"A Long-Feit Want"

The Germantown pa Telegraph
says a ship canal from Lake Michi-
gan to Lake Erie, to give Chicago
and the Northwest direct water COM
munication to the seaboard. is a
project which is awakening much en-
thusiasm throughout the region to
be benefited by it. The effect OF such
a canal would be to reduce by the
enormous sum of $1O,OOO,OO0 the
cost OF moving a single seasons
wheat crop OF the Northwest through
the smaller freight charges OF water
carriage. Some of the preliminary
work connected with the proposed
enterprise has been already done.
The movement would be met with
the fierce opposition all the great
trunk railway lines now sharing in
the profits of transportation OF prod
ucts from the vast region for which
such canal would furnish an outlet.

two homestead claims, an apology
for fence, another for a stable
that was about all there was to be
seen.
This was at noon. A little later
the agents of the two railroads and
one of the proprietors of the shanty
on the line between the claims were
actively at work with a gang OF men,
and before 10 o'clock ofthe following
day the entire section had been stalk
ed off in streets and lots.
At noon the sale OF lots began, and
before night many had been sold. By
sunset half a dozen shanties had been
slapped up" and Junction City be-
gan to be.
The rapidity with which the news
of the new born boom Travelled was
astonishing. The next day the build
ing Of houses and the coming of in
habitants began in good earnest.
Shanties sprang up. Others came
on wheeled trucks from deserted
claims and more or less excuseless
settlements. Tents were plentiful.
There appeared what out ofcourtesy
were called stores. There, too, was
q "hotel," the Accommodations"
of which were little short of awful,
and a saloon where was dispensed
liquid comfort mostly of the Battle

A day later the initial number of
The Junction City Pioneer was
sprung upon the settlement by an en-

were also many other evidences of

An Exotic That Is Rapidly Becoming
Species of Tyranny.
To be tipped withgold, like Aurora's
chariot, seems to have become the
sole aim OF servants OF every denomi-
nation.
However exorbitant price you are
charged by the hotel keeper, the res
tauateur, the barber, the railroad or
steamship company, ii you would be
served with any degree OF satisfaction
you must tip the servant or thence
forth seek other quarters.
When will he who caters to the pub
lie understand that he is injuring his
business by tolerating this perncious
practice, and this, too, to an extent
far beyond the difference between the
salary heis payinghis employee and the
salary the latter would require if the
tpis were strictly prohibited? And
when will the public have the moral
courage to refuse to be plucked?
The public caterer should give his
patron everything that rules, agree
ment or custom calls for at a stlpu-
lated price. If he does not, the patron
has his remedy at law or the privilege
of going elsewhere. TO obtain it by
tips may be good policy, but it is
a wrong which is nothing less than
bribery. Yet it is not only tolerated
but even encouraged by EMPLOYERS
who pay low saleries.
And, to make matters worse. if is
not the hard, conscientious worker who
looks upon a tip as his due; it is the
bowling. wriggling, obsequious flunkv
who while waiting upon you goes

Typographical BlunderS.

Sir Arthur Helps was, l think, over
sensitive to adverse criticism, of
which he had perhaps not en- ough to
allow him to grow callous to it, and
the least misprints in his own books
or articles annoyed him exceedingly.
There was a passage from his "Or-
ganization in Daily Life" in which,
speaking of vultures gathering to
their prey, he had used the Virgilian
phrase "obscene birds" which had
been misprinted "obscure BIRDS"
The mistake was not noticed by any
of several persons who read the
proofs in succession, and l remember
that his gratitude was quite effusive
when his attention was called to the
word just as the book was being sent
to press.
