Whore the Walters Ask No odds.

Common as the practice of tipping is
becoming in this city, there must still
be restaurants in which tips are neither
given nor expected, and among these
must be some. at least, of the beef and
beans places i'll the neighborhood of Park
row. 1 have not been so familiar with
these places in recent years as used to
be years ago, before they had grown SO

practice prevails in them now. It might
be that waiter would take tip from

think if such guest should put tip
on the table the waiter would wipe it
off on the floor with the cloth with
which he swabs the table.

but in the spirit of self reliant indie

eNeL,sHMEN AND AMERICA.
Many Who Have Been Warm Friends of
This Country.


This Country.
The fact is that the English public
men who have understood America, or
who have seemed to care to understand
her, have, at least until recently, always
represented small minority. During
the first century of our national life
scarcely an Englishman of eminence
was clear sighted enough to perceive
Americas real devotion to great ideals
Our British. kinsmeD thought us horde
Of gradgr1pds and nothing else, whereas,
in spite Of q seeming absorption in ma
terial things, the national life was Crap
pling with mighty ethical and political
ideas, which the selfshness and ire
sponsibility of politicians might some
times distort, but could never stifle.
Leigh Hunt, as Lowell used to remind
us, could never think Of America with
out seeing in imagination gigantic
counter stretched all along our seaboard,
and we bore Hunts ridicule with a
complacency that was the more cheerful
because his caliber and weight of metal
were scarcely great enough to do much
execution over sea. Carlyle sneered; we
remembered his dyspepsia and forgave.
Ruskin emptied the walls of his elo-
quent contempt upon our sacrifice to
Americas freedom and integrity; we
abated no jot or little Of our veneration
for his prophets message, while we
strove to make just allowance for the
vagaries Of the hyper@sthetic tempera-
ment. These things 1t was easy to con-
done
The Englishmen who have understood
American life have judged it by some
thing besides the froth of the irresponsi-
BILE press and tho antics of provincial
Statesmen. /" Cobden's fatal exposure
of his life to do us service and John
Bright's brave words in the hour OF our
distress can never be forgotten. The
memory Of Thomas Hughes-alasl that
we must write memory" now-will
always remain a rich and fragrant leg
acy, to which, in peculiar sense, we
are coheirs with Englishmen, while the
work Of Mr. Bryce has not only won
our respect and gratitude, but is bound
to leave deep impress ON our life. None
of these men was blind to the evident
foibles, defects and crudities OF the
strenuous life of an earnest and virile
people. On the other hand, none invited
distrust by silly attempts to fiatter or
cajole. But all were quick to recognize

Who Steals the Bibies2

Although nearly all the passenger
cars running out Of Chicago have little
overhead racks marked "Read and Re-
turn" few Of these racks contain BIZ
bles, as they used to. The explanation
is that the Bibles disappeared so system
atically that the American Bible society
discontinued furnishing them, believing
that they could employ their money in
fields in which it would be more appre-
ciated. The suggestion has been made
that the Bibles be attached to the car with
chains, as city directories are in drug
stores and hotels, but the idea of chain
ing down Bible is so homogeneous that

lungs is likely to transmit that weakness to
his children. But there is no reason in the
world why the weakness should be allowed
to develop. There is no reason why the
lungs should remain weak. Weak lungs
predispose child to consumption. They
provide place for germs to settle. That
Is all that is necessary Once let the germs
of disease gain a foot-hold, and they in
crease with deadly rapidity. Pretty soon
the blood is full of them, and so loses its
healthfuiness and its strength giving quail
ties. If the weakness is in some other
organ, the disease will show itself in that
organ. The germs will get into the blood,
just the same, and the body will begin to
lose strength. We speak particularly of
consumption because it is most common
because it causes more than ne-sixth of
all deaths In the world.
If there is a weak and crumbly spot in
the foundation of house, the owner clears
out the decaying material, supplants it with
new, strong stuff. That's all there is to do.
That's all that's necessary.
That is exactly the thing to do with the
lungs. Keep them full of rich, red, whole
some blood, and the weakness will disap-
pear. Decaying tissues will be thrown of,
and new material will be added until the
lungs are well and perfectly strong again.

SIMON WON.

He Downed the Frank-Hume-Minto Ring
In Portland.
The great battle between the oppos-
ing factions,in the republican party at
Portland has b en- fought, and was
won by the Simon crowd. The Simon
crowd secured 6S delegates while their
opponents captured only 30. The
scenes witnessed at the different poll
ing places were disgraceful, and
although no one was killed, there
were good many bruised heads and
MANNED bodies. The thugs and tin
horn gamblers were out in full force,
and a large per cent of the vote cast
was by the riffratf element, substan-
tial citizens being crowded away from
the polling places by gamblers, law
breakers. thugs and outlaws.
The accounts of the scramble in the
various wards in the city, as published
in the Oregonian, are enough to dis
gust the average citizen, and indicate
that fraud, such as is known only to
the Portland politician, was practiced
everywhere. The victory is of course
q brilliant one for Simon, but, it made
little difference whether he or his op.
ponents won, honest voters had little
voice in the affair.
