a MoMENTOUs QUESTION OF CAR
RIAGE HIRE.

RIAGE HIKE.
We hardly think 1t worth the while
of great and well.to.do Government
TO worry itself much over the allowance
of S200 year to the Justices of the Su-
preme Court for carriage hire.
It's pretty steep bill, to be sure,
just for carrying their Honors to the
Presidents House and back again on
New Years Day, but would it be any
more satisfactory TO the American
people, or flatterlng to their national
pride, were the Judges to ride up in a
street car and pay their own fare?
THE CRITIC has very little reverence
for what is called "style," and despises
anything in the nature of snobbery-
and cheap snobbery is the most despl-
cable of all; at the same time we hold
that there is q certain amount of dig
nifty attaching to the Government
which its prominent officials are com
PEELED to observe, If they would main
tain the respect of the people, to say
nothing of their own, and that this
obligation should not be sighted on
account of its costing something.
We hear good deal about "Jeffer-
sonian simplicity" but 1t is mostly
bosh. Tradition fails to reveal that
there was ever anything of the kind.
Jefferson himself was anything but
simple. lie was great stickler for
ceremony, and President must neces.
sarily be so, more or less. 1t is impos.
sible to get along in position of that
kind without q considerable amount of
ceremonious formality and even show.
The same with the Justices of the
Supreme Court. They are very plain,
sociable, companionable fellows when
off duty and able to discard all slifT
conventionalities but on state occasions
they must have due regard for the emf.
nence of their stations and not be too
particular about the price.
1t is certainly proper that they
should call on the President and wish
him Happy New Year, and equally
proper that they ride, rather than
walk. The question then arises
whether 1t be more becoming to go
round to the hanson stands and dicker
with the drivers for rebate on the
usual rates of transportation, or order
the best turnout that can be had and
leave our economical friend, Judge
Durham, to settle the bill.
As we say at the outset, two hundred
dollars is way'up figure for convey
ing nine men TO the White House, but
