{" KLTCHEN GIRDEN.D

A meeting was held at the house OF a resi-
dent of this city yesterday afternoon for the
purpose of completing n novel organization.
1t is known to good many Of our
readers that there originated in this city
about four years ago, at an old and
respected Mission, the idea OF teaching the
little girls in poor families how to keep house.
The object was TO elevate the home life
Of the poor by introducing order and good
manners at the table and neatncss and intelli-
gence III the performance of all household
duties An experiment was made with
this idea. The little girls who went
10 the Mission in question TO learn
sewing and the rudment5 of an Eng
lish education, were taught in simple les
Sous how to set the table sweep the floor,
dust ihe furniture, make. beds. aud do
variety of other things in the way that
a refined woman would like to see those
things done IN her own house. The lessons
were taught TO the children with the aid OF
toy implements and table sets, and were i'm
pressed upon their memory 10y means or large
number of pretty songs, the verses Of which
contained tho rules for the performance OF the
different tasks. The new idea was given the
name of Kitchen Garden" Though the sys-
tenn was crude IN all is details at first, It was
early seen 10 possess some valuable features.
Within the past four years il has been elabO-
rated, and IN a quiet way has been tested in
nearly twenty Mission schools in his and other
cities. Although q book has been privately
printed on tins subject by Miss huntington. the
originator of the system, 40 parade what
1..ar-. flo i4dfY- eou-
nected with it did not want 20 make any, and
because the capacity OF the system for useful
ness had not been demonstrated. IL has become
apparent, however, that the Kitchen Car
"drnn is valuable idea in charitable work.
II tends to dignity and sweetcn the hum -
homo life OF working people. 1t appears
sometimes to teach the ladies, who devote
themselves to impIcssng Kitchen Garden
preccpts on the mind of The young, nearly "a
much a. it teaches tie pupils Of the
schools. II certainly creates new
agency by means of which refined women
can influence the loWly for the better. And
it seems to be Il step toward solving the old
problem OF how to obtain supply OF sldlIul,
intelligent and contcnt.d household servants.
A suggestive fact is reported from Boston.
A class of children from prosperous families
Was formed there tAi5 Winter The delight
with which toe members of the elias, entered
upon their lessons indicates that possibly this
system may yet he Of value IN the general
training and education of women.
II has now been determined 20 promote the
correct diffusion OF the principles upon
which tn, system has been founded, to
improve 10 as much rs possible, and
10 seek uniformity Of action among
those interested in this work. Yes
ter,lay an organization was completed,
and an interesting paper was read at
the meeting - the Corresponding Secretary,
showing what has been done So far. This
report. with the other proceedings, is pre-
eeutcd in full in another column.

school lines have been retained the legality
of woman suffrage is questioned. Outside oil
the cities there are over 1000 districts IN
which "schoo meetings" are regularly held.
At these meetings women can vote unuer the
new act. But not all women. Only those VINO
have &" the other qualifications now required
"by law" That is to say, only those who
actually own or hire real estate that is liable
TO taxation in the school district. AS the
number of women who are property -Owners
and tenants is small in rural districts, their
votes will scarcely be worth counting.
The best feature OF the bill, however, is I'M
equivOcal in its application. Women are ellgl-
BILE to election or appointment as schoOl
officers of all grades from the lowest to the
highest. In this city they can serve as trustees,
inspectors or commissioners, and throughout
the State they can direct the educational IN
terests of town or country. That women are
competent for such duties cannot be seriously
questioned. For our part we have never
doubted that the efficiency of our schools
would be promoted by the cooperation OF the
sexes in their management in high as well as
IN low places. We hope that the first vacan-
cies which occur in this department OF our
city government will be filed by the appoint
ment of women-as commissioners as well as
trustees and inspectors The experiment has
been tried with satisfactory results in four
teen States, and there is no reason to suppose
that it will fail in New York, where so large
and so intelligent body of women are de-
voting their lives to education.

THE TRIBUNE is not behind any Of the jour
nails which are just now giving themselves a
little prominence by bringing him forward as

been named whom it would support

to give the country a wise and honest admin
istration. The Republican party il fortunate
in having so many competent and available
candidates, upon any one Of whom it could
concentrate its strength to such drgree as
to insure success. Mr.. Edmunds has not been
at all prominent as "A candidate until within

called so now-and we should be less
than candid if we did not say that he

Surely the most advanced advocate of equal

the passage by the State Senate OF the Dill

which no woman who is worthy OF the name
will ask, except perhaps under the dlre
pressure of want; and even in such case IL
ia for the good of society that she snail De

tion of morals involved which does not appear
In the mems contests. The aggressive reformer
who moved the other day to amend the OIL
so as to forbid these also, was evidently niled
with a sense of their uselessness and general
undesirableness. But his amendment was
necessarily, though perhaps reluctantly re-
iected The bill which has passed the Senate
is shown in our Albany correspondence to be
stringent in its terms. Penalties are pre-
scribed not only for the women who take part
in the so-caled walking-matches. but also for
the managers and even for the lessees OF
buildings in which they are given. These
provisions seem to be effectual. When the
bill has become law. we shall have seen the
last of the female pedestrians.
General Clinton B. Fisk says, in talk re-
uN-Tat ~ nv
the plan of exchanging a reservation for lands
in severalty, lately agreed upon with the
Utes, should not be adopted with other tribes
of Indians at once. He believes that it could
be applied to all the reservation Indians IN
Oregon and Washington Territory, and that
similar compact between the Government
and the tribes in the Indian Territory Will
soon open that great region TO settlement by
the white man. There is hope here OF real
progress in this Indian question. The ADJUST
ment which is regarded with most favor by
the leading representatives Of the Territory
tribes is substantially that which has been al
ready agreed upon in the case of the Utes, and
is embodied in bills now pending in Congress
the allotment of lands in seveTalty, the sale
of the remaining reservation lands and the
annual payment of the interest on the funds
thus obtained to the tribe which owned the
reservation. Under this arrangement 1t Is
said that the Indians of Indian Territory
wsuld be better off than the average
farmers of the Eastern States. There is more
than this, however, to be said for the project.
1t will not only improve the condition of the
Indian, and give him fair chance at civiliza-
ton, but it will relieve our Government in
time from the constant distress Of attempting
to sustain an impossible policy. which con-
sists in making promises of secluslOn to the
Indians which no human power can enforce
against the steady advance Of settlements and
the imperious demands of civilization.

As we have already suggested, the wise policy for
the elevated roads is to make such concessions as
the public have been led to expect, promptly and
gracefully. while the memory of their victory Is
still fresh. One concession would be to lengthen

not one which tie public have been led TO expect,
perhaps, but which they would gratefully receive

Mr.. A. G.. Mandle, a New York gentle

week since. He was in search Of a mining
property, II he could find one to suit him.
He was finally told of the California. owned
by Joseph Mendes and A. G.. Mckenzie.
lie at once sought Mr.. Mendes and to him
made his business known. The interest of
Mr.. MeDdes was not for sale, but Mr.. Nc
Kenzie was willing to dispose OF his. Ne
gotiations were not long in maturing. Mr..
Mckenzie offered to sell for Sc, 500, aud his
offer was promptly accepted. The money
is TO be paid in installments, the deed Of
the property remaining in escrow the mean
while.
The property is one Of the most promis-
ing in this district. 1t has been yielding
largely the past year, and being directly
ON the great mineral belt, there can be no
question of its permanency and value with
development to a greater depth. The
splendid bonanza lately discovered in the
Connolly mine is very near the California
line. The purchaser unquestionably has q
magnificent bargain.
Mr.. Mandle is a prominent business man
Of New York, being extensively engaged in

Eureka at the end Of sbout sixty days. At
