This is Reform.

milwaukee Sentinel, Dec LIST, 1SS6-Editorial }
The Wisconsin Genital has resolved
upon a reform which should be initiated
by all the roads in the country.
1t has decided to increase the pay of
the porters and walters employed on it's
sleeping and dining cars to an amount
which will give them ample compensa
tion for their work, and prohibits them
from receiving ''tips" from passengers.
Orders are issued to them to receive no
money from any passenger, except for
blacking shoes when requested to do
so. For that service they are permitted
to accept 10 cents.
The passengers on the Wisconsin
Central after this will not be annoyed
by the un-American system of gratui-
ties to employees Of the road. The road
will pay its employees and not trust to
the charities Of the travelling public to
maintain them.
This is real reform. 1t is a greater
boon to the employees even than to the
public. 1t relieves them from de-
graded position. The man who depends
upon ''tips" for a livelihood necessarily
loses self respect: The system is one
which is inconsistent with the status of
a free American citizen. 1t is dis
grace to the great railway corporations
that they have so long fostered this de-
grading practice. They are amply able
to pay fair wages to all there employees
but they have left ons class Of them de-
pendant upon the charity Of others.
The wages paid to sleeping car porters
have been hardly sufficient to pay their
board, and they have been forced to
rely upon the gratuities received from
passengers, leading them to obtrusive
attentions upon those who feed them
literally, while others were correspond
inglY neglected. The Central road is
entitled to great credit for setting the
example of paying its men fair wages
and prohibiting ''tips" on its line. !.

while adopting the principle of that act, enlarges

country, to protect our commercial interests by
the employment of most comprehensive and Wig

Last night there was grand parade and display
and to-day number of entertainments and parades
headed by six of the best bands in the state. To

plaza TO see the display of fireworks, many of the
pieces being special TO the occasion, and the whole

she was in 1876, and Fort Worth as she is in 1885.
Such crowds have never been seen here before
The railroad men and fremen took lively interest
in the celebration and made most creditable dis
plays.
The Gazette was the recipient of several sere
