COTRTESY TO C1HMEN.

Honor to the cabdrvcrs. AT last they have
made stand. The worm has turned. The jehu
has concluded that men will respect him when
he respects himself. and accordingly has assert
cd his dignity. No longer will he submit to
the insults and the brutality of his patrons.
He will be treated with consideration as be-
cometh the sovereign OF free country. The
fiat has gone forth from meeting Of the Early
Dawn Association. Let no woman henceforth

Ter in his haste to catch train hand out his
tip without accompanying 1t with formal ex-
preston Of his distinguished consideration.
1t was high time that the cabmen had taken
this action for the general welfare Public
manners have been dcgenerating under the in
nuencc Of our modern rush and hurry. Packed
like sardines into elevated trains picked up like
meal bags and thrown on and off cars, told to
move forward" and "step lively" everywhere
we go. no wonder we forget our manners and
neglect the stately courtesies Of the olden time
when we come to deal with the horseman and
his chariot, the only remnant Of chivalry come
down to us from bygone age. Accustomed to
throw tickets contemptuously into the mouth OF
a sausagc-choppcr for our daily transportation,
we have come to think with the Psalmst that
a horse Is vain thing. forgetful Of all the
knightly glory with which he and his master
are Invested, and Of the Difference due men
trained in the tradition OF highbOrn gentleness

gifts In addition TO their contract rates, yet our
gifts ito be appreciated must be rendered In

And why should they not be? Does not the
cabman by his own dignity and courtesy call
forth our best behavior? See him standing by
the curbstone waiting to serve us. Watch the
Difference combined with self-respecting reti-

Note how carefully he drives you, avoiding all
rough pavements, or going gently over them;
how palnstakngy he abstalns from Earring your
nerves and arousing your fears as he runs down
cable-cars; how politely he demonstrates with
drivers Of beerwagons who seek to delay your
progress how gracously and uncomplaining-
ly he sets you down at the end Of your Jour-
ney. Then think Of the climax With what
scrupulous fidelity TO law or to the contract made
at the beginning Of the drive he settles for his
work. With a modesy worthy Of his high
breeding and chivalric origin he takes for pay
only what the letter Of the law compels him to
receive, and II he made an agreement for less

FOUR YEARS AGO.

This Is fitting time TO recall to mind pas
sage Of history. The things which every ntell-
gent man knows he may not always remember
just when the recollection is most important for
his guidance as a citizen, or as n manufacturer
merchant or banker. -Four years ago II was
quite fashionable in business circles 10 be in
different about politics. Many men Of capacity
and experience went about saying TO each other
that II really did not make any difference 10
the country whether one sound man or another
should be elected President They were dead
sure that Cleveland was Sound" He had been
tried for a term, and had stood manfully against
free coinage OF silver, and men never cared 10
ask how far he would go toward destruction OF
the greenback crcu itiOn, or the National bank
Ing system, in order TO make room for State
bank notes. Harrison also had been tried, men
sad and he was unqucstionably safe. Between
two safe candidates business men were not
called upon to spend time or give money or to
get excited
Just then the clatter was all about the money
question. 1t Is apt to be in Wall Street, among
the people who deal in money and use 1t as the
chief instrument Of their business. and natural
ly think infinitely more about 1t than about the
wages of labor. The city Is crowded with i'm
porting concerns and agents Of foreign manu-
facturers and merchants and bankers, whose
interest Is to bettle the tariff question in order
that Americans may he the more easily per-
suaded to let down the bars and admit foreign
goods with less restriction. The prevalent talk
In many business circles four years ago was
that the tariff really made very little difference
with the prosperity Of the country. and that the
Mckinley tariff was anyhow extreme and too
high, and If 1t should be lowered little nobody
would be hurt.
With such cheap and superficial notions as
these, many thousand business men faced a
decision which involved for them and for twenty
million wage-earners Of this country the worst
disaster known for fifty years They were fond
In those days Of treating with superior air of
contempt the earnest appeals Of men who knew
that protective duties, which had been main
tanned without a break for thirty-One years,
could not be broken down or even seriously
threatened without a great collapse of indus
tries. The superior business men were pleased
to say that 1t was all nonsense to attach such
Importance to a tariff anyway, and that the Nc.
Kinley bill had been blunder, and 1t was no

ing was done to stop the shipment, or because
his agents were not allowed TO get aboard the
