WHERE CHAOS aE1GNs.

| 1t scarcely needed the testimony of
mind the idea that the fire department
is in a chaotic condition, and there
are those who go him one better and
assert, with good grounds for proving
it, that Chaos has been the presiding
genius in the engine room, in the hose
tower, in the stables, in the hay, in
the oats, in the coal bin; yes, even in
Frankie's cradle, ever since Mr.. De-
vine was confirmed as chief of the
Salt Lake fire department.
Up to date, however, there has been
doubt in the minds of many who
have followed the history Of the de-
partment for a year or more past, as
to just who was responsible for the
entrance Of Chaos. Many who knew
Mr.. Devine in a political or a business
way, were slow to believe that he was
responsible for the pitiable condition Of
affairs.
The exposures of the past two days,
however, have shown to all-and even
to warmest friends of the chief have
been forced to admit-that the chief
alone is responsible for the troubles
that have gathered so fast and thick
about hin-that have made his days
a burden and his nights one horrid
dream.
So far as Mr.. Devine personally is
concerned, The Herald has nothing to
say, although his hit at the fire and
police commission was unkind to de-
gree-considering how gently the mem
bers have dealt with him in the PAST
but we have taken the stand and hold
to it, that he is not the man Salt
Lake should have at the head of de-
partment so important as the one over
which he attempts to preside; that he
is not the kind of a man who can gov
ern men; that this is plainly shown by
every movement he has made.
He started out to introduce military
discipline into his department-instead
came Chaos.
We are told that Mr.. Devine is a
good politician, a first-class carpenter
and a shrewd contractor.
No doubt this is all true; but neither
of these accomplishments enter into
the makeup of the chief of fire de-
partment.
More need not be said.

JUSTICE JAcksoN's SUCCESSOR.

If one knew Mr.. Clevelands inten-
! tons regarding the nomination of a
successor to the late Justice Jackson
speculation could be made. This not
being known all speculation must be
speculation pure and simple.
Various names have been suggested
as Justice Jackson's successor, among
the latest that of Mr.. Frederick r.
Coudert. The New York World says
it learns upon unquestionable author
ity that Mr.. Coudert has been offered
the vacant supreme judgeship. If he
has, his reply, if it has been sent, has
not been made public. If he accepts
and shall be confirmed, this will give
the greatest state in the Union a rep
resentative on the supreme bench.
That it has not one there now is owing
entirely to the hostility of Senator
Hill to the administration, he having
succeeded in defeating the nomina tions
of Hornblower and Peckham. They
were Anti-Snappers, but Coudert may
almost be termed the very head and
front of the Anti-Snapper movement.
Will Hill oppose his confirmation if
his name is sent to the senate? The
strength and genuineness of the recon
Citation that took place between
Cleveland and Hill last winter. and
which was evidenced by the latters
accepting social attentions at the
White House, will now be put to
test, if the nomination is made.
If the tender of the judgeship has
been made Coudert, it's acceptance
will involve a very heavy pecuniary
sacrifice on his part His law prac-
tice is extensive, and he is also one
of the receivers of the Union Pacific,
a position itself far more valuable
from a monetary point of view than
supreme court judgeship. If he shall
be nominated and confirmed, the only
regret will be that he is not a younger
man.

THE PHILADELPHIA Ledger is evil

forwards. There is also The advantage
of having instruction in manual train
ing given while still at school because
the mind is more active and will more
readily grasp the principles underly-
ing any art or trade. It would never
be contended that this school train
ing would do away with that appren-
ticeship to any trade that it was de-
sirable pupil should learn. No school
education can take the place of the
experience that contact with the
world alone cah give.
AS the pecuniary circumstances of
the people will not permit of the main
tanning of a school of manual train
ing at present, the work could be
helped forward very materially by
setting apart one of the basement
rooms in each of the various school
buildings and having portion of one
or two days week set apart for Civ
ing manual training to those of the
seventh and eighth grades who de-
sire it. This method has been tried
with success in some Of the public
schools of Boston, the expense of tools
and materials and hiring of special
instructors having been de-
frayed by the generosity of private
citizens. The results have been most
gratifying and the dexterity acquired
by those pupils availing themselves of
the opportunities offered them, cutie
remarkable. Why cannot this be done
in Salt Lake City thus in part real
izing the idea advanced by President
DOo1v?
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-08-17
a MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL.

In his annual report of the condi-
ton of the public schools of this city,
President J. e. Dooly, of the board of
education, makes the following recon-
mendation:
AS soon as pecuniary affairs per-
nit, manual training school should
be added to the high school, in order
that every young man or woman
whatever his position in life, may be
taught useful calling, from which, if
necessary, support may be derived.
Such training, however, should not
be permitted to abridge the academic
course. so essential to a finished edu-
cation, and which constitutes the
foundation for success"
The suggestion is worthy of serious
consideration. A school of manual
training is almost essential to a COM
plete public school system, but whether
it should be attached to a high school
or be independent makes little differ
ence; it is the thing itself that is i'm
portant
The manual training in public
school will necessarily be subordinate
to the intellectual training, for when
pupils quit the public schools to en-
ter upon the task of earning a liveli-
hood, which will be the case with the
great, great majority of them, thaA'
time and opportunity for intellectnAl
will be largely gcIe,
while it is altogether probable taat
their manual training, whatever sorm
it may take,wil then begin. If an op-
portunity for a part of this training
shall have been given before quitting
school, they will be in a better posi-
ton to go on with such matte5s af

DANGER OF THE BICYCLE.
