Miss MATILDA DOD> had intended to
give the initial lecture in her course Of
instruction in cooking at MCLAIN's hall
this evening, but owing To the fact that
the Children's Home Anniversary is to
be celebrated at the Opera House this
evening, and as the better class Of our
citizens are interested in that event, she
has concluded to postpone her open
ING lecture till tomorrow afternoon.
Miss DoDs has just finished re-
markably successful course at Pitts
burgh, where all the best class of ladies
seemed eager to profit by her superior
knowledge OF the cuisine. OF course a
woman who knows nothing OF cookery
or Kindred arts cannot expect to attend
Miss DoDS' lectures and become a fin
ishcd houSekeeper But the testimony
Of ladies' who have a practical knowl-
edge Of the culinary science is that
they obtain from these talks and
experiments many Ideas OF value.
In other words, while Miss DoDS can
not make a bal cook 4 good one, she
can make a good cook better. The pa
perS i'm the cities which the lady has
visited are unanimous in their praise OF
her and OF thcrciorms she has inaugu-
rated. People are beginning to feel 4
new ambition, an ambition to live bet
ter, healthier lives. This desire Is born
ofincreased Embellishments ofthe knowl-
edge that the heals and hearts of men
are most easily reached by way OF their
stomachS. They are striving to reach a
higher plane, alimcntiyely speaking.
As a disciple Of this new reformation,
Miss DonS deserves support and en-
couragemcnt at the hands Of the public,
and We have no doubt she will receive 1t
in as large measure here rs she has
elsewhere.

A HETTER STATEMENT.

Inhis Columbus speech Mr.. SHER-
MAN said that when he became Secre-
tary of the Treasury, there was
national law in force providing for
return to the specie standard on the
first of January 1879. THAT was the
law" said be, "and l was required to
execute it. did execute the law and
that is all the credit am entitled to.
Ny friends in Ohio are disposed to ex-
toll me beyond my merits for simply
doing my duty"
This is about a square statement, but
it isconsiderably more modest than the
one of which he delivered himself at his
home in Mansfield.
Those ardent admirers OF Mr.. SHER-
MAN who speak of him as the greatest
public tinancier the county has pro-
duced, ALEXANDER HAMILTON not ex-
cepted, manifest more enthusiasm than
discrimination when they make his two
years history at the head OF the Treas
ury the ground for that assertion. lie
is not entitled to exceptional honor, as
he admits, simply because he hap
pened to be at the head OF the Treasury
Department at the time when the law
required the Secretary to begin to re-
deem greenbacks in New York on de-
mand. Anybody else in his place
would have had the same duty to per-
form, and there are scores OF men in
the country who would have performed
the duty quite as willingly and quite as
intelligently.
SHERMAN did not, of himself, resume
specie payments any more than GRANT
put down the rebellion. GRANT was a
conspicuous figure during the war, and
no doubt contributed toward the sue
cess of the national arms; but 1t
would be absurd to attribute the
whole or even the principal merit OF the
victory TO him. So SHERMAN happens
to be a conspicuous figure in fixing up
the financial middle consequent upon
the war. He has carried out with con-
siderable shrewdness, perseverance and
show of ability, the policy which Con-
gress mapped out for him, but it is alb
surd to magnify the importance OF his
services so unduly as is being done.
1t was the sacrifices, perseverance and
patience of the people more than the
superior skill OF any one man or half
dozen men, that have achieved what
ever is to be valued in the condition OF
the finances. SHERMAN is not undo
serving of credit as cool and capable
financier, but we like to see an intelli-
gent discrimination even in bestOwing
praise.

TnE luckiest people in the country are
the far sighted ones who invested IN the
stock of the New York Elevated t''uI-
road when it wasn't considered OF much
account. The stock is now selling at
from 100 to 1917, and the dividends IN
surrd 10 holders are Of almost startling
dimensions. An estimate that appears
reasonable enough places the cost oil the
road and rolling stock at four million
dollars. and the expenses OF MAINTAIN
in, il al four hundred thousand a year
The road is CARRYING about a hundred
thousand passengers a day, which, at
the average fare OF eight cents, makes
about eight thousand dollars a day, or
about two million and a half a year.
The road can thus pay its operating eN-
penses and interest charge and stlll re-
turn a net income every year OF nearly
halfthe money invested in its construc-
ton. There's millions in 1t, and no

raE TORACCO TRADE.

Since tine reduction in the tobacco
fax there has been trouble in the tobac-
co trade. The manufacturers, iobbers
and retail dealers have each and all been
tryfn, Il, get the benefit of that S cents
Der pound at the expense OF the other.
And now the consumer rises to explain
that between them he has been entire
Is robbed Of his share Of the reduction.
The situation seems TO be about this:
During the month Of April business
was almost at a stand still, no one or
dering any goodsat the old prices during
that month, and all waiting to take alt
vantage Of the reduction. Since the
first Of MAY the business has been TIRE
rcndous. the manufacturers working
nfght and day 10 iii orders, and being
unequal to the emergency
This activity has made all classes OF
the trade a little independent. They
ind il. perhaps, easier to sell at the old
figures since the reduction than before,
anil doubtless will, until the market be-
comes again settled,
The manufacturers, however, allege
as the reason they DO not make the full
reduction. that the finer grades OF leaf
tobacco have advanced i'm price during
the winter, leaving them 50 little mar
Gin 10 20 on that they cannot afford to
make q reduction.
The iObbcrs, OF course, won't reduce
until they can make better terms with
the manufacturers, and 80 with the re-
tail dealers. I'm the meantime, the
hungry consumer is diSgusted with the
whole trade, and refuses to be COM
fnrtrd Tor the reason that this eight
cent, per pound is being gobbled up en-
t,ryly by them.
I'm the meantime, however, comPeti-
ton will be- getting in its work. The
market will settle down to its old limits.
Dealers will DE found who are willing
to cut under" for an increase OF trade.
Like every other commodity the price
will be- controlled, not by the manuiac-
turrr, or iobbcrs or retailers, but by the
quantity and cost of production. All
things will heucciorth tend to securing
the consumer his fair proportion Of that
reduction Of tax.

INDIAN ELOQUENCE.

Olr readers are familiar With the
ease of the Pouca Indians, who were
taken from their old hunting-g~Ounds in
the Northwest to a reservation in the
Indian Territory. several OF the war
riors Of the tribe escaped short time
a.,n and returned 90 their old haunts.
Tlcv were arrested 10y ordDroi Secretary
Scurz. but were taken before the
United states District Court at Omaha
last week ON a writ Of bgLsv corpus and
permitted tn state their own case. Their
Irll chief. STANDING Bull, made a
speech which is as notable for its torci-
bile simplicity of language as the cele-
DRAFTED speech made by Logan, the
Mug1 chief . our own ncighborhood,
in the earlier days, the days
around which time has cast
a glamour of romluN'. Referring
tu the iryrr-Strickcu country 90 which
his people were transferred 10y the
Government. STANDING Bull said:
when I got down th,r' il seemed a.
ii ] was iu a bi. fire. one hundred and
Gity-risht Of my people were burned
sp: now stand before You. came
away 10 save my wife and my children
and my friends. ! never want to 30
there again. want to 90 back to my
old reservation, 10 live there and be
buried i'm the land oimy fathers ! have
never tried to hurt a white man.
The speech will accomplish moth
ins. but, when recorded in
history, to attract attention to an
other sad episode in the mournful
history Of race that was in the way Of
a mightier one. 1t will awaken the
sympathy Of posterity, but it fails to
procure Justice. The event is q novel
one, at any rate, STANDING Bull being
in all probability the first Indian who
ever pleaded case before a regularly
constituted court,

CHARLIE ROSS.

The father of CHARLIE Ross has been
again disappointed in finding his long
lost boy. One more unsuccessful effort
has been made. He has visited over
six hundred lost children, all of whom
were believed to be CHARLIE. One can
imagine with what solicitude and in
tense eagerness he has been ushered
into the presence of each one OF these
children only to turn away with heay-
Ter heart. Each one has inspired fond
hope, each one inflamed his magma
ton with happy picture of recognizing
his boy, clasping him in his
arms, and bearing him in ecstacy
to his mother. There is to him, doubt
less, mystery about it that makes life
burden, that has prematurcly
whitened his locks, wrinkled his brow,
and saddened his life for all the future.
He NAV never penetrate the barrier tn; t
separates him from the embrace OF his
child, bnt his memory will never be
less dear, nor the sorrow Of the ever
fresh bereavement less poignant. The
case will probably pass into history as
the most remarkable of its kind on rec
ord.
There is one thought in connection
with the case that suggests itself at this
time. Mr.. Ross believes from informa-
ton which he has followed up from the
time Of the kidnapping, that CHARLIE is
alive. He had convincing evidence that
he was alive at the time one OF the deS-
peradoes who is believed to have stolen
him was killed. At the time Of the kid
mapping and for long period thereafter
public sentiment was justly averse to
Offering any reward for his return. We
believe that no reward has ever been
formally offered and guaranteed for his
return. The probability is that the
child, if living, is not in the hands ofany
one who was instrumental in the Origi-
nal theft. II his identity is known by
those who detain him, it is concealed
for the purpose only OF avoiding any
charge of completely in his capture.
There would be no great sacrifce-no
dcmoralizing efcct-ii immunity from
punishment were now guaranteed and
4 reward offered for the return OF the
child.
At one time We believe it
was possible to have rails
ell by voluntary contributions 4
million of dollars for the restoration
OF the child to his parents. There is
scarcely an intelligent individual, with
a heart in him, within the boundaries
of the United States, that would have
hesitated moment in making n con-
tribution, if thereby he could have as.
sisted in the return of CHARLIE Ross
to his parents. We don't think public
feeling is so Indifferent now but that
any reasonable means would be sup
ported by all this nation to bring about
that result. There is no man that will
not he glad to contribute his mite if n
proposition is started to raise a fund for
this purpose, under such reasonable
conditions as will make it proper and
plausible.
