When the war court of Inquiry convened today Uudolpu K Spleer , a funeral director and embalmer of Harrlsburg , Pa , teBtlfled ho was a mem ber of the Fourth Penns > lvanlu regiment and served In Porto Ulco. Ho had paid especial attention to the meat Issue. The cookn had found It neceeaary to cut off two or three Inches of the refrigerated beef because of the greenish dlacolrratlon. " 1 also notltcd crystalline scales on this meat , " hu said "U was generally In the Joints and It Immetllatcly occurred toin that tunie article llko soda or boraclc acid had been mod on the meat , nuch as we em- halmers use on human bodies when they begin to crack. " He had eaten of this meat only once and It had made him sick. M Spleer found the canned roast beef slimy and disagreeable. Much of It had been thrown away by the men. The olllclal report of Dr. H. D. Blgelow of the Agricultural department , who was selected to make an Investigation of the canned ro.ist beef , was submitted , llr. Blge low visited Chicago , Kansas City and Omaha with the court and he gave the result of his observations of and experiments upon various samples of beef used by the packIng - Ing houses In canning. Dr. Dlgelow had been present when beef was selected for canning and ho presented numerous tables Giving the results of his Investigations. As to the food value of the canned beef , Dr. Blgelow said he could speak only from a theoretical standpoint. Ho had found this beef to contain more protein than in the same quantity of fresh beef. On the other hand , there was a blight reduction of calorific power and stimulative qualities Considering that food for the muscles was the great desideratum In the tropics , ho thought the canned beef would be a most appropriate food. It should be used , however , In connection with nptlvo fruits.rice or potatoes , to sup ply starch , and It would bo well to add beef extract for stimulation. Or. Blgelow was questioned by Colonel Davis at length with the view of counteracting the effect of the testimony of Drs. Brady , Currlo and others whoso testimony had declared that chem icals had been used In the preservation of the meat supplied to thp army. The wit ness said bo had examined both the re frigerator and canned roast beef and found no evidence of the use of preservatives In either.

The dinner of the Democratic club In honor of the anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson was held tonight nt the .Metropolitan opera house. Looking from the tiers Co the Hour of the vast dining hall the tables seemed llko .groat beds of loses. The thlrlj-tvvo tables were on either side of the speaker's table. Hither was piled with n mass of rofies nnd ferns Intertwined. So abundant were the flowers that some of the guests woio hardly able to see each other over the lluwer banks Swans nndnses of alabaster hold the ( low ers. There were cormioplas of plenty nilcd with How cis nnd fruit and the scene was set off with llbbons of cnidlnal silk. Thu lloor of thu audltoilum was raised to n level with the stage bj a tomporarj fluor. The tables were set In rows parallel with Thlitjninth and Fortieth streets. The guests of honor were at two tables set under the prosctnlum arch and nt right angles to the other tables. The stngo was sot with a gorgeous palace scene of the court of Louis XIV , ( treat electric ehaudellers lighted up the picture. Conspicuously placed at the west end ot thu dining hall was the Inscription , "Jeffer son IT-U-lS'.il Democratic Club. " This was composed ot Incandescent lights , It surrounded a picture of Thomas Jeffer son. son.Tall Tall silver candelabra with shades har monizing with the Iloral effect were on all tbu tables. I'l oraiidoiis AKiitust Crunk * . The guests began to arrive at C o'clock , but the dinner did not begin for an hour and u half after that. Captain Pi Ice of the Tenderloin and fortv-two lullcemen wore In and around the building. A cordon of bl- cycle policemen surrounded the building. A cr.ink letter of a few dajs ago , in which a thieat was made to blow up the building dining the dinner , seemed to have made the police unusually vigilant. A number of detective sergeants In even ing diess mingled with the guests to see that no unbidden person might enter. There were a number of firemen also on guard to prevent any danger fiom fire. Insldo the building was an army of ushers and attendants. These wore a drab uni form with sliver buttons. Just before the guests were railed to or der Hicluid Croker , Petry Uelmont and Commissioner Scannell entered a box. Ulch- ard Cioker was In enthusiastic conversation with those about him and waved his baud to gutstb all over the hall. Ulfililffli IIimdriMl Diner * . There weie fully 300 more guests than the 1,500 planned for , but all found seats. This Is said to be the largest number ever accommodated at a banquet In the history of the city. The great dinner to President McKinley - Kinley at the Waldorf-Astoila was served to only 900. The band stiuck up "Hall to the Chief" at 7 30 o'clock , and Richard Croker , arm In arm with John Stanchfleld , marched down the aisle. With them were Frederick C. Schiaub , Hubert B. Hoosovelt , Geneial I. Catlln and Amos J. Cuuimings. The service ot the menu Was excellent , but some confusion was caused -by some of the diners stripping the tables of ( lowers and ribbons nnd throwing them to the women In the boxes. Mr. Croker held u levee just before the icgular speechmaklng began. Mr. Croker shook hojida cordially with everybody and smiled as man after man congratulated him upon the suocss of the dinner. The confusion was very great. As the time drew near for the making of speeches the oiatois were almost discour aged at thu prospect of making themselves heard. Perry Bclinont began to speak at 10 o'clock. The uproar was so great that he could not be heard n hundred feet away. By degiees more quiet was obtained. Mr. Uelmont said : .Ii'llVi-Hon is It Is fitting that this Democratic club celebrate the birthday of him whose monument ment Is the Declaration of Independence the lirst democratic piesldent , the lust sec retary of state , the constructor of the flret demcciatic platfotm , the founder of the democratic paity. Thomas Jelferson was a paity man of the democratic type. To him as a demo crat the woild Is a debtor for that which was a novelty In political govcinnient until his own Immortal words pioclaimed tut doctrine that the light , to "llfo , liberty and the pmsult of hupr-inezs" Is inalienable , and to secure It governments are Instituted , "do- rivlUR their just puweis from the consent of the governed.

We nro now near enough to the next cim- nalKii to be ublo to form some idea of the line along which the contest \vlll bo foiuht and I nm taulng no tlsk when 1 Bay that these who , In IbUt ! , gn\c their allogl.inco to thu Chicago idatfoim are UH unllul today In thu UelounluaUun that no 3t < > p itiUiMi in , 1S36 shall bo letincud , SuggebUo.is Hint j wo abandon the money question iimiotiiuf i > ! como fiom those who desetted tlio party in 189i3 , but thrfie suggestions aio not uupp 'tied ' by I'MMits since tending to show th.it the position in 1OG was wiong , but was predi cated upon the theory th it the laotin upon which the l-aily UIKO lost win in\fji % bi' t % - \ived , nnd what seems most btiauRO this argument Is made by those who luuo fol lowed a different course in the p.iEt. The test ought to bo not whether the Issue has been presented befoie , but whether the position taken Is light. If the gold stand ard was unmerited In IS'lC it Is unmerited now. If Its maintenance was a detriment to the Interests of the- people of this country then , it h a detriment now. If In 1S9G it was no hurtful that the republicans prom- lacd to put forth tluli I " > t rttort to sub stitute international bimetallism for It ana , after the election , was still so hurtful that the jire-jldenl sent a couimibsion to Cm ope to secure foreign aid In abandoning It , what has happened since thc-n to make the Ameri can people accept 11 as a blessing. ' Uiu < ii < ltnl % o Theory of Money. It nn increased gold disco\ery in Alaska has boon of liny ad\autng to the United States it has been another oUdenco that the quantitative theory of money Is correct. If a large ba.anco of trade In fax or of the United States gi\es any lellef because of the money thus brought into the countiy it Is nu additional argument In f.uoi of the quantitative theory of money. lilmetalllsts hiuo contended that times will be made better by the letuin of the double standard and by the Incieased sup ply of standaid monev thus furnished for the business of the country. While It ib un- necoobary to dlscusb the- question of ratio until Fomc other latlo is prcpos > ed it mlgbt not be out of place to suggest that 1C to 1 , being the ratio at which the present gold and silver coin circulate , ib the natural ratio nt which the mints should be reopened. The attempt of the republican party to retlio the gieenbacKs and substitute for them national bank notes will give to that question a gieater prominence than It en joyed in 1S9G. During thu war the national bank note never became more valuable than the greenback because It was redeemable in the gieenback. The national bank note Is good only by the national government standIng - Ing nn endorser of the bank. If the value of the bank note Is dependent upon the gov- einment , how can it be any better than the government's own papers , and why should the gov eminent pay national banks a bonus to Induce them to issue bank notes which are in no respects supeilor and in borne re- bpects Inferior to the greenbacks Issued by the government and for wnich the people pay no bonus ? Triumphant Jin roll of * TriiHtH. The trusts are now absorbing an increasing blinre of public attention becuube- their lapld growth during the last two jeais. We had a sugar trust and an oil liust some 5ears ago. We now have a biscuit tru t , and a match trust , and a meat trubt in fact , a tiust in almost everything that is used. The milk trust reaches the Infant as lie first sees the world , the ice trust cools him In the summer , the coal trust keeps him waim In the winter , while the colllu trust \valta to receive him when life's IHful dieani Is o'er. The people aio beginning to see what the principle of monopoly really means , and jet the pilnclple of monopoly so plainly illus- tiated by the Industrial trusts does not dlftor at all from the principle-of monopoly which underlies both the gold slaudaid und the paper money trusts. The democratic party Is prepared to face the futuie and meet now issues without abandoning the old. The republican part } has demanded that the standlug army be Incicusod to lOO.ouu men If citizens born in the United States are Ignorant of the burdens of a hUmllug army they can receive Instiucilon fiom these born in Uuropean countries. Many Euiopcans whoaie now worthy cltl /ens of this great republic left tlicli Euro pean homes because of the buideu.vliipub . by the military establishments , A great army may bo u go d thing for the ralli ad companies which will cany them from plac. ! to place , and fjr the largo contractors who will furnish food and raiment for the hol- dlers , but It IB a distressing burden on tin. plain people of the country , especially upon the laboring men aud the farmer , upon whom nn unfair portion of the load haj fallen , "Forcllili' Ooiiiiii > Mt and Coloul/nllon" Upon the subject of imperialism I need only udd a word.
