in declaring a countervailing duty

BRITISH DECLINE TO ACCEPT
AMENDED TREATY,


Reasons Advanced by the British-Confer-
ence Between Pauncefote aud Hay.
The long expected answer from Che
British Cover nment to the state depart
ment's communication reciting the ac-
tion of the senate upon the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty was returned at noon Mon
day. Lord Pauncefote, the British
ambassador, had already acquainted
Secretary Hay with the fact that he
had received a communication from his
government on the subject, and it had
been in his possession for several days.
Secretary Hay had acquired general
knowledge of the character Of the
British response.
Lord Pauncefote read the answer to
Secretary Hay. 1t was in the form Of
an instruction from Lord Lansdowne,
the British minister of foreign affairs,
to Lord Pauncefote, and of these in
structions he left copy with Secretary
Hay.
At the conclusion Of the con ference,
1T was stated that the instruction to
Lord Pauncefote was to notify the
government of the United States that
the British government did not see it's
way clear to accept of the senate
amendments.
The amendments were treated in de-
tail at some length, in argumen tative
fashion, the purpose of the British
government being to show that it had
sound reason for declining to accept
them.

Idaho silver Republicans Disband.

The silver republican party of Idaho
has formally disbanded. Several men,
bers of the state committee were In
Boise Wednesday and meeting was
held which was attended by members
of tho legislature and some others. An
address was issued in which the mem
bers Of the party are advised to affiliate
with the democracy.
The address cites the fact of the bolt
from the St. Louis convention in 1896,
the organization of the silver republi-
can party and the subsequent events.
The attitude of the republican party
on the financial question, of foreign
war for conquest, on colonial policy
and increase of the army" on sub
serviency to corporate wealth." and in
making large appropriations, Is con-
demned. The cooperation with the
democracy is reviewed, and the part
taken by the latter in electing Senator
Dubois recalled. In concluding, the
address says:
1.-THE national democratic party Is so
thoroughly committed to the principles
we maintain and SO earnestly desirous
of accomplishing the reforms which we
seek, that no reasonable man fears a
return of that party to the principles
advocated by Grover Cleveland. II
would be as reasonable to suppose this
as to presume that the republican par
ty would return to the principles advo
Gated by Abraham Lincoln"

TIPS.

The Custom House officials at this port have
adopted measures TO prevent the taking Of
tips offered at the piers by passengers on
ocean steamships TO inspectors of baggage. II
is generally believed by travellers of extensive
experience who have crossed the Atlantic many
times that this form of petty bribery was cx
ceedingly prevalent the Wharves In the
enties and eighties OF the nineteenth century
but that il has been largely suppressed in re-
cent years. Now the Federal officials intend 10
wipe out the evil. and they can do away with
II entirely If they ,nter on the task with
resolute determination that they will stick to il
to the end OF course. there can be no defence
of such wrong No one should he permitted
by the Use of money or influence to obtain ex
ceptional privileges from the representatives Of
the Custom House. sAn passengers should be
treated justly. without partiality or discrimina-
tion.
But il must be admitted that the practice Of
giving tips" an unsOund and inequitable prac-
tice has spread widely in the United States in
the last thirty years. In the first half of the
last century ID was not the custom 10 hand
over extra money 10 walters in hotels and
restaurants TO servants of all classes to cab
men and others who were called upon to do
their regular and ordinary duties. and who were
not expected 10 exceed the usual routine of their
caIings. But the Objectionable practice has
come over the Atlantic. and armies Of wage
earners levy petty tribute upon people who no
longer expect to receive proper attention unless
they pay out considerable sums in addition to
the regular charges. In what hotel or what
restaurant in New-YOrk or any other large
American city do the patrons now venture to
hope for prompt and faithful service unless
they bestow liberal tips? The employees in
these places a rule are negligent. Indifferent
and even offensive i'm their treatment of guests
who act on the conviction that those who serve
them should look to their employers for reason
able compensation. and not put themselves in
the attitude of beggars for bounty TO which
they are not entitled.
1t is a vicious and annoying custom that OF
tipping" but II is extending almost every
where and is working more and more mischief
year by year. II tends to foster a fawning,
cringing and servile spirit among those who re-
ceive the tips" and 10 increase extravaganza
among the givers. Employers of all classes
ought to pay fair wages 10 those who work for
them. and 10 forbid their employees TO accept
