ENGLISH RESTAURANT WALTERS.
~ "a No Wonder That the British Serving
Man Lacks for n Tin.

Man LOOKS Tor n
In restaurants where the customer pays
his bill through the waiter the latter is held
responsible for its due payment from the
moment he receives the articles ordered by
the customer from the kitchen, and what
is known as the check" system is pretty
generally adopted. The waiter on begin
ming his days work pays in to the proprie-
tor or his clerk from two TO five pounds to
cover the value of the orders he is likely to
receive during the day, and he is given in
exchange II number of checks"
For every order he gives he hands in
checks to an equivalent amount. If the
value of the orders exceeds the amount of
deposit the waiter must pay in more money
before he receives the dishes. What the
customers pay him he retains until settling
time.
If the customer goes away without pay
ing the waiter must bear the loss. In one
instance heard of II customer who, after en-
joyingn sumptuous dinner, suddenly discOv.

had not the wherewithal to pay for it, and
told the waiter he must 20 to borrow it
from a friend lie offered very fairly to
take the waiter with him, and chartered u

The waiter is the person on whom blame
naturally falls if orders are not promptly
executed But he is himself at the mercy

The =. Il. RS Rig Order.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has just divided a 81 ,000, 600 order for
steel rails among the Pennsylvania Steel
Company, the Cambria Iron company
and Carnegie's. The contracts call for
the delivery during 1894 of $4,000 tons
of the standard steel rails used 10y the
Pennsylvania. Thirty-six tons are 10
cost S24 per ton, and the remaining
1000 TO be equally divided between the
Carnegie and Cambria Iron Company at
S25 per ton. 1t Is customary for the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company to con
tract in December for the steel rails 1t
contemplates laying during the succeed
ing year. Last December the contracts
exceeded 100, 900 tons; but the umes
were then much more prosperous than
they now are. Viewed from a compar-
ative standpoint, the present order is
even more important than the larger
one of y months ago, indicating as 1t
does, that the Pennsylvania 5 policy OF
progress and improvement will go on
despite the hard times. This example
is likely to stimulate similar enterprises
on the part of other corporations. 1t Is
a welcome sign to the steel manufac-
tureTS.

South Shields to-day from Lisbon, report
ed that while she was passing the island
UShant, off the coast of Brittany her
lookout reported that he saw a flash
light being displayed about two miles off
the course of the Niagara. She bore
down in the direction of the place
where the light had been seen and a
large steamer was seen laundering. Sew
eral persons were clinging in the rigging.

would have heen impossible for a small
boat to have lived even if one could
have been lowered from the davits with

the vessel The sinking steamer settled

low her bearings. Then she plunged

ANOTHER of the free trade bogieS of
protectionists is that if the Wilson bill
becomes a law American workingmen
will be deprived of work. They say that
the country will be so ''flooded'3 with
foreign made goods that it will be inn
possible to manufacture here and that
consequently American wOrkingmen will
be unable to obtain employment.
That is the silIiest of nonsense. As
the New York Recorder, a Republican
newspapers said the other day, and as it
reiterates whenever it is seized with
spirit of fairness, the United States has
had within the past hundred years all
kinds of tariffs and has prospered under
all And as it further says no tariff
can injure the Union. 1t has advanced
under all tariffs and will continue to ad-
vance, no matter what may be done.
The prosperity of this country depends
upon tine employment of its people.
They are not all bankers. They do not
all work hard at cutting off coupons
with which to purchase what foreign
menials may make for them. They ex-
change their labor for money and that
money keeps the wheels of trade NOV
ing and insures prosperity. As the Re
corder so clearly shows, American work
ingmcn have found employment under
all sorts of tariffs and can continue to
do so.
As to American workmen being
| thrown out of employment by the en-
croachment of foreign goods, that is the
most nonsensical thing that can be said
Who must buy those floods of for
| eign goods? Necessarily, American
workmen. With what will goods be
| bought? Money of course. How will
they obtain this money? BY working
for it. But if the floods of foreign
goods deprive them of work and conse-
quently of money how can they purchase
foreign stuffs, and if they don't buy
them how will these destroy ,,the Ameri-
can market and, throw Americans out of
work? Where there are no purchasers
there is no market. Where there is no
market there are no encroachments.
Where there are no encroaehments
there is no deprivation of work.
This is a condition that no tariff bill
can change. The Wilson bill will not
and cannot deprive of work those Amer
leans who are working in such industries
as do not owe their existence to tariff
subsidies

Particulars of Mysterious Murder.

special to the Morning cal to night gives
some particulars of the mysterious muir
der of a prominent citizen of Port Roy
al, Juniata county, last night James
Carpenter, a dealer in eggs and produce,
was at his office with his son about
> O'Clock and about dark started for
ueighboT :. He has not since been seen,
but there are evidences Of a murder, and
1t Is thought his body will be found be
fore morning. His absence did not
cause his family any anxiety until this
morning when a search was instituted.
His shoes and stockings were found on
the banks of Tuscarora creek and there
was a trail of blood from a rocky bluff
over the stream To the water Some
hair was also found where the body
had been dragged to the creek.
There had been no disturbance of the
Office furniture and it Is generally be
Iieved that the murder occurred between
the Office and the neighbor's house.

a CUTLERY company of Meriden,
Conn.,, says the Pittsburg Post, posted a
notice in their works few days ago,
stating that the Wilson bill made reduc-
tions of about go per cent on cutlery,
and that if it passed their employers
must look for a reduction of their wages
of from 40 to 90 per cent. This is pure
humbug. The Wilson bill puts the
rates on cutlery substantially back where
they were under the law of 1888. The
Meriden firm did not increase wages
when the Mckinley bill added 40 or 90
per cent to their profits. Not bit of
it. They pocketed the additional pro-
lection they have been having these
years, but they propose to cut labor when
the duties go back to what they were
when the present scale was arranged.
This is a pretty good sample of protec-
zionist dishonesty

EVERY good citizen should pay his
just portion of taxes for the support of
the state and government. He should
also pay without complaint a portion
for the support of the poor and needy.
But to be taxed for protection, to help
his wealthy neighbor, who probably
has more of this worlds goods than ne
has, to make money, is stretching the
functions of the government to a point
where every free citizen should object.
In government for the people there is
no class that should be protected but all
should contribute alike. In monarchial
governments, where the nobility are sup
posed to be better than common people.
1t is right for those who accept the be-
lief to allow themselves to be taxed for
the support of their superiors. In this
country where farmers, printers, labor
ers and others are taxed for the benefit
of class of manufacturers, the levying
of the tax, in the shape of a tariff protec-
ton is an imposition that smacks of the
trade of the highwayman.

New Men Preferred to Ex-NIrikers.

WTLKESGARRE, Pa, Dec. I2.-John

ported that the Lehigh Valley Railroad
company Is taking on new men at Itha-
ca and Sayre ia preference To the cx-
strikers. The old engineers are asked to
pilot the new crews over the various
branches, and much bitter feeling Is be-
ing developed IN consequence. The old
men can be seen in the yards at several
places Buffalo, Sayre and Ithaca
waiting for reinstatement, ard as day
after day goes 10y and they are not re-
stored to their old positions, they grow
loud in the denuuciatiou of the com
pany's bad faith, Rice does not care to
say much, but he looks upon the situa-
tion as a serious one and refuses To re-
ply to any question except as an indi-
vidual.

ANY partial and unequal reform will

Democrats who Join any such conspira-
-cy To defeat the performance Of the duty
to which the party isplcdged are traitors
1t i the misfortune of the Democratic
party that it has 50 many men in public
life who are Democrats for revenue only
says the New York World. They have
no principles. They cannot he depend
ed upon in an exigency. \ lot of this
sort prevented the prompt repeal of the
Silver Purchase act. They were finally
beaten, but they did all the mischief
they could before they yielded.
We know there are men in both
branches of congress who were elected
as Democrats, but who are at heart Re
publican protectionists. Some of them
are the same men who were determined
to compromise on the silver question.
These are men who can be depended
upon in no issue of principle, but they
never surrender partisan claims on otii-
ceS and salaries.
What we desire to say distinctly now
when the lines are being drawn is that
the man who is in favor of taxing the
many for the benefit of the few had bet
ter go over openly to the Republican
protectionist party, where he properly
belongs. The Democratic party does
not stand for that idea. The Republi-
can party does.
If Ifanybody has supposed that tariff re-
form can be accomplished without hurt
ing temporarily some of the plutocrats
who have been pampered by tariff houn-
ties, he has not sense enough to pose as
a statesman.
1t is a time when Democrats must
closely watch their representatives.
Those who are allies of the Republican
protectionists must be marked. We do
not believe that there are enough of
then to prevent reform, but whoever they
are they must be forced to show their
true colors.

IHE consideration of the bill for the
admission of Utah into the sisterhood of
states was begun in the House on Tues
day. The principal point at issue was
whether the enabling act should contain
provision imposing pains and penal
ties for polygamous marriages, the con
tention on the one hand being that the
state should come in on an equal foot
ing with other states unhandicapped by
such provisions; on the other that as
polygamy had been stamped out by the
federal statue, on the admission of the
territory would repeal that statue, con
gress should make it practically part of
the enacting act, Mr.. Morse Mass in
opposing the bill, took occasion to make
a vicious assault on Utah and Mormon
ism and recalling all the outrages of
plural marriages, the crimes of Danites.
the Meadow massacre, blood atonement
and the revelations of the endowment
house. Mr.. Rawlins, the Utah delegate.
IN the course of a brilliant speech cham
pioning the bill replied to Mr.. Morse and

state very badly. Mr.. Harter 90 opposed
the bill en- the ground that it gave a
sparsely settled western territory too
much influence in the senate.
