COOPERATIVE HOUSEKEEPING. .
An Objection to 1t That Comes All thu
WAY Prom the City of Chicago.

An Objection to 1t That Comes All the
Way From the City of Chicago.
A number of articles have appeared in the
press of late III regard to cooperative house
keeping, many indorsing the method and
few cOndemning it. Among those who are
advocates against it is Mary II. Krout,
writer for the wOman's department OF the
Chicago Inter Ocean. In a recent issue of
that journal she writes as follows:
The fastdious woman has little faith IN
cooperative housekeeping. Whatever evils
exist aud threaten from the perverted rule
of hired help" domestic privacy Is still
possible, and that exclusion from the oD-
servatiOn of the world which ought to be
dear to every well-regulated mind. In this
respect our English brethren excel us.
They do not put their drawlng-room win,
dOws next the street, open the blinds anu
invite the pasSer-by to note the workings OF
the household machinery. They love retire
ment, secluded gardens, life from which the
gaze of curious eyes is shut off.
The contrary is proof of a nOmadc faint
in the blood-a survival of the tribal eX-
istence when people, herds and hooks
formed one democratic community. AS the
race progressed in civilization, the nome
idea was developed, and with 1t that sane
tity and privacy which are necessary TO us
well being, but which, at the same time, 40
not prohibit hospitality and welcome to
friends and kindred.
People do not thrive morally, spiritually,
or physically crowded together. And THIS
applies alike TO the squalid tenement, the
cheerless hotel, and the abominable apart
mont house. Such in titutions are hot-beds
of gossip, scandal and mischief. The BUSY
can have no immunity from the INTERRUPT,
tlons of the idle, and while kindness and
helpfulness and self-sacrificing generosity
exist even there, it is not the best lille, the
simplest, or the most healthfu.
As for cooperative cookery, the less enc
has of it the better. Any experienced COOK
knows that it is not possible to prepare
large quantities Of food delicately and paia-
tably. A half barrel Of potatoes, peeled by
machinery and steamed in the apparatus
used for the purpose, are not like the dainty
dish, carefully prepared, seasoned ana
served for few. Cooking is an aria hne
art-and it requires nearly as much actual
personal manipulation to put together a
perfect salad as it does TO paint picture ]
brains and Imagination and deftnesS. OIL
touch, all must go into the combination.
Where salad is made by the peck or the
bushel, the cook would be mentally bank
rupt who attempted to carry out this theory.
And there can be no perfection without II.
In short the day of successful cooperate
housekeeping is not yet.

MONTHLY MAILS ASKED.

A Change in the Service to Alaska De-
manded by Merchants.
a carefully prepared memorial has been
prepared and mailed by the Chamber of
Commerce of San Francisco to Postmaster
General Wanamaker. 1t is as follows:
To the Hon. John FdnGndker, Postmaster
General Of the United States: The officers and
Trustees of the Chamber OF Commerce OF San
francisco respectfully present TO your consider
alton the necessity for monthly United States
mail service nom this port TO Alaskan ports
from April TO October inclusive-seven monthly
trips each year. The growing aud important in

capital already Invested there by our fellow cti-
zens, as well as the increasing passenger traffic,
fully warrant US IN making this request and We
power 10 comply therewith b. With assurances
OF our high respect, we remain, your fellow
citizens.
Although the mails to that portion of
Uncle Sans dominion leave twice a month,
they only go TO Juneau, Sitka and the
most prominent points, and it is to correct
this that the monthly mail is proposed. 1t
Is intended to have the steamer bearing
mails touch at many of the islands not now
included in the itinerary of travel, and es-
peeially to ports farther north ON the coast.
Under the new system Sitka and Oonalas-
ka will be the distributing points, whence
will so all sorts of carriers to the other
points. Inspector SeybOlt has prepared
thorough report on the question recon-
mendiDg the above changes.

A Parents Liability for a Tort Con

mitted by His Child.
Judge Hunt yesterday passed upon the
mooted question as to parents liability
for cnild's tort in deciding the demurrer
in the case OF Andrew Boyle against James
Wyatt. The defendant while riding in q
vehicle drawn by horses driven by his son,
boy of II years and inexperienced In the
management of horses, carelessly ran over
the plaintiff, and the latter sustained per-
sonal injuries for which he asked $3.50
damages. The Court in sustaining the de-
murrer to the suf1iciency OF the complaint
to constitute a cause for action ruled that it
ison ly where the parent authorizes such act,
or is in the relation of master to the ch lid,
that liability for his acts exists.

CONSOLIDATING COMMISSIONS.

The revision committee has adopted an
amendment the purport of which Is that
one member of the Board of Public Works
shall be police commissioner, and one
member shall be fire commissioner. The
result of this Is very involved amend
ment ramifying the charter, and making
very cumbersome arrangement.
The end sought could be reached In .
much more simple way by an amendment
abolishing the fire commission and the
police commission, and In few words
declaring that ION and after the adoption
of this amendment all duties heretofore
imposed by the charter or hereafter to be
imposed by ordinance on those bodies
shall be performed by the Board of Public
Works."
A further advantage Of this is that Il
amounts almost to an election by the peo-
pie without relieving the Mayor Of re-
sponsibility. In January next the present
Mayor must appoint Democrat for three
years. If the Mayor elected in March
should be Democrat he may at the next
vacancy appoint another Democrat. If he
is Republican he may appoint Republic
can; If Prohibitionist he may appoint
Prohibitionist. So that. as the people de-
termine SO shall the majority of the
board be as to politics. To this
extent, therefore, the people declare the
policy, and if the Mayor appoint an Inn
proper official the Board of Aldermen can
reject him. If he should prove unworthy
after appointment, public opinion can
demand his removal. If Board be elected
for term by the people, it is found prac-
tically impossible to get them out, and
the people can only "grin and bear it" TIL
the end of their term.
The people have had too much of compli-
cation; what they want is simplicity.

FREE sILvERITEs DEMANDING RE-
PUDIATION.

James II. Dooley is Virginian who be-
gins to perceive that the free coinage Of
silver would send gold to premium. and
would therefore not be boon TO
the vast debtor class who are
bound by express terms OF con-
tract to pay their debts in gold coin. A
good many railroad bonds are payable in
gold; mortgage loans as they fall due are
only extended on this stipulation, and in
New York where money is loaned on time
1t is only with q special contract to pay
gold. All loan contracts in Washington,
Oregon and California are made payable in
gold. If free coinage of silver once be-
comes imminent all loans will be made
payable in gold among Eastern capitalists.
and Major Dooley is doubtless correcti in his
assumption that by the time the free coinage
act passes "the great bulk OF the indebt-
edness of the country will be payable by
special contract in gold COIN" He reasons
that congress can and ought to make sill
yer illegal tender in payment of debts
specifically made payable in gold by the
terms of the contract" Unless this is
done, he pleads, "the creditor class will
again compel the debtor class to pay pre-
MUM on their debts"
Major Dooley sees that under these cir
cumstances the debtor class who are
bowling for free silver coinage would be
speedily hoist by their own petard. so he
says:
II you are going to make the effort to restore
silver to an equality with gold, do 1t boldly and
honestly. You must make the pub
lie debt payable in gold or silver; all private
debts OF every kind payable equally in silver or
gold.
In other words, Major Dooley wants
Congress to provide statute by which all
debtors can pay their debts In deprecated
silver, even though the contract may spec
tally call for gold. This would be nothing
but reputation, and yet without this plan
Of wholesale confscation of credit, free
coinage would simply put gold at pre-
MUM to the enormous injury of the debtor
class that today are ignorantly clamoring
for free silver
