Senator Isham G. Harris has written a
letter to Tennessee friend in which he
says: 'When the tariff bill passed the
house on the 2lss OF July Immediately

SOLUTION OF THE SERVANT GIRL
PROBLEM.

| A lady of our city received recently a
letter of inquiry from the commissioner
of labor statistics of the state of Mime.
sofa, the answer to which contains food
for thought for our state officials and
| may eventually be the solution of very
perplexing problem. We give portion
of the answer below:
WICHITA, Kan, Sept. Z.
Mr. John Lamb. Commissioner of Labor Statistic s
ST.. Paul, Mimi.
SIR: Your letter of July 5, forwarded,
Just received. Although having moved
from your state my heart is too much in
the questions you have requested me to
answer to pass them by on that account.
Were l there l would glady take time
and strength to interview many
might have their opinions also
sions, but as I am not, | give you my
own thoughts upon ''the remedy for the
evils that exist" Without lengthy de-
tail it would be impossible to answer
your question, ITO what extent the girls
are to blame, to what extent hOuSekeep-
ers are to blame, and to what extent
OlIlef causes are 10 DidIlc.
Womans nature demands home life.
1t is a God-given instinct. The unin-
wiling sleeping apartments, the repressed
condition, the more or less fault-finding
of many housekeepers, makes domestic
service no more home-like than service
in a factory. 1t is easier to perfect
oneself in the few duties of the. factory
than in the many of the house servant.
The large majority of the servant girls
come from homes wholly unsupplied
with many of the utensils deemed so
necessary by good housekeepers. They
are also ignorant of the many comblna-
tons of food placed upon our tables,
having been accustomed to but few
articles of food simply prepared in their
own homes. Naturally then they blum
der, growing bewildered and dishearten
ed at the multiplicity of things to be
learned and often finally seek other ways
of earning wages, too often ways Of sin
and degradation, as various interviews
with them confirm.
The housekeeper, on the other hand,
paying adequate wages feels she has a
right TO good service which they are
wholly incompetent to give.
| feel the solution Of this problem is
the opening of scientific housekeeping
and all utensils necessary to
house and laundry work. l should sug
gest the course of instruction going be
yond that given by the eastern cooking
schools, and that the study of hygiene be
made prominent that they may under |
stand the necessity of well cooked food |
and of clean sinks, drains, cellars. &c.
This would elevate housekeeping in
the common thought, place it on the list |
Of professions, and insure the possessors !
Of diplomas good situations and courte
Dus treatment at the hands Of their en-
oloyers 1t would also insure the en-
Dloyer good service for wages given, as
he students would come largely from |
lass unable to pay for such a course OF |
and as the churches have an
ever increasing demand for their fnan-
,es in direct mission work / feel it the |
luty of the state to open such schools for
Ter girls just as she opens industrial
schools for her boys, and put them on
uch financial basis as will provide for
raining in every department of house
work.

The Democratic managers and candi-
dates for congress are very cute in their
campaign plannings. In the Third dis
trict, for instance, they fixed up chal-
lenge for joint discussion between
Hon. 3. w. Perkins and their candidate,
John A. Eaton. They had double pur-
pose in the scheme, i. e.: To get the ben
eft of the crowd that would be attracted
by the announcement of a speech from
Mr.. Perkins, and to draw the faithful
representative from the Third district
from his post of duty. If their candi-
date for Mr.. Perkins seat is such tower
of strengths such a magnetic orator
and convincing statesman as he is repre-
sented, he should be able to attract the
people to hear him by his own force, and
we dare say Mr.. Perkins will not COM
plain if Mr.. Eaton shall take advantage
of his absence to address his constituency
while he remains in Washington watch
ing their interests.

The result of the late election in Ar
kansas explains the anxiety of the DEM
ocracy eNtant to effect coalition with
the various political OBJECTIONS. local and
otherwise. The managers of that party
have endeavored TO make the party fol-
lowing believe that the new parties are
made up largely of disafected Repub-
licans, but the falling of of the Demo-
cratic vote wherever there are side issues
shows that party to be the main loser.
In Arkansas the wonderful growth of
the prohibition sentiment had much to
do with reducing the Democratic vote
and majority.

AS the fishing season is near over, and
our fishermen safely out of harms way
until next summer, Mr.. Blaine doesn't
see any good reason for giving Mr..
Cleveland the additional retaliatorv
powers asked for in his latest message to
date, If the Republican senators don't
see good and sufficient reasons for doing
so, Mr.. Cleveland won't get the addition
al powers. If they do, he will. Prac-
tically the decision rests with them. and
we have no doubt it will be well con-
sidered, judicious and patriotic in &C
cordance with their action on the re-
iected treaty.

The distressed condition of Jackson
vile. Florida, appeals TO the generous

cry such emergency, wheresoever, the
appeal Is not In vain. If material con-
Tlbutions could restore the losses sus-
ialned by the stricken districts they
would be made more than doublv whole
oy the sympathetic community at large.
The responses that come so generously
and sopromptly in answer to the first in

Or quarter cause feeling of grateful
emotion to spring up in the breast of
every patriotic citizen that it is his priv
llege and good fortune TO be ,iweller in
