IOWA'S DEMOCRACY.
ssvORlTE SON NAMED FOR PRESl-
DENT At DUBUQUE.

Ex-Governor Boies Leads the Delegation Ia
Chicago - The Resolution ON Money
Which Was Adopted-A Demand for =
Labor Portfolio In the Cabinet.
DUBUQUE, Ia, May 2l.-The Democratic
state convention yesterday was silver from
every move, and the. final result is that
with the exception of delegates from two
districts the Iowa delegation to Chicago is
solid and uncompromising for the white
metal Even the districts captured by the
gold men are of no benefit TO them because
Of the adoption of an ironclad unit rule in
the instructions. The convention was not
only one Of the largest and most enthusi-
astic ever held in Iowa, but IL was also one
of the stormiest. Trouble threatened Tues
day night over the temporary chairman
ship was smoothed over and all went we'll
until the platform was reached.
Boies Endorsement Enthusiastic.
Then the storm broke and pandemonium
reigned. A dozen men were on the floor
at once all Tying to talk at the same time.
The CHAIRMAN was unable TO control them
and appeals for order from the more con-
sentative were unavailing until the dele
gates had worn themselves out. Then they
settled down to business and the white
metal men completed their victory by the
dop ton of one of the strongest platforms
adopted by any state this year. The in
dorsement of Governor Boies was enthusi-
astic, and his reception by the convention
was one of the most stirring scenes of the
day. :. : Wright, of Cedar Creek, was
made temporary chairman. In anticipa-
ton of an open protest from the silver
men Mr.. Wright had greatly modified
the speech which he intended to deliver.
Wright's Speech Against Free silver.
The trend of his address, however, was
against free silver, and his applause came
from the gold delegates. The mention of
Boies' name brought the convention to
its feet and cheers continued fully five
minutes. Intimation of Boies alleged
inconsistency was interrupted by cries of
"Boies! Boiesl' and cheers from the gold
men. Cleveland's name was also enthusi-
astically received by the gold men. Major
+. NJ. Carr was made permanent chairman
and his speech was much more radical
free silver than Wright's had been Sound
money"
Carr's Address Loudly Applauded.
Nearly every sentence of Carr's speech
was applauded, and many Of its sentiments
brought ont approving cheers Suddenly
the name of Horace Boies was mentioned
by the speaker. An instant's hesitation
and the convention broke into wild cheer
ing and calls for Boies were frequent At
ter vain attempt TO get Boies TO speak
the organization of the convention was
completed and it was ready for business.

PREPARATION OF BEEF.
G0mo Practical Suggestions Regarding the
Selection of Meat.

Selection of Meat.
Beef Is not only the most wholesome,
but the most economical meat for 9
family. In choosing good meat it is
well to be sure that the grain Is smooth
rather than open, and that the lean is
of a fresh, bright red color. The fat
should look white rather than yellow,
and In young beef, which is the more
tender, the fiber is elastic and rises
when pressed with the finger.
The prime pieces of beef are the sir
loin, the ribs and the round. The two
first are usually roasted; the brisket
and the shoulder are best for boiling or
stewing. A delicate and tender steak
Is sometimes made from the inside or
Allet of the sirloin. It should never be
pounded, which is a vain attempt to
make tough meat tender by bruising it's
hbers. If beef is intended for boiling.
It Is usually rubbed over with little
salt. A tablespoonful of vinegar add
ed to the water will render 1t quite
tender.
The loss of weight In cooking meat
"a from one-fifth to one-third, which
Is chiefly water, and beef shrinlks con-
siderably less than some other kinds
of meat. Lean beef contains ~ per
cent. of water, and fat beef 81 per cent.
Roast beef is digested in three hours;
salt beef requires four and q quarter to
four and a half hours.
The great point in cooking meat is
to render it tender without extracting
the juices, and it is better to cook it
slowly, so that the loss shall be only
water. But it should first be subjected
to a high heat, thus coagulating the
surface albumen so as to retain the
juices.
The usual time for roasting is calcu-
lated at quarter of an hour for each
pound Of meat, and It should be fire.
quently basted. When serving, the
dish should be handsomely garnished.
