COMPETITION IN STEEL,

III the accounts which come from Syd-
ney. Cape Breton, are to be relied upon
the billion dollar iron and steel syndicate
OF which Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan is the
head will not dominate the iron and steel
market of the world
1t Is asserted that at Sydney. or with
In few miles of 1t, there are almost fab
ulous quantities of excellent coal and a
deposit of hematite iron suficienct to SUM-
ply the demands of the world for MANY
years. And 1t is claimed that this coal
and iron can be mined so cheaply that
iron can be sold at $40 and steel billets
at So per ton cheaper than they can be
sold at either Birmingham or Pittsburg.
A company composed of Americans and
Canadians has been formed to make iron
and steel at Sydney. 1t has a capital of
20,0OoOOo. Iron mills are already in CD
GRAFTON and steel mills are in the course
of erection
Assuming that these fact are correct it
looks as if England would not be de-
pendent upon this country for either coal
or steel. Sydney is a thousand miles
nearer England than any American port
is, and. besides she will give preference
to her own possessions.
Some of the Cape Breton coal now finds
a market in the New England states, and
1t is to be presumed that iron and steel
from Sydney will compete in this coun-
try with the iron and steel products Of
the billion dollar steel syndicate of Mr..
Morgan-that is, IL Congress is sufficient
ly wise to remove the protection from
our steel products which the Dingley
tariff gives them.
There has been some speculation as TO
whether or not the Morgan syndicate
would not have the world at its mercy
so far as iron and steel were concerned.
II Cape Breton is as rich in iron ore and
coal as it is stated to be, there is no rea-
son to be afraid of the Morgan steel
trust.

Doing a Wall Street Broker.

A Wall street broker whose economy in
small things is in inverse ratio to his
wealth went into one of the best known
downtown restaurants for lunch ON Fri
day, says the New York Sun. He ordered
a lobster salad and bottle of beer. When
he went 10 the cashiers desk to pay his
modest check he saw q waiter with
large plate of lobster salad going toward
the bar.
Whats that salad for?' he asked the
cashier.
Free lunch" said the cashier. This
is the lobster salad day at the bar"
"Is it the same salad that is served in
the restaurant"
Certainly. Why don't you try some?"
"Why, I've just had some inside and
here is my check for it, / consider this
business a swindle. Why didn't the waiter
tell me / could get the salad free at the
bar? 1 might have ordered a glass Of
beer and had my salad then"
Business was brisk on the exchange
during the afternoon, but the broker spent
most of his time telling how this restau-
rant had swindled him out of 40 cents
needlessly spent for salad which was free
at the bar

ArIGHr AGsINsr rlppING.

Some months ago in New York Mark
Twain declined to be held up by cab
man for a sum Of money over and above
the regular cab fare. The "cabbie" ha
become so accustomed to receiving tips
from those he hauled that he looked upon
the bonus as a matter Of right, and de-
manded more money of the humorist.
The course OF the case has been extern
sively written up in the public prints.
This was the beginning of an extensive
kick against tipping. in New York. which
promises to bear fruit. The abuse of the
system had gone TO such an extent that
every servant in hotel or restaurant,
every expressman, cabman. barber, por-
ter. hall boy or other person who per-
formed any sort of similar service looked
for a tip after each service The person
who ordered a dinner in a public eating
place was expected TO give the waiter who
served it anywhere from 10 per cent. to
50 per cent. of its cost as a gratuity; and
If such person failed to come across"
he was a marked man in that walters
eye and might expect to find it difficult
another visit
The custom, by the way, has extended
all over the country. 1t is to be found in
the South as we'll as the North, and in
Savannah as well as in New York. The
keeper of a popular New York restau-
rant was some time ago asked why he
did not put a stop to the Tip or starve"
IN r.1o
got to live" he replied. II cannot af-
ford to pay them much wages, and they
have got to get incomes some way" At
the time the restaurant man was wear
ing diamonds and investing money in city
property. And his customers had to pay
him for the food he sold them, and then
pay the walters to bring it to them
1t is said that in New York anti-tip-
ping clubs are being formed. The mem
bers pledge themselves not to patronize
places where tipping is permitted or en-
couraged. and to use their influence to
draw off other custom from those places.
To provide for the requirements Of the
antl-tlppers certain hotels and restau-
rants are adopting a strict anti-tip rule;
the servant who asks for or receives a
tip is forthwith discharged. And business
in such places is reported to be good and
improving.
Tipping is a nuisance, tyranny, and a
species of bribery. The custom puts the
patron under obligation to the servant,
and often subjects the gentleman to vi
tuperation from mental An occasional
"douceur" for good service faithfully per-
formed is not to be objected to. but the
perpetual, indscriminate tip is an evil
without reason or excuse

MORGAN WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.

Senator Morgan has made extraordinary
efforts to get the Hepburn Nicaragua Ca
nal bin passed by this Congress. It has
passed the House and is pending in che
Senate, where Mr.. Morgan is trying every
possible way TO get it 10 a vote.
He is going to be disappointed. The Re-
publicans do not intend the bill shall
come up for final action until the Clayton
Bulwer treaty is out Of the way, and It
may be therefore long time before 1t
is satisfactorily disposed Of
In the meantime the efforts that are be-
ing made TO get the United States to pur-
chase the Panama Canal and abandon the
Nicaragua route are being redoubed. 1t
1t safe prediction that between the ad-
journment of this Congress and the meet
Ing of the next in regular session there
will be a vast amount Of work done in
the interest Of the scheme 40 unload the
Panama Canal on the United States.
DR.. Carlos Martinez Silva. the Finance
Minister of Tie Republic Of Colombia, is
now in New York to see what can be done
towards getting the United States to pur-
chase the Panama Canal. 1t seems that
the government of Colombia has extended
Its concessions to the Panama Company
from 1904 TO 1910 for the consideration of
100000, but ia thinks 1t can get the COM
pany TO sell out 10 the United states.
The truth is, in all proba bllity, that the
Government Of Colombia does not believe
the Panama Company viii ever be able
TO finish the canal, and it may be that
the company is of the same opinion That
being the case, there would be but little,
IL any, difficulty in striking a bargain
for the canal.
But do the United States want the Pan
anna Canal on the conditions which II
could be had, or in fact, on any condi-
tons whatever? That is question that
Will no doubt receive a good deal of at
tention during the next few months. And
the position the British Government
takes in respect to the Senate amend
ments to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty may
have some bearing upon the question. In
the meantime mir. Morgan will worry
about the Hepburn bill. but he will not
be able to get 1t passed as soon as he

Sometimes a wild bird rests upon
crumbing rock and sings:

That tender note he brings?
Here lies a grave so short and small,
'Twould touch a mothers heart:

And here around "A faded name
