case of the kind. Not long ago a wealthy
French gentleman was found dead in the COM

not met with foul play, but had been strangled

which are attached to each other by strong
cords. The number and size or the kites
selected vary according to theveloCity OF the

Partisan walters have revolted against
two or three generations, and their wages
have been consequently lowered. Finally y
the landlords capped the climax by de-
nandng that the waters pay something for
the privilege of getting the tips. That
was too much-much too much, as Artemus
Ward used 10 say The walters rose up
as one French roll. and demanded higher
wages and no tips whatever. This is surely
a much more sensible arrangement, and
should be adopted on this side of the water,
as it has been in one or two places. The
influence OF the tip is almost universally
held to be demoralizing, but few people
reason the thing out TO its legitimate
cause. In the first place. the tip is a
coutrivance on the part of the guest to get
more and better service than the waiter
tenders to another person on whom he Is
paid to wait with the same care. 1t is in
the nature of bribe. The consequence is
that some walters become dem0r allied;
an0 spend all their energies on the people
from whom they hope to get dispropor
ttonate returns, while the other guests have
to put up with less efficient service.
The waiter who does his best to serve all
as well as he can, suffers from competi-
ton with the less scrupulous employ ye.
Ultimately the rate of wages is lowered
below the living point, and the waiter is
scheme In order to live. The sensible plan
is to have no tips and higher pay. 1t will
cost the guest less, even if he has little
higher bill to pay, and it VIII save the

SuIlIyau's Platform.


If John l. Sullivan is ever mayor OF
Boston, and if he manages TO carry out
his political platform, that City VIII be
treated to Some new and beautiful ideas
Nobody ever accused the great prize
fighter of being deep psychological
thinker, but somehow or other he had a
good mlny warm personal friends, aud
the humanity that Won him friends seems
to have cropped out in his ideas OF the
mayors office.
mo man ever said he could bribe John
L. Sullivan" the burly ex-champion says
with blunt pride; and though the fact
that nobody ever said il might have
been dle to sullivan's fighting weight.
it probably couldn't be said except as d
lie.
John L. Sullivan, however, comes ont
with one idea that has the mark of
originality. There are precious few Of
ficals who have express ed themselves
as strongly as he has in favor OF the
rights of children, especially poor chill
dren. He says:
Any man that drives away a boy for
playing baseball, I'd Just chase block
or TWO myself, to show him how IL feels
I'd find places for small children to play.
I'm no socialist I've handled 81, 100000
in my time but IL makes me tired TO see
a city spending millions on paths for
horseback and bicycle riding, and holler-
ing anarchy If any man asks for land
that children can nave 1un on
Ii you want to stop the growth of
thieves treat poor little children right.
Make them think that somebody has an
interest In them, and don't let them grow
up with "a feeling that the world is down
on them.
In that last sentence Sullivan has gone
as straight to the root of the slum prob
lem as that mighty fist Of his ever went
at an opponents jaw. The most tremen-
tous agency for Improvement in this world
is hope, based on self-Iespect. 1t may be
emphatlcally stated that there is moth
ing on earth that will push a man or a
woman into perdition so fast as the feel
ing that he or she has lost the respect of
the public; that there s no hope of any
thing except tolerance or condemnation
in the future. 1t Is this which is al the
root of half the caste systems OF the
world not the love of wealth or ease.
The woman of wealth and position feels
that she would gladly starve rather than
lose the respect of her circle. To the shop
girl who feels that she will lose the re-
spect of her friends by taking service
want has no terrors in comparison. Take
away the feeling OF selfrespect, warped
and perverted though 1t may be by false
standards, and there is nothing left on
which to build. Let child grow up with
the feeling that the world is, as Sullivan
expresses It, down on him; that he can
never be the equal of those whom he al
u.ires; that they viii always tre at him as
an inferior, and right there he takes the
( first step toward becoming an inferior.

4 dispatch from PittSburg that the United
States Brewers Association, acting on the
advice of their attorney, Hon. Ben. Butter
worth, would fight the ruling of the
internal revenue burea u on the beer stamp
rebate OF seven and half cents, has di-
rected criticism against Mr.. Butterworth
That gentleman, as Commissioner of
Patents, draws $4,000 a year, yet he ap-
pears in the indelicate position of fighting
the Go vernment in matter which involves
several hun ndred thousand dollars revenue.
During the few days prior to the passage
of the Dingley bill the brewers bought five
or six million dollars worth of beer stamps,
paying therefor ninetytwo and a half cents
ON the dollar, they being allowed seven and
half cents rebate under the old law. In
ternal Revenue Commissioner Forman held
that the Government is entitled to the full
dollar tax after the passage of the new
Law, and that the brewers would have TO
put dollar stamps on beer on and after
midnight of July %.
Under this ruling the brewers would not
gain anything by their advance purchase
of stamps, and as the l2 cents on the
whole quantity they bought footed up to
between S400 900 and $450,00O, they
beodrle very indignant. The internal
revenue office is not advised as to Just
what course the brewers intend to pursue
uc save that money by heating Uncle Sam
out OF 1t , hut officials Of the bureau smile
grimlv and refer to the power which the
law gives them to seize summa rily brewing
property when refusal Is made to pay the
stamp tax according to the rules laid down
,ly the Treasury Department. The Interna.
Revenue Bureau in such cases is armed
with authority equal to a court officer
seizing property under foreclosure after
the last day of grace.
