Cleveland Rebuked .

The returns from the Eastern cleo
tons show that the people of the coun-
try have administered sounding re-
buke to Cleveland and his Congress.
The passage of the Repeal bill
which had been the pet measure of the
Administration has been immediately
followed by crushing Republican vic
tories all over the East.
Under the circumstance there was
little use in voting for the Populist
ticket as the party is only organized
for the President campaign. Voting
the Republican ticket was the easiest
method of expressing disapproval of
the methods by which the Democratic
party and Grover Cleveland conspired
to trample down honest money in
Congress and legislate in the interest
of foreign bondholders.
On every side the country has ex-
pressed its strongest disapproval of the
course by which the Executive bullied
Congress into voting for measure
which was solely in the interest of
Wall street and not indorsed by a ma
jority of the people of the United
States.
In no instance in the history of the
country has an administration victory
been so quickly followed by ballot
box rebuke from the people, and if
the President does not keenly appre-
ciate the unmistakable way he has
been repudiated, he must be SO wrapt
up in himself as not to be able to re-
alize the position in which he has
placed himself and his party.
Never was there such a public ex-
hibition of obstinacy and logged per-
slstence on the part of one man as the
forcing of silver repeal down the
people.
The people of the East, like the
people of the West, want more money.

duty as a good Democrat to do so. 1t
may be against the grain, but We
will take our medicine. We will work
our wives to death, starve our child
rem, sacrifice our homes, cruelty lib
erty and kill prosperity, but will never
90 back on our dear old Cleveland.
Thou art more account than all of us
put together. Thou knowest more
than the south and west. Call us fools;
spit in our faces; wipe your feet on us;
we will love thee all the more. An
now our great political father, We
leave us in thy care. Do with us as
thy wilt. Kick silver into the mid
die of the next century; give more
privileges to national banks; issue
more bonds; preserve the Mckinley
bill: establish State banks; foster trusts

fish whenever thou wilt, and hunt
snipe whenever thou carest to, and we
will endorse everything thou doest,
carry Cleveland ROSTERS, campaign

Another diplomatic position pur-
chased by Democratic campaign con-
tribution last year was last week par
TALLY delivered by the nomination of
another American who spends more
than three-fourths of his time in Eu-
rope. The man is James Roosevelt;
the place, Secretary of the United
States embassy to Great Britain, and
the price $4,000. The nomination
has not yet been confirmed, but as the
nominee is a brother-in-law of $780,
900 Van Allen, who slipped through
so easily the other day, there is no
reason for doubling that it will be in
due time. The Democratic idea of
making things cheap evidently does
not include places in the diplomatic
service. Perhaps if Mr.. Hornblower
could have shown receipt for a big
campaign contribution his nomination
to the Supreme Court would not have
been chung up" SO long.

"A Patriotic Daughter.

A young lady, the daughter of west
ern farmer, whose heart overfowed with
patriotism, quietly left her comfortable
home, cut off her beautiful hair, donned
male attire, enlisted in company and
went directly to the seat of war.
During the home life she had been the
milkmaid, and her kind treatment of the
bovine tribe of the farm had made her a
special favorite. But one Of the lacteal
tribe was her special favorite and whose
reciprocal love at meeting was always
demonstrated. When mustered out Of
service. she returned to her paternal
home, her habiliments being those of the
heroes of the war, and politely requested
permission as stranger for entertain
ment over night, which was readily
granted by the kind host to returning
soldier.
On the following morning she arose,
and still regarded by the entire family
as perfect stranger she proceeded in
her soldier garb to her old milking quar-
ters, and she had not entered the gate
way till she was at once recognized by
her pet COW, which proceeded to meet
her and greet her with all demonstra-
tions of loving animal to dear friend.
Then the soldier returned to the house
hold, and instead of possessing the recog-
nizing powers of a cow it was hard work
to persuade them that she was really
their daughter. Pittsburg Com

How Professor BlaelIe ApoIogined.

Professor Blackie was lecturing to a
new class, with whose personnel he was
imperfectly acquainted. A student rose
to read paragraph, his book in his left
hand. ''Sir,v thundered Blackie, ..hold
your book in your right handr'-and as
the student would have spoken
words, siri Your right hand, I sayy'
The student held up bis right arm, end
ing piteously at the wrist. ''Sir, hae
nae right hand" he said. Before Blackie
could open his lips there arose storm
of Misses, and by it his voice was over
borne. Then the professor left his place
and went down to the student he had
unwittingly hurt and put his arm around
the lads shoulders and drew him close.
and the lad leaned against his breast.
"My boy" said Blackie-he spoke very
softly, yet not SO softly but that every
word was audible in the hush that had
fallen ON the cfassroom-''my boy, you'll
forgive me that was overrough? I did
not know-I did not knowr he turned
tothe students, and with a look and tone
that came straight from his heart he
said, "And let me say to you all, am
rejoiced to be shown I am teaching a
class of gentlemen" Scottish lads can
cheer as well as hiss, and that Blackie

Debate ON the Tucker Bill.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 27.-In the house
today Morse of Massachusetts created
quite wrangle over the refusal OF the
house to permit him to print some news'
paper extracts in connection with his
recent criticism OF Commissioners Loch-

Bland presented a substitute for
Loud's resolution calling for informa-
/ tion as to how much silver wae pur-
chased in July and August, asking the
secretary OF the treasury why the full
amount required under the act OF 1890
had not been purchased in those
months.
Morse. who was vexed over the refusal
of the house to permit him to load the
congressional record with abuse af Com
missioner Lochrane, made the point OF
no quorum. :,
For three hours Morse blocked all
business in this way, when the resolu-
tion carried-188 to /.
The Tucker bill then came up. Law
son OF Georgia addressed the house in
support of the measure.
Lawson'e argument was from the
standpoint Of states rights.
Daniels OF New York, who followed
Lawson in opposition, argued that the
election laws were absolutely necessary
to obtain honesty and security at con-
gressional and presidential elections.
At the conclusion of his speech, the
house at 5 :45 p. m. adjourned.

How tho systsm Of Tipping HAS Degensr-

How tho system Of Tipping Has Degensr-
atsd In Many Eating Houses.
Complaints of the tipping system, or
rather want Of system, are regrowing more
ana more common. It Is the opinion of
those who are in the habit Of getting
their meals here and there and patroniz-
ing the cafes about town that insolence
among walters has yisibly increased.
Everybody who knows anything about
New York knows what that means---an
exceedingly disagreeable state Of affairs.
ssThe evil is worse in proportion to the
fespectability Of the place" says q man
about town. "In other words, the more
expensive the meal the more liberal the
tip, and the more insulting the walters
If it does not come up to their ideas of
what the amount of the tip should be-"
have been making some personal in
vestigations in this line myself and un-
hesitatingly indorse the above opinion.
/ have found that in every instance the
waiter expected tip whether Ne had
served well or not. and that this expecta-
tion is made so BADLY apparent that the
attention of everybody In the vicinity is
called to the fact to bear unwilling wit
ness as to the extent of your iberality.
Also that too small tip will subject
you to more pronounced insult that none
at all; that any effort to correct abuse
of this character by reporting the serv-
ant is more likely to multiply your bad
treatment than to reduce 1t.
If the executive clerk or proprietor
does not recognize in you valuable GUS
toner of the place, the chances are two
to one you will be received with more
contempt than you got at the hands of
the waiter. No one man in 500 thus Of
Tended ever complains he simply doesn't
go back. Most city men and travellers
are not easily offended by walters. Fa-
miliar with the ways Of the waiter. they
either pay up or ignore the intended Of
fense. It is the sensitive man who is the
more readily blackmailed, or who, re-
sisting the levy, feels more keenly the
insolence of the menial.
In my experiments, conducted at six
different respectable restaurants, found
that the poorest walters, the men who
gave the poorest service, were the most
offensive. At one place where, at the
suggestion of friend interested in this
class of human nature, we went back to
the same waiter on the next day, there
was such visible reluctance to serve
us that we were compelled to call the
head waiter before we could get any
thing to eat. As my rule is to reward a
servant proportionately for extra service
and attention, and as some of these men
rendered this service and got nothing,
cherish no hard feelings against them
for the look of cold disappointment with
which they greeted our departure. In
discriminate tipping has made tipping
useless practically, SO far as good service
is concerned. 1t has become merely so
much blackmail, and the poorest service
demands and receives the same reward
earned by and cheerfully paid the best.
Men are awful towards and would rather
be robbed outright than thought mean,
even by waiter.-New York Herald.

The Now Cordag. Trust.

New York, Sept. 27.-The Cordage
Trade Mutual Protective association held
a meeting in the offices of the John Good
company today, and adopted plan of
organization. 1t provides for an agree
ment between the cordsge men, having
for its primary object absolute and ex-
elusive control of0the purchase of sisal
and other raw material, with the incl
dental purpose of regulating the prices
agreed that he will cheeriuliy and upon
satisfactory terms give the exclusive
benefit of his inventions to all the pres
ent members of the organization and all
who will come into the same with the
honest purpose of placing the coIdage

BILE basis. A committee on permanent

senslble fomls Abous r,ps.

The greatest abuse Of the tipping sys-
tenn in New York is in the fees to iani-
tors and other servants connected with
apartment houses. 1t has become GUS
tom almost too strong to ignore in some
apartment houses to pay the janitor, bell
boy, elevator boy, ETC., certain amounts
every month or fortnight--this without
any regard to whether the servant has
rendered any particular service or not.
The result of this indiscriminate tipping
is quite natural-you get no particular
service.
Not few tenants Of apartment houses
have had an experience with janitors
which makes blackmail preferable to the
risk of the repetition of these expert
ences. AS in the case of walters, there
are good many annoyances to which
tenants may be subjected which cannot
be cured with a club and which do not
even form substantial basis Of COM
plant. And they are not less aggravat-
ing because you can't get away from
them or resent them. But to simply pay
a man indiscriminately just because he
is there is plan which releases him from
any obligation whatsoever.
make it a rule and can recommend
it after some experience to pay with
reasonable iberality for any special
service-that is, any service above and
outside of that which the man is en-
ployed to render to every tenant in COM
mon. And never tip such men on gen.
eral principles is, indiscriminately.
If an understanding to that effect is es-
tablished at once upon going into new
fiat, you will avoid all the ills to which
others are subjected and have at call
those who are not only ready and will
ing, but eager to serve you. Begin at
once to compensate literally every per-
son about the place who renders you
special services and pay nobody else a
cent. Follow this rule, and you will in
variably get excellent service and plenty
of attention. This rule will work equally
well with the waiter if you are regular
customer.--New York Herald.

Rare American Coins.

Coin collectors have long appreciated
the difficulty Of making a complete col
lection Of American specimens. The
United States coinage of 1903 is very rare
and dollar of the year 1894 has often
sold for as much as S100. A 1896 half
cent is so rare as to sell readily for $15,
and half dollar of the same year is
worth go times its original value. While
the half cent of 1904 is common enough,
all the other coins of that year are rare,
the dollar of that particular date being
the rarest Of all American coins. Only
eight are known to exist out Of the
1850 that were coined. The lowest
price that one of these now changes
hands for is S00.-London News.

There are extensive pearl fisheries in the
