about "a 1000, 900. The greater part OF
this has already been paid. The last
payment is to be made if everything
goes all right, five months from the
date of the acceptance OF the vessel by
the government.

subtreasury, said yesterday That the
check was the largest that had been
drawn upon the public treasury during
his administration. The payment was
made in gold coin in double eagles.

bags containing 1000 each and there
were "a of the bags of the yellow metal
when all had been counted out. The
weight of the pile was about 250l
