The Pullman Palace car porters
have asked for raise in wages, Civ
ing as oAe Of the reasons that the tips
received from the travelling public
have so decreased that when taken in
conjunction with the wages paid by
the company the men are unable to
make living wages. OF course the
hard times have something to do with
this, but the principal reason why
tips have fallen off is because there is
a growing sentiment against system
that has become burdensome nui'
sance. There is no reason why the
Pullman car company should not
furnish servants to conduct its bust
ness without having them blackmail
and hold up the public for wages.
Many hotels now prohibit the giving
of tips to walters aud the sleeping
car companies should do the same
At any rate they should be forced to
ply their own employees. In the alb
sence OF legislation, the travelling pub
lie is beginning to rebel against the
h Did up of the lordly porter and
dimes are now given in place Of quar-
tiers. Some day tips will cease alto
gether, when the travelling public
concludes that it is more sensible to
encounter the scorn If colored por.
ter than to pay the wages of mill
ionaire's employees.

A $40 900 Fire Destroy. Two store Houses
with Thelr Contants.


Crofton was visited by disastrous
conhagration at an early hour Friday
morning. It originated in David
Bourland's general merchandise store
on the east side Of be railroad and
spread to j. T.. Croft's warehouse al.
joining. Both houses were entirely
destroyed, as there was no fire pro
lection in the town. The fire was
discovered by Thos. Hammond, an l..
a. N. section hand, who gave an alarm.
Citizens turned out, but only had tune
to save few plows and some sacks OF
clover seed. Nobody was sleeping in
either store.
The buildings were Of frame, cover
ed on the outside with iron in imita-
ton OF brick.
The Bourland building was insured
for $500 with Calls a. Wallace The
Croft building was not insured. Mr..
Bourlaud estimates his total loss at
about $1,000. In addition to the in
surance on the houss, he carried on
the stock 81 600 with Calls & Wal
lace and 81 600 with Higgins & Son.
Mr.. Croft estimates his loss on
building and contents at 81 $50, with
no insurance.
In his building d. L. Crabtree had
about $3.50 worth of implem snts
stored. His loss was total.
In the Bourland house Miss Maggie
Hendrix had millinery establish
ment. Her loss was about 500, with
no insurance. The origon of the fire
is mysterious. 1t is supposed TO have
been the work of al incendiIry, 1t
was burning on the inside Of the
building when discovered.

The Legislature adjourned sine die

Of general Importance and interest were
finally acted on until late in the session,
when the people had become impatient
and had made up their minds that
nothing Of value was to be accomplished.
One of the greatest disadvantages in
the way was that too many of the mem
bers were inexperienced. They knew
nothing of the difficulties and hindrances
which must be overcome before any
thing could be accomplished. Too many
members we're devoting their attention

Good Records.

The Legislature was fortunate In
that it had a competent force Of men
to make up its Journals. In the Sen.
ate Secretary M. Watson made q care
full, faithful officer. For this h de
serves more than ordinary credit, as
he had not had previous experience
in this line. His work has shown that
a newspaper mans experience serves
az an excellent training for this work.
Chief Clerk A. d. Gilpin Of the House
was right at home In his position. He
has been connected with the Journal
force of the last three Legislatures and
has learned the details thoroughly. The
Journals were printed from day 70 day.
A revision committee corrected any
errors which might have crept in In
the rush Of business. When the daily
Journal was printed a sufficient mum
ber of extra copies were printed for
binding at the end of the session. This
saved payment for setting the type the
second time. The work Of the record
ing officers was we'll done. Unlike
many Of their predecessors, they had
no pet schemes to get through. They
attended strictly to the business they
were paid to look after, aud ss a result

Economy in Legislative SUPPLIES.

In ordering the supplies for the Leg
islsture it has long been the rule to al
low the most extravsgant bills to pile
up. The Legislature Of two years ago
was about an average one in this re.
spect. 1t seemed that the Secretary Of
State and the legislative officers used
little or no diligence in endesvoring to
curtail expense. But this year it has
been different,
The stationery supplies in 1895 cost
S3,8S8. In 1897 the cost wss just
Sl,678. This is a clear saving OF
$2,2lO, or 1886 more than One-half of
the entire expense Of two years ago.
This Legislature has had everything
in this line that it actually needed.
The officers were not niggardly. The
facts, then, are that the Legislature
has saved $2,2l0, which amount was
absolutely wasted two years ago. 1t
has done It's work with 81, ,678 worth Of
stationery, while its predecessor used
$3,S88 for the same purpose.
This is a small saving, 1t is true; but
it is an indication of the disposition
of the officers in charge. The credit
for this saving should be shared
equally by Chief Clerk Morris Cain of
the Secretary of States office, Sergeant
alarms Solon Gray of the Senate, and
Sergesnt-at-s J. M. Dunsmore Of
the House. Secretary of State Bush
deserves credit for having selected as
chief clerk one who has made go estis-
factory a record. If all public officers
would practice economy as these men
have done the expense of the machin-
cry of State government would be
very much less and the burden of tax
alton would be ligbtened accordingly.
