from the boarders at the hotel. They only
make 1t understood that they are there to
get gratuities. and being what they are,
they know that the tips given them will be
larger than those handed to ordinary walt
ers, who attend on table as regular busi-
ness and to mako their living. or course,
that is substantially begging. Tho money is
given them by the boardors. not because
they have earned II, not because OF their ex-
cept!onal abilities and assiduity as walters,
but because they are poor young men trying
to get through college.
1t is not at all probable, 1t is hardly pos
sible, that they arc as expert ut the business
as men who give their whole time TO it; and
yet they know that people will fec them
better than the others in order to help them
along as poor students, or because men and
women would feel hesitation about giving
them an ordinary tip only. But whatever Is
offered these young men take. Their hands
are always bent to receive the feo. Mr.. VAN
DERBILTs aims were therefore eagerly await
ed, doubtless. They must have expected
something handsome from so rich n man.
And these are sons of New England, born
and reared among the hills where manly
sclf-reliance was once supposed to have its
especial abode!
DANIEL WEBSTER was also New Hamp-
shire boy, and was poor also and he like
wise went to college, entering Dartmouth In
1907 But did he go about getting tips and
gratuities for being civil, in order to pay his
way through college2 Did he pick up quar-
ters and fifty-cent pieces thrown to him as to
a menial?
Nobody would have dared to treat that
young man after such n fashion. He was
neither n beggar nor u lackey, and therefore
DANIEL WEBSTER went to work to earn
money to support himself in college. He
taught school during the winters, rs hun
dreds of the most distinguished Americans
have done in order that he might get his
collegiate education.
There was one thing that we may be sure
DANIEL WEBSTER would not have sacrificed tC

it, and that was his self-respect. Great mer

In the White Mountains, Mr.. WILLIAM H.
VANDERBILT left three thousand dollars to
be distributed among the walters. 1t is GUS
tomary for very grand royal personages to
scatter their gifts freely among those who
attend on them when they travel. and there
are few kings who have at their command SO
much money for their personal use as Mr.
VANDERBILT; but We never heard before Of
his tipping servants SO heavily as that, es-
pecially after very brief visit to hotel.
Mr. VANDERBILT made an exception In the
case of the White Mountain walters, it
seems, because they are not regular walters.

out as walters for small wages. and yet ex-

CONKLING AND DORSEY.

WASHINGTON, Aug 2o.-It Ill becomes tho
former political and personal intimates OF ste-
phen w. Dorsey to accuse Roscoe Conkling OF
having inspired" or instigated the recent
revelations. which have placed so many lend
Ing Republicans In a bad prodlcament Even
II the charge were true. 1t would not alter the
facts But 1t Is wholly unionnded.
Mr. Conking is responsible In a large degree
for tho success of the Republican ticket In 1880.
About that fact there is no doubt His course
on that occasion was doubtless influenced
more by friendship for Arthur than from any
desire to help Garfield. but still moro by devo-
ton to his party.
Perhaps the zeal which stimulated Mr..
Conkling's Efforts for the President two years
ago is less ardent now than 1t was then. whom
no disturbing causes existed to temper IT with
reserve. At all events no has given no sign OF
a wish to repeat tho part he then played.
There were two conspicuous and important
occasions connected with the last Presidential
election in which Mr.. Conkling did not appear
First. he absolutely declined to attend the con-
ference at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in August
1880. at WHICH Con. Garfield was tho chief
figure, who had came TO New York for the
Of raising money to aid his election.

An American Minister in Distress.

The United States need a diplomatic rep
rescntative in the Asiatic kingdom OF Corca
just as much as Il hen needs teeth. Never
thcless, we are gricved to learn that Mr..
FOoTE, the American Minister who has lately
taken up his residence in that country finds
himself surrounded with many discomforts,
and has 50 informed the State Department
at Washington.
II we were in his place we should take a
bee line for home.
One Of his troubles Is that he has to live in
a paper house. The only house he has been
able to obtain is a rude one OF wood and pa
per, with paper windows" But this was just
what he ought to have expected. If he had
consulted the best authorities he would have
asccrtnned that the Coreans are great paper
makers. According to one standard work,
tho single manufacture in which the Coreans
really rank high is that of paper. Then,
again, In our own country boats are made OF
paper, car wheels are made of paper. and
why should not houses be made Of paper?
Mr.. FoorE next complains that the climate
is characterized by great extremes Of heat
and cold. II so, 1t must be marvcllously like
the climate he left behind him when lie left
America. Surely he did not anticipate that
the weather in Corca would be pleasanter
than the weather in New York, even IL the
mercury here does sometimes range through
thirty degrees in tho course of twenty-four
hours.
Still more remarkable, however, is Mr.
FOOTE'S complaint that tho only fuel obtain
able in Corea Consists OF the boughs OF pine
trees" What would he wish to have?
Would lie prefer the roots or the leaves or
the sap? Or does he want mahogany or
rosewood or lignum vitH instead of pine !?
If he will write to Secretary FRELINGHUYsEN
Just what kind of fuel he prefers, a shipload
may be sent out to him by one OF the vessels
OF our navy as soon as one Is built Stanch
enough to make the voyage and Congress
makes the necessary appropriation. There
would be some little difficulty in getting the
fuel up to the capital, as we believe the
nearest point which can be reached by large
ships is thirty miles distant; but Mr.. FooTE
might devote his spare time to planning a
ship canal for the benefit Of future American
commerce with Corea. There will be no
commerce without it.
On the whole, we are rather sorry for Mr..
FooTE At Athens Gen. JOHN MEREDITH
READ was useless, but comfortable. At
Seoul. the Corcan capital, Mr.. FooTE is not
only useless but unhappy. But 1t is foolish
to be unhappy when one can avoid unhappl-
ness. MIR. FooTE can escape the woes which
now beset him by simply coming home. We
think he had better como home.

The heat yesterday was an uncomfortable
reminder of the fact that the end OF summer
has not yet been reached. and that the COM
paratively cool weather enjoyed during the
last three or four weeks cannot be expected to
continue unbroken until tho low southern de-
clination OF tho sun renders n return Of high
temperatures impossible for this year. Yet the
cool weather has now lasted so long that at the
worst n return Of tho heat would necessarily
be Of short duration. The rapid shortening of
tho days shows how fast the season is deciin-
ing and already preparations are being made
on all sides for the long cool evenings Of
autumn. which are no less enjoyable in the

The Political influence of Cookery.

The Senate Committee on Labor and Edu-
cation now sitting in this city has been listen
ing to the testimony of Mrs. S. TwITCHELL,
formerly President of the Workingwomen's
Association OF San Francisco who declares
that better cooks would make better Sena-
tors and better men, and who wants the
Government of the United States to appoint
competent women to go about the country
from house to house for the purpose OF Civ
ing instruction in the art OF cookery.
This is very interesting suggestion In
several respects.
1t is simply logical extension OF the tho
ory OF paternal-or we might say maternal
government, which is entertained with so
much favor by tho Republican party.
1t also sheds light on an interesting event
in recent political history. No doubt Mrs.
TwITcHELL is right when she says that bet
ter cooks would make better Senators. Up
to the present time no rational explanation
has been offered OF q notable event in tho
career of Mr.. ROSCOE CoNKLING--that is
to say, no explanation consistent with conf
mon sense ON the part Of that gentleman. 1t
has been impossible to understand why he
resigned from the Senate In n pet. and then
ut once began to do all lie could to get back
again. We are now led to infer that the
blame for this folly must rest upon Mr..
CoNKL1NG's cook. IL he had enjoyed the
services of better cook, he might not have
yielded to such an impulse.
Last winter somebody in the Senate at
Washington wanted to provide each Senator
with private secretary at the public ex-
| pense. Would not a Government cook for
each Senator do more real good
