EVERY MAN HIS OWN COOK.

That boys should be taught how to
cook seems strange notion. On this
subject the Kansas City Star says:
The manual training high school of
this city teaches cooking. The classes
are crowded with girls, but there are
no boys. 1t did not enter the mind of
/ the teacher who arranged the classes
that boys would ever desire to receive
instruction in cooking, and no provis-
ion was made for them. Recently a
boy said to the principal that he wished
to learn how to cook. He has found
other boys of the same mind-enough
to form good sized cooking class. The
request of these boys will be considered
by the school faculty.
This suggests a solution of the vex-
atious help" problem. Why not train
and employ men servants? The com
plant is loud that women have taken
the place of men in business and in
the professions. Retaliation would not
be unfair If the women have gone into
the dry goods stores, why should the
man not go into the kitchen? 1t would
not be surprising to find that men as
class would be quite as satisfactory as
servants as women. At least they might
prove more respectful to their employ
ers, less prone to quarrel less suspi-
cious of imposition. They might be
taught TO receive visitors with better
grace, to wait on the table with more
ease and to manage the kitchen with
more economy and better judgment
than the woman servant.
The course at the manual training
school might be expanded so as to teach
all those duties which man servant
should perform. 1t might teach BOYS
how to manage a household as well as
how to saw board or carve a scroll. It
might familiarize them with all the in
tricacies of domestic economy-the buy
ing of household supplies, the prepare
ton of food. caring for rooms. etc. And
it would not follow. necessarily, that
the study of domestic service would be
more distasteful to the boys than the
trade of carpentry.
Manual training has now the dignity
of a study, and boy could learn the
science of household economy without
fearing the ridicule of his companions.
1t is really not less suited to a boy
than clerking or bookkeeping The
training of men to be house servants
might not only go far toward solving
the servant problem to the satisfaction
of the housewife. but it would afford
work for many persons who are now
unemployed.
Whether teaching boys to cook and
other household duties would have a
tendency to solve the servant girl prob
lem may be doubted, but it wouldn't be
bad thing of itself. a first-class cook
can command as high wages as a first
class mechanic. But the question of the
commercial value of a knowledge of
how to cook aside, the boy who knows
how to cook could aid his mother very
much when she did not happen to have
a girl; and when he grew to mans es-
tate and became a man of family he
would often find his knowledge of cook
ing of much value. And every boy who
goes camping in the mountains and

A REMARKABLE REPORT.

The report made by the foreman of
the Nevada grand jury to which the
Uber lynching case was submitted, is
a very remarkable one indeed. May
it please the court" said he, I'VE have
examined into the Uber lynching case,
and have listened to the testimony of
10 witnesses. We have discovered who
the guilty parties are, and have suffi-
cient evidence to secure their convic-
ton in every case. Notwithstanding
this fact, the jury will not find indict-
ments ana further deliberation will be
a useless waste of time
That is one of the most remarkable
statements ever made in a court in any
state. The members of the jury took
an oath to do their duty. and here they
come into court and deliberately state,
through their foreman, that they know
who the guilty parties are and that
they have sufficient evidence to secure
their conviction in every case yet they
positively refuse to indict them. If
that is not contempt Of court it would
be a very hard matter to tell what does
constitute it.
There is but one conclusion to be
drawn from this statement, which is,
that the members of the grand jury not
only excuse but justify the lynchers in
their lawlessness. 1t is rarely that men
sworn to investigate crime so far be-
tray their oaths as TO say that Ehey will
find no Indictment even when the evil
dence is such as will convict those
charged with crime
The action of this grand jury puts
deeper blot upon Nevada than did the
iynchers. The officers of the law
should impanel grand juries and pre-
sent the evidence to them until an in
dictment is found or until it is demon
strated that grand jury that will in
dict cannot be found in the state. More
than ever does Nevada owe it to herself
to indict and punish the Uber lynchers.

DINeLEY ON COTTON CLOTH.

The New England cotton mills strike
is causing the Dingley law to be
dragged into the discussion over the
causes of it. Those who do not believe
in the doctrine of protection say that
according to the teachings of the pro-
tectionists the law should have so bene-
fitted the cotton mill industry that
there would be no necessity to reduce
wages. These tadnts have nettled the
protectionists so that Mr. Dingley him
self has felt impelled to say something
in defense of the law that bears his
name. a protective tariff, said he in
the house of representatives the other
day, cannot reach and equalize compe-
tition between different parts of the
same country; it does not profess to do
it; it simply reaches and equalizes COM
petition from other countries. There is
no competition from other countries in
the common cotton goods made in this
country. The competition which New
England and the north meets in such
goods comes solely from the south at
present
That protective tariff cannot reach
and equalize competition between diff
ferent parts of the same country is
true. This being so. does not such a
tariff benefit one class of the population
at the expense of another. If one por-
ton of the population cannot compete
with another, is not the one that can
not so compete put at the same disad-
vantage that the other would be with
foreign competition but for protective
tariff? The class that cannot compete
in the domestic market is Disseminated
against because it is prohibited from
taking its means into any market it
chooses to purchase goods. It-must
take a lower compensation for its prod
ucts than its more favored competitor
and yet must buy in restricted mar
ket for the benefit of that competitor.
Chairman Dingley says there is no
competition from other countries in
the common cotton goods made in this
country, and that the competition
which New England and the north
meets in such goods comes solely from
the south at present. This being so,
why did Chairman Dingley make the
in schedule ] so very elabor-
ate2 Did he insert many of the pro-
visions of that schedule for the sake of

sary, the taxpayers would be perfectly
willing for the county court to grant
Mr.. Dunbar a few days leave of alb

trouble with the Tribune is that it at
