THE CRIME OF TIPPING.

1t is said that the New York Central
Railroad company has employed extra
porters to assist passengers with hand
baggage to and from trains and wait
ing rooms, tht the company pays them
full wages, and have posted public
notices that no tips OF extra fees are
to be paid for such service. This is
certainly move in the right direction,
particularly in the matter of forbidding
the payment of extras to their EN-
in the tacit encouragement given TO
tipping of servants. The custom pre-
walls SO universally in sleeping and
parlor cars that it is we'll known that
porters are paid a mere pittance by the
wealthy companies running these cars,
depending upon extra fees to their pOr-
tiers to even up their wages. The price
for a narrow bunk in a crowded car
is surely high enough without hold
ing the passeng ger up for extras, yet the
demand rs made in such a way and at
such time that the passenger almost
feels Inundated not to hand over the
customary gratuity. The custom also
prevails to an extent absolutely dis
gustfng at the big hotels The mode
OF exacting these gratuities need not
be mentioned here. Any man who
travels or takes an occasional meal at
a hotel readily understands how he is
literally forced to fee the walters and
porterS to get even decent attention,
though he is charged with full rates
at the hotel Office. 1t is no excuse to
say the landlord is not responsible for
it, or that he is ignorant Of what tran
spires between his guest and his SER
want. He not only knows all about it,
but these fees are taken into account in
arranging the wage scale for his help.
In effect the tips represent the saving
to him in wages which he would other
wise be compelled to pay. 1t is indi-
rectly putting his hand into the pocket
of his guest and taking a large aggre-
gate Of cash and appropriating it to
his own use, under penalty of being
neglected and treated like an intruder
and a pensioner during his stay 1t is
to say the least, sneaking, arbitrary
way of levying tribute from his own
patrons, without whom his business
would fail at once
1t also humiliates the servant and
angers the customer. No man, how
ever poor, or of whatever race or ma
tionality, can respect himself and con-
tinually accept gratuities. 1t becomes,
to him, a matter of personal contact
with every customer, which may re
Quire the surrender of every vestige of
manhood he may possess. The de-
mand is a personal insult to his con-
tributor. and he is lucky to escape some
expression Of the just indignities Of the
party who is wronged. All these OBJ
jections apply to the sleeping car COM
panies. to the owners of stables and
hack lines, and barber shops. The
custom should be abolished by law,
hut in the absence Of such protection,
the caterer in these branches of bust
ness who would give public notice that
no tips would be allowed should be
entitled double share of patronage.
1t is. at once, downright robbery. and
n nuisance which should be stamped
out through public indignation.

BUMPTIOUS UTAH.

The Republicans of Utah are in the
position of a man trying to paddle two
canoes with a foot reSolutely planted
in each vessel. They resent the idea
of being called Democrats, and, with
great show of party loyalty, insist upon
maintaining the Republican organiza-
ton in the state. They do this chiefly
In the interest Of protection to the wool
industry of Utah, but TO secure the
free and unlimited coinage OF silver
they intend to vote for Bryan. SO to
secure free coinage they will support
the Democratic nominee, and to re-
STORE the tariff on wool they put up a
straight Republican state ticket and
say they will elect it from top to bot
tom. This version is, to say the least,
UNIQUE. When the legislature of the
new state of Utah-the governor con-
curr1ng-shall have restored the tariff
on wool all over this country, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, and even Texas viii be
found bowling in alteration before this
infant prodigy in the art of iaw-mak-
ing. Ii will cause the older common
wealth-the wool growers in particular
to push up their legislators, and even
to administer netapborical kick to
the brilliant idea 1t will bring self
reproach to congress too. for that
body has waited long. and debated
much over the trivial items Of polyg-
amy and temporal power Of the church
as being inharmonious to our American
institutions. What are such inSignifi-
cant local matters compared with the
re-establishment of a great industry
which is to bring back the resonant
bah, bah to a THOUSAND hills, TO say
nothing of spring lamb with mint
sauce on the poor mans table at least
for his Sunday dinner.
Utah Republicans, having started out
to give us pointers on legislation, per-
hapS they will tackle other abuses
much in need Of regulation. If in
order, we respectfully suggest COM
bines, trusts and excess freight charges.
Then, too, they might spread their in
fluence and take in the gold standard
nations of Europe, and bring them up
to the captains office for settlement of
all International balances on free sill
yer basis, is to 1. What's the use to
waste time on international confer
ences while the dictum of Utah set
ties all questions within and without
her state limits? Bright ideas are often
traceable to humble origin, but the Re
publican Of Utah will do well to steer
his two little boats very close together

BABES AND BICYCLES.

Miss Charlotte Smith is out in an
other circular to the newspapers and
people of America. Were Miss Char
lotte not a Miss she might not miss 1t
so far. She is president of the Wo-
mems Rescue League Of Washington,
and is against bicycle riding. Miss
Smith is riding hobby and in way
more offensive than is the riding OF
bicycles by her sisters. She began
the crusade Of the Womens Rescue
league against the wheel some time
since, and the responses have been so
emphatic and forcible that she has
gone clean daft She now declares
and insists that women haven't time
to rock the cradle and ride a bike
also. Miss Smith is treading on deli
cate ground for one who boasts neither
a husband or a cradle. Even II

sire TO take a spin around block or

people care little for silver. What is
silver to Populism? What is silver in
the great list of social reforms-revolu-
tionizing measures proposed by the
Peoples party? And the old moss
grown Democracy is unable to debour-
bonize itself even in Idaho. With a
revenue tariff that doesn't produce SUI
fcient revenue. it wants to take up the
march to free trade. In this Dubois
may learn something. 1t is better for
Republicans TO fight for what they
want in the party than out of it The
Democracy is for the spoils, it is pig
gish. Dubois had no more right to
expect Democracy to be generous than
he had to see the Jew turn Christian.
He may reflect upon this. He may
see the great goldbug Democrats in the
east, like German, running this free
silver campaign. What will his medi-
tatiOns bring forth? That very likely
this campaign is sham. This Demo
cratic party is for free trade or free
silver 1t is for which ever happens
to suit the present purpose best Ii
one don't work it is because the other
ought to have been tried first.
Dubois made great sacrifice at st.
Louis for his convictions. In this the
Democrats were the immediate gain
erS. If this was to be a campaign for
a single purpose by ''uniOn Of forces"
it should have been borne in mind the

turns from the Campbell experimental
stations in North Dakota have been
received and are of so encouraging a
nature that General Manager Kendrick
of the Northern Pacific railway will CON-
duct the experiments on a larger scale
and in many more localities nex year.
1t is estimated the ratio of increase
upon the different farms this year, ow,
ing to the adoption Of the system, has
been as follows: jamestown, Pingree
and Lawson, % per cent; Glen Ullen, 80
per cent; and Lisbon 80 per cent. At
the later place the grain has not yet
been threshed, owing to the sudden
and heavy TALL OF snow.
In the coming year the tracts will be
increased to eighty acres each and farms
located in the counties Of Stark,
Burlelgh, Foster, Wells, Griggs, Rich
land, Eddy, Benson, Barnes, La Moure,
Dickey, Ransom and Cass, besides
Stutsman, Morton, Kinder and Ransom,
where experiments have been conducted

a number OF valuable prizes for the best
results. These premiums will not be
