WASHlNGTON'S FINE TACT.

"fhe social punctilio Of the Philadel-
pha Assembly was enforced perhaps
more rigidly i'm the early Colonial days
than it is today for when a girl whose
name had been on its lists of the cho-
sen indiscreetly took a goldsmith and
jeweler for a husband she was dropped
at once from participation i'm the sa-
cred functions for having committed
the objectionable crime of marrying
in trade" writes William Perrine of
THE Most Aristocratic Social Event
i'm America" in the January Ladies'
Home Journal. The trade line of
demarcation. indeed. gave rise ulti-
mately to a social war, and second
Assembly was formed. made up chief
~ of the families Of tradesmen in op-
position 10 the aristoCracy The con-
flict came on while Washington was
living i'm Philadelphia as President. So
intense was IL that each party strug-
gled to gain the favor or the great
man and his wife. The one Assembly
announced a great ball in honor OF his
birthday for the night before the
twenty-second OF February; the other
prepared for similar event The night
afterWard. and the sagacious Washing
ton delivered himself from the dilem-
ma by attending both. and proposing
ON each occasion the same toast--'The
state of Pennsylvania But there was
another version OF the strife which
gave much delight To the populace In
their speculations over the rivalries OF
the quality. 1t was that Washington,
who was a good dancer, had gone 10
the ball OF the plebcian Assembly
and had there led the CotillOn with the

Always an interesting town, with
much going on i'm IL. either 60 instruct
or to warn, as the case may be. New
York city is just now affording an IL
lustration OF taxation and salary grab
blng that from some point OF view or
another ought TO teach something. The
raise OF salaries all through the mu-
nicipal departments seems To astonish
the New Workers. but why IL should is
difficult for an outsider. who holds hor-
ror-views on the subject of Tammany
rule. TO understand. 4 year or so ago
the New Workers went Tammany mad
and boosted that organization into
power with the new Greater New York
just beginning its career. and there was
much rejoicing. If Tammany doesn't
get anything more out of it than comes
by the way OF few salaries, the citi-
zens OF the metropolis ought to be very
thankful.

How big Is the increase i'm the tax
able value of New Norks land inn
provements Is sufficiently shown by a
few generally familiar samples. The
valuation OF the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel
Is increased by nearly two millions, but
az the valuation then IS only five and
one-half millions. il is plain that no
serious injustice is being done. The
Grand Central Station is valued at
million more than IL was last year.
Bowling Green building. which up TO
now enjoyed the ridiculously small
valuation OF half a million. is now de-
clared 10 be worth a million ANA a half
for taxation purposes. It is claimed
that this wholesale increase i'm valua-
tion on buildings where real estate is
held at tremendous prices is not car
ried out 10 include smaller buildings,
but that the owners OF small houses
and the great mass OF the homes of
New York will feel no pinch from the
new assessment.

MR.. TILAK IN TROUBLE.

There has been for somedays past,
says the Times. OF India, keen con-
troversy going on I'm the native papers
of Poona on the question whether Mr..
Tilak, having partakcn, while in jail. Of
food cooked by nom -Brnhming and
having come i'm contact there with
low-castc people. should undergo the
pains and penalties of prayaschit in
ample form. including the shaving OF
his mustache. 1t is said that Mr. Tilak
is willing, 10y way of compromise. to
undergo prayaschit. provided he Is not
called upnn 20 shave his mustache.

'TWlxr you AND ME-.

Do you know il doesn't take a very
big stone 10 make lots of ripple on "A
pretty large surface of water.
We are here today and gone to-
morrow and in our short span we suf-
fer no end OF sldetrackings, are switch
"a off ana ON with frequency and find
our trolley OF fully half the time.
Now here's Billy Budd.
I'm bet he kicked the cat and dis
charged the office boy when he got
down town this beautiful morning.
All Nature was smiling when !
came out this morning ana first saw
Billy. Billy was smiling, too. But with
in the short space OF the next few
minutes Nature was smiling exclu-
sively by herself.
1t was this way.
When / first saw Billy Budd he was
standing on his front door steps msten-
ing TO some parting words from Mrs
Budd or Julie Budd as everybody down
our way calls her--never think OF re-
ferrinS TO her as Mrs. Budd" any
more than we do To Billy as "Mr."
and Julie Budd, which of course are
their names--only it may strike you as
sort of familiar-but they ore that
kinda real nice, cosy pair. YOU know.
Perhaps YOU have some like them in
your nicghborhood. If you do you are
lucky
Folks that you know that way
like Billy and Julie Budd-are always
the incest kind, | think.
OF course Billy Budd could never
be President of the United States and
IL would be phenomenal If he got as far
as the. common council. No fellow with
a cosy name like that can get very
high IN a public way.
Even if he has ambitions that
strain him. which he usually hasn't.
The Lord seems To provide it that
fellows with names like Billy Budd's
don't have ambitions SO big that they
pain EN-.
To get very far i'm this world. So
no,.sus name must be ones possession.
Like Cl2uncey NJ. Depew.
Or WhYiam Mckinley.
Or 5. Grover Cleveland-and he
had To drop off the IS" before he could
get his anchors awegh.
Or Daniel l.. -. Granger.
Why when we used to call him
Dan" he was nothing but good
young lawyer.
1t was the same with William G.
Baker-until he struggled away from
"Wil" and billy" he hadn't a ghost
OF a show for anything but AN office
practice

him i'm politics while one OF the most
sonorous names / know of led to "a
greatness which only an astonishing
lot of opposing complications was able
TO reduce | refer To my esteemed fell
low citizen, John Marselus Brennan.
Well. l was going TO tell you of
what Il was that temporarily diverted
the cheerful spirit of Billy Budd this
morning.

one need not be churchman TO feel
glad that the Rev. George Mcclellan
Fske is to remain in the city and with
the parish that have had the benefit so
long of his Christian activities. DR..
Fiske has enjoyed number of such
compliments To his zeal and efficiency
as that just paid him by call to
large parish i'm New York, but IL one
may anticipate the future by judgment
on the past it may be doubted IL any
parish will show greater return for
effort expended or give more cordial
recognition OF such effort than has
that Of ST. stephens, which Dr. Fiske
has led upward and onward i'm
so notable a fashion. At an events, IL
he is content TO stay and finds here
abouts an abundant mission. there Is
no question that everybody is glad that
he looks at IL that way. while i'm the
church of which he is one of the rec
cognzed leaders. his decision must be
received with especial rejoicing. Dr.
Fiske Is not only a most sincere church
man, but ne is also an indefatlgablc
worker. and, without disrcspect, we
trust we may add. a good fellow.

The droves OF Tammanyites who went
into Office a year ago were mostly
greenies then, but the natural pre-
sumption must be that they are worth
more to the municipality after years
experience than they were when they
so modestly 'accepted' the jobs that
an admiring constituency thrust upon
them. If not. IL may reasonably be de-
manded, why not? So the pay of most
of the employees in most of the depart
ments has been raised by percentage
sufficient to encourage the Tammany
Office holders not to give up their jobs
and leave the municipality In the lurch
altogether or go on strike or anything
OF that sort. Long service, one year, is
rewarded, and perhaps at the end of
another year there will be another
raise. Some OF the newspapers call the
salary raising business piece OF inn
pudence and are otherwise harsh I'm
their language. 1T is pointed out that
under the new pay table there Is an
expressman i'm the Office OF the City
Record that gets $500 n year, and no
one seems to be able to comprehend
how a plain. everyday expressman can
be worth SO much money 90 the city.
Quite likely equally expert bundle
busters could be secured at n some
what reduced rate. But it isn't a mat
ter for discussion. Tammany has the
offices and the taxes, and the idea nat
urally is to have the office holders and
the available resources "even up" at
the end of every twelvemonth, so that
there shall not be more office holders
than money or. contrariwise. more
money than office holders. And equally
ingenious with the protest Of many
citizens appears To be the plea of the
more than seven hundred school teach
ers OF the Borough OF Queens in the
greater city who are paid an average
of $500 "A year salary for a reasonable
increase. Tammany has mo- money to
spareg6r suburban school teachers.
