E. A that comes to the mind of ono who for the first time contemplates the vegetarian regime is toat ho will either starve to death in a short tima or else stretch out a depleted existence on an insipid diet of bread aud milk. I had j'it soch apprehensions when my visions fi-st became vegetarian. 1 became a vegetarian for ethical reasons beforo 1 knew thera were other vegetarians in tno world and I was enthusiastically dubious about its possibilities. 1 know now that my apprehensions were tlmsa of ignorance.

The variety of fruits and vegetables is so bewihioring. cially in a market lik? that of Chicago, and the modes and possibilities of their preparation are so nearly numberioss that the most exacting epicure may bo satisfied. Wo. sit down to our breakfast table in tho morning and there comej before us a bovri of oatmeal witu cream, or it may be barley Hakes, or wheat groats, or some other of the dozens of farinaceous preparations. Instead of this we may begin our bri aktast with a piate ot fresh fruit or a tempt nig di-h of fruited toast or inttors.

Alter this may come egs ia some of the inuitip-o ways in which they arj served, wheat cakos or muSiiis with maple sirup, a baked apple. Saratoga chips, and We.sh rare, hit. with cocoa, coffoo, and intik as beverages. Our luncheon is at 1 clock, and may be of chopped cabbagn with oiive-. spaghetti with cbe.isa, corn broad, sultana nuts and raisins, baked squash and milk.

At dinner we have onr soups and croutons, sweet or Irish potatoes. Bostou baked neons, mushroom croquettes or cauliflower, sliced tomatoes, and celery, with a desserr tif strawberry siiort-cake. The menus of no two days aro alike nnd in the elaily preparation of the mpntH caro is taken to furnish symmetrical amounts of tho albuminoids, caruo-hye! rales, minora. s. To one living on such a beautiful aud ample diet for a few weeks or moutUs, uio fit-sii tearing performances he sees around him become not ocly unnatural but disgusting and horrible.

The vegetarian regime is adapted not only to the stuilent but to the manual laborer as well. A breakfast of oatmeal and milk, a couple of eggs, graham mullius aud butl ter. and a nice cli banana is much more civilized, nutritious, and economical than a braakfast in which bloody beef plays chief role. The most brilliaut burden-bearers ed the world todav am from choice or necessity vegetarians. The Turkish 'longshoremen, perhaps the most powerful bipods of the planet, are life-long vegetarians.

So also are largely tno peasantry of Russia, Germany, and even of Norway and Sweden away from the seaeoasr. ''he dauntless Dvloum, tho courageous Japanese, and the redoubtable Chinese coolies are ad vegetarians. The nutritious qualities of vegetables, nuts, and grains aro every where underrated. Tlia eielusion that meat is the oniy genuine source of human energy has become so constitutional that it actually disturbs tho respiration of the uninitiated to be told that meat compared with many vegetables is a very dilute form of nutrition that even in albuminoids, in the supply of which meat is supposed to bo rather exclus. re, there are vegetable, nuts, and grain hich far exceed mutton cncps and steaks.

Fish, f.ir instance, contains 13 percent of albuminoid-1, pork an average of 1H ptr cent, and bef 17' per while nuts furnish from to 25 per cent, grains from 7 to 15 per cent, efgs 1 4 per ct-ni. cheese 20 por ce peas 22 per cent, lentils 'io per cent, and beans from 22 to 35 per cent. Some may wonder what couid substituted for iard for culinary purposes. We use cotton oil. I is much nwre gaut and economical thnn hog fat.

We buy it for 50 cents a gaiion and use it for all tho purposes of cooking, even to the preparation of pastries. This hsautiful vegetal oil is so much superior to tha animal fats, in its appeals to both tho pal'Ue and tiie purse, that it onlv needs to me known to everywhere supplant them. To any ono contemplating the vegetarian regime. I wi.l say You may at first encoun-oppiobnum and seme slight inconvenience from the change. Hut persist.

The inconvenience will disuppeur as suraiy us time passes, and in tne course of a few weeks there will coma over you a fejiing of elegance and superiority, of buoyancy and enspness. that will remind you of the days of boyhood and gir.hnod. You will feel clarified and refined. Your brain will be more obedient, you will ba heartier and healthier, can sleeo better, and do mora than ever beforo. This iias been my experienca and tho experience of dozens eif others with whom I havo associatoJ during the last year.

in closing I cannot refrain from saying that I am a vegetarian not so much for tho benefit of myself as for tiie benefit of the creatures whoso corpses I would otherwise gnaw. It will be a vast moral and economical advance when tho creatures of this world derive their protoplasm directiy and naturally and painlessly from the kingdom of the plant instead of by swallowing each cither.

Editor of the Every year or two some isliort-sighted crank announces to the worJil that J. Wilkos Booth has been seen in the Mesh or heard from in some remote part of the world. To any one who is acquainted with all the facts in relation to the death and burial of the assassin, such silly rumors are tiresome. The indisputable facts that wers brought out and sworn by at least a score of soldiers and citizens at the provost post mortem trial loft no room for any doubt whatever the corpse before the provost jury was that of J. Wilkos Booth.

And this, added to the further fact of his body being buried at midnight by trusted soldiers, sworn not to divulge the location of the grave, which was ten feet deep and contained fifty pounds of quicklime, precludes the idea that flesh and bouos can sur-vivo such summary treatment.

and its course along the line of the drainaga canal, and carrying 300.000 cubic feet of water por minute, would Lockport or Joliot or anybody pIho along its banks consent to have it dammed and turne.i into the lake? I have an idea the sewage of Chicago or the greater Chicago would not under such circumstances ba considered so great a nuisance as it now seems to be. 1 do not call to mind the estimated horie-power of the drainHgo canal, but, bo it more or less, one thing is certain, it would be utilized sooner or later, and being uniform in its How it would be far as a power to the ordinary river of corresponding average How. 1 would like smna va.iey man Jac 1 hey started in to talk reaction before one week of buoyancy had been witnessed, and tho higher prices have gone the more as Do pfd FINANCIAL MATTERS IN LONDON. More Active Trading and Some Sharp Ad-vanee Insiders Are the Ret hut the Tublic Is Showing Increasing 1 nterest Miarp and Sustained Advance in Wheat Trade Is Itroadening and Old Traditions Are ISeing Forgotten Other Commercial New. The week saw mors distinct improvement in the local speculative markets than has been recorded in the same length of time in months before.

The local stpck market was exceedingly slow to catch the spirit of returning confidence and speculative interest that has been shown in New York for wmo time. It has caught it at last, however, and the' trading for the week has been active, while quotations show marked ad-an -es throughout the list. Those who are r.ot in sympathy with the advance charge that the activity is manipulated; that the public is not deeply interested, and that the strength is largely the result of operations of insiders. There is much truth in the statement. The public has not yet shown much interest in the market, but with each point advance and with each day of active trading that interest is increasing.

The advancing quotations can without doubt be traced largely to the Influence of insiders, who have been persistent buyers not only of the street railways but of a number of other stocks. Instead of using that fact as proof that the higher prices are not warranted, it would perhaps be wise to examine the situation and see if the buying by insiders lias not been because they have a clearer idea of the improvement in the situation than the public. Any improvement in the situation is more quickly reflected in the earnings of the f-treet railways than in the operations of any of the other companies, and improvement there has been sharp. The record so far this month shows remarkable increases by the stifft railway companies. The City railway is reputed to ba showing gains in the neighborhood of a day.

Tho increase in the business of the "West Sid has been ranging between and a day. The North Side has shown a sharper Kain in proiiortion to its capital than either of ti-other roads, ii increases running aa hish as a day: All of that oilers substantial ground for lioiief ulness, not only regarding the street railway properties themselves but In regard to the situation, for such great improvement in street railway traffic means a gain in the general industrial activity of the city. Whether or not this increase in the earnings oi the street railway companies UM'ioient to offset some of the conditions wnich to depress quotations a lew months ago is the debatable qu. stion in the market, and opinions are at a sharp enough vaii-iirce to make two sides to the contest. KesUits in market last week favored the bulls.

the Kfc-ei railway stocks closed at the highest prices for the week and marked substantial gains as co.rpfaied v. ith a week ago. The elevated securities have been neglectd. Ol-liclal announcement was made that the Iake hlieet Klevated company will not be leased to the Northwestern Klevated. It is admitted, however, that there is some consideration for the North-western's guarantee, but officials of the companies decline to make ublic that consideration.

The kiia.1 deposited uiider the bake Street agreement now exceed To per cent of the total issue. The fiork has been fairly lirm, and the bonds have advanced. The Metropolitan is expected to begin il -rations this week. Quotations for the securities of that company have just about held their own, with little trading. There had been little interest in Alley Klevated securities.

The traffic of the conianv is exceedingly satisfactory. It runs up occasionally to oO.Oimi, and promises to average Womet timer more than 4j.innn'or the month. -o 1 1 42i orj't, 77 I 27 ii lOO 17(4, N. A. AC DO ntd iiili nti'ti 20 77 7 2H- 12i 29 a 2 11H-V 9V Long Island Trac.

It then provides for the coinage of half eagles and quarter eagles containing the proportionate quantity of gold. And then, finally, it also provides for the coinage of "dollars or units, each to be of the value of a Spanish milled dollar, as the samo is now current, and to contain 371 grains and four-sixteenths parts of a grain of pure, or 416 grains of standard silver." Now. it is true that the only coin provided for which shall contain just the value of one unit, no more nor less, is tho silver dollar.

But it is likewise true that by that statute several coins are provided for are multiples of the "unit," and which are to be coined ot go'd of a certain fixed, defined qnantity. In other words, the statute fixes that a certain quantity of gold shall be ten units." it requires the stupidity of a Coin to deny that one-tenth of that quantity of gold is one And, as shown above, the fact that no one-unit gold pieces are to be coinad does not in the least militate against that position. As well Hi-gtio that, because no one-mark cold pieces are provided for by the German law, the German unit of money is net settled upon goid, but upon silver. The reason hy Germany's one mark pieces aro coined of silver lsquite obvious. The coin would bo too small jf marie of gold.

Even a $1 gold piece would be a very small coin, and that was certainly one of the reasons why tiie statute of 1702 did not provide for its coinage. But the unit mav exist, as we have seen, though the coins provided for may bo oniy multiples of that unit. To further test Coin's assertion that under the lawot 1702 silver was the only unit of value: Suppose thut after providing for the coinage of eag.es, ougies. and quartcrengiestlio statute had merely provided for subsidiary coins of copper or soma other metal, but had omitted the provision about tho silver dollar, would we have been without a "unit" of value? Would not gold have been tho If 247 4-8 grains af pure gold aro equal tn "units," as the statute savs, how much of gold is one unit? It is to ha hopod that even the 10-year old boy, called Coin, can answer this simple problem in arithmetic. SuiMrxn Zeislek.

The answer is pertinent and dmplete.

fEiitor of The Trib-une. -l note with interest the many items appearing in Northwestern new spapers regarding free romago silver, also tho iteration and reiteration of what is called a ratio of lis to lol," etc. If I happen to dinar with many pood friends who feel like joining in that insensate clamor 1 hopo I will not ba put down as a Wali street gold bug" simply because I am spending a feY, weeks here engaged in business matters in this fainjus money center of our country. It must ba conceded all good citinas am equally entitled to au independent expression of opinion on financial questions. As a lover of my own State ot Iowa, having baon identiliad vith it for a quarter of a century.

1 would liate to learn that our people would bo willing to enter into any scheme that would impair er upset State and National credit- From a moral, commercial, and a scientific standpoint ail meu who stop tn think must admit we must adopt soma one standard of value by or from which an proJuctsof i tie the mine.or the workshop must be measured. Tnrough the centuries gold lias baeu rejogaizei as tne one metal po-sesing unvarying intrinsic value and capacity for measuring all articles of commerce. Ail of this, howevjr, uas state 1 so often and so clearly that i do not desire to dwell mucl. upon tiiis question, uiidertuiciug to thrash out old straw. As I see it, however, I am obliged to suggest, if gold is to lose its character as a representative of values, then we must substitute as our new standard metal.

We canuot hava both goid and silver ou an equal basis. Wo can have as much si.vcr as peop-o seem to demand, hut to. fee used, however, only upon one of wo alternative; plans: First, its usa in this country, us in other countries, as a subsidiary coin or as token money or. second, at its full face va.uo. by putting into what wo call a doliar a full dollar's worth of silver.

Lust year tlia ratio in thi latter case was ab.rMt 2s to 1 this year about 20 to next year it may lie 24 to 1. Bat the arbitrary fixing of a ratio of 1T or 10 to 1. in view of the steady and increasing output of silver, not only iu Norm AtnT.ca but in many either countries, presents innumerable difficulties, if silver coinage mints re to bo opened up ud jib. along uio iiui-s suggested by tue men who are seeking to intiata values. The people wuo are most interested in obtaining sound money are the wage-earners, the farmers, and the merchants.

Take the corn crop of Iowa of 1S03 (not last year scorched product) and in round figures uieru was raised bushels. Call the price HO cents per bushel on tho average and that moans 00.000,000 from that singie crop. The entiro output of the silver mines ot this country for tne same year did not equal that sum. If my memory serves me right the silver output for that year amounted to about 50,000,000. Wou.d the Iowa farmers have got 50 cents bushel for their corn when they saw the price fixed in Liverpool on the foreign goid basis at net 4S cents per bushel delivered at that remote point by rail and ocean in competition with the corn from other countries? The dairy products of Iowa in 1803 (according to Mr.

Tupuer's figures) amounted to 87.000.000. as agaiust the gross earnings of a.i tue Iowa railroads of the same year amounting to $33,000,000. Was not the butter and cheese of our Iowa farmers paid for in gold coin? Today tue boom iu catuo brings for the best iteors to $00 per head. This represents-three years' patient, hard work of the stock-raisar. Are not tue st icrs paid for in good solid gold or its equivalent? The cattle raiser is not asking for cheap money at present, but he is anxious to increase his annual output of export beef at highest current prices.

It seems to me across misconception is growing up everywhere as to the functions and use of money. Bushul baskets full of cheap money won't do us any good unlets we can put ourselves to work and get everybody profitably employed. It is the stagnation of enterprise and the hoarding ef money today that is ut the bottom of our trouble. AU the quack, money nostrums won't cure us. If too much ranting, rockiess vaporing about Shylocks goos on.

the tendency will be to harden the heart of the average thrifty American citizen, who will simply hang on to his funds until ha sees which way the wind blows. The big banks thut hold sei much cash today are not the owners of the money, so widely advertised and pointed'at. The bank is merely the responsible custodian of other people money. If the Western people could only realize, for instance, that right here, within a stone's throw frenn tho writer, thera are several millions of money on deposit in hard coin belonging to the citizens and bankers of the States of Illinois.

It was by no means a boom in any line, hut a steady and gratifying increase ill the volume of business, with a few exceptions. Farm products sold on South cropped out about financial and industrial iiffairs.

In the first place, the gain of over specie and legal tenders by the New York banks during the last three weeks shows clearly that there are vast sums of money in the country awaiting profitable investment. It also means that bankers and operators who are buying securities freely will be able to carry them 011 very easy terms, which is no small item when a bull campaign is in progress. The dissipation of all fears in regard to the Treasury position and the fact that business interests will not be disturbed for eight months or so by tinkering with the finances by Congress have added to the good feeling, but the main factor is the revival of trade ami manufactures and the great advance in raw products, which add vastly to the material wealth of the country. Reports are received from nearly all sections that mills and furnaces are resuming operations, and that in many instances labor is meeting with better-reward, wages being advanced voluntarily. These things augur well for the future and have made a deep impression, which will continue to grow if nothing serious overtakes the crops.

So far as the talk about the drought in the winter wheat region is concerned it should be taken with many grains of allowance. Up to the present time, according to those who make a close study of the crops.nothing has occurred to occasion alarm, and dry weather might continue a while longer without endangering the harvest. It is to be remembered, too, that Chicago Is bulling wheat and has everything to gain by getting up a crop scare. Stock operators are viewing the antics of their Western friends with great unconcern, and expect that those who sell stocks on the" strength of the rise in grain are very apt to come out at the wrong end of the horn. Kevival of Interest General.

The current speculation differs from sry that has preceded for a long time past. The revival of interest is general. London has taken a leading hand in it and Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Boston, Chicago, St. Louis, and other cities on this side are contributing, their quota to the business transacted at the New York Stock Kxchange. The short interest in Americans in London had been greatly underestimated, as is shown by th- heavy purchases made for foreign account for several weeks.

According to reliable authorities there is much covering yet to be done for Ixmdon as well as home speculators. Not only this, but the buying for London account is on a more extensive scale, low-priced stocks and bonds being the special favorites. 1 The purchases of Northern racific. Kansas and Texas Southern railroad, and other issues for London and the continent were a conspicuous- feature of the week's transactions. The active demand for the first named concurrently with the return of Sir.

Yillard to this country is regarded as evidence that the former President of the company has a hand in the movement. After the experience of the security-holders of the Northern Pacific under the Yillard regime it goes almost without saying that to reinstate him-silf will be impossible without a severe struggle. It is intimated in certain quarters that the statements' put out that the reorganization committee represents Mr. Ail-lord are intended to hamper the latter in his operations to rehabilitate the property by getting away the support of those who are materially opposed to the former management of the company. The demand of the Reading for 21 percent of the allotment, and the opposition of the other companies to this proposition, kept the coal shares feverish, and they closed with small net losses.

The bears, nevertheless, are timid about extending their short lines, even in this group, as powerful banking interests are known to lie in favor of peace, not only between the coal roads, but the railways generally.

The very great majority of our States appear to thrive under just such disaster, for it must be remembered that this State stands with that email minority that lias either not so far advanced, or notsD far retrograded, as to adopt the changes proposed. The second proposed change provides that pleadings shall contain a plain and concise statement of the material facta constituting the claim or defense. Opposing this it is stated that the common law system, with its positive statemont and counter statement, its categorical denials and precise affirmations, is the most superb piece ot machinery that has ever been devised to elicit the real point or points of difference between litigants." A more magnificent eulogy on common law pleading could hardly be conceived, certainly a worse slander upon code pleading could not bo stated. The object of the proposed change is to accomplish just what is claimed for common law pleading. But what is tho fact, not as to this ideal common law pleading, but as tne same actually exists in this Stater The lawyer tills in a printed blank containing the common counts alleging every conceivable form and manner ot indebtedness, la other words, he prnpares a sort of legal drag-net and if anything there is that it will not catch it has not yet been discovered.

It will land either a whale or a pollywog. but what, under such a pleading, the defendant is really sued for, the pleading itself furnishes insufficient data for a guess. It tits as well an overdue wash bill as an overdrawn bank account, and under it one may with eqnal facility recover for stolen money or for the price of board and lodging. Such is the so-called excellent system in regard to which it is suggested that Chief Justice Fuller express himseif; but why pass by the barber and butcher's clerk if only opinion as to change from such system be desired?

They are simp. shrewd, honest, upright bankers and patriotic to a high degree. It is true that in railway circles there is a good deal going on that looks bad on the surface, but the people who play the game of "catch, as catch can" are usually exploiting the sliare-ovners of tho corporations, but this does not affect the working classes.

No matter whether a railroad pays dividends or not, or even if it goes into the hands of a receiver, the employes get their pay year in and year out just the same. The main point I want to make in connection with the foregoing is this: The plain. honest people of Iowa and tnewhoie Northwest are sound at heart and unusually clear of brain. In my judgment, it would bo most unfortunate if they were befogged or befooled by illusory, chimerical financial schemes, that if carried out would re-suit disastrously in tire end. No uncertain sound should be in a crisis soon to be upon us.

In the history of all civinzedcountries the periods of depression have been characterized by periods of monetary juggling. Accumulated capital will always take care ot itself and eiiscount in its favor any proposed wildcat scheme. In the end the less informed and the toiling masses will got hoistad on their own petard if tney join in and aid irrational currency tinkers. 1 am one of the plain people myselt, and am with the plain people in heart and spirit, favoring a dollar worth 100 cents, the American dollar to be at par in every shop and store throughout the country and in every port throughout the world.

Their in-lluence being thrown to the bull side means a great deal, and undoubtedly has induced many operators to take hold who otherwise might have given the market onlv lukewarm support.

While a reaction is likely to occur at any time there seems to be little apprehension on this score, as so many stocks are still selling 10 to points helow the figures brought by them in good times.

Chicago, April 20. (Editor of The Tribune. The consternation caused by the rise in the price of meat is all unnecessary. There is no reason in the world why human mammals may not keep np as successful and interesting an existence without ox hips as with them. In fact, after a careful study of the science of foods and a personal experience of many months allow me to assert with a good deal of enthusiasm that physiological integrity may be much more accurately sustained by a judicious diet of fruits and vegetables than by a diot in which flash is a distinguished constituent.

1 In an interview ex-SpeakerCrisp kivos his views of tho coming Presidential campaign, lie says: From the time of the Tariff Commission of 1880 down to a year aco tariff reform had its varying fortunes, resulting at last in a revision acceptable to too people. Its disposition clears the way for the settlement of the silver question, now fully before us. It will ba the one issuo next year, and it must be settled, not by evasion, but openly." "The majority of both parties is in favor of tho free coinage of silver. They are behind the free stiver movement and tliey will push it on to success and have silver reestablished to its old equality witii cold. "This great financial question will be settled by tho Democratic party in the next campaign.

The rehabilitation of silver will be tho controlling issue upon which democracy will appeal to the people. Tho platform to be adopted in 189(5 should be so plain that even a school boy may understand it. Its platform should declare for the freo- coinage of silver. We should select some good man from the West, some man with a military record, and go forth with confidence to the victory which tiie people will give those who are brave enough to fight for it. "The only fear 1 have is that the free silver people, who are the majority, may divide into factions, running two or threo candidates, in which event the election would be thrown into the House, where the Republicans would be elected.

"Such a contest as I have outlined would causo many people to make new party alignments. There are Democrats strongly wedded to the gold theory and manv Republicans jut as strongly wodded to free silver. Of course there is a contingency in which the people might not be called upon to settle the question. That is the possible action of an international conference. That would be the best and easiest method of reestablishing silver and with less of the element of experiment in it." Corporation of Hie Week.

Chicago, April 26. Editor of The Tribune. -Coin's argument as to the unit of value under the law of 17i)2 is so foolish that it is quite fitly put into the mouth of a 16-year-old boy lecturer on finance. Had it been credited to a person of mature years, the less charitable construction that the fellow maliciously perverts the truth would bo inevitable. What is meant by the term "unit" is simply the basis for reckoning in money.

Some governments have adopted a larger, some a smaller unit. England's unit, the pound sterling, is nearly five times as large as ours. France's unit, the frauc, is about one-tifth, Germany's unit, the mane, about one-fourth of ours. The "unit" is simply the starting point in counting money. Every sum is expressed ir.

multiples or fractions of that unit. Now, this nit in every system of currency has not only a certain name but also a certain value, as measured by the amount of precious metal contained in it according to statute. In countries which have the single gold standard the unit is defined by a certain quantity of pure gold- Under the single silver standard, the unit is defined by a certain quantity of pure silver. Under a bimetallic currency the statute fixes a certain quantity of silver and also a certain qnantity of gold, either of which is the unit, under the supposition that the two quantities as thus fixed are, at least approximately, equal in commercial value. The "unit," thus defined by law.

is very often merely an idea, a conception, an abstraction, rather than a concrete, tangible thing. Thus, for instance, in Germany, which has the single gold standard, the unit is expressed by a fixed quantity of gold. At the same time there exists in that country no gold coin which contains just the quantity of gold which makes the nnit. The unit of account in Germany is the "mark." Still no one-mark pieces of gold are coined, but it coins gold pieces of ten marks or units, and gold pieces of twenty marks or units. The only one-mark pieces coined are mde of silver.

Under the German currency system the unit is measured in gold only, still ttim only coin which passes for the value of one unit is a silver piece, and the only gold pieces coined contain multiples of the fixed unit. Thus we see that the only true unit in the German system which is expressed in a certain quantity of gold, is merely an abstraction, as no one-unit gold coins are in existence, and the ono-mark silver coins are merely subsidiary money. The same is true in France, where the "franc" is the unit and the money system is the single gold standard. There, also, no one-franc pieces are coined of gold. And the only gold pieces coined are the multiples of the unit" or franc.

Let us now look at the statute of tho United States of 1792. It provides that there shall be coined "eagles, each to bo of ttie value of $10 or units and to contain 217 graio and. four- rantjr vr.iterUaj. burial RATES. A iPtOALTY, July.
